trade office/merch guild(2 plots, only need 1 city with these buildings, and they do not need to be lvled that high, upkeep in wood, clay, stone)

2 geomancers(2 plots, upkeep 1400 wood, 4600 clay, 3000 stone; need one city with these for every 6-7 in a cluster, alliancemates can cover for each other and make sure you add resource increase buildings as needed)

you may also want to build a runemaster temporarily, a lvl 20 runemaster will double the effectiveness of your runes and you can demolish the building after you cast the spell and keep the effectiveness

The Quest from the Fortune Teller

The rewards for the quest are dependent on a player's own race

  • Elven Spirit Bow   

  • Orc Marauder Sword  

  • Dwarven Champion Armour 

  • Master-crafted Chainmail (human)  

     

To start this quest

  • Complete all crafting research in a single city

  • Send advanced spies to the Fortune Teller until the fortune received is that you wish to learn the secret of one of the above mentioned crafted items.

  • 2 NPC visits will occur at the city from the Old Crone

    • the 1st will say to await further instructions

    • the 2nd will say to obtain 5 of each race's corrupted tentacles, and then send a messenger to Duraz Karag

  • After sending the messenger to Duraz Karag, the message says that the city must endure an attack in order to progress to the final task.

    • In 2014, players who had cities doing the quest, who sent messengers to Duraz Karag while the Heart of Corruption was beating, received messages from the Captain of the Guard that were problems in the area

    • Villagers disappeared in the night.

    • The corrupted tentacles broke free from the jars they were being kept in and escaped from the towns.

    • Corrupted squares (similar to the ones surrounding the Heart of Corruption) began growing around the cities.

    • Noxious spores (at the time, called "mist") appeared on the city squares.

    • No more is known about how to finish the quest or how to progress to the final task.

  • Players who send messengers to Duraz Karag when the Heart of Corruption is not beating will not progress forward in the quest. The HoC must be beating.

The code to place the 'cat head' image over my normal avatar:

Obviously you need to replace the src tag with the URL of your image (it needs to be publicly available).

  1. Click the Edit Profile button and then scroll down until you see the editor.
  2. In the editor click the <p>Source button in the editor.
  3. Scroll down in the editor to the bottom.
  4. Paste in the code for your image.
  5. Click the Update Profile button.
  6. Scroll back up to the very top of the page and choose a different Illy page than Profile.
