Default pixie pickings

well, it was a nice day to be in the water even though there is nothing of value to show for it. One day the pixies favor you with some fine pickings and the next day they put this in your scoop.

Man, those pixies are fickle! They probably want to make you work for the next one! Hi-ho! Hi-ho, it's off to work you go!

Default pixies

Ohh - pixies - they are a strange lot! Now i can’t tell you a lot about them as i have not had a long relationship with them. But, this i can tell you - they seem to be as peculiar as we humans are. They have their ways - and they do not seem to be consistent. They seem to take great delight in being jokesters - which is something that frustrates/aggravates me.
As to what pixies look like - this is also hard to exactly say. They are very small and kind of effervescent. They are pleasing in appearance and count both the land and waters as part of their stomping grounds. This is different from sprites who just habit the water and elves who just stay on the ground. Now sprites are totally ambivalent about us detectors + our quest. But elves - they are greedy. They hoard gold +silver - that is why dry sand detecting yields so little booty. As for the pixies - they can either help you or - what this depends on - i do not really know.
Well, i am sure that this does not help you too much - but this is all i can tell you about the pixies at this time.
Donald
ps - how you speak to them - that you will have to find out by yourself

I think they just don't want you to get complacent, and let you know who's in charge, they'll never let you figure them out .
