I thought for a minute that, 'mouth but never speaks' might be a jug.

Cultr got my riddle correct. Wahoo.

Here's another one. This one's a tad bit easier.
The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it. What is it?

I'll use spoilers to make it shorter on the page unless they are all opened. Much easier to scroll down to the next one.
Water isn't an element
According to the ancient philosophers, water, fire, earth and air are elements, and those are the elements in Quest for Glory 2. Wonder how ancient those philosophers were.

I wasn't talking about your riddle Shane.
Sorry about that. Quoting the riddle that is being answered to should make me know when my riddle is answered, and when somebody elses' is.

Q U E S T F O R G L O R Y B I S L I K E B Q U E S T F O R G L O R I E S
16-12-5-1-19-5 4-15-14 20 21-19-5 19-9-13-16-12-5 25-5-1-18 15-12-4 7-9-18-12-25 3-15-4-5-19 20-8-1-20 3-1-14 2-5 5-14-3-15-4-5-4 1-14-4 4-5-3-15-4-5-4 23-9-20-8 12-9-20-20-12-5 20-15 14-15 5-6-6-15-18-20 5-22-5-18 20-8-5-25 1-18-5 10-21-19-20 14-15-20 3-15-15-12
Half correct. I also said it was tricky. It's not QUEST FOR GLORY B IS LIKE B QUEST FOR GLORIES. The 2 that was alone remains the same. So, the answer is Quest for Glory 2 is like 2 Quest for Glories, with the 2 staying like that.
As for that code, Please don't use simple year old girly codes that can be encoded and decoded with little to no effort ever they are just not cool.
Sorry for that, I couldn't find the pages which had a lot of riddles. But I'll obey. I will no longer use such codes, although if I ever do so again, I will quickly change it into something different as soon as humanly possible.

Here is my next riddle:
If it is dead, it is alive. If it is alive, it is dead. What is it?
If it doesn't make sense, I translated it from Afrikaans to English (a teacher asked me this riddle two years back). Anyone who answers the riddle should quote it so that I can know if it is my riddle that's been answered. Don't want a similar mistake happening again, since I thought that cultr answered teeth for my riddle, but meanwhile it was for Cave Story's riddle.

Cultr got my riddle correct. Wahoo. Here's another one. This one's a tad bit easier.
The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it. What is it?
A sarcophagus or a casket.

I thought for a minute that, 'mouth but never speaks' might be a jug.
Was that my first riddle?

Pretty long post without spoilers. Probably long enough to go to the next page.

It's silence, without thinking.

Yeah, I forgot about promise, but silence is correct too. The hint I'm going to give is a riddle too, but it's easy.
Riddle:
If it is dead, it is alive. If it is alive, it is dead. What is it?
Hint:
If you count Z as 1, what would 24 be?
The answer is the hint of the first letter.

EDIT:
Z - W = ?
One short riddle becomes long. Think of those letters as numbers, then the answer of that is the first letter of the main riddle. If that helps, then it's a good thing.

I made this one up myself (there's a chance you'll get this one better if you've just been excercising):

I am not a tangible object, yet you can take me by performing physical action,
if I am made, then I was taken first,
I am always taken, but not always made,
it is wisest only to take me if you're confident you can make me.
What am I?
Anyone wanna guess?

Money, or some other form of value.

Air?

Riddle:
If it is dead, it is alive. If it is alive, it is dead. What is it?
Hint:
If you count Z as 1 and A as 26, what would 24 be?
Could anyone answer this one? I made the hint easier now as well...

Nope. Air is technically tangible since it is an assimilation of particles, and it's taken AFTER it's made.

Riddle:
If it is dead, it is alive. If it is alive, it is dead. What is it?

Sea?

Okay. What about breathing?
No, unfortunately not sea. Here is my main riddle:
If it is dead, it is alive. If it is alive, it is dead. What is it? C_____
And the helping riddle:
If you count Z as 1 and A as 26, what would 24 be? It would be C (A = 26, B = 25, C = 24, etc). Thus the answer to the main riddle begins with the letter C. And I'll add another clue: six letters.

EDIT: And it ends on the same letter that my name ends on. Another clue should make it easy to answer. Any more and I may as well give the answer, so I'll keep the rest of the letters secret until the answer is correctly given.

SECOND EDIT:
Is this topic dead?

What dreams of red, mines gold in veins, makes a good stew, and always complains?
