LotS/Riddle Master Item Hunt
The Riddle Master is a "mysterious and possibly insane figure" who periodically challenges the community to crack his (or her) riddles in order to obtain the components used to craft certain lab experiments. The playerbase does not know who creates the Item Hunts or whether they are the work of a single person or are the product of several 5th Planet developers.
Riddle-solving is a community affair. Multiple players post theories and possible solutions to the 5PG forums. The first person on each platform to complete the Item Hunt by crafting the new experiment item is memorialized with a future in-game item.
The start to each set of riddles appears on the component items required to complete the Experiment. These initial clues are almost always encrypted and in many cases, lead to additional clues. The riddle solutions direct the player to equip certain items and attack a specific raid. Raid difficulty does not matter. The chance to obtain a particular component is sometimes very low, so persistence is the key to obtaining some of the more elusive Riddle Master items.
The table below contains basic information for each Item Hunt. Follow the "Hunt Info" link for information on how to obtain specific components for each lab experiment.
