When will I see orange messages during the game?

Question

I noticed that sometimes I can see orange messages (not red...) on my screen when I am doing quests etc along with the white ones... When will I get those orange messages?

Answer 1

Well, short answer is: You will see orange messages whenever the game developers want you to.

I would classify orange messages into three categories:

1. Creature sounds: Messages emited by creatures.
2. Item sounds: Messages emited while using a certain item such as Christmas Card.
3. Messages triggered by different actions such as using a taming item on a creature.

Orange messages of type 3 may be part of quests or not. Since there are many of them, it would be too time consuming to try to make an exhaustive answer.
