Weight reduction

2026-04-15T01:11:14Z

ATHIAS: Added Raikhen cost for 61-80% of 250lb container

Weight reduction is a service applied to containers which reduces the [[encumbrance|weight]] of items carried within the container. It is typically available at [[Rumor Woods]]. Weight reduction is applied to the contents of the container individually; a container which can hold 200 pounds and has 20% weight reduction will apply that 20% weight reduction to each item in the container rather than holding the first 40 pounds weightlessly.

'''Note''': The weight reduction applied to a container applied only to the portion of the container's capacity that existed at the time of the service. For example, if you apply a 20% weight reduction to a container with 100lbs of capacity, and then you deepen the container to 200lbs of capacity, the 20% weight reduction will apply only to the first 100lbs. In this scenario, a loresong on the container will recall that the container will reduce the weight of items by "20% for the first 100lbs".

'''Tip''': Herb kits are a more popular choice than loot sacks. Smaller containers which remain mostly full will benefit more from this style of weight reduction than large, mostly empty containers.

==Rumor Woods Cost==

Weight reduction at Rumor Woods is purchased at [[RWShop:Couturier's Retreat|Couturier's Retreat]] from the seamstress in increments of 1% reduction per purchase. Asking about {{boldmono|[[APPRAISE]]}} with a container in hand will give you an estimate on the [[raikhen]] cost to apply 1% to that container. The cost is based on the carrying capacity of the container and its current level of weight reduction, with sharp price increases every 20%.

Lich:Software/Installation

2026-04-04T16:54:33Z

ATHIAS: /* Fedora */ Updated Zip extracted Directory

{{3rd-party}}
=About=

Lich is an add-on scripting engine that works alongside existing front ends. The most common installation is a combination of Lich on Windows using the Wrayth or Wizard FE. Lich is also used by many on both MacOS and multiple Linux distributions.

=Installing the Latest Stable Release=

'''The latest stable lich version is 5.15.1 supporting Ruby 4.0 - published March 16, 2026'''

==In-Place Upgrade==

If you are on an older version of Lich 5 and want to upgrade to the most current version, you can choose to either upgrade Lich5 only or both Lich 5 and Ruby. If you're currently on Lich 4, able to check by running the command <CODE>;e echo LICH_VERSION</CODE>, go to the [[#Upgrade Installation for Lich 5 from Lich 4 (11/14/2023)|upgrade from Lich 4 section]].

For each section, please follow the directions/commands one at a time.

===Lich 5 Only===

====Lich 5.7 or newer====
# '''Backup existing Lich 5 folder'''
# Run this command in-game <CODE>;lich5-update --update</CODE>
# Quit and restart lich.
# Congratulations - you're now running on the latest version of Lich!

====Lich 5.6 or older====
Please proceed to updating both Ruby and Lich 5

===Both Ruby 4.0 & Lich 5===
This method is for Windows only. Linux and MacOS users, please do a Lich 5 only update and update Ruby manually via normal install/update methods for the OS.

# Logout of all characters
# '''Backup existing Lich 5 folder'''
# Uninstall existing Ruby4Lich5 installs from Programs & Features control panel, or alternatively, rename your existing Ruby4Lich5 folder to Ruby4Lich5save. (Defaults to C:\Ruby4Lich5)
# Download the latest [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer]
# Run the installer and be sure to have both Ruby and Lich 5 option selected
# Congratulations - you're now running on the latest version of Lich & Ruby!

===Ruby 4.0 Only===
Use this to upgrade to the newest version of Ruby only if you're already on the latest version of Lich5 and now want to update Ruby afterwards. If you're not already on the latest version of Lich5, please use previous section steps instead.
# Logout of all instances/characters
# '''Backup existing Lich 5 folder'''
# Uninstall your existing Ruby4Lich5 install via Programs & Features (ensure it's now gone, default location was C:\Ruby4Lich5)
# Download the latest [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer]
# Run the new installer and choose to only install Ruby Only
# Congratulations - you're now running on the latest version Ruby!

==Windows New Installation==

{{blue|These instructions are not for DragonRealms. [[#Ecosystem Information|For those scroll to the bottom]].}}

'''For Windows 11 / 10 / 8 / 7''' users: you can download the [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer] and install everything you need automatically. Click on the '''Ruby4Lich5.exe''' and download it to your computer then double click on the executable in your default download folder. Note, a user may need to adjust their browser or security settings to allow download and installation.
If you have never played before, follow the 'New Installation' instructions. If you have played before, and have used Lich before, follow the 'Upgrade Installation' instructions.

===New Installation for Lich 5 (11/14/2023)===

# '''Please log into the game of your choice through the Simutronics website first'''. Install the launcher (not SGE), and install your FrontEnd of Choice. The Wrayth FrontEnd is presently the supported FrontEnd, but Wizard will work as well, if you are nostalgic. After you've logged in, log out and continue.
# Download and Run the [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer]. You will receive the Microsoft Warning because this is not distributed through the MS Store. Click on 'More Info' and then select the 'Run Anyway' button.
# The installation may take a few minutes, especially on non-SSD harddrives.
# A Lich5 folder will be placed on your desktop after the install is finished, open that folder and double click the lich.rbw file contained inside to start Lich's Game Entry window.
# Use your existing Simutronics Account and Password and click connect. Then select the character you wish to play, and select the FrontEnd you wish to use. Then click the Play button.
# Your game FrontEnd should start, and you should see Lich5 initializing. You will see it downloading files - these are the map files, wait for the download to finish.

===Upgrade Installation for Lich 5 from Lich 4 (11/14/2023)===

This option is deprecated. Lich 5 architectures are not compatible with Lich 4. Back up your existing Lich 4 folder, uninstall any existing Ruby executables, and then follow the instructions for a new install above.

Additional assistance in installation can be found in the scripting channel of the GemStone [https://discord.gg/KF9Wr8u Discord].

==MacOS==
There two common options for playing Gemstone IV on a Mac is either to play natively with Avalon or to use virtualization software such as Parallels with Wrayth/WizardFE. Below are the options on how to do that.

===Native Avalon===
Players with Macs can use [[Mac_Installation_-_Lich_(software) | Installing Lich on Macs]] for installation help. This process works well for Mac OS Catalina and Big Sur. If you have not updated your Mac OS yet, these instructions may work depending on your actual version. If you run into a snag, follow the contact instructions provided.

===Parallels Windows===
With the latest releases of Ruby4Lich5 installer, you can now follow the normal Windows installation for both Intel and Apple silicon based Apple computers.

To install Wrayth/WizardFE, Lich, and Ruby via Parallels you will need to do a few various steps as outlined below. Please note, the rubyw file in C:\Ruby4Lich5\X.X.X\bin may be set to run in compatibility mode for windows 7. On an ARM Mac running parallels, this may causes Wrayth scripts not to run. Turning compatibility mode off in the rubyw file could fixe this issue if it was enabled.

The following steps are to be done AFTER you've successfully installed Wrayth/WizardFE and can login normally without Lich5 on the machine. Once you've done that and can successful connect normally, then follow these steps:
# Download and install [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer] and use default options presented during install
# Double click the lich.rbw file that is now located in the extracted Lich5 location you did above. Login and play as usual.

==Chromebook & Debian variants==
<div class="mw-customtoggle-debian" style="font-size:16px;overflow:auto;color:#0000FF">[Click to Expand]</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-debian">
The following steps should install Lich and Profanity for users of Debian/Chromebooks. Profanity is a terminal-based Front-End that will let you play the game (in lieu of The Wizard or Wrayth).

Update the list of available software and make sure some requirements are installed:

<pre>
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y install autoconf bison build-essential curl libssl-dev libyaml-dev libreadline6-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm6 libgdbm-dev libsqlite3-dev git unzip
</pre>

Install '''<tt>[https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv rbenv]</tt>''', a Ruby version manager. Add it to the <tt>PATH</tt> so that it will work outside of its own directory, and set it up to work when you launch the shell (terminal):
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
</pre>

Run the shell's launch script now to enable those two changes and get rbenv working:
<pre>
source ~/.bashrc
</pre>

Download the tools to let rbenv install Ruby on its own, then install Ruby 3.4.4 and set it to be our default version of Ruby system-wide:
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
rbenv install 4.0.1 -v
rbenv global 4.0.1
</pre>

Install Lich:
<pre>
cd ~
curl -L "https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/lich-5.zip" -o temp.zip && unzip temp.zip -d ./ && rm temp.zip
</pre>

Tell Ruby not to create documentation for its gems (plugins/packages) unless asked, because it takes a long time and they are available online. Then install the dependencies for Lich and Profanity using Ruby's Gemfile that in included with Lich-5 now by using `bundle install` as shown below:
<pre>
echo "gem: --no-document" > ~/.gemrc
cd ~/lich-5
bundle install
</pre>

Profanity:
<pre>
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/elanthia-online/ProfanityFE.git
</pre>

Lich:Software/Installation

2026-04-04T16:53:18Z

ATHIAS: /* Fedora */ Additional dependencies updated

{{3rd-party}}
=About=

Lich is an add-on scripting engine that works alongside existing front ends. The most common installation is a combination of Lich on Windows using the Wrayth or Wizard FE. Lich is also used by many on both MacOS and multiple Linux distributions.

=Installing the Latest Stable Release=

'''The latest stable lich version is 5.15.1 supporting Ruby 4.0 - published March 16, 2026'''

==In-Place Upgrade==

If you are on an older version of Lich 5 and want to upgrade to the most current version, you can choose to either upgrade Lich5 only or both Lich 5 and Ruby. If you're currently on Lich 4, able to check by running the command <CODE>;e echo LICH_VERSION</CODE>, go to the [[#Upgrade Installation for Lich 5 from Lich 4 (11/14/2023)|upgrade from Lich 4 section]].

For each section, please follow the directions/commands one at a time.

===Lich 5 Only===

====Lich 5.7 or newer====
# '''Backup existing Lich 5 folder'''
# Run this command in-game <CODE>;lich5-update --update</CODE>
# Quit and restart lich.
# Congratulations - you're now running on the latest version of Lich!

====Lich 5.6 or older====
Please proceed to updating both Ruby and Lich 5

===Both Ruby 4.0 & Lich 5===
This method is for Windows only. Linux and MacOS users, please do a Lich 5 only update and update Ruby manually via normal install/update methods for the OS.

# Logout of all characters
# '''Backup existing Lich 5 folder'''
# Uninstall existing Ruby4Lich5 installs from Programs & Features control panel, or alternatively, rename your existing Ruby4Lich5 folder to Ruby4Lich5save. (Defaults to C:\Ruby4Lich5)
# Download the latest [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer]
# Run the installer and be sure to have both Ruby and Lich 5 option selected
# Congratulations - you're now running on the latest version of Lich & Ruby!

===Ruby 4.0 Only===
Use this to upgrade to the newest version of Ruby only if you're already on the latest version of Lich5 and now want to update Ruby afterwards. If you're not already on the latest version of Lich5, please use previous section steps instead.
# Logout of all instances/characters
# '''Backup existing Lich 5 folder'''
# Uninstall your existing Ruby4Lich5 install via Programs & Features (ensure it's now gone, default location was C:\Ruby4Lich5)
# Download the latest [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer]
# Run the new installer and choose to only install Ruby Only
# Congratulations - you're now running on the latest version Ruby!

==Windows New Installation==

{{blue|These instructions are not for DragonRealms. [[#Ecosystem Information|For those scroll to the bottom]].}}

'''For Windows 11 / 10 / 8 / 7''' users: you can download the [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer] and install everything you need automatically. Click on the '''Ruby4Lich5.exe''' and download it to your computer then double click on the executable in your default download folder. Note, a user may need to adjust their browser or security settings to allow download and installation.
If you have never played before, follow the 'New Installation' instructions. If you have played before, and have used Lich before, follow the 'Upgrade Installation' instructions.

===New Installation for Lich 5 (11/14/2023)===

# '''Please log into the game of your choice through the Simutronics website first'''. Install the launcher (not SGE), and install your FrontEnd of Choice. The Wrayth FrontEnd is presently the supported FrontEnd, but Wizard will work as well, if you are nostalgic. After you've logged in, log out and continue.
# Download and Run the [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer]. You will receive the Microsoft Warning because this is not distributed through the MS Store. Click on 'More Info' and then select the 'Run Anyway' button.
# The installation may take a few minutes, especially on non-SSD harddrives.
# A Lich5 folder will be placed on your desktop after the install is finished, open that folder and double click the lich.rbw file contained inside to start Lich's Game Entry window.
# Use your existing Simutronics Account and Password and click connect. Then select the character you wish to play, and select the FrontEnd you wish to use. Then click the Play button.
# Your game FrontEnd should start, and you should see Lich5 initializing. You will see it downloading files - these are the map files, wait for the download to finish.

===Upgrade Installation for Lich 5 from Lich 4 (11/14/2023)===

This option is deprecated. Lich 5 architectures are not compatible with Lich 4. Back up your existing Lich 4 folder, uninstall any existing Ruby executables, and then follow the instructions for a new install above.

Additional assistance in installation can be found in the scripting channel of the GemStone [https://discord.gg/KF9Wr8u Discord].

==MacOS==
There two common options for playing Gemstone IV on a Mac is either to play natively with Avalon or to use virtualization software such as Parallels with Wrayth/WizardFE. Below are the options on how to do that.

===Native Avalon===
Players with Macs can use [[Mac_Installation_-_Lich_(software) | Installing Lich on Macs]] for installation help. This process works well for Mac OS Catalina and Big Sur. If you have not updated your Mac OS yet, these instructions may work depending on your actual version. If you run into a snag, follow the contact instructions provided.

===Parallels Windows===
With the latest releases of Ruby4Lich5 installer, you can now follow the normal Windows installation for both Intel and Apple silicon based Apple computers.

To install Wrayth/WizardFE, Lich, and Ruby via Parallels you will need to do a few various steps as outlined below. Please note, the rubyw file in C:\Ruby4Lich5\X.X.X\bin may be set to run in compatibility mode for windows 7. On an ARM Mac running parallels, this may causes Wrayth scripts not to run. Turning compatibility mode off in the rubyw file could fixe this issue if it was enabled.

The following steps are to be done AFTER you've successfully installed Wrayth/WizardFE and can login normally without Lich5 on the machine. Once you've done that and can successful connect normally, then follow these steps:
# Download and install [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer] and use default options presented during install
# Double click the lich.rbw file that is now located in the extracted Lich5 location you did above. Login and play as usual.

==Chromebook & Debian variants==
<div class="mw-customtoggle-debian" style="font-size:16px;overflow:auto;color:#0000FF">[Click to Expand]</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-debian">
The following steps should install Lich and Profanity for users of Debian/Chromebooks. Profanity is a terminal-based Front-End that will let you play the game (in lieu of The Wizard or Wrayth).

Update the list of available software and make sure some requirements are installed:

<pre>
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y install autoconf bison build-essential curl libssl-dev libyaml-dev libreadline6-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm6 libgdbm-dev libsqlite3-dev git unzip
</pre>

Install '''<tt>[https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv rbenv]</tt>''', a Ruby version manager. Add it to the <tt>PATH</tt> so that it will work outside of its own directory, and set it up to work when you launch the shell (terminal):
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc

Lich:Software/Installation

2026-04-04T16:51:21Z

ATHIAS: /* Fedora */ Updated requirements to prevent missing dependency

{{3rd-party}}
=About=

Lich is an add-on scripting engine that works alongside existing front ends. The most common installation is a combination of Lich on Windows using the Wrayth or Wizard FE. Lich is also used by many on both MacOS and multiple Linux distributions.

=Installing the Latest Stable Release=

'''The latest stable lich version is 5.15.1 supporting Ruby 4.0 - published March 16, 2026'''

==In-Place Upgrade==

If you are on an older version of Lich 5 and want to upgrade to the most current version, you can choose to either upgrade Lich5 only or both Lich 5 and Ruby. If you're currently on Lich 4, able to check by running the command <CODE>;e echo LICH_VERSION</CODE>, go to the [[#Upgrade Installation for Lich 5 from Lich 4 (11/14/2023)|upgrade from Lich 4 section]].

For each section, please follow the directions/commands one at a time.

===Lich 5 Only===

====Lich 5.7 or newer====
# '''Backup existing Lich 5 folder'''
# Run this command in-game <CODE>;lich5-update --update</CODE>
# Quit and restart lich.
# Congratulations - you're now running on the latest version of Lich!

====Lich 5.6 or older====
Please proceed to updating both Ruby and Lich 5

===Both Ruby 4.0 & Lich 5===
This method is for Windows only. Linux and MacOS users, please do a Lich 5 only update and update Ruby manually via normal install/update methods for the OS.

# Logout of all characters
# '''Backup existing Lich 5 folder'''
# Uninstall existing Ruby4Lich5 installs from Programs & Features control panel, or alternatively, rename your existing Ruby4Lich5 folder to Ruby4Lich5save. (Defaults to C:\Ruby4Lich5)
# Download the latest [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer]
# Run the installer and be sure to have both Ruby and Lich 5 option selected
# Congratulations - you're now running on the latest version of Lich & Ruby!

===Ruby 4.0 Only===
Use this to upgrade to the newest version of Ruby only if you're already on the latest version of Lich5 and now want to update Ruby afterwards. If you're not already on the latest version of Lich5, please use previous section steps instead.
# Logout of all instances/characters
# '''Backup existing Lich 5 folder'''
# Uninstall your existing Ruby4Lich5 install via Programs & Features (ensure it's now gone, default location was C:\Ruby4Lich5)
# Download the latest [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer]
# Run the new installer and choose to only install Ruby Only
# Congratulations - you're now running on the latest version Ruby!

==Windows New Installation==

{{blue|These instructions are not for DragonRealms. [[#Ecosystem Information|For those scroll to the bottom]].}}

'''For Windows 11 / 10 / 8 / 7''' users: you can download the [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer] and install everything you need automatically. Click on the '''Ruby4Lich5.exe''' and download it to your computer then double click on the executable in your default download folder. Note, a user may need to adjust their browser or security settings to allow download and installation.
If you have never played before, follow the 'New Installation' instructions. If you have played before, and have used Lich before, follow the 'Upgrade Installation' instructions.

===New Installation for Lich 5 (11/14/2023)===

# '''Please log into the game of your choice through the Simutronics website first'''. Install the launcher (not SGE), and install your FrontEnd of Choice. The Wrayth FrontEnd is presently the supported FrontEnd, but Wizard will work as well, if you are nostalgic. After you've logged in, log out and continue.
# Download and Run the [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer]. You will receive the Microsoft Warning because this is not distributed through the MS Store. Click on 'More Info' and then select the 'Run Anyway' button.
# The installation may take a few minutes, especially on non-SSD harddrives.
# A Lich5 folder will be placed on your desktop after the install is finished, open that folder and double click the lich.rbw file contained inside to start Lich's Game Entry window.
# Use your existing Simutronics Account and Password and click connect. Then select the character you wish to play, and select the FrontEnd you wish to use. Then click the Play button.
# Your game FrontEnd should start, and you should see Lich5 initializing. You will see it downloading files - these are the map files, wait for the download to finish.

===Upgrade Installation for Lich 5 from Lich 4 (11/14/2023)===

This option is deprecated. Lich 5 architectures are not compatible with Lich 4. Back up your existing Lich 4 folder, uninstall any existing Ruby executables, and then follow the instructions for a new install above.

Additional assistance in installation can be found in the scripting channel of the GemStone [https://discord.gg/KF9Wr8u Discord].

==MacOS==
There two common options for playing Gemstone IV on a Mac is either to play natively with Avalon or to use virtualization software such as Parallels with Wrayth/WizardFE. Below are the options on how to do that.

===Native Avalon===
Players with Macs can use [[Mac_Installation_-_Lich_(software) | Installing Lich on Macs]] for installation help. This process works well for Mac OS Catalina and Big Sur. If you have not updated your Mac OS yet, these instructions may work depending on your actual version. If you run into a snag, follow the contact instructions provided.

===Parallels Windows===
With the latest releases of Ruby4Lich5 installer, you can now follow the normal Windows installation for both Intel and Apple silicon based Apple computers.

To install Wrayth/WizardFE, Lich, and Ruby via Parallels you will need to do a few various steps as outlined below. Please note, the rubyw file in C:\Ruby4Lich5\X.X.X\bin may be set to run in compatibility mode for windows 7. On an ARM Mac running parallels, this may causes Wrayth scripts not to run. Turning compatibility mode off in the rubyw file could fixe this issue if it was enabled.

The following steps are to be done AFTER you've successfully installed Wrayth/WizardFE and can login normally without Lich5 on the machine. Once you've done that and can successful connect normally, then follow these steps:
# Download and install [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer] and use default options presented during install
# Double click the lich.rbw file that is now located in the extracted Lich5 location you did above. Login and play as usual.

==Chromebook & Debian variants==
<div class="mw-customtoggle-debian" style="font-size:16px;overflow:auto;color:#0000FF">[Click to Expand]</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-debian">
The following steps should install Lich and Profanity for users of Debian/Chromebooks. Profanity is a terminal-based Front-End that will let you play the game (in lieu of The Wizard or Wrayth).

Update the list of available software and make sure some requirements are installed:

<pre>
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y install autoconf bison build-essential curl libssl-dev libyaml-dev libreadline6-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm6 libgdbm-dev libsqlite3-dev git unzip
</pre>

Install '''<tt>[https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv rbenv]</tt>''', a Ruby version manager. Add it to the <tt>PATH</tt> so that it will work outside of its own directory, and set it up to work when you launch the shell (terminal):
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
</pre>

Run the shell's launch script now to enable those two changes and get rbenv working:
<pre>
source ~/.bashrc
</pre>

Download the tools to let rbenv install Ruby on its own, then install Ruby 3.4.4 and set it to be our default version of Ruby system-wide:
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
rbenv install 4.0.1 -v
rbenv global 4.0.1
</pre>

<pre>
cd ~
curl -L "https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/lich-5.zip" -o temp.zip && unzip temp.zip -d ./ && rm temp.zip
</pre>

Tell Ruby not to create documentation for its gems (plugins/packages) unless asked, because it takes a long time and they are available online. Then install the dependencies for Lich and Profanity using Ruby's Gemfile that in included with Lich-5 now by using `bundle install` as shown below:
<pre>
echo "gem: --no-document" > ~/.gemrc
cd ~/lich-5
bundle install
</pre>

Profanity:
<pre>
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/elanthia-online/ProfanityFE.git
</pre>

Rockflares

2023-02-12T01:27:45Z

ATHIAS: Added Flare explanation and examples

{{stub}}
'''Rockflares''' are a rare type of [[:Category:Subscripts|subscript]] [[flare]]. They are unusual in that they increase in frequency and severity with [[Elemental Lore, Earth]] training, and can be added to weapons that already have another script (for many but not all scripts). They are applied to weapons and runestaves.

==Flare Effect==

Rockflares produce a single initial attack upon the flare triggering, followed by damage over time (DoT) that repeats approximately every 3 seconds.

An example of an initial flare trigger:

<pre>
** As an elongated summit surita runestaff grasping a star-shaped blue riftshard strikes a bloodthirsty Silent Investor marauder, rocky masses form around him! **

... 10 points of damage!
Light blow to the left leg.
</pre>

An example of the DoT:

<pre>
The rocky masses burying a bloodthirsty Silent Investor marauder explodes, causing 6 stones to slam into him.
... 19 points of damage!
... 5 points of damage!
Brushing blow to the temple.
</pre>

The number of times the DoT will repeat is based on the number of stones listed in the flare line. The flare loses 1 stone per DoT tick. As the above example ended on 6 stones, it would repeat an additional 5 more times (removing 1 stone per tick).

==Release and Availability==
Rockflares were released by Lahke at [[Duskruin Arena]] February 2022. A selection of five [[:Category:DoTFlares|DoTFlares]] operating off of different lores and with slightly different effects were auctioned for [[bloodscrip]].

==Frequently Asked Questions==
===How much does SimuCon cost?===

Cost and sign-up information will be available soon.

===Where do I sign up?===
Sign-up is usually initiated by the GM organizing SimuCon and details are released closer to the event.

===Who organizes SimuCon?===

Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!

===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===

SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.

===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===

SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.

===What equipment should I bring?===

Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. '''Note:''' It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.

===Will I need a car?===

Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don't forget to bring cash for a tip!

===Is SimuCon family friendly?===

In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.

===What is the weather typically like?===

Missouri is nicknamed "Misery" for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather

===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===

Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.

===What should I wear?===

SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.

===Is there a pool?===

YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.

==Visitor Information==
The convention is typically held at the Sheraton Westport Chalet, located at 191 W Port Plaza Dr, St. Louis, MO 63146. Below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors. All distances calculated from the host hotel.

Sanctify (330)

2022-03-01T17:40:32Z

ATHIAS: /* Devotion Costs and Gear Difficulty Modifiers */

{{spell
| mnemonic = SANCTIFY
| duration = Special
| type = Utility
| subtype = Combat Gear Enhancement
| skill = None
| components = None
| navigation = {{cleric base navigation}}
| availability = all combat gear
}}
{{TOC limit|10}} 



After gaining the ability to cast '''Sanctify''', a cleric will begin to acquire devotion as they gain [[experience]]. A skilled cleric can use this devotion to permanently enhance combat armaments for use against the [[undead]]. This enhancement provides both offensive and defensive benefits, and can even be further bestowed with Holy Fire flares. [[F2P subscription | F2P]] clerics cannot modify items with 330.

== Armament Enhancements ==

Undead possess a natural 25% damage resistance to physical attacks, as well as a +25 bonus to defending against [[:Category:Player System Manager | PSM skills]]. Each tier of Sanctify on relevant offensive combat gear negates 20% of these defenses, removing them completely at the fifth tier (T5).

Further, sanctified items gain the following benefits when combating the undead (and only the undead):

'''Weapons'''

* Melee and ranged weapons gain a bonus of 2 AS per tier.
* Runestaves gain a bonus of 2 bolt AS and 1.2 CS per tier.
* Each tier also has a 20% chance to [[anchor]] non-corporeal undead when defeated.

'''Defensive Gear'''

* Targets wielding a sanctified shield or torso armor gain a bonus, per tier, of 2 DS, 1.2 TD, and +1 effective level against [[sheer fear]].
* Targets wielding a sanctified runestaff gain a bonus, per tier, of 1 DS, 0.6 TD, and +0.5 effective level against sheer fear.
* Runestaff and shield bonuses stack with torso armor, but not with each other.

'''Holy Fire Flares'''

* A cleric with at least 100 ranks of [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] can spend 200,000 devotion to attempt to bestow permanent Holy Fire flares to a T5 sanctified armament.
* Holy Fire flares, in addition to a standard heat critical, will deal a random 50 to 100 concussion damage. The concussion damage is capped at (20 + (creature level / 5))% of the target’s total health.
** example: a level 40 target the concussion damage would be capped at (20 + (40 / 5)) = 28% of their max health.

'''Cleric-Only Effects'''

* An innate cleric bonus to these flares is that the concussion damage is instead 75 to 125.
* Clerics can EVOKE 330 at items to temporarily grant them Holy Fire flares and non-corporeal undead anchoring. This enhancement functions for clerics only, does not apply any of the other 330 benefits, and lasts for 4 hours.
* At 90 and 180 ranks of [[Spiritual Lore, Religion]] clerics gain an extra charge of a Holy Fire flare that is guaranteed to trigger on their next attack.

== Skill Formula ==

* [[Level]]: +1 per level
* [[Cleric Base|Cleric Spell Ranks]]: +2 per rank up to level, +1 per rank above level ("up to level" is based on 1x spell training and thus a level 50 cleric with 100 ranks will have 52 ranks at +2 and 48 ranks at +1)
* [[Wisdom]]: +1 per stat bonus
* [[Influence]]: +1 per stat bonus
* [[Spiritual Mana Control]]: +1 per 2 ranks
* [[Magic Item Use]]: +1 per 10 ranks
* [[Arcane Symbols]]: +1 per 10 ranks
* Shrine Bonus: +20 for matching [[CONVERT (verb)|{{boldmono|CONVERT}}]] exactly, +10 for same {{boldmono|CONVERT}} pantheon (bonuses do not stack)
* Being wounded and under a penalty from low spirit will hinder sanctification attempts

[[Holy places]] that show through [[SENSE (verb)|{{boldmono|SENSE}}]] a deity that you are converted to will give a +20 bonus. If you are not converted to that deity, but are in the same pantheon (Liabo, Lornon, and Neutral) it will give a +10 bonus.

Holy places that show multiple deities will not give the +20 deity bonus, but instead the +10 pantheon bonus. An example of this would be if you were converted to Lorminstra, and in a location that senses as "Lorminstra, Imaera, Phoen, and Oleani."

An omnishrine, a location that senses as having the "harmonized presence of multiple deities' influence," will give the +20 deity bonus to all clerics, regardless of deity selection (including other, forsaken, and not yet chosen).

A location that senses as having the "influence of an indiscernible higher power" is an unknown, but specific deity in the Neutral pantheon. A forsaken cleric received a +10 bonus while a Lorminstra cleric received +0.

== Devotion Costs and Gear Difficulty Modifiers ==

=== Devotion Costs ===

* Tier 1: 50k
* Tier 2: 75k
* Tier 3: 100k
* Tier 4: 125k
* Tier 5: 150k
* Holy Fire: 200k
* A failed Sanctify cast consumes 10% of the devotion necessary to perform that task.

=== Gear Difficulty Modifiers ===

* Every tier of Sanctify adds a penalty of -20. This penalty is applied to the cast being done (IE: an item that has a difficulty of -500 will actually be -520 when you cast 330 on it).
* Holy Fire flares add a penalty of -50.

==== Material Gear Difficulty Modifiers ====

* [[Eonake]], [[white ora]], [[faewood]], and [[white alloy]] all have a bonus of +50 to the success roll. This bonus is not shown in the gear difficulty score.

=== Special Properties ===

Applying Sanctify to gear requires a [[Enchanting potion#Pre-tempering Potions | potion]] if the item has [[Enhancive item | Enhancive]] or [[Ensorcell | Ensorcelled]] properties, which also factor into the item's difficulty rating:

* [[Enhancive]] gear requires an [[urven'eth potion]]
* [[Ensorcell]] gear requires an [[inky black potion]]

Other Services:
* [[Enchant | Enchanting]] sanctified gear requires an [[urven'eth potion]]
* [[Ensorcell | Ensorcelling]] sanctified gear requires an [[inky black potion]]

== Sanctification Process ==

{{boldmono|CAST <object>}} will provide a descriptive estimate of sanctification difficulty as well as the number of times the object has been sanctified. A bard [[loresinging]] the object can tell you the exact difficulty.

{{boldmono|CHANNEL <object>}} will perform the permanent application.

* Step 1: Make sure you have the necessary devotion stored up using the {{boldmono|RESOURCE}} verb.
* Step 2: Make sure you have the necessary bonuses to successfully perform the sanctification.
* Step 3: Apply any [[Sanctify_(330)#Pre-temper_potions|pre-temper potions]] required.
* Step 4: {{boldmono|CHANNEL <object>}} to profit.

=== Messaging ===

{{ServiceMessaging}}

== Suffusion ==

A cleric can [[Suffusion | suffuse]] devotion at the rate of 1 point of energy per 2,000 devotion. Each point of suffused energy used in a sanctification attempt is equivalent to a +1 bonus. 

== Post Name Titles ==

After spending 50 full weeks of devotion (2.5 million) the cleric will gain access to the Sanctifier [[Title system | title]]. After bestowing 15 items with Holy Fire (3 million devotion) the cleric will gain access to the Holy Flame title. Devotion spent on bestowing Holy Fire counts for devotion spent towards the Sanctifier title. The [[SPELL (verb)|{{boldmono|SPELL}}]] command will show the lifetime amount of both devotion spent and armaments bestowed with Holy Fire.

The titles are listed in the skill section of the title list ({{boldmono|TITLE LIST SKILL}}) and these titles also work with the {{boldmono|SET SHOWDEITYTITLE ON}} setting to create a title of: <character name> the <title> of <deity>.

Enchanting potion

2022-03-01T17:24:53Z

ATHIAS: /* Pre-tempering Potions */

'''Enchanting potions''' are used by [[wizard]]s in the [[enchant]]ing process. Enchanting projects no longer require [[#Tempering Potions|tempering potions]] or tempering times. In the current system, A wizard first pours an [[#Unlock Potions|unlock potion]] on the item to unlock it for enchant. Next, if the project is fusion, sanctified, or enhancive gear, it will also require glowing urven'eth potion before a cast can be successful. Items with some flares also have optional Ilvan'eth flare potions that can reduce the enchant difficulty for the item.
{{TOC limit|2}}

==Formula==
Enchant Potions no longer require a roll - you simply pour the item on the object and the potion will take effect.

== Potion Order ==
<section begin=order />When enchanting items with multiple special properties requiring multiple pre-temper potions, the potions must be applied in the following order:

# Aya'neth Potion - Color depends on enchant - up to +35, 1 pour unlocks +5, after +35, 1 pour unlocks +1
# Urven'eth Potion (fusion/sanctified/enhancive) - 1 Pour IMMEDIATELY BEFORE each cast - wears off
# Ilven'eth Potion - Fiery, Icy, Cloudy, Earthy (flaring) - 1 Pour IMMEDIATELY BEFORE each cast - wears off
<includeonly> (step 2 [[#Enchanting Process for Plain Items|above]])</includeonly><section end=order />

==Tempering Potions==

You pour your potion on the leather.
1d100: 67 + Modifiers: 326 == 393

The faint glow fades from some black and tan full leather.
As the liquid coats the surface of the tan full leather, a misty aura fills the air surrounding it, dancing around your fingers as you gesture over it with a soft incantation spilling from your lips. Small runic symbols flare to life at various points along the surface of the leather, their blurry edges wavering in response to the cadence of your voice and the liquid in these areas absorbing quickly beneath the surface. When the last of the liquid has vanished, the symbols dissipate and the leather appears faded. You scrutinize the tan full leather, notice nothing amiss, and conclude that the tempering seems to have been successful. You estimate that the tan full leather should be ready to enchant in about 13 to 14 days.

==Pre-tempering Potions==
'''PRE-TEMPERING POTIONS ARE NOW CALLED POTIONS - TEMPERING ONLY APPLIED TO ENCHANTING, AND IS NO LONGER APPLICABLE WITH THE MOST RECENT ENCHANTING UPDATES'''

<section begin=intro />'''Pre-tempering potions''' are special potions for enchanting items with special properties. Urven'eth Potion '''MUST''' be poured on [[enhancive]] (including socketed fusion) or [[sanctified]] gear before any enchant cast. A test cast will tell you there is a power that must be overcome before you can cast; if you get that message, you MUST use glowing urven'eth potion. The other type of pre-enchant potion is Ilvan'eth potion for elemental [[flare|flaring]] items. Ilvan'eth potions remove the -100 enchant penalty from a flaring item for one cast. For both types of potion, a bottle starts with 5 pours, and each pour works for one +1 cast. These potions will wear off after a short time, so they should only be poured immediately before the wizard casts.

=== Messaging ===

The messaging for a pre-temper potion follows a standard form, with each type of pre-temper having a different glow description:

'''Success:
<pre{{log2}}>
>pour my pot on my lea
You pour your potion on the leather.
As the liquid coats the surface of the tan full leather, you murmur a few words of power while gesturing over the leather. The liquid quickly seeps into the tan full leather and leaves nothing behind but a faint glow. You examine the leather closely and, though the faint glow appears to be fading rapidly, are satisfied that it is ready to take a standard tempering potion.
Roundtime: 20 sec.
You have 4 doses left.
</pre>

'''Failure:
<pre{{log2}}>
You pour your potion on the chain.

The liquid absorbs into the green imflass chain too quickly as you fumble to begin your chant and gestures, and the chain is dry in a moment's notice leaving no noticable change.
Roundtime: 20 sec.
You have 3 doses left.
</pre>

After 5 minutes the pre-temper effect will fade and must be re-poured. This messaging also takes a standard form with the same glow description as the pre-temper message:

'''Fade:
<pre{{log2}}>
The faint glow fades from the green imflass chain.

Armor

2021-10-03T03:19:57Z

ATHIAS:

'''Armor''' protects its wearer from damage by decreasing the [[damage factor]] (usually) and increasing the [[#Critical Divisor|critical divisor]].
{{Armor navigation}}
==General Information==
Armor is divided into main armor and armor accessories. Kinds of main armor are distinguished by their '''armor group''' (AG) and '''armor sub-group''' (ASG). Characters may only wear one set of main armor and one of each kind of accessory at a time.

The first armor in an armor group is usually torso armor, covering only the chest, stomach, and back. The second type will cover the arms and hands of the wearer, then the third type will cover the legs as well. The last type of armor in a group covers the entire body. When a character wears an accessory such as greaves to increase the coverage of their armor, the ASG remains unchanged but the penalties (moving, casting, [[Roundtime|RT]]) change to correspond with the greatest degree of coverage; see table below for more details. For example, if a character was wearing light leather that covers just the torso, they might decide to add arm greaves at one point. The behavior of the character's armor would then change to that of full leather since the total coverage would then be torso and arms.

Note that penalties are assessed based on the ''worst'' (most extensive) coverage. Wearing a helm on the head or aventail on the neck while wearing ASG5/light leather will give ASG8/double leather penalties, but will '''NOT''' give the protection (see next paragraph) of the heavier armor to the arms or legs, since those body locations are not covered in this case: only the chest, abdomen, back, and head (or neck) are covered in this example. For this reason it is usually advised to wear the heaviest armor the character is trained for, and not use accessories at all. Some characters prefer to wear accessories in any case, but this is usually either for cosmetic reasons (the helm perfectly matches the look sought) or entirely different mechanical benefits (such as an [[Enhancive item]]).

When a type of armor in a class doesn't cover a body part, the part counts as being covered by one class less when determining the critical rank of a strike. For example, when striking someone wearing torso plate, or metal breastplate, the weapon uses the [[damage factor]] of striking someone in plate, no matter where the strike lands. However, when striking an uncovered portion, the amount of raw damage required per critical rank is only 9 damage, instead of the 11 damage which is standard for plate armor (these numbers are called '''[[#Critical Divisor|critical divisor]]s'''). Therefore, a strike of 18 raw damage using a longsword (a +203 to +208 endroll) to an arm is a level 2 crit (+7 extra damage, for a total of 25 damage), but if the same strike were to hit the chest, it'd only be a level 1 crit (+1 extra damage, for a total of 19 damage).

''Note: the endrolls noted may be much higher if the victim has significant amounts of [[Redux|DFRedux]]. For example, a character with 60% redux in the example given above would require a +358 endroll for the same result.''

== Armor Attributes ==

{{Armor attributes}}=== Armor Sub-Group ===

The armor sub-group (often referred to as ASG) is the method by which armor is categorized. Armors fall into one of five groups: Cloth, Leather, Scale, Chain, or Plate. Within each of these groups are 4 armor sub-groups. However, in the case of the Cloth group, armor sub-groups 3 and 4 are no longer available within the game.

In each armor group, the lowest ASG has the least amount of coverage, while the highest ASG has the most amount of coverage.

Armor accessories can increase the coverage area of an armor, but do not give the full benefits imparted by wearing armor that covers those locations naturally (such as CvA and AvD).

=== Coverage ===

Each armor type has a built in level of coverage that it provides to your body. This coverage can prevent damage to those areas of your body in the form of critical hits.

In each armor group, the lowest ASG has the least amount of coverage (just the torso), while the highest ASG has the most amount of coverage (head to toe).

Armor accessories can increase the effective ASG of your armor. That is, if you wear double chain, which covers torso and arms, and also wear a helmet and leg greaves, you will receive the same amount of coverage exactly as if you were wearing a chain hauberk.

=== Roundtime Penalty ===

The Roundtime Penalty is a number (in seconds) added to your base [[roundtime]] when swinging a weapon. This penalty is located in the "RT" column in the attributes table above.

By training in the [[armor use]] skill, this roundtime can be reduced. Each 20 skill bonus points removes one second of armor-based roundtime (the first second is removed at 10 bonus points, and then every 20 thereafter). The skill bonus required to fully train off the roundtime penalty is ((Roundtime Penalty * 20) - 10).

High bonuses in [[dexterity]] and [[agility]] also [[Roundtime#Factors|offset]] this penalty.

Example: When wearing brigandine armor (ASG 12), attacks have a 6 second roundtime penalty. The required armor use skill bonus to train off the extra roundtime is ((6 * 20) - 10) = 110, which is achieved with 27 skill ranks (111 bonus).

=== Action Penalty ===

The action penalty is a negative modifier to your chance to perform or defend against a [[standard maneuver roll]]. It will also affect other non SMR actions including defending against an [[Elemental Wave]] to something as mundane as [[STAND (verb)|standing up]].

The skill bonus required to reduce the action penalty to its base value is ((Roundtime Penalty * 20) - 10). The action penalty can then be further reduced by [[Armor_Use#Overtraining_Benefits|overtraining]] in [[Armor_use|Armor Use]] and/or using [[armored evasion]].

The action penalty is also a factor in [[Defensive Strength]] (DS). The [[Combat system#Evade|evade]] portion of DS has an armor hindrance penalty equal to 1/2 of the action penalty. For example, an action penalty of -20 results in -10% to evade DS. This penalty is likewise reduced by armor use overtraining and/or Armored Evasion.

For reference a character exactly trained for full plate at cap, the action penalty (-35) is a little bit above the difference between training 1x and 2x in [[Physical Fitness]]*.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>''Note: This should not be interpreted to mean that Physical Fitness provides a linear increase to maneuver rolls, only that the absolute difference between 1x and 2x training happens to be slightly less than 35. The exact mechanics of the standard maneuver roll are not known.''

===Cast vs Armor (CvA)===
{{#section:Warding|CvA}}

=== Spell Hindrance ===

[[Spell hindrance]] is a system that imparts a chance for armor to prevent spells from being successfully cast. The below table shows the base hindrances for each armor type.

The skill bonus required to reduce hindrance to the base value is:

<span style="background:#F5FAFF;margin:1em;font-size:110%;font-weight:bold;">Armor Use Bonus Required = (Base Hindrance * 20) - 10</span>

Example: When wearing brigandine armor (ASG 12), Cleric spells have a base hindrance of 7%. The required armor use skill bonus is ((7 * 20) - 10) = 130, which is equivalent to 35 skill ranks.

Hindrance will never be less than the value shown, except when temporarily under the effects of the [[Paladin]] abilities [[Faith's Clarity (1612)]] and [[Armored Fluidity]].

If a player is under trained for their armor type, the penalty will increase, but it will never exceed the Max hindrance shown in the rightmost column.

Under trained penalty formula:

<span style="background:#F5FAFF;margin:1em;font-size:110%;font-weight:bold;">Total Hindrance = Base Hindrance * (1 + (Required Bonus - Current Bonus) / 20)</span>

Example: As above, 130 armor use skill bonus (35 ranks) is required to cast Cleric spells in brigandine armor with the base hindrance of 7%. If the caster has only 90 skill bonus (20 ranks), the hindrance is modified by a factor of (1 + (130 - 90)/20) = 3, so the actual hindrance would be 21%.

Example 2: In the same scenario with Cleric spells in brigandine, if the caster has 0 armor use skill, then hindrance would be modified by a factor of (1 + (130 - 0)/20) = 7.5, which would result in 52% hindrance, but since this exceeds brigandine armor's max hindrance of 28% according to the table, the actual hindrance would be 28%.

A '''critical divisor''' or '''crit divisor''' refers to a property of armor that determines the rank of a [[critical]] when struck. The critical divisor for an unarmored opponent is 5, so in order to inflict a level 1 critical, an attacker must deal 5 to 11 [[raw damage]] in the absence of weighting. Achieving ten raw damage can cause a level 2 critical, though the actual level of a critical will vary due to [[critical randomization]]. See also [[damage factor]] and [[armor]].<section end=critdivisor /><br style="clear:both;">

== Padding and Resistance ==

Armor (including accessories) may be [[padding|padded]] for additional generic protection from damage or criticals, and/or given [[resistance]] to specific critical types such as [[slash critical table|slashing]] attack or [[fire critical table|fire]].

|}

== Encumbrance ==
{{main|Encumbrance}}
Base armor (that is, armor which is worn "over the chest" and falls into one of the above ASGs) is treated uniquely with respect to the carrying capacity and [[encumbrance]] system. Armor may add to or subtract from encumbrance (effectively increasing native carrying capacity) when worn. The exact effect is dependent upon the [[Item weights (saved posts)|base weight]] of that particular class of armor, the actual [[weight]] of the armor (which may be more or less than standard weight), and the [[Racial modifiers (saved post)#Worn_Armor_Weight|racial weight modifier]].

Armor accessories (such as helms, arm, and leg greaves) will always increase [[encumbrance]]. It is important to note that when armor and armor accessories are held (as opposed to worn) by a character, they are ''not'' affected by [[Racial modifiers (saved post)#Worn_Armor_Weight|racial weight modifiers]]. When a character with a weight modifier which is less than 1 (such as [[elf|elves]] or [[halfling|halflings]]) wears an armor accessory, they may observe an apparent decrease in [[encumbrance]] when worn. The weight of the item will still increase the character's overall [[encumbrance]].

Further quantitative details on this topic can be found in the [[Encumbrance#Armor_Encumbrance_Formula|encumbrance article]].

Armor -

Everyone gets hit. When an attacker lands a blow, armor and armor training can be the difference between a tiny scratch and sudden death.

Armor contains two kinds of impediments which must be trained off, physical hindrance and magical hindrance.

The first and more quickly trained off impediment is physical hindrance. To overcome physical hindrance you must train in ARMOR SKILL until you obtain enough bonus points to allow you to move well in your armor, despite the weight and coverage of that armor.

Magical hindrance is similar in that it is necessary to train in armor to be able to cast effectively in it. Magical hindrance is reduced to its lowest possible degree by training in Armor Skill too. Following is an example of a spell that fails because of magical hindrance:

[Spell Hindrance for some full plate is 96% with current Armor Use skill, d100= 84]
Your armor prevents the spell from working correctly.

As you can see, the armor in the above example is FULL PLATE. Full plate is a very heavy armor with an Armor Sub-Group (ASG) of 20. ASG is how the game sorts the size of armor. A list of armor ASG and charts to determine how much armor skill is needed to train off physical and magical hindrance for each ASG may be found at http://www.play.net/gs4/info/armory/armor.asp

Please be aware, as you add armor accessories like Aventails, Helms, Bracers, etc., you will need to add additional armor training.

There is no further help available on this topic.

ATHIAS: Updated for clarity, added formulas, and a regeneration example

{{Otheruses4|the concept of magical energy|the verb|MANA (verb)}}

[[Mana]] is the raw magical energy found in each of the spheres of magic. It is by tapping into this energy that characters can power their spells, whether they tap into the magic through prayer to a god, focusing their inner will and psyche, or arcane words and gestures that harness the powers of the elements.

== Mana Points ==

Each character has a reserve of '''mana points''', representing how much magic they can cast safely. [[CAST (verb)|Casting]] a [[spell]] requires the expenditure of a certain amount of mana points, generally equal to the level of the spell being cast. For example, a level 1 spell would cost the caster 1 MP. Casting without having enough mana will cause the caster to suffer nervous system [[injuries]].

A character's maximum mana point capacity includes their '''Base Mana''' plus additional mana from their '''Harness Power''' training.

=== Base Mana ===

{| {{Prettytable|float:right}}
|-
! Profession || Mana Statistic(s) || Sphere(s) of Power
|-
| [[Bard]] || [[Aura]], [[Influence]] || [[Elemental]], [[Mental]]
|-
| [[Cleric]] || [[Wisdom]] || [[Elemental]], [[Spiritual]]
|-
| [[Empath]] || [[Wisdom]], [[Influence]] || [[Spiritual]], [[Mental]]

| [[Monk]] || [[Logic]], [[Wisdom]] || [[Spiritual]], [[Mental]]

|-
| [[Warrior]] || [[Aura]], [[Wisdom]] || [[Elemental]], [[Spiritual]]
|-
| [[Wizard]] || [[Aura]] || [[Elemental]]
|}

Each [[profession]] uses one or two [[statistic]]s to determine its base mana points. The statistic bonuses (including racial modifiers), not the raw values, is used. Bonuses used in the mana formula are based on the character's statistics at [[Level]] 0 (shown with the command '''[[INFO|INFO START]]''') and do not take subsequent [[statistic growth rate|growth]] into account.

For professions with only one mana stat,
{{equation box|{{math|BaseMana {{=}} &lfloor;StatBonus / 2&rfloor;}}}}

For professions with two mana stats,
{{equation box|{{math|BaseMana {{=}} &lfloor;(StatBonus<sub>1</sub> + StatBonus<sub>2</sub>) / 4&rfloor;}}}}

=== Harness Power Bonus ===

Training in [[Harness Power]] gives extra mana equal to (Harness Power Ranks (capped at level) + Harness Power Skill Bonus).

For example, a level 10 character with 14 ranks in Harness Power would have a bonus of 10 + 66 = 76 mana.

== Regeneration ==

Mana recovery is calculated using a percentage (25% on a [[node]] and 15% when off) of your maxium mana, plus the bonus regeneration earned through [[Mana Control]] in your sphere of power.

For professions with a single sphere of power, +1 bonus mana regen is earned every 10 ranks:
{{equation box|{{math|BonusRegen {{=}} &lfloor; ( ManaControlRanks / 10 ) &rfloor;}}}}

For professions with two spheres of power, +1 bonus mana regen is earned every 10 ranks in the higher of the two MC skills, and an additional +1 for every 20 ranks in the lower MC skill:
{{equation box|{{math|BonusRegen {{=}} ( &lfloor; ( ManaControlRanks<sub>higher</sub> / 10 ) &rfloor; ) + ( &lfloor; ( ( ManaControlRanks<sub>lower</sub> / 10 ) / 2 ) &rfloor; )}}}}

Training in [[Mana Control]] for unrelated spheres of power (e.g. a wizard training in [[Spiritual Mana Control]]) provides no additional mana regeneration.

=== Example ===

A level 100 [[Empath]] with 505 mana and 101 ranks each of [[EMC]], [[SMC]], and [[MMC]].

'''Node Value:'''
<pre>
504 * 25% = 126.25 => 126
504 * 15% = 75.75 => 75
</pre>

'''Bonus Regen:'''
<pre>
(SMC / 10) + ((MMC / 10)/2)
101/10 + 101/20 = 10 + 5 => 15
*EMC provides no bonus
</pre>

'''Total:'''
<pre>
On-node = 126 + 15 => 141
Off-node = 75 + 15 => 90
</pre>

=== Regeneration Modifiers ===

* The spell [[Manna]] creates bread that, when eaten, gives a refresh-effect every minute until the character enters combat. This refresh-effect includes a small mana regeneration dependent on the caster's training in the [[Major Spiritual]] circle. Manna can also increase maximum mana depending on [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]], which indirectly increases regeneration.
* The spell [[Heroism (215)]] gives a refresh-effect of 1 MP per minute.
* The spell [[Mana Focus (418)]] can change a room's nature from non-node to node for the purposes of mana regeneration.
* The [[Bard]] song [[Song of Power (1018)]] affects the mana regeneration rate of the room in which the singer is stationed.
* [[minor mana regen potion]]s give +3 MP per pulse
* [[lesser mana regen potion]]s give +8 MP per pulse
* [[greater mana regen potion]]s give +13 MP per pulse
* [[Cleric]]s and [[Empath]]s can [[MEDITATE]] in order to gain Spirit Points, Mana Points, Health Points, and Stamina at a faster rate. Clerics can also apply the meditative effect to other professions using a [[chrism]] gem. For characters with exceptionally poor Discipline and Wisdom, it is possible for meditation to '''decrease''' mana regeneration rate.

Lich:Software/Installation

2021-05-19T17:27:41Z

ATHIAS:

==About==

Lich is an add-on scripting engine that works alongside existing front ends. The most common installation is a combination of Lich on Windows using the Stormfront or Wizard FE. Despite this, Lich is also used by many on both MacOS and multiple Linux distributions.

==Installing the Latest Stable Release==

===Windows===

'''For Windows 10 / 8 / 7''' users: you can download the [https://bit.ly/WinLich5 Installer] and install everything you need automatically. If you have never played before, follow the 'New Installation' instructions. If you have played before, and have used Lich before, follow the 'Upgrade Installation' instructions.

Several very popular scripts have been updated to work with the new Lich version. '''If your favorite script doesn't work right, and if downloading the author's latest (since 03/2020) doesn't fix it, check out this [https://github.com/elanthia-online/gtk3-scripts/tree/master/scripts link] for an updated copy.''' Always try the repo first - authors may be updating their scripts and adding cool new features that are not included at this link.

====New Installation for Lich 5 (3/6/2021)====

# '''Please log into the game of your choice through the Simutronics website first'''. Install the launcher (not SGE), and install your FrontEnd of Choice. The StormFront FrontEnd is presently the supported FrontEnd, but Wizard will work as well, if you are nostalgic. After you've logged in, log out and continue.
# Download and Run the [https://bit.ly/WinLich5 Installer]. You will receive the Microsoft Warning because this is not distributed through the MS Store. Click on 'More Info' and then select the 'Run Anyway' button.
# The installation may take a few minutes, especially on non-SSD harddrives.
# A Lich5 folder will be placed on your desktop after the install is finished, open that folder and double click the lich.rbw file contained inside to start Lich's Game Entry window.
# Use your existing Simutronics Account and Password and click connect. Then select the character you wish to play, and select the FrontEnd you wish to use. Then click the Play button.
# Your game FrontEnd should start, and you should see Lich5 initializing. You will see it downloading files - these are the map files, wait for the download to finish.
# You should see a window open titled 'xNarost', this is the map window.
# In the game command line enter -> <code>;repo download jinx</code> <- and wait the few seconds for it to finish. This is an alternative, maintained by Elanthia Online, to the Lich repository to facilitate downloading/updating scripts when the repository is offline.

====Upgrade Installation for Lich 5 (3/6/2021)====

'''Developers:''' This installer will associate all .rb and .rbw files to this installation. You may want to just check in with the [https://discord.gg/KF9Wr8u Discord] scripting channel to get the latest Lich files and roll your own Ruby.

'''Note:''' Back up your existing lich folder for a failsafe experience. Seriously. Put a copy somewhere safe.

'''Note2:''' You are updating to Ruby 2.6.6 and GTK3 - smoother running and more stable. This means that some of your existing scripts may need to be updated. At the present moment, the only script that is known to not be available is the Wizard script <code>;uberbarwiz</code>. If that script is critical to your gaming, do not upgrade yet. When this note changes, that will mean an updated script is available.

'''Note3:''' This installer is safe to run with existing installations of Ruby. This is done to facilitate a rapid return to the prior version if something doesn't work right. Remember to uninstall your older Ruby if you are satisfied with this new installation to get back precious disk space.

# Download and Run the [https://bit.ly/WinLich5 Installer]. You will receive the Microsoft Warning because this is not distributed through the MS Store. Click on 'More Info' and then select the 'Run Anyway' button.
# The installation may take a few minutes, especially on non-SSD harddrives.
# A Lich5 folder will be placed on your desktop after the install is finished.
# Since you likely have a ton of information already saved in your previous lich folder, the fastest way to update to Lich5 is to open the Lich5 folder, open your existing lich folder, select ALL in your existing lich folder, and drag it over to the Lich5 folder. DO NOT OVERWRITE any files that already exist. If you do, your new Lich5 installation will not work. Always keep the existing Lich5 file when copying over your old information. You did back up your existing lich folder, right?
# Log in as you normally would. The Lich Quick Game Entry and Game Entry windows will look different, so don't be surprised. The Lich Quick Game Entry window should show your accounts in tabs on the left side, click through them to be sure your characters are all still listed under their tabs.

'''Note4:''' The script 'sloot' is very popular, and it is confusing to keep track of which sloot variant out there is best. The latest actively maintained version is availble under the Jinx gtk3-scripts repository:
<pre>
;jinx repo add gtk3-scripts https://gtk3.elanthia.online
;jinx script update sloot.lic --repo=gtk3=scripts --force
;jinx data install sloot.ui --repo=gtk3=scripts
</pre>

Special note to Profanity / Illthorn and other third-party FrontEnd users - this installer does not create an entry to the Environment Path variable. If you're using a third-party FrontEnd, be sure to add the Ruby4Lich5\bin directory to your path. See how [https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/ here].

Additional assistance in installation can be found in the scripting channel of the GemStone [https://discord.gg/KF9Wr8u Discord].

===Mac OS X===

Players with Macs can use [[Mac_Installation_-_Lich_(software) | Installing Lich on Macs]] for installation help.

This process works well for Mac OS Catalina and Big Sur.

If you have not updated your Mac OS yet, these instructions may work depending on your actual version. If you run into a snag, follow the contact instructions provided.

===Chromebook & Debian variants===
The following steps should install Lich and Profanity for users of Debian/Chromebooks. Profanity is a terminal-based Front-End that will let you play the game (in lieu of The Wizard or Stormfront).

Update the list of available software and make sure some requirements are installed:

<pre>
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y install autoconf bison build-essential libssl-dev libyaml-dev libreadline6-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm6 libgdbm-dev libsqlite3-dev unzip
</pre>

Install '''<tt>[https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv rbenv]</tt>''', a Ruby version manager. Add it to the <tt>PATH</tt> so that it will work outside of its own directory, and set it up to work when you launch the shell (terminal):
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
</pre>

Run the shell's launch script now to enable those two changes and get rbenv working:
<pre>
source ~/.bashrc
</pre>

Download the tools to let rbenv install Ruby on its own, then install Ruby 2.5.1 and set it to be our default version of Ruby system-wide:
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
rbenv install 2.5.1 -v
rbenv global 2.5.1
</pre>

Tell Ruby not to create documentation for its gems (plugins/packages) unless asked, because it takes a long time and they are available online. Then install the dependencies for Lich and Profanity:
<pre>
echo "gem: --no-document" > ~/.gemrc
gem install sqlite3 gtk2 curses
</pre>

Install Lich and Profanity:
<pre>
curl --remote-name https://lichproject.org/download/lich-4.6.49.zip
unzip lich-*.zip
git clone https://github.com/elanthia-online/ProfanityFE.git
</pre>

===Fedora===

There are notable differences between the versions of Fedora that are commonly available:

* Fedora 31 uses Ruby version 2.6.5 which has no compatibility issues with the base lich version or the Beta GTK3 variant.
* Fedora 32 uses Ruby version 2.7.1 which requires modification of scripts to match SAFE commands. This is a minor version difference, but is notable.

1. Update The Base Installation:
<pre>
$ sudo dnf -y update
$ sudo dnf -y install vim git
</pre>

2. Install required Ruby and Development packages:
<pre>
$ sudo dnf install -y autoconf bison gcc gdbm gdbm-devel glib2-devel gobject-introspection-devel \
libyaml-devel libffi-devel make ncurses-devel openssl-devel readline-devel redhat-rpm-config \
ruby ruby-devel sqlite-devel unzip zlib-devel
</pre>

3. Perform Ruby Gem Installations:
<pre>
$ gem install rake
$ gem update
</pre>

3.a. For GTK2 (base Lich)
<pre>
$ gem install sqlite3 gtk2 curses
</pre>

3.b. For GTK3 Beta
<pre>
$ gem install sqlite3 gtk3 curses
</pre>

4.a. Download Lich (GTK2):
<pre>
$ cd ~

Lich:Software/Installation

2021-04-29T14:32:43Z

ATHIAS: Updated notes on `sloot`

==About==

Lich is an add-on scripting engine that works alongside existing front ends. The most common installation is a combination of Lich on Windows using the Stormfront or Wizard FE. Despite this, Lich is also used by many on both MacOS and multiple Linux distributions.

==Installing the Latest Stable Release==

===Windows===

'''For Windows 10 / 8 / 7''' users: you can download the [https://bit.ly/WinLich5 Installer] and install everything you need automatically. If you have never played before, follow the 'New Installation' instructions. If you have played before, and have used Lich before, follow the 'Upgrade Installation' instructions.

Several very popular scripts have been updated to work with the new Lich version. '''If your favorite script doesn't work right, and if downloading the author's latest (since 03/2020) doesn't fix it, check out this [https://github.com/elanthia-online/gtk3-scripts/tree/master/scripts link] for an updated copy.''' Always try the repo first - authors may be updating their scripts and adding cool new features that are not included at this link.

====New Installation for Lich 5 (3/6/2021)====

# '''Please log into the game of your choice through the Simutronics website first'''. Install the launcher (not SGE), and install your FrontEnd of Choice. The StormFront FrontEnd is presently the supported FrontEnd, but Wizard will work as well, if you are nostalgic. After you've logged in, log out and continue.
# Download and Run the [https://bit.ly/WinLich5 Installer]. You will receive the Microsoft Warning because this is not distributed through the MS Store. Click on 'More Info' and then select the 'Run Anyway' button.
# The installation may take a few minutes, especially on non-SSD harddrives.
# A Lich5 folder will be placed on your desktop after the install is finished, open that folder and double click the lich.rbw file contained inside to start Lich's Game Entry window.
# Use your existing Simutronics Account and Password and click connect. Then select the character you wish to play, and select the FrontEnd you wish to use. Then click the Play button.
# Your game FrontEnd should start, and you should see Lich5 initializing. You will see it downloading files - these are the map files, wait for the download to finish.
# You should see a window open titled 'xNarost', this is the map window.
# In the game command line enter -> <code>;repo download jinx</code> <- and wait the few seconds for it to finish. This is an alternative, maintained by Elanthia Online, to the Lich repository to facilitate downloading/updating scripts when the repository is offline.

====Upgrade Installation for Lich 5 (3/6/2021)====

'''Developers:''' This installer will associate all .rb and .rbw files to this installation. You may want to just check in with the [https://discord.gg/KF9Wr8u Discord] scripting channel to get the latest Lich files and roll your own Ruby.

'''Note:''' Back up your existing lich folder for a failsafe experience. Seriously. Put a copy somewhere safe.

'''Note2:''' You are updating to Ruby 2.6.6 and GTK3 - smoother running and more stable. This means that some of your existing scripts may need to be updated. At the present moment, the only script that is known to not be available is the Wizard script <code>;uberbarwiz</code>. If that script is critical to your gaming, do not upgrade yet. When this note changes, that will mean an updated script is available.

'''Note3:''' This installer is safe to run with existing installations of Ruby. This is done to facilitate a rapid return to the prior version if something doesn't work right. Remember to uninstall your older Ruby if you are satisfied with this new installation to get back precious disk space.

# Download and Run the [https://bit.ly/WinLich5 Installer]. You will receive the Microsoft Warning because this is not distributed through the MS Store. Click on 'More Info' and then select the 'Run Anyway' button.
# The installation may take a few minutes, especially on non-SSD harddrives.
# A Lich5 folder will be placed on your desktop after the install is finished.
# Since you likely have a ton of information already saved in your previous lich folder, the fastest way to update to Lich5 is to open the Lich5 folder, open your existing lich folder, select ALL in your existing lich folder, and drag it over to the Lich5 folder. DO NOT OVERWRITE any files that already exist. If you do, your new Lich5 installation will not work. Always keep the existing Lich5 file when copying over your old information. You did back up your existing lich folder, right?
# Log in as you normally would. The Lich Quick Game Entry and Game Entry windows will look different, so don't be surprised. The Lich Quick Game Entry window should show your accounts in tabs on the left side, click through them to be sure your characters are all still listed under their tabs.

'''Note4:''' The script 'sloot' is very popular, and it is confusing to keep track of which sloot variant out there is best. The latest actively maintained version is availble under the Jinx gtk3-scripts repository:
<pre>
;jinx repo add gtk3-scripts https://gtk3.elanthia.online
;jinx script update sloot.lic --repo=gtk3=scripts --force
;jinx data install sloot.ui --repo=gtk3=scripts
</pre>

Special note to Profanity / Illthorn and other third-party FrontEnd users - this installer does not create an entry to the Environment Path variable. If you're using a third-party FrontEnd, be sure to add the Ruby4Lich5\bin directory to your path. See how [https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/ here].

Additional assistance in installation can be found in the scripting channel of the GemStone [https://discord.gg/KF9Wr8u Discord].

===Mac OS X===

Players with Macs can use [[Mac_Installation_-_Lich_(software) | Installing Lich on Macs]] for installation help.

This process works well for Mac OS Catalina and Big Sur.

If you have not updated your Mac OS yet, these instructions may work depending on your actual version. If you run into a snag, follow the contact instructions provided.

===Chromebook & Debian variants===
The following steps should install Lich and Profanity for users of Debian/Chromebooks. Profanity is a terminal-based Front-End that will let you play the game (in lieu of The Wizard or Stormfront).

Update the list of available software and make sure some requirements are installed:

<pre>
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y install autoconf bison build-essential libssl-dev libyaml-dev libreadline6-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm6 libgdbm-dev libsqlite3-dev unzip
</pre>

Install '''<tt>[https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv rbenv]</tt>''', a Ruby version manager. Add it to the <tt>PATH</tt> so that it will work outside of its own directory, and set it up to work when you launch the shell (terminal):
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
</pre>

Run the shell's launch script now to enable those two changes and get rbenv working:
<pre>
source ~/.bashrc
</pre>

Download the tools to let rbenv install Ruby on its own, then install Ruby 2.5.1 and set it to be our default version of Ruby system-wide:
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
rbenv install 2.5.1 -v
rbenv global 2.5.1
</pre>

Tell Ruby not to create documentation for its gems (plugins/packages) unless asked, because it takes a long time and they are available online. Then install the dependencies for Lich and Profanity:
<pre>
echo "gem: --no-document" > ~/.gemrc
gem install sqlite3 gtk2 curses
</pre>

Install Lich and Profanity:
<pre>
curl --remote-name https://lichproject.org/download/lich-4.6.49.zip
unzip lich-*.zip
git clone https://github.com/matt-lowe/ProfanityFE.git
</pre>

$ cd ~
$ curl --remote-name https://lichproject.org/download/lich-4.6.52.zip
$ unzip lich-4.6.52.zip
</pre>

5. Clone Profanity:
<pre>

Zelnorn

2021-02-24T02:45:52Z

ATHIAS: Updated to confirm level 60 as requirement for Zelnorn

{{material
| off = +10
| def = +10
| str = ?
| dur = ?
| weight = Unknown
| use = Armor, Weaponry, Shields
| rarity = Extremely Rare
| special = Bonus to AS and DS
| color = Golden
| dye = Yes
}}

'''Zelnorn''' has the unique property of enhancing [[attack strength]] as well as [[defensive strength]].

The metal appears to be identical to [[steel]], as far as weight, strength, and durability are concerned. The makeup of the material is unknown, and the metal cannot be [[enchant]]ed by normal means. The natural color of the metal is a golden hue, but it can also be dyed any color.

A character must reach level 60 before they are able hold '''Zelnorn'''. Previously this requirement was stated as being capable of taking on a [[massive troll king]]. The innate abilities are significantly more powerful than standard materials, which is why a higher than normal level restriction applies.

==Items==
Zelnorn was released during [[Ebon Gate 2006|Ebon Gate]], in the year 5106.

Two sets of zelnorn armor were released at Ebon Gate 5107.

Two sets of zelnorn longswords were released at [[Ebon Gate 2008|Ebon Gate 5108]].

==Enhancements==
The enchant of the metal in its base state is +10/+10. This natural bonus can be enhanced, but the AS/DS bonuses should always be within one point of one another. It can be enchanted through the [[premium point]]s system, and when enchanted through this system both the attack strength and defensive strength bonus provided by the item will be increased, each one alternating between +3 and +2 such that the bonus to both AS and DS remains relatively equal. For example, a zelnorn item that was originally +15/+15 and is enchanted once will provide a +18 bonus to AS and a +17 bonus to DS. Enchanted twice, the item will provide a +20 bonus to both AS and DS.

Zelnorn takes the [[Item properties|primary enhancement slot]], so it is not compatible with flares. Zelnorn weapons are effectively [[defender weapon]]s (up to +25/+25). Zelnorn shields and armor provide their bonus AS to all attacks, including bolt spells.

Zelnorn is considered 10x when it is +25 AS / +25 DS.

Bag of Holding

2021-02-23T19:40:40Z

ATHIAS: Added bloodscrip value for each item

{{TOCright|limit=3}}
'''Bag of Holding''' was originally released during the June 2018 run of [[Duskruin Arena]]. This container is designed to allow storage of a large number of items within a single space, whether on a [[character]] or within a locker, mechanically similar to a container in a [[player run shop]]. In doing so, one is able to exceed normal limits on items held by a character or within their locker. The pieces to create a Bag of Holding are found only in the [[Duskruin Arena#The Bank Heist|Bank Heist]].

==Assembly==
A '''treasure box''' is the first required item to obtain on your quest for a Bag of Holding. All 12 '''stolen goods''' are placed into this box for the item to be created.

Found at: [The Ophidian Cabal, Leader - 27159]
<pre{{log2}}>
>ask ringleader for box
An Ophidian Cabal ringleader asks, "In need of a storage container for those stolen goods? I can loan one to you as long as you promise to return it to me filled with items from the bank's vault. Just ask me again about the box within 30 seconds to receive one."

>ask ringleader for box
An Ophidian Cabal ringleader pulls a treasure box from beneath an oversized dark wooden desk and hands it to you. "Here you go. Fill it up for me, and I will reward you for your efforts."
</pre>

===Treasure Box Analyze===
<pre{{log2}}>
>analyze box
You analyze your treasure box and sense that the item cannot be altered in any way.

The creator has also provided the following information:
This treasure box is a container designed to hold stolen goods from Bloodriven Village. It will hold one each of 12 stolen goods, as well as a special blood crystal. Once you have found all 12 items, speak with the ringleader inside his hideout.

Please note that once you place an item inside this box, it cannot be removed.

You get no sense of whether or not the box may be further lightened.
</pre>

==Minor Bag of Holding==
After placing all twelve stolen goods into your treasure box, you can SHOW the treasure box to the Ophidian Cabal ringleader, and it will be transformed into a '''treasure chest'''.

<pre{{log2}}>
You just stored the twelfth piece! You should go speak with the Ophidian Cabal ringleader, and SHOW him your treasure box.

>show box to ringleader
"Well, I'll be a banker's bosom!" exclaims an Ophidian Cabal ringleader. "I can't believe you found them all! Sure, I had high hopes for you, Alastir, but this goes above and beyond all my expectations! I'll just take that full box and give you this, instead. I'm sure you'll have no trouble filling it with your own treasures."

An Ophidian Cabal ringleader takes your filled box and shoves an empty treasure chest into your hand. He smiles proudly and pats you on the shoulder.
</pre>

===Minor Bag of Holding Analyze===
<pre{{log2}}>
>analyze chest
You analyze your treasure chest and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "There do not seem to be any specific limitations."

The creator has also provided the following information:
This chest is a Bag of Holding (minor) reward from the Bank Heist at Duskruin Arena. Items stored inside will count only as one item (the container). The current properties of this chest are as follows:

Unique Item Capacity: 1 items -- carrying 0 total items, 0 unique items
Per-Item Capacity: Up to 10 of the same item
Max Encum of Container: 50 pounds (currently carrying 0 pounds)
Despite any messages below, this item cannot be lightened or deepened.

USAGE: DROP/PUT, POKE, PULL (to remove focused item), PUSH, RAISE, RUB, TOUCH, TURN (to set focus on an item to remove).

Important Note: GET will not work with this container.

You get no sense of whether or not the chest may be further lightened.
</pre>

==Major Bag of Holding==
If you are fortunate enough to find a multifaceted blood crystal, you can go back to the ringleader to obtain a '''large treasure sack with a blood crystal clasp''', this is a '''Major Bag of Holding'''. The multifaceted blood crystal is as rare as a golvern segment is for [[MoonShard pendant]]s.

<pre{{log2}}>
>ask ringleader about crystal
An Ophidian Cabal ringleader says, "You got your paws on a blood crystal? Well, then... you're the kind of worker I'm after. I'll keep my word and reward you handsomely for bringing me that crystal. Here, let me unburden you of that, and in return, I'll trade you a final time, and give you a sack that has a special clasp on it. It'll only take a moment, and if you have anything stored, I'll be sure to move it over to the new container."

With that, the ringleader takes both the crystal and the chest from you, pockets the crystal and pulls a sack from beneath an oversized dark wooden desk. "See? I said only a moment, and it wasn't a minute longer. I believe you'll find this most versatile. Return to me if you find more."
</pre>

===Making Major Bag Wearable===

You get to choose between 3 locations--back, shoulder, or belt--each location comes with a different price tag.

<pre{{log2}}>
>ask ringleader about back
An Ophidian Cabal ringleader glances at your empty hand and says, "Yep, you heard right. I can attach a strap to a sack that has one of those blood crystal clasps, and then you can wear it on your back. It'll cost you 1,000 bloodscrip if you're interested. Hold the container in your right hand, and make sure you've got enough redeemed bloodscrip to cover the cost. I'll get you fixed up right away."

>ask ringleader about shoulder
An Ophidian Cabal ringleader glances at your empty hand and says, "Yep, you heard right. I can attach a strap to a sack that has one of those blood crystal clasps, and then you can wear it on your shoulder. It'll cost you 2,500 bloodscrip if you're interested. Hold the container in your right hand, and make sure you've got enough redeemed bloodscrip to cover the cost. I'll get you fixed up right away."

>ask ringleader about belt
An Ophidian Cabal ringleader glances at your empty hand and says, "Yep, you heard right. I can attach a strap to a sack that has one of those blood crystal clasps, and then you can wear it on your belt. It'll cost you 10,000 bloodscrip if you're interested. Hold the container in your right hand, and make sure you've got enough redeemed bloodscrip to cover the cost. I'll get you fixed up right away."
</pre>

===Upgrade Items===

:{| {{prettytable}}
|- style="font-size:larger; background-color:lightblue;"
! colspan=2|Upgrade Items
|-

| This will increase the max encumbrance of the container, up to 200.
|-

|-
! a material swatch
| This will increase the unique item capacity, up to 100.
|-

| This will provide weight reduction up to 100%
|-
|}

<pre{{log2}}>
You analyze your sparkling dust and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "There do not seem to be any specific limitations."

The creator has also provided the following information:

This is an expander item for the Bag of Holding (a large treasure sack) from Duskruin Arena. (NOTE: This will NOT work with the "a treasure chest", the first level of reward from the OC ringleader.) These expanders will adjust one of these containers in one of four ways -- overall unique capacity, per-item capacity, max allowed weight, and weight reduction. This item, a handful of sparkling dust, will expand "a treasure sack" as follows:

- SPRINKLE on a container to increase total weight allowance by 5 pounds

This item can NOT be used as alter fodder and may not be altered in any way.
