Trivia

  • Two of the tips erroneously state that a hammer is needed to remove furniture items.
  • One tip says you need 10 Fallen Stars to craft a Mana Crystal, while you need only 5.

  • One of the tips " torches and glowsticks can be a light for you in dark places" is a reference to the crystal phial in "The Lord of the Rings"
