Harold has the chocolate hearts for you.

Silverglade’s Best Chocolate

Here we go! One box of chocolate hearts for you. Who’s the lucky one this time? Lance? Oh, so you’re delivering it for a friend. Right, I’ve heard that one before!

Objectives: Give the hearts to Lance.

Rewards: 30 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

I’m sure Lance will be surprised to get a gift in return.

What’s this? Do you have chocolate for me? From whom?

Quest completed

______________

A Gift for Lance

Who could it be…? Are they from Mary? Do I dare hope that?

Objectives: Talk to Lance.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Well… I think you can dare… Just a little bit…

You’re so mysterious. But whoever the secret admirer is I want to write a love letter to Mary. So there!

Quest completed

______________

How Do You Write a Love Letter?

But how do you write a fine love letter? Can you help me?

Objectives: Help Lance to write a love letter to Mary.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Village

Same way all love letters start; with something about roses.

“Roses are red, violets are blue, if I invite you to a date, will you say I do?” Cool, Rita! I really hope she wants to go on a date with me. It’s a bit embarrassing to confess, but I would never have done this without your help.

Quest completed

Return to Lance tomorrow.

Now let’s go see how the trainee is doing with the cement.

We Need a Swimming Pool of Water

Ok, I don’t think I’m very good at this concrete work. I poured out the cement powder everywhere but nothing happened. Then I remembered that you also need water! The class on cement at G.E.D. was only one morning and I didn’t really get the best grade… hehe. Can you see if you can find some water? A LOT of water? For this amount of water we need enough water to fill a swimming pool… Or maybe even more. How should we do it? I have no idea. But I’m sure you will think of something!

Objectives: Find someone who can help you get a huge amount of water into the wine cellar. Someone at the winery must have a good idea as to how it could be done.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

Hmm, maybe someone like Carney?

Hello Rita. If you can get a swimming pool of water into the cellar? Hypothetically you could. How?

You would need to do a couple of things. Shut off the watering system, plug the drainage, increase the speed of the pump and turn on the emergency system for super-watering that we only use during periods of extreme drought. It sounds like an interesting mental exercise. In more detail this is how it could be done…

Quest completed

You will need to do the first two quests before the third one can be done. You can do the first two in either order you like, but they must be completed before the third one can be done.

Stop the Watering System

One thing that would need to be done is to make sure the watering system isn’t getting more water. If that happened the pressure would become explosive in the cellar. How to turn of the watering system?

The watering system gets its water from three different sources you would need to close. You can do this by closing the three different valves there, there and over there. See? But there is no real reason to do it… So I’m not sure why you are asking. You want to take a closer look there at those valves? Sure, why not?

Objectives: Turn the three valves to stop the water and then speak with Carney again.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

The three valves are in each of the front fields, east of the Manor.

When you have shut off all three of them, return to Carney.

Hello. I saw that you were gone a while and I looked at those valves I showed you. You are sure you didn’t touch anything? Hmmm… It looked like the watering system had been shut off. But it doesn’t matter. As long as the drainage isn’t plugged and the pump isn’t going too fast, it shouldn’t be a problem. And what are the chances of those three things would happen at the same time?

Quest completed

______________

Plug the Drainage

The drainage system? Yes, sometimes it plugs. For some reason the drains from the stable also run through the same system. A bunch of hay does a great job of plugging the system completely every now and then. Hay is very effective at causing stoppages.

Where the drain is? Down from the winery but above the riding arena if you want a look at it.

Objectives: Take hay from the barn and plug up the drain below the winery. The drain is below and behind the winery main building on the cliff above the riding area.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Grab some hay from the bale by the stable. To get to the drainage pipe, go under the little bridge going to the riding arena. Continue along outside the winery until you are about directly west of the winery building. The pipe is really big, set into the side of the hill, and hard to miss.

You have to be dismounted to use the hay. When you are done with your mischief, go back to Carney.

Was the drain pipe interesting? There was some hay in it? Of course, as long as it isn’t completely stopped and nobody increases the speed of the pump there shouldn’t be a problem. The chances of that happening are smaller than the sun not coming up tomorrow, so don’t worry about it.

Quest completed

______________

Speed Pumping

The pump in the cellar? The pump is in the boiler room. It is a very advanced pump. It is impossible to increase and decrease the pump speed by just hitting a couple buttons. When all the gauges are red the pump is at its maximum speed.

It is quite hard to get it to max out in normal conditions. I lost the manual a long time ago but it doesn’t matter. What would you want with that?

Objectives: Go to the pump in the cellar and try to get it up to maximum speed.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

The boiler room is across the main hall from the room the trainee is in.

The goal is to get the screen filled up with the red squares by clicking different combinations of the green buttons. The red button will set the squares back down to one.

I did this part several times to test it. It does not matter what order you press the green buttons as long as you press them all at least once. You could go across the line and press them all in order. It will not work though if you have not done the previous two quests.

When you have gotten them all red, go back to Carney.

Hmmm… Does it sound like the pump is running faster than normal? But it shouldn’t matter. As long as the watering system is shut off and the drainage isn’t plugged, it should be fine. And really… What are the chances that will ever happen?

Quest completed

______________

Super Watering System

The emergency system for fast watering during drought? Yes, it is the pride of the winery! When things get their hottest in the summer months we need extra watering sometimes. Then I just press this button here and we get as much water as the Silversong river in a minute! You want to try it? Sure, why not? What could possibly go wrong?

Push the button behind me and you’ll get to see something special.

Objectives: Push the button by Carney to start the super watering system.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Someone is in serious denial…

Push the button!

By Jon Jarl’s shadow! What happened? What incredibly bad luck. The whole cellar must have filled up with water…

Oh no. How am I going to explain this to the Baroness… Rita, you’ll have to excuse me. I need to go take care of this problem.

Quest completed

Go see the trainee in the cellar about the water.

The World is Full of Water

So much water, did you see? Did you do this? That was really smart!

Objectives: Speak with the trainee again.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Why, yes I did do this. Impressed?

This should do the trick but it will definitely take at least a day for the cement to cure. We’ll see you tomorrow.

Quest completed

Return to the trainee tomorrow.

Let’s see if Mary has decided what to give her secret admirer.

A Secret Gift

I’ve figured out what I want to give him! The baker in Silverglade Village makes the best chocolate hearts I know! I’d like to give him a whole box, but I don’t want him to know they’re from me. Could you ride to the baker, order and box and give it to the cute guy? He usually sits on a barrel by the fountain. I’d be soooo grateful!

Objectives: Talk to the baker in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 40 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 40 with Silverglade Village

Ride back into the village and speak with Harold about ordering a box of chocolate hearts.

You again? Do you want more candy? You sure know how to woo people.

Quest completed

Return to Harold tomorrow.

Now let’s go see if the cement has been successfully unloaded at the Winery.

A Truck is Coming Loaded with Cement

Heya! Like I said, you can always trust Lightning!

All the cement is in the cellar.

Objectives: Speak with the trainee in the basement again.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Go to the cellar and speak with the trainee.

Hi there. Now we have a lot of cement. Hmmm… I’m not sure what to do but I will do my best.

There is another thing that maybe you can help me with?

Quest completed

______________

No GPS for the G.E.D. Trainee

You understand I don’t have a GPS to help me navigate this thing. The G.E.D. guys didn’t think I would need one. “No room in the budget” the boss said… But without one I don’t really feel save starting to drill again. But I have an idea. I know that at the oilfield near here there is a shed where they store both maps and GPS consoles. Can you ride over there and see if we might be able to get one?

Objectives: Ride to the oil field and get a map and a GPS from the shed there.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

The guard is standing just inside the oil field area, near where Mr Kembell is.

Are you my relief? Wait a minute… I don’t see very well.

Let’s get a look at you. Hmm… hm… no! You are not employed by G.E.D. Listen here! Take a few steps back please, this storage is for employees only.

Quest completed

______________

Eyes Like a Hawk

No no no! Take a few steps back. You won’t be getting past me.

This storage is very very important. How long will I be standing here? I’m waiting for my relief now, he is a bit late but I won’t be leaving my post for that. I’ll wait for him if it takes a week. And don’t try anything funny. I have eyes like a hawk! Maybe a near-sighted hawk, but a hawk nonetheless!

“I need to find a way to get past that guard. Maybe the trainee has an idea?”

Objectives: Ride over and speak with the trainee again.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Ride back to the cellar and ask the trainee if he has any ideas what to do.

Oh… I don’t know… Short sighted you say?

Quest completed

______________

Building a Guard

What? Are you kidding me? You want me to take off my clothes? You want to build a big doll? I don’t know… But ok. I’m not sure I like this though…

If you go look for something to build the doll with I will take off my clothes.

And you’ll need to promise me you won’t peek! Promise!

Objectives: Look for things in the cellar you can build a doll with and speak with the trainee again.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

Go into the room down the hall, as well as the boiler room across the hall, to find the items to build the doll. When you have found all three of them, return to the trainee.

Here I am. Here in the barrel!

Here are my clothes too. Promise me that I will get them back. Brrrr… It is really cold down here. Brrr…

Quest completed

______________

An Illusion for the Short-Sighted

Let’s see. Hmmm… Do you really think this will work? You would have to be almost blind to be fooled by this. But this might be our only chance.

No. I don’t think I want to come out again until I have my clothes again. Take the doll and put it out in the field so the short-sighted guard thinks his relief has arrived. Hurry up! It is cold down here. Brrr…

Objectives: Ride over to the oil field and try to fool the guard with the doll. Place it on the field so he thinks it is a person.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

Place the doll on the ground in front of him. Silly man should be fooled by this…

Stop and identify yourself! Stop! Who are you? Hmmm… I don’t know you…

Quest completed

______________

Guard Relief

Hrmmm… Are you here to relieve me? You are dressed like a G.E.D. employee and are tall and proud, so you must be my replacement. I like you! You can relax a little now… You don’t need to stand at attention the whole time… Though I like that you are showing me so much respect.

You don’t say much do you? Great! There is always too much talk around here. Focus on the job, that’s my advice. A word of warning though. Watch out for this girl who is trying to get into the storge shed. She is pretty tricky, but she won’t fool me!

Objectives: Take the map and GPS from the storage shed. Ride back to the winery when you have them and speak with the trainee.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

Both items are inside the shed, when you have picked them up, take them to the cellar by the trainee.

Brr… It is really cold in here… Hey! You are back!

Quest completed

______________

Out of the Barrel Again

Can I get my clothes back now please? Brrr… So cold. Lie them down beside my barrel and leave the room so I can change please. And no peeking!

Objectives: Go out of the room so the trainee can change his clothes in private. Go back and speak with him again after.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Go out into the hallway, and the trainee will change. Though I don’t know where he got the clothes from since we left the doll and clothes up in the oil field…

Once he’s changed, go back and speak with him again.

There we go! Nice to have some clothes on again. Now you can look. Now I’m going to use this cement so that all traces of my mistake are gone.

Quest completed

Return to the Trainee tomorrow.

Tyra needs your help up at the Winery.

A Ghost in the Wine Cellar

Hello Rita. Can you help me with something? Please?

You see, the Baroness wants me to get a bottle of her finest wine from the wine cellar. She is going to serve her finest wine next weekend at her dinner with the Councilman. So I went down in the wine cellar and started to look for the bottle.

Suddenly I heard a horrible noise and the whole ground started to shake! I was so frightened that I just dropped everything and ran out of there. I don’t want to go in there again but the Baroness is going to be angry if I don’t do what I’m told. Can you get the bottle for me?

The wine cellar is at the other end of the winery. There is a door to it in the factory building behind the stores.

Objectives: Go down in the vineyard wine cellar and get the bottle of wine for the Baroness. The wine cellar is at the other end of the winery and there is a door behind the shops.

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Village

Ride north from Tyra, past the manor. The door to the cellar is on the east side of the winery building.

______________

This Isn’t North Link

Hello there! Where am I anyways? In a wine cellar? Eh? I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere…

Wait! Don’t go! Let me tell you all about it. This is how it is. Today is my first day as a trainee at G.E.D. by North Link and the first thing they did was show me their new drilling machine. Here is your new job they said, just drive it straight. Then they said good luck and walked off to drink more coffee.

So I figured I’d better do what they tell me to… But it seems like I drove the machine a little crooked. If the boss finds out I’ll get fired right away. I’m so unlucky.

What should I do now? I have no idea. This is so embarrassing. Can you help me get out of this fix I’m in?

Objectives: Speak with the trainee again.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

I know exactly how you feel, dude. Getting poor training and you muff everything up on your first day.

What do I think I should do? I have no idea…

Quest completed

______________

Which Bottle is the Right One for the Baroness?

You can’t come up with anything? Please, try and think of something. Please!

A bottle of wine? Yes, there is a bottle on the shelf here beside me of the finest Chateau Silverglade 1955, it has a complex taste with an excellent bouquet and a strong finish. An excellent choice for a formal meal. How do I know? Both my mother and father were sommeliers so I’ve been learning about wine since I could crawl.

You are going to take the wine to the Baroness so that she won’t come down and look around here? Ok, but don’t leave me in the lurch. Co back as soon as you can.

Objectives: Take the bottle from the shelf by the trainee and deliver it to the Baroness.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

Pick up the bottle behind the trainee and take it back outside to the Baroness.

And in case you were wondering, a sommelier is a wine steward; someone who is knowledgeable about many different wines and their tastes. They often work at high-end restaurants, and probably have more class than your average bartender.

Also, let’s hope he learned that info about wine from his parents, because he looks too young to drink.

How about that, that is the bottle I was looking for last week. Ah, from 1955. I didn’t know you were a wine expert Rita. But normally the staff is very dependable. But this took strangely long time.

Quest completed

______________

Organization of Years

You are an orderly girl Rita, how could it take so long?

Of course it is probably my own fault. It has been years since I have been down in the wine cellar… It must be very disorganize down there by now. I think it would be for the best if I went down there and looked into it myself. Rita, let’s go down and take a look right now.

What’s that? There is a wasp nest on the cellar stairs? Would you do me a favor and get rid of it? I’m allergic to bees you know.

Objectives: Go down into the wine cellar again and speak with the trainee.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Go down to ‘get rid of the bees’ and warn the trainee that the Baroness is coming.

Oh no! The Baroness is on her way here? She’s not going to be happy when she sees what I’ve done. What are we going to do?

Quest completed

______________

To Hide a Cellar

What should we do? I have no idea… Hide the hole in the wall? We can’t do that…

What? Block the door with barrels? I’m not sure I understand but I’ll trust you. Don’t shut me in here. I promise I won’t make a sound. I’ll be quiet as a mouse!

Objectives: Pick up the barrels in the cellar and block the door with them. Then speak with the Baroness again.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Manor

Pick up the barrels, then go outside the room to place them. Once they are all up, go out of the cellar and speak with the Baroness.

Hello young lady. Is the wasp nest gone now? Excellent. Meet me in the wine cellar as soon as you can.

Quest completed

The Baroness is now down in the cellar in front of the room you just blocked off. Go down in the cellar to speak with her again.

Renovation of the Wine Cellar

It is overflowing with wine in the cellar! How could we fill up the cellar all the way up to the door? It has been a good couple of years now but I didn’t know it had been this good. We need to expand the cellar!

Can you take care of this development Rita? Great! Can you see to it that the cellar gets renovated? I promise you will be well compensated for your efforts. Were agreed then! Let me know when you are done. It will be so exciting to see the new cellar. Work quickly dear.

See you soon!

Objectives: Move the barrels again and speak with the trainee.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

With the Baroness safely out of sight, take down the barrels and speak with the trainee.

Oh no! How are we going to fix this Rita?

______________

A Big Hole to Fill

I’m not good at this kind of thing… Digging a hole and then filling it back in… But for this I think concrete would do the trick. I know there is tons of it up at North Link.

How are we going to get a few tons of cement here? I have no idea…

But I’m sure you will come up with something… You are as smart as a Nobel Prize winner. Maybe you can find a way to fool the boss up there.

Come back as soon as you can!

Objectives: Ride to North Link and find some concrete. The boss should know something.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

Who said we would have to fool him? We’re friends. He owes me a big favor anyway…

Ride up to the North Link construction site and speak with the crew lead there.

Concrete? Listen up, don’t go thinking we just give out concrete to anyone who asks for it. Anyways, we don’t have an concrete right now. The last delivery has gotten lost on its way here.

Quest completed

______________

Lost Concrete

Whew. Can you believe it. The guy who drove the truck sent an SMS saying he was driving around Jorvik and doesn’t know where he is I have no idea where he could be… Can you figure out what his message is supposed to mean?

“Heya! I got lost. North of me is a windmill. To the west is a big castle. I have no idea where I am. I’m super tired right now. Cant drive more now. Stopped on a hill. Come find me. /Lightning”

I don’t really get what he is trying to say… and I have a lot of other things to do. Maybe you can find him and give him directions to here? Great. I’ll SMS him and say you will be coming to find him.

Objectives: Find the lost concrete truck.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 5 with Silverglade Manor

I am aware the clue to the truck is confusing. I have contacted game support to change it but have not heard back from them yet, as of writing this.

The truck is to the west of the castle. It is on the road south of the Winery.

Here is a map of its exact location. It is a big giant yellow dump truck, and hard to miss as long as you are on the correct road.

What’s up? Is it you who is going to show me the way to the building site? I have tons of cement I need to get rid of. Where should I take it? I don’t really know. The directions I got are worthless.

Quest completed

______________

New Instructions for the Driver

So you have directions to the build site? To the farm up there? To a factory by the farm? That is very close to here. Excellent!

Go up to the factory building. The truck will be parked in front of it.

Speak to the truck driver when you get there.

It’s funny how he magically disappears as soon as you turn your back to him.

Hello there! I took a bit of a roundabout way here but it got me here before you anyways. They don’t call me Lightning for nothing! Ok, so we are all set to unload the concrete now. This is going to take a while so you might as well come back tomorrow. You can trust old Lightning.

Cheers! We’ll see you tomorrow.

Let’s go help Elizabeth with her cure for Summerbreeze.

The Last Two Ingredients

Hello, Rita! The basis for the brew is ready. Today we need the last two ingredients for the cure. Do you think you can help me?

Objectives: Do you want to help Elizabeth?

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

Of course I’ll help.

Thank you! We need a water lily leaf and a thorn from a thorn bush.

Quest completed

______________

To Find Special Plants

You can find water lilies on the other side of the bridge here in Valedale, over by the reeds. It’s said that the water lilies from Valedale have a special sort of power, like Aideen’s flowers. The last thing we need is a thorn from the thorn bushes towards the Observatory. The thorns are very poisonous if they’re not properly prepared, but if you do it right, they can be used for anything. I need them right away!

Objectives: Find a water lily leaf by the reeds in Valedale and a thorn from a thorn bush on the road to the Observatory.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 15 with Keepers of Aideen

The water lily leaf can be found across the bridge. Go along the road next to the water, towards the waterfall. The leaf is in the reeds.

The thorn bush can be found on the main trail to the Observatory. They start on the side of the road once you are out of the woods and start heading up into the mountains.

When you have both items, return to Elizabeth.

Thank you! I can finish the brew now.

Quest completed

______________

Follow-Up Visit

While I complete the brew maybe you can revisit Felicity and Summerbreee? The brew will be ready tomorrow.

Objectives: Visit Felicity in Firgrove.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Ride back to Firgrove and speak with Felicity.

Hi, Rita! I’m so happy to see you!

Quest completed

______________

The Horse’s Condition

The vet was here to examine Summerbreeze. It seems to be quite serious, but she didn’t tell me exactly how bad it is.

Objectives: Listen to what Felicity has to say.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Firgrove

Keeping conditions secret is not always something you want in a health care professional. You should drop her like a bad habit, Felicity…

However, she told me about the cure that you and Elizabeth are preparing so I still feel hopeful. You have no idea how much your help means to me, Rita. I will continue hand feeding Summerbreeze until tomorrow.

Quest completed

Return to Elizabeth tomorrow.

Let’s go see what Harold in Silverglade needs help with.

Nobody Likes Melted Icecream

Yawn… Do you know what the secret to ice cream is? Besides using extra fresh milk from Valedale cows you need to whip the milk all night. Yes, it is true, so you can imagine how tired I must be!

But enough about me. I know that not many can beat you and Summerblaze when it comes to speed, so what do you say to helping me deliver some ice cream to Firgrove?

Objectives: Ride the fastest you can with the ice cream to Firgrove.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

This part is run as a race. You cannot use the transport van, and you must make it to Mrs Packard before time runs out. Though, you are given ten minutes, which is more than ample time to get there. You could probably walk there and still have time to spare…

The clock stops when you reach Mrs Packard at her house in Firgrove.

Hey! Look who it is! What a nice surprise! And with the ice cream I ordered.

Quest completed

______________

Have You Tasted the Eggs?

But hey, Rita, you haven’t stopped by to collect your share of the eggs we have since you helped us build the henhouse. Can we get you to stick around for some pancake cake?

Objectives: Would you like to stay for pancake cake at Mrs Packards?

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

Sure, I’ll sticky stick round around for some pancake cake.

Great news! You won’t be disappointed!

Pick Up Some Eggs

Oops. We are out of eggs. Maybe you and Summerblaze can ride over to the henhouse and collect soe fresh eggs? Speak with Andy after for some egg cartons to pack the eggs in.

Objectives: Ride over to the henhouse by Firgrove’s sand pits and pick up some fresh eggs. After you have some eggs speak with Andy.

What perfect eggs! Now you need an egg carton. I’ll get you one.

Quest completed

______________

Packed and Ready

There we go! The eggs are packed and ready. You are going to my grandmother’s? If she isn’t in the garden, she is in the kitchen. Just go right in. Give her a hug from me.

Objectives: Deliver the eggs to Mrs Packard who can be found in her kitchen in Firgrove Village.

Take the eggs to Mrs Packard’s house. Once there, dismount your horse, and walk up to the front door. Click on the door to go inside.

Wow you are fast! I barely noticed you were gone. Welcome back! I found the time to pick out a special surprise for you. I though you might want to help out with the pancake batter and with this Cook’s Jacket it will be extra fun!

Quest completed

______________

Bake, Bake, Bake the Cake

Will you help me with the pancake batter? I can teach you how, just do what I tell you and it will be fine. The only tricky part is that it needs to be done quickly. Timing is important when making pancakes for my famous pancake cake. Is the master chef ready?

Objectives: Follow Mrs Packard’s instructions on how to make the batter.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 20 with Firgrove

The cooking follows a predictable pattern. Once you complete this quest, you can make pancakes as a daily quest.

It’s easiest if you pick up the salt shaker and the whisk off the counter, and have your inventory open before she gives the first instruction.

They are: Butter, eggs, milk, whisk, flour, salt, whisk.

What perfect batter Rita! Now the pressure is me to fry them, hoho!

Let’s check if your wolf-repelling measures have worked for the chickens.

Can I Hear Clucking from the Chicken Coop?

Hi, Rita! Do you want some eggs? We have plenty! Can you collect some eggs to take some over to Grandma? You just have to put your hands inside the chicken wire, the eggs are in the hay. One dozen should be enough. Can you ride with a basket of eggs to Firgrove Village? I promise my grandma will be overjoyed! Good luck and be sure to ride carefully! The eggs will break if you aren’t careful riding!

Objectives: Pick up some eggs from the chicken coop and ride to Mrs Packard in Firgrove Village.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

Ride to the chicken coop, and click on it to pick up the eggs. The eggs will then be in a basket behind your saddle. If you ride at any speed above a walk, the ‘Danger!’ meter will fill up. Once it fills up completely, the eggs will break. You can prevent this by slowing to a walk or stopping completely to let the meter drain when it gets too high, before riding more.

Take the eggs to Mrs Packard’s house in Firgrove.

The eggs are so fine! It is great to hear that the chickens are doing well again! Both of us are so grateful for your help dear Rita. You will of course get something for your effort. But I have one last thing I want to ask you about.

Quest competed

______________

Egg Delivery

My good friend Harold in Silverglade Village bakes amazing pastries and he needs fine eggs. It’s so much fun to be able to give him fresh eggs. I have packed the eggs so you can ride fast without breaking them. Can you help me? I will see to it that your reward will be at Harold’s when you get there.

Objectives: Deliver the eggs to Harold in Silverglade Village.

Take your preferred method of travel to Silverglade Village. Once there, speak with the Vet about Summerbreeze.

(On a side note, my horse’s name is Summerblaze. Maybe they’re related?)

Good thing you’re here, I’ve been reading my old notes.

Quest completed

______________

An Unusual Disease

As I said, I’ve been reading my old notes and books and I found some cases which remind me of this. It can be anything from an unusual fever to something much worse. But we shouldn’t worry Felicity. Or what do you think?

Objectives: Listen to what the vet has to say.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Village

The vet will explain what needs to be done to ease Summerbreeze’s ills.

Anyhow, I had a similar case a couple of years ago. I never found out what it was, so I’m not sure now either. But I have an idea about what we can do.

Quest completed

______________

A Special Cure for Horses

There is a special cure, a brew you can give to horses with unusual symptoms. I can’t guarantee that it will work, but it’s work a try. Do you want to help me?

Objectives: Do you want to help the vet?

You’re a star! I need help collecting ingredients for the brew we’ll give Summerbreeze. It’ll be a time consuming task. I have to go to Felicity and Summerbreeze for a closer examination.

Quest completed

______________

Delivery to Elizabeth

I spoke to Elizabeth in Valedale. She’s really good at mixing brews. We agreed that you can help us get a special apple. When you find it, you can give it to her. You may have visited the Applegrove opposite the Thornrocks? It’s said that during each season, there’s one apple that shines like gold. Ride along and look for that apple. Hurry, time is short!

Objectives: Find the special apple in the Applegrove opposite the Thornrocks and give it to Elizabeth in Valedale.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 20 with Keepers of Aideen

The clue ‘opposite the Thornrocks’ means ‘across the river from the Thornrocks.’

Applegrove is along the Fire Trail. Once you cross the bride, as if you were going to Firgrove, instead of going up the hill, take the first trail off to the right. It is a road, but it is not marked on the map. Follow the road for a little bit, and off to the right-hand side you will see trees with apples on them. To get the golden apple, you will have to leave the road a bit and go down into the trees.

Once you find the golden apple, take it to Elizabeth in Valedale.

Hi Rita! Oh, you found the apple! The vet told me you were coming. I’ll use the apple as the base for the cure. Tomorrow, I’ll need more help from you, because I need two more ingredients. Now, however, I have to start the brew. It’ll take a while. Felicity says she’s extremely grateful for your help in this difficult time.

Quest completed

Return to Elizabeth tomorrow.

Speak with Claire at the Valedale stables. She has news of a friend in need.

An Assignment for a Cow Friend

Hey Rita! This is how it is… Sophie needs help to milk the cows up here. She got such a pain in her back that she had to stop before all the cows had been milked. I’m really busy today so I thought that since you already know our cows you might be able to help? Sophie is over there with all the equipment, the poor thing! Go over there and give her a hand, I’ll be sure to give you something for your trouble.

Objectives: Go to Sophie and offer to help her with the cows.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Obviously someone needs a lesson in proper lifting technique. Remember, bend your knees and lift with your legs. Your back will thank you.

Sophie is just up the road from Valedale. Go and offer your help.

A riding hero! I can’t show you how right now but I can try to explain [how milking is done].

Quest completed

______________

A New Experience

There is only one cow left to be milked, I finished with all the others before my back forced me to quit. I must have pulled a muscle or something… Anyways, very annoying, but you are worth your weight in gold for helping me…

Objectives: Take the bucket and milk the cow that hasn’t been milked yet.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Pick up the bucket next to Sophie. The cow that needs to be milked is the one standing behind her. You have to be dismounted to be able to milk the cow. When you are done, bring the milk to Sophie.

A full bucket of milk! I am impressed. Was it heavy to carry?

Quest completed

______________

Step Two

So, after we have milked the cows we put the milk in smaller containers. It is a little impractical to have the milk in a bucket! Would you mind riding down to Elizabeth and ask if she has any more empty bottles?

Objectives: Ask Elizabeth if she has any empty milk bottles.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 20 with Valedale

Go speak to Elizabeth outside of her house in Valedale.

So nice to see you! Milk bottles? Sure, I just cleaned out a few of them I got back earlier today. We always reuse the same bottles. When they are empty we drop them off again. Good for the environment!

Quest completed

Empty Bottles

There you are. Now you have some bottles to take back to Sophie. They almost look like new, don’t they?

Objectives: Deliver the cleaned milk bottles to Sophie.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 20 with Keepers of Aideen

Take the bottles back up the road from Valedale, to where Sophie is.

Perfect! Those should be enough for the milk in the bucket.

We Should Have Brought a Funnel…

I feel like an old lady right now… but my back hurts really bad. I can barely move! Please do me one more favor and pour the milk from the bucket into the bottles?

Objectives: Pick up the bucket and pour the milk into the bottles.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 35 XP

Reputation: 25 with Valedale

Both items are on the bench behind Sophie.

You have to be dismounted to do this task. Pick up the bucket first, then place it over the bottles to fill them.

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

Green as a Jealous Druid

Now I need some green color for your vest. Old Mrs Holdsworth in Moorland used to come here and she can make a green dye from bushes growing here in Moorland. She has a special way of making dye by boiling the leaves in water with olive oil in it.

______________

The Secret Ingredient

Mrs Holdsworth, who makes green dye, has a secret ingredient that helps her get a really rich green color. But everyone knows the secret ingredient is olive oil, so you should get some from Harold. He’s standing by the fountain in the middle of the village. Take the oil to Mrs Holdsworth.

Tan needs help with something now, you should go talk to her.

Lost Money

I’ve saved for a long time to be able to buy new riding clothes and now all my money is gone. I must have lost them! They have to be somewhere nearby. Can you help me look for them, please?

There are three places I might have lost them in. One is in the paddock next to me, near the hay. Or maybe I lost them during lunch. I sat at the bridge down by the water, south of Mrs Holdsworth’s house. On my way back I visited Mrs Holdsworth and may have lost them by the benches in her cherry tree garden.

Rewards: 12 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Maybe on the Way to the Smith?

I was at the smithy, you know… Conrad. I may have lost my money on the way back when I was riding a bit faster. Look along the road towards Conrad the smith, his smithy is to the north. I was riding along the race track, so start there, please. After that you can talk to Conrd to see if he’s seen any lost money.

Quest completed

Let’s start out by finishing the quest with Barney from the day before, so that we can feed the birds!

Amazing Grains

Here is the grain. Now bring that back to Steve and the birds.

Objectives: Bring the grain to Steve.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 85 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

Do as Barney says and take the grain back to Steve.

Wonderful! My birds can finally eat to their hearts content.

Quest completed

______________

Feeding the Birds

Would it be too much to ask if you fed the birds as well? Just put the grain on the bird tables and they will flock around you. I think some birds are fleeing from the Everwind Fields since G.E.D. has started to drill for oil over there. Poor birds.

Objectives: Put the grain on the bird stables to feed the birds.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 125 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

The bird tables are scattered around the farm. Place the grain from your inventory onto the bird tables.

Look how happy they are. I must say that you make an excellent bird feeder.

Quest completed

Donald the Tailor needs some help!

I Need More Wool!

Rita! How are you? Now that you’re here, perhaps you could do me a favor. After this harsh winter I need to make a lot of warm jackets for people. You see, I’m out of wool at the moment, and as a tailor I depend on wool to make fabrics and thread to make clothes with. You should be able to get some more wool from the shepherd, Landon. Please run this errand for me, will you?

Objectives: Find the shepherd and ask him for some wool.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

The easiest way to get to the shepherd is to take the road north out of Silverglade Village, and after the large hill, take a right and he’s in the little field beyond.

Well hello! What? You’ve come for wool? Oh, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you; I haven’t had time to shear the sheep yet. I’ve been too busy watching over them. I’m awfully afraid they’ll run away, you see, and that would be such a tragedy, don’t you think? I couldn’t stand losing another one of them.

Quest completed

______________

How to Shave a Sheep

If it’s very important I could of course lend you some sheep shears and in that way you could shear the wool off them yourself. Do you want to help me with that?

Yes? You are a feisty young lady, I must say! Here you go then; take these sheep shears and cut off as much wool as you want.

Objectives: Use the sheep shears to cut wool from four sheep.

Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

You only need to shear four sheep so you can choose any four you want to shear.

Nice work. Perhaps you should consider becoming a sheep farmer yourself some day? I work for the Baroness of Silverglade, do you know her? No? Ok, I guess you will meet her soon and probably start work for her like everybody else around here.

Quest completed

______________

Wool for the Tailor

Say hello to Donald for me, will you? Now I’ve got to return to watching the sheep. I almost thought one of them was going, there, for a while. The Baroness would not be happy if I lost one… She is very upset right now over the new oil drilling project at the Everwind Fields.

Objectives: Take the wool to Donald, the tailor.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

Donald is waiting for you.

Beautiful! Looks like this wool has been cut off by a true professional and the sheep look great!

Quest completed

Looks like Harold needs help with something again.

Cookies to the Castle

Once a month we deliver a jar of cookies to the castle. These are cardamom cookies; greatly appreciated by the Baroness. Will you take them there, please? Ride there on that beautiful horse of yours and it will take you no time at all.

I forgot to note the objectives and rewards for this one, sorry!

Take the cookies to the front gate of the castle.

“Nobody is answering the door. There’s nothing to do but head back to the shop. Unless you want to taste one of those cardamom cookies… they smell rather divine.”

Quest completed

______________

No Cookies to the Castle

“As nobody is answering the door, it seems the best thing to do is head back to the shop.”

Objectives: Return to the shop with the cookies.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 45 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Take the cookies back to Harold. And try not to eat any on the way back…

The castle was closed? Nobody answered the door? You know, lately there’ve been some rumors circling around about that place. Someone said they heard what sounded like a girl crying from inside the building. Frankly, I don’t know what to think. The Baroness has seemed… anxious, lately.

Quest completed

______________

Bottles for the Butler

If I have heard the crying? I can’t say I have. Actually, it kind of sounds like a silly ghost story to me. But hey, you could always ask the Baroness yourself when you see her.

The Baroness is the owner of the Silverglade Manor and the vineyards, you see. Her family, the Silverglades, run way back in history. They have been the most influential family in Jorvik since, I don’t know for how long, maybe hundreds of years.

Here are some wine bottle samples that the Baroness has requested. See if can deliver them to the butler, he should be at the winery. Ride carefully! The bottles are fragile.

I forgot to note the objectives and rewards for this one, sorry!

Take the gate out of the north of Silverglade Village and follow the road to the west to get to the winery.

Miss? Oh, the bottle samples, very good. Thank you. What? Yes, the winter has been hard indeed, for the manor as well. How the Baroness is? You heard that she was very busy – I see. Well, one could say that; she’s had a lot on her mind lately with the G.E.D. exploiting the land and all. She’s building a new race track as well, which of course takes a lot of time and effort. But I’ll see that she gets these. Certainly, miss. Good bye.

Quest completed

______________

The Very Noble Stable

Pardon? A stable? Why of course we have a stable here; the Silverglade Equestrian Center – the noblest stable in Jorvik, miss! You come from Moorland? Well, you should indeed pay a visit to the Equestrian Center; it houses some of the best performing horses on the island.

Why don’t you speak to Linda… hold on… what am I saying – not Linda! Ha, ha! Not Linda, miss. There are other stable girls over there, however. I think one of them is called Judy. Judy will be able to help you.

Objectives: Talk to Judy at the Silverglade Equestrian Center.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Manor

Suspicious, at the very least. I’ll be back to you later Mr Godfrey…

Ride over to the stable and speak with Judy.

Hi Rita! Of course I know who you are, I’m so glad you’re here! I’m Judy by the way. I spoke to Thomas Moorland earlier and he told me that you and Summerblaze are really great together, like you truly bonded. That makes me happy since Summerblaze is the horse I used to ride when I first started out as a stable girl at Moorland. He’s a wonderful horse and deserves a rider that understands him.

Anyway, we’re short on people here since Linda went away. Thomas said that if you happened to come by, I could ask you if you would be willing to help out a bit here.

Quest completed

______________

Help the Equestrian Center

Have you met the Baroness yet? No, it doesn’t surprise me. She’s been acting almost hysterical lately – when you actually see her, that is. It seems like she’s spending more and more time inside the castle, God knows what she is doing.

Will you please help out the stables until Thomas needs you again?

Objectives: Talk to Judy at the Silverglade Equestrian Center.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 55 XP

Reputation: 20 with Silverglade Manor

Tell Judy you can help out in the stables.

Thank goodness you said yes! Ok, so what we need you to do is give the horses hay and water, groom them and muck out the boxes. You can do this whenever you feel there’s the need. You’ll find detailed information on the notice board in the yard. I will be around if you need anything, but I doubt that you will have any problems. You look like a smart girl.

Quest completed

______________

Inspect the Water Pipes

What we acutely need help with though, are the water pipes for the irrigation system in the fields. We just turned the water on and now the pipes are leaking. They must have broken down during the winter by the cold.

Do you think you could try to locate the leaks? Ride over there on Summerblaze, the terrain is a bit troublesome to walk on for you and me. When you find a leak, turn the knob and stop the water at that spot.

Objectives: Locate the eight leaks and turn eight knobs to stop the water.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

Follow the orange highlights to the leaking pipes. All of the pipes are on the lower terrace of the vineyard, behind the stable.

You found all the leaks? Fantastic! I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am to have you here!

Quest completed

The next character that needs help is Carney. He is standing behind Judy next to the fence around the stable.

Testing the Soil

So, I heard you were riding around and was hoping that I could ask you for a favor. The thing is, we’re doing some tests on the soil around the vineyards and the results should be ready now. Would you be so kind as to check them for me?

Objectives: Check the soil test instruments and report back to Carney.

Rewards: 22 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

The tests are in the very back fields and can most easily be reached by taking the trail next to the Manor to go behind it. There is a bridge over the little gully, and the tests are on the other side of the bridge.

When you have visited all three of the devices, return to Carney.

Interesting. Very interesting. Thank you so much for helping me with this.

Quest completed

______________

Grape Sprout

And you know what; could you get me a sprout from one of the grapevines as well? We’ll perform tests on that too. Use these garden shears. I did send the girl Sonja for the sprout samples, but she couldn’t find any…

Objectives: Cut off a sprout from the grapevines and return to Carney.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 65 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

The sprout can be found on the lower terrace behind the stable.

Also, if you didn’t notice, the shears Carney gives you is actually a rake…

That’s it. Thank you, Rita. You are of really good help.

Quest completed

Judy needs help again.

The Riding Plumber

Here are some tools that you can use to fix the water leaks you found on the pipes.

Objectives: Use the tools to fix the water leaks.

Rewards: 20 Jorvik Shillings, 95 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Manor

Return to the same pipes that you turned off, and fix them with the plumbing kit.

Ok, great. Let’s hope that the pipes stay together for a while. We’ve got other things to do, haven’t we?

Quest completed

______________

Report to the Baroness

You did a great job on the pipes, Rita. The Baroness herself was here earlier and complained about the leaks – she will be absolutely thrilled over the fact that you fixed them.

You know what, you should go over to the castle and tell her. Then you’ll get a chance to introduce yourself. The Baroness is a really good person to know around here. If you’re ever in trouble she will be able to help you with almost anything. If you make a good impression on her, that is.

Objectives: Go to the Baroness and tell her that you fixed the leaks.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Reputation: 40 with Silverglade Manor

Go north past the front of the Manor and the Baroness is on the other side, in front of the wall, beside a pile of grapes.

Hello there my dear, who might you be? Rita? Oh, you work in the stable, I see. I’m delighted to hear that the leaks are fixed and that you sent the grapevines to be analyzed, very good indeed. I’m afraid you’ll have to be off now, though since I have a lot of work to get to. I’m a little stressed out at the moment as you may be able to tell.

If you could help? Well, I’m sure you can’t help more than you already did, dear; these are some big issues I’m handling right now. I’m sure you’ve already heard about the construction company doing their best to destroy my land – “Global Energy Domination”, have you ever heard such a fatheaded, ridiculous name? They actually set up an OIL FIELD next to my vineyards. and our upcoming harvest will be as poor as ever. Oh my. I feel like a terrible evil has come to this island.

Quest completed

Return to the Baroness tomorrow.

After the Baroness’ little speech it’s time to go see another person. Follow the same trail you took to get the soil tests back next to the Manor and cross the little bridge to get to the Everwind Fields.

A Familiar Unhappy Face

Well, well, well… What do we have here? So we meet up again… Well, to be honest with you I am not very happy to see you again. You really ruined my plans to bring down your little stable and build my houses there. Do you have any idea how much money I lost because of you!

Are you going to try to destroy more things for me now?

Objectives: Talk to Mr Kembell.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 85 XP

Reputation: 10 with Silverglade Manor

More Mr Kembell brand melodrama at its finest.

This oil is mine and only mine! Nothing will stop me from drilling for oil here, not even you! So take your stupid horse and go away! I don’t want to see you ever again!

Quest completed

Welcome to Silverglade Village! The quests for today will get you acquainted with the residents of the area. The first to meet is Felix. He has the cute little wagon down the stairs behind Town Hall.

Flowers for the Shop

You know what? I’ve been thinking that my shop might use a little cheering up – especially in the back room. Do you think that you could pick some of those beautiful spring flowers that grow just outside the village? Five would be just enough, I think.

Objectives: Find five spring flowers and deliver them to Felix at the Rockville Shop.

Rewards: 60 Jorvik Shillings, 85 XP

Reputation: 25 with Silverglade Village

Apparently Silverglade is not one of those places where picking some of the local flora is illegal…

The flowers aren’t hard too find. They’re everywhere. Choose five, any five, and collect them, then return to Felix.

Great, great, great! I love it! I will put them in a vase and have them in my back room to cheer me up!

Quest completed

The next character to meet is Steve, also one of my favorite characters in the game.

When the Cat is Gone

Steve asked me to lend him my mouse traps. Since his cat has disappeared, he and his horses have some kind of problem with mice… I don’t have time to bring them myself, so can you do it for me? Please?

Here are the mouse traps. Steve lives at the farm just outside Silverglade Village, to the southeast.

Objectives: Take these mouse traps to Steve at the farm just outside of Silverglade Village.

Quest completed

______________

The Cat Substitute

Take these and put them out on different spots.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 85 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Place the traps on the orange highlights and return to Steve when you’re finished.

Nicely done, mate! Don’t understand where the mice are coming from. On the nights I can hear strange sounds from the underground… I wonder if G.E.D. is drilling out the island of Jorvik from the inside?

Now we just need something to use as bait.

Quest completed

______________

Cheese Chase

Hmm… My mate at the mill, Will the millman, has plenty of cheese in his storage. maybe you can ask him for some old cheese that we can use as bait? He lives just at the windmill to the north of here, you can’t miss it.

Quest completed

______________

A Stinky Plan

Here I have some… cheese! My smelliest cheese ever! This will do the trick but Steve will never understand why. You see, the cheese stinks so much that the mice will flee the farm. This way we can both make Steve and the mice happy. Good solution, eh? So, here you are, I’ll let you take this to the farm.

Hey, if you ever need cheese again – feel free to come here, even if I happen to be somewhere else. My cheese is your cheese.

Return to Steve when you’ve loaded all the traps with the cheese.

Quest completed

______________

Ask for Grain

You’re lucky you weren’t here this winter, that much I’ll tell you. Never seen such a winter. I thought I had magically flown to Siberia, it was that cold! I felt sorry for the birds during that never-ending cold. How were they supposed to find food? and now these mice seem to have eaten what grain I had left in the storage. What am I supposed to feed them now?

If there’s someone who has his grain supplies filled, it’s Barney over at the silo. Would you be a star and go over there and ask for some?

Objectives: Go to the silo and ask Barney for some grain. The silo is just east of Steve’s farm.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 85 XP

Reputation: 35 with Silverglade Village

Living in Wisconsin during the winters, I often think that myself.

Take the road to the east out to Barney’s silo.

Grain for the birds? They had a rough winter, eh? We all did, didn’t we. I said to the wife that… that if I didn’t know better, I’d say that some gruesome, dark power reigned over the island that winter. But then again I’m getting old, aren’t I. Older than last year, anyway.

Return to Barney tomorrow.

Harold the baker, in Silverglade Village, needs some help.

Start from the Beginning

Rita! I heard that it was you that saved Moorland from that terrible Mr Kembell! Well done. I was just going to start making pizza muffins when I found that I was out of flour. Would you please get some for me? You should be able to get it from Barney at the silo.

Objectives: Go to Barney at the silo and ask for some flour.

Pizza muffins? I’m intrigued…

Go back to Barney’s silo.

Flour, you say? I don’t have any flour but I do have a lot of grain. Will that do?

Mill It

Here you are; if you take this to Will over at the mill, you can grind it into flour. By the way, I heard that Mr Kembell is now drilling for oil at the once beautiful Everwind Fields. Too bad.

Objectives: Speak to Will at the mill. Ask if he can grind the grain into flour.

And now what you’ve been waiting for as a star rider, to learn how to jump! Justin Moorland is waiting for you at Steve’s farm.

An Obstacle to Build

Hello again Rita! I was out for a tour. Checking rune stones, you know. I was hoping to see you. Just wanted to see everything is fine with you.

Oh? You have not tried to jump yet? Let’s build a simple obstacle and I’ll see if I can give you a lesson. Collect some bars from behind the barn and build into a jumping obstacle right there on the pile of wooden boards.

Objectives: Find three bars to build a jump.

Build the jump and return to Justin.

That looks nice. Not too high for you, eh?

Quest completed

______________

Learn to Jump

Ok, you are sure the bar is not too high for you? Let’s try it then. From now, you will be able to jump. It’s all about timing and skill. Get your horse up to canter speed and jump just before the bar. (Press “Space”, or “O” on the keyboard to jump your horse)

Objectives: Jump over the obstacle. (Press “Space”, or “O” on the keyboard.)

Let’s do it already!

Great work! You flew over that bar! From now on you can jump whenever you want but be careful. Being able to jump anywhere can be dangerous so take care. Be responsible and careful not to hurt yourself or your horse…

Quest completed

______________

See You Later!

With better experience and gear you will be able to jump even better! Try riding faster and jump over different things so you and your horse learn how to do it. Practice makes perfect!

Objectives: Keep speaking with Justin about how to be a better rider.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 75 XP

Talk, talk, talk, all we do is talk.

Great, I just want to make sure you really try hard to get better! It would be cool to see you beat the other girls and climb even higher on the high scores lists! Experience and the right gear is the way to do that. That’s all for now, I will say hello to Steve and then return to Moorland Stable. Take care and see you later!
