Well this may be a long shot, and Ollie's comments probably are just for taunting us until TNT decides to settle our curiosity about the nothing-to-do-but-read-comic plot thus far, however I was also reminded of the headless meepit and money going into a piggy bank for parts of the Altador plot. So, if they are clues, I almost suspect they are hinting toward our need to figure the Chef Bonju avatar to possibly advance in the plot?
I've thought alot about this as well.
Two options are possible here:
1. The attainment of the avatar happens when a step is completed which also happens to be a step in advancing into the plot.
2. The avatar, or attainment thereof, are subsidiary to the plot and performing the actions required to attain the avvie are not required to advance in the plot.
If #1 is true, we have to examine possible ways of attaining the avvie.
a. The prime assumption is that it will be attained with a successful mixing in the cooking pot. If #1 is TRUE, then the items we need to mix will HAVE to be readily available, or cheap, or free, as I don't see TNT throwing up a major expense as a roadblock to participating in the plot. It simply wouldn't be fair to users with little/no NP to block them out so early.
b. What are other possibilities for attaining the avvie that do not concern the cooking pot? Visiting orange blumaroos, etc. (which I understand has been done, at least casually, to no effect.)
If #2 is true, then either the plot has not yet begun (from an interactive stand point) or the avatar search has derailed everyone's attention from what we are supposed to be finding.
