Some is right...two places to look, one a familiar source and one an original source.

Yeah Right! Do you KNOW just how many roads that we have been down, how many pages we have checked, how many...etc, My brain is mush at this point, so POINT me in the right direction of those MANY things we looked at! Micci

I figured that the 'under construction' site would eventually have more. Turns out that is true - same place as last time's source- but a new smoking gun added to that old source. At end of smoking gun, there is a familiar sign.... :)

I followed the clues here and got the Mark of the Thirteenth. Is the broken gear there too?

So the Mark of the Thirteenth has nothing to do with The Watchmaker's coded documents, but does have to do with his clue?

Thirteenth is probably also referenced in his coded documents, along with who knows what other info...that's why I'm dying to break this code!

Yes, Broken Gear is in there too. Same method as the First Watchmaker achievement...forget the name but you know it's in Rochrach's excellent list!

Not a name :)

It's a word/number combo.

I got it by looking under the new smoking gun.

Is Mark of the Marquis a new achievement? I'm seeing it go by on the Recent Achievements list.

Thats just it, I think that I am in the WRONG place, I am in the document that I got the 13th from, is that the wrong one? I already tried Watchmaker, did not see anything, Hell, I am surprised I can THINK at this poing, I am tired. Micci

You're in the right place. Keep your eyes lowered and your head down, and maybe you'll see it pop up outta nowhere. :)

You're in the right document. Look at the the last set of notes in the document. No look at the source in the same place.

Read the text and check with Watchmaker to see what you're looking for. The text of Broken Gear has the answers in plaintext without a need to decipher the previous document.

Still Lost, What Is It On The Watchmaker That I Have To Look At?

Look under the text of the "Further Information" entry to look for the usual "hint" about the code.

I found the right place but I still can't find it on the other site!!

The mark of the thirteenth is on the same page as the broken gears, right?

not exactly. The broken gear is under the page with the mark of the 13th. It's a narrative achievement; ya gotta read.

[edit] technically the 13th is on the same page as the broken gear. it's just plain reading that will get you this one, tho.
