#### The Rube

How can I meet him? Is it a random chance, or..?
I haven't seen him once in my time playing Glitch!

- Meeting him natually is just random, but you can also use Essence of Rubeweed to call him once per gameday!

- That requires potionmaking, right?
  Yeah I don't have that skill, lol. Thank you for the information though!

- There also upgrade cards which increase the probability of the Rube visiting you.

- My butler Spartacus also gives out Rubeweed if you want to visit him

- Essence of Rubeweed isn't potion, but a tincture - hence, it requires Tincturing. And there are probably people selling that tincture, if you want to try it out.

- And now we know what the Rube's home street looks like. It would be fun to be able to go there and try to get a trade with him (once per day, naturally).

- Reezy, you dont need potiomaking to use it though. You can find it to buy in auctionhouses or towers:)

- I didnt' know who/what he was... I thought I could go back to the first offer... I was wrong and he went away. #sadface

- Yeah, he's a little bit confusing at first. I've hit "no thanks" a couple of times, which dismisses him without going to the next offer.
  Note that the Rube is the only way to create dolls that I know of, but they are very rare. So, the two logical strategies are don't accept anything but a doll and accept the first good trade he offers (something valuable for something low-value).
  It won't be your last chance to encounter him. (You can get him any time with a Rubeweed tincture (made with a Ticturing Kit from harvested Rubeweed and distilled Hooch.)
  Note that you must use it in Ur (the world, not in a housing street).

- He only appears to you when you change locations, in Ur not home streets, so the more public areas you visit, the greater the chance of seeing him.

- I was bored one day, so I used a rubeweed tincture per game day consecutively. In the end Rube refused to trade with me... He said something about his mistress waiting at home and disappeared on me a couple of times.
