== Known Issues ==
 
* This isn't technically an issue, but in the release notes it indicated that in [[The Jester]] quest, he would now reward you with a "jester card" for killing the jester when repeating the quest. This was not referring to the [[Jester Card]], rather that you will get a random card from amongst the jester cards (more commonly referred to as GY cards in game).
 
* Even though you can apply [[Salvaged Ivory]] to the [[Visage of Menilesh]], if you drop it or mule it, the pick-up timer of 13 days is still in place and will prevent you from picking it back up.
 
* "Master's Lectern cast Enervation of the Heart on you, but it is surpassed by Avalenne's Blessing" - the debuff is surpassed by a buff.
 
* When attempting to give the [[Jester]] the [[Jester's Marker]] from the [[Jester's Lost Marbles]] quest he doesn't know what to do with it. [[Image:Killargurg Moved.jpg|right|100px]]
 
* On Friday 6/20 the quest [[Disturbance in the Ley Lines]] was disabled ([[Lord Rytheran]] is no longer available). It will remain disabled until a TBA hotfix that will address flagging bugs with the quest. [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?&postid=409154#post409154 Link]
 
* Was there an earthquake in Yanshi? Or are the statues alive?
 
 
=== [[Typos]] ===
 
* In the Falatacot Visitor's Alcove, when you enter the room with the Falatacot Warden Statue, you see this message: "The state [sic] looks as if it has been tampered with...its eyes are dull." -- should be "statue".
 
 
=== Hotfix ===
 
* Tuesday June 24th from 9:00am - 12:00 pm EDT. This downtime will address the recent closing of the new quest involving Rytheran. The [[Visage of Menilesh]] timer was not fixed. [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?&postid=409499#post409499 Link]

Viamontian Town Criers

Free Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "An informant told me the Jester will fix a Soul Bound Caster or Soul Bound Atlatl if you have a problem with one of them."

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard that Rytheran has become interested in the works of the Falatacot. Interesting, no?"

Town Crier tells you, "I have received reports of a Bloodless scholar seeking information on one of their long-dead heroes, someone they call the Green Mire Warrior."

Town Crier tells you, "I have reports of young adventurers finding bows of unusual strength somewhere between the Bloodless towns of Holtburg and Glenden Wood."

Town Crier tells you, "The Graveyard's Fool continues to flaunt his power. Watch him closely to ensure that the mainlanders do not tip the balance of power in their favor."

Town Crier tells you, "There are rumors that a pair of strange scouts have taken up residence in the Bloodless town of Wai Jhou, seeking information on the undead lord known as Rytheran."

Town Crier tells you, "Remember the Blood Witch Numuhdira who was assisting His Majesty during the war? Apparently she's dispatched agents to Bur to investigate something."

Pyreal Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "Ivory Crafters around Dereth have placed new importance on the High Acolyte's Skull, and are offering larger rewards for gaining one."

Town Crier tells you, "I have several reports of a Bloodless Scholar in Shoushi, sending adventurers into the Green Mire Grave to retrieve weapons and armor for him to study. It may be worth your while to retrieve these things for use in battle yourself."

Town Crier tells you, "We have reports that two representatives from rival hidden factions are stationed in Wai Jhou, recruiting adventurers for a foray into the lair of Rytheran, the undead lord. Even more strange, one of these people is a Viamontian!"

Town Crier tells you, "I've received reports of several adventurers entering the dungeon of Hunter's Leap finding bows that are both easy to wield and powerful. It may be of benefit to our King for these bows to be collected."

Town Crier tells you, "Our scouts report strange new Summoning Stones in the Graveyard. Please investigate them."

Mainland Town Criers

Free Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "If your Soul Bound Staff or your Soul Bound Atlatl is broken I hear the Jester can fix them for you."

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard rumors that people have found something new of Lilitha's."

Town Crier tells you, "Rumor has it that Harlune has picked up and left the Mite Maze, though he still maintains a residence there. It might be worth finding out what's going on down there."

Town Crier tells you, "Someone told me the Jester is collecting some sort of crystal sphere for something."

Town Crier tells you, "We have heard that a pair of scouts have appeared in Wai Jhou, asking questions about Rytheran..."

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard rumors of a scholar seeking information on the Green Mire Warrior."

Pyreal Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard from Eldrista the Adventurer that the bows Lilitha made that people collect from Hunter's Leap have changed. Perhaps someone in there found a new stash of bows Lilitha left there?"

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard that Roderick, the bodyguard in the Mite Maze who's watching over Harlune's business, has some shady ties..."

Town Crier tells you, "Ivory Crafters around Dereth have placed new importance on the High Acolyte's Skull, and are offering larger rewards for gaining one."

Town Crier tells you, "The Jester has placed a few Summoning Stones in the Graveyard. I suppose he got depressed hanging out in a Graveyard all day."

Town Crier tells you, "My uncle told me he ran into a scholar in Shoushi, seeking people to go into the Green Mire Grave to retrieve the Green Mire Warrior's Cuirass and Yari for him."

Town Crier tells you, "Word is that two mysterious strangers in Wai Jhou seek adventurers to go after the undead lord Rytheran. Even more interesting, these mysterious strangers are not friends with each other at all."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant

Free Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh ho, so people are seeking out Rytheran for what he knows about the book, are they? They should have come to me. I already know all about that book. Read it years ago. Here's a hint
everyone dies in the end."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know, Lilitha just came through here, looking for her bow. Heh, okay, I'm pulling your leg. Lilitha hasn't been here in ages. Not since I stole her bow after that one night of drunken carousing. She was a fine warrior, but she couldn't hold her liquor."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The Falatacot asked the Empyreans for help. Seriously, what were they thinking..."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Exactly! They weren't!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I heard the Nutty Prophesier has been spouting a bunch of crazy warnings about something evil coming and eating us all."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Normally, I would take Jester warnings with a heaping mug full of mad cow milk."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That was before I started having the nightmares again. I can't remember them, but... they werent good."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Have you heard about those changes in the Green Mire Grave? I remember my first adventures in there, when I was new to Dereth... I used to stand on the other side of locked doors and make people tell me knock-knock jokes to open the door for them..."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That all ended when Oswald came through. He wouldn't tell me a joke, so I told him to pick the lock by himself. I do believe he shivved me in the kidney, right through the door lock!"

Stout Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Doesn't it feel like something's in the air? There's a certain smell, a smell of things changing, alignments shifting. Like a new island could arise out of the sea, or some chunk of land could fall off of Dereth... It smells like impending catastrophe."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, wait, that's just my socks."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know, I really admire that Harlune fellow. I mean, he taught Celcynd everything he knows, right? And Celcynd spends all of his time in a bar drinking! Clearly, Harlune is wise."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ah, summer. My favorite time of year, when the tourists flock to Ayan Baqur for the cool ocean breezes and the periodic invasions of hordes of hostile creatures. I like to barbecue in the summer. But the last time I did, Aerbax came and stole all the stout. I'll never forgive him for that."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "All right, I'll try again. Here, take this to the Jester. It's my finest home brew."

Ulgrim crosses his arms and smiles proudly.

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Once he tries that he won't be able to get enough of the stuff and I can finally make peace with the nutter. Maybe even have him over for a few drinks. I never said he wasn't interesting, just a Sira-loonie."

If you take Ulgrim's Home Brew to the Jester as he suggests, the Jester will portal you back to Ulgrim the Unpleasant in Ayan Baqur (dropping you from several hundred feet up in the air).

You give Jester Ulgrim's Home Brew.

Jester tells you, "For me? Thanks!"

The Jester dumps the stout out on the ground and puts the mug on his head.

Jester tells you, "How do I look? Stylish eh?"

Jester tells you, "I like this Ulgrim fellow. Go thank him for the wonderful hat for me."

Jester tells you, "I'll have to invite him for a game of cards some day soon."
