Eloise Merryweather was introduced on October 16th, 2009. She is an NPC that can “Stitch” two clothing Items or Wands together. Stitching creates a new Item that has the appearance of one particular Item with the stats of another. Stitching costs 100 Crowns. She can also “Unstitch” Items back into their two original components for another 100 Crowns. Eloise can almost always be found standing next to Prospector Zeke.
Eloise also provides an “Equipment Shop” in each world, allowing Wizards to buy Hats, Robes, and Boots. These Items do not provide any type of stat boost, and are meant to compliment her Stitching service. She does not offer her Equipment Shop in Wysteria, but she does provide her Stitching services there.
Eloise is so happy to see Your Wizard, she hasn’t seen you since Karamelle. This strange exotic funny new space rock is… well… um… interesting? The Royal Museum was very excited to hear Eloise was going to this new… um… world? Actually, Eloise was looking forward to taking some time away from the road, but fate had other plans. She needs your help to document the strange exotic new plant, the Toadflax.
Linaria is a genus of almost 200 species of flowering plants, one of several related groups commonly called toadflax. They are annuals and herbaceous perennials, and the largest genus in the Antirrhineae tribe of the plantain family Plantaginaceae.
Several Linaria species are cultivated as garden plants, and some are regarded as having a weedy habit.
Common toadflax or butter-and-eggs (Linaria vulgaris), a European species which is widely introduced elsewhere and grows as a common weed in some areas.
Broomleaf toadflax or Dalmatian toadflax (Linaria genistifolia, syn. L. dalmatica), a native of southeast Europe that has become a weed in parts of North America.
Purple toadflax (Linaria purpurea), a species native to the Mediterranean region grown as a garden plant for its dark purple or pink flowers. The version with purple flowers can be mistaken for lavender. Spreads readily.
Pale toadflax (Linaria repens), a species from western Europe similar to L. purpurea, but with paler flowers.
Alpine toadflax (Linaria alpina), purple flowers with orange (or purple) lobes in the center.
Moroccan toadflax (Linaria maroccana), the flower has five lobes arranged into two lips with a spur at the end, often purple with white.
Closely related genera include Nuttallanthus (American toadflaxes, recently split from Linaria), Antirrhinum (snapdragons) and Cymbalaria (ivy-leaved toadflaxes).
