== '''MISC DRUNKEN NOTES''' ==
GRUE quest hints, clues, and suggestions for 2023:
Take a friend, who has a few friends too.
It's a Christmas/Winter related quest.
Get togethering with your friends, fuck around and find out.
This was an intentional very hard to design around a marco/meta army and still make it useable.
Only (16) Players completed the quest it's first run in 2022.
I anticipate a much higher number for 2023.
The rewards have been increased.
Last year's Jack's Amulet was confirmed by ACE developers to not be working as intended for fellowship spells. :frowning: It's an ACE oversight IMO
Train Tickets are good for (7) days until punched
After Train Tickets are used for flagging, you are flagged for (6) Hours.
The Ticket Master goes home after his (6) hour shift, the quest resets and Frosty returns again
