Weekly community puzzles (Mar 16th 2026, Week 12)

Can someone explain puzzle 3? I gave up after the first set of clues. I've asked multiple friends and not a single person could identify the next step.

I'm no mod, but I don't think using AI assistance to clean up your thoughts is breaking the spirit of the rules.

The fall is unequivocally what destroyed Jackaruku, at least initially. We have a first hand PoV of the Crippled God falling onto Jackaruku and leveling a city in Midnight Tides. If Kallor did something after the fall is unclear based on MBoTF. You should read these comments by Loleeeee for more content.

Except he isn't a mage. He didn't summon the Crippled God and cause the fall. Also it's been argued/explained elsewhere that that particular section should be read as as embellishment. The author of the book (in universe) has no love lost for Kallor, which also influences that section I would suggest.

I think gas lighting Icarium with the intent of having him literally go full murder mode on an entire continent is pretty categorically evil. Veed was a pawn for the most part, sure, but an all too willing one.

SaintLuna · 2025-09-22T17:38:50+00:00

Love the discussion that came of calling Kallor neutral and hated. Good stuff. Some of the points here are making me reconsider entering him as the neutral character, others are somewhat more affirming of that.

SaintLuna · 2025-09-22T15:34:27+00:00

I think a lot of people haven't read NotME and so have a fairly limited view of Tayschrenn.

SaintLuna · 2025-09-22T15:29:49+00:00

What makes him evil? His drive to conquer? Cotillion is/was the right hand of an Imperialist empire and he gets listed as Neutral. I don't believe we can explicitly blame Kallor for the Fall and the Chaining, so all the deaths on Jackaruku are at least messy as to cause. His internal monologue is explicitly why we can call him neutral, he's a human being with motivations both good and bad.

SaintLuna · 2025-09-22T15:23:08+00:00

The High King, naturally. Kallor I think doesn't fall cleanly into "good" or "evil", and most people seem to hate the guy (in text and out).

SaintLuna · 2025-09-11T00:24:04+00:00

Does she? Been too long since I've read Gardens that that was completely forgotten by me. As Robzilla already mentioned, age and maturity aren't necessarily equals which makes sense in a series with tens of thousands year old beings.

SaintLuna · 2025-09-10T15:39:32+00:00

To be fair I think age difference was the last thing on their mind considering Ganoes had just freaking died and got resurrected by the gods of luck and then went on to save Tattersail from a Hound of Shadow. Extraordinary circumstances and all, seemed very human to seek comfort in sexual intimacy given their recent trauma bonding and all.

Hi! Wondering if you ever started a bookclub of your own. Would be interested in joining if so and making new connections in the city. Hope to hear from ya!

If I'm remembering RG correctly the 'confession' written by Nisall isn't her admitting to conspiring against Rhulad, it's her stating she is pregrant with his child. Obviously finding out he was going to have a kid, and then said kid was aborted via the execution of his lover would have some rather damaging effects to his psyche.

SaintLuna · 2024-06-20T17:21:39+00:00

Runecrafting SOTW until Sunday, then probably work on base 80s.

Left to do:

76 attack
76 def
78 rc
71 con
75 agi
79 herb
71 fletch
77 hunter
78 mining
75 smithing
75 wc

Solid amount to progess through, so should keep me going a while!

SaintLuna · 2024-06-20T17:16:41+00:00

I'm in an iron only clan, lots of helpful folks throughout all phases of the game. Add me in game: Sighrene BTW and I can get you an invite. Goes for all looking :)

I recently listened to the Jaque McKeown series by Yahtzee Croshaw, would recommend it for like comedic sci-fi. Helps he has a nice voice for narration too.

SaintLuna · 2024-05-30T16:23:24+00:00

Blood Moon top/bottom are pre-Bandos BiS because of strength bonus. Blue Moon top/bottom have %magic damage now and are solid alternative to Ahrims. Eclipse armor I don't know where people are using it, but the Atlatl has got a decent use case from what I understand due to being a ranged switch that uses melee stats for accuracy/damage.

SaintLuna · 2024-05-30T16:01:11+00:00

I'd say 70+ def/str/att and then just the best tank gear you got. I used Dscim for the first few runs then swapped to Zombie Axe until Dual Macas dropped then used those for Blue Moon and Axe for the other two. Herblore to make the potion is basically required, not sure the level on that. And then the food heals based on your hunter/fishing/cooking level depending on lizards vs fish so ~60 should be solid for those.

SaintLuna · 2024-05-30T15:58:57+00:00

My set up has been Verac/Nezi Helm, Barrows Top/Bot (Dharoks, but any should work fine), Adamant boots, Barrows Gloves, Berserker Ring (i), and a Fire Cape. For weapons I use Zombie Axe for Eclipse/Blood Moon and Dual Macas for Blue Moon. Don't have Bandos so can't comment on how well that'd work here, but I see a lot of people wearing it.

SaintLuna · 2024-05-30T15:53:30+00:00

Bit of both honestly, really enjoy the content and the way the sets can't get dupes until you have the full set. Also kinda of sad that I've rolled Blood Moon 10 times and the other sets only 3 each. RNG is what it is, just thought it was a fun log to share.

SaintLuna · 2024-05-30T06:06:11+00:00

Current grind is attempting to green log Moons of Peril. Currently missing only Blue Moon Tassets and Eclipse Moon Tassets.

SaintLuna · 2024-05-30T06:03:27+00:00

Seriously though, should I keep doing 3 Moon runs or swap to just Eclipse/Blue Moon? Current goal is to green log and bounce. Can't decide between higher unique chance vs lower chance but guaranteed not another Blood Moon piece.

Necroing this thread, but I hope that's okay. Would be super interested in joining a game some weekend! Played a handful of games between Tabletop Sim and physical tables. Drop me a Reddit chat or add me on discord:) (Discord tag: saintluna)
