Recent shoppers visiting Wyren's merchant Cale (presently assigned to the open market while the Alchemy Hut is undergoing "renovations" until November 30th) may have noticed that I've delivered on Wyren's promise on the bulletin boards: The Alchemist's Gold lottery, in which I've done what I think is a clever thing by turning those wax-sealed letters into quasi-medieval scratch-off tickets. Most of Wyren's wax-sealed letters have been found while adventuring (so they're free), and wax and ink aren't all that costly considering how much use you can get out of them. The tickets cost around 6 to 10 Talons each (depending on your Appraise mojo), the lowest prize is 100 Talons and the odds of winning a prize are around 1 in 20, so Wyren's lottery should be able to remain profitable unless someone completely lucks out and picks up all two or three winners without picking any losers (and good luck with that; I think I did a pretty good job mixing the winners into the pool). ;)

But, per Hazlok's counsel, Wyren might need to chat with the Tharchion's office to see if she has the privilege or permission to run this lottery in the first place. How would Wyren and I go about doing that? :-/
