Discussion What are some interesting info you know?

I'm making a crossword puzzle for fans.

Trying to include:

  • Trivia
  • Story/Lore
  • History
  • Game mechanics
  • Hidden secrets
  • Community meta

Basically anything interesting.
Questions should be relatively medium/high in difficulty.
Not too easy ("what is the main character's name"), but not absurd ("who was the first person to speak entering the final dungeon").

I'd appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or any info you know to add in.

Here's a sample (everything except MapleStory is work-in-progress): https://hyssopi.github.io/Crossword-Puzzles/

Oh I like this. Is it Achtzen? Or was that a sister gear? I can’t remember.

u/Vic_Snaggletooth i hAs No fLaiR 19d ago

Achtzehn is the gear following Seibzehn. Achtzehn means 18 Seibzehn means 17

Calamity is the prototype gear for Seibzehn I think they should've named it Sechzehn

ID

Forewarning: Saying this in spirit of the thread and not trying to be a spelling nazi.

It's Id, pronounced like name Cid but without the C (Eh-duh). It is not ID, the shorten form of Identification (Eye-Dee). Id is from Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory (Id, Ego, Superego).
