An exciting new visitor has come to Moorland. Speak to Jenna to see if she knows more.

A New Horse for May

Hey Rita! Have you heard that we’ve got a new horse at Moorland Stables?

The horse belongs to May’s cousin, but May’s promised to take care of him for a few days.

I’ve got no idea what May’s cousin is called… Oh, right, you mean what’s the horse’s name? Haha!

I’m afraid I don’t know that either. Sphinx? Nah. Blinks? Mm, nope. Jinx? Nah, I can’t remember.

What I do know is that he’s so cheeky and adorable! You and Summerblaze should stop by and say hello before he goes home again. Like I say, I don’t know how long he’ll be here, but talk to May. She knows more.

Objectives: Ask May about the new horse.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Speak to May by the stable and ask her about her adorable new guest.

OH NO! No, no, no!

What do you want? I haven’t got time to talk…

Quest completed

______________

Mind Your Hooves and Feet…

I’m sorry Rita…

I don’t mean to be mean, but it’s chaos here right now. Total chaos.

A new horse?

Mm, that’s right. Well, not so much new, more I’m just looking after my cousin’s horse Lynx for a few days.

Really though, I’d love to stay and chat but I’ve got a little… Well, actually a massive problem. The three horses that are usually here seem to have run away. Sigh.

Seriously though, you’re not gonna believe what happened. I’d just taken Lynx into the stable when something went wrong. I don’t know if he was scared or just was causing a fuss or whatever. In any case, he managed to freak the other horses out and in all the fuss, one of them kicked over a glass bowl that happened to be just lying around on the floor.

So not only do we have three runaway horses, but the whole place is covered in bits of glass! Great huh? Hmmm…

As luck would have it, Josh helped out. He took Lynx with him away from here so that I could get on with clearing up all the glass and look out for the other horses.

Why was there a glass bowl in the stable?

Well, yeah, that was my fault, I’d brought it with me to give it to Jenna. She saw it on a picture I uploaded to Jinstacam, and she fell in love with it.

Since I had two the same, I thought I could give her one of them. When Lynx arrived, I needed to put it down pretty fast and then there was all the distraction, so I didn’t have a chance to put it anywhere safe.

UGH! Why do I have to be so stupid?! I should’ve been more careful. I guess there’s not much I can do about it now though. The most important thing is to get rid of all this glass so that nobody hurts themselves.

You want to help?

Awwh, thanks so much! How lovely!

Take the brush over by the wall behind me and seep up the little shards of glass in the stable while I take care of the glass that got outside.

Be careful though, and make sure you and Summerblaze don’t cut yourselves. These little splinters of glass can be really sharp…

Objectives: Sweep up the glass on the floor in the stable and then talk to May.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Moorland Stable

Use the broom from your inventory to clean up the glass, then speak to May when you are finished.

Is all the glass in the stable gone now?

Thanks so much Rita!

Quest completed

______________

Runaway Stable Horses

How nice to have swept up all the bits of glass. Imagine getting one of them stuck in your foot! Ugh, I get the shivers just thinking about it.

Now we need to get the horses home as well; they can’t have got too far.

Aaaaa! Why do I have to be so clumsy, Rita?!

Sigh… Would you be able to ride out and look for them? You’ve already got Summerblaze all saddled and ready.

Thanks! Seriously, I owe you one for this.

Take these sugar lumps with you. Use them to get the runaway horses to follow you home.

Objectives: Use the sugar cubes to get the three runaway horses to follow you back to the stable, then report back to May.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Moorland Stable

Use the sugar from your inventory to get the horses to start walking, then walk with them back to the stable. When you have returned all three horses, speak to May.

Whew!

Great, now all the horses are back. Thanks ever so much for your help, you really saved the day!

Quest completed

______________

Hope There’s No Glass in Their Hooves!

Excellent! You found all the horses!

Sigh…

Of course, we need to check the horses’ hooves and make sure they didn’t pick up any glass in there. If they did, then they could get a pretty horrible injury…

I’m so nervous, I can hardly look. Rita, you seem to have remarkably sharp vision. Like a wonderful eagle. Could you please look at the hooves?

Thanks! I really, really, reaaaaally hope there’s nothing in there.

Here, take my hoof pick and brush, that way you can check them out nice and gently.

Objectives: Examine the horses’ hooves to see if any splinters of glass got stuck in them.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Moorland Stable

Dismount your horse to examine each of the horses in the stable. Report to May that one of horses did not escape unharmed.

One of the horses has glass in its hoof? Poor thing!

Quest completed

______________

Mrs Holdsworth’s Healing Ointment

Argh! I’m so annoyed with myself. I should’ve just given that bowl straight to Jenna or at least put it down in a safer place…

Ah well, what can we do? We’ll have to help the poor thing somehow.

…

I know! Mrs Holdsworth has a special ointment that’s almost magic!

I’ve used it before, you just rub it in where you’ve been injured and it helps ease any pain and stops infections! Helps the healing process, as well…

I’ve never used the ointment on a horse, but would you be able to ride over and ask her for some so we can give it a try?

Awesome, thanks Rita! While you’re off getting the ointment, I’ll look after this poor thing and clean out his hoof. It must be so painful for him…!

Objectives: Ask Mrs Holdsworth for some of her ointment.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Mrs Holdsworth has all the best recipes!

Good day Rita!

You need ointment, you say?

Quest completed

______________

Herbs Growing by the Shoreline

Oh no! What’s that you say? One of the horses at the stable has stepped on a glass splinter? Poor thing.

Yes, I do have a recipe for a healing ointment! If you help me get the ingredients together, I can make a batch for you.

I don’t have the recipe to hand, but if I remember rightly, we’ll need beach crocuses.

The beach crocus grows by the water and has small, pretty pink flowers.

Ride down to the beach behind my house and take a look there.

If you get started with the flowers, I’ll look for the recipe and see what else we need.

Objectives: Find three beach crocuses and take them with you to Mrs Holdsworth.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Flower delivery service, on its way!

Good job, you found three beach crocuses.

They’re not easy to find, I know. Sometimes it’s taken me hours to find just one.

Quest completed

______________

Dandelion Juice Sets Your Powers Loose!

While you were away, I found the recipe for the ointment May asked for. My grandma wrote it down for me after I managed to cut myself on a sharp rock when I was swimming in the lake. That was a while ago now though, haha!

Nope! Enough old memories, now let’s get to work. We’ve got beach crocuses, so what else do we need now?

Hmm…

Dandelions! We need dandelions!

Could you get some dandelions? We need dandelions! Dandelions Rita! While you get the dandelions, I’ll prepare these beach crocuses.

Objectives: Gather seven dandelions for Mrs Holdsworth.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Moorland Stable

Ride around Mrs Holdsworth’s house and collect the dandelion flowers that you find, then return to her when you have found enough of them.

That was fast! Now I just need to make up the ointment.

It could take a while, but I know it’s urgent and that May needs it as soon as possible. If you just hold on a little while…

Quest completed

______________

Healing Ointment for May

So, the ointment is finished!

Take it to May and let her know that she should clean the hoof thoroughly before applying the ointment, otherwise it won’t work properly.

Objectives: Give Mrs Holdsworth’s ointment to May.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Return to May with the ointment.

Rita!!

Quest completed

______________

Check on Lynx

Awesome! Now I can take care of this little sickie right here.

Thanks for all your help, Rita. It was total chaos for real, and you helped. All because Lynx was…

LYNX!! I totally forgot about him! This is really unlike me.

I need to get to Josh! He was so kind to offer to look after Lynx and now I’ve just taken advantage. I should go and see him right now but I’ve got to stay here and take here of this poor fella with his poorly hoof…

Please, Rita, couldn’t you go to Josh and get Lynx? Conrad Marsdeen the blacksmith has promised to reshoe Lynx for me, so it’d be awesome if you could take him there afterwards. Please? It’d be incredible if you could…

Nice! Thanks so much! I seriously owe you one after all this. Haha!

Objectives: Talk to Josh.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Speak to Josh by his pole bending course outside the stable.

It’s great you came Rita. I hear May doesn’t have much time, she’s always got so much to do.

In any case, here’s the horse everyone’s talking about! Rita, allow me to introduce Lynx!

Quest completed

______________

Lynx for New Shoes

Isn’t he handsome? Haha, a truly proud and cheeky fella, this one!

I guess May told you what happened? Glass and horses everywhere! That’s why I took Lynx here.

In any case, I guess May’s busy and asked you to take Lynx to the blacksmith?

Cool! I’d totally have helped out, but I’ve got a few other things I need to be getting on with today.

Never mind, Lynx needs new shoes and the smith has promised to fix him up. Now I’ll leave Lynx to you, so you can take him over to Conrad.

We can chat a little more some other time, I hope! Good luck!

Objectives: Take Lynx to Conrad Marsdeen, the Moorland Blacksmith

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Moorland Stable

Ride along with Lynx over to Conrad’s forge.

Good day to you Rita!

Who’s this handsome fellow? is it Lynx?

Quest completed

______________

A Loaded Packhorse

May told me about Lynx. Apparently he needs new shoes, and of course I’m happy to help her fix him up!

Oh, you’d like to help too? Well, Rita, that’s just lovely of you!

According to May, Lynx is a lovely hose with a little bit of a naughty side, so it’s best I keep an eye on him. I hope it won’t be too much trouble getting his shoes on.

Hmm… That’ll have to be something I worry about later.

But since you want to help, you could do me a favor and ride over to get two sacks: those ones that are lying over by the wall there…? They’re pretty heavy so be careful as you lift them. Once you’ve got them, you can drop them off here in front of the house.

Thanks ever so much!

Objectives: Fetch two sacks from the pile by the wall, and place them outside the blacksmith’s house, then chat to him.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Moorland Stable

The sacks are so heavy that you can only carry one at a time, so you will have to make two trips to collect both of them near the house. When you have both sacks set down, speak to Conrad again.

Thanks so much Rita!

It’s been great you’ve been able to help me.

Quest completed

______________

Wisecracker…

Lynx is clearly a bit of a wisecracker…

Ha! I’ve got my eye on you now, Lynx!

I left him on his own for just a few seconds and you can guess what this joker did in the meantime…

First he picked up my box of nails, and luckily he didn’t eat any up, so you don’t need to worry about that.

After he picked up the box, he followed me. The whole time he was shaking his head so that the nails flew all over the place.

It wasn’t long before I caught on to what he was doing, but it was already too late, so now there are nails left, right, and center, spread out all over the ground.

Would you be able to help me gather them all up, Rita? We can’t leave them lying around… Imagine if some poor horse just trampled on one?!

Objectives: Collect all the nails Lynx spread out, then return to the smith.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Moorland Stable

Someone needs to teach this horse some manners!

Did you find all the nails?

Thank you ever so much Rita! Now we don’t need to worry about anybody stepping on them and getting hurt.

Quest completed

______________

Waiting for New Shoes

Would you be able to ride to May and tell her that I’m busy with the shoes and that I’ll take Lynx back when he’s shoed?

Thanks!

Objectives: Talk to May.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Return to May and tell her that Lynx is being taken care of.

Thanks for all your help today!

Seems like it’ll be a while before the shoes are finished, so you can go take it easy. Come back tomorrow if you’d like to see Lynx again.

Quest completed

Return to May tomorrow.

Speak to Big Bonny — er, Herman — by her house in Silverglade, to see how you can help her fix the clock.

Tools for Repair

Hello Rita.

Now. I’ve been up into the clock tower and taken a little look at the machinery. It’s possible to fix it, in fact for a champion such as myself, nothing is impossible. But just because it’s possible doesn’t mean it’s easy. There’s just one tiny little snag…

When I fled Silverglade Village, I was so angry with myself that I threw all of my tools into the fountain. I forgot that I’d done that. I need them though, otherwise I can’t do anything about that broken clock!

I don’t dare to move an inch outside my door, imagine what would happen if someone recognized me?! You though, my petal, have freedom to roam about unchallenged; nobody suspects you of anything… Ride over to the fountain and collect my precious tools. Ride! Hurry!

Objectives: Find the Clockmaker’s tools in the Silverglade Village fountain.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Ride down to the fountain the the middle of the town square and fish out the tools. Return to Bonny when you have all of them.

Ooohh, Rita! My tools! My precious tools! Thank you so mu… But… They’re totally ruined! Oh my goldfish, why?! Why does this kind of baloney always happen to me?! MEEEE?!

WHYYY MEEEEEEEEE?!

WHHHHHYYYYYYYY… Cough… Cough…

(You thump Big Bonny on the back.)

Quest completed

______________

Oiling Up the Mechanisms

Even if my tools were repaired, it still would count for nothing. We need oil to lubricate the mechanisms. Actually, quite a lot of oil since it’s stood still for all these years. Who would even have any oil around these parts anyway? Nobody. No chance. Nobody, say I!

What? Steve? Oh yeah, he’s probably got oil.

But even so, dear Rita! It’s still a road to nowhere! It’ll never work! It’s a pathway to defeat! A highway to fiasco!

You want to try anyway? Sigh. Go right ahead if you want to fribble away your time. Here’s an empty oil bottle. Go and talk to Steve if you like…

Objectives: Ask Steve for oil.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

Ride out to Steve’s farm and ask him if he has any oil you can spare.

Oil? Why, yes I do indeed have some black gold right here!

Quest completed

______________

Topping Up the Oil

Y’know there’s oil in that there tank, right Rita?

Hmm? You think it’s diesel? Meh, it’s not that big a difference. One thing you should know about my diesel is that it’s particularly oily diesel, so it’ll work just as well. Trust me! Believe in Steve!

All you need to do is take your bottle and fill it on up. I’m sure you can do that yourself.

Objectives: Fill up the oil from the tank at Steve’s farm.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Village

Ride over to the large green tank on the outside of the stable building, behind where the for sale Friesians are located. Use the oil can from your inventory, then speak to Steve when you have filled it up.

So there you go! Now you’ve got a full bottle of oil. Or diesel. Or, well, yeah. Diesel oil…

Quest completed

______________

Back to the Clockmaker with the Diesel Oil

And so you have a full bottle of diesel oil, Rita. Hope it’ll be of use! Take care, see ya!

Objectives: Ride back to Big Bonny with the oil.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Check that crisis off our list!

Pfff…

Hmm? You’ve filled the bottle with oil? Ooh! Excellent! Maybe there’s a chance the winds of luck could change after all!

Quest completed

______________

Tools Need to Be Repaired

Ugh, what a disaster… Just as I thought I was going to be able to return to my regular old life, the wicked fingers of chance crush my dreams like crumbly little cookies. How can life be so hideous and unkind?! My tools are destroyed!

If they can be repaired? Never. Impossible. How would that even work?! It’s over now, Rita. It’s all over. Just let me slither back into that sack and you can take me back to the silo.

Sniffle…

Hmm? You want to give a go at repairing the tools?

That’ll only work when pigs fly, my treasure. Useless idea.

What’s that? You have friends who can help you? The blacksmith? Meh, he’s very good, but not even his wonderful, skilled hands could work the kind of magic we need here.

Meh. Nope. Things can’t get any worse than they are now, so it doesn’t matter whether you give it a try or not. You may as well, but don’t be surprised if it doesn’t work out…

Objectives: Go to the blacksmith with the Clockmaker’s tools.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Village

Ride to Conrad in Moorland and ask him if he can fix the tools.

Greetings to you, Rita. Might I help you with something?

Quest completed

______________

The Blacksmith’s Toughest Job

Repair the Clockmaker’s tools?

These little bundles of nothing aren’t really something I’d usually take a second look at, but because it’s you and you’re asking so nicely, I can make an exception. Anything for my friend Rita…

It’s not a simple project you’re asking me to work on. In fact, it’s probably the toughest thing you could ask a blacksmith to do, even a blacksmith as experienced as I.

In order for me to even begin work on this mighty undertaking, I’ll need your help. You need to find a special type of iron from the heart of Garnok, deep, deep, down in the volcano which sprayed death and destruction all over Jorvik. It’s a perilous journey, full of danger… You’ll be away from the safe embrace of Jorvik for quite some time.

Worry not, little Rita, I’ll help you. In that box over there by the house, there’s a tent you can borrow for the journey. Fetch it and I can tell you more.

Objectives: Fetch the tent and talk to the blacksmith again.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade

A tent: the most important of travel provisions.

Excellent, you’ve got the tent. Good. Now, listen carefully…

Your journey to the heart of Garnok is going to take at least a month, and during that time, you’re not going to be able to see any of your friends or your horses. Horses are forbidden where you’re going, so you’re going to have to leave Summerblaze behind as well. A whole month without your friends or horses. It’s a serious sacrifice but I’m happy I can rely on you to see it through.

So, Rita… Are you ready to start your journey?

Quest completed

______________

Journey to the Heart of Garnok

Hahaha!

Heeheeheeeee!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I was just joking, Rita! Pulling your leg! Rattling your cage! What a completely world-class joke! I don’t just forge the best tools, I forge the best jokes as well! Pffahahahahahaha!!

Those tools were so easy to repair that I managed to fix the whole lot while you were rummaging around in that box over there.

Heeeeeeeeheeheehee!! What a totally outrageous joke I just released upon you. This joke is going to be talked about by my children… And my children’s children… And my children’s children’s children! In a hundred years, they’ll still be talking about the funniest joke in the history of all Jorvik!

Here are the tools, Rita. Give them to your friend the Clockmaker.

Objectives: Ride back to Big Bonny with the newly-repaired tools.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

Who knew stuffy old Conrad had a sense of humor? And a vain one at that…

Big Bonny will be happy to have her tools fixed.

Sigh. It all came to nothing, didn’t it? Just as I predicted, a total disaster. Another disappointment. Another tragic chapter in my heartbreaking story.

If I want to see the tools? Pff. Nah. What difference would it make?

What…? Wait…! They look like new! Have I been released from the claws of fate? Have the winds of my destiny finally changed?!

Quest completed

______________

Master Clockmaker’s Apprentice

Now maybe there’s a chance for us after all Rita! Now the hour is upon us. We’re going to try to repair the clock!

It’s a very serious defect and if I wasn’t such a master clockmaker, I would probably have been forced to give up. But don’t be afraid, young Rita! I shall give you all the knowledge you need to repair it!

Why am I not doing it myself? Well, I’m sure you understand that it was a deeply troubling and emotional experience for me to come back to the scene of my own personal apocalypse, and I genuinely don’t believe I’ll ever be able to go there again. I was about to faint and fall down while I was up there! That could easily have been the end for me… Plummeting to an early grave.

I can’t go back. I won’t go back. And I can’t go back. I’d like very much for you to help me with this, Rita. Not for my sake, but for the sake of the sweet, sweet villagers! Don’t leave them high and dry, forced to live every day in a meaningless, clockless life.

You’ll help me? Miraculously marvelous!

Now I’m going to tell you exactly what you need to do. The most important thing is that you carry out the steps in the right order. If you do it right, the clock will tick once more! If you do it wrong, then you just need to cross your fingers you’ve not flubbed and fumbled it too badly and come back to me so you can have another try.

Here’s what you need to do:

Step 1. Use the wrench on the wheel by the clock face.

Step 2. Pour oil into the big funnel.

Step 3. Use the clock winding key to wind up the spring.

Step 4. Pull the lever to start the clock.

Step 5. Cross your fingers!

Step 6. There are no more steps.

Good luck!

Objectives: Repair the clock like this:

Step 1. Use the wrench on the wheel by the clock face.

Step 2. Pour oil into the big funnel.

Step 3. Use the clock winding key to wind up the spring.

Step 4. Pull the lever to start the clock.

Step 5. Cross your fingers!

Step 6. There are no more steps.

Rewards: 100 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 75 with Silverglade Village

Dismount your horse to enter the clock tower. If you forget the order of the steps, be sure to check your quest log to view the quest dialogue again. If you are not sure which item to use, click on the sparkles to tell you what to use.

The wheel for the wrench is at the middle of the tower, up two stairs from the entrance.

The funnel is at the very top of the tower, up three stairs from the wheel.

The spring is also at the middle of the tower, down two stairs from the funnel.

The lever is on the same level as the funnel, up two stairs from the spring.

When you and fixed the clock, return to Big Bonny.

You’ve repaired the clock!

Hooray!

I’ve repaired the clock!!

HOORAY FOR ME!!

I’m a hero! A solid gold hero!

I shan’t forget you, Rita. When I’m awarded a medal – a medal of amazingness – I’ll give you a special mention in my acceptance speech!

Quest completed

______________

Give the Council Man the Fantastic News!

Now, not to be too much of a big brash smartypants, but I do rather believe that now I’ll get both the medal and probably some flowers from the Council Man. Maybe he’ll even organize a parade or festival in my honor! I’m pretty certain he’ll be doing that. I can see it now… “Carnival á la Big Bonny!” Ohhhh, today is a wonderful, marvelous, magnificent day, my little Rita. Come on, let’s go!

Objectives: Meet Big Bonny at the Council Man’s place in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

I’m sure the Council Man will be just ecstatic. He’ll jump for joy!

Oh, hello. Clockmaker Big Bonny… Not seen you for a while.

______________

An Unexpected Anticlimax

Well, well, Big Bonny! Nice to see you again.

Listen, while you’re here, do you think you could have a look at that broken clock? Nice one.

Hmm? Oh, it’s fixed already. Neat.

Yep, well, excellent. Thanks for that. Now, you’ll have to excuse me, I’ve got lots to be getting on with. Bye.

Objectives: Tell Big Bonny what the Council Man said.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Tell Big Bonny what the Council Man said of her return.

Wh… What did he say?

Sniffle…

______________

An Inconsolable Clockmaker

So, nobody’s even noticed that I’ve been away for five years.

This is horrendous.

I’m worthless. A little, meaningless insect. An ant. A louse. A tiny beetle.

I’m a pointless little cockroach!

Sniffle, sniffle…

…

Excuse me Rita, I have to return to the silo and live out the rest of my pointless cockroachy days in sorrow and loneliness…

Objectives. Talk to the Council Man again.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 45 with Silverglade Village

Tell the Council Man that Big Bonny is upset.

Hi Rita, can I help you with something?

Why does Big Bonny look so sad? What’s happened?

What? Cockroach? Oh, now I understand. So she’s lived in exile for years because she made a mistake that she thought would destroy the whole village? Now she’s repaired the broken clock and thought she’d be carried through the streets in celebration?

How should we go about fixing this Rita? Everyone has wristwatches and cellphones these days, there’s nobody who really needs the Town Hall clock, it’s mostly just nice to look at. Hmm… Well we have to try and get Big Bonny in a better word, don’t we Rita? Let me have another word with her.

Quest completed

______________

An Unbelievably Unbelievable Job

Clockmaker Big Bonny? Please do excuse my earlier performance.

You see, without the Town Hall clock to wake me every morning, I’ve slept so badly recently that I’ve basically turned into a zombie. I think that’s why my reaction earlier was so, umm… Casual. Now the news has had a chance to sink into my head. Not as sharp as I used to be, you see.

What you have done is totally wonderful!

Just think, when you left town we were so completely furious and thoroughly disappointed in you, and we just couldn’t understand how you could have left us with a broken clock. But after some time, we began to understand what a terribly difficult job you had, especially after each and everyone of us tried to get up there and fix the clock, each one of us failing horribly! Now you’re back, and in less than a day you’ve got everything fixed. You’re a true hero!

As a thank you for your efforts, I hereby declare you Silverglade Clockmaker of the highest order!

Clockmaker Big Bonny, thank you again! Please never leave the village again! We couldn’t survive without you!

Objectives: Talk to Big Bonny.

Rewards: 200 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP, Clockmaker’s Waistcoat

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Village

Big Bonny finally gets the recognition she expected!

Oh, Rita I absolutely knew it! Not to be big-headed, but like he said: without me, the village would never survive.

That’s decided: I’ll never leave the village again. Never ever!

Thank you for all your help Rita!

Here’s a lovely little thing for you as a token of my gratitude. Now, I have to get myself home again, because as I’m sure you understand, there’s quite a lot of cleaning to do after five years in exile! Come and visit me should you ever find the time. Goodbye!

Conrad has finished making a key to the gate.

The Key is Ready

There Rita, the key is ready. We can’t be certain it will work as it isn’t exactly easy to make a copy of a key from picture. The key has brittle pieces that can break off or possibly ruin the lock permanently… But that is a risk we’ll have to take.

Do I know anything about Goldenhills Valley? Yes, I do and I’m happy to tell you about it.

Objectives: Speak with Conrad.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 35 with Keepers of Aideen

Conrad will tell you more about Goldenhills Valley.

Goldenhills Valley is a very special place. It isn’t just a myth that snow spirits and other dangerous creatures sneak around over there during the winters… That is why they lock the gate. For the last few years it has been relatively safe, but we have carefully guarded the area just to be sure.

In the eastern part of the valley, there is a cottage and a crop owned by Justin’s grandfather. That’s right, old Jasper that you met before.

Farther down in the western part of the valley you will find Cape West fishing village… There is a very nice barn there for your horse around there. I’ve never been there myself, but I’m sure you will find some nice friends to get into some new trouble with there.

The Southern Gate

Okay then Rita! Time to start your trip to Goldenhills Valley and good luck. I hope you find the Mayor there and find out why the gate was never opened this year. Remember that we can’t be sure that the key will work. It looks good for about three tries… Come back here if it doesn’t work.

Try to be careful over there.

Objectives: Unlock the Southern Gate that is directly north of the Baroness’s riding arena.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 70 XP

Reputation: 75 with The Goldenleaves

Ride to the gate and use the key. It will take a couple of tries to get the gate open.

“The key broke! But the lock opened! The gate is open and Goldenhills Valley lies open before you…”

Quest completed

Now with the gate open, let’s go see what Jasper has been up to on his pumpkin farm.

The Pacifist Pumpkin Grower

Rita! Welcome to Eastglade’s pumpkin farm! Finally we get to see you again. I can’t thank you enough for freeing me from all the hate and bitterness I carried around with me for twenty years! Completely without reason, it turns out. But now I finally get a chance to be happy! I can finally pursue my biggest dream; to grow pumpkins! But I bet you are wondering what I am doing here in Goldenhills Valley?

Objectives: Speak with Jasper.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

Jasper will tell you more about his life on the pumpkin farm.

You see, Rita, since you freed me from my hate I no longer needed to stand and guard my fence anymore against my neighbor. Completely thanks to you!

So, this is my pumpkin farm, that is unfortunately a bit run-down and neglected… As I haven’t really been here for about twenty years. Now that I am finally here again it is time to clean it up and start growing the best and tastiest pumpkins in Jorvik!

Quest completed

Things to Do at the Pumpkin Farm

There are a lot of exciting things to get started on here at my far. If you have time, of course. Of course if you help me then I’ll have some extra time… And then I can set up transporters in the area for you and your horse. Back and forth from the fishing village, for example. What needs to be done isn’t just work… It has a bit of fun in it too! I have some exciting riding trails that need to be set up and tested. I’ll also pay you a bit more than they normally pay for farm work too. What do you say?

Objectives: Speak with Jasper.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Jasper will be happy to have your help.

That’s great that you will help out a little here! I’m so happy!

Quest completed

______________

Broken Sprinklers

Darn it! The sprinkler system isn’t working. I strongly suspect it is because there are so many holes in the hoses as they have been unused for so many years. With so any holes no water is making it to the actual sprinklers.

Take this waterproofing tape and fix the hoses and we’ll see if that gets the sprinklers going.

Objectives: Use the tape to fix the holes in the hoses in the pumpkin field.

Rewards: 65 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

Wouldn’t it just be easier to get new hoses?

When you are done taping up the hose, return to Jasper.

That certainly did the trick! Now the sprinklers are working great! Well done Rita!

Quest completed

______________

Check the Horse Jumps

The riding track around my pumpkin farm has fallen apart during the years I have been away. Can you have a look and see which fences are dangerous and need to be repaired or replaced? I’ve marked them on your map so you can find them easier. Come back to me and let me know how it looks.

Objectives: Inspect the horse jumps and report back to Jasper. The locations of the jumps are marked on your map.

Rewards: 65 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

To inspect the jumps, all you have to do is approach them. Once you have inspected all four jumps, return to Jasper.

Aha… So all of the horse jumps are broken? Understandable after this amount of time. I built those fences over twenty years ago thinking that Justin would get to learn to jump here. It didn’t turn out that way… But now the riding trail can start to be used again by you and your friends…

Quest completed

______________

Ghost Dust

As I’m sure you know, we use pumpkins for the big annual Halloween festival. People carve scary and fun faces into the pumpkins, put lights in them, and have them as decorations. According to tradition, the pumpkins keep evil spirits away from your home.

I have found a way to make them more… How should I put it… Ghost-like? As the pumpkins are growing, I fertilize them with ghost dust!

Ghost dust is left behind in the glittering trails the snow spirits leave as they pass through here in the winter. Ghost dust is spread all over the grasslands here in Goldenhills Valley, so it’s pretty easy to find.

Find a bunch of ghost dust and spread it over the pumpkins. Come back to me when you are done.

Objectives: Look for small piles of ghost dust in the grasslands around Jasper’s pumpkin farm. When you have found four piles, use them on the pumpkins in the pumpkin field, then return to Jasper.

Rewards: 65 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

The ghost dust can be found in the gully across the road from the farm, as well as up on the hill to the north of the farm.

Collect four piles of it, put it on the marked pumpkins in the field, then return to Jasper.

Ho ho! That’s great! That should do the trick. We won’t get to enjoy the results for a long, long time… Pumpkins take a long time to grow.

The Riding Woodsman

Aha, the old jumps should be repairable, but we will be needing more wood. Maybe you have seen the four old trees that have died around the house? Take my saw that is on the porch steps and cut down the four dead trees. Then you can pull them back here with your strong horse.

Objectives: Take Jasper’s saw that is on the porch steps. Use the saw to cut down the four dead trees around the house. Bring the logs back to Jasper.

Rewards: 65 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 15 with The Goldenleaves

You have to be dismounted to use the saw. Once the tree is felled, click on it to pick up the log, and it will be placed on the back of your horse. When you have collected the logs from the four trees, return to Jasper.

Not bad! You and your horse are really quite strong. Maybe you should be a lumberjack?

Quest completed

______________

Fix the Old Horse Jumps

Take the logs and fix up the old horse jumps. With a bit of work they should be usable again.

Objectives: Repair the four broken horse jumps using the four old logs.

Rewards: 65 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 15 with The Goldenleaves

Take the logs to each of the jumps to repair them. Once all of the jumps are repaired, return to Jasper.

Great, Rita. Now the jumps aren’t dangerous anymore and they should work fine. Maybe it is time for a test run?

Quest completed

______________

Test Jasper’s Old Riding Trail

I built it for Justin, at that time I still hoped I would get to be a real grandfather. Oh well, now you and your friends can get some use out of it instead. Justin just vanished like the wind… I really wonder where he is…

Try out my old riding trail and see how well it goes with the new jumps.

Objectives: Test Jasper’s old riding trail.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 40 with The Goldenleaves

Run the race. When you are done, speak with Jasper.

That looked pretty exciting, I have to say. You are really quite a good rider. Maybe this track is a bit to easy and short for someone like you… But I think it probably has potential!

Quest completed

______________

Pumpkin Cleaning

While you were testing the riding trail, I was having a look over at my pumpkin field. I saw that some of my pumpkins have gone bad… Gotten old. Can you help me get rid of the bad pumpkins?

I can see at least six of them that need to go. After we get rid of the bad ones, I think we can try and fix up my old horse transporter.

Objectives: Clear away the bad pumpkins from Jasper’s pumpkinfield.

Rewards: 65 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with The Goldenleaves

You’ve been a very, very bad pumpkin. Shame on you…

Go into the field and click to remove the pumpkins gone bad. When you are done, return to Jasper.

Thank you. Sometimes a few of the pumpkins go bad… And then it is best best to get rid of them to leave room for the ones that are growing well.

Quest completed

______________

Where are the Wolves?

There are things happening here Rita! I have found out that there is a pack of wolves that are aggressive with people in the area north of Eastglade. The wolves are normally not dangerous to people, but if there is a pack of them, you can be sure they will be a little more brave and perhaps scare people away if people intrude on their territory.

Can you ride up to Shadowy Hills just northwest of here? You only need to follow the road north towards the Norther Gate.

See if you can find any wolves and report back your findings to me please.

Objectives: Ride around in Shadowy Hills, just northwest of Eastglade, and search for a pack of wolves. Report back to Jasper.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

Ride the road north until you find the wolves. When you do, return to Jasper.

You found a pack of wolves there? Well… That isn’t so good.

Quest completed

______________

Serious Warning!

Okay then… This is what we are going to do. We’ll start off by warning the other riders so they won’t be frightened if they meet the wolf pack out riding. I understand they have only put up a couple warning signs… Which really isn’t enough. We need to do better. Here, take these four signs and put them up on the places I will mark on your map. These are some really good signs! Come back and check in with me when you are done.

Objectives: Put the signs on the places marked on your map. Speak with Jasper when you are finished.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

Ride back up by the wolves and place the four signs. Then return to Jasper.

Okay then… We’ve done everything we can to warn people on the road about the wolves.

Quest completed

______________

Dog or Wolf, Does it Matter?

The wolves would certainly stop threatening people if there was something to make them happy somewhere else. Aha, I think Linn in the riding arena has dog treats that she uses training her dog, Techno. Sure, why not? I’m sure that dog treats will be just as good for wolves. You should go and see if she has dog treats to lure away the wolves.

Objectives: Ride over to the riding arena and ask Linn about dog treats.

Rewards: 35 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

To the riding arena we go!

Hey Rita! Have you beaten the record at the jumping course yet? Maybe it is time for you to try again?

You wanted to ask me about dog treats?

Quest completed

______________

Hungry As a Wolf

I have lots of dog treats! People give Techno so many treats that I have to take most of them away so that he doesn’t get a stomach ache! Here is a big bag that should definitely be enough for a whole pack of wolves.

Give one to a wolf that doesn’t seem too angry and see how it reacts, I think it will probably work quite well. If not we can hope that Summerblaze can ride away quickly…

Objectives: Give a dog treat to a wolf in Shadowy Hills.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

Ride back up to Shadowy Hill, and give a treat to the wolf standing on the road.

Ho ho! That was brave and well done, Rita. So the wolves seemed a little less dangerous after it was fed?

Return to Jasper tomorrow.

The Mystery of the Southern Iron Gate

You wonder why the gate stayed locked, even after the winter was over? I also wondered that myself. I’ve seen all the riders gathered outside the gate who wanted to ride into Goldenhills Valley. There were also a lot of transports that had to turn back. What a mess that was.

But I know who you should ask about it… And that would be Mayor Klaus in Cape West Fishing Village. Klaus is responsible for the Key to the City that opens the gate. You’ll find your way to him by riding as far west as possible. Follow the Golden Road, but don’t ride into Goldenleaf Forest. It is tough to find a way out of the west end of the forest.

Objectives: Follow the Golden Road west to Cape West Fishing Village and find Mayor Klaus.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 60 XP

Reputation: 50 with The Goldenleaves

Following the road into the village, cross the big bridge and go straight up the stairs into the center of the village. You will find Klaus standing there.

Good day rider! You look like you have ridden a long way! If you need a stall for your horse, you’ll need to go to Goldenleaf Stables. It is on the little island north of town. Just follow the bridge out to the north.

Oh? You came from Silverglade? That must have been terrible. I bet people over there have wondered why the gate has been closed. Unfortunately there is an easy explanation… Let me tell you about it.

Quest completed

______________

Klaus’s Explanation

So this is what happened. In the winter I always store the Key to the City in an iron-bound chest that I keep under my bed. As you know we keep the gate locked n the wintertime to keep the winter spirits out of Silverglade so they don’t scare anyone down there. They are actually quite dangerous and frightening. Every spring we unlock the gate again… But this year… The key was GONE!

Objectives: Speak with Mayor Klaus.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

Klaus will tell you more about what happened.

One day I suddenly noticed that the chest was missing, and had been stolen! The only clue I could find was shoe prints the thief left behind in their hurry. The really strange thing about it was there were only shoe prints from a left shoe. No right foot prints at all! Very strange.

Quest completed

______________

Along the Missing Tracks

We found the same footprint from a left shoe along the beach south of the bridge to the mainland. We tried to follow the prints to look for more clues in the Labyrinth Shore but we didn’t find any and the prints ended at the edge of the sand. It is easy to get lost there just so you know, so it is possible we missed something.

If you can, it would be great if you could have a look and see if you find anything… But I’m worried it is pointless.

Objectives: Look for the clues along the southern beach and in the Labyrinth Shore, right beside the bridge to the mainland. If you find anything, tell Mayor Klaus.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 25 with The Goldenleaves

Take the bridge out of the village, and turn to the right to go down onto the beach. The footprints are down on that beach. Follow them along the beach and into the trail through the water. When you have found a clue, return to Mayor Klaus.

But really? That’s not bad! That is my chest… But it has been emptied… And of course the Key to the City is gone.

Quest completed

______________

Even Farther Away

But this shows that the thief may have gone farther away than the Labyrinth Shore. Maybe you should look farther down the beach to see if you can find any other clues.

Objectives: Continue looking along the coast for more clues.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

Return to where you found the chest, then continue on the water trail through Labyrinth Shore, until you reach the cave under Scarecrow Hill.

Ho ho! Even more surprises! What is this now? A little land crab in our secret cave!

Quest completed

______________

In a Pinch with the Smuggler Boss

Hrmm… What should we do with you? We can’t just let you go… As this is our secret smuggling cave and we don’t really want anyone else to find it. While we are quite obviously criminals… We aren’t the kind that kidnaps people, as a general rule…

Objectives: Speak with the master smuggler.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 60 XP

Reputation: 20 with The Goldenleaves

Find a way to talk yourself out of this one…

Well, it was the idea to steal the key so we could make more money smuggling things through the gate during the winter… When the gate is normally closed. We did make quite a bit of money using that secret route in the winter. It was wrong of us to take the key though… And it is only right the key should be given back to the rightful owner.

Quest completed

______________

Return the Key to the City

Here is the Key to the City. Now you can give it back to the Mayor on the condition you don’t give us away or tell them about our hideout.

Hopefully we won’t be seeing each other again, right Miss?

Objectives: Give the key to the city to Mayor Klaus.

Rewards: 100 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 100 with The Goldenleaves

Ride back through Labyrinth Shore, and take the key back to Mayor Klaus.

The key! How fantastic! Thank you for finding and returning this really important key!

Quest completed

______________

How Did You Get the Key Back?

It is fantastic that the key is back… I am so happy to see it again… But can I ask one question?

Objectives: Speak with the Mayor.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 35 with The Goldenleaves

Time to use your sweet-talkin’ skills again! Give a good explanation without giving away the smugglers.

So now I know how it happened, Rita. I hope you enjoy our little fishing village. We are glad you came to visit us here. Make yourself at home!

Quest completed

______________

Ask the Local Stables?

Is there a stables here on the coast? Of course there is. I’m sure you have noticed that Jorvik is full of stables and we are not so uncivilized as to not have one of our own. Everyone on Jorvik loves horses… And our stables are the best in Goldenhills Valley. Maybe the others are just as nice, but we are just so proud of our Goldenleaf Stables!

If you ride up to the north, you’ll find the long bridge that we call Longbridge. If you ride over the bridge, you’ll come to Goldenleaf Stables. Don’t forget to say hello from me to the owner. Her name is Carin.

Objectives: Ride north and cross over the long bridge to get to Goldenleaf Stables.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Welcome to Goldenleaf Stables!

Welcome to Goldenleaf Stables! We are a small and friendly stable that everyone should feel welcome at. Here you can join in our competitions and help out with daily chores. There is always a lot to do in the horse barn and any help you can give us would be greatly appreciated… And of course you will be paid too!

But first I should tell you a little bit about Goldenleaf Stables.

Objectives: Listen to Carin.

Reputation: 50 with The Goldenleaves

Carin will tell you more about the history of the area.

Goldenleaf Stables is a very, very old stables that was founded a long time ago and used to breed and raise warhorses for the old Jorvik Navy. It is hard to believe but Cape West Fishing Village used to be a powerful fort that guarded the route and protected trade ships from pirates and other enemies.

Things are a little different nowadays. We are a lot more peaceful and love to have visitors and host travelers. We haven’t had many visitors this spring after the long winter so all news of the world outside is very welcome…

It is good to know that our stables and the famous Jorvik stables farther south are the farthest west stables on Jorvik.

Quest completed

______________

Keep the Coast Clean

I need to ask you for some help Rita. Unfortunately a lot of garbage has been floating in from the ocean. It has been washing up on our beautiful beaches. Not only is it ugly but it is dangerous for the horses riding along that beach at full speed.

Please help collect the garbage along the beach and come back to me… We’re happy to pay you to help!

Objectives: Collect garbage from along the beach on the west coast. Tell Carin when you are finished.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Go back out to the beach near the Longbridge, and pick up the trash along the way. When you have picked up all the trash, return to Carin.

Thank you Rita. More and more garbage washes up on the island every day… So unfortunately this won’t be the last time we’ll need help with this.

Quest completed

______________

Hang Up Lifesavers

Here on the island we don’t just care of horses… We also want to make sure that the people can also feel safe. There are lots of people who like to swim out from our beautiful beaches but the currents are strong and can be dangerous. I have just received the lifesavers I ordered from Fort Pinta. Can you hang these two on the docks that are on the west side of the island?

The Lost Wallet

Now I need your help again Rita. Can you help look for a wallet that Ewa lost when she was out inspecting our racing track? Ewa is in charge of our competitions here at the stables, she would be really happy if anyone could find her wallet. She suspects she lost it in the middle of the grove just north of our paddock. If you find it please return it to Ewa.

Oh, thank you! So kind of you! I’m so happy!

Quest completed

______________

Is the Race Track Usable?

You know what? Check with Ewa if the race tack is ready to be used. She didn’t have enough time to finish inspecting the track as she was too busy trying to find her wallet. But now that you have found it for her maybe you can try the track if you ask her.

______________

Inspect the Riding Track

Maybe you would like to inspect it for me? You just need to check that there are no dangerous branches sticking out from the jumps and there is no debris on the track. I’ve marked out on your map where the jumps are so you can find them easily. Good luck!

As Thanks for the Help

So nice seeing you again, Rita. I wanted to give you a small gift because you have been so kind and helpful t us at the Manor. Unfortunately I don’t have enough evidence to be able to catch Mr Kembell this time. But may God forgive this man if he tries to vandalize anything here again!

Quest completed

It’s about darn time somebody asked about the South Iron Gate. Let’s go see the Council Man in Silverglade Village about it.

Why is the Gate Still Closed?

I’ll tell you, it is very strange… The gate to Goldenhills Valley is always opened in the spring. Every year around this tie Klaus, the mayor of Cape West Fishing Village, opens the gate. This has never happened before… I bet you would like to know why it is closed in the wintertime?

Objectives: Speak with the Council Man.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Village

The Council Man will tell you more about the gate.

Well, the gate to Goldenhills Valley has always been closed in the winter because of the mystical snow ghosts and other dangerous winter spirits that rage through that area in the winter. By closing the gate we’ve managed to keep them from intruding in Silverglade. Those spirits are dangerous and can frighten both children and horses… So closing the gate every winter is very important.

Quest completed

______________

Reason for Opening the Gate

I’m not sure how we are going to manage it… Mayor Klaus locks and opens the gate with the Key to the City he always carries around his neck. You might have seen a painting of him in the castle at Silverglade? No? Ride to the castle and look at the painting. It is around to the right inside the door. Who knows… Maybe it will give you an idea for some solution to our problem. I’ll continue to try and find a solution here while you are away.

Objectives: Ride to Silverglade Castle and have a look at the painting of Mayor Klaus.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Go inside the castle doors and turn to the right. The painting is on the wall next to the door.

“The painting shows Mayor Klaus in Goldenhills Valley. The Key to the City is hanging around his neck on a necklace.”

A Fake Idea!

“…The Key to the City that opens the locked gate… Hmm… The painting is very detailed, someone could probably make a copy of the key if… If someone had a copy of the painting!

Go back to the Council Man and tell him your idea.

So, your idea is that we take a photograph of the key in the painting that someone can use to make a copy of the key… And we can use that copy of the key to open the gate?

That is brilliant!

Question of the Camera

You think you can borrow a camera from James to take a photo of the key in the painting in the castle? Ok, ride to Fort Pinta and ask the little guy!

Ok, Rita. You can borrow my camera, just because it is you! But as soon as you are done with the camera please take it to Derek who is working at the post office in Silverglade. Derek also wanted to borrow the camera. I think he might even print out your photo for you! I’ve heard he has the equipment he needs to print out photos at the post office.

Just so you know, it was me who took the first photos of Anne when she went to school in Jorvik. Aha… You want me to print out your photo?

Quest completed

______________

Printed Photo

Of course I’ll print it for you! I’ll do it for free. We normally take 15 Jorvik Shillings per print. Zip! Now it is ready. What a great picture of a… huh… a painted key? So… interesting…

Objectives: Take the photo to the Council Man.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Well, gee, Derek, you don’t have to brag so much. It’s not very becoming of you…

That was fast. And what a great photo! I’ve been standing here thinking about who could possibly make a key with only a photo to go by… But I haven’t come up with anyone. We don’t have a locksmith here… Have you thought of anyone?

Quest completed

______________

Can You Forge a Key?

Aha! I didn’t think of that! You are right. Conrad Marsdeen in Moorland is a well-known master blacksmith. It was great that you thought of him. Take the photo with you and ask him if he could possibly forge us a copy of the key.

If all goes well I’ll wish you luck in Goldenhills Valley. Don’t forget to send my best wishes to Klaus when you ask him why he didn’t open the gate this year.

Objectives: Ask Conrad if he can forge a copy of the key in the photo.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillngs, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Go to Moorland with your photo and ask for his help.

Rita! I haven’t seen you for a while. You are wondering if I can make you a copy of a key? The key to a city? Okay… The ends justifies the means. I’ll help you so that we can find out what has happened in Goldenhills Valley.

Quest completed

______________

More Iron Ore

I need iron ore to make you a new key. You already know that iron ore is in the Demascus Mine just southwest of here. Take my pickax and ride over to the mine to get me some. When you get back we’ll get started.

Objectives: Use the pickax in the Demascus Mine to chip out three chunks of Jorvik iron ore and come back to Conrad with them.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Keepers of Aideen

Well, off you go!

Wonderful! You have done this before so you are getting good at it now.

Quest completed

______________

A Little Blacksmith’s Apprentice

This might take a while, but if you help me, the first phase of the forging can go smoother. At least you’ll get to practice your smithing skills. Who knows, some day you might be a real blacksmith’s apprentice?

Listen here… Sometimes we need to work the iron on the anvil with the hammer and sometimes we’ll need to heat the iron in the forge with the tongs… And sometimes we’ll need to cool the iron in the bucket with the water.

I’ll tell you which thing we need to do and when. Timing is always important… If we get it wrong we’ll have to start over again. Remember you’ll need to get off your horse when we start forging. And put your horse a little distance off so we have room to work.

Here are the tongs and hammer. Get ready to use them.

Objectives: You need to get off your horse and help Conrad forge the key. Use the tongs and hammer to carry out his instructions. Be careful!

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 25 with Keepers of Aideen

Conrad will start counting down time. It’s best to keep your inventory window open for this next part.

He will give you three different instructions: heat the iron, work the iron, cool the iron.

Use the tongs on the forge and the water bucket, and use the hammer on the anvil. Use each tool before time runs out. If time does run out, you will have to start the work over again.

When you’re done, speak with Conrad again.

You were a great apprentice, I have to say. I’m sure you could be a great blacksmith someday if you try. Now I’m going to finish the work with the key and then the iron needs to rest until tomorrow to harden properly. Come back tomorrow and the key should be ready.

Quest completed

Return to Conrad tomorrow.

The Council Man in Silverglade Village has news for you.

In Your Face Old Man!

Wait, one more thing… There is one more detail that I think needs your attention.

It has taken quite a while, but I have finally gotten the official indictment against G.E.D. The bosses of Jorvik want me to deliver the indictment to Mr Kembell, but I have a lot to do here in the city and I know how much you like to do things that drive Kembell crazy. What could possibly make him more angry than you delivering the indictment to him personally?

Mr Kembell is still glaring at his oil drills north of the Winery, you can find him there.

Objectives: Deliver the indictment against G.E.D. to Mr Kembell who is standing near the oil drills near the Winery.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 30 with Silverglade Village

Ooh this should be good! Wait while I get my popcorn.

Bah… You again… You crazy girl! Okay… I’ll read the document…

ARRGH!

Quest completed

______________

A Threatening Greeting

Grrr… It says that Jorvik City is charging me with fraud in the tenancy agreement where they think they can prove I have been using stolen oil drilling equipment. Catastrophe and madness! This is all your fault! You win for now… I will run while I can this time. I have found new places I can exploit for their natural resources on this stupid island. And this new place is a long way away from you AND your stupid horse!

Let the Jorvik council know that this is far from over… And when I win in court I’m going to come back here and dynamite Silverglade right off the island! You might be too young to remember, check out what I did to Hill Crest…

This is not the last time you’ll see me Rita…

Objectives: Speak with the Council Man.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 30 with Silverglade Village

And the award for the biggest crybaby goes to…

Wow, that really got him going. Mr Kembell should remember his blood pressure! Ha ha ha! We’ll have to hope that Jorvik City has what they need to make the charges stick. Mr Kembell is a dangerous man when he is angry and has the law on his side. But it is great to get rid of him for a while. Thank you Rita for your help.

Hill Crest is a sad story… It was once a prosperous town in the mountains south of Moorland that G.E.D. turned into a big hole in the ground… A mess of a dig site for mining. Both the town and the mine have been abandoned for a long time. It was a terrible shame what happened there…

Conrad has finished making the barrels for Marley.

Finished Barrels

I didn’t realized making barrels could be such a tough job. I never would have believed it. But here they are Rita, the best barrels Jorvik has ever seen. Bring them to Marley and use them with pride!

Objectives: Ride back to Marley with the amazing new barrels.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

So amazing! Marley should be happy to see these fixed…

Where have you been? How could it have taken so long to repair a couple of barrels?

Oh. The blacksmith has worked day and night to make me new barrels that should last hundreds of years. Uh oh. I wonder what the bill is going to be… I only wanted him to switch out a few boards…

Quest completed

______________

Build the Course

While you were gone I read the rulebook on exactly how barrel racing should be done. Behind my house I have marked off on the field exactly where the barrels should be. So, you only need to ride over and put them down in the right place. Then we just need to test it out!

Objectives: Place the barrels at the marked places.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

You have to be dismounted from your horse to place the three barrels. When they are set go back to Marley.

Yeehaw! Well done Rita! Are you ready for a little barrel racing?

Quest completed

______________

My Brother the Inspector

Ok… Now we need to inspect the course. Can you ride over to my brother Carney and ask him to come over and inspect the course? I know, I know… It is awful not to even try it once before it is inspected… But if it isn’t inspected I can’t open it up for anyone.

Objectives: Speak with Carney at the Winery and ask him to come to Marley’s to inspect the barrel racing course.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Carney is by the stables at the Winery.

I see. My brother wants me to come and inspect his crazy new race. I have a lot to do today that can’t wait… But maybe tomorrow. We’ll see.

Quest completed

Return to Marley tomorrow.

Now let’s go see how Barney is doing with his crops.

Are the Crops Growing?

Hello again! I am a bit worried, nothing has come up from the soil. I hope I don’t have to postpone the party. We need to do something extra to get the plants started… Cow poo! Yes, you heard right! We need to spread some manure to get the plants ready in time. Maybe you and Summerblaze can use this spade to collect some manure for me? Ride to Hollow Woods and Valedale. Claire’s cow manure would be perfect for this.

Objectives: Get cow manure outside Valedale.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Go to the cows near Valedale, and collect their poo. You have to be dismounted to use the shovel. When you have collected enough manure, return to Barney.

Awesome! It smells really bad! Lucky for us that the crops don’t have noses.

Quest completed

______________

Fertilize the Field

Fertilizing the field is not glamorous work, but it has to be done, Rita. Take the bucket with manure and spread it out here and there. The soil will absorb the nutrients fast. No time to lose, take the bucket and start!

Objectives: Spread the manure on the field.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Dismount from your horse and go out into the field again to spread the manure. Then return to Barney.

Let’s go see Marley about getting the barrels fixed.

The Smith’s New Barrels

Yes! You are probably right! Ride over to Conrad, he is good at fixing and making just about everything. I’m sure he can fix my barrels. Here are the broken barrels Rita, ride like the wind and come back as soon as you can. I’ll read the rulebook while you are gone to be sure we do this just right.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Conrad can be found at his smithy in Moorland.

Fix the barrels… Not really my area, but for you we’ll take a look. But remember I don’t do anything halfway… We’ll fix these right or not at all. If I’m making a barrel they will be the best barrels you’ve ever seen.

Quest completed

______________

New Wood for the Broken Barrels

The first thing we need is new wood. Wood that will last hundreds of years… Not the cheap stuff these barrels were built with. The best wood for barrels is only found in one place in Jorvik. Beside Valedle Lake. There is an ancient oak beside the lake and under it you should be able to find some old fallen branches that should be as strong as the mountains.

That is what we will build out barrels with.

The oak tree should be easy to find… It is the only one of its kind near Valedale Lake.

Objectives: Bring the branches from beside Valedale Lake to Conrad.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

The oak tree is in the middle of the Valedale Lake area. It’s the only big, leafy tree. To get to it, follow the race trail. The tree is just around the hairpin turn. You’ll have to go off of the trail to get to the branches. Most of them are on the beach beside the tree.

When you have collected enough branches, return to Conrad.

Great Rita! This wood should make for the best barrels in Jorvik. Now I’ll just cut them to the right length…

Quest completed

______________

New Iron for the Barrels

The wood for the barrels is ready. Now we need more iron to make the bands around the barrels that hold the wood together.

Go pick up some more iron ore from the Demascus Mine. Borrow my pick-axe and break some iron ore from the rocks that I can use to forge the bands for the barrels.

Objectives: Break off some iron ore in the Demascus Mine and bring it to Conrad.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

The mine is to the west of the smithy. Go in and dismount your horse to collect the ore. When you are done, return to Conrad.

Good Rita! Now I’ll forge some bands for these barrels. It is going to take a while but anything worth doing is worth doing right. These will be the best barrels in Jorvik.

Quest completed

Return to Conrad tomorrow.

Now let’s go see what Barney needs help with.

Farmer

Hello, Rita! It’s time to sow some seeds and plant some potatoes. Would you mind helping me out? You see, my back hurts so some help from a healthy young girl would be a lifesaver.

Objectives: Do you want to help Barney to grow some crops?

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

What’s with all the back problems? Either the people of Jorvik need to have a lesson in safe lifting technique or they need to invest in importing a chiropractor…

How nice! Well, the thing is that my relatives and I are going to have a large potluck supper at my place in a couple of days. What’s better than to use your own crop? Lucky for me the vegetables normally grow very fast on my fields so I think we will get a good harvest if we start now!

Quest completed

______________

Flourishing Seeds

When it’s time to plant for the year I always talk to Felix. He knows a lot about nature and has a special interest in seeds. His seeds are always of a good quality. Can you ride over there and pick some up for me? Pick up some of each kind of seed and we’ll see what will grow the best!

Objectives: Ride to Felix in Silverglade Village and ask about seeds.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Quest completed

______________

Dig Holes in the Ground

We need to dig some holes in the ground to sow the seeds. Here, take my spade and go out on the field. Make sure to get off your horse to dig. Watch out for the combine harvester, it is dangerous and not to be trifled with!

Objectives: Dig some holes in the field to sow the seeds.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

You have to be dismounted to dig the holes. It’s faster to just run out in the field on your own, instead of taking your horse and having to get up and down.

And try not to find out what happens when a body meets the combine…

When you have dug all the holes, return to Barney.

Nice work Rita! Very well done. Keep this up and you will learn how to be a really good farmer!

Quest completed

______________

Time to Plant and Sow

Now it’s time to plant the seeds. Here is the bag of seeds to spread out over the field. It’s not that important where you plant them, some here and there will be good enough.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Eh, just, whatevs…

Put the seeds in the holes and then return to Barney.

Quest completed

______________

All Living Things Need Water

Here is my old watering can. It should be enough for the new seeds. It’s so nice that you are helping me with this, Rita. Now I have to write some invitations for my family party.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Take the watering can and water all of the seeds, then return to Barney.

Quest completed

______________

A Bathtub for the Chipmunks

What? You think we should give them a bathtub? Aha, the vet said that they like to take baths because they get so dirty when they dig. Yes, that sounds fair. Barney at the silo has some old water troughs and I’m sure he’ll give one to us.

Barney used to be outside his silo to the east of us, not far away. Oh, that’s right, you’ve met him before.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

How nice they moved here so fast! I think they like both you and the cabbage a lot. I hope they’ll live and be happy here in their new home so one one will fall down in holes any more. Thank you again for an assignment well done. You can come back and help me feed them if you want to.

Quest completed

______________

Repair the Field

Rita! I almost forgot. The old holes that the chipmunks made have to be filled. They’re too dangerous. Take this shovel and fill them. When you come back I’ll have a nice reward for you!

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 90 XP, Good Riding Pants

Have a nice day here in Silverglade, Rita!

Quest competed

Let’s go help Olaf with the gondola lift now.

Now We Need a Crane

Romance? If there is anyone who understands that it is me! If I can just borrow the trophy for a second I’ll make it storybook romantic. Just wait a second…

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Let’s go help Marley with getting his jumping track ready.

A Shop Without Goods

Hi Rita! Do you know what I realized? I forgot to order goods for the store. There will be a lot of customers now when the track is open so the items I have left will be sold in a minute. I’ll order the right away! Talk to me again when I’m done.

Quest completed

The next two quests I’m going to write the separately but you can take them and do them both at the same time. Save yourself two trips back and forth.

Clothes for the Customers

Ride to Valedale and retrieve a box of clothes I’ve ordered. It’ll be outside the clothing store in Valedale, ready to be picked up… Thanks for helping me Rita, you’re a real friend!

Take the opportunity to shop in Valedale and enter the competition by the Valedale Lake when you’re in the neighborhood!

Advice From the Vet

I’m back now, sorry that you had to wait. I did some thinking while I was away and I think that the best approach is to befriend the chipmunks. Yes, befriend. They love cabbage. If you put down cabbage in the holes and I guarantee that they will love you. After that you can build a place where they are allowed to dig. You can mark the place with signs so people know it has holes. If you give the chipmunks some cabbage now and then they’ll stay. They also like to take baths because they get so dirty when they dig. Tell Steve this.

Objectives: Tell Steve what the vet said. He’s at Steve’s farm outside Silverglade Village.

Lost Zombies Horses

It was a really great game, but much too scary for me. The pole bending tracks were so scare they gave me nightmares. But I couldn’t seem to stop playing the game. So I threw it away. The problem was I couldn’t find a single garbage can in all of Silverglade, not a single one. Eventually I sneaked up behind Jasper’s old house and hid it in the old stuff in his attic.

He has moved away so I thought it wouldn’t matter… I’m a little embarrassed about it now so you don’t need to give me a hard time about it The game is probably still there anyways…

Video Game All Day

I remember now. I thought I would start a used-goods market, which would work great here in Fort Pinta, and I needed things to sell. I thought maybe Jasper had left some stuff behind that might be good enough to sell. But the only thing I found was that game, Zombie Pole Bending Apocalypse.

That must be the best game ever! It was so much fun to play… I played all night, and all day then all night again. I forgot to take care of my customers, it was THAT good! You understand I couldn’t keep doing that so I had to sell it.

The person who bought it was an older lady from Firgrove. I think her name was Ms Morse. She said she had never played games before but wondered what it was like. So I sold her the game and my old game console. I’m sure she is in Firgrove if you want to speak with her.

The truck made it and no one got hurt, thankfully. But your bars fell out of the truck and down off the bridge. I think they’re down there somewhere. I haven’t had time to get them – there’s a lot of tourists here. But if you want them you can get them yourself.

Objectives: Find the bars under the bridge leading to Fort Pinta.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 50 XP

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Village

There are five bars, four on the ground directly under the bride, one is up on the little rise next to the trail under the bridge.

Return to James when you have found them all.

Good work! What luck that some of them are undamaged, at least.

Objectives: Ride back to Marley outside Silverglade Village and give him the bars and the receipt.

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Village

Marley will be pleased with the bars.

Super great Rita! These bars are really nice! Strange, there are some scratches here and there. James said they were brand new. But it doesn’t matter.

Correct Time on Order

My brother did a very good inspection! The stopwatch I had wasn’t good enough so I ordered a new one. Can you ride to the post office in Silverglade Village and pick up the the new stopwatch for me? The post office is in the middle of the village, opposite the fountain. I would be really grateful if you could help me.

Objectives: Ride to the post office in Silverglade Village and get Marley’s new stopwatch.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 50 with Silverglade Village

Speak with Derek in the post office about the stopwatch.

Hi, my name is Derek and I’m new here on Jorvik island. Did you know that I once worked as a photographer and… Oh, you don’t want to talk to me, you only want a package? A stopwatch… hm… let’s see.

Quest completed

Return to Derek tomorrow.

Last business of order is the pink dye that Elizabeth is making for you. Ride to Valedale and speak with her about it.

Get Pink Dye

Hello Rita! The dye is ready. Bring it to the tailor, I hope he’ll be pleased.

Rewards: 65 Jorvik Shillings, 90 XP

Take the dye back to Donald in Silverglade.

Blue Stones for Blue Dye

Now I need some blue dye for the wool. I know there’s a special blue stone in Jorvik which I think would be perfect as pigment for the blue color I had in mind. The smith, Conrad, knows a lot about stones and minerals, talk to him!

Objectives: Talk to Conrad the smith. Conrad’s workshop is north of the Moorland stable.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 45 with Silverglade Village

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Conrad. About time we pay him a visit!

Hi Rita! If I’ve heard about a blue stone? I have. It’s called Lapis Lazuli and it’s very rare here in Jorvik.

Quest completed

______________

Stonehunt in the Highlands

The Jorvik Lapis Lazuli. A rare and beautiful blue stone. To be able to find it you need to search long and hard, but I’ve found a place nearby where I found a few specimens.

Ride up to the western part of Nilmer’s Highlands. You know, the area to the west of the abandoned farm where I think you used to compete with the Bobcat girls. Ride to the rocky knolls to the far west of that area. If you’re lucky you can find some Lapis Lazuli there. Return to me when you’ve found three stones.

You can borrow my stone pick so you can break off the pieces.

Objectives: Look for the very blue stone Lapis Lazuli in the rocky parts to the west of Niler’s Highlands. Use the stone pick and get three stones.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 45 with Silverglade Village

The stones can be found along the trail of the Bobcat Girls race, that goes off the main road and behind the farm. The stones are up in the bushes and along the hill, just off the trail.

Return to Conrad when you have found three of them.

Oh, you found really nice specimen of Lapis Lazuili! Now we have to make this into dye. I’ll help you. I’ll grind it into a powder which you can use. Come back tomorrow, the process will be done by then.

Quest completed

Return to Conrad tomorrow.

afraid of ghosts, conrad marsdeen, spikes for the shoes

I am splitting up Day 4 because the free version of the game ends at day 4. But once you upgrade, more quests immediately become available to do that day.

Afraid of Ghosts?

These horseshoes will be better than I could ever imagine! If I only had some Shiny Ghost Ore I could make them even better… Like they were made back in the old times, when ancient, crafted items were full of magic and secret powers.

Take this mining pick and ride to Jarl’s Tomb, close to Doyle’s Abbey. Use it on the ancient rocks to mine Shiny Ghost Ore. I need only two lumps of this rare metal.

Objectives: Bring two samples of Shiny Ghost Ore from Jarl’s Tomb.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Oohh shiny…

Jarl’s Tomb is a lovely place. Lovely and creepy in all its ghostly essence.

When riding on the east most road north, where the road splits, instead of turning right to go to Fort Pinta, turn left, and the trail to the tomb is immediately behind the Abbey on your right. You have to dismount your horse to go into the tomb. While you might not be afraid of ghosts, your horse is.

Return to Conrad when you have collected the ore.

These are perfect samples of Shiny Ghost Ore. Well done Rita. Now I will add the last small ornaments.

Quest completed

Return to Conrad tomorrow.

Day 4

Spikes for the Shoes

While I am finishing these shoes, find me some horseshoe spikes so I can fit them to Summerblaze. A long time ago, long before both you and I were born, an ancient tribe lived here in Jorvik. They lived happy and in harmony with the spirits of nature and their horses were full of powers we can’t even imagine today… They had a big camp just south of here on the seashore, and you can still find relics from that time there. If you’re lucky, you can dig in the sand and find some very special old horseshoe spikes.

I need only eight ancient horseshoe spikes.

Objectives: Find eight ancient horseshoe spikes on the beach and bring them to Conrad.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP, Paddock Jacket

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

The spikes are on the beach, and the quickest and easiest way to get there, now that the championship race is in place, is to go around behind Moorland stables by Mrs Holdsworth’s house.

Collect the spikes and return to Conrad.

Fine spikes indeed. Now I will continue my work on the horseshoes. Come back later; I may need your help again!

Quest completed

This is where the quests end if you are on the basic account status.

As stated before, please remember that it takes a lot of hard work, time, and effort to create and run a game of this magnitude.

If you want to continue with the quests, you will have to upgrade. Believe me when I say this, for a six-month upgrade ($30) costs less than a week of food. And remember game developers need to eat too! Your patronage will not go unrewarded!
