Sweet, thanks for the XL podcast!
Podcast feedback:
[0:47] There should apparently be an etheric/nonetheric version of each painting, but there
does seem to be some missing:
I'm either missing the connection to something we've found, or it is still unfound there. Perhaps the Phoenix counts as the sunset, but that seems more an offshoot of the moor than a separate thing.

[1:04] Very much agreed, Puyo's art keeps impressing me more and more. There are a handful of things with weird line weighs, eg. Gas Grenade technique. Incidentally, the Midgard Cap seems to be the only item left with the old (non-EKG) Midgard logo. (all images known to the wiki, sorted by creation date.)

The anniversary mirror broke the pattern of 2:1:2:1:2:1 coins for items, so a 3 coin crazy Novos item next would bring that back in line. (Really, I'm just looking for any excuse for a crazy Novos item…)
Random spading hints:
[For those that don't care about GenCon, skip to 38 minutes… and shame on you.]
[0:44] Implication that we can get Rending Smoke without Breathing Embers.
[1:15] There are a bunch of tags for techniques - neat to know. Eg. "Parry", "Gaze", etc.
[1:36] There's at least one more thing to be found from taking Eclipse, and a bunch more which may not be obvious that you can get from taking Eclipse [I'd guess this is referring to vine stuff???] I guess I'll resume my equipment testing.
[1:38] There's apparently a couple opponents who now give a message for gas grenade other than smoke dragon. Doesn't seem to be just checking the flying flag:
You toss a gas grenade at the eye, but it doesn't seem to be affected.
You toss a gas grenade at the phoenix, but the phoenix's powerful wings drive the gas right back at you.
You lob a gas canister at the bats. They inhale a bit of the gas and begin coughing hard, taking 5 damage internally.
(what else? Winged Hunter seems likely? Maybe the feathered cloak birds? Other fireworks dragons?)
[2:16] There are apparently 34ish special results for Mirror Gazing. We have 13 known with results other than XP. Even counting the ones that are just XP, seems like a bunch more to find.
[2:42] There's at least one undiscovered skill in the art gallery.
