Actually there's a fourth Weather-related rumor.

>The publican ponders for a moment before saying, "You know, I did hear an interesting tidbit from Steel Claw Clan. There have been less and less taffelberries in Arthe Dale lately. This explains the fluex of the prices in the markets lately for them. The rivers have frozen up near the taffelberry orchards and it seems that they have mages trying to melt it so that the crops can grow."

Can we say Ice Age? Blizzard?

Ask the npc FOR rumor. Remember that some NPCs will only talk to certain races/classes.

You would ASK <npc> FOR RUMOR.

The reminder is that not all NPCs are part of the rumor system, and even NPCs who are part of the rumor system won't always talk to everyone. Some will only talk to members of certain races/sex/guilds/etc.

I honestly don't know offhand - I'm a plat bardess, for one thing, and for another I've been on Ratha for quite some time now and haven't really talked to all that many NPCs for the rumor system.

Most taverns have a tavernkeeper, barkeeper or waitress that you might try talking to. I think there's also a plethora of stableboys and such who may talk as well. Or you might try asking around your guild and see if anyone's had any luck.

I do know that some of the NPCs will talk to guilds besides bard & trader - I just don't know which ones. I also know the messaging is different if they don't want to talk to you rather than just not being part of the rumor system, but I don't remember the specific messaging for either. With luck someone else will be able to point you toward a few NPCs who are willing to talk to skra mur barbs :)

>>I'm an S'kra Mur barb, mind telling me if you know of any npc's that might want to have a word with me?<<

The rumor system is for Bards and Traders.

I would also like to add that being in 'Brawl mode' can affect wether you are talked too or not.

some of 'em will only talk to one guild as well. the human barkeeper in the sandspit where I live won't talk to my trader <s'kra> brother, but will talk to my olvi bard for quite a while.

Are any/all the NPC's that speak to you in the rumor system highlighted in monsterbold?

Speaking of trying to find rumor giving NPC's, does anyone have a list of all of them?

In Therenborough, I know there's a traveller or something like that in the inn there; In Riverhaven there's one in the Noble Inn and in the Saltfisher and one in the trader guild stables (who I didn't know about until I read the boards); In Crossings there's the barmaid in Taelberts (Nice choice by the way), I think there's one in the Half-Pint, not sure. Those are the only ones I know, and they all seem to ignore my human paladin.

>I believe there's about 50 NPCs total in the system so far. I know there's one in Theren and one in Leth, plus some in Haven, Crossing, Shard, Ratha, Aesry and probably Musper'i and possibly some of the other islands.

Only one in Theren? Who is it?
Anyone have a great list like that for Therengia?

::smiles hopefully::

you missed a few others.

<<you missed a few others.

Only one I missed was the Sand Spit. I said my list was only for bars and inns. I've never played a Trader so I wouldn't know where to begin on where their little spots and stables are. I just made sure I put in Riverhaven's stableboy..because he'll talk to ANYONE.

I always forget about the Sand Spit. :)

I did check the bars on the Amusement Pier, nothing in their taverns. And they didn't put one in Stone Clan's Brodger, which is really too bad.

Ok, question. Has anyone been able to speak to this guy? I'm a tog barb in M'riss and I can't even get a peep out of him. I know it's a bard and trader system too.

It helps if you spell Rumor right.

When it comes to a game, and the spelling the system will recognize, only one spelling matters.

Just for kicks, I'm checking on the possibility of making ASK NPC FOR RUMOUR work the same as RUMOR...

Will keep you updated...
