The Wiseman
The Wiseman is an NPC randomly encountered during exploration. When encountered, the player can choose to fight him, talk to him, or attempt to answer a trivia question. He is loosely based on Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings.
Options[]
Fight[]
When the option fight is chosen, the Wiseman will be attackable. He is one level above the player's level.
Talk[]
If the player chooses (by clicking accept) to talk to him, the player will get experience and coins.
Reactions (found from all social networks):
- You suddenly realized that you made a fool of yourself. The Wiseman found you entertaining and compensated for your time.
- You started talking to the Wiseman. However, you did not understand anything he is saying and did not know how to respond, so you just nodded your head... After a while you walked away, embarassed.
- Time has passed. The wise man reluctantly agrees with you, though you can tell that he didn't like your company much.
- Time has passed. You convinced the Wiseman that his thoughts were wrong. He was pleased with your company and compensated you for your time.
Which reaction you get depends on your intelligence stat. The more intelligence, usually the better the Reaction will be for you.
Trivia[]
By choosing the option Trivia you'll get a random question that you can answer. Answering it correctly yields you experience and coins.
The answers to many of the trivia questions can be found at http://pkl.net/~matt/moxfull.db, though searching on Google (or other search engines) is the method used by most players.
When the "hint" letters are in lower case, Wikipedia is considered the authority -- even if Wikipedia is wrong.
When the "catagory" is called "utterly stupid trivia" it's usually a riddle and can't be found in search engines. It's time to have an eight year old child handy, or kill off the Wiseman to teach him some wisdom again.
Skills[]
- Normal Attack (~ 100 - 300 damage)
- Knowledge (~ 250 - 600 damage)
- Book of Wisdom (~ 600 - 850 damage)
- Retreat Teleport
Quotes[]
"You dare to challenge me?"
