Guide to Answering Sayge

Here is a chart of the buffs with answers you need to give to get them.

NOTE: Upon entering TK raid instance this buff disappeared for me and some others. Be warned it may do it for others, but more testing is needed. Tested in SSC - Buff vanishes non entry. Seems like a non-raid buff. Possibly works for PVP. (Buff also vanishes when entering ICC.)
