If you are a gambler and curious about how lucky you can be, try that little game out and you will maybe win lots of useful items.
Rules
The rules are simple: just tell Ricardo if you want to play, pay the stake (costs see above), and throw the dice on the table. The higher the sum of the upper faces is, the nicer will be your prize.

Wishing well

Participants
There aren't any npcs involved, only the fortune of the challengers
Location
Wishing wells are positioned all over the huge world of Faiumoni
Stack
30 money/wish
Short introduction
Quoted from wikipedia.org:

A wishing well is a term from European folklore to describe wells where it was thought that any spoken wish would be granted. The idea that a wish would be granted came from the idea that water housed deities or had been placed there as a gift from the gods, since water was a source of life and often a scarce commodity. (...)

As you can read here, the story of wishing wells goes back to a time in which mystical legends and strong belief in magical things took place. The habit of throwing money into wells is still popular in our times. That is why some people are thinking about their wishes before throwing some money into the water. Although you can not speak your wishes out to the well here, you can be very lucky and find some nice items which you can use later on your huntings and adventures.
Rules
The only rule you have to follow is: stay patient while doing a wish in front of a well... It needs some seconds to find out, if you were lucky and find something useful or if you weren't successful that time.
