Those things aren't usually included in the game (at least they haven't in previous years) probably because of what you mentioned about them being added to all the time.
The answers to the daily riddles are the kinds of site features that don't change from day to day... (guess that's a pretty big clue all by itself).

Good luck..!

[quote=BobR]The answer is a specific Basilmarket page hinted at by the clue.
When you go to that page the game will give you credit for finding the page, cross out the clue and put the day's letter on the final puzzle, automatically.
You don't have to type anything in or anything, you just navigate to the page that answers the riddle.

The answer can be any page on Basilmarket, any forum, any Item page, any Skill page, any Monster page... any Basilmarket page.
You've just got to figure out what page the riddle is talking about.

It can help to start by using the top menu bar at the top of any Basil page and drop down the lists of the different things available on the site to get an idea of where it might be.
If you don't normally visit all the different areas on the site just seeing the list of what's available can really help.[/quote]

[quote=SANbounty]Has to do with something that starts with a "F."
I cannot say more.[/quote]

I literally clicked everything that remotely hinted "F"

Also, THE FIRST CLUE IS SO CONFUSING. DOES ANYONE HAVE A HINT THEY COULD GIVE ME TO HELP. LIKE WHAT CONNECTIONS CAN I MAKE OR IF I'M JUST OVERTHINKING IT.
