@Tahki - There is a maxon how much bonus protection you gain. Look at your buffs page to see it. you raise the max by adding levels to mysticism(gained mainly through shop book about mysticism).
@knottyproof - there are 3 chests behind the shops, 1 in the area with the cows, 1 next to your starting position, 1 in the tavern(go right from the main area), and 4 in the abandoned house.
@theone123 - arena doesn't open till you fight in the young mages tournament. As for unfair... NPC's are idiots. Many NPC's cannot use the best skills properly, and can never seem to use the instant kill skills. After you learn more of the higher magics, and clan magics you will easily beat anything your lvl or below.
@earl3 - The wallet is found in the first screen of Rock Lake. Look in the tent for the hidden chest(also note that all buildings outside town have a hidden chest you can "steal" from).
@Coradon- As for the wishing well... I think it should be more by the amount you spend. I can spend 80k or 250k and yet still end up with 3 energy, all within the same lvl.
The circle of tree stumps are a giant clock. You have to solve each piece of the riddle for the number as they seem to vary by the person. A simple tip... If you can't fiqure it out, guess. The stump turns green if your right, and all turn brown if your wrong. Reset by walking on then off screen. 3 green stumps = Win.
Better than the first in the fact of day instead of seconds limit. You need to make more upgrades though... I had over 1M in coins in the end, and nothing else to buy.

@crusher2110... The riddle of: Some months have 30 days and some 31, but how many have 28 days? The answer is 12, as all months have 28 days, even if they don't end with 28.
