Raven Rind

Thanks. Also, if you find the logic file for the Raven (I cannot even find him in item.txt or item_addon.txt) that'd help! Maybe we could mod him to tell/show us how many battles are needed...

Found this info on another thread, from Handel - he took it from the Russian forums:

This is a rough translation of couple secrets @ tips found on the russian forum (I did not test them)

4. For those like me which don't know how exactly the raven works:
- he (it?) can write one wanderer scroll every 10 fights. If the raven agrees to eat a thorn seed, the number of fights is reduced considerably.
- if you click on the 3rd line (about the saga) he will replenish a random amount of rage, mana or both. This ability is recharged through battles and you can stack up to 3 charges.
Hope this helps

Edit: Just checked the secret room. The torch is near the entrance of the king's bedroom. There were 2 chests with items and a leadership banner inside.
Edit: Now I tested how exactly the raven writes scrolls. If left w/o food he writes 1 scroll per 10 battles. BUT after 5 battles he can eat a thorn sprout and after the next battle the scroll is ready. Providing the Ancient Knowledge scroll lasts 5 battles this means you can spam it (after you find at least one AND you need a source of thorn sprouts) and fight only one battle from every 6 without bonus XP.

I'll check and see if this works!

I managed to test this... After Five battles, when you ask Rind about being hungry, he can eat a thorn sprout. However - this doesn't do the trick right away. I went back and asked him again, he asked for another sprout, and after that - after the 6th battle - the scroll was indeed created.

If you have not enought Magic Crystals (5 needed per scroll), he will tell you this.
