Default Riddle Competition [Farewell to GW]

Free Stuff!

Well, after 2 years of Guild Wars I'm moving on. The thrill is no longer there; it's getting boring.
So, I'm giving away many of my possessions (keeping some in case GW2 lures me back) through a riddle
contest. It's fairly simple: there are prizes of money and packs of golds/items/minis etc.

Prize One + Pack One: 100k + 10 items [Won by Rekiara Malevu]
Prize Two + Pack Two: 50k + 10 items
Prize Three + Pack Three: 25k + 10 items


So there will be three winners and each one will receive a prize!
How do you get these prizes? Solve one of my riddles.
First person to PM me an answer gets first prize, second gets second prize etc.

Each riddle will be posted when the previous riddle has been solved. The riddles don't differ too much in difficulty, so solve fast!

RIDDLE ONE - SOLVED BY REKIARA MALEVU
*this riddle I borrowed from a friend*

avem vu khehyas ard ce dyrf?

Answer Format: [number][consonant][number] eg. 8g1
CLUE ADDED: "My cousin is called Al. Where does he sleep?"
Just think laterally/outside the box.
To prevent people from googling the question and copying/pasting the result I require an explanation of how you reached the answer.

Onto number two!


RIDDLE TWO - SOLVED BY MENDEZ256
Origin: Unknown
Destination: Pluto
During the journey I approach Neptune but in a universe of change, I am one.
What am I?

CLUE: The answer is not necessarily an object (such as a car) but may be a concept (such as love)
CLUE #2: The wording of the riddle is a red herring. Think of the riddle as a "my first is, my second is etc.


EXAMPLE:
My first is in grin but not gin (letter r)
My second starts an igloo (letter i)
My third finishes the sun (letter n)
My last is in gin but not in (letter g)
Answer: RING

RIDDLE THREE - SOLVED BY KYOMI TACHIBANA
Word One:
Oscar/Charlie/Papa/Echo/Papa/Romeo

Word Two:
What am I?
I am inside your body
I am an Olympic Sport
I am a part of a musical instrument
What am I?

Word Three:
Plural of a pronoun!

This riddle is similar to the last one. The answer is a three-word phrase/name/description etc. and you have been given specific clues for each word. The final answer is related to the Guild Wars Universe!

Yeah, once I give the first/second clue it becomes relatively easy (that's from my point of view though!!)

Ah, ok.
Basically, the answer can be expressed in that format: [number][consonant][number].
Similar to how the word twenty can be expressed as 20.

Please DO NOT post answers in this thread. Not only does it clutter it, but it may give away your answer to others.

PM Only.

Also, random guessing won't work...there are over 6700 possible combinations lol

Yes, but no random guesses.
To prevent people from googling the question and copying/pasting the result I require an explanation of how you reached the answer.

Yes it is. The phrase I supplied is a question. The answer to the question can be expressed in that format.

Think about it.

What do you mean laterally is up and down? Where did you go to school man? Vertical is up and down hence the term Vertical Leap, it's not called the Lateral Leap.
