What I have so far and would appreciate it if folks could fill in the missing pieces/their triggers where possible:

Martial Monk Set (T'rukan):

• Cloth Garb: Goyen's Advice:Training:Steel Grip Against the Chest challenge
• Cloth Robe: Chapter 9:Sage of the Desert:Six Statues and the Beast:True Strength BOSS FIGHT quest step
• Cloth Gloves: Chapter 9:Sage of the Desert:Six Statues and the Beast:Path of the Disciple quest step
• Cloth Boots: (Same as Gloves ^)

Knight of Carnage Set (Gregor/Spear Boss)

• All parts are currently only available at the back alley vendor east of Demeniss City wall. (Maybe a bug/lapse as Ashen/Unyielding only have the Helm at the alley vendor, other parts are from quest/boss fight/challenges)
• [EDIT2] Quite a few folk have commented that the back-alley vendor does not have all the parts for them in comments here and (here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CrimsonDesert/comments/1un7mhj/what_challenge_for_knight_of_carnage_cloak/ ). No consensus on what the requirements/triggers are to have a full set spawn/be listed.

Given all the NSFW (Not Safe for Wagons) posts and videos of wagons spontaneously disintegrating posted here, I thought this guide might be useful for folk looking for more abyss artefacts/or plain completionists! (And also because the usual advice given for the `Contract of the Golden Crown` is something that will lead to more time sink/effort in the long run)

Text Version of the video:

• You want to be working on both the challenges (`Contract of the Golden Crown` & `Magnate of the Golden Desert`) simultaneously.
• The horse to be used is Rokade (for the 2 inventory/packaged goods slots vs all other horses)
• Find the guild post and the Royal trading post combinations for the `Crown` challenge.
• DO NOT simply teleport after stocking up the goods for the destination. Just ride the horse all the way as you will stack up the net traded(?) copper towards the 2nd challenge alongside.
• There is also a key item related to Oongka (The "Abacus"), so have him along in the party when buying up the goods and selling (Tbh I have not tested this if it actually works/impacts the buy/sell pricing or another item that is simply bugged)
• 7-8 trips across the 4 Royal Posts should more or less get the folk done with both these challenges.
• The game, at times, throws you easy mode trade routes like: the guild post right near Deleysia city selling what its Royal Palace post wants... Similarly with the one west of Deminiss selling what either Hernand/Deminiss Royal post wants.
• Yes, you can trade between the guild posts themselves, but the margin of % gains is always going to be higher for the same item at the Royal Post.

Text Version:

• The egg is behind the bismuth wall cave in the Wyvern's Cradle (Deleysia - WyvernFlames faction/Boss fight area)
• Pick up the egg and plant it in the nest
• Wait ~50 in-game minutes, and you get the prompt to hatch it
• New Pet

Does not seem to mount/sit on the character and just hovers - does make sense given the size

• If you had those missions running, they no longer show up at Ross/camp missions NPC post patch.
• If you start new ones after the patch - they take up the resources and the workers and "Start" but after you close out the NPC/mission window and reopen - they are no longer visible and only the "skill" worker seems to be free/non-dispatched.
• This ends up clogging up contribution workers/other camp workers in missions that are no longer visible/cancellable or even trackable in any manner!
