Kingdom of Amalur: Inventory Bug

A lot of folks are finding items in their inventory (often an armor set but occasionally individual or quest items) that are stuck.  They can't be removed, junked, destroyed, put in stash, etc.  Essentially they lock up those inventory slots.  I've found this that says the developers are planning a patch to fix quest problems and bugs like this but there's no date on when it will appear other than "the next couple of weeks."

Kingdom of Amalur: How Many Factions?

Apparently there are six, listed here, with background lore.  Follow the links for full information.
http://reckoning.amalur.com/en/r/game/factions

You may only see five factions listed in places such as this guide.  That is because House of Valor is a download available free to purchasers of the new game only.
http://www.gamesradar.com/kingdoms-amalur-reckoning-factions-guide/

Purchasers of used versions of the game may purchase the download.

Kingdom of Amalur: Finding Crudok

They aren't easy to find, particularly when the inarticulate are pointing the way.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/991143-kingdoms-of-amalur-reckoning/61943371

Please note that the Crudok near the Widow's Castle (also known as Castle Yovan) respawns.  The Solo MMO player killed it there earlier before he was hunting Crudok and killed it there twice more after he was hunting them.  After the spawn point between the main castle and battlement wall, run along the battlement wall.  It will pop up from underground if you trigger it by running over the right spot.

Coming out of the Hollowlands at the point of entrance to Menetrye, a Crudock and two spiders will spawn per the Solo MMO Player (Aggressive Brownies is the prior quest given by the same guy.)

The Solo MMO Player found another Crudock which you have to kill during the quest The Brownie Den which is the second par of a two part quest line you get from Sihtric Vorn.

Kingdom of Amalur: Removing Curses

How do you remove curses?  The only way is to go to a healer.  Purification potions don't seem to remove curses.

Kingdom of Amalur Interactive Map

An interactive map with towns, dungeons, landmarks, etc. posted.  This is a fan built map that isn't complete.  It's too early for that.

The Clock for Kingdom of Amalur

How can you tell how much time has passed in the game?  There is an in-game clock visible when you open your inventory, under the health/fate/mana bars but above your gold count.  It shows days and the hour and whether it is a.m. or p.m.
http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/50449/does-it-matter-how-many-days-have-passed

Can you change the clock?  Doesn't look like it but we're still experimenting.
