Implementor Volgathras Posted June 14, 2013 Author Implementor Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Archimus' notes have been updated (6-15-2013). No one's discovered the next piece of the puzzle yet. Who will it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enethier Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 So not fair! Not sure why, but I assumed if Archimus needed anything from Brambus he would have just asked the bloke... Had me trying all sorts of Spyscope and Telescope combos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Implementor Volgathras Posted June 16, 2013 Author Implementor Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Archimus has revealed his research notes on the final piece of the puzzle. Built on the efforts of inventors before them, who will discover the next exciting item from the Q-A? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Implementor Volgathras Posted July 3, 2013 Author Implementor Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Congratulations to the players of Lyria and Myria for discovering the next great leap forward in death-dealing technology! The Iceborn Boomstick fires lead balls with great velocity by virtue of a controlled explosion to create fist-sized holes in... whatever you want fist-sized holes in, I suppose. But be warned, the explosions can be... volatile if used improperly. Stay tuned for Archimus' next great idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Implementor Volgathras Posted July 29, 2013 Author Implementor Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Ladies and gentlemen. Archimus would like to apologize for his recent silence. He was involved in some important research; research of a sensitive nature, which the halfling mayor would like to keep quiet. Because it involves.. sensitive... materials of a... sensitive nature which... are.. inadequately proportioned...? Regardless, the matter has been concluded, and as such Archimus is ready to return to the Q-A in search of more ground-breaking discoveries! Please take a look at the second post on the first page for notes on the most recent conundrum. (7/29/2013) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enethier Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Possibly the most frustrating thing about these is not having a 50 that can buy the 1 item that damn near everything needs. The item has no combat value whatsoever, so my hypothesis is that whoever discovers the item has their level attributed to it. Blast Salt: Discovered by Arthryn (50) and Lyria (30). Arthryn most likely figured it out first, so it became a level 50 item, and the bug was fixed so that two people couldnt discover the same item. Lyria's Stump: Lyria (30). Level 30 Item. an Iceborn Boomstick: Lyria told Myria (50) how to make it (because of not being able to buy blast salt). It is a level 50 item. This is a bit of a deterrence for anyone that is not at 50 to participate in the AAAA, and it seems unreasonable. I suggest making the non-combat items not require such a high level. Maybe that will lead to more people interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aulian Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 I just clicked onto what this was. I walked into there and was like wtf is this about but then I was focusing getting back into the game.. How FREAKING AMAZING. So keen to get involved!

Implementor Volgathras Posted August 17, 2013 Author Implementor Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 This is a reminder to all prospective inventors; Archimus' latest research material is still available, and the latest Q-A project still a mystery! Be the first to dsicover it's secrets, and have your name forever affixed to a part of Aabahran history (Like the Iceborn Boomstick!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Implementor Volgathras Posted September 18, 2013 Author Implementor Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Archimus latest puzzle is still waiting to be solved. As a reminder to all potential discoverers, his notes are reproduced below: ================================================================== Current Invention (7-11-2013) - ??? Name: Rastus deFraux Age: Approx. 215 Race: Elf TOD: Unknown, Approx. four days Condition: Victim was delivered in an advanced state of decomposition. It is clear the body had been left exposed for some time. Reports indicate that the surrounding environment where the body was found had experienced some trauma, assumably by small blunt objects. The state of the body confirms this suspicion, having been perforated in dozens of places by what appear to be small metal balls. Items this small must have been propelled with great speed and force in order to have caused the extensive wounds suffered by the victim. While cause of death is determined to be massive hemorrhage, the damage to the brain, internal organs and bones was so extensive it's unlikely the victim felt anything in the few moments it took him to die. Other findings of note; a black, powdery substance, melted copper, leather, some clockwork components were all discovered in, on or around the body. Correlation unknown. Victim: Rastus deFraux Race: Elf Age: Approx 215 Condition: Deceased Report: Eye-witness approached with location of body. Went to investigate. Found corpse and ruined area. Looks like explosion, but worse. Blood everywhere. Body ruined. Given to coroner for autopsy. Eye witness says Rastus chasing thief during incident. Heard a ticking, and music. Then boom. Arrived to find corpse. Eye-witnessed placed in to custody for further questioning. Archimus' journal: This fatal and fascinating contraption has had me boggled for quite some time. After several failed attempts (and costly relocations), I've managed to accrue the following tid-bits of knowledge... -A means of transport, similar to the means by which the comman man traverses, though with it's own automotive powers. Reports claim a rushing of wind can be heard when near the object. -Aside from the sound of howling winds, others claim music can be heard. Of course, an inanimate object cannot sing, so some contraption must be involved which produces music. -Two other items are clearly needed, both with destructive power. I have a feeling we of the Q-A should be fairly familiar with them, considering our former experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister E Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Is that image supposed to be visible on a normal scale? I saved it and opened it but when I tried to zoom in it was blurred like crazy. Can it be seen somewhere in game? edit: also im confused. Does every new invention use the parts from the previous invention? edit: Volg, are you not allowed to say if that image is supposed to be more clearly viewable?

P_body Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Is it possible to get a posting of all previous puzzles that are now solved? Like a journal you can check out of the Library or helpfiles or some such. That way we can at least have SOME idea of what's going on with these and where it's going. Otherwise, personally, I'm totally stumped. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKid Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I think I am clear on at least three of the items needed but the last eludes me greatly. Growl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Implementor Volgathras Posted September 23, 2014 Author Implementor Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Don't forget about the Q-A! Archimus' latest invention has yet to be uncovered, and with it not only the knowledge that you were the very first, but your very own legendary copy of the item you create!
