Sage bug on Dwilight?

[Dragon]

Possible bug in sage movement found.

Please look at the Dwilight map while reading the following description of the sage movement.

1. Sage found in Turbul.
2. Sage leaves Turbul.
3. No traces of the sage in Fatexna or Tranquil.
4. Sage recently seen passing through Flow
5. No trace of sage in Flowrestown
6. Sage still recently seen passing through Flow
7. No trace of sage in Turbul
8. No trace of sage in Fatexna
9. Waiting to see if there are any traces in Tranquil (if there is not I have no idea where he has gone)

If the sage left Turbul and went to Flow (the only region where he had been seen passing through) then where did he go from there?` Did he walk across the water or teleport away?

This must be a bug must it not or can someone from the dev. team give an explanation on where he could have gone off to and why there are no signs of him anywhere except in Flow?

When Sages (or Wizards) are travelling, then the rumours is all you have. They won't have arrived yet, but they have left already - which means you can't find them anywhere, but they will pop up in one of the neighbouring regions sooner or later.

[Dragon]

It has been three days though... the message saying that the sage has passed through has now vanished from Flow as well. In other words we cannot find a single mention of the sage in any region surrounding the one he was in before he moved.

How does the sage travel work? Does he use hours to move just like the adventurers themselves?
Why is there no message of him anywhere now? What does that mean?

[Tom]

Travel works differently, but the basics is that he needs time to arrive, and it can take him several days.

If there are no messages anymore, then people have lost track of him. He is still in the area (they don't teleport or anything).

Remember they are rumors. Sometimes rumors dry up. He could still be on his way.

[Dragon]

Ok.. but when you go to a region and he IS there he should show under Quests correct?

I've been to all the regions without seeing him. I have two other adventurers which have been helping me and they have been unable to find him as well. We have been searching the regions posted above over and over. I guess we shall just have to do it a third time and pray for luck?

[Dragon]

It is happening again... The sage is SEEN PASSING THROUGH the region of Flow but he is not in Flowrestown or Turbul (the only regions bordering flow)...
According to the explanation above he must then be in transit between Flow and one of its bordering regions correct? I am now waiting in one region and asking another advy to wait in the other. If he does not show up within 24 hours it is safe to say he mysteriously vanished

[Tom]

They don't vanish, but they can be "on the road" for quite a while, much longer than an adventurer, because they stop to meditate halfway through or whatever they do. There's a big randomness factor involved.

If you hear rumours that he's been passing through, he has almost certainly not yet arrived at the destination.

[Dragon]

His destination being one of the two other regions nexy to this one?
OR would his destination be the region where we the rumors are?

Obviously, rumours that he was seen will trail him, not precede. And yes, they always travel along the same ways that you do. It may not always appear that way, because, say, he only stays in a neighbouring region very shortly and you miss him there and catch him one region further out, then it might appear as if he skipped a region. But they never do.

Understood. I must just be having the worst luck ever Thank you for explaining
