The reports of new quests are already starting to come in from this latest
patch. Just about everyone is looking for a lead on one or more of the new
FA Type quests. While looking around the Safehouse (rogue message board) I
found a post where someone found some interesting information.

The NPC who mentions the following information can be found on the top
floor of the Vasty Deep Inn in Erudin.
----------
-Stofo Olan says 'Good day, I have discovered something truly wonderful! If
I only had the materials required so I can copy my notes and send them to
my teacher.
-You say, 'who is your teacher?'
-Stofo Olan says 'My teacher is Jeb Lumsed. He was last seen in the regions
of the newly discovered lands. If you wish to find him that is where you
must seek him out.
-Jaxel says, 'what materials?'
-Stofo Olan says 'The materials I need are a mechanical pen, ink of the
dark, and white paper. Bring me those and I will give you a copy of this
information.
-Jaxel says, 'where mechanical pen?'
-Stofo Olan says 'The answer you seek is in your question. If you are
unable to figure it out, then perhaps you are not ready to travel along
this path.
-Jaxel says, 'what is ink of the dark?'
-Stofo Olan says 'Dark illusions, thievery, and the plague of the living
will guide you. These are the only hints I can provide. Safe travels and
may you be protected from all maladies.
-Jaxel says, 'what is white paper?'
-Stofo Olan says 'It may seem like ordinary paper at first. However, this
paper was enchanted by a friend of mine. This paper was given to a lass in
the Karanas to help with her writings. The paper will guide her hands and
draw forth the thoughts in her mind. I no longer have any and I have not
had contact with my friend in some time. Search them out.

In this excerpt from the log file that I cut and pasted here you will
notice the mention of a mechanical pen. Its totally unconfirmed but this
is a possible lead in to a new tinkering item that may become creatable
soon or is now creatable.

In another post, one most assuredly designed for the warrior quest an NPC
was found in OOT, on the Aviak Island, that requires the following item to
complet his portion of the quest.

"Denken Strongpick says 'I would be willing to part with this very fine
blade for; a keg of Vox tail ale, a block of permafrost to keep it cool and
two new rebreathers to get this operation back underway."

While this may not be the use for rebreathers that we all wanted, it does
make them a bit more needed than the FB earing, atleast for something.
