Rumor has it... 11/23/2004 10:58 AM CST

Greetings!

I just heard an interesting tidbit from Saranna about a famous Commoner preparing to hide small treasures around Elanthia. Let's hope this Commoner spreads rumors to help folks find out where the goodies are hidden. Oh I'm sure the treasures won't be as elaborate as 'official' treasures hidden but I bet it would be fun to find one!

Hm... Now why didn't "I" think to do that?

There anywhere to hear rumors in Rossmans yet?

Rumor has it that the rumor system has some rumors in it. This applies to both Plat and Prime.

Some rumors are worth more than others. There is quite a bit of dross in the system, but those who can listen to the right people might occasionally find something interesting.

Remember that it takes rumors a while to spread, so keep checking back with the system, or check rumors as you travel. If you think the rumors in the system are lame, then add your own!

Sorry for the ignorance, but can all guilds input (not receive) rumors into the system or is it guild only?

Pretty sure only bards and possibly traders can put rumors in the system.

Yes, Bards and Traders can get rumors and start rumors. There is also a skill check involved, and geography matters.

How does a character that isn't a Bard or Trader interact with the Rumor system?

There are NPCs who will accept rumors from people other than traders or bards. Try the table monger in Crossing, or the stable boy in Riverhaven.

Thanks. I learned something!

If anyone could help flesh this article out that would be great.

http://elanthipedia.com/wiki/Rumor_System

I was putting on the discussion page who would/would not accept rumours - but that's a long and tedious process because I don't always have a rumour to try to submit and I don't want to clog it with "THIS IS A TEST".

I also want to fill out where each person can be found and who they will give rumours to.

Thanks!

I'm under the impression that the rumor system is a bit incomplete- but that it was originally intended to be a bit complex. I do know that most bartenders will talk to most bards. But the barmaids are more likely to talk to male bards. I'm under the impression that the gal in the Pig's Pannage in Tiger Clan will only talk to togs, though I'm not sure if that's bards or trader. She wouldn't talk to my toggy ranger in Plat though.
