Last ingredient for me

[Hbech]

The silver moon.  I read a hint asking about how to get it from someone who could make it but I've talked to someone who is good at crafting stuff  but get no options to make it. This is the last ingredient I need! Help!

Have you tried asking him by showing him something from your inventory?

[Wyrenth]

I've managed to show him what I need made, he's just taking his sweet old time about making it.

I've taken a tour of all the islands, sat around listening to the fine music, and he still keeps griping that he needs more time.

How long does it take?  I'm guessing he's triggered by an event instead, just haven't been able to find the event.

(Addendum) Well, two trips around the isles, I'm still stumped. I also haven't found whose...

Spoiler (mouse over to reveal):

hair to cut with the shears (haven't met any strong men except maybe Saladin, and I don't think his strength is tied to his hair)

or

Spoiler (mouse over to reveal):

whose voice to capture; I presume Cassima, but Sing Sing is an option... neither seem to work.

So I'm guessing that neither of these are events that make the blacksmith finish since I can't complete them.

I think it's taking long because you need to do more in the game... But as far as the voice and the hair goes, hum, you've got 2 prime quality subjects that are inanimate and [spoiler]will no doubt let you temper with their hairdo/ take their voice....

[Wyrenth]

Spoiler (mouse over to reveal):

Huh. Didn't think to use that on him, since it didn't seem his strength was linked to his hair.

As for the voice... Inanimate people don't talk much, but I'll keep looking for a handy victim.

Wyrenth--

Spoiler (mouse over to reveal):

read the books in Ali's bookstore and you'll both find out why you wanted Alex's hair, and what you might need to do to get the voice.

[maudell]

Only look if you're super desperate on who the 'female and male subjects' are....

Spoiler (mouse over to reveal):

Graham's children!  That's what I mean by inanimate. When you get the princess' voice, you must put the (magic) flower in the shell to capture it

[Wyrenth]

Katie's reminder did the trick. I'd already been there, and it all snapped in place once I remembered what I'd read.

Thanks!

Any hints on

how to get the salt from the sea water in the animated cup?

[drunkenmonkey]

Spoiler (mouse over to reveal):

Have you tried evaporating the water somehow.

I was afraid of setting the little guy on fire but I'll try that.
