|analyze= 
You analyze the dark leather grimoire and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
{{blue|OVERVIEW}}

Hello there, intrepid player! This dark leather grimoire is a Spell Book item. These items allow you to transfer spells (and their charges) from scrolls to be stored within this grimoire's pages.

{{blue|UNLOCKS}}

Tier 1 - OTS. You may TRANSFER spells into the grimoire, PONDER to select spells, and SCRATCH to remove them.
Tier 2 - The grimoire gives more information about the number of charges remaining.
Tier 3 - You may CLEAN the grimoire 1x/day to restore a selected spell slot (1 charge for non-war spells, 40 charges for war spells).
Tier 4 - You may STARE at the grimoire 1x/day to gain Fash'lo'nae's Knowledge (1750).
RP Verbs - Unlocks RP verbs (FLIP, SNAP, TOUCH, BRUSH, RUB, RAISE, and POINT).

Currently this book is {{blue|Tier 1}} and has {{blue|1}} pages which contain up to 6 spells each. You may "TURN grimoire" to go to the next page or "TURN grimoire TO #" to go to a specific page.

The RP verbs are: {{blue|Locked}}.

{{blue|ALTERING}}

This grimoire may be freely altered but should remain in relatively good repair (e.g. it cannot be in an unreadable state).

You get no sense of whether or not the grimoire may be further lightened.

==Additional Information==
To transfer a spell from a scroll, use {{boldmono|PONDER}} to first select the individual spell on a scroll and then use {{boldmono|TRANSFER}}, similar to a [[Sigil Staff]].

(Delyorik: I beg to differ from the above. I find that using TRANSFER spellnumber GRIMOIRE works just fine.)

Spell knowledge scrolls (written in vibrant ink) cannot be transferred to the book. Only spells below level 20 may be transferred. The spell must be findable on scrolls to be recharged.

If the scroll has more charges than the book can hold, the book will transfer charges up to the maximum (40) and leave the remaining charges on the scroll.

Transferring a spell off of a scrollwill reduce the value similar to how it is done with a [[Sigil Staff]].

If the last charge of a spell is used up in the book, that spell slot will become empty and available for transferring another spell. {{boldmono|SCRATCH}} can be used to remove a spell from the book, making that slot available for use again.

Order of Voln

2024-05-14T17:33:42Z

BURTNETTJ: /* Wehnimer's Landing (Lich 18214), Icemule Trace, Solhaven (Lich 13197), and Ta'Vaalor Visions */

{{Order of Voln navigation}}
The '''Order of Voln''' is a [[society]] devoted to the release of [[undead]] from the torment they endure on [[Elanthia]].
{{TOC limit|2}}
== History ==

{{main|The History of the Order of Voln}}

== Joining ==

To join the Order of Voln, an adventurer must first receive an invitation. This invitation may be extended to any adventurer, [[level]] 3 or higher, by the '''[[grizzled old warrior]]''' in [[Wehnimer's Landing]], the '''[[robed erithian monk]]''' in [[Ta'Vaalor]], or by a Master (Rank 26 member) in the Order. Masters can extend an invitation with the command {{mono|[[INVITE]] <NAME>}}.

Once invited, prospective members must travel to an Order of Voln monastery, stow the items in their hands, and enter the pool of water. While relaxing in the pool, the prospective member will receive a series of messages. Once the message "''you have been cleansed of all worldly pollutions''" has been received, they will then be permitted to enter the monastery proper.

Upon entering the monastery, prospective members must visit the Grandmaster. He will welcome and instruct the individual on the Order's mission, a bit of history and the responsibilities of membership.

Finally, the Grandmaster will direct the prospective member to recite an oath to the [[Voln|Great Spirit Voln]]:

<blockquote>"I pledge to aid and succor the Great Spirit Voln in his mission on Elanthia."</blockquote>

Upon correctly repeating this oath the character will then receive another welcome from the Grandmaster and additional instructions on how to proceed. The new member may then begin their journey along the Path to Enlightenment by visiting the first monk on the path.

''Note: You cannot join the Order of Voln if you are currently a member of another [[society]], such as the [[Council of Light]] or the [[Guardians of Sunfist]].''

== Advancement ==

Members receive a new usable [[#Symbols|symbol]] for each rank gained in the Order of Voln. To advance in rank, one must earn a certain amount of [[#Favor|favor]] (see section below), visit a monk on the Path to Enlightenment, and then complete a task. To check if one has enough favor to obtain the next rank, one can either visit a monk on the Path or enter the [[#Visions|vision]] room and [[PRAY]].

If in River's Rest and eligible to step, one can visit the Voln Outpost and ask the monk present about "travel" and a free chronomage orb will be given for travel to Wehnimer's Landing (return trip included).

The first rank and [[Symbol of Recognition]] are given without any task or favor requirement. The favor requirement increases for each additional step.

Using symbols costs favor but does '''not''' slow down advancement, only the amount of favor cumulatively earned matters.

== Favor ==
{{main|Favor}}
{{#section:Favor|intro}}

== Symbols ==

Members of the Order of Voln gain access to one new [[symbol]] per rank. Master's of the Order have access to a total of 26 symbols. Symbols are similar to [[spell]]s but are powered by favor instead of mana. The favor cost to activate symbols increases with a character's level. However, the amount of favor gained from releasing an undead also increases with level.

The favor required to activate a symbol is character level-based. For example, the favor cost for one use of symbol of courage for a level 20 member is 29 units and increases to 218 units for a level 100 character. Although there is nearly a 7 fold increase in cost, this is offset by a higher percentage of favor gained by the 100 level character. A level 20 character releasing a level 20 creature will receive (20 ÷ 15) * 20 = 27 units of favor. A level 100 character releasing a level 100 undead receives (100 ÷ 15) * 100 = 667 units of favor.

The relative cost column, in the table below, can be used to compare one symbol's cost to another. For example, Symbol of Return's favor cost is approximately 10x the cost of Symbol of Courage. Actual cost will vary based upon the character's level.

===Symbol Table===
Note: Each symbol has a dedicated page with more detailed information.

Masters (rank 26 members) of the Order of Voln may enter the [[Master's hall]] which includes:
* Access to a scrying-type effect centered on a few rooms via the [[tapestry]] (in [[Wehnimer's Landing]])

* Access to teleportation centered on a few rooms via the tapestry (in Wehnimer's Landing)

* Access to a [[favor]]-measuring [[globe]] and the ability to trade a [[deed]] for favor via the globe

== Visions ==

By praying in the monastery meditation chambers in the Landing and Ta'Vaalor, at the Altar in the Ice Garden of Voln in Icemule Trace, or in the Aegis Shrine of Fasthr's Lance on Liabo Esplanade in Solhaven, members will receive a vision indicating the percentage of favor they have acquired toward completion of the step. Visions are in 10% increments. There is also a vision if you pray after receiving but before completing a task to step.

=== Wehnimer's Landing (Lich 18214), Icemule Trace (Lich 3369), Solhaven (Lich 13197), and Ta'Vaalor Visions ===

<pre{{log2}}
>PRAY
You kneel down and begin your prayers.

Followed (approximately 45 seconds) by one of the following eleven visions.

*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a flower that has not yet begun to open. (0 to <10%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a baby eagle barely hatched from its egg. (10 to <20%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a butterfly drying its wings on a leaf. (20 to <30%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of the headwaters of a mighty river. Here it has joined with several other streams and is growing quickly. (30 to <40%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a weaver on a loom, nearly half way in the creation of an intricate tapestry. (40 to <50%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a brief vision of twin bowls of wine. You reach out and empty the contents of one into the other filling it up. You have a sudden desire to fill up the empty bowl too. (50 to <60%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a hiker as he clears the peak of a hill and begins to descend the other side. (60 to <70%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a lute, finely crafted, but missing a third of its strings. (70 to <80%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a rainbow forming as a thunder storm begins to abate. (80 to <90%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a path as it winds its way through a forest and to the edge of a clear pool. You have a sudden desire to jump in but cannot. (90 to <100%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a pool of clear water. You dive in and swim to the bottom where you find a gold coin engraved with the image of Voln. An overwhelming feeling makes you realize that you are indeed ready to take the next step along the Path to Enlightenment. (100%)

===River's Rest Visions===

Praying in the garden in River's Rest (Lich #18374, the room with the large wooden door in the east wall) gives a different set of visions.

*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a monastery built of riverstone and timber and a messenger running to approach the nearest monk. The messenger exclaims, "A call has gone out from Nydds. The Order is needed in the South! Make fast your preparations to begin. Lord Voln calls!" (0 to <10%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a Grandmaster walking before an assembly of monks outfitted for war and travel. He blesses each monk separately before saying, "Now is the time to heed Lord Voln's call. Go forth, do good, and know Torre awaits your return." (10 to <20%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a column of monks marching over a hill, under banners of blue and gold and black and white. In the distance behind them, a great river stretches toward a brilliant shining sea and at its mouth, a turtle-egg shaped island. (20 to <30%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a company of dust-covered monks sitting around campfires. Traveling equipment lies around them, and you hear talk of Selanthia and Tamzyrr. One subdued voice says, "It's not too late to turn back." (30 to <40%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a single monk standing atop a hill at the edge of a road, gazing at a great stone city with a mountain peak looming behind it.

*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a company of monks marching, surrounded by dry heat and hot dust.

*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a column of monks standing on the side of a road allowing caravans of merchants and refugees to pass them by.

*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a band of monks silhouetted against the radiant sky at sunset, and beyond them, columns of black smoke rise from unseen sources. A voice whispers softly, "It's begun, we are nearly there!" (70 to <80%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a company of monks marching quickly down a road. Several pointing ahead, others slinging shields onto their arms, and some beginning to chant spells through ragged breaths of exertion. Someone shouts, "Rally! We're almost there!" (80 to <90%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a great walled city and a host of undead moving swiftly towards it. On the opposite side of the city, you see a column of monks under banners of blue and gold and black and white, racing to intercept the undead, their journey nearly complete. (90 to <100%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of an undead host charging across a plain before the gates of a great walled city. Directly before them stands a company of monks underneath flowing banners of blue and gold and black and white. They gaze stoically toward the undead until a voice from high above upon the city wall shouts, "Are you Torre? Have you arrived at last?" Their eyes narrow with accompanying confident expressions, and a single monk quietly says, "Aye," which is followed by the crushing sound of metal upon metal. (100%)

Order of Voln

2024-05-14T17:30:38Z

BURTNETTJ: /* Wehnimer's Landing (Lich 18214), Icemule Trace, Solhaven, and Ta'Vaalor Visions */

{{Order of Voln navigation}}
The '''Order of Voln''' is a [[society]] devoted to the release of [[undead]] from the torment they endure on [[Elanthia]].
{{TOC limit|2}}
== History ==

{{main|The History of the Order of Voln}}

== Joining ==

To join the Order of Voln, an adventurer must first receive an invitation. This invitation may be extended to any adventurer, [[level]] 3 or higher, by the '''[[grizzled old warrior]]''' in [[Wehnimer's Landing]], the '''[[robed erithian monk]]''' in [[Ta'Vaalor]], or by a Master (Rank 26 member) in the Order. Masters can extend an invitation with the command {{mono|[[INVITE]] <NAME>}}.

Once invited, prospective members must travel to an Order of Voln monastery, stow the items in their hands, and enter the pool of water. While relaxing in the pool, the prospective member will receive a series of messages. Once the message "''you have been cleansed of all worldly pollutions''" has been received, they will then be permitted to enter the monastery proper.

Upon entering the monastery, prospective members must visit the Grandmaster. He will welcome and instruct the individual on the Order's mission, a bit of history and the responsibilities of membership.

Finally, the Grandmaster will direct the prospective member to recite an oath to the [[Voln|Great Spirit Voln]]:

<blockquote>"I pledge to aid and succor the Great Spirit Voln in his mission on Elanthia."</blockquote>

Upon correctly repeating this oath the character will then receive another welcome from the Grandmaster and additional instructions on how to proceed. The new member may then begin their journey along the Path to Enlightenment by visiting the first monk on the path.

''Note: You cannot join the Order of Voln if you are currently a member of another [[society]], such as the [[Council of Light]] or the [[Guardians of Sunfist]].''

== Advancement ==

Members receive a new usable [[#Symbols|symbol]] for each rank gained in the Order of Voln. To advance in rank, one must earn a certain amount of [[#Favor|favor]] (see section below), visit a monk on the Path to Enlightenment, and then complete a task. To check if one has enough favor to obtain the next rank, one can either visit a monk on the Path or enter the [[#Visions|vision]] room and [[PRAY]].

If in River's Rest and eligible to step, one can visit the Voln Outpost and ask the monk present about "travel" and a free chronomage orb will be given for travel to Wehnimer's Landing (return trip included).

The first rank and [[Symbol of Recognition]] are given without any task or favor requirement. The favor requirement increases for each additional step.

Using symbols costs favor but does '''not''' slow down advancement, only the amount of favor cumulatively earned matters.

== Favor ==
{{main|Favor}}
{{#section:Favor|intro}}

== Symbols ==

Members of the Order of Voln gain access to one new [[symbol]] per rank. Master's of the Order have access to a total of 26 symbols. Symbols are similar to [[spell]]s but are powered by favor instead of mana. The favor cost to activate symbols increases with a character's level. However, the amount of favor gained from releasing an undead also increases with level.

The favor required to activate a symbol is character level-based. For example, the favor cost for one use of symbol of courage for a level 20 member is 29 units and increases to 218 units for a level 100 character. Although there is nearly a 7 fold increase in cost, this is offset by a higher percentage of favor gained by the 100 level character. A level 20 character releasing a level 20 creature will receive (20 ÷ 15) * 20 = 27 units of favor. A level 100 character releasing a level 100 undead receives (100 ÷ 15) * 100 = 667 units of favor.

The relative cost column, in the table below, can be used to compare one symbol's cost to another. For example, Symbol of Return's favor cost is approximately 10x the cost of Symbol of Courage. Actual cost will vary based upon the character's level.

===Symbol Table===
Note: Each symbol has a dedicated page with more detailed information.

Masters (rank 26 members) of the Order of Voln may enter the [[Master's hall]] which includes:

* Access to teleportation centered on a few rooms via the tapestry (in Wehnimer's Landing)

* Access to a [[favor]]-measuring [[globe]] and the ability to trade a [[deed]] for favor via the globe

== Visions ==

By praying in the monastery meditation chambers in the Landing and Ta'Vaalor, at the Altar in the Ice Garden of Voln in Icemule Trace, or in the Aegis Shrine of Fasthr's Lance on Liabo Esplanade in Solhaven, members will receive a vision indicating the percentage of favor they have acquired toward completion of the step. Visions are in 10% increments. There is also a vision if you pray after receiving but before completing a task to step.

=== Wehnimer's Landing (Lich 18214), Icemule Trace, Solhaven (Lich 13197), and Ta'Vaalor Visions ===

<pre{{log2}}
>PRAY
You kneel down and begin your prayers.

Followed (approximately 45 seconds) by one of the following eleven visions.

*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a flower that has not yet begun to open. (0 to <10%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a baby eagle barely hatched from its egg. (10 to <20%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a butterfly drying its wings on a leaf. (20 to <30%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of the headwaters of a mighty river. Here it has joined with several other streams and is growing quickly. (30 to <40%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a weaver on a loom, nearly half way in the creation of an intricate tapestry. (40 to <50%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a brief vision of twin bowls of wine. You reach out and empty the contents of one into the other filling it up. You have a sudden desire to fill up the empty bowl too. (50 to <60%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a hiker as he clears the peak of a hill and begins to descend the other side. (60 to <70%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a lute, finely crafted, but missing a third of its strings. (70 to <80%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a rainbow forming as a thunder storm begins to abate. (80 to <90%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a path as it winds its way through a forest and to the edge of a clear pool. You have a sudden desire to jump in but cannot. (90 to <100%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a pool of clear water. You dive in and swim to the bottom where you find a gold coin engraved with the image of Voln. An overwhelming feeling makes you realize that you are indeed ready to take the next step along the Path to Enlightenment. (100%)

===River's Rest Visions===

Praying in the garden in River's Rest (Lich #18374, the room with the large wooden door in the east wall) gives a different set of visions.

*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a monastery built of riverstone and timber and a messenger running to approach the nearest monk. The messenger exclaims, "A call has gone out from Nydds. The Order is needed in the South! Make fast your preparations to begin. Lord Voln calls!" (0 to <10%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a Grandmaster walking before an assembly of monks outfitted for war and travel. He blesses each monk separately before saying, "Now is the time to heed Lord Voln's call. Go forth, do good, and know Torre awaits your return." (10 to <20%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a column of monks marching over a hill, under banners of blue and gold and black and white. In the distance behind them, a great river stretches toward a brilliant shining sea and at its mouth, a turtle-egg shaped island. (20 to <30%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a company of dust-covered monks sitting around campfires. Traveling equipment lies around them, and you hear talk of Selanthia and Tamzyrr. One subdued voice says, "It's not too late to turn back." (30 to <40%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a single monk standing atop a hill at the edge of a road, gazing at a great stone city with a mountain peak looming behind it. Merchant caravans pass her on the road, and another monk appears at her side saying, "The center of it all, and we must pass it, nearly halfway to Elstreth." (40 to <50%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a company of monks marching, surrounded by dry heat and hot dust. Word passes up and down the column of Chastonia reached and Aldora not far ahead. One monk quips, "Lets hope the next half of this journey has better rations than the last." (50 to <60%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a column of monks standing on the side of a road allowing caravans of merchants and refugees to pass them by. Murmurs pass through the column of a battle at an Aldoran town known as Tyllan, and the monks gaze determinedly to the south. (60 to <70%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a band of monks silhouetted against the radiant sky at sunset, and beyond them, columns of black smoke rise from unseen sources. A voice whispers softly, "It's begun, we are nearly there!" (70 to <80%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a company of monks marching quickly down a road. Several pointing ahead, others slinging shields onto their arms, and some beginning to chant spells through ragged breaths of exertion. Someone shouts, "Rally! We're almost there!" (80 to <90%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a great walled city and a host of undead moving swiftly towards it. On the opposite side of the city, you see a column of monks under banners of blue and gold and black and white, racing to intercept the undead, their journey nearly complete. (90 to <100%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of an undead host charging across a plain before the gates of a great walled city. Directly before them stands a company of monks underneath flowing banners of blue and gold and black and white. They gaze stoically toward the undead until a voice from high above upon the city wall shouts, "Are you Torre? Have you arrived at last?" Their eyes narrow with accompanying confident expressions, and a single monk quietly says, "Aye," which is followed by the crushing sound of metal upon metal. (100%)

== Society Titles ==
As a member of the Order of Voln, characters will have access to post-name titles, dependent on which steps they have completed.
*Steps 1–7: Postulate of the Order of Voln
*Steps 8–13: Novitiate of the Order of Voln
*Steps 14–17: Seminarian of the Order of Voln
*Steps 18–26: Transitional Diaconate of the Order of Voln

This invitation may be extended to any adventurer, [[level]] 3 or higher, by the '''[[grizzled old warrior]]''' in [[Wehnimer's Landing]], the '''[[robed erithian monk]]''' in [[Ta'Vaalor]], or by a Master (Rank 26 member) in the Order. Masters can extend an invitation with the command {{mono|[[INVITE]] <NAME>}}.

Once invited, prospective members must travel to an Order of Voln monastery, stow the items in their hands, and enter the pool of water. While relaxing in the pool, the prospective member will receive a series of messages. Once the message "''you have been cleansed of all worldly pollutions''" has been received, they will then be permitted to enter the monastery proper.

Upon entering the monastery, prospective members must visit the Grandmaster. He will welcome and instruct the individual on the Order's mission, a bit of history and the responsibilities of membership.

Finally, the Grandmaster will direct the prospective member to recite an oath to the [[Voln|Great Spirit Voln]]:

<blockquote>"I pledge to aid and succor the Great Spirit Voln in his mission on Elanthia."</blockquote>

Upon correctly repeating this oath the character will then receive another welcome from the Grandmaster and additional instructions on how to proceed. The new member may then begin their journey along the Path to Enlightenment by visiting the first monk on the path.

''Note: You cannot join the Order of Voln if you are currently a member of another [[society]], such as the [[Council of Light]] or the [[Guardians of Sunfist]].''

== Advancement ==

Members receive a new usable [[#Symbols|symbol]] for each rank gained in the Order of Voln. To advance in rank, one must earn a certain amount of [[#Favor|favor]] (see section below), visit a monk on the Path to Enlightenment, and then complete a task. To check if one has enough favor to obtain the next rank, one can either visit a monk on the Path or enter the [[#Visions|vision]] room and [[PRAY]].

If in River's Rest and eligible to step, one can visit the Voln Outpost and ask the monk present about "travel" and a free chronomage orb will be given for travel to Wehnimer's Landing (return trip included).

The first rank and [[Symbol of Recognition]] are given without any task or favor requirement. The favor requirement increases for each additional step.

Using symbols costs favor but does '''not''' slow down advancement, only the amount of favor cumulatively earned matters.

== Favor ==
{{main|Favor}}
{{#section:Favor|intro}}

== Symbols ==

Members of the Order of Voln gain access to one new [[symbol]] per rank. Master's of the Order have access to a total of 26 symbols. Symbols are similar to [[spell]]s but are powered by favor instead of mana. The favor cost to activate symbols increases with a character's level. However, the amount of favor gained from releasing an undead also increases with level.

The favor required to activate a symbol is character level-based. For example, the favor cost for one use of symbol of courage for a level 20 member is 29 units and increases to 218 units for a level 100 character. Although there is nearly a 7 fold increase in cost, this is offset by a higher percentage of favor gained by the 100 level character. A level 20 character releasing a level 20 creature will receive (20 ÷ 15) * 20 = 27 units of favor. A level 100 character releasing a level 100 undead receives (100 ÷ 15) * 100 = 667 units of favor.

The relative cost column, in the table below, can be used to compare one symbol's cost to another. For example, Symbol of Return's favor cost is approximately 10x the cost of Symbol of Courage. Actual cost will vary based upon the character's level.

* Access to teleportation centered on a few rooms via the tapestry (in Wehnimer's Landing)

* Access to a [[favor]]-measuring [[globe]] and the ability to trade a [[deed]] for favor via the globe

== Visions ==

By praying in the monastery meditation chambers in the Landing and Ta'Vaalor, at the Altar in the Ice Garden of Voln in Icemule Trace, or in the Aegis Shrine of Fasthr's Lance on Liabo Esplanade in Solhaven, members will receive a vision indicating the percentage of favor they have acquired toward completion of the step. Visions are in 10% increments. There is also a vision if you pray after receiving but before completing a task to step.

=== Wehnimer's Landing (Lich 18214), Icemule Trace, Solhaven, and Ta'Vaalor Visions ===

<pre{{log2}}
>PRAY
You kneel down and begin your prayers.

Followed (approximately 45 seconds) by one of the following eleven visions.

*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a flower that has not yet begun to open. (0 to <10%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a baby eagle barely hatched from its egg. (10 to <20%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a butterfly drying its wings on a leaf. (20 to <30%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of the headwaters of a mighty river. Here it has joined with several other streams and is growing quickly. (30 to <40%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a weaver on a loom, nearly half way in the creation of an intricate tapestry. (40 to <50%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a brief vision of twin bowls of wine. You reach out and empty the contents of one into the other filling it up. You have a sudden desire to fill up the empty bowl too. (50 to <60%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a hiker as he clears the peak of a hill and begins to descend the other side. (60 to <70%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a lute, finely crafted, but missing a third of its strings. (70 to <80%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a rainbow forming as a thunder storm begins to abate. (80 to <90%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a path as it winds its way through a forest and to the edge of a clear pool. You have a sudden desire to jump in but cannot. (90 to <100%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection you see a vision of a pool of clear water. You dive in and swim to the bottom where you find a gold coin engraved with the image of Voln. An overwhelming feeling makes you realize that you are indeed ready to take the next step along the Path to Enlightenment. (100%)

===River's Rest Visions===

Praying in the garden in River's Rest (Lich #18374, the room with the large wooden door in the east wall) gives a different set of visions.

*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a monastery built of riverstone and timber and a messenger running to approach the nearest monk. The messenger exclaims, "A call has gone out from Nydds. The Order is needed in the South! Make fast your preparations to begin. Lord Voln calls!" (0 to <10%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a Grandmaster walking before an assembly of monks outfitted for war and travel. He blesses each monk separately before saying, "Now is the time to heed Lord Voln's call. Go forth, do good, and know Torre awaits your return." (10 to <20%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a column of monks marching over a hill, under banners of blue and gold and black and white. In the distance behind them, a great river stretches toward a brilliant shining sea and at its mouth, a turtle-egg shaped island. (20 to <30%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a company of dust-covered monks sitting around campfires. Traveling equipment lies around them, and you hear talk of Selanthia and Tamzyrr. One subdued voice says, "It's not too late to turn back." (30 to <40%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a single monk standing atop a hill at the edge of a road, gazing at a great stone city with a mountain peak looming behind it. Merchant caravans pass her on the road, and another monk appears at her side saying, "The center of it all, and we must pass it, nearly halfway to Elstreth." (40 to <50%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a company of monks marching, surrounded by dry heat and hot dust. Word passes up and down the column of Chastonia reached and Aldora not far ahead. One monk quips, "Lets hope the next half of this journey has better rations than the last." (50 to <60%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a column of monks standing on the side of a road allowing caravans of merchants and refugees to pass them by. Murmurs pass through the column of a battle at an Aldoran town known as Tyllan, and the monks gaze determinedly to the south. (60 to <70%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a band of monks silhouetted against the radiant sky at sunset, and beyond them, columns of black smoke rise from unseen sources. A voice whispers softly, "It's begun, we are nearly there!" (70 to <80%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a company of monks marching quickly down a road. Several pointing ahead, others slinging shields onto their arms, and some beginning to chant spells through ragged breaths of exertion. Someone shouts, "Rally! We're almost there!" (80 to <90%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of a great walled city and a host of undead moving swiftly towards it. On the opposite side of the city, you see a column of monks under banners of blue and gold and black and white, racing to intercept the undead, their journey nearly complete. (90 to <100%)
*After a few moments of prayer and reflection, you see a vision of an undead host charging across a plain before the gates of a great walled city. Directly before them stands a company of monks underneath flowing banners of blue and gold and black and white. They gaze stoically toward the undead until a voice from high above upon the city wall shouts, "Are you Torre? Have you arrived at last?" Their eyes narrow with accompanying confident expressions, and a single monk quietly says, "Aye," which is followed by the crushing sound of metal upon metal. (100%)

== Society Titles ==
As a member of the Order of Voln, characters will have access to post-name titles, dependent on which steps they have completed.
*Steps 1–7: Postulate of the Order of Voln
*Steps 8–13: Novitiate of the Order of Voln

The Firebird

2024-05-07T14:15:34Z

BURTNETTJ:

'''The Firebird''' was introduced in 5115 (2015) as a merchant ship and place to battle [[Spirit Beast]]s. These battles take place in [[Talondown Arena]].

<div class="alert alert-danger" style="text-align:center">'''The Firebird was lost and presumed destroyed in late 5121, please be sure to check [[Spirit Beasts]] for the most up-to-date information regarding that system (or just visit the Locations listed below for when it shows up)'''</div> 

The Firebird frequently travels from place to place, and may take off at any time, taking any passengers with it. The ship will send three signals before it takes off, and transport spells and [[society]] abilities can be used to escape should the ship embark with passengers aboard.

[[Image:Firebird.png|750px]]

==Appearance==
'''A gleaming fireleaf airship

The hull of the airship is adorned in red brass and gold leaf, and ambient light flickers off of the filigree metal like tiny sparks of flame. A massive phoenix figurehead stares defiantly out from the prow over a windowed lounge at the ship's fore. Sharp tongues of fire are etched into the hull around a gangway in the port side.

Initially released during the April 2016 [[Duskruin Arena]], this pendant acts like a [[Glamour crystal|glamour crystal]] when used. The pendant itself is useless without the accompanying [[Moon-Filled Pendant#Moon Shards|moon shards]] found only in the [[Duskruin Arena#Sewers|sewers]]. During the August 2016 run, a new feature was added with [[Moon-Filled Pendant#Bloodrunes|bloodrunes]] that add an additional description to the glamoured affect.

They change to cluster, sphere, then a completed moon with each combination and are all a different color for the bundles. The old dwarven archaeologist inside the Underground Temple in the Duskruin Arena exchanges [[bloodscrip]] for moonshard parts.

|-
| After the first few words of your song leave your mouth, your ears go deaf and your vision falls black. Your lips continue to move, but you hear nothing at all, not even your own voice.
Scenery unfolds around you, and you find yourself standing at the base of the DragonSpine Mountains in front of a thin section of the Locksmehr River. The water has a faint tinge of red, and you notice something protruding from its bank. You kneel down and scoop up an oily stone, gazing curiously at its crimson-laced porous surface. In an unfamiliar gravelly voice, you murmur, "The Gods have answered, and they now share with us this gift from the blood ravine."
Your breathing slows and your muscles tighten to a point of paralysis. Time seems to speed up as if hundreds of years were passing before your eyes while you remain unable to move. The moons rise and fall in the sky, and hundreds of men and women visit the water's edge only to leave with sacks full of the red flint-like substance. With a blink, time slows and you feel your breathing return to normal as your muscles relax.
You glance down to see a dried river bed, and your hand is empty, no longer holding the treasured ur-barath stone.
| After finishing her song's verse, BARD drops to her knees, gazing down. She reaches toward the floor and scoops at the air, contemplating her empty hand. She stares intently, a distant look in her eyes.
|-
| You continue to sing, but you remain unable to hear your own words. Your surroundings are unfamiliar.
Three participants clothed in ripped cloth and bloodied armor stand before you, their heads bowed in respect. Hundreds of spectators cheer eagerly as they await your confirmation of the triumphant combatants. You glance down and take note of three silver and kelyn pendants in your hand, each filled with four miniature moons. You silently approach the trio, and in a methodical and practiced production, drape a pendant around each participant's neck. The winners fall to their knees as you recite, "Your physical prowess has proven you worthy of this gift from our Gods. Wear it with pride in remembrance of this day...the day you became a true Champion!" The rest of your words are drowned out by the cheering crowds who follow the victors out of the arena and toward a great temple.
Black clouds of dust obscure your vision, and all sounds cease. You feel incredibly disoriented.
| BARD maintains her lifeless gaze. An unfamiliar, gravelly voice escapes her lips as she speaks, "Your physical prowess has proven you worthy of this gift from our Gods. Wear it with pride in remembrance of this day...the day you became a true Champion!" A distant chorus of cheers, origin unknown, drowns out any further speech.
|-
| Words spill across your lips as they've done many times before, but you are still unable to hear your own voice.
A deep ominous rumble echoes in the distance. The ground begins to tremble and shake violently. A heavy downpour soaks the terrain. Suddenly, waves of mud and debris slide across the ground and engulfs the arena. The ground splits open and swallows the surrounding buildings including the sacred temple, suffocating them in a dark ocean of dust and rubble.
Tiny particles in the air force you to blink rapidly, but you are unable to see. You shut your eyes tight and rub them with clenched fists, sandy grit scraping across your cornea. You scream out in pain, but are unable to hear your own cries. Darkness surrounds you.
| BARD begins to sweat profusely. Her knees tremble and buckle beneath her as she struggles to maintain her balance. She reaches toward her face and claws at her eyes in obvious pain. She opens her mouth as if to scream, but nothing comes out.
|-
| As the sting in your eyes dissipates, you open your eyes to see an area - empty, overgrown, and with little sign of life. You struggle to bring yourself back to the present.
Standing before the devastated lands, time once again hastens and your body becomes immobilized. Bandits flood the area, structures rise from the ground, smoke billows into the sky -- signs that life has returned to the once ruined land at the blood ravine. Laying atop a small dirt mound, a tiny chunk of ur-barath lies in wait. You try to reach toward the stone, but are still unable to move. With your last bit of energy, you open your mouth and speak, in the same unfamiliar and gravelly voice, "Bloodriven..."
With a weak gasp for air, you collapse onto the ground, exhausted.
| BARD turns her head from side to side, her eyes darting rapidly back and forth as she watches something unfold. In the unfamiliar gravelly voice, he says, "Bloodriven..." before collapsing onto the floor.

===Bloodrunes===
'''Bloodrunes''' can be used in conjunction with the Moon-filled Pendant in order alter the appearance of the illusion. Creating a bloodrune is done by using a [[Bloodrune#Flat Etched Stone | flat etched stone]], which is found in the [[Bloodriven Sewers | Sewers]], and then carving an ur-barath totem with a chisel. When a bloodrune is in use, it adds an additional line to the pendant's {{boldmono|SHOW}} description.

Bloodrunes, while in stone form, can be {{boldmono|TURN}}ed to prevent them from being sold to the archaeologist NPC. {{boldmono|MARK }}does not work with this item.

<blockquote><big>{{boldmono|LOOK}}</big>
<pre{{log2}}>
Long strands of silver and <metal> have been twisted together in a double rope pattern to create a sturdy, but elegant, neckchain. Four unembellished rings situated side-by-side dangle from the centermost point of the metal strands. All four rings contain a small glowing sphere that appears to spin slowly. ''A bloodrune rests atop the four moons, secured by a luminescent, crimson-hued thread.''
</pre></blockquote>

: <h4>[[Bloodrune#Classic | Classic]]</h4>
: Classic bloodrunes are the most common tier available. When added, the bloodrune adds an additional line to the glamour illusion of the pendant.
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-classic"

|-
| {{#section:Bloodrune|classic}}
|}

: <h4>[[Bloodrune#Divine | Divine]]</h4>
: Divine bloodrunes are the second most common tier able to be found in the sewers. Similar to the classic tier, they add a line to the MoonShard pendant's original glamour effect, and align with specific deities. A [[Blood-infused crystal#Divine | blood-infused crystal]] can be used to slightly alter the rune on divine bloodrunes, changing the moonshard pendant's base glamour from saying '''Champion of <Deity>''' to either '''Betrayer''' or '''Zealot'''.
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-divine"

|-
| {{#section:Bloodrune|divine}}
|}

: <h4>[[Bloodrune#Arcane | Arcane]]</h4>
: Arcane bloodrunes are the third tier available, and were initially introduced during the August 2017 Duskruin run. Unlike the classic or divine, arcane bloodrunes change the entire glamour affect of the MoonShard pendant instead of adding a line at the end of it. [[Blood-infused crystal#Arcane | Blood-infused crystals]] can be used to change the location in the pendant's glamour from '''Bloodriven Village''' to what is the location associated with the rune on the crystal.
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-arcane"
|+ style="white-space:nowrap; padding-left: 2em; text-align: left;" | '''Effect: Varies based on rune. [Expand]'''
|-
| {{#section:Bloodrune|arcane}}
|}

: <h4>[[Bloodrune#Mystic | Mystic]]</h4>
: Mystic bloodrunes are the final tier of more widely available bloodrunes. Similar to arcane bloodrunes, they were released in August 2017 and change the entire glamour effect of the MoonShard pendant. However, mystic bloodrunes have 4-5 versions that shift when worn.
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-mystic"
|+ style="white-space:nowrap; padding-left: 2em; text-align: left;" | '''Effect: Varies based on rune. [Expand]'''
|-
| {{#section:Bloodrune|mystic}}
|}

: <h4>[[Bloodrune#Legendary | Legendary]]</h4>
: Legendary bloodrunes are the final tier of bloodrunes and are limited to a release of 1 per instance. Similar to arcane and mystic tiers, they change the glamour projected by a moonshard pendant. Additionally, they work with corresponding cloaks that are released during the same run but in alternate methods, such as the Treasure Trove.
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-legendary"

===[[Blood-infused crystal | Blood-Infused Crystals]]===
Blood-infused crystals can be used to augment [[bloodrune]]s, which in turn can change how the MoonShard pendant's glamour appears.

: <h4>[[Blood-infused crystal#Divine | Divine]]</h4>
: Divine blood-infused crystals can be used to carve [[Bloodrune#Divine | divine]] bloodrunes only. Once carved and added to a MoonShard pendant, the bloodrune changes the base glamour of the pendant.
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-divinecrystal"
|+ style="white-space:nowrap; padding-left: 2em; text-align: left;" | '''Effect: Slightly alters base glamour. [Expand]'''
|-
| {{#section:Blood-infused crystal|divine}}
|}

: <h4>[[Blood-infused crystal#Arcane | Arcane]]</h4>
: Arcane blood-infused crystals can be used to carve [[Bloodrune#Arcane | arcane]] bloodrunes only. Once carved and added to a MoonShard pendant, the bloodrune changes the location shown in the pendant's glamour from '''Bloodriven Village''' to the location associated with the rune on the crystal.
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-arcanecrystal"
|+ style="white-space:nowrap; padding-left: 2em; text-align: left;" | '''Effect: Changes location in glamour based on crystal rune. [Expand]'''

===[[Legendary Bloodrune Cloak]]===
'''Legendary Bloodrune Cloaks''' were first released back in February 2018 to enhance MoonShard pendants equipped with the corresponding [[Bloodrune#Legendary|legendary bloodrune]] found in [[Duskruin Arena]].
{{top}}

===Policy 7 Warning===
'''Posted by Wyrom 2016 Jul 1:'''
<div {{prettydiv}}>
Seems I have to post about a POLICY 7 issue that has come up.

It seems a few of the pendants that went out may have caused a bug that would leave the moon you tried to place inside it still in your hand. If this happened to you, please place an ASSIST and let us know, as well as turn over any moons that didn't physically go into the pendant. As of right now, we know there is one pendant that could still be completed. It's unclear as of right now if anyone used a buggy Makiri moon to complete a pendant. If you did, please tell us.

This also means people should be very leery of purchasing a Makiri moon from another player, should you be wishing to complete that final pendant that is out there. If you have the final Makiri moon and would like to confirm with me how legitimate it is, please email me (using the link to the left). If the golvern segment hasn't been combined, that would also be helpful to let me know.

Symbol of Turning

2024-01-09T06:28:39Z

BURTNETTJ: /* Wehnimer's Landing Task */

{{Order of Voln navigation}}
'''Step 22'''

The '''Symbol of Turning''', governed by Lord [[Phoen]], is obtained at the twenty second step of the [[Order of Voln]]. This [[symbol]] can be used as either a single target or mass attack against [[undead]] creatures. This symbol uses the [[standard success resolution system]] to determine success or failure. There are several possible outcomes, from benign to instant death, that may occur depending on the level of success. The untargeted version uses the standard AoE Targeting system and will hit a maximum of 10 targets.

==Syntax==

* {{boldmono|SYMBOL OF TURNING}} (by itself for the mass attack version)
* {{boldmono|SYMBOL OF TURNING <target>}} (for the single target version)

==Messaging==

<div {{log}}>>symbol of turning
You draw a glowing pattern in the air before you.

A [[wraith]] backs away from the pattern for a few moments.</div>

;Target flees:

<div {{log}}>>symbol of turning
You draw a glowing pattern in the air before you.

A wraith backs itself south.</div>

;Instant kill:

<div {{log}}>>symbol of turning 
You draw a glowing pattern in the air before you.

A wraith lets out a blood curdling scream!

You hear a sound like a weeping child as a white glow separates itself from the wraith's body as it rises, disappearing into the heavens.</div>

;Living creature:

<div {{log}}>>symbol of turning goblin
You draw a glowing pattern in the air before a goblin.

A goblin does not seem to be affected.</div>

==Favor Cost==
{{Spoiler}}

Symbol of Turning has a base cost which is dependent on the member's level (not member's rank). See [[Favor#Symbol Use Favor Cost|Table]] for specific examples.

The base cost, for either the targeted or untargeted (mass attack) version, applies when there is one undead creature in the room. The mass attack version (untargeted) has an escalating cost that increases when more than one undead are present. There is no favor cost for living creatures. Favor cost for this symbol is capped at 8 undead creatures regardless of the number actually affected.

==[[Favor]] Cost Table==

{|{{prettytable}}
|-style = "background:#DDD; color: blue"
!Undead Creatures

|-
|'''6'''
|Base × 4
|-
|'''7'''

|-
|'''8 or more'''

|}

Cost example for a level 40 member (Base Cost = 219) with 4 creatures present.

*Formula with 4 undead from the above table:
: Base Cost × 3
*81 × 3 = 657 favor

===[[Favor]] Required to Obtain Symbol of Turning ===

'''Formula: <tt>2100 + (( level2 × 35) ÷ 3 )</tt>'''

Ex. level 15 member: <tt>2100 + ((15 × 15 × 35) ÷ 3) = 4725 favor</tt>

Ex. level 20 member: <tt>2100 + ((20 × 20 × 35) ÷ 3) = 6766 favor</tt>

===Monk's Teaching and Instruction Highlights===

*[[Undead]] are vulnerable to all that is holy.
*[[Phoen]] has taught us how to use this holy power to turn the undead, repelling or potential destroying them.

=== [[Wehnimer's Landing]] Task ===

This task is straightforward. Drop a [[blue crystal]], blue crystals contain the spell [[Spirit Strike (117)]], into the lava at the volcano in Danjirland.
*Obtain a blue crystal (the bound blue crystals from BOOST work for this)
*From the North Gate: {{boldmono|SW, S, S, S, S, S, SW, S, SE, S, SE, S, S, S, SW, S, S, SE, SE, SE, SE, SE, E, E, NE, E, E, E, Go Trail, N, NE, E, SE, E, NE, N, NE, N, N, N, Go Trunk, NW, NE, U, N, U, U, W, W, NW, NW, Go Gash, D, D, D, D, N, NE, E}} (Lich ID 4131)
*Drop crystal in lava
*Return to monk to receive symbol (Lich ID 18191)

=== [[Ta'Vaalor]] Task ===

* First, purchase a votive from the cleric shop. (Lich Room: 10372)
* Second, return to monk's location and {{boldmono|LIGHT VOTICE WITH FIRE}}. (Lich Room: 25950)
* Third, go to the Wraithenmist, Fishing Dock in Ta'Illistim (Lich Room: 1830), then {{boldmono|WAVE VOTIVE}}
* Return to the monk to receive your symbol.

==What the UAF==
Most monks are going to make use of Unarmed Combat (UAC). There are two factors that determine success with a UAC attack, Unarmed Factor (UAF) and Multiplier Modifier (MM). A monk's stats, specifically [[Strength]] and [[Agility]], only have an impact on UAF. The UAF formula makes use of truncated STR bonus / 2 and truncated AGI bonus / 2. With that in mind the races provide the following total UAF increase, in descending order:

{|{{prettytable}}
!Race!!STR Mod!!AGI Mod!!UAF Mod
|-
|[[Half-Krolvin]]||+10||+5||+7
|-
|[[Elf]]||0||+15||+7
|-
|[[Giantman]]||+15||-5||+5
|-
|[[Half-Elf]]||0||+10||+5
|-
|[[Dwarf]]||+10||-5||+3
|-
|[[Aelotoi]]||-5||+10||+3
|-
|[[Human]]||+5||0||+2
|-
|[[Dark Elf]]||0||+5||+2
|-
|[[Sylvan]]||0||+5||+2
|-
|[[Forest Gnome]]||-10||+10||0
|-
|[[Erithian]]||-5||0||-2
|-
|[[Halfling]]||-15||+10||-2
|-
|[[Burghal Gnome]]||-15||+10||-2
|-
|}

==AgiDex==
While a majority of monks make use of UAC, others have found a build utilizing Two-Handed Weapons or Polearms quite viable. For those builds one important factor is AgiDex, or the sum of the bonuses of a character's [[Dexterity]] and [[Agility]]. This combined total helps reduce the Roundtime of a physical attack by a specified amount:
{{agidex roundtime reduction}}

Pairing that table with the stat table above we can break it down to see each races theoretical maximum AgiDex, before enhancives:

{|{{prettytable}}
!5 RT Reduction!!4 RT Reduction!!3 RT Reduction
|-
|[[Halfling]]||[[Aelotoi]]||[[Erithian]]
|-
|[[Burghal gnome]]||[[Dark elf]]||[[Human]]
|-
|[[Elf]]||[[Forest gnome]]||[[Dwarf]]
|-
| ||[[Half-elf]]||[[Giantman]]
|-
| ||[[Sylvankind]]||
|-
| ||[[Half-Krolvin]]||
|}

This is important because weapons have a minimum RT, and a base RT. By taking the base RT and subtracting the AgiDex bonus we can find the unencumbered swing RT. 

==Strength==
Strength bonus adds directly to melee AS. Any weapon using monk is going to want a decent Strength stat and will want to pair that with a decent AgiDex possibility. The table below shows the [[Strength]] stats of races compared to their AgiDex capability:

{|{{prettytable}}
!5 RT Reduction!!STR Mod!! !!4 RT Reduction!!STR Mod!! !!3 RT Reduction!!STR Mod
|-
|[[Halfling]]||-15|| ||[[Aelotoi]]||-5|| ||[[Erithian]]||-5
|-
|[[Burghal gnome]]||-15|| ||[[Dark elf]]||0|| ||[[Human]]||5
|-
|[[Elf]]||0|| ||[[Forest gnome]]||-10|| ||[[Dwarf]]||10
|-
| || || ||[[Half-elf]]||0|| ||[[Giantman]]||15
|-
| || || ||[[Sylvankind]]||0
|-
| || || ||[[Half-krolvin]]||10
|}

===Other Racial Factors===
Bear in mind that there are many other mechanical factors to consider when selecting a race. Not to mention all the role playing decisions. The weaker races, such as halflings and gnomes, tend to have much better maneuver defense than bigger, stronger races. As a trade off they also tend to have terrible encumbrance, while bigger races are able to carry quite a bit more. Elven races have bonuses to resisting disease and a small one to poison, but are slightly weaker against warding spells. Dwarves are less resistant to disease but also resistant to poison and have a bonus to warding off elemental magic, a major monk weakness. Halflings are slightly more resistant to poison, disease, and elemental magic than dwarves. Half-krolvin have natural heavy crit padding against cold attacks and suffer less from cold weather effects.

The races of Elanthia all have their pros and cons. They are well balanced and any one could make an excellent monk. Take into account the full picture, including mechanics and their cultural backgrounds, before you decide on a race for yours. Then you can likely pick a Half-Krolvin for that sweet UAF boost!

==General Overview of Minor Mental Spells==
Monks are the most magical square. That means they do not really have their own spell list but are expected to train in spells. Fortunately no one else is really using the Minor Mental list right now.

===Buffing Spells===
*[[Iron Skin (1202)]] Makes the caster's skin like armor. Monks gain a bonus to the AsG provided based on their monk levels.
*[[Foresight (1204)]] Generic DS bonus.
*[[Mindward (1208)]] Mental TD bonus.
*[[Dragonclaw (1209)]] UAF bonus and able to hit magical creatures with UAC.
*[[Brace (1214)]] Ability to PARRY physical attacks with bare hands.
*[[Blink (1215)]] Give a chance for a second opportunity to avoid a physical or bolt attack that would have hit.
*[[Premonition (1220)]] Generic scaling DS bonus.

===Group Focus Spells===
Focus spells provide a bonus with no set duration to the monk's group but each monk many only run one focus spell at a time.
*[[Mind Over Body (1213)]] Reduces stamina costs of abilities.
*[[Focus Barrier (1216)]] Large group DS boost.

===Attack Spells===
The minor mental list has several attack spells but only a few of them apply to a monk.
*[[Powersink (1203)]] Increases the time it takes for a target to prepare a spell.
*[[Force Projection (1207)]] Attempt to knock down a single target and inflict RT.
*[[Thought Lash (1210)]] Warding attack with a high chance of knockdown, causes negative crit padding on the target for 30 seconds.
*[[Confusion (1211)]] Warding attack that gives a target a chance to not attack or attack allies.
*[[Mental Dispel (1218)]] Dispel a single spell from target.
*[[Vertigo (1219)]] Warding spell that causes RT and knockdowns.

===Miscellaneous Spells===
*[[Soothing Word (1201)]] Removes negative emotion effects from a target (i.e. rage, fear, calm)
*[[Provoke (1235)]] Increase the spawn rate of creatures in an area.

==Lores==
Even though monks are a square they do get some benefits from lores. The primary benefits to a monk are found in Mental lores, specifically [[Mental Lore, Transformation]] or [[Mental Lore, Telepathy]]. While other spiritual and mental lores provide some benefit they are not generally worth spending points on. 

Transformation lore provides the following benefits:
*[[Iron Skin (1202)]] Increases the AsG of Iron Skin by 1 every 5 * Seed 1 summation ranks.
*[[Dragonclaw (1209)]] Increases the UAF bonus by a Seed 1 summation.
*[[Brace (1214)]] Increases the chance to disarm an attacker by 2% per Seed 3 summation. 

Telepathy lore provides the following benefits:
*[[Soothing Word (1201)]] 25 ranks grants the ability to remove [[sheer fear]] from a target and provide immunity to it for 30 seconds.
*[[Confusion (1211)]] Improves the chances for the target to perform a more favorable action every 20 skill.
*[[Mind Over Body (1213)]] Increase the stamina cost reduction by 5% per skill/10 on a Seed 3 summation.
*[[Provoke (1235)]] Increases the generation rate for sentient creatures in the area by 1 per 15 ranks.

=Training=

This is broken down into '''Core Training''', and '''Discrete Training'''.
*'''Core training''' includes skills you train in a certain amount each level for that build.
*'''Discrete Training''' includes skills that you want to hit a breakpoint on.

==Common Core Training==
Core training for ANY monk:
*2x [[Dodging]] (3/3)
*2x [[Physical Fitness]] (6/0)
*2x [[Combat Maneuvers]] (15/9)
*1x [[Perception]] (0/2) 
Total: (10/30)

==Common Discrete Training==
*50 Ranks [[Climbing]]
*50 Ranks [[Swimming]]

==Unarmed Monk==
For the most part, when it comes to monks, everybody is kung-fu fighting. All the cool kids are, in fact, as fast as lightning, due to [[Burst of Swiftness]]. In all seriousness the release a monks prompted a whole new combat system to be created and they are designed to take advantage of it. While it could be argued that rogues are the best UAC users, monks make a pretty strong case.

===Spell Training===
Monk spell training is best done in bursts. It can be good to pick up multiple ranks of spells, even at the cost of letting core skills slide a bit, to reach a specific spell.

*Minor Mental to 1220 and Minor Spiritual to 103 - By early 30s
*Minor Spiritual to 120 - By 60s
*Minor Mental to 1235 - By cap

===Combat Maneuvers===

'''With the addition of PSM3 this section is outdated. Perfect Self is now granted through FEATs and does not require and ranks in Surge or Burst.'''

As a square, monks have access to a large variety of combat maneuvers. There are more useful maneuvers than any monk will ever have the points to train in. There is one monk only maneuver that stands above everything else and should typically be the first taken by any monk. That maneuver is [[Perfect Self]], which provides +2 per rank to every single stat, up to +10 total. Unfortunately, this maneuver requires 3 ranks in both [[Surge of Strength]] and [[Burst of Swiftness]] as prerequisites. They are both good maneuvers on their own right and the benefits of Perfect Self would make them worth it even if they were not.

Perfect Self cannot be maximized before level 30, due to the cap on points for a single skill per level. A monk that is 2x in combat maneuvers will find that there are more CM points available than can be spent on Perfect Self and its prerequisites. Those points are best spent in a few key areas, as are the next few after maximizing Perfect Self.

The other "must have" maneuvers for an unarmed monk are:
*[[Punch Mastery]]/[[Grapple Mastery]]/[[Kick Mastery]]: These skills increase the monk's MM with the requisite skill by 5 per rank over 3 ranks. As the unarmed monk's primary attacks one or all of these should be trained.
*[[Combat Mobility]]: This simple, two rank maneuver will provide a 50/100% chance to stand up automatically when attacked while not stunned but knocked over.
*[[Evade Mastery]]: Improves the chance to outright dodge an attack for someone wearing robes by 9% per rank, up to 27% total.
*[[Rolling Krynch Stance]]: Allows the monk to carry over their attack tier from one foe to another if done in quick succession.

From there it is personal preference but other greats include:
*[[Combat Focus]]: A generic +2 TD per rank to help cover a monk's greatest weakness
*[[Ki Focus]]: Gives a 33/66/100% chance to automatically tier up on the next UAC attack used.
*[[Inner Harmony]]: Shake off negative status effects every 30 seconds, rank 3 should be the goal to immediately remove a status upon switching into this stance from Krynch.
*[[Feint]]: Make something flinch to open them up to a bigger attack.

For those that do not want to think about it:
:[[Surge of Strength|Surge of Strength]] - 3 ranks ('''12 points''') 
:[[Burst of Swiftness|Burst of Swiftness]] - 3 ranks ('''12 points''') 
:[[Perfect Self|Perfect Self]] - 5 Ranks ('''30 points''') 
:[[Punch Mastery|Punch Mastery]] - 3 Ranks ('''24 points''') 
:[[Kick Mastery|Kick Mastery]] - 3 Ranks ('''24 points''') 
:[[Grapple Mastery|Grapple Mastery]] - 3 Ranks ('''24 points''')

:[[Combat Mobility|Combat Mobility]] - 2 Ranks ('''15 points''') 
:[[Evade Mastery|Evade Mastery]] - 3 Ranks ('''24 points''') 
:[[Combat Focus|Combat Focus]] - 3 Ranks ('''12 points''') 
 
:Total Points - '''201''' 

===UAC Tips and Tricks===

====Tiering Up====
When first attacking a target, assuming Krynch Stance is not in effect, the attack will start at decent positioning. At decent positioning, UAC attacks are at their weakest in both damage and crit potential. Tiering up simply requires hitting a target and following up appropriately. Masteries will occasionally (up to 15% of the time) cause an automatic tier up with that specific attack form. Jab also has an improved chance to tier up. Most often an opening to a specific attack type will allow for an increase of tier. Specifically "strike leaves foe vulnerable to a followup X attack". After receiving this message, simply perform the specified attack. That will tier the target up to good, and then excellent positioning. Each tier increases the damage and crit potential of UAC attacks against the target.

The first attack at decent positioning: 

:You attempt to punch a krag yeti!
:You have decent positioning against a krag yeti.
: UAF: 434 vs UDF: 348 = 1.247 * MM: 122 + d100: 26 = 178
: ... and hit for 28 points of damage!
: Low punch bruises the inside of the krag yeti's right knee, but barely causes a limp.
: The krag yeti starts to favor its wounded leg!
: ''' Strike leaves foe vulnerable to a followup punch attack!'''
:Roundtime: 3 sec.
 

Then at good positioning, note the lower UDF, Higher MM and much better overall damage and crit: 

:You attempt to punch a krag yeti!
:'''You have good positioning against a krag yeti.'''
: UAF: 434 vs UDF: 323 = 1.343 * MM: 122 + d100: 60 = 223
: ... and hit for 57 points of damage!
: Rotating backhand cleanly snaps tibia!
: A krag yeti collapses to the ground and grasps its mangled right leg!
: 
: The krag yeti is stunned!
: 

====[[Spirit Barrier (102)]]====

As a Monk, it is typically not hard to hit things, even if they are in stance defensive. [[Spirit Barrier (102)]] lowers UAF and increases DS. Often this trade off is worth it for a monk. In the first example below the monk has Spirit Barrier on. For the second it is turned off. Despite the difference in UAF, neither have any trouble hitting a like-level creature. As such it is often appropriate to take advantage of the increase DS.

:>jab
:You attempt to jab a krag yeti!
:You have decent positioning against a krag yeti.
: UAF: 439 vs UDF: 410 = 1.070 * MM: 99 + d100: 84 = 190
: ... and hit for 5 points of damage!
: Low jab glances off the right thigh.
:Roundtime: 2 sec.
 
 
:A krag yeti tries to ensnare you!
: AS: +373 vs DS: +439 with AvD: +38 + d100 roll: +41 = +13
: A clean miss.
 
:>stop 102
:With a moment's concentration, you terminate the Spirit Barrier spell.
:The air calms down around you.
 
:>jab
:You attempt to jab a krag yeti!
:You have decent positioning against a krag yeti.
: UAF: 468 vs UDF: 410 = 1.141 * MM: 107 + d100: 94 = 216
: ... and hit for 9 points of damage!
: Solid blow to upper left arm.
:Roundtime: 2 sec.
 
 
:A krag yeti tries to ensnare you!
: AS: +373 vs DS: +410 with AvD: +38 + d100 roll: +1 = +2
: A clean miss.

==== Rolling Krynch Stance In Action ====

When [[Rolling Krynch Stance]] is active the monk will position themselves in order to apply momentum from a previous unarmed strike against one foe to their next unarmed strike against a different foe. Thus providing a chance to immediately raise their attack tier against the second foe. Essentially it is a chance for a free tier up to good or excellent on subsequent creatures after killing one. There is a message to show that the bonus was received, highlighted in the example below. Note that this attack was made just after killing another creature at an excellent positioning.

 
:You attempt to punch a krag dweller!
:'''You exploit the momentum of your previous strike to make a stronger attack against a krag dweller!'''
:You have excellent positioning against a krag dweller. < ---- Start at excellent positioning 
: UAF: 439 vs UDF: 368 = 1.192 * MM: 91 + d100: 36 = 144
: ... and hit for 34 points of damage!
: Well executed strike to the krag dweller's left leg fractures the fibula.
: The krag dweller is knocked to the ground!
:Roundtime: 3 sec.
 

==Two-Handed Weapon Monk==
Monks are built from the ground up to use Unarmed Combat, just like Wizards were built from the ground up to use bolts. Obviously some wizards buck the trend and swing around a big weapon instead and some monks do as well. While many minor mental spells will provide no real benefit to a Two-Handed monk, the excellent combat maneuver selection and cheap Dodge training make it a surprisingly effective build. Not to mention the one-two strike of Force Wave followed by a katana to the face. Note that Polearms are a possibility but they will cost an additional 3/0 TPs per level to train in, making points even tighter.

*[[Slippery Mind]]: This is evade mastery but for warding spells, and a martial stance, granting a robe wearer 27% chance at rank 3 of outright avoiding a warding spell. Since THW Monks are not using Krynch, they get to use this.

From there it is personal preference but other greats include:

*[[Disarm Weapon]]: As a THW monk actually uses a weapon this can be beneficial both offensively and defensively.
*[[Internal Power]]: Recover health points and heal minor wounds at higher ranks.

:Total Points - '''202''' 

=Societies=
Elanthia currently has 3 Societies to choose from; The Council of Light (CoL), Voln, and Guardians of Sunfist (GoS). Each offers unique bonuses and role play opportunities.

==CoL==
COL is the society for people who love big numbers. The society offers very little outside of the core AS/DS benefits, but those additional benefits are pretty nice mechanically. 
Sign of Staunching stops all bleeding for 1 mana. 
Sign of Healing is full Health for 2 spirit. 
Sign of Wracking is full mana for 5 spirit. 
Sign of Darkness is a teleport back to town for 6 spirit. 
The other signs offer an overall gain of 35 AS, 35 DS, 20 Ranged/Spell DS, and 15 TD. 

Keeping some of these signs up costs spirit. Fortunately, CoL sign duration is 10 seconds per level. At cap that is a duration of 16 minutes, 40 seconds. Even a dark elf could stagger signs enough to regen the 3 spirit required for the AS/DS/TD signs, and still remain barely static. Although, a dark elf cannot reasonably do that before level 90, they could always just leave off one of the 3 spirit using signs. Of course, a Dark Elf could not make the same use out of Sign of Wracking, due to the slow spirit regen.

Overall CoL offers decent abilities and low upkeep costs, but spirit can be burdensome for some races.

==GoS==
Sunfist is an attractive option, depending on your playstyle. It provies less overall AS/DS than CoL, at only +30 max but more TD at +20. The Sigil of Major Bane also offers heavy crit weighting to all AS/DS attacks against [[List_of_Guardians_of_Sunfist_hated_enemies|Hated Enemites]]. On the defensive side, they receive -5 DS relative to CoL, but they also get Heavy Crit padding with Sigil of Major Protection.

Sigil of Power converts 50 stamina to 25 mana, which can be great for Archer rangers who have little use for stamina, leaving stamina free 
Sigil of Escape provides protection against Stun/web/binds/etc, once per day. This is definitely going to save your life at times and is a nice alternative to 1040. 
Sigil of Mending provides a +10 boost to health recovery and allows you to eat any herb in 3 seconds.<br.
Sigil of Concentration provides a +10 boost to mana recovery per pulse. 
The other major attraction of GoS is the ability to Warcamp. These self contained hunting grounds generate Grimswarm creatures of a specific race; Troll, Orc, or Giant. They can be one of many professions and have the abilities to match. Camps can be more dangerous than regular hunting grounds but they are also a place you can fry very quickly.

The downside to Sunfist is that the duration and costs of their sigils are static. You are going to be spending a large amount of mana/stamina to keep sigils up throughout a hunt and it takes some effort to keep them running. For the base AS/DS boosts, you are only looking at 10 mana/10 Stamina every 5 minutes. If you want the Sigil of Major Bane and Sigil of Major Protection for the additional +10 AS/DS and heavy weighting/padding it will cost an additional 20 mana and 25 stamina per minute. Compare that to the 6 mana and 3 spirit CoL members pay for 15 minutes of all of their AS/DS/TD signs. The sigils are a much higher mana cost but at the same time, they do not cost spirit.

==Voln==
Voln was recently redone. It now offers +26 AS to all critters, +39 against undead, +26 DS, and +13 TD.

Symbol of blessing allows for easy hunting of undead. The ability to UAC without needing a bless can be helpful but gloves and boots will not add their bonuses unless they are blessed.
The Symbol of mana is attractive at 50 mana every 5 minutes. It is not as powerful at the top end as others but there is no downside to usage.

Symbol of dreams is nice, health/mana/spirit/stats recovery. Good to use post-death along with Symbol of Recall, which restores your spells after you die.

Additionally, Voln has a societal teleportation system where the back of their society has pocket portals to everywhere. One of which is the Rift. It is a godsend for Rift hunters.

Voln's symbols work off favor, which you accumulate through hunting undead. This is a non-issue if you are hunting undead regularly. With the ability to strike undead without needing a bless, UAC monks have a very easy time. Two-Handed Monks will need to have a blessable weapon. Undead are typically pretty easy targets to hunt relative to other critters at like levels, so a lot of time is typically spent hunting them.

Player run shop

2023-10-09T13:48:44Z

BURTNETTJ: /* How to Buy a Shop */

[[File:Playershop.jpg|right]]
Originally titled as "Trade Shops," player run shops were introduced during HSN 2004. The [[Wehnimer's Landing]] shopping districts opened on 7/25/2004, and additional towns were quickly added thereafter.

==Searching the Shops==
This site can be searched for wares:
* [https://ps.lichproject.org Lich playershops]

This website is updated by players using a [[The Lich|lich]] script called ''update-playershops''.

''Note: Citizendata was the previous data collection script used for many years. As of 7/16/14 it has been replaced with update-playershops. As of January 2015, please update your update-playershops script to make sure it is uploaded to the correct place (Tillmen changed providers).''

In the game, a character may also search shops now, and even make purchases from afar:

If the in-game shop number is known, it can be easily used to browse the shop's merchandise.

For example, to browse the merchandise in shop number 1 in Icemule:
<pre{{log-inline}}> SHOP BROWSE ICEMULE 1</pre>

Shop numbers sometimes change, but are easy to discover by reviewing a town's shop directory.

For example, to browse a listing of shops in Icemule Trace:
<pre{{log-inline}}> SHOP DIRECTORY ICEMULE</pre>

After finding the shop you wish to browse, then the shop merchandise can be viewed:
<pre{{log-inline}}> SHOP BROWSE ICEMULE {shop#}</pre>

Next, you may inspect any item in the shop by its item number:
<pre{{log-inline}}> SHOP INSPECT {item#}</pre>

And lastly, make your purchase, using the item number:
<pre{{log-inline}}> SHOP PURCHASE {item#}</pre>

To make your purchase from a distance, without actually traveling to the shop:
# get inside of a town (most towns work, it doesn't have to be the town where a shop is located)
# empty your left hand
# get a note in your right hand for "5000 extra plus the purchase price"
# {{boldmono|[[BOOST]] RUNNER}} (alternately, at the [[SimuCoin]] Store, purchase a Locker Runner Contract ([https://store.play.net/store/purchaseitem/143?gameCode=GS 30 days] or [https://store.play.net/store/purchaseitem/144?gameCode=GS 60 items]), which gives you a fixed amount of Urchin Runner Access)
# {{boldmono|SHOP PURCHASE}} {item#}
# you should receive your item instantly

==How to Buy a Shop==
'''This is currently in flux
*Full or partial [[citizenship]] in the town is required.
*A [[Premium subscription]] is required to maintain a three room shop, a [[basic subscription|basic subscriber]] may have a one room shop.
*A subscribed account may only own one shop. Accounts owning multiple shops before this change have been grandfathered in.
*The shop permit release system is under discussion, TBD by the end of June, shops can still be dealt through the player market.
*To transfer a shop, the buyer and seller need to visit the shop together and the seller should offer partnership in the shop. Once the partnership is established, the shop ownership can be transferred to the new owner.
*Any customized room name (e.g. [Dan's Den of Deed Fodder]) will be lost upon transfer, but other customizations, such as furniture and exterior look, will be maintained.
*Once a shop is transferred, the owner can go to the local [[Player Shop Furniture]] merchant to choose furniture and decor, including a sign, door, roof and interior items. Interior items consist of display cases, tables, and other furniture decor for each room of the shop. When purchasing furniture, indicate which room of your shop it should go. The Shop Furniture merchant will indicate what piece it replaces. While inventory containers, signs, and decorative items can be purchased anywhere, large building materials such as facades, roofs, walls, floors, and ceilings can only be bought locally, due to the difficulty of transport.

;The following information applies to the original system. Since shops are not currently repossessed, no deeds come up for sale. Shops are only available on the secondary market.
* SHOP DEED is currently disabled. Use SHOP TRANSFER to move a shop to a partner who's a citizen in the same town.
* A shop deed (one room for standard, up to three rooms for premium) must be purchased from the NPC at the local permit office, found in the permanent structure that sells shop decor within the player shop area of each town. A one-room deed costs 100k, a two-room deed costs 150k, and a three-room deed costs 200k. Deeds can only be purchased when there is an available space in the shop area, but the shopkeeper does not limit his selling of deeds to the number of open spaces. Someone else may use their deed to claim that slot before you use your new deed, leaving you without a shop.
* An available slot must be claimed by standing in the room you want your shop in, holding your shop deed or shop permit in your right hand, and using {{boldmono|SHOP CLAIM}}.
:'''River's Rest claiming messaging
<pre{{log2}}>
>shop claim
As you hold up your permit, a shifty-looking human notices. He gives a shrill whistle, alerting several of his seedier-looking friends to come help him erect your new shop. Two of the group are wearing eyepatches, one wears a brass dancing turtle medallion, and one almost looks to have some krolvin in her heritage, judging by the cast of her features, but they do work swiftly and, in a surprisingly short amount of time, the shop is up and the group has vanished toward the bank with your permit to claim the construction fee.</pre>

==How Shops Work==
===Tax===
A 3% sales tax is automatically deducted from your sale price on each purchase. No more than 1,000,000 silvers in tax will be deducted from any one item.

===Inventory===
Shop inventories are limited by two factors: counter space and room size. Each room is able to hold up to 25 different items (each item can be a stack of identical items up to 50, loresinging to an item before posting will negate this, however, Elemental Detection (405) can be cast on an item without affecting its stackability). Each container is unique and holds a different amount. The Shop furniture merchant will provide information on the containers. A shop owner can set up multiple containers such that the total meets or exceeds the 25 item per room limit. A shop may have up to three rooms, though this is limited to one on a non-premium account. A three-room shop can have a maximum of 75 items for sale at a time.

Inventory in shops is available while in the shop via the {{boldmono|SHOP INVENTORY}} command, while outside of a shop via a shop manifest (available from the shopping district warehouse for 50,000 silvers), or via [https://ps.lichproject.org Lich Playershops] (though not in real-time).

===Partnership===
Only the shop owner can manage partnerships. A shop can have up to 4 partners. Each partner can sell items in the shop and access their own profits. The shop owner does not have any access to the partners' profits, nor does the partners' balance count toward rent. The shop owner has the ability to disband the partnership at any time. If this happens, the partners' items will be available in closed boxes at the Shop Permit Authority for pick-up, including any profits due.

As of November 2017, a shop partner can use {{boldmono|SHOP DEPOSIT}} to deposit silvers into the main (owner's) shop account to help pay for rent. This is a one way transaction and, thus, partners cannot withdraw from the main shop account.

If an owner fails to check in personally for 90 days, the shop may be taken over irretrievably by the shop partner/s, as follows, from {{boldmono|SHOP POLICY}}:

If a shop owner fails to check into their shop for 90 days the partner can take over the shop by means of an {{boldmono|[[ASSIST]]}}. If more than one partner is on the shop, all partners will need to give consent to a single partner. If an agreement cannot be made, the shop will be evicted. If the original owner returns, they cannot reclaim the shop from the new owner without their consent. This will be handled in a case by case situation and is not a guarantee.

A shop partner is not subject to the same citizenship requirements as a shop owner. Shop partners do not have to be citizens of the town where the shop is located.

====Adding a Partner====
To offer partnership to someone, the candidate must be in the same room with the owner. The owner uses {{boldmono|SHOP PARTNER <NAME>}} to initiate the partnership. The candidate must AGREE within about 1 minute or else the offer will pass.

<pre{{log2}}>
>SHOP PARTNER JOHN
Shop owner (Jane) sees: You offer John partnership in your shop.
Shop partner candidate (John) sees: Jane offers you partnership in her shop. You have one minute to AGREE to the partnership. If you don't agree, simply do nothing and the offer will pass.

>AGREE
Shop owner (Jane) sees: John has agreed to become a partner!
Shop partner candidate (John) sees: You are now a partner in Jane's shop.

If partner candidate fails to AGREE within one minute:
Shop owner (Jane) sees: Your offer of a partnership with John has expired.
SHop partner candidate (John) sees: Jane's offer of a partnership has expired.
</pre>

After the partner is added, SHOP INFO will show a list of partners:

<pre{{log2}}>
>SHOP INFO
Shop Owner: Jane
Shop partners:
John
</pre>

====Removing a Partner====
To remove a partner, the owner uses {{boldmono|SHOP PARTNER <NAME> CLEAR}}. The partner does not have to be logged in to the game.

The shop partner can PULL all their items from the shop inventory before the partnership is removed. However, if there were any of the partner's items in the shop inventory at the time the partnership dissolves, then the partner's items will be available in closed boxes at the Shop Permit Authority for pick-up, including any profits due.

<pre{{log2}}>
>SHOP PARTNER JOHN CLEAR
The shop owner (Jane) sees: John is no longer a shop partner.
The shop partner (John) sees: Jane has removed you as a partner in her shop.
</pre>

===Ban===
Up to 15 people can be banned from a shop.

===Haggle===
Shops can offer a discount towards particular races or professions. Race always takes precedence if its value is not 100%. To see current bias, issue the {{boldmono|SHOP HAGGLE ALL}} command.

===Rent===
Shops maintain their own bank accounts, from which rent is collected monthly. Rent must come from the shop owner's balance at the cost of 10,000 silvers per room, and must be available on the 1st of every month. Each partner in a shop maintains separate books, and rent is only drawn from the primary shop owner's account. Failure to pay the shop maintenance for 90 days will result in repossession of the shop.

===Visitation===
Each shop must be visited regularly by its owner or partner(s). Failure to visit for 90 days will result in the loss of the shop. Note: A "visit" requires passing through the portal (either alone or as the leader of a group) into the shop and then using one of the {{boldmono|SHOP}} verb options (such as {{boldmono|SHOP INFO}}) while inside the shop to check on its status.

However, although a partner's visit counts as much toward keeping a shop open as a visit from the shop's owner, if an owner fails to check in personally for 90 days, the shop may be taken over irretrievably by the shop partner/s, as follows, from {{boldmono|SHOP POLICY}}:

<pre{{log2}}>
If a shop owner fails to check into their shop for 90 days the partner can take over the shop by means of an {{boldmono|ASSIST}}. If more than one partner is on the shop, all partners will need to give consent to a single partner. If an agreement cannot be made, the shop will be evicted. If the original owner returns, they cannot reclaim the shop from the new owner without their consent. This will be handled in a case by case situation and is not a guarantee.
</pre>

===Repossession===
In the event that a shop is reclaimed by the Shop Permit Authority, the inventory will be held by the permit clerk (in a box identified by name on the floor of the Shop Permit Authority office) for a maximum of 90 days, after which it will be permanently lost. A note for the shop balance will also be in the box.

===Room Extension===
You can buy a one room or two room extension from the local permit authority.
<pre{{log2}}>
>ask authority for two room extension
The authority says, "The current price for a 2 room extension is 150000 silvers. We accept coins and bank notes. Just ask me about it again within the next minute if you're still interested."

The authority accepts your silvers, jingling them together once before tucking them safely away.

The authority says, "If you lose that permit before you make use of it, you're out of luck. Just read the permit for more instructions."

>read permit
Shop Permit Issued to XXXXX

Authority Valued At 150000 silvers

Valid only for a 2 room extension to an existing shop in Wehnimer's Landing.
This permit can be transferred to another party.

Stand in your shop you wish to improve and and use {{boldmono|SHOP EXTEND PERMIT}} <direction>.

>shop extend permit east
Your shop permit allows you to extend your shop. You now have a new room.

>shop extend permit north
Your shop permit allows you to extend your shop. You now have a new room.
With no further need for your shop permit, you throw it away.</pre>

==Shop Decorations==

===How to Buy Shop Furniture===
You can specify which room you want your furniture to go in with MAIN or the direction of the room from your main room.
:Example: ORDER 1 FOR NORTH would order the 1st item for your northern room.
<pre{{log2}}>
The merchant nods and says, "So you wish to purchase a dark green rubber tree plant for 5000 silver? This will replace an iron candelabra in XXXXX's General Store (north of your main room)."
The merchant continues, "If this is correct, just BUY in the next 60 seconds."</pre>

To add or replace a second container in the same room, append SWAP to your order command.
:Example: ORDER 1 FOR MAIN SWAP
<pre{{log2}}>
The merchant nods and says, "So you wish to purchase a glaes-covered wicker display case for 20000 silver? This will replace a narrow glass-topped table in XXXXX's Outfitting."
The merchant continues, "If this is correct, just BUY in the next 60 seconds."</pre>

===Tips===

*Make sure to double check which item is being replaced BEFORE you buy!
*Each shop room can only hold a maximum of 25 items, regardless of the individual container sizes. This does not apply to items that BUNDLE e.g., skins, deepening and lightening notes.
*A purchased sign will apply to all signs in your shop.
*Large items such as '''shop facade, ceiling, floors, roof and walls''' cannot be delivered to another town.
*If newly purchased furniture does not appear immediately in your shop, use the SHOP ARRANGE NEXT command. For shop signs use SHOP SIGN CLEAR then re-add your sign info using SHOP SIGN <message>

===Off-the-Shelf Upgrades===

* If you would like to personalize your shop and the way it looks, you can find a list of [[Player_run_shop/decorations|decorations]] here.

==Shop Alterations==

===Disclaimer===

The information shared below is intended to help facilitate player shop alteration planning.

Shop alterations are a special merchant service. They are sometimes provided at festivals or calendared events to alter one facet of a shop. They can also be redeemed as a prize for winning the monthly Premium Contest. Rarely, full shop alterations are provided via raffle.

===Shop Name===

The [Room Name] of your shop can be altered. If your shop has more than one room, each room can have a different room name. The main room name is referenced in the outside description of your shop when you look at it.

While shop names are flexible and can be creative, they cannot imply that the shop is anything other than what it is. For example, its name cannot state that the shop is an inn, a museum, a tavern, or anything else other than a shop.

The maximum character limit for a shop name or a room name is 31.

Altering a shop's room name typically includes altering all room names of the shop as a single service.

===Shop Facade===

:'''Facade:''' Capable of having a long within a specific framework.

The shop exterior can be altered but must fit within a very specific framework. The exterior is comprised of two parts, the facade itself and the decoration (which is often a roof), each of which may only be a 15/15/15. The facade half is required; the decoration half is optional. This appears in the format of:
:[a/an article] [adjective] [noun] with [article] [adjective] [noun]
Examples of how this can be phrased include:
*[a bright,green brick,shop] with [rose bushes,framing the,door]
*[an expansive,vermilion silk,tent] with [flanking carved,limestone,wyverns]
*[a broad roughly,hewn haorbeam,doorway] with [silvery,mithril rune,inlay]

The shop exterior must fit into the local surroundings. For example, a grass hut is perfect for Mist Harbor but not in Icemule Trace. There are building codes for each town, so make sure to tour the local shops and what exteriors are available in your town first to have a better idea of what those building codes are. Zul Logoth shop exteriors can only be doors or similar types of entryways. Ta'Vaalor shops have to be some sort of tent or pavilion.

Shop exterior facades and their nouns must be appropriate for a shop and cannot suggest that the shop is something that it is not. Mansions, towers, castles, and other buildings that are not clearly identified as shops are not allowed. Inns, restaurants, tea houses, and pubs are also not allowed, since the player shop system does not support bedrooms or full service for food or drink. Wagons and other forms of transportation are not allowed because the player shop system cannot support the shop being moved.

Shop exterior decorations do not have to be an actual roof, even though this is the most common decoration available off the shelf. They can also be any sort of additional decorative feature that sets the shop apart from others.

Altering a shop's exterior typically includes altering both the facade and the decoration as a single service.

===Shop Interior Objects===

:'''Ceiling:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Wall:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Floor:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Wall Hanging:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Rug:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Container #1:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Container #2:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Sign:''' Capable of having a 15/15/15 only.

The essence of each item must remain the same. A wall hanging must be something appropriate for the wall; it cannot be turned into a bathtub.

Some room arrangements look weird depending on how the object is altered. It is recommended to look at the various room arrangement options and how they display for a better idea of what to expect when planning interior alterations. For some room arrangement configurations, the long description is not visible in the room itself even though it is present on the object.

Containers will need to be located inside the shop prior to the alteration work being done. They should be the type of container you want. Some containers allow for storage ON them, such as a table, while others allow for storage IN them, such as chests. The altered container must make sense for how items are stored on or inside. Container alterations change the description only. They do not change how items are displayed (ON vs IN), and they do not change the total capacity of each individual container.

When altering a sign, the same alteration will be applied to the sign in ALL shop rooms. All other shop interior objects are altered separately for each room and do not have to be the same from one room to the next.

Altering one item in one room is typically one service. Altering one sign, impacting all shop signs, is typically one service.

===Custom Shop Interior Description===

Very rarely, full shop remodels are made available which include alterations of the shop name, the shop exterior, all objects inside the shop, plus the option for custom written room descriptions for the interior. This new description is saved as a special custom template when cycling through options via {{boldmono|SHOP ARRANGE}}, allowing it to be turned off or back on again at will.

Custom room descriptions are entirely custom written and do not have to follow the standard template format.

They must reference all objects present in the room: ceiling, wall, floor, wall hanging, rug, and both containers. When identifying those objects, you can identify if you want only the object noun (the last 15 of a 15/15/15), the object adjective + noun (the second and last 15/15 of a 15/15/15), or the full object description (the full 15/15/15). For room descriptions, this full object description will also include the object's long if it has one.

Custom room descriptions must be no longer than 511 characters, although there is some slight wiggle room due to how imbedded links work when referencing the various objects in the room.

For the purpose of a custom room description, if your shop has "some,fancy,walls" as the base object with "some super duper incredibly fancy walls covered with ridiculously decorated murals" as the object's long, the custom room description actually uses the same minimal character count on the back end. It doesn't matter if they are displayed in the room as just "walls", "fancy walls", or as the entire "some super duper incredibly fancy walls covered with ridiculously decorated murals".

Custom shop interior descriptions are very rare. They are not typically offered as a standalone single item shop service.

===Additional Notes===

All alterations must follow all {{boldmono|ALTER}} rules. This is especially true with regard to rarer materials. Rare materials can sometimes be used as trim and must be supplied. For example, if eahnor is provided, it can be used to trim a mirror but not to make an entire wall out of eahnor.

==Additional Information==

In the late 2000s, the shop system broke. Despite the efforts of several GMs, no one was able to fix it to its intended level of functionality or expand upon the mechanics. In [[Prime]], shops did not get repossessed, rent was not collected, and character owners were not required to visit their shops on a regular basis. Thus, shops were only available by purchasing one from another player.

In May 2017, GM Retser completed work on the system, and [[/saved posts#The Fixing (2017)|some shops were released via the {{boldmono|SHOP LOTTERY}} system]]. As of July 2023, more shops are being made available again via the SHOP LOTTERY system.

(Sidenote: Shops won via the 2023 SHOP LOTTERY system are having rent collected. Premium members who win shops automatically have three room shops, so that's 30k per month in rent.)

Player run shop

2023-09-18T11:34:06Z

BURTNETTJ: /* Additional Information */

[[File:Playershop.jpg|right]]
Originally titled as "Trade Shops," player run shops were introduced during HSN 2004. The [[Wehnimer's Landing]] shopping districts opened on 7/25/2004, and additional towns were quickly added thereafter.

==Searching the Shops==
The following two sites can be searched for wares:
* [https://ps.lichproject.org Lich playershops]
* [http://www.virilneus.com/shops/ Virilneus' playershops]
Both of these websites are updated by players using a [[The Lich|lich]] script called ''update-playershops''. While they are not necessarily updated frequently, they provide good search options with details about the wares.

''Note: Citizendata was the previous data collection script used for many years. As of 7/16/14 it has been replaced with update-playershops. As of January 2015, please update your update-playershops script to make sure it is uploaded to the correct place (Tillmen changed providers).''

In the game, a character may also search shops now, and even make purchases from afar:

If the in-game shop number is known, it can be easily used to browse the shop's merchandise.

For example, to browse the merchandise in shop number 1 in Icemule:
<pre{{log-inline}}> SHOP BROWSE ICEMULE 1</pre>

Shop numbers sometimes change, but are easy to discover by reviewing a town's shop directory.

For example, to browse a listing of shops in Icemule Trace:
<pre{{log-inline}}> SHOP DIRECTORY ICEMULE</pre>

After finding the shop you wish to browse, then the shop merchandise can be viewed:
<pre{{log-inline}}> SHOP BROWSE ICEMULE {shop#}</pre>

Next, you may inspect any item in the shop by its item number:
<pre{{log-inline}}> SHOP INSPECT {item#}</pre>

And lastly, make your purchase, using the item number:
<pre{{log-inline}}> SHOP PURCHASE {item#}</pre>

To make your purchase from a distance, without actually traveling to the shop:
# get inside of a town (most towns work, it doesn't have to be the town where a shop is located)
# empty your left hand
# get a note in your right hand for "5000 extra plus the purchase price"
# {{boldmono|[[BOOST]] RUNNER}} (alternately, at the [[SimuCoin]] Store, purchase a Locker Runner Contract ([https://store.play.net/store/purchaseitem/143?gameCode=GS 30 days] or [https://store.play.net/store/purchaseitem/144?gameCode=GS 60 items]), which gives you a fixed amount of Urchin Runner Access)
# {{boldmono|SHOP PURCHASE}} {item#}
# you should receive your item instantly

==How to Buy a Shop==
'''This is currently in flux
*Full or partial [[citizenship]] in the town is required.
*A [[Premium subscription]] is required to maintain a three room shop, a [[basic subscription|basic subscriber]] may have a one room shop.
*A subscribed account may only own one shop. Accounts owning multiple shops before this change have been grandfathered in.
*The shop permit release system is under discussion, TBD by the end of June, shops can still be dealt through the player market.
*To transfer a shop, the buyer and seller need to visit the shop together and the seller should offer partnership in the shop. Once the partnership is established, the shop ownership can be transferred to the new owner.
*Any customized room name (e.g. [Dan's Den of Deed Fodder]) will be lost upon transfer, but other customizations, such as furniture and exterior look, will be maintained.
*Once a shop is transferred, the owner can go to the local [[Player Shop Furniture]] merchant to choose furniture and decor, including a sign, door, roof and interior items. Interior items consist of display cases, tables, and other furniture decor for each room of the shop. When purchasing furniture, indicate which room of your shop it should go. The Shop Furniture merchant will indicate what piece it replaces. While inventory containers, signs, and decorative items can be purchased anywhere, large building materials such as facades, roofs, walls, floors, and ceilings can only be bought locally, due to the difficulty of transport.

;The following information applies to the original system. Since shops are not currently repossessed, no deeds come up for sale. Shops are only available on the secondary market.
* A shop deed (one room for standard, up to three rooms for premium) must be purchased from the NPC at the local permit office, found in the permanent structure that sells shop decor within the player shop area of each town. A one-room deed costs 100k, a two-room deed costs 150k, and a three-room deed costs 200k. Deeds can only be purchased when there is an available space in the shop area, but the shopkeeper does not limit his selling of deeds to the number of open spaces. Someone else may use their deed to claim that slot before you use your new deed, leaving you without a shop.
* An available slot must be claimed by standing in the room you want your shop in, holding your shop deed or shop permit in your right hand, and using {{boldmono|SHOP CLAIM}}.
:'''River's Rest claiming messaging
<pre{{log2}}>
>shop claim
As you hold up your permit, a shifty-looking human notices. He gives a shrill whistle, alerting several of his seedier-looking friends to come help him erect your new shop. Two of the group are wearing eyepatches, one wears a brass dancing turtle medallion, and one almost looks to have some krolvin in her heritage, judging by the cast of her features, but they do work swiftly and, in a surprisingly short amount of time, the shop is up and the group has vanished toward the bank with your permit to claim the construction fee.</pre>

==How Shops Work==
===Tax===
A 3% sales tax is automatically deducted from your sale price on each purchase. No more than 1,000,000 silvers in tax will be deducted from any one item.

===Inventory===
Shop inventories are limited by two factors: counter space and room size. Each room is able to hold up to 25 different items (each item can be a stack of identical items up to 50, loresinging to an item before posting will negate this, however, Elemental Detection (405) can be cast on an item without affecting its stackability). Each container is unique and holds a different amount. The Shop furniture merchant will provide information on the containers. A shop owner can set up multiple containers such that the total meets or exceeds the 25 item per room limit. A shop may have up to three rooms, though this is limited to one on a non-premium account. A three-room shop can have a maximum of 75 items for sale at a time.

Inventory in shops is available while in the shop via the {{boldmono|SHOP INVENTORY}} command, while outside of a shop via a shop manifest (available from the shopping district warehouse for 50,000 silvers), or via [https://ps.lichproject.org Lich Playershops] (though not in real-time).

===Partnership===
Only the shop owner can manage partnerships. A shop can have up to 4 partners. Each partner can sell items in the shop and access their own profits. The shop owner does not have any access to the partners' profits, nor does the partners' balance count toward rent. The shop owner has the ability to disband the partnership at any time. If this happens, the partners' items will be available in closed boxes at the Shop Permit Authority for pick-up, including any profits due.

As of November 2017, a shop partner can use {{boldmono|SHOP DEPOSIT}} to deposit silvers into the main (owner's) shop account to help pay for rent. This is a one way transaction and, thus, partners cannot withdraw from the main shop account.

If an owner fails to check in personally for 90 days, the shop may be taken over irretrievably by the shop partner/s, as follows, from {{boldmono|SHOP POLICY}}:

If a shop owner fails to check into their shop for 90 days the partner can take over the shop by means of an {{boldmono|[[ASSIST]]}}. If more than one partner is on the shop, all partners will need to give consent to a single partner. If an agreement cannot be made, the shop will be evicted. If the original owner returns, they cannot reclaim the shop from the new owner without their consent. This will be handled in a case by case situation and is not a guarantee.

A shop partner is not subject to the same citizenship requirements as a shop owner. Shop partners do not have to be citizens of the town where the shop is located.

====Adding a Partner====
To offer partnership to someone, the candidate must be in the same room with the owner. The owner uses {{boldmono|SHOP PARTNER <NAME>}} to initiate the partnership. The candidate must AGREE within about 1 minute or else the offer will pass.

<pre{{log2}}>
>SHOP PARTNER JOHN
Shop owner (Jane) sees: You offer John partnership in your shop.
Shop partner candidate (John) sees: Jane offers you partnership in her shop. You have one minute to AGREE to the partnership. If you don't agree, simply do nothing and the offer will pass.

>AGREE
Shop owner (Jane) sees: John has agreed to become a partner!
Shop partner candidate (John) sees: You are now a partner in Jane's shop.

If partner candidate fails to AGREE within one minute:
Shop owner (Jane) sees: Your offer of a partnership with John has expired.
SHop partner candidate (John) sees: Jane's offer of a partnership has expired.
</pre>

After the partner is added, SHOP INFO will show a list of partners:

<pre{{log2}}>
>SHOP INFO
Shop Owner: Jane
Shop partners:
John
</pre>

====Removing a Partner====
To remove a partner, the owner uses {{boldmono|SHOP PARTNER <NAME> CLEAR}}. The partner does not have to be logged in to the game.

The shop partner can PULL all their items from the shop inventory before the partnership is removed. However, if there were any of the partner's items in the shop inventory at the time the partnership dissolves, then the partner's items will be available in closed boxes at the Shop Permit Authority for pick-up, including any profits due.

<pre{{log2}}>
>SHOP PARTNER JOHN CLEAR
The shop owner (Jane) sees: John is no longer a shop partner.
The shop partner (John) sees: Jane has removed you as a partner in her shop.
</pre>

===Ban===
Up to 15 people can be banned from a shop.

===Haggle===
Shops can offer a discount towards particular races or professions. Race always takes precedence if its value is not 100%. To see current bias, issue the {{boldmono|SHOP HAGGLE ALL}} command.

===Rent===
Shops maintain their own bank accounts, from which rent is collected monthly. Rent must come from the shop owner's balance at the cost of 10,000 silvers per room, and must be available on the 1st of every month. Each partner in a shop maintains separate books, and rent is only drawn from the primary shop owner's account. Failure to pay the shop maintenance for 90 days will result in repossession of the shop.

===Visitation===
Each shop must be visited regularly by its owner or partner(s). Failure to visit for 90 days will result in the loss of the shop. Note: A "visit" requires passing through the portal (either alone or as the leader of a group) into the shop and then using one of the {{boldmono|SHOP}} verb options (such as {{boldmono|SHOP INFO}}) while inside the shop to check on its status.

However, although a partner's visit counts as much toward keeping a shop open as a visit from the shop's owner, if an owner fails to check in personally for 90 days, the shop may be taken over irretrievably by the shop partner/s, as follows, from {{boldmono|SHOP POLICY}}:

<pre{{log2}}>
If a shop owner fails to check into their shop for 90 days the partner can take over the shop by means of an {{boldmono|ASSIST}}. If more than one partner is on the shop, all partners will need to give consent to a single partner. If an agreement cannot be made, the shop will be evicted. If the original owner returns, they cannot reclaim the shop from the new owner without their consent. This will be handled in a case by case situation and is not a guarantee.
</pre>

===Repossession===
In the event that a shop is reclaimed by the Shop Permit Authority, the inventory will be held by the permit clerk (in a box identified by name on the floor of the Shop Permit Authority office) for a maximum of 90 days, after which it will be permanently lost. A note for the shop balance will also be in the box.

===Room Extension===
You can buy a one room or two room extension from the local permit authority.
<pre{{log2}}>
>ask authority for two room extension
The authority says, "The current price for a 2 room extension is 150000 silvers. We accept coins and bank notes. Just ask me about it again within the next minute if you're still interested."

The authority accepts your silvers, jingling them together once before tucking them safely away.

The authority says, "If you lose that permit before you make use of it, you're out of luck. Just read the permit for more instructions."

>read permit
Shop Permit Issued to XXXXX

Authority Valued At 150000 silvers

Valid only for a 2 room extension to an existing shop in Wehnimer's Landing.
This permit can be transferred to another party.

Stand in your shop you wish to improve and and use {{boldmono|SHOP EXTEND PERMIT}} <direction>.

>shop extend permit east
Your shop permit allows you to extend your shop. You now have a new room.

>shop extend permit north
Your shop permit allows you to extend your shop. You now have a new room.
With no further need for your shop permit, you throw it away.</pre>

==Shop Alterations==

The information shared below is intended to help facilitate player shop alteration planning.

Shop alterations are a special merchant service. They are sometimes provided at festivals or calendared events to alter one facet of a shop. They can also be redeemed as a prize for winning the monthly Premium Contest. Rarely, full shop alterations are provided via raffle.

===Shop Name===

The [Room Name] of your shop can be altered. If your shop has more than one room, each room can have a different room name. The main room name is referenced in the outside description of your shop when you look at it.

While shop names are flexible and can be creative, they cannot imply that the shop is anything other than what it is. For example, its name cannot state that the shop is an inn, a museum, a tavern, or anything else other than a shop.

The maximum character limit for a shop name or a room name is 31.

Altering a shop's room name typically includes altering all room names of the shop as a single service.

===Shop Facade===

:'''Facade:''' Capable of having a long within a specific framework.

The shop exterior can be altered but must fit within a very specific framework. The exterior is comprised of two parts, the facade itself and the decoration (which is often a roof), each of which may only be a 15/15/15. The facade half is required; the decoration half is optional. This appears in the format of:
:[a/an article] [adjective] [noun] with [article] [adjective] [noun]
Examples of how this can be phrased include:
*[a bright,green brick,shop] with [rose bushes,framing the,door]
*[an expansive,vermilion silk,tent] with [flanking carved,limestone,wyverns]
*[a broad roughly,hewn haorbeam,doorway] with [silvery,mithril rune,inlay]

The shop exterior must fit into the local surroundings. For example, a grass hut is perfect for Mist Harbor but not in Icemule Trace. There are building codes for each town, so make sure to tour the local shops and what exteriors are available in your town first to have a better idea of what those building codes are. Zul Logoth shop exteriors can only be doors or similar types of entryways. Ta'Vaalor shops have to be some sort of tent or pavilion.

Shop exterior facades and their nouns must be appropriate for a shop and cannot suggest that the shop is something that it is not. Mansions, towers, castles, and other buildings that are not clearly identified as shops are not allowed. Inns, restaurants, tea houses, and pubs are also not allowed, since the player shop system does not support bedrooms or full service for food or drink. Wagons and other forms of transportation are not allowed because the player shop system cannot support the shop being moved.

Shop exterior decorations do not have to be an actual roof, even though this is the most common decoration available off the shelf. They can also be any sort of additional decorative feature that sets the shop apart from others.

Altering a shop's exterior typically includes altering both the facade and the decoration as a single service.

===Shop Interior Objects===

:'''Ceiling:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Wall:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Floor:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Wall Hanging:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Rug:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Container #1:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Container #2:''' Capable of having a long AND a show.
:'''Sign:''' Capable of having a 15/15/15 only.

The essence of each item must remain the same. A wall hanging must be something appropriate for the wall; it cannot be turned into a bathtub.

Some room arrangements look weird depending on how the object is altered. It is recommended to look at the various room arrangement options and how they display for a better idea of what to expect when planning interior alterations. For some room arrangement configurations, the long description is not visible in the room itself even though it is present on the object.

Containers will need to be located inside the shop prior to the alteration work being done. They should be the type of container you want. Some containers allow for storage ON them, such as a table, while others allow for storage IN them, such as chests. The altered container must make sense for how items are stored on or inside. Container alterations change the description only. They do not change how items are displayed (ON vs IN), and they do not change the total capacity of each individual container.

When altering a sign, the same alteration will be applied to the sign in ALL shop rooms. All other shop interior objects are altered separately for each room and do not have to be the same from one room to the next.

Altering one item in one room is typically one service. Altering one sign, impacting all shop signs, is typically one service.

===Custom Shop Interior Description===

Very rarely, full shop remodels are made available which include alterations of the shop name, the shop exterior, all objects inside the shop, plus the option for custom written room descriptions for the interior. This new description is saved as a special custom template when cycling through options via {{boldmono|SHOP ARRANGE}}, allowing it to be turned off or back on again at will.

Custom room descriptions are entirely custom written and do not have to follow the standard template format.

They must reference all objects present in the room: ceiling, wall, floor, wall hanging, rug, and both containers. When identifying those objects, you can identify if you want only the object noun (the last 15 of a 15/15/15), the object adjective + noun (the second and last 15/15 of a 15/15/15), or the full object description (the full 15/15/15). For room descriptions, this full object description will also include the object's long if it has one.

Custom room descriptions must be no longer than 511 characters, although there is some slight wiggle room due to how imbedded links work when referencing the various objects in the room.

For the purpose of a custom room description, if your shop has "some,fancy,walls" as the base object with "some super duper incredibly fancy walls covered with ridiculously decorated murals" as the object's long, the custom room description actually uses the same minimal character count on the back end. It doesn't matter if they are displayed in the room as just "walls", "fancy walls", or as the entire "some super duper incredibly fancy walls covered with ridiculously decorated murals".

Custom shop interior descriptions are very rare. They are not typically offered as a standalone single item shop service.

===Additional Notes===

All alterations must follow all {{boldmono|ALTER}} rules. This is especially true with regard to rarer materials. Rare materials can sometimes be used as trim and must be supplied. For example, if eahnor is provided, it can be used to trim a mirror but not to make an entire wall out of eahnor.

==Additional Information==

In the late 2000s, the shop system broke. Despite the efforts of several GMs, no one was able to fix it to its intended level of functionality or expand upon the mechanics. In [[Prime]], shops did not get repossessed, rent was not collected, and character owners were not required to visit their shops on a regular basis. Thus, shops were only available by purchasing one from another player.

In May 2017, GM Retser completed work on the system, and [[/saved posts#The Fixing (2017)|some shops were released via the {{boldmono|SHOP LOTTERY}} system]]. As of July 2023, more shops are being made available again via the SHOP LOTTERY system.

(Sidenote: Shops won via the 2023 SHOP LOTTERY system are having rent collected. Premium members who win shops automatically have three room shops, so that's 30k per month in rent.)

Skill migration

2023-06-20T04:30:21Z

BURTNETTJ: /* New Character Migration */

Skill migration is the system that allows characters to change what [[Skill|skills]] they train in over time. It is not intended to allow characters to easily change their hunting style or other major skills, but instead to allow changes to secondary and tertiary skills. For major changes to a character's build, either use of [[FIXSKILLS]] or a surfeit of patience is strongly recommended. To see the current status of a character's skill migration, use [[SKILLS (verb)|SKILLS BASE]].

==Migrating Points==
Skill migrations are tracked over a 30-day period. Throughout that 30-day period, a character begins unlearning skills at a somewhat reasonable rate, which soon tapers off. Skill points are slowly untrained on a migration [[pulse]], which happens once every 30 seconds. Since a character only migrates points on a migration pulse, no points are migrated when the character is not logged in.

===Migration Rate===
{| {{prettytable}} align="center"
!align="center"|Speed||Points Migrated||Points per Pulse||Points per Minute||Points per Hour||Time to Migrate 1 TP||Time at Rate||Total time
|-
|align="center"|Fast||0 - 60||0.010||0.020||1.2||50 minutes||50 hours (to migrate 60 TP)||50 hours (to migrate a total of 60 TP)
|-
|align="center"|Slow||60 - 80||0.002||0.004||0.24||4 hours, 10 minutes||83 hours, 20 minutes (to migrate 20 TP)||133 hours, 20 minutes (to migrate a total of 80 TP)
|-
|align="center"|Very Slow||80+||0.001||0.002||0.12||8 hours, 20 minutes||n/a||133.333... + 8.333... × '''P''' hours (to migrate a total of '''P''' + 80 TP)
|}

===An Uncomplicated Example===
Suppose a level 100 cleric had yet to untrain any skills, and wanted to go from 100 ranks of Magic Item Use to 50 ranks. This would involve untraining 50 ranks of MIU, a skill that costs 0 Physical Training Points (PTP) and 2 Mental Training Points (MTP) to train. She would then be untraining a total of 0 PTP and 100 MTP.

The first 60 MTP being untrained would progress at a rate of 0.010 MTP per 30 second pulse, or 0.020 MTP per minute. After the first pulse, the cleric would be considered to have to 99 ranks of MIU, not 100. She would have 0.010 new MTP available, which isn't very useful.

50 minutes from the beginning of migration, one full MTP would untrain and be available to use in another skill. After another 50 minutes pass (1 hour and 40 minutes in total) another MTP would have migrated away. The cleric has now migrated 2 MTP, the cost of 1 full rank of MIU. The next pulse would then take points away from the next remaining rank of Magic Item Use, and the cleric would be down to 98 ranks of the skill.

After a total of 50 hours have passed, the cleric would have migrated 60 MTP. She'll be down to 70 ranks of MIU. At this point, migration slows down dramatically from 0.010 MTP per pulse to 0.002 MTP per pulse. It now takes five times longer to migrate a training point. After 8 hours and 20 minutes in-game, the cleric will have migrated 2 more of her MTPs, and would be down to 69 ranks of MIU.

75 more in-game hours later, and 18 more MTP will migrate. This brings her to a total of 20 MTP at the slower rate. 133 hours and 20 minutes have passed in total. The cleric is down to 60 ranks of MIU, with 10 ranks more to reach the goal of 50 ranks. Since she's passed the 80 TP threshold, her migration rate slows down once more, halving to 0.001 MTP per pulse.

It now takes 8 hours and 20 minutes to migrate a single training point, or 166 hours and 40 minutes to migrate the remaining 20 MTP. In total, it will take 300 hours in-game to untrain the 50 Magic Item Use ranks, with more than half of that time spent on the last 10 ranks.

If the cleric has been logging in and out during the migration, it's possible that more than 30 days might pass in the process. If that happens, the number of points migrated resets to 0, and the migration rate immediately jumps back up to 0.010 MTP per pulse. It stays there until another 60 points have been migrated.

===Gift of Oleani===
{{#section:Gift of Oleani|GoO}}

==Untraining Skills==
As points are migrated away, characters gradually lose skills. The moment a the first iota of a training point is migrated away from a skill, the character loses 1 effective rank in that skill. Internally and in SKILLS BASE, however, fractional skills are tracked.

===Fractional Skills Example===
Say a warrior has 5 ranks in Harness Power, a skill that costs 0/10 to train. When she begins untraining the skill, she'll almost immediately fall to 4 effective ranks and lose the appropriate amount of maximum mana. After enough migration pulses, she'll have untrained 1 mental training point, which is 10% of the cost of Harness Power. In SKILLS BASE, then she will show 4.900 ranks of the skill, or 4 ranks and 90% left of the fifth rank.

==Converted Training Points and Migration==
Points are migrated away from a skill based on the cost of that skill, not the training points invested. If a Wizard has spent 64 physical points triple-train Spell Research, a 0/32 skill, he will only have to migrate 32 mental points, not 64 physical points. Each mental point will then immediately turn back into 2 physical points, unless the Wizard has somehow rebalanced his skill training in the meantime.

==Multiple Skills and Mixed Training Points==
More research is required into how migrating points away from multiple skills is handled. The same for skills that cost both PTP and MTP.
*Working theory: Points move equally from each skill. Within each skill, points are migrated away proportional to the ratio of PTP to MTP. If a character is on 0.010 migration and is untraining both a 3/4 and a 0/3, she will migrate 0.005 points from each. That would be 0.005*3/7 PTP and 0.005*4/7 MTP from the first skill, and 0.005 MTP from the second skill.
*Backup theory: Points move proportional to the cost of the skill. If a character is on 0.010 migration and is untraining both a 3/4 skill and a 0/3 skill, she will migrate 0.003 PTP and 0.004 MTP from the first skill, and 0.003 MTP from the second skill.

==Training New Skills==
The number of training points listed under SKILLS is not the number of training points a character actually has available to spend immediately, but the number of points the character will have available to spend once all migration is complete. Therefore, if a character is migrating training points, this may be considered a pool of both "Available Training Points" and "Unmigrated Training Points". Available Points are points that were either never invested in a skill or points that were invested in a skill but have since migrated away. Unmigrated Points are training points that are invested in a skill that is being untrained but have not yet been migrated away.

When a character in migration uses [[GOALS (verb)|GOALS]] to train new skills, points will be taken from the "Available Points" pool to buy the new skills, starting with the cheapest affordable skill, and working to the most expensive. This continues until the number of available points is insufficient to buy another skill. All remaining skills yet to be trained will then display "ASAP" for remaining time in SKILLS BASE.

The Available Points pool will then refill, very slowly. Points will accumulate there from two sources: they will transfer over from the Unmigrated Points pool at the given migration rate, and they will appear normally as they are earned from gaining experience towards the next level. The moment there are enough Available Points to cover the cost of an "ASAP" skill in the character's GOALS, the points will be spent, and the character will have access to the skill. This means the cheapest skills will always be trained first.

==New Character Migration==
New characters are an exception to the rule. These characters can migrate skill points almost instantly. Until a character reaches level 20, the character's skill points are migrated not instantaneously, but at an incredibly fast rate. (It appears to be around 350 training points per migration pulse, but I've seen higher and lower rates; further testing is required.)

In addition, when a character has almost reached level 20, they will be required to confirm that their skills are set to their desired values. The character will not be able to earn any additional experience until they have given this confirmation. The final reminder is issued once the character has less than 1000 experience points remaining until level 20.

At this point, a one week time period begins during which to enter{{boldmono| SKILLS CONFIRM}}; if{{mono| SKILLS CONFIRM }}is not entered during this time period, the character will be transported to the "'''End of Fast Migration Limbo'''" and he/she will not be permitted to leave this room until the{{mono| SKILLS CONFIRM }}confirmation is completed.

As an addendum to the previous statement, you can be unceremoniously swept into that Limbo room. But once you've completed the SKILLS CONFIRM, you should be able to either type OUT or GO OUT and be put back into the game. The room itself isn't all that clear on that point since there's no actual room description when you type LOOK.

==FAQs==

;What does ASAP mean?

It means 'As Soon As Possible,' in other words as soon as you have training points available either from gaining new points due to gaining experience or gaining a training point back from reducing a skill via the skill migrator.

;How does the migrator determine what skill to raise first?

Skills with the lowest training point cost will always increase before those with more expensive requirements.

;Why isn't the migrator instantaneous?

The skill migrator was never meant to be a way to make dramatic changes to your character from one day to the next, rather it was meant to provide you with a way to tweak and fix your character's training. It also allows the developers to provide means for players to adapt when significant changes are made that invalidate a previously viable training path or significantly change the way a given training path is 'played.'

;Why are you using online time rather than 'real' time?

The migrator system empowers you to correct minor flaws in your past training. It is not meant to allow you to make dramatic changes to your character, such as going from a lockpicker to an enchanter by setting some goals and logging out for six months.

If you want your character to be a lockpicker, then you should train to be a lockpicker. If your character is currently a lockpicker, but you really wanted to be an enchanter and you have exceeded the initial grace periods for migration, then you are going to have to commit yourself to migrating your skills at the normal rate.

;What if my character is unviable because I am migrating 160 ranks in edged weapons to 160 ranks in ranged weapons?

Unfortunately, you are trying to use the system in a manner contrary to its intended purpose. Consequently, it is not going to be easy to do and it is going to require a lot of time and sacrifice on your part.

Before GemStone IV's release, the only way you could change your ranks was by rerolling your character.

TrMShop:The Label Maker/2017

2022-10-23T11:00:43Z

BURTNETTJ:

'''The Label Maker''' is a wagon currently located on [[Four Winds Isle]] in [[Mist Harbor]] allowing you to purchase labels, quill, and label storage boxes. You can find the wagon on Wisteria Lane (Lich #3656).

Each piece of paper will add one to the inventory of your label storage box.

<pre{{log2}}>
A wooden plank wagon with a bright white roof.

[The Label Maker]
The small space is surrounded by the wooden plank walls of the wagon and taken up by several surfaces that display wares for sale. A solid oak counter resides near the entry door, while a set of oak shelves sits beside a curtain that leads further into the shop. Hanging on the walls are some assorted signs with bold writing, and between them a tall cabinet rests against the wall near a pair of flickering torches.
Obvious exits: none

[The Label Maker, Back Room]
Surrounded by wooden plank walls, this small back room is nearly bare save for a circular wooden table and a plush purple armchair. A worn pale cream carpet covers the wood plank flooring, and the matching walls are interrupted only by a hanging curtain that leads to the front room.
Obvious exits: none

Necrotic ring

2022-10-05T11:31:20Z

BURTNETTJ:

__NoTOC__
<table><tr valign="top"><td>
The necrotic ring is '''a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards'''. It was released at [[Ebon Gate 2019]], as a prize from the Arena of the Abyss. The ring is charged by defeating undead in the Arena and may randomly reanimate slain foe throughout the year, if charges remain. The number of charges can be determined through [[Analyze]] or [[Loresinging|loresinging]]. Additional features were added at [[Ebon Gate 2020]], including the ability to spawn undead [[boss creatures]] and another to provide a chance for the ring owner to receive a boost to their attacks and defenses for a limited time.

Additional charges can be procured either from the the lithe dark-skinned abyran'ra at the Arena of the Abyss entrance (28549). Just ASK (1 per 25 soul shards), or with '''sticky ichor green substance''', which is purchased at Ebon Gate festival.

</pre>

==Show==
<pre{{log2}}>Across the surface of the ring, spots of ochre and brown stains radiate from tiny crystalline structures embedded in the bone. Ichor green motes and shadows lurk within the crystals, living inclusions that alternately lighten and darken the calcification along the ring's edges. A faint pulse, deep and bone-jarring, accompanies the flickering, beating like a necrotic heart.

|-
|Eclipsing your mind's eye with shadows and the faint flicker of burning candles, the history of a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards comes to you slowly. Vague outlines in the murk solidify into drawn chalk designs upon a smooth stone floor, the arcane twists and curves illuminated by thirteen fitfully burning votives. Steady and rhythmic, the repeated words of a chant punctuate the air, though their meaning and the source is unclear. Gradually, a sanguine ribbon of light rises out of the haze of candlelight and takes its time expanding. It grows in size and shape to form a hazy portal and, at the moment of its completion, a demonic being steps forth from its depths. Screeching into the cold stone of the summoning chamber, the grotesque monstrosity begins to move, but the vision grows fuzzy and fades away.
|The smooth bone ring seems to respond to the magic of XXX's song.
|-
|As if waking from a nearly forgotten dream, the cold ring in your hand begins to vibrate, and instantly a vision forms within your mind. Chaos reigns supreme in an enclosed chamber as a demonic being bashes at the arcane bindings of the summoning circle that traps it in place. Robed figures rush forward to redraw chalk lines, while others raise their hands and begin to chant in an effort to fortify the bindings. Two figures are untouched by the turmoil around them, their eyes locked across the distance that separates them. Framed in the haze of the portal, an ophidian-eyed woman plunges her spear into the heart of the demonic beast, a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards flashing on her hand in the candlelight. Beyond, amid the tumultuous activities of his followers, a violet-eyed man watches. Without breaking eye contact, she steps back into the portal and with a wave of her hand, closes it. The chamber and your mind's eye are thrown into darkness.
|The smooth bone ring seems to respond to the magic of XXX's song.
|-
|As your voice touches upon a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards, a vision unfolds within your mind's eye. A tortured landscape of shifting sands stretches before you, while above, the burned atmosphere is rife with sanguine light and a thin blanket of grey, tumbling clouds. Enormous bones, the remains of some forgotten beast, create shadows ahead, their edges shimmering from the heat and arid climate. Confidence, hunger, and a fierce determination fill you as you prowl toward the shadows with purposeful intent. You stop upon the edge of the pooling darkness, your eyes scanning its depth, and with a sudden, blindingly fast movement, you stab with your spear into the darkness. Writhing in agony, a serpentine beast formed of tentacles, mist, and talons falls to the ground at your feet. Before its death throes can finish, you place your hand upon its muck-covered chest and intone a few short words. A smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards that rests on your finger ripples with necrotic energy and draws the last visages of life out of the demon beneath your touch. As the light fades from the orbs of its many eyes, you see your own ophidian-like eyes reflected in their depths. Like the snuffing of a candle, the vision disappears.
|The smooth bone ring seems to respond to the magic of XXX's song.
|-
|A vision unfolds within your mind's eye as your voice touches upon a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards. The arid air fills your mouth with the taste of dust and salt as you sit perched in the sand upon the half-buried skull of some enormous, forgotten beast. You pull the tentacle off a dead demon at your feet and bring it to your lips, the inky blood nourishing you for the moment. As you feast, your gaze falls upon five mirrors resting upon the ground. Though they face the sky, the reflection in each is not that of a bruised, angry red sky, but instead of a man with violet eyes. You begin to realize that you are watching him at various times, though you are unable to determine their relation to your own time. In one image, he obsessively combs through texts for some obscure piece of knowledge, and in another, he commissions a ship, while in a third, he stands over a map of an ocean while conferring with scraps of parchment. In each, you notice a rough sketch yourself and come to realize he is searching for you. Slowly, the vision fades.
|The smooth bone ring seems to respond to the magic of XXX's song.
|-
|As the song of a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards entwines with your own, a vision blossoms within your mind's eye. You find yourself seated, your elbows propped upon your knees, and your eyes focused upon mirrors laying in the dark sand. Twilight begins to darken the sanguine sky as you watch a violet-eyed man draw the lines of a summoning circle upon the deck of a ship. You feel a small smile creep across your face, the sensation of it almost as alien as the land in which you find yourself. You wave your hand over the small mirrors, their centers immediately darkening to black, and gaze over your shoulder. An army of skeletons in tattered robes, some humanoid, some not, stands motionless under your gaze. Running your thumb against the underside of a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards on your finger, they suddenly lurch into motion and begin to march as your vision fades.
|The smooth bone ring seems to respond to the magic of XXX's song.
|-
|Anticipation seeps from a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards in your hand as your voice touches upon it, and soon your mind's eye is filled with the vision of a tortured landscape beneath a hazy, sanguine sky. A ripple appears in the air before you, its edges widening with every breath you take of acrid air. Thunder, not born of the world you stand in, fills the air with its ominous warning just as the ripple abruptly expands to create a portal that leads to the deck of a ship at sea. Flicking your fingers, a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards resting against the bony appendage, you order an army of skeletons through and watch as they collide with arcane magics of a summoning circle. The magical resistance that they face is short-lived, and between one heartbeat and the next, they shred the barrier and swarm the crew. Waiting for you, a violet-eyed man stands at the forecastle, and as you move to cross the distance that separates you, a blinding flash of lightning explodes the floorboards. Water, salty and bitter, rushes against your dry skin, and with but a blink, you find that the vision has evaporated.
|The smooth bone ring seems to respond to the magic of XXX's song.
|-
|As your voice touches upon a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards, a high-pitched ringing sound fills your ears, the noise effectively muting all other sounds. Your lungs begin to burn with the need for air, but before you risk taking a breath, you open your eyes and are immediately greeted with the sting of saltwater. Above your position within the water, moonlight illuminates the shattered remains of a boat, its possessions, and the lifeless forms of the two armies that battled on its decks as they plummet towards you and the bottom of the ocean. In a state of panic, you splay your fingers wide, a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards on your finger flashing in the silvery light, and begin to draw energy from the dead as they pass you. Ethereal spirits rise out of the corpses and surge towards you, their tortured screams lost in the water. Your ring pulses with an energy that eases the burning in your lungs as it absorbs each one. You swim towards the surface with frantic movements, your attention split between capturing souls and maneuvering through the debris that sinks past you. A lancing pain nearly blinds you as a dark shape moves through the water by your left side, and its teeth are the last thing you see before your vision darkens.

|Tumbling and turning, water rushes in around your vision as you sing to a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards, though your attempt to garners no new information. You begin to feel the weight of it sucking you down, but just as quickly as the sensation was upon you, it has left.

Arena of the Abyss

2022-10-05T11:05:51Z

BURTNETTJ:

Newly opened in 2019, Caligos has its own arena, run by demons. The arena entrance (Lich Room# 28549) can be accessed via green portal from the hazy chamber near the fishing area, or by rowing a gondola from the pier in the next room. The rowing is a bit of a puzzle. The entrance fee is 100 redeemed seashells (maybe soul shards). PAY 100 when standing in the entrance and the abyran'ra will escort you to the arena grounds. You do not need a games pass to enter the arena.

Once inside, you can BEG the spirits to speed through the announcements if you wish, then face five undead creatures one at a time. To avoid death, you can SURRENDER, but you will also surrender your prize. Once you have defeated all five, you will be removed from the arena and awarded a prize. Prizes include breakable hearts similar to other breakable items found in digging- usually containing a few silvers or a gem, [[Fusion Shaman]] tokens, yellow [[Roleplaying award]] orbs and rarely a [[Necrotic ring|necrotic ring]].

1: Countless hammocks, fashioned from lengths of sailcloth, are strung from the ceiling in this cramped space. Makeshift tables have been pieced together from old barrels and warped planks, each set with mismatched tin cups and water pitchers. A basket of fruit hangs from a post near the door, along with a community toothbrush. 

2: Rows of bunks fitted with feather stuffed mattresses fill the cabin, while hammocks of sailcloth crowd the spaces between. Hanging above a wash basin, a silvered glass mirror reflects the view from a small porthole. A calico kitten snores quietly in one of the top bunks, a tiny mouse curled up beneath its chin. 

3: A dice game lies forgotten on the floor, along with an overturned tankard of ale, the foamy brew seeping into the oaken planks. Hammocks are strung from the low ceiling, while mattresses stuffed with feathers and straw are spread around the cabin, some occupied with bedbugs. A tarnished silver lantern flickers above a small desk occupying one corner. 

4: Hammocks fashioned from sailcloth and strung on lengths of braided rope sway from the low deckhead of this cramped cabin. Likewise, the oaken table tops are strung from cables overhead, allowing sea chests and foot lockers to be stored underneath, as well as provide makeshift seating. A tarnished silver mirror is fixed to the bulkhead above a small wash basin replete with shaving supplies. 

5: Row after row of canvas hammocks threaded through hemp ropes sway from the low deckheads, while tightly stacked bunks line the walls. Sea chests and metal footlockers are secured through staples set into the deck to ensure that they stay in place during the worst of storms. A weathered driftwood writing desk sits in one corner next to a small wash basin.

Open Sea Adventures

2022-09-07T07:16:28Z

BURTNETTJ: /* Restocking and Fixing Your Ship */

{{TOCright}}'''Open Sea Adventures''' is a new expansion to the game that was released in [[Prime]] on September 3, 2020. Set sail on the [[Great Western Sea]] and launch into a brand new adventure on the [[Tenebrous Cauldron]] and [[Great Western Sea]] - complete with dynamic weather messaging and a multitude of rooms. Get started by visiting port town [[Kraken's Fall]] to purchase one of 6 ships: sloop, brigantine, carrack, frigate, galleon, or man o’ war. Gather your friends and set sail, braving the perils of the vast seas, as you work to raise your reputation and notoriety. Fight Krolvin Pirates, Ethereal Pirates, and the Dreaded Dark Pirates with your life and your crew's life on the line. Will you set sail in a perilous circle, or journey from Darkstone Bay to Kraken’s Fall? Will you cast your lines and take your friends out and avoid all enemy ships? Will you attempt to be the most notorious Captain or Swashbuckler?

==System Overview==

* Explore the newly-accessible ocean and experience dynamic weather messaging.
* Buy your own ship and travel in style.
* Gain reputation to access better ships and cosmetic upgrades.
* Gain notoriety and unlock special [[title system|titles]] - both temporary and permanent.
* Test your mettle in ship versus ship combat. Fire your cannons, repair your ship, or flee from your enemies!
* All new ship boarding. Fight waves of enemies aboard your ship as you attempt to come out victorious. Defeat them all, take their treasure, and raze their ship!
* Lost at sea? Lose your crew and your morale? There is a new rescue system to help you get back to port should you face total defeat on the high seas.

===The Ocean===

The ocean is massive in scale. Players can use ships to travel between several towns west of the DragonSpine:

* [[Kraken's Fall]]
* [[Teras Isle]]
* [[Solhaven]]
* [[Wehnimer's Landing]]
* [[River's Rest]]

A collection of various Open Sea Adventures maps can be found [[/maps | here]].

===Reputation, Notoriety===

Reputation and notoriety are gained with Kraken's Fall by hunting down pirates or performing tasks at the [[Sea Hag's Roost]] such as culling pirates, hunting captains, or sinking ships. ''Reputation'' unlocks more cosmetic options and the ability to purchase the larger ships (but does not result in a price reduction). ''Notoriety'' tracks your total infamy on the seas with "all time" notoriety ({{boldmono|OSA INFO}}) and a 30-day notoriety tracking leadboard which is mostly for bragging rights but also unlocks possible [[title]]s. Your total pirate kills are also tracked with more tracking planned for future release phases.

Your Reputation starts out at Neutral and increases by performing the following tasks:
* Turning in Salvaged Crates
* Killing Pirates
* RAZEing ships
* Turning in completed tasks
* TBD

|-
| Amiable || 2500
|-
| Revered || 4500
|-
| Exalted || 7000
|-
| Ally || 10000
|}

===Death and Total Failure===

Should you experience the unique [[Death%27s_Sting#Hunting_Ground_Specific_Death_Messaging|death messaging]] by [[death|dying]] on the sea or falling overboard - where you will eventually drown, you will be lucky enough to either be rescued by good sailors or by greedy pirate. What happens next depends on which group finds you and returns you to Kraken's Fall. Pirates will ransom your freedom while the town will charge you for the rescue services provided. The death/rescue event takes 4.2 minutes. If your ship is sunk, you must repair it. All fees must be paid on a ship before you can launch it again.

===New Verbs===

* {{boldmono|[[OSA (verb)|OSA]]}} displays information related to the system as well as fines, roles, current task, and other help.
* {{boldmono|[[SHIP (verb)|SHIP]]}} displays customizations and upgrades of owned ship, allows you to scuttle your ship to end your jouney, and provides information on the systems, processes, and commands related to managing and using your ship.
* {{boldmono|[[REPUTATION (verb)|REPUTATION]]}} displays information on your reputation with the town of Kraken's Fall as well as with [[Reim]].

==Ships==

To buy a ship, you need to visit [[Chip n' Dwight's]] on Deadeye's Road in Kraken's Fall. When first starting on your career as a captain, you will only have access to the sloop. To earn access to the larger ships, you will need to earn reputation with the town of Kraken's Fall. You can do so by performing tasks or hunting down pirate ships out on our beloved ocean, the [[Tenebrous Cauldron]], or on the [[Great Western Sea]]. This may be done on other people's ships, not just your own. Ships are a one-time purchase and can never be re-sold or transferred. Increasing your reputation does not decrease the cost of the ships.

{{OSA_Ships}}

====Naming====

Your ship will have a random name, assigned when you purchase it. This can be changed (re-randomized) for a fee by talking to the ship name registrar within the [[Inking Den]]'s Office of Petitions. A partial, yet growing list of potential [[ship name]]s is available to view or contribute to based on your own ships.

===Ship Upgrading and Cosmetics===

You can upgrade your ship by visiting one of the many merchants around Kraken's Fall. Each merchant has a specialty in a service they can provide. Functional upgrades offer mechanical gains to make your ship stronger. Cosmetic upgrades allow you to customize and personalize your ship's appearance to suit your character.

====Functional Upgrades====

===Ship Combat===

While sailing, you have a random chance to be attacked by an enemy ship from these types: general/mixed (these have dark ships), ethereal (undead), or krolvin. The enemy ship is private and spawned specifically for you and your crew. Once engaged, you can follow the above outlined combat for general boarding. Once boarded, creatures spawn in waves for everyone on board at the level of those gathered. These match the level of those in each room, so separate if you need to. You can spread out onto both ships, but your ship can be hit by cannon fire or arrows while boarded. (This appears to do damage only to the characters while boarded, not the ship.)

Ethereal (undead) pirates require blessed magic metal or, if using ranged, magical woods or magical metal arrowheads.

{| {{prettytable}}
|- style="background:#00004C; vertical-align: top; font-size: larger; color:white;"
|Enemy Ship Size ||Enemy Count
|-
|scope="row"|Sloop ||15-20
|-
|scope="row"|Brigantine ||30-40
|-
|scope="row"|Carrack ||35-45
|-
| scope="row"|Galleon ||50-60
|-
| scope="row"|Frigate ||60-80
|-
| scope="row"|Man O'War ||90-120
|}

If you manage to deplete the enemy ship of units, a boss (Ethereal Captain, Krolvin Captain, or Pirate Captain) will spawn that must be defeated. If you defeat the boss, you can {{boldmono|SEARCH}} the treasure pile on their ship for boxes. You may also want to take their supply crate to restock your own ship.

Salvage crates can be gained from searching the treasure pile or, if you sink a ship without boarding, one may appear in the water. The salvage crate will be bound to you and your crew when picked up. These can be brought to the handler and turned in for a loot chest based on the tier of the salvage. The loot crates will have an assortment of items, including gems of varying rarities, Kraken's Fall bank notes of varying amounts, and a chance at an item. Upon handing off the salvage crate, the handler will award any crew members present in the same room with Notoriety and Reputation in addition to the rewards aforementioned. (You must be present in the same room.)

If you want a task before going out, go to the Sea Hag's Roost, Tavern and {{boldmono|GET BOARD}}. Once you have a task, you can use {{boldmono|OSA TASK}} for details and help or to abandon it. To turn in the task, return to the Sea Hag and {{boldmono|TURN BOARD}}.

===Ship Repairing & Fees===

As you sail your ship, it may incur damage that must be repaired. To repair your ship after it is destroyed or damaged, you will need to visit the boatswain. You can find him at the [[Academy of the Bos'n]] on Deadeye's Road. You may also find yourself with fines due to services provided by the town while out on the open sea or trapped in a back alley. You will need to pay these off at the local debt collector. Having debts in either form will prevent you from launching your ship again. Maximum ship fees for a scuttled or destroyed ship are listed in the Summary of Ship Statistics table.

While in combat, you'll see messaging that a cannon ball hit your ship in different spots. It is imperative that you repair the damage done (see ship commands below) or your ship will sink.

===Ship Roles===

Ship roles will provide you with bonuses, beginning at the adept rank, as you level them up. You will need to declare your role before taking part in a journey. The bonuses can range from more damage when firing a cannon to faster interaction with navigation. To declare your role, you will need to visit the NPC in Kraken's Fall. You {{boldmono|ASK OFFICIAL ABOUT DECLARE <role>}} in exchange for 10,000 silver. He is located in the Town Hall, the [[Inking Den]], in the Office of Employment. Each role has some specialties that pertain to its title. You can look at the {{boldmono|OSA ROLE}} command to see your status.

Role Experience can be earned performing the following tasks:
* Steering the ship
* Firing the cannons
* Loading the cannons
* Repairing the ship
* Razing an enemy ship
* Turning in salvaged crates
* Turning in a completed task board

The Role Ranks are Rookie, Novice, Adept, Veteran, Master. Each Role Rank earned provides a Role Bonus starting from the Novice rank (nothing is earned as a Rookie). The Role Bonuses earned at each rank stack with ones earned at the lower rank. Role Experience required increases each rank up to a maximum of 3000.

===Ship & Sailing Basics===

====Setting Sail====
To launch your ship, you will need to find the dock handler outside the pier on Deadeye's Road. You can {{boldmono|RETRIEVE}}, {{boldmono|STORE}}, or {{boldmono|STOCK}} your ship here. Retrieving will find an empty spot along the pier and launch your ship for you to use. If you are taking a quick break between voyages, avoid the retrieval fee by leaving your ship at the pier. Just remember that all ships are stored after two hours docked or four hours stationary on the ocean for system efficiency. After you have successfully retrieved your ship, you can find it out on the pier. The handler will tell you which space on the pier your ship occupies.

The absolute minimum the sloop is stocked with on retrieval is 25 of each material; the retrieval fee covers half of your supplies and the ability to launch your ship. If you want more, you can {{boldmono|STOCK}} your ship with {{boldmono|WOOD}} or {{boldmono|CANNON}} balls, and it will fill up your cargo supplies for your adventure. Cannon balls are 100 silvers each and wood is 100 silvers a plank. You can avoid this extra fee if you would like to immediately board an enemy ship and take over some of their supplies.

Once you reach your ship, you can {{boldmono|GO SHIP}} (sloop, brigantine, etc.) to have the gangplank deployed. Once on your ship, you can either {{boldmono|PULL GANGPLANK}} or {{boldmono|PUSH GANGPLANK}} to deploy or retract it. It is best to familiarize yourself with the layout of your ship prior to {{boldmono|DEPART}}ing on your journey.

#{{boldmono|RETRIEVE}}
#{{boldmono|STOCK}}
#{{boldmono|PUSH GANGPLANK}} deploys your gangplank and {{boldmono|PULL GANGPLANK}} retracts it. You cannot deploy your gangplank into the middle of the ocean. You can only deploy it at a port or when engaged with another ship and in boarding range.
#{{boldmono|DEPART}} can be used when you are ready to start your voyage from a port.

====Sailing and Steering Your Ship====

Use the map located in the Captain's Quarters to gain your bearing based on the nautical map name. Each 50 room block has its own unique identifier and the [[#The Ocean|ocean map]] will give you an idea as to which block you're in. At this time, there is no bias in what type of enemy you get based upon where you are in the map, so sail freely!

There is messaging when the ship moves that indicates the state of the sails of your ship. This messaging was added to help players identify if they forgot to handle their sails.

{|{{prettytable}}
|- style="background:#00004C; vertical-align: top; font-size: larger; color:white;"
|+Sail Messaging on Movement
|-
|No Sails||The man o' war drifts slowly north, its sails fully raised.
|-
|Other Sails||The man o' war cuts through the ocean, heading north.
|-
|Full Sails||The man o' war cuts through the ocean, heading north at full speed.
|-
|}

You have have {{boldmono|TURNed}} your wheel in a direction, you will no longer be able to turn it in that same direction again.

<pre{{log2}}>turn wheel port
You grab hold of the maple wheel and do your best to steer the ship toward the bustling port.

turn wheel port
The maple wheel is already turned that way!</pre>

#{{boldmono|PUSH CAPSTAN}} to raise the anchor. You can {{boldmono|KICK}} the capstan to deploy it again.
#{{boldmono|LOWER SAIL}} to get more wind and {{boldmono|RAISE}} sails to get less. This will impact how fast you can sail. If you are sailing a larger ship you will need to manipulate all the sails.
#{{boldmono|TURN WHEEL <DIRECTION>}} will allow you to steer your ship. After you steer your ship you will need to wait for the wind to carry it into the next area. {{boldmono|TURN WHEEL SHIP}} will start navigating for a boarding process. {{boldmono|TURN WHEEL PORT}} will sail you to safety if you're at a port.
#{{boldmono|LOOK MAP}} in the Captain's Quarters will allow you to see where you are on the ocean.

====Stormy Weather====

{{boldmono|ASK HANDLER ABOUT WEATHER}} before going out to get an idea of which oceans to steer clear of or toward! Each area of the Tenebrous Cauldron and the Great Western Sea may have different weather, and the areas are listed below. Storms can have the following effects:

#Crew members have a chance to experience some maneuvers if they're out on the deck during a storm.
#The storm can cause your ship to misbehave, including steering your ship in a different direction and increasing the time it takes to reach a new area.
#Enemy ships are more dangerous. You will face ships potentially out of your league and more difficult ships more often.

The Tenebrous Cauldron has four areas: North Blue, South Blue, West Blue, East Blue.

The Great Western Sea has ten areas: Obsidian Trench, Obsidian Sea, Sea of Lazuli, Solhaven Bay, South of Cobalt Depths, Darkstone Bay, Cobalt Depths, Kestrel Sea, South of Sea of Lazuli, South Kestral Sea.

<pre{{log2}}>The dock handler says, "Based on recent weather reports, here is what the ocean is lookin' like as of right now."

The Tenebrous Cauldron:
North Blue: Light winds with partial clouds
South Blue: Light winds with partial clouds
West Blue: Heavy winds and rain with dark skies
East Blue: Light winds with partial clouds

The Great Western Sea
Obsidian Trench: Heavy winds and rain with dark skies
Obsidian Sea: Calm seas and blue skies
Sea Of Lazuli: Light winds with partial clouds
Solhaven Bay: Calm seas and blue skies
South of Cobalt Depths: Calm seas and blue skies
Darkstone Bay: Light winds with partial clouds
Cobalt Depths: Light winds with partial clouds
Kestral Sea: Heavy winds and rain with dark skies
South of Sea of Lazuli: Light winds with partial clouds
South Kestral Sea: Calm seas and blue skies</pre>

====Engaging in Battles====

Cannon balls should be taken onto the deck of your ship to load the cannons. You can only {{boldmono|FIRE}} your cannon if you are engaged with an enemy.

#{{boldmono|GET CANNON BALL}} from your cargo hold then move to your cannon and {{boldmono|LOAD}} it. You are limited to loading your cannons to the total number of cannons per side. Cannon balls are temporary and will self-destruct if not used.
#{{boldmono|LOAD CANNON}}
#{{boldmono|FIRE CANNON}} - you can only fire if you're engaged with an enemy ship prior to boarding.

====Boarding a Ship====

Once you are within range of the enemy ship, you will be able to board. You will receive messaging about the ship being almost in boarding range and then receive this message:

<pre{{log2}}>The sides of the <other ship> collide against your <ship>! Several ropes with claw-shaped hooks on the end find purchase into the railing of your <ship>. Battle cries sound off as those on the <other ship> prepare to board!</pre>

There are ambush traps possible. The number of ambushes that can occur depend on size of your ship and are randomized between 1 and the maximum number possible. You will not receive an ambush trap when leaving a room.

{|{{prettytable}}
|+ Ambush Traps
|-
!Ship!!Max Possible
|-
|Sloop ||1
|-
|Brigantine ||2
|-
|Carrack ||3
|-
|Galleon ||4
|-
|Frigate ||4
|-
|Man o'war ||6
|}

See flag information below for more information on pirate spawn rate.

Once you have razed the ship, you will no longer be able to empty the Captain's Quarters and you will get the following message:

<pre{{log2}}>The battle-marred brigantine rapidly descends beneath the cold, dark waters. Your reputation with Kraken's Fall just got better. You gain some experience! You gain some fame! You gain role experience! You have earned some notoriety.</pre>

#{{boldmono|PUSH GANGPLANK}}
#{{boldmono|GO GANGPLANK}}
#{{boldmono|LISTEN}} while on the enemy ship to see how many of the enemy are left.
#{{boldmono|SEARCH}} the treasure pile after you've defeated the boss.
#{{boldmono|RAZE}} to destroy the ship.

====Ship Flag Settings====
You can now use {{boldmono|SHIP FLAG}} on your ship. If you're not the captain, this only displays which flag the captain is flying. This flag is for mechanical use only. The command has a 15 minute cooldown per use. You are at "Neutral" by default.

* White Flag lowers your encounter rate to 20% chance. White flag provides 5 minute encounter immunity after sinking an enemy ship. This also decreases creature spawn rate.
* No Flag keeps your encounter rate at 30% chance. No Flag provides 4 minute encounter immunity after sinking an enemy ship.
* Black flag raises your encounter rate to 40% chance. Black Flag provides 3 minute encounter immunity after sinking an enemy ship. This also increases creature spawn rate.

====Restocking and Fixing Your Ship====

Below deck in the cargo hold, you can find wood and cannon balls. It is a good idea to restock your wood and cannon balls to full prior to starting your journey. Your ship will have a half-supply of wood planks and cannon balls when retrieved from storage. The wood is used to {{boldmono|FIX}} rooms that have taken damage from cannon fire. {{boldmono|ASSESS}} from any room on your ship to get a readout of damage in that room. Boatswains (veteran rank and above) and Captains (master rank) can get a readout of all damage to each room of the ship. Your ship's health is a formula of the hull strength by a multiplier. As it takes damage, it detracts from a total health pool. Repair any damage received before taking too much and sinking.

You can store things in the cargo bin on the ship; this is the only place that is safe from the janitor.

#{{boldmono|ASSESS}} while used on your ship will give you a readout of any damage in that specific room.
#{{boldmono|GET WOOD}} from your Cargo Hold then move to where your ship took damage to repair it.
#{{boldmono|FIX}}

If you have a supply crate, you can {{boldmono|PUT CRATE ON WOOD}} or {{boldmono|PUT CRATE ON BALLS}} to restock them. You can {{boldmono|LOOK WOOD}} or {{boldmono|LOOK BALLS}} to check supplies.

====Interacting with the Ocean====

If you are thrown from the ship, you can climb back up onto the ship you fell off of even if the anchor is up.

*{{boldmono|LOOK OCEAN}} will let you glance out from your ships deck to see where you are on the Tenebrous Cauldron. You can use {{boldmono|PEER}} in directions to glance ahead. The crow's nest will allow you to peer a little farther.
*{{boldmono|WATCH OCEAN}} will let you keep an up to date glance at the ocean room as your ship sails. This information will go to the familiar window.
*{{boldmono|JUMP}} can be used on the main deck of the ship to jump into the ocean. You'll want to drop your anchor before doing this!
*{{boldmono|CONSIDER}} will let you check the status of the weather on the ocean.
*{{boldmono|PEER}} will let you look at the ocean in the directions provided. If you are in the crow's nest you will be able to peer an extra room out.

If you have an item with the noun ''spyglass'' or ''telescope'' and you {{boldmono|PEER}} with it in your hand, you will be able to see one additional room. This provides for being able to see two rooms when on deck and three rooms when in the crow's nest.

====Quick Command List====

* PUSH/PULL GANGPLANK to extend or draw in the gangplank.
* RAISE/LOWER SAIL to adjust speed.
* TURN WHEEL any cardinal or ordinal direction for normal travel.
* TURN WHEEL PORT to steer the ship at a port in the same room as your ship.
* TURN WHEEL SHIP to start a boarding action when an enemy ship is present.
* PUSH/KICK CAPSTAN to raise and lower anchor.

Bloodrune Holder

2022-09-02T02:16:00Z

BURTNETTJ: /* See Also */

==Summary==
The Bloodrune Holder was released by GM Wyrom through the Mystery of the Abyss event during [[Duskruin Arena]] in August 2019. The holders take the form of '''an archaic steel dodecahedron''' and are available to purchase for silvers. They are limited to one per character and character bound.

<blockquote>
<big>'''LOOK'''</big>
<pre{{log2}}>
Roughly the size of a fist, the dodecahedron is an archaic contraption of unknown origin. An oily finish gives the piece a reflective quality, while deeply incised runes shimmer as the piece is manipulated in the light. Flashing at random intervals, sanguine light chases a pulsing white light across the chiseled edges. A small, flat opening is in the center of each side. The steel dodecahedron is empty.
</pre>
</blockquote>

=Obtaining the Bloodrune Holder=

You will need 1,000,000 silvers, the box will not accept a note.

Travel to [Hypogeal Cavern, Ossuary] at room 28350. Once there whisper the passphrase "The rage would consume him." to the doors, this will teleport you to the Abyssal Arena where you will see "a gold-filigree black enamel box". Search the box to obtained your dodecahedron. Be warned that doing so will cause you to suffer a rank 2 hand wound.

To exit the arena, whisper "out" to the door.

===Enchancive Use===

If an uncarved flat etched stone found in the Duskruin Sewers is PUSHed into the dodecahedron and then RUBed, the stone will be consumed to give a temporary enhancive. The rune written on the stone will determine what effect is received. (See [[Bloodrune]] for a list of runes)

*Common - +2 stamina recovery, one hour.
*Arkati - +5 health recovery, one hour.
*Arcane - +2 mana recovery, one hour.
*Mystic - All three, 30 minutes.

===Illusion Use===

The dodechaedron can also give a one line illusion in the character description after the tattoo/piercing line, similar to an [[illusion prop]], if a [[Bloodrune | bloodrune]] is placed inside. To create a bloodrune you will need:

*''a flat etched stone'' found in the sewers
*''a carved ur-barath totem'' received as a consolation prize when losing by a fair margin in the arena, or by trading an ore from the Arena to the archeologist
*''a primitive metal chisel'' purchased from the Mar and Scar (Room 23801)

To carve your stone into a bloodrune READ stone twice to commit it to memory, then holding a totem and chisel in either hand, CARVE my totem with my chisel. The resulting bloodrune can be PUSHed into the dodechaedron, or removed by PULL. Bloodrunes are never consumed, you can change them at will. The illusions provided are a minor version of how the individual bloodrune would alter a full Moonshard Pendant.

The appearance of the illusion is generally based on the type of bloodrune inserted:
*'''Classic''': "S/he gives off a(n) <rune> semblance."
*'''Divine''': "Miniature <rune> spiral outward from him/her before fading away."
*'''Arcane''': "Arcane <rune> sigils glow in front of him/her."
*'''Mystic''': "Mystical energies wash over him, [custom for each Mystic bloodrune]"
Mystic examples: Emotion bloodrune says "swathing him in a heavy shroud of emotional vibrancy." and nature bloodrune says "enveloping him in a light shroud of fluctuating winds.")

The rune variable lines up with those listed for the [[MoonShard pendant]].

===Changing the Metal of the Dodechaedron===

The metal of the dodechaedron can be change by using the ores found in the Arena. The item will become '''an archaic <metal> dodecahedron''' once the process is finished. To change the metal of your holder you will need to purchase a crucible from Mar and Scar then visit the [[Bloodforge]] located near the smithy. (Room 26091).

#Place 5 ores of the same type in your crucible
#Put the crucible on the bloodforge
#Wait for the ore to melt and then cool down. This will take some time.
#Once the crucible is cool enough to touch, GET the crucible and with nothing in your other hand, TOUCH the bloodforge.
#POUR the finished crucible on your dodechadron.

They are separated into three tiers: locked, unlocked, and 6x with special properties. Five 5x and one 6x weapon were auctioned off at each of the first four runs of the Wavedancer.

:;[[Amasalen]]
:* As you raise your white ora sledgehammer high over your head, pulsing crimson light glows from your hands and your white ora sledgehammer shimmers briefly into a twin headed purple serpent, hissing with seeming anticipation.

:* As you raise your blade high, you feel your features twisting into a cruel mask. A writhing sensation on your arm causes you to look over in alarm, and your face pales as you notice a two-headed purple snake working its way slowly up your white ora sledgehammer. When the snake reaches the tip of it, it melts slowly into it without a trace.

:;[[Andelas]]
:* As you raise your white ora fang, you hear a sound like that of a large cat hissing somewhere behind you.

:;[[Charl]]
:* As you raise your white ora troll-claw, the sound of a distant, rolling surf echoes in your mind.
:* A low peal of thunder is heard in the distance as damp sea-scented fog flows into the room. The luminescent fog briefly obscures the area from sight as it tickles the tongue with the faintest taste of salt. Feeling your faith restored by the Ocean Lord's glory, you resolve to continue your fight for honor of the Six Seas.

:;[[Eonak]]
:*As you raise your white ora falchion, the loud ringing of a hammer upon metal reverberates through your head.
:*Sweat beads on your face, and the sound of hammers ringing on anvils fills your ears as you heft the white ora falchion above your head. The white ora falchion glows as red as a forge for a moment, bathing the area in its glow before you lower it again.

:;[[Eorgina]]
:*As you raise your white ora pike, for a brief moment a swirling darkness washes through the area.

:;[[Fash'lo'nae]]
:* You raise your white ora no-dachi. You gain a moment of clarity, and you realize just how to make good use of this white ora no-dachi.
:* As you raise your white ora no-dachi it grows dark and deep within you catch a brief glimpse of a long dead secret.

:;[[Gosaena]]
:* As you raise your white ora sledgehammer a sudden sense of finality sparks a moment of inner reflection.
:* Third: As <person> raises his white ora sledgehammer a sudden sense of finality sparks a moment of inner reflection.

:;[[Imaera]]
:* As your raise your footman's lance a gentle breeze bearing the scent of wheat and barley blows through the area.

:;[[Jastev]]
:*As you raise your white ora troll-claw a dark, forboding feeling comes over you.

:;[[Leya]]
:* As you raise your white ora falchion high, a deep blue aura surrounds the falchion and flows along the surface. Reaching the base, it dims to a soft ivory light before fading slowly away.
:* You thrust your falchion into the air, and your arm begins to vibrate from a jarring force. The sound of hooves reaches your ears moments before you are nearly blinded by the ivory light that travels up your falchion. Blinking into the light, you note the ivory image of a stallion launching itself from the tip of your weapon, only to transform into an owl. The owl beats its wings once only and then fades into nothingness.

:;[[Lorminstra]]
:* As you raise your white ora no-dachi, you feel the the gentle caress of the Lady's hand run over your soul.

:;[[Lumnis]]

:;[[Luukos]]

:;[[Marlu]]
:* As you raise your white ora falchion, a horrible feeling of hunger works its way into your throat.
:* As Thresher raises his white ora falchion, a horrible feeling of hunger works its way into your throat.

:;[[Oleani]]

:;[[Phoen]]

:;[[Ronan]]
:* As you kick out with your white ora-inset boots, an image from your last dream rises up in your mind.

:* You slash the air before you, a fading trail of tiny stars following in the white ora-inset boots's wake.

:;[[Sheru]]
:* As Chaqual raises his white ora espadon, the disturbing call of a jackal sends a shiver down your spine.

:;[[Tilamaire]]
:* You lift your sledgehammer above your head and are suddenly surrounded by the gentle sound of chimes ringing in the air. Rolling blue and yellow light bounces across your sledgehammer, each strike sounding like the ring of a perfectly pitched chime. When your arm reaches to its fullest extension, a final resonating chord is struck. You lower your arm, allowing the beautiful sound to fade into heavy silence.

:;[[Voln]]
:* You raise your sledgehammer and a burst of white energy extends from the weapon to momentarily form a white shield symbol over your head.
:* You thrust your arm high into the air and feel a cold determination filling you. Ebony lights glitter with golden speckles as they rise from the hilt of your weapon towards the tip of your sledgehammer. Several golden shields break through the ebony surface for a moment before the sledgehammer is consumed in darkness. Your sledgehammer resonates loudly for a mere moment then the light bursts into a shower of ebony and golden sparks that shower down around you when you lower your sledgehammer.

:;[[Zelia]]

==Flare messaging==

* A peal of thunder cracks from your white ora maul as baneful white light streams forth to surround ghostly pooka, assaulting it with flames of white-hot fury!
* As your white ora maul connects with the kiramon worker, baneful white flames stream off the maul and strike, leaving smoking, ragged burns behind!
* As you land your blow, the flames surrounding the white ora maul begin to swirl and burn and set the kiramon worker alight! It falls to the floor and rolls to put the blaze out!
* Baneful white flames dance from your white ora maul as an unseen wind fans them into a raging conflaguration that assault the kiramon worker!

==Loresong==
<pre{{log2}}>
As you begin to sing, your vision clouds over and a scene unfolds before you. The image of a scarred dwarf in white leathers laboring deep in a dark, dank mine, grunting as he extracts precious white ora ore.

As you continue to sing, you can see the dwarf laboring over a hot iron forge. He mops his brow continually as he pumps the bellows then returns to the anvil, coaxing a weapon from the white-hot metal. As he hammers again and again with a perfect eonake forging-hammer he looks more and more pleased with his work. He now and again sticks it into a trough filled with a shimmering oil. After a few more minutes of hammering, he begins to look unsatisfied with his results, and then suddenly tosses it back into the fire. "I can do better than that, for Eonak's glory!"

As you continue to sing, your inner vision once again focuses on the scarred dwarf, carefully polishing the (WEAPON) before handing it to an imposing priest. His raiment is of the finest quality, from the magnificent cloth-of-silver cope, his bejeweled miter, and gleaming amethyst on his hand marking him as one of the ecclesiastical hierarchy. He sets the weapon on the altar and cries, "In the name of (BARD'S DEITY), I consecrate this weapon."

As your song comes to an end, you see the (WEAPON NOUN) being used in combat training in the monastery. A burly dwarven acolyte rains down blow after blow versus an obviously overmatched elven clark. Finally, the white ora awl-pike bursts into flames and sets the elf's shield alight! He cries out, "The day is yours M'laird Dwarf. I prostrate myself to your superior skills and must atone for my lack." He glances at the knotted scourge on the training wall and grimaces.
</pre>
==The Merchant==
<pre{{log3}}>
You see Brother Iasha Lisirion the Elf Cleric.
He appears to be in his 180's, has long, braided golden blond hair, multihued eyes, and tanned skin.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a jewel-inlaid eonake adze in his right hand.
He is wearing a shimmering glaesine orb, some scuffed black leather sandals, a high-collared silk vestment, a bejewelled miter, a wide silk crimson alb, and a golden scroll satchel.

Co-operative Houses of Elanthia

2022-03-18T03:02:20Z

BURTNETTJ: /* Resources */

<div class="alert alert-info"><center>'''[https://sites.google.com/site/gs4che/ Official information available on the CHE website maintained by GM Elidi]</center></div>
{{TOCright}}
[[File:Che.jpg|450px|center]] 
The '''Co-operative Houses of Elanthia''' (also known as '''CHE''') is the formal organization to which the Great Houses belong. Its purpose is to establish a standard for behavior by the member houses. It is headed by Arch-Steward Lord [[Ruthiford Pennington]]. In 5115, Lord Ruthiford commissioned the building of [[Ebonstone Manor]] in [[Wehnimer's Landing]] to serve as organizational headquarters. It is located down a red-bricked pathway on North Ring Road one block west of [[Helden Hall]].

The emblem of the CHE, as elected by vote in 2006, is a circular knotwork of conjoined hands surrounding a formidable manor.

Each of the Great Houses has its own grounds and provides various services to its members and, in many cases, to the adventuring community as a whole. Some commonly held events include service nights (spell ups, bounty help), games, lectures, and formal balls. The events are organized by house officers, who are regular subscribing [[player character]]s given extra commands to deploy things like town criers, news items, and house tents, and who can request assistance from an overseeing [[GameMaster]] for things like [[raffle]] tables, structure additions, and extra event messaging.

In addition, characters who join a house will have their [[locker]](s) moved into the house structure and/or house annex, depending on the house, location, and subscription level of the account. In each city other than that where their grounds are located, each House is represented by a private room with locker access located in a public building, in many cases near the public lockers. Two examples of this are the [[Lost Home]] in [[Ta'Illistim]] and the upstairs of [[Hale Hall]] in [[Mist Harbor]].

Also, characters who join a house will be able to engrave the house Coat of Arms on their shield at Wehnimer's Landing's [[Engraver's Shop]].

==Joining==
Each House sets its own induction schedule, membership requirements and joining fees. [[F2P]] accounts may not join a House.

==Resigning==
Members can resign from their current House in the presence of a [[Co-operative_Houses_of_Elanthia#House_Clerk_Locations|House clerk]] using the {{boldmono|RESIGN}} command. Once resigned, a character will no longer be a member of a House, and thus will no longer have the associated benefits (House access, increased locker size). There is no waiting period between leaving one House and joining another.

End of Cooldown Period:

<pre{{log2|margin-right=300px}}>You feel your connection to vitality of nature renew itself once more.</pre>

==Favor Cost==
{{Spoiler}}

[[Favor]] cost is based on the member's level. See [[Favor#Symbol Use Favor Cost|Table]] for specific examples. Symbol of Renewal has a relative cost of 5x [[Symbol of Protection]]. In other words, 1 use of Renewal has the same favor cost as 5 activations of Protection.

===Favor Required to Obtain Symbol of Renewal===

'''Formula: <tt>1800 + (( level2 × 30 ) ÷ 3 )</tt>'''

Ex. level 15 member: <tt>1800 + ((15 × 15 × 30) ÷ 3) = 4050 favor</tt>

Ex. level 20 member: <tt>1800 + ((20 × 20 × 30) ÷ 3) = 5800 favor</tt>

===Monk's Teaching and Instruction Highlights===
*Lady [[Imaera]] is beautiful in any form she takes
*She taught us the Symbol of Protection and also taught us how to renew our souls with the Symbol of Renewal

=== [[Wehnimer's Landing]] Task ===
To complete this task you must return to Imaera's island. Once on the island have both hands empty and after kneeling and praying she will appear in the form of a deer. You should then bow to the deer. If for some reason you are unsuccessful, you will need to return to the monk and listen to his instructions again. By setting a ring at the monastery courtyard you can quickly return from the island.

Gold ring holder

2022-02-27T12:07:09Z

BURTNETTJ:

'''Gold ring holders''' allow one to house a [[gold ring]] in a more stylish manner while freeing up a finger-worn [[inventory]] slot. Recent updates have given these holders new and improved transport messaging which can be changed by a willing merchant. The [[Return_to_Black_Swan_Castle_Prize_List|Return to Black Swan Castle]] and [[Troubled_waters#January-March_2015|Troubled Waters]] featured holders with custom messaging as prizes.

Please note that, when you have a ring in a ring holder, you can still be "Navved." You can lose silvers, but not the ring that's in the jewelry. This has been proven while trying to use cleric Nexus gems to teleport from one space to another. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but for now... it is what it is.

Purification Song (1004)

2022-02-26T08:38:59Z

BURTNETTJ: /* Messaging */

{{spell
| mnemonic = PURESONG
| duration = Instant
| type = Utility
| subtype = Gem Quality Increase
| skill = None
| components = a gem
| availability = a held gem
| navigation = {{Bard base navigation}}
}}
'''Purification Song''' removes blemishes and other impurities from [[gem]]s, thereby increasing the quality and value of them. Each successful cast on a gem increases the value by about 5% of the gem's maximum value.

There is a chance of failure each cast that increases the more the gem is sung to, and can end in damaging or destroying the gem and hurting the singer in the process. Failures can cause [[hitpoint]] (HP) loss, minor or moderate limb [[wound]]s, stuns, and even death. When a gem is sung to multiple times, there is usually a warning prior to an actual failure; however, as failures can occur on the first attempt, this should not be considered a reliable safety measure.

It is possible to sing to a gem so well that the gem transforms to complete purity and becomes a '''[[pure gem]]''', which cannot be further purified for increased value.

How far the bard can purify the gem to its maximum value is determined by [[Bard Base|spellsong]] ranks.

== Lore Benefit ==
Training in [[Mental Lore, Manipulation]] reduces the chance of failure when purifying a gem by 3% per seed 1 [[summation]] of ranks.

{| {{prettytable}} align="center"
!align="right"|Mental Lore, Manipulation ranks||1||3||6||10||15||21||28||36

|}

== Messaging ==
;These messages are listed in order of increasing danger of failure.

Purified
<pre{{log2|margin-right=325px}}>begins to twist and turn as the very essence flows into it filling the imperfections.</pre>

Normal
<pre{{log2|margin-right=325px}}>In response to your voice, the gem glows luminously, its crystalline structure reforming as the gem '''becomes more perfect'''.</pre>

Usually this message will be seen at maximum twice, indicating the gem value is approaching the limit of your skill to purify:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=325px}}>As you focus your voice on the gem, the gem hums in response to the resonance of your voice, appearing '''smoother and more pure in color.'''</pre>

This is the last relatively safe messaging. Any further attempts to purify will more than likely cause the gem to explode:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=325px}}>As you focus your voice on the gem, the crystalline structure of the gem '''improves somewhat'''.</pre>

At this point, the gem will have a high chance to explode if you continue due to insufficient skill:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=325px}}>As you focus your voice on the gem, '''you hear it crack loudly and strain''' under the force of the song.</pre>

The gem is at its maximum failure potential and will almost certainly explode if you continue:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=325px}}>As you focus your voice on the gem, you notice that the resonance of your voice is '''severely affecting''' the crystalline structure of the gem.</pre>

Gem is at maximum value, and/or is already pure:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=325px}}>As the gem resonates in response to your voice, you sense that it cannot be purified any further.</pre>

Additionally this message is received when a gem is successfully purified to orb gem status:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=325px}}>As the song continues, the gem begins to twist and turn as the very essence flows into it filling the imperfections.</pre>

;Massive failure
First cast.
<pre{{log2}}>
You change your tune slightly, adding the element for Purification Song to your song...
Your spellsong is ready.

Call Lightning (125)

2022-02-11T02:35:52Z

BURTNETTJ:

{{spell
| mnemonic = LIGHTNING
| duration = Special
| type = Attack
| subtype = [[Maneuver]]
| target = Single
| interval = [[Damage Over Time]]
| dtype = [[Hitpoint]]
| status = None
| ctype = [[Electrical critical table|Electrical]]
| navigation = {{minor spiritual navigation}}
}}
{{TOC limit|2}}
'''Call Lightning''' summons a storm cloud which, after some time, causes multiple lightning bolts to strike a target within the room. The storm cloud requires 4 rounds to form before the attack will take place. Each round takes about 10 seconds, which can be quickened with training in [[#Lore Benefits|Spiritual Lore, Summoning]]. The storm cloud will strike the target with a random number of lightning bolts, usually 3 or 4.

This spell only works outdoors unless the caster meets additional training thresholds in [[#Lore Benefits|Spiritual Lore, Summoning]].

The cloud will not follow its target out of the room, nor will it hit any other targets (except when rebounding off locked boxes or other objects: [[#Use with Locked Boxes|see below]]), but will continue to build for its full duration and can strike if the original target re-enters the room while the cloud is still active.

''This can also be used on objects, though some objects will cause a ricochet effect, so watch out!''

''The cloud will dissipate early if the caster dies.''

''The cloud can be dispered by casting 119 at it.''

== Lore Benefits ==
Training in [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]] provides two benefits:

===Cast Indoors===
80 ranks of Summoning Lore unlocks the ability to cast the spell indoors. [[Ranger]]s with [[Nature's Touch (625)]] active only need 40 ranks to cast Call Lightning indoors.

===Reduced Buildup Time===
Training in Summoning Lore reduces the spell's buildup time. There is a 1 second ''per round'' reduction for every 10 ranks. The maximum reduction is 7 seconds per round at 70 ranks. With 70 lore ranks the total buildup is reduced from the 40 second base to 12 seconds.

:{| {{prettytable}} align="center"
!align="right"|Spiritual Lore, Summoning ranks||10||20||30||40||50||60||70
|-
|align="right"|Approximate buildup time in seconds||36||32||28||24||20||16||12
|}

== Use with Locked Boxes ==
If cast at a locked [[box (treasure)|box]] on the ground, this spell will vaporize the container, spilling the contents. Be aware that boxes made of [[mithril]], boxes which are enruned, boxes with [[glyph]] traps, or triggered [[Traps#Jaws|jaws traps]] will rebound the lightning to hit the caster or other person in the room rather than destroying the box.

None of the items inside the box will be harmed, except for any [[scroll]]s, which will be burned (making them worthless in the eyes of pawnbrokers and unable to be infused). [[Silver coin]]s will be melted into 'a rough [[slab of silver]]' which can be sold for roughly half the value of the original silver coins, at any gemshop, unless [[Silver to Gold|turned to gold]].

For more information, see:
*[[Popping boxes|Kaldonis's guide to Popping Boxes]]

==Messaging==
In addition to normal messaging, this spell has messaging associated with the beginning of each round.

Rogue Guild

2022-02-10T07:49:36Z

BURTNETTJ: /* Guildmaster */

<div class="alert alert-info"><center>'''Wednesday nights are [[Guild#Guild Nights|Guild Nights]]'''</center></div>
The '''Rogue Guild''' is the [[rogue]]s' [[profession guild]] which allows them to train in a variety of skills.

==Requirements==
Rogues receive an invitation to join the guild when they reach the 15th [[level]]. A rogue of level 15 or greater may also be invited to join the guild by a player guildmaster. The initiation fee is 15,000 [[silver]]s and monthly dues are 5,000 silvers. One can pay up to three months in advance. A rogue who falls more than three months behind on his dues risks expulsion from the guild.

==Skills==
This is a basic list of the skills that may be learned in the rogue guild:
*[[Sweep]]
*[[Subdue]]
*[[Stun Maneuvers]]
*[[Lock Mastery]]
*[[Cheapshots]]
*[[Rogue Gambits]]

==Guildmaster==
To become a Guildmaster one needs a total of 125 ranks in guild skills, as well as mastery in one of those skills (63 ranks to master a skill). One then must be nominated by 2 Guildmasters or other rogues that are eligible for nomination. The mechanic for doing so is GLD NOMINATE [CHARACTER NAME]. Once nominated by two Guildmasters or other eligible rogues, the nominee brings themselves and the nominators to the NPC Guild Master and ASKS them ABOUT GUILDMASTER.

Guildmasters need not pay any dues, however they do need to drop by the guild once a month - if they don't they'll receive a warning after a month, followed by loss of status after three. Also, Guildmasters may collect dues from other members of the guild, promote others, and nominate candidates for Guildmaster status.

In addition, any rogue that trains with a Guildmaster will receive double credit for each repetition completed. For example: If a rogue has 16 repetitions of "sweep a partner" and practices with a Guildmaster, the rogue would only have to complete 8 repetitions (this number is always rounded up on odd number of repetitions) in order to get credit for all 16.

==Locations==
{{Spoiler}}
Rogues tend to be a bit tight-lipped about exactly where their various guilds are located, but gathered information does suggest that there are guilds in the following places:

*[[Rogue Guild (Icemule Trace)]]: Silvermule Gaming Hall, Stout Street
*[[Rogue Guild (Kharam Dzu)]]: Abandoned Warehouse in the Poor Quarter
*[[Rogue Guild (Mist Harbor)]]: Broken Stein Tavern, Crane Lane
*[[Rogue Guild (River's Rest)]]: River's Rest Inn, Targon's Square
*[[Rogue Guild (Solhaven)]]: Solhaven Inn, Abalone and Chiton
*[[Rogue Guild (Ta'Illistim)]]: Royal Arboretum, Glamesine Var
*[[Rogue Guild (Ta'Vaalor)]]: Shed, Gaeld Var
*[[Rogue Guild (Wehnimer's Landing)]]: Beldrin's Game Hall, Dragonsclaw Road
*[[Rogue Guild (Zul Logoth)]]: Brewery, Emerald Tunnel

There is no Rogue Guild in Cysaegir.

'''''Important Note''': The locations of the Rogue Guilds may be considered an in-game secret, and as such, lack of discretion in game or on official forums may have undesirable results, up to and including death and dismemberment. Please use this information intelligently.''

Resist Nature (620)

2022-02-10T07:46:23Z

BURTNETTJ: /* Initial Cast */

''A significant update to this spell went live on 2/8/2022 and revision of this article is actively in progress. For now, please refer to the [[/saved posts |saved posts]] for further information on the updates to Resist Nature (620).
{{work-in-progress}}

{{spell
| name = Resist Nature
| number = 620
| mnemonic = RESISTNATURE
| duration = Variable
| type = Utility
| subtype = Armor Enhancement
| skill = Elemental Resistance
| components = [[NPC]]-made potion
| availability = Cloth & leather armor only
| navigation = {{Ranger base navigation}}
}}
__TOC__
'''Resist Nature''' allows a [[ranger]] to infuse [[armor]] and armor accessories with temporary [[resistance]] to [[Fire critical table|fire]], [[Cold critical table|cold]], [[Steam critical table|steam]], or nature ("nature" resistance protects against Ranger Base spell attacks such as [[Spike Thorn]], as well as [[Sandstorm]]).

The resulting armor will have a Resistance Strength and a Resistance Life, which are determined by a number of factors. Resistance Strength (RS) is defined as the actual amount of resistance provided against criticals of the type infused in the armor. Resistance Life (RL) is defined as the amount of resistance left in the armor.

Resistance Strength is based upon the caster's [[#Lore Benefit|Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] training with a minimum of 20% temporary resistance strength. The full RS benefit from Resist Nature applies for cloth and leather armors, and is halved for chain and plate armors.

{{Equation box|'''{{math|Resistance Strength {{=}} 20 + trunc(Spiritual Lore Blessings Ranks / 2)}}'''

''Reduced to 50% of the normal value when applied to heavy armors (chain and plate).''}}

The RS of the armor does not degrade with use; however, the RL decreases as the armor absorbs damage of the type the resistance is intended to protect against. When the RL is exhausted, the resistance is no longer inherent in the armor.

[[Aura]], [[Discipline]], and [[Wisdom]] stat bonuses all play a part to success, though not equal ones, in this spell. The duration of the resistance, or resistance life, is influenced by [[#Mana Control Benefit|Spiritual Mana Control]] and [[Ranger Base]] ranks.

Armor treated with Resist Nature will seem to have permanent resistance in a [[Bard]] [[loresing|loresong]]. A ranger must be found to [[ASSESS]] the armor to determine how many hits remain as well as who applied the resistance.

Eligible armor cannot be scripted or currently tempered by a wizard for enchanting. This spell has no risk of destroying or harming a piece of armor in any way. Only 5 armors may be treated in any one week.

==Mana Control Benefits==
Training in [[Spiritual Mana Control]] adds to the duration of the applied resistance. It also allows the spell to be cast on damage or crit [[padded]] armor, based on a seed 1 [[summation]] of ranks. It is possible to add resistance to "lightly" padded armor beginning at 1 rank, "very heavily" at 91 ranks, and the lowest level of "masterfully" padded armor at 136 enhanced ranks.

==Process==
:''This has been adapted from [http://home.dejazzd.com/acoustic/Kateerina/NR.html Kateerina's guide] with permission.''
While it is possible to to the initial cast before preparing the potions, and then pour each potion on the prepared armor as it is ready, it is more efficient to prepare all of the potions first.

===Potion Preparation===
The first step is to have all of the the required potions prepared in advance. Each potion will take one hour to finish, and costs 3000 silver each except the a luminescent indigo mushroom potion which costs 25000, payable upon the herbalist's delivery. Only one potion of a given type can be made at a time. For instance, one drakefern and one frostflower potion may be made in a single shack at once, but not two drakefern potions.

'''Take note''': When using a luminescent indigo mushroom potion, there is only a ''5-min duration to complete the cast''. Pour the indigo potion on the armor before casting 620 or pouring the other potions, then follow the below steps (i.e., pour the mushroom potion on the armor, cast 620 at it to ready it for the potions, pour the potions one by one, and then cast 620 again to seal the armor).

The table below lists the various desired resistances, their respective necessary plants, and the location(s) in which each plant can be foraged. External links go to exact locations on Virilneus' Room Data website.

:{| {{prettytable}}

|-
| Heavy Armor ||[[luminescent indigo mushroom]] || Anywhere, random find on high open rolls
|}

Each potion requires five pieces of the designated plant; multiple pours from a number of the single-dosed potions will be necessary to imbue the armor with resistance, depending on its [[armor|armor sub-group]]. Something as light as full leather (ASG 6) only requires three pours, while brigandine armor (ASG 12) requires seven. Heavier armors such as chain and plate require the luminescent indigo mushroom potion, which is crafted from a single a luminescent indigo mushroom and must be poured on the armor before the other potion types.

Once all of the plants have been gathered, they must be processed and refined by a local herbalist, who can be found in weathered shacks in the following locations:

{{top}}

Asking the herbalist about REMOVE will give one the option to buy a potion capable of removing Resist Nature from a piece of armor that already has it.

===Initial Cast===
After the potions have been prepared, cast Resist Nature on the armor that meets the requirements described above. The higher the enchant on a set of armor, the more likely it is to fail. The message received is indicative of eligibility and success.

PREP 620, cast "TYPE OF RESISTANCE HERE" (see the TYPE table under Process for the types of resistance).

Success, ready for the next step:

A white aura surrounds the brigandine armor, pulsing softly in time with each beat of your heart. The armor seems to soften in your hands and you can sense rather than see a change in its organic material, as if thousands of tiny hands have opened and await something to grasp.
Failure, chance (try again):
You gesture at some vultite cuirbouilli leather.
The magic of your spell unravels and dissipates!
</pre>
Failure, armor not in hand (hold it and try again):
<pre{{log2}}>
You gesture at some light leather.
The magic of your spell dissipates before it can reach the light leather.
</pre>
Failure, exceeded five per week limit:
<pre{{log2}}>
You gesture at some cuirbouilli leather.
You strain to cast the spell, but your spirit hasn't yet recovered from your recent channeling of this type of magic. Your spell's energy dissipates.
</pre>
Failure, incompatible (armor is scripted, or being tempered):
<pre{{log2}}>
You gesture at a set of darkly etched Sylvan scalemail.
Your spell's magic cannot permeate the material of the etched Sylvan scalemail.
</pre>
Failure, incompatible (armor does not fall in the proper ASG range):
<pre{{log2}}>
You gesture at some chain mail.
The magic of your spell fizzles against the surface of the chain mail.
</pre>
Failure, armor is already resistant (remove the current resistance before attempting again):
<pre{{log2}}>
You gesture at some leaf-etched dark armor with polished vultite skulls on the shoulders.
The magic of your spell wavers and lashes back at you!
... 1 point of damage!
Your wrist is twisted slightly.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
</pre>
After a successful initial cast, [[ASSESS]]ing the armor should yield a message similar to the following:
<pre{{log2}}>
Careful examination indicates the armor has a base strength of 49 and a base durability of 325. You also determine the current integrity of the armor to be at 100.0%.
You examine the armor closely, lightly running your fingers over the material.
You sense that the armor is imbued with the magic of nature, but the magic is porous and holds no hint as to its purpose. An emptiness permeates the material of the armor.
</pre>
{{top}}

===Potion Application===
{{boldmono|[[POUR]]}} the first potion on the prepared armor and {{boldmono|[[ASSESS]]}} to check progress. Only the original caster can successfully apply a potion. Though the potions do not have to be used immediately, they do expire after about a week's time. Pouring the potion on the armor can result in one of a few outcomes, depending on chance and circumstance.

Success, ready for next pour or sealing cast:
<pre{{log2}}>
You pour the frostflower potion over the leather of the cuirbouilli leather, working it into the material with your hands. After some time, the liquid is completely absorbed by the leather, leaving it feeling a bit more solid than before. You set the empty potion bottle aside.
Roundtime: 17 sec.
</pre>
Failure, chance (try another potion), wrong potion type (use same potion type as previous pour), or the armor is ready for its sealing cast:
<pre{{log2}}>
Your pour your potion onto the brigandine armor. The liquid simply rolls off the surface and falls to the ground as the empty bottle shatters in your hand.
</pre>
Failure, potion has expired (get a fresh potion):
<pre{{log2}}>
As you pour the potion onto the soft black cuirass, the liquid seems very thin and has a pungent odor. It rolls off the surface of the cuirass and onto the ground. The empty bottle shatters in your hand.
</pre>
Failure, incorrect pourer (only the original caster can pour):
<pre{{log2}}>
As you pour the potion onto the light leather, the liquid beads up and appears to be repelled from the surface of the leather. The empty bottle shatters in your hand.
</pre>

Between each pour, it is important to ASSESS the armor to check its progress. In addition to the standard breakage numbers, a general progress of the armor should be determinable. The "holds no hint as to its purpose" should be replaced by one of the following, depending on the resistance type:

:{| {{prettytable}}
|- bgcolor="lightblue"
! Type || Messaging
|-
| Cold || slightest presence of cool air
|-
| Fire || slightest presence of warmth
|-
| Nature || slightest presence of grit
|-
| Steam || slightest presence of warm moisture
|}

Repeat as appropriate until the armor is ready for the final cast.
{{top}}
===Sealing Cast===
If "an emptiness permeates the material of the armor," it requires at least another potion pour. However, if "the aura of magic does not feel complete," the armor is ready for the final sealing cast. At this point, hold it in hand and cast the spell at it one final time. Throughout this process, regardless of success or failure, the armor will not be harmed. However, the caster is susceptible to damage if they prematurely attempt a sealing cast.

Success, process complete:
<pre{{log2}}>
You gesture at some ora brigandine armor.
A white aura surrounds the ora brigandine armor, pulsing softly in time with each beat of your heart. The armor seems to grow more rigid in your hands and you can sense rather than see a change in its organic material. The armor begins to feel as solid as it did before you began this process and soon the aura subsides.
Roundtime: 7 secs.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
</pre>
Failure, chance (try again):
<pre{{log2}}>
You gesture at some shiny blue leather.
The magic of your spell unravels and dissipates!
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
</pre>
Failure, armor not in hand (hold it and try again):
<pre{{log2}}>
You gesture at some light leather.
The magic of your spell dissipates before it can reach the light leather.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
</pre>
Failure, exceeded five per week limit (if working with more than one project at a time):
<pre{{log2}}>
You gesture at some leaf-etched dark armor with polished vultite skulls on the shoulders.
You strain to cast the spell, but your spirit hasn't yet recovered from your recent channeling of this type of magic. Your spell's energy dissipates.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
</pre>
Failure, not enough potions poured (start the entire process over):
<pre{{log2}}>
You gesture at some brass brigandine armor.
A white aura surrounds the brigandine armor, pulsing softly in time with each beat of your heart. Suddenly, the aura wavers and flickers. The material of the armor begins to slowly undulate in your hands as if trying to balance itself somehow. With a sharp crack the aura explodes outward, spraying you with the liquid it once held!
... 45 points of damage!
Right eye evaporates in a burst of flame. Death from shock follows.
</pre>
{{top}}

== Benefits ==

The immediate benefit of successfully completing a project is experience. The final cast yields experience roughly equivalent to a like-level kill (~100).

Resistant armor will protect against damage caused by attacks based upon its attuned element. A partial list of spells and circumstances that are dampened for each type is listed below:

Label

2022-02-08T09:08:32Z

BURTNETTJ: /* Label Boxes */

<table><tr valign="top"><td>Labels premiered at [[Ebon Gate 2012]] in the shop [[EGShop:Sing Me an Epithet|Sing Me an Epitaph]]. The merchants [[Nyck]] and [[Nycolle]] altered, deepened, or unlocked label boxes and labels. They also bring their wagon [[The Label Maker]] to [[Mist Harbor]] as a [[Premium subscription|Premium benefit]].
{{TOC limit|2}}
==Analyze==
{{addmetext}}

==Basic Use==

Labels can be attached to almost any item, replaced, and removed.

===Writing a Label===

One only needs a writing implement (quill/stylus) in one hand and a label in the other hand. Labels will hold 100 characters and append a period at the end if you forget it.

* Using a writing implement, {{boldmono|[[WRITE (verb)|WRITE]] {message}}}. You should not {{boldmono|write label {message}}} or the first word on the label will be "label." If you are writing stats and use the + sign, use a semi-colon before the + if the + is the first character of the label (e.g., "WRITE ;+5 to aura bonus, +5 wisdom bonus, persists").
* Remember to {{boldmono|[[READ (verb)|READ]]}} your label before doing anything else to make sure it says what you want. {{boldmono|[[CLEAN (verb)|CLEAN]]}} label to remove what you've already written if you wish to start over or edit the current message.
* {{boldmono|[[PULL (verb)|PULL]]}} label to remove backing. At this point, you can still {{boldmono|[[CLEAN (verb)|CLEAN]]}} label to remove what you've written and start over.
* {{boldmono|[[PUT (verb)|PUT]] my label on my (item)}} to attach the label to the item.
* {{boldmono|READ my (item)}} to see the label after it is attached.

If you still messed up you can write on a new label and cover up the old one using the same steps.

===Replacing a Label===

If your item already had a label on it, you will see:
<pre{{log2}}>>put my label on my runestaff
The orase runestaff appears to already have a label or writing of some sort. If you'd like to cover it up with your parchment label please try to attach it again within 30 seconds!</pre>

Replacing an old label with a new one causes a permanent loss of the old label; you can not retrieve the old one.

'''Note:''' A question mark as the last character gets replaced by a period, but a question mark in the middle of the text seems to be fine.

===Removing a Label===

One can remove a label from an item using solvent. This is also sold in the label shop.

<pre{{log2}}>>get mau
You remove a perfect vultite maul with black rolton fleece wound about its haft from in your leather cloak.
>rub my solv on my mau
'''The vultite maul appears to have a label or writing of some sort. If you'd like to remove it with your thick solvent please try to rub it on again within 30 seconds!'''
>rub my solv on my mau
Using your fingertips, you liberally apply some solvent to your vultite maul and gently rub away the paper stuck to its surface.</pre>

==Label Boxes==

Label enthusiasts can keep their labels in label boxes. Boxes initially come with space for ten labels and can be deepened in increments of 10 to hold 100. Boxes also exist that hold as many as 200, acquired through raffle or other special merchant means.

Besides being deepened, label boxes can be altered or unlocked. [[Unlocked]] boxes will also automatically unlock any label placed into them. Label boxes can be unlocked once.

An unlocked box provides the additional options to {{boldmono|[[0TILT (verb)|TILT]]}}, {{boldmono|[[TOUCH (verb)|TOUCH]]}}, and {{boldmono|[[KNOCK (verb)|KNOCK]]}} the box. It will also add to all labels pulled from it the option to {{boldmono|[[EAT (verb)|EAT]]}}, {{boldmono|[[SMELL (verb)|SMELL]]}}/{{boldmono|[[SNIFF (verb)|SNIFF]]}}, and {{boldmono|[[TOUCH (verb)|TOUCH]]}} the labels.

Not sure how this was missed, but using PULL BOX will actually release a label from the box so you can use them.

Sanctify (330)

2022-02-08T07:50:05Z

BURTNETTJ: /* Sanctification Process */

{{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

=== Shrine Bonus ===

[[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.

*[[DragonSpine Fane]], Altar Chamber - 26068, 679031 (all 3 obelisk Chambers are also omnishrines)

== 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.

</div>

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

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

Note: [[Enchant | Enchanting]] and Ensorcelling sanctified gear requires an urven'eth potion.

== Sanctification Process ==

{{boldmono|CAST <object>}} will provide an estimate of difficulty. It will also show the number of times the object has been sanctified via this method. Just need a bard to tell you how hard it'll be.

{{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>.

* [[Ensorcell]]: an [[inky black potion]]

Note: [[Enchant | Enchanting]] and Ensorcelling sanctified gear requires an urven'eth potion.

== Sanctification Process ==

{{boldmono|CAST <object>}} will provide an estimate of difficulty. It will also show the number of times the object has been sanctified via this method.

{{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>.

BURTNETTJ: /* Label Boxes */

<table><tr valign="top"><td>Labels premiered at [[Ebon Gate 2012]] in the shop [[EGShop:Sing Me an Epithet|Sing Me an Epitaph]]. The merchants [[Nyck]] and [[Nycolle]] altered, deepened, or unlocked label boxes and labels. They also bring their wagon [[The Label Maker]] to [[Mist Harbor]] as a [[Premium subscription|Premium benefit]].
{{TOC limit|2}}
==Analyze==
{{addmetext}}

==Basic Use==

Labels can be attached to almost any item, replaced, and removed.

===Writing a Label===

One only needs a writing implement (quill/stylus) in one hand and a label in the other hand. Labels will hold 100 characters and append a period at the end if you forget it.

* Using a writing implement, {{boldmono|[[WRITE (verb)|WRITE]] {message}}}. You should not {{boldmono|write label {message}}} or the first word on the label will be "label." If you are writing stats and use the + sign, use a semi-colon before the + if the + is the first character of the label (e.g., "WRITE ;+5 to aura bonus, +5 wisdom bonus, persists").
* Remember to {{boldmono|[[READ (verb)|READ]]}} your label before doing anything else to make sure it says what you want. {{boldmono|[[CLEAN (verb)|CLEAN]]}} label to remove what you've already written if you wish to start over or edit the current message.
* {{boldmono|[[PULL (verb)|PULL]]}} label to remove backing. At this point, you can still {{boldmono|[[CLEAN (verb)|CLEAN]]}} label to remove what you've written and start over.
* {{boldmono|[[PUT (verb)|PUT]] my label on my (item)}} to attach the label to the item.
* {{boldmono|READ my (item)}} to see the label after it is attached.

If you still messed up you can write on a new label and cover up the old one using the same steps.

===Replacing a Label===

If your item already had a label on it, you will see:
<pre{{log2}}>>put my label on my runestaff
The orase runestaff appears to already have a label or writing of some sort. If you'd like to cover it up with your parchment label please try to attach it again within 30 seconds!</pre>

Replacing an old label with a new one causes a permanent loss of the old label; you can not retrieve the old one.

'''Note:''' A question mark as the last character gets replaced by a period, but a question mark in the middle of the text seems to be fine.

===Removing a Label===

One can remove a label from an item using solvent. This is also sold in the label shop.

<pre{{log2}}>>get mau
You remove a perfect vultite maul with black rolton fleece wound about its haft from in your leather cloak.
>rub my solv on my mau
'''The vultite maul appears to have a label or writing of some sort. If you'd like to remove it with your thick solvent please try to rub it on again within 30 seconds!'''
>rub my solv on my mau
Using your fingertips, you liberally apply some solvent to your vultite maul and gently rub away the paper stuck to its surface.</pre>

==Label Boxes==

Label enthusiasts can keep their labels in label boxes. Boxes initially come with space for ten labels and can be deepened in increments of 10 to hold 100. Boxes also exist that hold as many as 200, acquired through raffle or other special merchant means.

Besides being deepened, label boxes can be altered or unlocked. [[Unlocked]] boxes will also automatically unlock any label placed into them. Label boxes can be unlocked once.

An unlocked box provides the additional options to {{boldmono|[[0TILT (verb)|TILT]]}}, {{boldmono|[[TOUCH (verb)|TOUCH]]}}, and {{boldmono|[[KNOCK (verb)|KNOCK]]}} the box. It will also add to all labels pulled from it the option to {{boldmono|[[EAT (verb)|EAT]]}}, {{boldmono|[[SMELL (verb)|SMELL]]}}/{{boldmono|[[SNIFF (verb)|SNIFF]]}}, and {{boldmono|[[TOUCH (verb)|TOUCH]]}} the labels.

Not sure how this was missed, but using PROD BOX will actually release a label from the box so you can use them.

Mystic tattoo

2022-01-06T05:43:09Z

BURTNETTJ: /* Motes of Tranquility */ Pretty sure they meant 50,000, not 500,000 :)

{{TOCright}} '''Mystic tattoos''' are [[tattoo]]s that [[monk]]s create by adding an [[enhancive]] [[statistic]] (not [[skill]]) to an existing [[stock tattoo]] or other non-scripted tattoo. These are called mundane tattoos until they are enhanced. A character may only have one mystic tattoo at a time, and they can range from the first circle (tier 1) to fifth circle (tier 5).

==Overview==
While a mystic tattoo has charges, it provides a {{mono|+1 per circle}} to the target statistic's bonus, or net {{mono|+2 per circle}} to the target statistic's value. For example, a fifth circle [[Logic]] tattoo would provide +10 to the Logic stat and +5 to the Logic bonus. This bonus must adhere to the same limitations of all enhancive bonuses not gained through the [[Ascension Skill System]].

Mystic tattoos have 100 charges when applied, and are fully recharged when upgraded to a higher circle. Monks can also add charges at a cost of 1000 motes per charge. By design, it is expected that monks will have reasonable success at applying tiers in steps of 20 levels, so a 20th level Monk may apply a first circle (tier 1) and a 100th level monk may apply a fifth circle (tier 5).

''Caution:'' A character may only have one mystic tattoo at a time. As transforming a non-scripted tattoo into a mystic tattoo recreates it as a non-crumbly enhancive, the only way to change from one stat enhancive to another is permanently removing the mystic tattoo. Players should thus use caution getting a mystic tattoo applied to a custom (altered) tattoo. If they later want to change the type of stat enhancive they have, they will need to remove the custom tattoo to create a new one.

==Motes of Tranquility==

Converting a mundane tattoo to a mystic tattoo requires the performing monk to have gathered ''motes of tranquility'' through absorbing experience either via an experience pulse or via offline experience absorption, in a manner similar to [[wizard]]s with [[Enchant (925)]], or [[sorcerer]]s with [[Ensorcell (735)]]. Experience absorption modifiers such as [[Gift of Lumnis]] or [[roleplaying award]]s apply, but instant experience absorption such as {{boldmono|[[BOOST]] ABSORB}} or [[Rings of Lumnis]] do not. There is a weekly limit of 50,000 motes, and an overall pool cap of having 200,000 available at a time.

Each tier of the mystic tattoo requires a greater number of motes to apply, starting at 50,000 for tier 1 and increasing by 25,000 at each successive tier, or {{mono|25000 x (1+TargetTier)}} cost in motes. Thus, to go from a mundane tattoo to a Mystic Tattoo of the fifth circle requires 10 weeks of capped Motes of Tranquility. Current Motes of Tranquility are displayed using {{boldmono|TATTOO}} (in character description) or {{boldmono|[[RESOURCE]]}} (numerical readout).

{{#section:RESOURCE (verb)|monk}}

==Process==
Both a needle and ink are required to be in-hand, and are available for purchase from the [[:Category:Alchemist_Shops|town alchemist]]. Ink may be combined via {{boldmono|[[POUR]]}}, to a limit of 10 doses. The needle must be in the right hand when used. Each tier requires a corresponding number of doses of ink, so the circle 5 application will need 5 doses of ink.

Note that the target mundane tattoo being worked on requires that it be:
* visible on whatever body part it lies. For example, converting a tattoo on the chest will require that the target remove any armor, since that covers the chest.
* referred to by noun. Most will be "tattoo", but some will not: #846 would be "blossom", and #856 would be "marks".

Applying the tattoo requires the use of the {{boldmono|TATTOO}} verb.

{{#section:TATTOO (verb)|TATTOO (verb)}}

Applying the mystic tattoo uses a two-step confirmation process, and expected chance of success is shown, so the performing monk can choose not to make the attempt if there is a high risk of losing motes to failure.

<pre{{log2}}>>tattoo mystic (character) wisdom tattoo
You consider imbuing the essence of wisdom into (tattoo) on (character), which is currently just a mundane tattoo. You estimate that you can only fail if you are horribly unlucky.
To offer to tattoo (character), enter the same command again in the next minute.

>tattoo mystic (character) wisdom tattoo
You hold up a polished blue and silver needle and a wide-mouthed jar of tattoo ink in an offer to imbue the essence of wisdom into (Character’s) (tattoo). (She/he) will need to TATTOO ACCEPT in the next minute.
>
(Character) has accepted your offer of a mystic tattoo and awaits your tranquil hand. Just retype your last TATTOO MYSTIC command in the next minute.
>
>tattoo mystic (character) wisdom tattoo
You make a good attempt!

Success! You work the ink into (Character’s) (tattoo), concentrating on establishing a faint link with (his/her) mind as you invoke the tranquil core of your soul to instill (his/her) body with the pure essence of wisdom!
That was the last drop of ink.
A wide-mouthed jar of tattoo ink suddenly shatters, leaving nothing behind.
Roundtime: 20 sec.</pre>

A successful application requires the following calculation to be made:

{{Equation box|'''Monk Level + 2*[[Dexterity|DEX bonus]] + 2*[[Discipline|DIS bonus]] + [[Physical Fitness]] ranks*3/4 + [[First Aid]] ranks/2 + 2*spell ranks + [[Arcane Symbols]] ranks + [[Mental Mana Control]]/[[Spirit Mana Control]] ranks + [[Lore]] skill bonus - 100 * (circle of tattoo) + d100 > 100'''}}

''Note:'' When tattooing the self, [[Mental Lore, Transformation]] is used in the calculation. When tattooing others, the monk will use their [[Mental Lore, Telepathy]]. The circle of the mystic tattoo, injuries, and low spirit apply penalties to the skill check. The Gift of Eonak crafting roll applies to these checks.

==Additional Information==

{{boldmono|TATTOO STATS}} will show the performing Monk's number of mundane tattoos applied, and the sum total of Motes spent in successful uses (either application of new Mystic tiers or additional charges added to existing Mystic tattoos). Motes lost through unsuccessful tier applications are not tracked.

Chronomage Teleportation System

2022-01-04T11:08:12Z

BURTNETTJ: /* Chronomage Office Locations */

{{TOCright}}
The '''Chronomage Teleportation System''' is a system that allows characters to easily travel between the major [[town]]s without the hazards and time involved with travelling the distance by foot. The Chronomages will transport all individuals holding a Chronomage orb in their right hand in the transport waiting room to their destinations every 20 minutes for a flat fee of 100,000 silvers. Travel times during each hour are at :00, :20, and :40. Tickets are sold by a NPC in each town's Chronomage office. You can reduce the cost of tickets by giving the NPC gold rings. For local travel between two towns within the same zones, a [[#Chronomage Day Pass|day pass]] may be purchased for 5,000 silvers for unlimited travel between the two towns for 24 hours. '''Chronomage orbs''' can also be earned via [[Login Rewards]] or purchased through the [[SimuCoin]]s Store. A player can [[GAZE]] at an orb to determine its destination, [[READ]] the orb to determine the next departure time, and [[LOOK]] at the orb to determine if you are in a transport waiting room (the orb will emit a faint golden glow).

== Chronomage Office Locations ==

'''Zone 1:'''
*[[Wehnimer's Landing]]: Town Square Southwest, in the basement of the Travel Office (one north from the clerk) (Lich Room# 8635)
*[[Solhaven]]: Beacon Tower on Beacon Ring (up the ramp) (Lich Room# 14358)
*[[Icemule Trace]]: on Wraith Road in the Magical Burrow at the Loci Workshop (Lich Room 8916)
*[[River's Rest]]: (Lich Room# 16115)

'''Zone 2:'''

*[[River's Rest]]: down the tracks near the log outside of the town. The waiting room is through the bore on the stump. (Lich Room# 16115)
*[[Zul Logoth]]: building near the Bard's Guild (Lich Room 997)

==Chronomage Day Pass==
A '''Chronomage day pass''' costs 5,000 silvers and allows a character to travel unlimited between two towns within the same teleportation zone for 24 hours.

;Example (Wehnimer's Landing to Icemule Trace)
<pre{{log2}}>
Weyneidra the clerk says to you, "A roundtrip day pass to Icemule Trace will cost you 5000 silvers. ASK me again in the next minute if you wish to purchase it."

Weyneidra the clerk accepts your silvers.
Weyneidra the clerk quickly hands you a Chronomage day pass.

Bold calligraphy states simply, "This pass entitles the original purchaser to one (1) day of unlimited travel between the towns of Icemule Trace and Wehnimer's Landing, commencing at the time of purchase. To travel, present yourself at the Chronomage station in either town, hold this pass in hand, and RAISE it."

>'''ask halfling about chronomage'''
A finely-dressed halfling peers at you and asks, "What about the Chronomages? I've never met one myself, but I hear they aren't to be trifled with. They're the ones who anchored the magic that these tickets use."

>'''ask halfling about destinations'''
A finely-dressed halfling says, "I currently sell travel tickets to Wehnimer's Landing, Solhaven, River's Rest, Zul Logoth, Ta'Illistim, Ta'Vaalor, Cysaegir, Kharam-Dzu and Icemule Trace."

>'''ask clerk about <specific town name>'''
Weyneidra the clerk says to you, "A roundtrip day pass to <named town> will be <"free of charge", if you have gold ring credits>. ASK me again in the next minute if you wish to claim it."

>'''ask halfling about disabled'''
A finely-dressed halfling looks overhead thoughtfully, then turns to you and says, "I've been told that all travel is working properly."

>'''ask halfling about gold ring'''
With a wide grin, a finely-dressed halfling turns to you and says, "I am quite interested in gold rings. I'm even willing to discount the price of a travel ticket or pass by 5000 silvers for each ring you give me. You currently have no credits towards the purchase of a travel ticket."

>'''ask halfling about help'''
A finely-dressed halfling turns to you and says, "My job is to sell you a ticket. With one of my tickets you can travel about Elanthia via the magic of the Chronomages. Ask me about a certain location if you wish to know more about it, or you can ASK me about destinations and I will tell you more details about where you can travel. You can also ask me about disabled locations, gold rings, departures, times and tickets."

>'''ask halfling about price'''
A finely-dressed halfling grins and says, "Tickets for a single long distance teleport are priced at 100000 silvers. Local citizens will receive a ten percent discount. Partial citizens will receive a five percent discount."

A finely-dressed halfling continues, "Day passes for linked teleport destinations are priced at 5000 silvers. There are no citizenship discounts for these."

>'''ask halfling about ticket'''
A finely-dressed halfling clearly says, "The way a long-distance travel ticket works is simple. Hold it in your hand inside the waiting room and when it is time you will be transported to your destination. If you are unsure whether you are in a waiting room, look at your ticket. It will glow if you are in the correct place. You cannot travel with a ticket purchased by another. Also, there are times when travel to certain locations will become unstable and will not work. You can read your ticket to check when the next transport will take place and you can gaze at your ticket to check its destination."

A finely-dressed halfling continues, "Day passes can be used at will. Simply hold the pass inside the waiting room and then RAISE it when you are ready to travel."

>'''ask halfling about time'''
A finely-dressed halfling takes a moment to think before saying, "The next distant departure will be in # minutes, and I can sell you a travel ticket right now if you like."

>'''ask halfling about departure'''
A finely-dressed halfling pauses for a moment before he says, "The next distant departure will be in # minutes."
</pre>

==Behind the Scenes==
The Chronomages replaced the [[ICE age|I.C.E. Age]] guilds called [[Navigators|The Navigators]], which is why gold ring robberies are called getting "Navved." The messaging is still more consistent with the archaic history.

The Chronomages replaced the [[ICE age|I.C.E. Age]] guilds called [[Navigators|The Navigators]], which is why gold ring robberies are called getting "Navved." The messaging is still more consistent with the archaic history.

Necrotic ring

2021-10-25T06:57:19Z

BURTNETTJ: Just adding info from the official boards that was post in the past few days.

__NoTOC__
<table><tr valign="top"><td>
The necrotic ring is '''a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards'''. It was released at [[Ebon Gate 2019]], as a prize from the Arena of the Abyss. The ring is charged by defeating undead in the Arena and may randomly reanimate slain foe throughout the year, if charges remain. The number of charges can be determined through [[Loresinging|loresinging]]. Additional features were added at [[Ebon Gate 2020]], including the ability to spawn undead [[boss creatures]] and another to provide a chance for the ring owner to receive a boost to their attacks and defenses for a limited time.

You can add charges (1 per 50 seashells) if you ask the demon at the Arena entrance.
==Analyze==
<pre{{log2}}>
You analyze your smooth bone ring and sense that the item cannot be altered in any way.

The creator has also provided the following information:

The smooth bone ring is a prize from the Arena of the Abyss (Ebon Gate event at Caligos Isle). When worn, it has a chance to summon an undead creature from a recently slain creature.

Attuned: XXXX
Charges: 2403 (OFF, PROD to toggle)
Lich's Curse: 5% (ON, TAP to toggle)
Voln's Blessing: 0%
Appearance: OFF (COVER to toggle)
Unstable Manifestation: bracelet (TURN to toggle)

Lich's Curse is a % chance for the undead the ring spawns to be a boss creature. Voln's Blessing is a % chance for the ring owner to receive +15 AS/DS and +10 CS/TD for 30 seconds when they kill the undead the ring spawned.

The ring cannot be altered in any way!

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

==Show==
<pre{{log2}}>Across the surface of the ring, spots of ochre and brown stains radiate from tiny crystalline structures embedded in the bone. Ichor green motes and shadows lurk within the crystals, living inclusions that alternately lighten and darken the calcification along the ring's edges. A faint pulse, deep and bone-jarring, accompanies the flickering, beating like a necrotic heart.

|-
|Eclipsing your mind's eye with shadows and the faint flicker of burning candles, the history of a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards comes to you slowly. Vague outlines in the murk solidify into drawn chalk designs upon a smooth stone floor, the arcane twists and curves illuminated by thirteen fitfully burning votives. Steady and rhythmic, the repeated words of a chant punctuate the air, though their meaning and the source is unclear. Gradually, a sanguine ribbon of light rises out of the haze of candlelight and takes its time expanding. It grows in size and shape to form a hazy portal and, at the moment of its completion, a demonic being steps forth from its depths. Screeching into the cold stone of the summoning chamber, the grotesque monstrosity begins to move, but the vision grows fuzzy and fades away.
|The smooth bone ring seems to respond to the magic of XXX's song.
|-
|As if waking from a nearly forgotten dream, the cold ring in your hand begins to vibrate, and instantly a vision forms within your mind. Chaos reigns supreme in an enclosed chamber as a demonic being bashes at the arcane bindings of the summoning circle that traps it in place. Robed figures rush forward to redraw chalk lines, while others raise their hands and begin to chant in an effort to fortify the bindings. Two figures are untouched by the turmoil around them, their eyes locked across the distance that separates them. Framed in the haze of the portal, an ophidian-eyed woman plunges her spear into the heart of the demonic beast, a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards flashing on her hand in the candlelight. Beyond, amid the tumultuous activities of his followers, a violet-eyed man watches. Without breaking eye contact, she steps back into the portal and with a wave of her hand, closes it. The chamber and your mind's eye are thrown into darkness.

|-
|As your voice touches upon a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards, a vision unfolds within your mind's eye. A tortured landscape of shifting sands stretches before you, while above, the burned atmosphere is rife with sanguine light and a thin blanket of grey, tumbling clouds. Enormous bones, the remains of some forgotten beast, create shadows ahead, their edges shimmering from the heat and arid climate. Confidence, hunger, and a fierce determination fill you as you prowl toward the shadows with purposeful intent. You stop upon the edge of the pooling darkness, your eyes scanning its depth, and with a sudden, blindingly fast movement, you stab with your spear into the darkness. Writhing in agony, a serpentine beast formed of tentacles, mist, and talons falls to the ground at your feet. Before its death throes can finish, you place your hand upon its muck-covered chest and intone a few short words. A smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards that rests on your finger ripples with necrotic energy and draws the last visages of life out of the demon beneath your touch. As the light fades from the orbs of its many eyes, you see your own ophidian-like eyes reflected in their depths. Like the snuffing of a candle, the vision disappears.

|-
|A vision unfolds within your mind's eye as your voice touches upon a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards. The arid air fills your mouth with the taste of dust and salt as you sit perched in the sand upon the half-buried skull of some enormous, forgotten beast. You pull the tentacle off a dead demon at your feet and bring it to your lips, the inky blood nourishing you for the moment. As you feast, your gaze falls upon five mirrors resting upon the ground. Though they face the sky, the reflection in each is not that of a bruised, angry red sky, but instead of a man with violet eyes. You begin to realize that you are watching him at various times, though you are unable to determine their relation to your own time. In one image, he obsessively combs through texts for some obscure piece of knowledge, and in another, he commissions a ship, while in a third, he stands over a map of an ocean while conferring with scraps of parchment. In each, you notice a rough sketch yourself and come to realize he is searching for you. Slowly, the vision fades.

|-
|As the song of a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards entwines with your own, a vision blossoms within your mind's eye. You find yourself seated, your elbows propped upon your knees, and your eyes focused upon mirrors laying in the dark sand. Twilight begins to darken the sanguine sky as you watch a violet-eyed man draw the lines of a summoning circle upon the deck of a ship. You feel a small smile creep across your face, the sensation of it almost as alien as the land in which you find yourself. You wave your hand over the small mirrors, their centers immediately darkening to black, and gaze over your shoulder. An army of skeletons in tattered robes, some humanoid, some not, stands motionless under your gaze. Running your thumb against the underside of a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards on your finger, they suddenly lurch into motion and begin to march as your vision fades.
|The smooth bone ring seems to respond to the magic of XXX's song.
|-
|Anticipation seeps from a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards in your hand as your voice touches upon it, and soon your mind's eye is filled with the vision of a tortured landscape beneath a hazy, sanguine sky. A ripple appears in the air before you, its edges widening with every breath you take of acrid air. Thunder, not born of the world you stand in, fills the air with its ominous warning just as the ripple abruptly expands to create a portal that leads to the deck of a ship at sea. Flicking your fingers, a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards resting against the bony appendage, you order an army of skeletons through and watch as they collide with arcane magics of a summoning circle. The magical resistance that they face is short-lived, and between one heartbeat and the next, they shred the barrier and swarm the crew. Waiting for you, a violet-eyed man stands at the forecastle, and as you move to cross the distance that separates you, a blinding flash of lightning explodes the floorboards. Water, salty and bitter, rushes against your dry skin, and with but a blink, you find that the vision has evaporated.

|-
|As your voice touches upon a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards, a high-pitched ringing sound fills your ears, the noise effectively muting all other sounds. Your lungs begin to burn with the need for air, but before you risk taking a breath, you open your eyes and are immediately greeted with the sting of saltwater. Above your position within the water, moonlight illuminates the shattered remains of a boat, its possessions, and the lifeless forms of the two armies that battled on its decks as they plummet towards you and the bottom of the ocean. In a state of panic, you splay your fingers wide, a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards on your finger flashing in the silvery light, and begin to draw energy from the dead as they pass you. Ethereal spirits rise out of the corpses and surge towards you, their tortured screams lost in the water. Your ring pulses with an energy that eases the burning in your lungs as it absorbs each one. You swim towards the surface with frantic movements, your attention split between capturing souls and maneuvering through the debris that sinks past you. A lancing pain nearly blinds you as a dark shape moves through the water by your left side, and its teeth are the last thing you see before your vision darkens.

Council of Light

2021-09-29T20:25:53Z

BURTNETTJ: /* The Taskmaster */

{{Spoiler}}
{{Council of Light navigation}}
__NOTOC__The '''Council of Light''' is a secret society within [[Elanthia]] that characters may join. It has two known chapters in Elanthia; one in [[Solhaven]], the other in [[Ta'Vaalor]]. Prior to the existence of these two chapters, there was one chapter located in [[Wehnimer's Landing]] - it no longer exists. It was originally a front for a group of evil servants of the [[Unlife]]. In theory this would be a branch of [[The Iron Wind]], but if so it was an inch deep. Following the end of the [[ICE age|I.C.E. Age]] it has no well-established backstory.

<blockquote>
"The Council of Light? Uncle CoL? Many whisperings are heard about this society, if in fact it is even a society at all. Accounts continuously arise from people who've encountered everything from overheard code words to tales of strange encounters with its members.

It's said to be a secret society, and little is known about this possible non-existent entity. Incautious adventurers who ask too many questions are said to be "taken care of" permanently. While obviously nonsense, it still should be stated that the reports of such events often arise.

Lately, in fact, rumors have abounded about strongarm tactics and open displays of aggression. Of course, these are all rumors. In fact, I shouldn't be spreading them. It's all ficticious. Of course there's no CoL. Forget what I just said. I was joking about the whole thing. Heh heh, erm...heh."

-- Lord Grindoll Hevucita
</blockquote>

== Joining the Council ==
=== Solhaven ===
(Lich ID: 4593)
*The character must first seek out the [[Haggard Matron]] NPC in order to obtain an invite to the council. The character will receive this invite if he or she simply stands around the haggard matron long enough, as it is one of its randomized actions.
*The character must go to Kraken Manor and solve the puzzle therein in order to gain access to the Manor.
*The character must find the Grand Poohbah in the Manor. After the Poohbah gives the character a brief chat, the character must recite, "I will not betray the council."

=== Ta'Vaalor ===
(Lich ID: 23561)
*The character must first seek out a ragged old blind man and stand around him for the invite just like the haggard matron.
*The character must then enter the catacombs and find a niche, go inside, and solve the puzzle therein.
*The character must then seek out the Poohbah and recite before him, "I will not betray the council." just as in Solhaven.

'''Note:''' The ragged old blind man is not at all careful about who he invites to join the Council. He will invite active Volners to join the Council if they remain in the same room with him for a few minutes.

== Obtaining ranks ==
There are four NPCs that the character must interact with in order to gain ranks: The Master of Gifts, the Master of Service, the Inquisitor, and the Taskmaster.

=== The Master of Services ===
The Master of Services randomly assigns the character a skinning task. The character must obtain a certain amount of skins and OFFER them individually to the Master. The character need not skin the creatures himself.

A list of animal skins can be found [[List of skins|here]].

=== The Master of Gifts ===
The Master of Gifts tasks the character to bring certain items to him, which are usually able to be purchased from a nearby shop. To offer an item to the master, one must place it on the altar first and then use the OFFER verb.

=== The Inquisitor ===
The Inquisitor simply asks the character a question, which the character must ANSWER. The character need not answer immediately, but may research the subject before giving the answer. Failure to answer correctly will delay the character's acquisition of a new sign. The question will remain until the character finds the answer.

(Note: Do not ANSWER [SOLUTION] and add a period at the end, as you might for dialogue. The period will confuse the Inquisitor and he will think that the answer is wrong, even if it is correct.)

A list of CoL Inquisitor answers may be found [[Council of Light Answers|here]].

=== The Taskmaster ===
The taskmaster, after all the tasks are completed, will then give the character a new sign after a certain time period has elapsed. This time period increases should the character incorrectly answer a question by the inquisitor. The time counts down as soon as a new sign is obtained.

Note that this time is ingame time, so you can't log out and bypass it. You have to stay ingame to pass the time.

== Demotion ==
A character in the Council of Light may be demoted for one of two reasons.
*The character is taking too long to gain his next rank, angering the Poohbah. He will receive a warning before this occurs.
*The character breaks his oath of silence not to reveal any of the society's secrets, angering the [[dark assassin]]. This usually results in a demotion of five ranks and death.

Note that the various durations listed here are for members who have mastered the Council; non-masters will find shorter durations which increase with rank. There also appears to be a slight randomization of a few seconds for the durations which are rank/level based (that is, signs will not always fall in the order they were invoked).

== Breaking the Oath ==
Should the character's oath to the council be broken, the character will be penalized.

=== Obvious Spirit Drain ===
If a character drains spirit resulting in their spirit being half or less of their total spirit (rounded down), the effect will be noticed by anyone present. If such spirit drain occurs and there are non-Council members present, the Council member will be stripped of his or her powers for a period of time determined by the Poohbah. If the character is [[Stalking and Hiding|hidden]] or [[Invisibility (916)|invisible]], this will prevent anyone present from observing the spirit drain. However, one must be cautious, because non-Council members who are present and hidden or invisible can still observe the spirit drain.

====Examples of Obvious Spirit Drain====
*When Sign of Swords, Sign of Shields, or Sign of Dissipation wear off, for each case, the member must have half their total spirit (rounded up) plus two spirit in order not to have obvious spirit drain. Thus a character with 10 total spirit must have at least 7 spirit when one of these signs dissipates, so that they will go to no less than 6 spirit. If they go to 5 or less spirit, it will be obvious. Thus such a character who may expect to encounter a non-member should be wary of putting up these signs when their spirit is 6 or less, unless they are assured to regenerate more spirit before the sign wears off. For a character with 9 total spirit, they must have no less than 6 spirit, so that they do not go to 4 spirit.

*Sign of Possession used by any member with total spirit 8 or less. For instance, initially at full spirit, using this sign will drop the character to 4 out of 8 spirit, which is less than or equal to the character's total spirit.

*Sign of Wracking when used by any member without any [[enhancive|enhancive item]] because their maximum spirit will be 10. However, a character with an [[aura]] stat enhancive item to push their total aura to greater than 105 could use Wracking without obvious spirit drain. For example, a character with 11 total spirit could drop to 6/11 spirit, which is not less than or equal to half that character's total.

=== Sign of Darkness ===
Sign of Darkness will always reveal too much if it is used in the presence of non-Council members, even if the Council member is hidden or invisible. This is because the teleportation vortex is always visible and can be seen. Thus it is unrelated to spirit drain, because the spirit is drained after the teleportation effect (which by design transports the Council member to a vacant location).

=== Talking about the Council ===
Should the character speak about the Council or its secrets with non-Council members, the character is subject to be killed by the dark assassin, demotion, and in some cases, expulsion.

===Leaving the Council ===
Approach the Grand Poohbah, and say, "I resign from the Society". You will then be cast out! 
You will then be teleported to The Justicar's Temple, with two exits: A small door, and a shining portal. The door will lead to a battle with the image of yourself, the portal will leave the area, and you will remain within the society. 
In the room with yourself, you must KNEEL and PRAY to release the society's grip on you.

BURTNETTJ: I won't post an update, but since custom titles are apparently a thing... you can ORDER the pliable figurine just outside the Lobby. Ya'll use it for what you want. Cheers.

'''Shear Delight''' is the beauty salon on [[Mist Harbor]] which also acts as a sort of [[Feature Pavilion|New Look Pavilion]] for [[Premium]] subscribers only. The front of the shop sells make up and accessories while the features are available down the hallway. The shop underwent a major renovation in 2014.

:''Dense, unremittingly dark chocolate flavors fill your mouth.

:''The chocolate is smooth and creamy, without any trace of bitterness.
:''As the chocolate melts in your mouth, its sweet lushness coats your tongue in a swirl of soft chocolate flavor.

<div {{log}}>Smiling brightly, the dowdy receptionist steps forward and greets several arriving patrons.

The dowdy receptionist flips through some informational pamphlets on hair care, while absentmindedly fluffing her dreary locks.

The dowdy receptionist paces the length of the room, gazing every so often at the door as if waiting for someone important.

The dowdy receptionist smiles at you, her blue eyes peering at you curiously from behind her gold-rimmed spectacles.

The receptionist peers at several passing patrons over the top of her gold-rimmed spectacles.

With a yawn, the dowdy receptionist leans against the oak podium and twirls a strand of her long red hair around her finger.</div>

River's Rest

2021-07-25T05:17:05Z

BURTNETTJ: /* Travel to River's Rest */

[[File:Riversrest_map2.jpg|thumb|right|River's Rest]]
'''River's Rest''' is a small town near the mouth of the [[Tempest River]] on [[Maelstrom Bay]]. It is a part of the [[Turamzzyrian Empire]] and the [[Torre|County of Torre]]. Due to the town's size and relative isolation, it is generally ignored by both county and imperial authorities. As such, River's Rest is considered a safe haven for those wishing to avoid the law. Its isolation also results in a small but tightly-knit player community.

==History of River's Rest==

River's Rest, while a small town today, is heir to a long rich tradition of history. The founding date of the town is unknown, but the town is believed to have received its name from a corruption of the trollish name for the island, "rhee v'reskha" which means turtle's egg. The island town was one of several towns that came to compose the [[Kingdom of Elanith]] which later was absorbed by the [[Kannalan Empire]]. Within the empire, River's Rest flourished due to its location at the mouth of the Tempest River, which at the time facilitated trade deep into the interior of the continent. In time, River's Rest became the cultural center of the empire, renown for its architecture, most notably, four great bridges which extended to the shores of the river, as well as an epicenter for the spread of poets, artisans, and intellectuals. The collapse of the Kannalan Empire in 3961 dramatically altered River's Rest fate.

The empire was over run by humanoids and River's Rest soon became one of the last bastions of resistance. The chief reason for this was the proximity of [[The Citadel]], a fortress responsible for defending the region. The Citadel, originally ruled by a traditionally nameless "Commander," came under the control the [[Council of Mages]], who became implicated in the murder of the Citadel's Commander. Their rule ended in 4058 with the invasion of a combined force of Krolvin and Trolls which wiped out the town and the defenders of the Citadel. The town was slow to recover, but did so under the banner of trade, both legal and illegal.

===The Kingdom of Torre and the Grand Era of Piracy===
The town again began to prosper and was incorporated into the [[Kingdom of Torre]]. In the 43rd century, River's Rest experienced what has become known as the "Grand Era of Piracy," which lasted from 4275 to 4325. Famed pirates included [[Ketain of the Scars]], whom has a statue erected in the town and is buried there, as well as [[Oteska the Corsair]], [[Bloody Malovor]], and [[DeGaspard]]. In the 45th century, the Kingdom of Torre was annexed into the Turamzzyrian Empire and became the County of Torre. River's Rest was included in this transfer and soon became the recipient of an Imperial settlement plan to populate the trade town with more honest citizens. The measure was somewhat successful, but the rogue population remained regardless and were commonly referred to with a title they took on with pride as "[[River Rat|River Rats]]."

River's Rest role as a trade town came to an end in 5018 with a great cataclysm which shook the earth and drastically affected the town. Most of the town's buildings were either leveled or consumed in fire and more dramatically, the quake forced the ground east of town upwards of thirty feet. In one day, the [[Tempest Falls]] were created and river trade down the Tempest to River's Rest was destroyed.

===Recent History===
In recent history, the year 5103 stands out as a year marked by violence and change that was marked by a blue comet in the night time sky. Seen by trolls as a divine sign, they began a migration to a holy land called [[G'bruk]] and departed entirely from the region around River's Rest. This was not done without battle, as the trolls chose to take an emigration route through the town which led to an inescapable conflict between trolls and town defenders. The second and worse event concerned the invasion and occupation of the town by the Krolvin under the command of [[Sankir the Bloodfist]]. Sankir, a former second in command to a failed invasion of [[Teras Isle]], controlled the town for several months before departing to expand his enterprise of conquest. In his wake, a lieutenant and [[Bloodmaster]], known as [[Khortal]], was killed by [[Half-krolvin|Half-Krolvins]] who had come to avenge their people's torture and subjugation under Sankir. They were named [[Airn]] and [[Colgan]]. Soon after, the occupying Krolvin force dispersed for lack of leadership, stalwart resistance of the oppressed, and request by Airn.

Prior to 5103, the worst Krolvin attack in recent time had been the 5101 raid by Krolvin slavers and corsairs, which resulted in the destruction of a magical transportation portal.

In late 5107, violence erupted again marked by smuggler, [[Casler Huntington]]'s return to River's Rest sparking a new round in the [[Smuggling Wars]].

In early 5112, a madman named [[Hralth]] arrived in River's Rest just ahead of a massive felstrom. It is eventually discovered that a gnome named [[Grevisth]] is responsible for the felstrom's appearance in the Rest and is fueling its strength with the aid of spheres containing undead. Making his headquarters in the [[Citadel]] while terrorizing the folk of River's rest, Grevisth is eventually run out of town by [[Starchitin Elfpeer|Starchitin]]'s [[Gnomish Limericks|limericks]] after several battles in which the [[Order of Voln]] assisted both directly and indirectly. The felstrom is later destroyed with the help of Hralth, [[Magister Remuliad]], and [[Niima]]. During this period, The Order of Voln also expanded its presence in River's Rest, making it easier for locals who are members of the Order to advance through steps.

====Other Lore, Stories, and Songs====

There are many assorted [[River Rat lore, legend, and song|stories, legends, and songs]] that have happened in and around River's Rest over the years. While not as epic and history-making as the [[Krolvin Occupation]] or [[Smuggling Wars]], they have defined (and amused) the small community and deserve to be remembered.

==Travel to River's Rest==

Originally, River's Rest was accessible via a magical portal adjacent to [[Wehnimer's Landing]] created by the necromancer [[Syssanis]]. The portal, activated by dropping a [[crystal amulet]] into it, was accessible on the Wehnimer's Landing end by a large magical boot in the vicinity of a [[kobold]] village and an old fishing vessel. The River's Rest end of the portal was located at a magical log. The portal was destroyed in a 5101 attack by [[Krolvin]], when the invaders blew up the log. Soon after, smugglers stepped in to fill the travel vacuum that was left in the smoldering remains of the log. The chief smuggler in this business is Captain [[Knaydl]] of the cutter [[Live Bait]]. Travel by cutter is never a sure trip, as the Imperial Navy will successfully interdict the smuggler's route from time to time, forcing the smugglers to dump any evidence of their trade. In 5106, the smugglers expanded business to hiding travellers and other contraband inside barrels to completely fool Imperial inspectors. However, they charge a premium on top of passage for the opportunity--this cost is variable, and seems to depend on level (a sample level-29 character had a fee of 11200 silvers). In 5107 the chronomages set up shop in the same place the only log was located. They also charge a premium fee. The boot and log returned in April of 2018 (If you're using Lich's GO2 utility to get there, you'll find the boot at 6274. If you're leaving, you'll find the log at 11032.)

==Town Geography==

The town of River's Rest is known well for several businesses, as well as notable buildings and institutions. Perhaps most iconic is the [[Stone Eye]], a massive rock construction at the north end of the island. A multi-storied building, the Stone Eye is the sole location of the famed [[Winterberry Ale]] and a bar operated by a [[mongrel kobold]] named [[Byron]]. On the cliffs above the town sits the light house and home of the [[Beacon Hall Archives]], an institution dedicated to the preservation of history and serving the needs of the town. Another institution dedicated to the preservation of local history, the [[River's Rest Museum]] is located near the [[Pavilion of the Bells]], one of several popular spots for town weddings.

Around town, an ever present and loved symbol of River's Rest is [[a one-eared rabbit|Fluffy]], a one-eared rabbit who lives in the town and is often seen nibbling on pieces of grass. Another familiar creature seen around town is [[Snuffy]] the aardvark.

A favorite resting spot for many town citizens is the town [[River's Rest, Town Commons|Commons]], a grassy commons area shaded by a great willow tree. Another special place within the town is the point at the northern end of the island, near the Stone Eye. It is a quiet beautiful place, haunted by the ghosts of two tragic lovers, [[Estamil and Tandrik]]. Finally, there is the [[River's Rest, Sanctuary]], located to the west of the Commons, which was formerly the preferred resting spot for healers and is currently the main triage location during town emergencies.

In 5107 the [[River's Rest Graveyard]] opened up to the west of the drawbridge outside of town.

''For a list of town adventurers, see [[:Category:River's Rest Player Characters|River's Rest PCs]]''

==Town Traditions==

Due to its isolation, River's Rest has developed several traditions unique to itself. The longest running tradition is the fast breaking or breakfast on Restday morning, usually in a tree house in the Commons or in the Commons itself. Winterberry Ale is the unofficial (official if you ask [[Aubrey De'Longfellow|Aubery]] or Kretan) drink of the town. Many of the citizens almost always carry a green tourmaline on their person for Estamil and Tandrik. Despite its shadier reputation, River's Rest has a strong tradition of restricting the presence of theft within the town.

==Religious Traditions==
The denizens of the Rest are hugely varied and follow a diverse set of beliefs. A few spirits and Arkati, however, have a larger presence in the town than others. The lesser spirit, [[Aeia]], is the patron goddess of the island. There are a number of shrines, gardens, and statuary dedicated to her. [[Niima]] and [[the Huntress]], both have shrines in the area.

==Town Activities==

Like any other small town, the locals must be inventive to keep themselves occupied during the slow periods. Add in the unconventional, some would say insane, mindset of many of the residents of River's Rest and many interesting, often deadly, ways to pass the time are created. Some of the more notable activities include [[Gem of Fate]], [[Dodge the Void]], [[Bridge Jumping]], [[Ring of Fire]], [[Turban of Death]], use of the [[Flinger]], and the sensation of [[The Warren]]'s [[Dock Diving]]. Be forewarned, participating in these activities will most likely result in being severely maimed or killed.

|-
| colspan=2 style="border-top: none; font-size: smaller;" | The shore immediately south of the town River's Rest offers both culture and danger for the brave traveler. The Tempest Falls, a natural waterfall that rose from the river during the last century, provides a focal point for several places of interest. The Gladberry Farms Winery lies to the south, while the society of Voln has provided a way station for the local followers closer to the waterfall. Some professional guilds have made their homes here, and a visitor to the local olive grove can see the remains of one of the Rest's great bridges. Farther west, an exposed bluff rewards visitors with a breathtaking view of Maelstrom Bay. Peaceful activities must be carried out with caution, however, as unfriendly creatures tend to wander the paths to and from the drawbridge to River's Rest proper.

Points of Interest: Gladberry Farms Winery, Voln, The Bluff

| style="text-align: center; border-left: none; border-bottom: none;" | 1-2
|-
| colspan=2 style="border-top: none; font-size: smaller;" | Partially man-made, the tunnels beneath River's Rest host a wide array of underground flora and fauna, including an unusual species of mushroom that provides ample lighting for studying the rocky environment. Underground streams and jets of salt water create obstacles for two-legged visitors, but pose little threat to the crabs and rats that inhabit the area. Although the tunnels are fascinating to study in their own right, they also provide quick passage to the Citadel and the caves that lead directly to the sea. The magical barriers near the passage to the Citadel warrant close scrutiny.

Points of Interest: The Barriers, The Grate

Rumors: Word on the street says that many followers of the [[Huntress]] have been seen lurking within the tunnels. What business they have down there has yet to be determined.

| style="text-align: center; border-left: none; border-bottom: none;" | ''Exterior: 1-18 Interior: 54-62''
|-
| colspan=2 style="border-top: none; font-size: smaller;" | The Citadel area of River's Rest, once the seat of power prior to the coming of the krolvin and trolls, contains all the buildings necessary to support a working castle. Decaying perimeter walls once kept enemies at bay, and an elemental garden that still hosts flaming violets and vines, icy plants and unusually tinted roses still guards the walkway to the citadel drawbridge. The structures still in existence are mostly untouched and still possess the bodies and destruction of the strife that brought the area to its knees. Illicit experiments conducted in the last century have brought undead and other frightful creatures to the area, so amateur archaeologists are advised to use extreme caution when investigating the area. Horticulturists will not want to miss the untouched garden for Aeia, thriving with plants and said to be tended by a ghostly caretaker. The citadel itself, built of striking ebony-hued bricks, still contains the hallmarks of power wielded by the Council of Mages in the 41st century.

The Zoo, The Gardens, The Infirmary, The Armory, The Alchemist Shop, The Garrison.

Rumors: Legend states that a powerful magical force that hides deep beneath The Citadel was the true power behind its ability to hold the light of civilization high after the fall. However, each act of treachery, assassination and deceit that occurred within weakened the force and eventually led to its ruin.
|-
| style="border-right: none; border-bottom: none;" | [[Hidden Vale]]
| style="text-align: center; border-left: none; border-bottom: none;" | 16-17
|-
| colspan=2 style="border-top: none; font-size: smaller;" | A variety of wildflowers and lush grass populate this hidden vale, which is just a stone's throw from the Citadel of River's Rest. Although a natural cave system, complete with an underground waterfall, hides this peaceful valley from the roaming undead of the Citadel, trolls of various types have managed to find their way here. Despite their presence, the vale and its surrounding tree line are relatively unspoiled.

Rumors: Wild horses were once said to roam within the vale, but recent troll activity has driven them off.
|-
| style="border-right: none; border-bottom: none;" | [[Troll Lair]]
| style="text-align: center; border-left: none; border-bottom: none;" | 17-27
|-
| colspan=2 style="border-top: none; font-size: smaller;" | This natural cave system has been expanded by the clan of trolls who dwell within it. The collection of artifacts, to use the term loosely, that has been amassed indicates that the clan has been in residence for some time or, at least, has not bothered to clean up after the previous occupants. A number of trolls and their pets can be supported here at one time - the lair boasts a hall, several storage facilities, a room for pets and quarters for trolls of various ranks. Visitors who are prepared to deal with the residents can get a unique insight into the everyday life of the troll.

Points of Interest: Clan Leader's Room, The Pit, The Pet's Room

Rumors: Centuries ago before trolls took over this cave, a great golden dragon was said to have made her nest here, giving birth to a rare rainbow dragon whose sight meant good fortune, and whose breath bestowed long life. Still, no records exist of having ever spotted this creature in known history.
|-
| style="border-right: none; border-bottom: none;" | [[Sea Caves]]
| style="text-align: center; border-left: none; border-bottom: none;" | 17-25
|-
| colspan=2 style="border-top: none; font-size: smaller;" | Like the river tunnels that connect these caves to the town of River's Rest, the natural sea caves have been reinforced by hand. Evidence suggests that mining activity has been attempted in the past, but most of the valuable commodities have been removed. The excavated caves provide the perfect hideout for the crew of a krolvin ship anchored nearby. They should not be considered safe for those ill-equipped to defend themselves against the krolvin.

Rumors: Krolvin are known for their tenacity. Despite repeated attempts to drive them from the area, the krolvin continue to thrive. One can only speculate what keeps them here.
|-
| style="border-right: none; border-bottom: none;" | [[Krolvin Ship]]
| style="text-align: center; border-left: none; border-bottom: none;" | 19-25
|-
| colspan=2 style="border-top: none; font-size: smaller;" | Krolvin have long made their presence known in the River's Rest region, dating back to the year 4058. As an example, a Krolvin-controlled caravel, using the convenience of the some sea caves, is permanently anchored near River's Rest. The ship boasts three masts and is fully outfitted for hauling cargo. Constantly manned by krolvins, it makes for dangerous exploration, but rewards the cautious with a fine example of ship building.

Points of Interest: The Bowsprit, The Anchor Chain, The Purser's Office

Rumors: Krolvin have in the past used small invasions as a diversion to kidnap local citizens with plans to make them slaves. Supposedly, this ship shows evidence of being taken by force.
|-
| style="border-right: none; border-bottom: none;" | [[Karazja Jungle]]
| style="text-align: center; border-left: none; border-bottom: none;" | 22-30
|-
| colspan=2 style="border-top: none; font-size: smaller;" | Long before its descent to its current primitive state, River's Rest was a great city renowned for its art and architecture. The island itself could not contain its population and the city spilled across the Tempest River to the mainland. Civil and geological strife devastated the city; inexorable time has finished the work. South River's Rest has been overtaken by a formidable jungle. Creeping vines, humid air and local trolls have reduced the existing buildings and huts to ruins. The decaying remains of a formal garden and several larger buildings invite study, although the panthers and vipers frequenting the area can cut short any extended examination. Many of these structures have been defaced with unusual markings. Persistent travel through the northwestern portion of the jungle rewards an adventurer with a visit to a secluded lagoon and pristine beach.

Points of Interest: The Stone Idol, The Emerald Lagoon

Rumors: Strange winds blowing through the area make travel risky. Adventurers are advised to regard with suspicion any saleman hawking maps of this area.
|-
| style="border-right: none; border-bottom: none;" | [[Maelstrom Bay]]
| style="text-align: center; border-left: none; border-bottom: none;" | (non-hostile)
|-
| colspan=2 style="border-top: none; font-size: smaller;" | Accessible from the northern shore of the Tempest River and the island of River's Rest, Maelstrom Bay offers a beautiful sojourn for the seasoned swimmer. Descending to its depths, one may observe a variety of colorful corals and fish, while on the surface, mats of sargassum float along with the currents and impressive cliff walls ring the north side of the bay. Progress west is impeded by the coral reef that breaks the surface, but plenty is left to explore between the Tempest River and the bay itself.

Points of Interest: The Old Broken Spar

Rumors: According to local gossips at the Stone Eye, the wreck of a ship can be found somewhere at the bottom of the Bay.
|-
| style="border-right: none; border-bottom: none;" | [[The Ruined Tower]]
| style="text-align: center; border-left: none; border-bottom: none;" | 30-35
|-
| colspan=2 style="border-top: none; font-size: smaller;" | Although damaged during the Great Quake of 5018, the tower remains an imposing structure. Located on the mainland north of the Tempest River, it was once the demesne of the wizard Kiergaunt Pandarre, a student of the elemental planes. The dungeons beneath the keep are worth exploring for their abandoned cells and torture chamber, while the tower and its courtyard hold the remnants of many admirable pieces of art, some of which can still be appreciated despite the decay. Abandoned after the Great Quake, the tower is still structurally sound.

Points of Interest: The Pool and Workshop, The Library, The Torture Chamber

Rumors: The wizard Kiergaunt Pandarre is said to have disappeared about the time of the Great Quake. It is thought the strange lifeforms now found in and around the tower are a product of his research. Some travelers claim to experience peculiar and revealing visions.
|-
| style="border-right: none; border-bottom: none;" | [[Shattered Moors]]
| style="text-align: center; border-left: none; border-bottom: none;" | 33-35
|-
| colspan=2 style="border-top: none; font-size: smaller;" | On the coast of Maelstrom Bay, north of the Tempest River, cattails and reeds give way to razor grass and heather across a varied range of terrain. To the west of a ruined tower, a salt marsh hosts swarms of mosquitoes and gnats, as well as more dangerous creatures. The astute observer can discern the results of the violent geological activity that gave the moors their name. The rolling hills of the Shattered Moors to the north and northeast are perpetually shrouded in mists. Travel is not too difficult through the moors, but visitors are advised to be wary, as the peat can provide tricky footing and unexpected encounters can be had with the native creatures.

Points of Interest: The Headland Boulder

Rumors: According to local legend, the moors were once a popular locale for smugglers. Darker rumors involve ships being lured to their deaths on the rocky shoals below the headlands, and cargos being salvaged as the dead washed ashore.
|-
| style="border-right: none; border-bottom: none;" | [[Krolvin Carrack]]
| style="text-align: center; border-left: none; border-bottom: none;" | 36-38
|-
| colspan=2 style="border-top: none; font-size: smaller;" | Recently beached near the salt marshes on the north shore of Maelstrom Bay, a Krolvin Carrack is still alive with the activity of its crew. Outfitted as a slave ship complete with holding cells and a branding room, corsairs and slavers still roam the decks, ready to sound the alarm if they spot trespassers. In some parts of the vessel, where work was clearly underway, it is evident that the impact took the occupants by surprise. In addition to keeping an eye out for the krolvin, visitors will want to watch their step, as the severe cant of the vessel can make for dangerous exploration.

Points of Interest: The Captain's Quarters, The Branding Room

Rumors: Some who were aboard the ship when it foundered may still be found around town.
|-
| style="border-right: none; border-bottom: none;" | [[Miasmal Forest]]
| style="text-align: center; border-left: none; border-bottom: none;" | 34-42
|-
| colspan=2 style="border-top: none; font-size: smaller;" | Fogs and mist shroud the Miasmal Forest in perpetual gloom, possibly due to magical damage that has occurred here in the past century. An old road that seems long abandoned cuts its way through part of the stunted trees of the forest, ending at a great oak that bears the corpses of many unfortunate victims. Surviving documents present in the area -- those in a more modern form of Common, that is -- indicate that Miasmal Forest was not always as unpleasant as it is today. Travelers in the region are advised to be wary of the mists, as it is quite easy to lose one's sense of direction when not on the main road.

Points of Interest: The Hanging Tree, [[Oteska's Haven]]

Rumors: Strangely mutilated animal skulls are found throughout the region.
|-
| style="border-right: none; border-bottom: none;" | [[Marsh Keep]]
| style="text-align: center; border-left: none; border-bottom: none;" | 44-54
|-
| colspan=2 style="border-top: none; font-size: smaller;" | A veil of fog conceals a pathway that leads to the east. It winds through fens that local legend claims have some connection to Millah Pradapt, a tragic figure from the era of the great Citadel fortress. Beyond it lies a keep that rises above the marshes, perhaps the source of the evil that now inhabits much of the land north of Maelstrom Bay. Like rotting bread crumbs, the remains of soldiers lead the way to the keep as a reminder to those who once thought to remove its former inhabitant by force. Danger lurks within the fog and the keep's high stone walls, threatening to add to the number of those who have fallen victim to the rumored horrors that dwell beyond the fog.

= Guildmaster =
Promotion to Guildmaster status requires mastery of General Alchemy and a total of 125 skill ranks; once meeting this requirement, the presence of 2 other members who have also met the requirement (whether they are currently a Guildmaster or eligible for promotion themselves) is necessary to execute the promotion. Player Guildmasters can gain experience and fame for checking in other Guild members (must be inactive or required to check in in the next 10 days) or for promoting other Guild members to higher ranks. Guildmasters need to drop by the guild once every 90 days to maintain their status.

2021-05-24T07:41:30Z

BURTNETTJ:

[[File:House sovyn.jpg|170px|thumb|right]]

House Sovyn is located in [[Wehnimer's Landing]], south of the Temple and down the crystal walkway. It provides a home for [[empaths]], [[clerics]], and [[paladins]] interested in working together to help and heal others. Amenities for members include mud baths, hot springs, darts, lockers, and shrines to the various Arkati, as well as chrism-quality gems for clerics who need them. An enchanting workshop, open to the public, is located down the path from the House courtyard. There is also a fishing pond located down the footpath from the courtyard and a [https://gswiki.play.net/Imaera#House_Sovyn.2C_Herb_Garden garden shrine] dedicated to Imaera and Kuon down the walkway from the pond, both open to the public.

Those interested in joining should contact an officer, either in game or via sovyn-officers@yahoogroups.com, to set up an interview. Alternatively, a join request form can be filled out on the House Sovyn website found here: [http://www.housesovyn.com/house-info/how-to-join Join Request Form]. Assuming the interview is successful and the applicant remains interested in joining, officers will then schedule an induction at the applicant's earliest convenience.

House member meetings are held at 9:00 p.m. Eastern on the first Monday of every month in the House library.

==Current Officers==

* '''Patriarch''' : Eruheran
* '''Executrix''' : Dirvy
* '''Gypsy Scribe''' : Balley
* '''Librarian''' : Amminar
* '''Lady Exchequer''' : Leyann
* '''Numismatist''' : Acerbe
* '''Keeper of Rings''' : Thailmore

==House Sovyn Motto and Symbol==

'''Motto''': "Head, Hands, and Heart"

'''Symbol''': A pair of clasped-hands, usually displayed as one white, one silver on a field of green.

==Charter==

===STATEMENT OF PURPOSE===

The House of Sovyn is being established for the purpose of promoting the lawful goals of its membership as it may, from time to time, determine to be of mutual benefit. In addition, as when a sovyn clove is administered and restores lost limbs, so does House Sovyn tend to and restore health and life to those in need.

===STATEMENT OF GOVERNING===

House Sovyn shall be a democratic House with all members voting on key issues; the Chairman breaking all ties and controlling the agenda for issues to be brought before a vote.

Officer terms shall be for a period of one year at which point new elections shall be held. Elections shall be held on the summer solstice. If a current officer has been in office for less than 6 months, his position shall be retained until the following election. Should an office be vacated under circumstances other than an election, the office shall be filled by a vote within 2 weeks of the office being vacated. If only one person volunteers for the office by the end of the first week, the current officers reserve the right to invest the person into the vacant office without the need for a vote. The offices of IC Coordinator and Librarian are an exception to the one year term and will be filled as vacated instead of on a yearly basis.

If a House Sovyn officer has not participated in a House activity and/or has been absent from the lands for a period of one month, it is the other officers' obligation to contact that person and give them two weeks to respond. If the officer in question does not respond within the two week period and has no basis for their disappearance, then they shall be expelled from office. If the officer in question does respond within the two week period, an explanation for their inactivity will be mandatory and their status as an officer may be placed into question, situation depending.

In the event a main office is vacated between summer solstice elections, the co-officer will step up to the vacant main position (if they so desire) and a vote will be held to fill the co-position. In the event a co-position is vacated between election times, a vote will be held to fill this position. The offices of IC Coordinator and Librarian shall not have a term and in the event either of these offices are vacated, the office vacated will be posted to the general membership for application. Applications will be accepted for one week after the office is vacated and the current officers will vote and approve a candidate within the week following.

In the event of a summer solstice election, the offices up for voting shall be divided into three categories: Chairman, Treasury and Secretarial. Any and all interested parties shall run for a category, not an individual position. Voters shall designate who they believe, out of the options presented for each category, should fill the main position and who should fill the co-position. When tallying votes, 2 points shall be assigned to each person receiving a vote for the main position, and 1 point shall be assigned to each person receiving a vote for co-position. The points will be added up, and the person running for office with the most tallied points wins the main position, and the person with the second most tallied points wins the co-position. One week will be designated for accepting applications and speeches for positions, and a second week will be designated for accepting and tallying votes.

===REQUIREMENTS FOR JOINING===

Proposed members for House Sovyn must meet the following requirements:

1) They shall be an Empath of age 10 or greater able and willing to life keep and transfer all wounds, a Cleric of age 10 or greater able and willing to life keep and resurrect when training allows, or they shall be a Paladin of age 10 or greater able and willing to life keep and resurrect when training allows.

2) Non Empaths, Clerics, or Paladins will not be admitted for membership unless they marry or are married to a current or future member. Spouses of future members may be admitted as soon as the Empath, Cleric, or Paladin is admitted into the House. They shall have a status of associate member, having all rights that members have excepting the ability to hold office. If an associate member's marriage is dissolved, or their spouse leaves the House, they shall have the option to remain as an associate member if they so desire.

===MEMBERSHIP FEES===

There shall be an initiation fee in the sum of 25,000 silver pieces with no monthly dues; half these amounts if an associate member.

===MEMBERSHIP PRIVILEGES===

All members shall have access to all areas of the House excepting the quarters reserved for officers and the lounges specific to either Empaths, Clerics, or Paladins. Members may elect to have the coat of arms of House Sovyn engraved upon their shield and they shall also be eligible for loans assuming they meet the requirements and are in good standing. In addition, the House shall provide storage facilities for all its members.

===BYLAWS===

All members shall adhere to the following guidelines: A reasonable effort will be made to assist any seriously injured or deceased person to prevent a deterioration in their current condition and prepare them for a return to a healthful living condition. Seriously injured means bleeding wounds that will lead to death if not addressed. Deterioration in their current condition means death for the seriously injured and decomposition for the deceased. Obviously, if the person is under the care of another empath/cleric/paladin, no assistance is required. Members are not required to stay at gathering places such as the main gate or our healing area even if there are seriously wounded or deceased persons present if there are other empaths/clerics/paladins there to provide assistance. It is not expected that a member shall run throughout the lands looking for those in need of help (though they may choose to).

For the seriously injured, assistance is not required to those who are not cooperating with the provider of that assistance. Non-cooperation would include the injured running away, physically assaulting or abusing the House member while they attempt to provide assistance. Abuse shall consist of, but is not limited to, acts such as punching, kicking, slapping, etc. Assistance is also not required if the injured or deceased asks not to be assisted by the House member.

It would be unreasonable for an empath/cleric/paladin to take actions that are likely to result in the empath/cleric/paladin's death to provide such assistance. An empath is not expected to heal when their current health is so poor that it's life threatening, a cleric is not expected to restore life when their current life spirit is insufficient, and a paladin is not expected to assist if their health is poor, or their current life spirit is insufficient. It would also be considered unreasonable to tend a wounded person in the field in an area where the creatures present would kill the empath/cleric/paladin if they put their weapon and shield away to bandage the person.

A reasonable effort is defined as the actions needed to prevent immediate deterioration and, if not fully healed of serious injuries or restored to life, create a situation that the empath/cleric/paladin believes will result in them getting the required level of care before their condition deteriorates. Reasonable efforts would include tending a seriously injured person in the field so that they have sufficient time to return to town for full treatment or life keeping a deceased person in the field and leaving the deceased in the care of a friend who will drag the deceased to town for full treatment.

Enforcement is the responsibility of the House officers, who would only act in the face of overwhelming evidence indicating a gross violation of the spirit of the charter.
