The Naturalists
Current as of 9-28-2002
Naturalists like to dress in olive drab tunics and wear boots. They can be found in libraries all over the world(Buildings where scribes work.) Each naturalist will offer you the opporunity to perform research for him and reward you with a rare seed. Several new colors of new seeds are available. Different naturalists will give you a certain color of seed. Pictures of all the seed colors coming soon.
How To:
This particular naturalist was found in the First Library of Britain. Let's talk to him.
He'll give you a little background on his work without forgetting to flatter himself. He goes on to tell you about his interest in the new Solen hive and asks that you investigate the 4 egg nests in the hive. Accept if you're interested.
The naturalist is very pleased that you've agreed and spouts a little more self-promotional rhetoric before sending you on your way.
You must locate holes to the 4 different hive lairs. You might have noticed by now each lair resides in a certain corner of the hive. Find the egg nest and sit still while you take down notes. You'll know you've found the lair when your character says "Ah!" The below are the messages you'll see at various stages of progress:
"You begin studying the Solen Egg Nest to gather information."
"You begin recording your completed notes on a bit of parchment."
"You have completed your study of this Solen Egg Nest. You put your notes away."
If you leave the area, your work will hault and you'll have to start over. Once you've collected data from all 4 egg nests, return to the same naturalist who issued you the quest and talk to him again.
Oh! He's very pleased! He tells you about his botanist friend who's discovered a strange new hybrid seed and decides that it would be a good reward for his little apprentice! He also mentions that Solen really like to eat seeds which seems to make way for more planty content in the future.
At last! Your reward! There are several new, rare colors available. Pictures of them coming soon.
Fire Seed How To:
To attain the fire seed, you must go above and beyond the call of duty in your research for a naturalist.
Once you have completed your notes on the standard 4 holes, rather than returning to the Naturalist right away, find yourself a green thorn--They are resources produced by bright green snake plants and single-barrel cacti.
On a rumor, the thorn was planted in compassion desert in front of the Compassion shrine. The sand is collapsing! Let's go in!
It's an undiscovered lair! Start studying those eggs.
I think the naturalist will like what you have to show him too.
The naturalist will either say "Yeah!" and clap, or "Yahoo!" and clap. And he loves you ever so much more than his other apprentices! He's been passing out low-grade seeds to his other apprentices, but for you, his special researching buttercup, he will present a very special seed!
Oh, and it's a beautiful fire seed. Look at it glow...Mmmmmm...Fire seed...
So if anybody gets a "thorn", a few of us would like to be there to see you drop it.
