What item does Nora want!?
I have brought her so many magical items. She rejects everything. Seriously, I think I missed something because it has been awhile...

Edit: Case closed. Nora Wants a Mana stone.

It should be items with the "magic" tag.

Mostly wands.

Check the tags on the items X} There are more than ya think, but they do have to be labeled with that tag.

Oh, that makes sense. Somehow I haven't seen a wand even though Ive been on a good 10 adventures with her with an exclamation point... So things like mana conductors and robes and witches hats aren't magic?

I have not seen a single wand in any of my runs and I unlocked enchanted swamp 3 or 4 runs ago.

Wow... I have done quite a few runs and I dont even have that unlocked first level.. So Nora is just wandering your town as well?

Ummm my bad here. Yeah wand works but they're unlocked only once you actually do the quest with Nora, as is the magic system in general (just like you unlock bows and arrows with the master archer).

I think your best chance would be books, they also (most of them) are items with the magic tag. There should be a random encounter in the dungeon where you can buy a book for 8 gold. Or anything with the "magic" tag really, but, you kinda have to check everything you loot, as stuff being magic isn't always obvious.

I swear on my life I haven't seen a single magic item and I search everything... but thanks for clearing that up.. maybe its in the third area after the Bramble? I did the research to unlock it, so I see the door, but its always locked for whatever reason.

most anything that uses mana is 'magic', ya know that right?

I also suspect that some people aren't doing the turn in unlocks & run quests. >.>

No that is not true, I have offered her a few"magical" items that use mana and she has denied them or I wouldn't have posted. She is looking for something specific it seems. I have offered her Witchs hat, witches robes, a magicians sword or something along those lines. I am still only in the Bramble. I dont think the "main" magic items she is after are appearing yet.

I dont know how to actually enter the third area door that I have appearing from research, as it is always locked. and yes, I am doing quests as I unlock them and there are many of them, so I cant be expected to know which questline to focus. I am far and even have bridges and a somewhat full town.

What exactly is see asking for? She was an early unlocker. Did you do the ' proto manastone '?

I'm just wrapping my stuff up, but I'm starting to think there is a miscommunication going on here.

She's a quest only npc that doesn't exactly have a turn in (like others & the buildings do)...

Do you mean 'Magical Mycelium'? that's a literal building X.x

Im confused... So you said "any magic item" but that isnt true. Now you are saying X quest must be done? Which is it?

I havent come across a "Proto Manastone" yet and I am about 15 adventures in. Thats why I am asking. She has been in my town looking for a magic item for the whole time yet I have not seen one.

The case is closed... She wanted a ManaStone

the proto manstone is a unique quest only one, It looks like an enlarged blue pillow with a flathead fitting on it.

Funny thing is, you should get the 'proto manastone' pretty early on, heck it's the quest that leads to here giving you the the building blue prints. X.x

Glad ya got it done though, Best of luck to ya.

They really should make those items have their own color code so it doesnt get lost in the item collection, but it is what it is I guess... You too

Well that's stupid. For some reason she refused the manastone when I offered it to her, so I sold it. Does that mean it's just blocked forever?
