Right so solution in full is:

Runes

runedoku.jpg

Numbers (rotated clockwise 90 degrees as the reference numbers suggest it should be)

sudokucv.jpg

 

2 = D3 | 9 = G8 | Body = I7 | Fire = B1 - Before rotating number grid and before either is filled in using these references you find how grids are marked.

Namely A - I left to right, and 9 - 1 top to bottom.

 

 

Highlight "riddles" to find the actual riddles:

"There are a lot of white keys and 1/4 of them are black. Where do they go?

 

"What is in chalices, seats and platters but not in urns, buckets or thrones?" | L - (X + X) - XXII

A is in the first 3 words, but not last 3.

Sum: 50 - (10+10) - 22 = 8

A8

 

It captures you. It moves you. Then it's done. It tingles in the back of your head, tempting you to chase it. What is it?"

 

"I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?" | X - (V + III)

E is first letter of end, last in time and space. Is in creation and starts and ends "every place".

Sum: 10 - (5 + 3) = 2

E2

"If you say my name I am no more."

 

"What is the end of everything?" | (X - VII) + (V - II)

G is the last letter of everything.

Sum: (10 - 7) + (5 - 2) = 6

G6

 

Apply answers to grids:

Note the references for number grid do NOT rotate with the grid once filled in

A8 lands on water and 7 so 7 water runes

E2 - 4 and fire

G6 - 6 and body

I have to say the 3 fake riddles are quite nice too especially the third, even if they don't help anything:

 

 

"There are a lot of white keys and 1/4 of them are black. Where do they go?

On a piano

 

 

It captures you. It moves you. Then it's done. It tingles in the back of your head, tempting you to chase it. What is it?"

An idea.

 

 

"If you say my name I am no more."

Nothing.

I like the twist on this one, in that it's no more once you name it because nothing is a word. So once you say nothing it is not nothing.

Could be silence as well

That'd actually make more sense if the context of say my name actually. As obviously if u say silence there is no silence while you say it.

Although this is a little off topic to the Rune-Doku, Has anyone else noticed a character in Christmas Robes in every 'Painting' of Avalani's so far?

 

Maybe this figure will play a larger part later on, hopefully.

You mean twice Christmas ghost costume spotted on screenshot.

 

And more off topic: the reward pieces plus rock fragment are now added to the Seasonal Items guide > Miscelaneous Items guide.

Sweet. Now THIS is a puzzle that makes the men weep.

Ah thanks for the grid reference part.

For me I skipped the sodoku and went for the hidden things, unfortunately I 'extracted' answers based on the riddles and went to the person, (nice title reference!) and was of course wrong; I had wine, air, and death oh well.

I'm so dissapointed in myself after looking at that solution, I was able to find and do everything apart from getting the grid turning in the wrong way so that all the numbers didn't match up.

 

Nice work slaves team

Why can I not do part 2? I just did part one yesterday.

Here are my finished notes that don't make sense out of context.

He did A9 not A8.

So miss solved:

L - (X+X) - XXII to 9 instead of 8

50 - (10 + 10) - 22

50 - 20 - 22

30 - 22

8

 

My guess is mis reading XXII as XXI

Unbelievably easy today

 

[spoiler=Todays Solution]2 minds, 3 ropes, 4 standard logs, 4 leather gloves, gem trader in al kharid

 

 

Kind of a shame since I was hoping today would be nice and tricky, but I like the way the clues worked anyway :) It'd have been nicer if the maps covered p2p areas but ofc they cant down to it being f2p, just made it a bit easy really.

[hide] Part 2 is ~ 5 anchovies,2 bread, and 1 garlic....Make sure you bring it to Murky Matt the EXACT number and unnoted, nothing else in your inventory.... Ohh and the anchovies must be cooked not raw.

 

Hope that helps if not then I dont know!

Part 3 & 4 is now out as well... [/hide]

If you find yourself unable to progress, it's probably because you haven't yet talked to Avalani at the Clan Camp after giving the clue items to the mystery person. You need to speak with her after doing so to advance the plot.
