Category:Wise Travelers

"They come from out of the mist in the dark of night" says one popular tavern rumor. "They catch the fancies of odd children, and seduce faithful husbands", says another. In truth, no one has ever seen the Wise Travelers arrive or depart, yet it is known that the enigmatic troupe of merchants, magicians, and outcasts rolls across rural Midgaardia like a bank of fog, peddling their services and arcane knowledge to any who can pay. If you seek the truth behind the rumors, then seek the wise travelers along dark forest paths, or near settlements in and around Wildwood.

Alchemical ingredients

If it's skinned or kspawned it's likely a valid alchemical ingredient. Check Deepways for many of these and for more. The choice of ingredients tends to yield minor bonuses onto the final result item; appears that some are neutral and some are beneficial.
