Re: Broken Quest

Just buy the damn seeds! You will be repaid ten fold after it is done. actually you won't...the quest reward its 10 silver and 1 farming skill, buying seeds costs 50 coppers each(I think, but it could have been 40) so 5(4) silver total cost(don't say buy 1 plant harvest repeat because a flail costs...

Re: Lizard Fishing

One fishing pole can yield almost 1000 fish and fishing poles no longer need to be fixed with thread. Lizards can also still eat raw fish, so once you get a fishing pole (which should be a simple task), you're set for quite some time. that would be helpful if my character had tools to make a fishin...

but if they're not close enough to interact with the npc they won't be close enough to hear a whisper...unless I'm seriously mistaken
