Friendly Thursday Challenger: Som

Only now is important
Do not ask me more
Som is a diligent worker, and you would generally not find much to complain about. She has such a way with customers, acting in the moment with them and seeming to care deeply about their current needs. She has an eccentric way of speaking, she really does like a haiku! But you find yourself quite charmed by it, and make a visit simply to hear her poetry. When does a poem by Som not brighten your day?
You're not sure about her history, she doesn't seem to bring it up now that you think about it. You've maybe asked about her plans for the future, but she always brings the subject back to you! Did her eyes all flash red when you asked? You're not sure you remember correctly. Maybe you should try again? I'm sure she isn't going to get angry and be unlocked as a new challenger. Not unless you do something to REALLY set her off.

I really wish these opponents would drop weapons on the 5th win... since the donation presents don't contain any anymore would really like to see new weapons dropped by the challengers released this way and the cash shop ones. My weapon gallery is always hungry for more...:P
this worked for me.

You have defeated Som 11 times!
Thanks for the help everyone ^^ I had been discouraged for the past few challengers, still not sure how to unlock them.

You've found a Hidden Opponent! Som challenges you to a fight in the Battle Coliseum!
Yes that worked. I already had tried with candle and time items in inventory. But I had items with those names in my wardrobe so just put them on long enough to visit. ;)

I don't know how to make a spoiler tag, but I will say that mine was about as ridiculous, too. chuckles

Annnnd apparently I shouldn't type after midnight...
Fixed possible solution
Ignore the fact I mentioned the liquid shadow item, it should be - wear one item with "time" in the name and one with "candle" both at the same time. Say

.



@Jess - Well. seeing as it's not too difficult if I've gotten it right -
If any staff have other ideas about whether that should've been posted, please kill off this post with your edit powers.
Hint
Visit Som wearing two items that combined might freak them out, the loot descriptions should help.
Suspected solution
Visit Som wearing items with "time" and "candle" in their name at the same time (i.e. "Broken Flask of Liquid Shadow" and "Antique Candlesticks"). Pretty sure that's the solution having cross referenced all the HAs of people that have unlocked them.
What Jess said. I know the comment Weasel is talking about, but that was more Amber hoping to make one that took a little longer to figure out one day.

@Jess - Yeah, would definitely be putting anything in a spoiler. To be honest, thinking about it now and realising the challenger isn't 24 hours old yet, I'm slightly wary of giving possible solutions that soon. Could have sworn staff asked people to wait a few days on a previous challenger, or am I just imagining things?




Yeah, I managed to unlock them after noticing the other user's HA items, nice easy challenger for those of us with weedier pets.
I've got a pretty good idea of what might have unlocked it, can I share spoilers or is there a unwritten rule on leaving it X amount of time before giving a solution?

Okay, there are very few places we can interact by writing something, so I just tried one of them. I wrote "Som future" and fed it to Oatmeal.
Yeah, it was silly and desperate and I knew it wouldn't work.

The present is important, she doesn't want to talk about the future and we know nothing of her past. Yet somehow I can't help but going back to the haiku part. Is there a way for us to mess around with haiku's?

Idk if anyone tried, but I tried going with watch/clock items in my inventory to her shop[/spoiler

Maybe something involving

the Oracle? Like having a quest and visiting Five Seven Five
maybe we have to ask her something over and over again like we aren't listening which would make her angry enough to challenge you .... she will lose her patience then and maybe challenge us
in time all things will come to those who wait ... so be patient and in time she will get mad and then when you buy something she will finally challenge you ... just a guess is all

I like that I learned a bit about Som but I want to know her story so you guys should put her in the npc shopkeepers list.

forgot these
Also tried setting my computer clock ahead/behind by an hour, and also by a year. Other than making my google account freak out it didn't scare her much.

No luck so far. T_T
I've tried wearing clocks, playing with clocks, deleting clocks, playing with candles, deleting candles, reading pets a calendar.. reading history books! Nothing works so far. I've tried impatiently re-loading her shop.. now I'm trying to just leave the shop page open.. maybe if I waste enough time she'll get angry with me XD haha. Anyone else having any more luck?
Just also tried wearing specifically a watch, not a clock - no luck. Also no luck wearing ONLY a watch. haha. XD

It's nice they're bringing attention to shops/keepers that don't get much attention, but just wondering when the fabric shop in the same market will get some love. There hasn't been any new clothing items or colors for ages.


In her store she mentions having Patience, but the only items with the word "patience" are CWs... Hmmm....
