UNLEARN HELP
ARTISAN UNLEARN HELP displays information on how to unlearn artisan ranks.
- Messaging
Unlearning is the method by which your character will forget a learned skill in order to learn a new one. This is done because there is a limit to the number of skill ranks a player can learn in GemStone's Artisan Guild System.
The current limit is set to the maximum of 1200 ranks. Since there are 500 ranks in a single skill, you are allowed to master two skills and dabble in another as well. This doesn't mean you have to only master and dabble. You can spend your 1200 ranks as you see fit.
The exception to the 1200 rank limit is forging. Because crafting and the weapon types are different skills, all of which are intrinsically combined, players can master either ALL of the ranks within forging (Crafting, Brawling, One-Handed Edged, One-Handed Blunt, Pole Arms, and Two-Handed Weapons) at the expense of 1000 of their ranks, or instead, learn Crafting and any two weapon types at the expense of 500 of their allotted 1200 ranks. The remaining ranks can be used to test other skills or however the player sees fit.
When you attempt to gain a new rank, the Artisan Guild system first checks if you're able to and reacts based on that check.
- If you are under your rank allotment, you learn with no problems.
- If you are at your rank limit, you will not be able to learn further without an unlearning preference set. If you have an unlearning preference set, you will lose the necessary rank in order to gain a rank in the new skill you're working on.
- If you are over your set number of ranks, you will be thrown into a forced unlearning where you will unlearn skills at an accelerated rate to bring you back in line with our current Artisan Guild limit. If you have a preference, it will take from that skill first. Lacking that preference set, you will lose skill ranks in the Artisan Guild skill that is currently the lowest.
Lastly, to set your unlearning preference, you would type:
ARTISAN UNLEARN SET {SKILL}
where {SKILL} is:
COBBLING FLETCHING FORGING-BRAWLING
FORGING-CRAFTING FORGING-OHE FORGING-OHB
FORGING-PA FORGING-THW MINING
NONE SMELTING
