Buying drinks at taverns gives you a chance to learn about any rumors, based on your Gossip skill (or your Companion's Gossip Skill, if higher).

- First rumor heard: general region, e.g. Northern Varsilia, Eastern Mercia, Wildlands.
- Second rumor heard: single map, e.g. Northwest Sagar Forest, Thyr Ridges etc.
- Third rumor heard: location in the map. southwest corner by the hills, -or- the dungeon in the map.
- Fourth rumor heard: location inside the dungeon (if applicable), e.g. In Groz Lair, to the northwest.
Note: Rumor bosses can spawn behind secret doors, and will appear even if you don't know about them. That can lead to some unexpected surprises as you stumble across a Rumor Boss unexpectedly.

Location Notes
Random encounters are most frequently found on roads between cities. The road from Rhöneis to Nivarian always has two random encounters, so if you are looking for a specific random encounter, this is a good place to check.
Rumor Bosses can appear on world maps, or in dungeons. This includes appearing behind secret doors you haven't discovered yet.
Rumor Conflict
The game has several types of rumors. Rumors about Rumor bosses, rumors about Town Hall Quests, Rumors that give small hints about quests, and rumors that just offer background to the game. Sometimes you can use up your Gossip time learning about rumors that aren't important. This is especially true if you're on a Town Hall Quest with a tight deadline.
