==About Bigshot==
===What Does Bigshot Do?===

Using a series of menus and commands inputs, Bigshot lets a user create a modular, customizable and fully automated hunting script. With just a few clicks and tweaks, you can go from scripting Rats to the Rift.

===How Do I Get It?===

Grab it from the Repository: ;repository download Bigshot

===How Do I Make it GO!?===
Initial setup is accessed through ;bigshot setup. There you will see a configuration window with various tabs to setup for your hunting routine.

As with most scripts, using a SETUP command will open a graphical user interface for configuring the script. Use ;bigshot setup to open this dialog. This will open a window with the following tabs:
* Profile - This is where you save/load your profile information. Profiles are saved to your \Lich5\data\<GSServer\<charname>\bigshot_profiles directory. Eg, \Lich5\data\GSIV\Rinualdo\bigshot_profiles (note, if you've previously used bigshot, the file location has changed. The previous location was in your \Lich5\scripts\bigshot_profiles folder. You can copy/paste
* Resting - Set up your resting routine and location.
* Hunting - Create a hunting map by adding BOUNDARIES, define your attack stance and any pre hunt information
* Attacking - configuration for ambushing, bless, reactions, and similar flags
* Commands - Where you define your valid targets and associated attack routines. See sample routines below.
* Misc tab - Various config options

We will take a closer look at each of these individually further on.

There is also several other commands you can do for more functionality.
* ;bigshot quick - Special hunting mode that kills everything in the room you are in and quits bigshot. Wont wander at all, and wont attempt to rest. Has its own hunting commands and hunting targets.
* ;bigshot head/tail - This is for Multi-Account hunting. It only works for a single computer. Every character needs to be setup for the hunting area your going to. You start it by having your following characters join your head character. The following characters need to be running bigshot with ;bigshot tail. Once that happens, have the leader of the group do ;Bigshot head. They will then procede to hunt in the area you have setup.
* ;bigshot display - Shows all your current settings.
* ;bigshot reset - Resets all your targetable and untargetable lists. Useful if you find bigshot won't targets something it should.
* ;bigshot ranger or ;bigshot companion - Resets ranger companion setting so you can set it again. Used when you change your companion.
* ;bigshot profile save <name here> - Saves a profile in YAML format in your character's profile folder. Also accessible via the Profiles tab in the setup menu.
* ;bigshot profile load <name here> - Loads a profile from your character's profile folder. Also accessible via the Profiles tab in the setup menu.
* ;bigshot single - When used solo, will execute a single hunting routine, return to your resting location and then exit
* ;bigshot <options> <creature> - example: ;bigshot single giant rat - Will activate ranger tracking of a creature. Anything input besides the above commands will default to "track <input>".

==The Profile Tab==
* Load Profile - will load an existing profile. Nothing will be available if no previous profiles are saved
* Current Profile - shows the existing profile if a new one is loaded.
* Save profile - Valid profile information for future ebounty script support
Save Current Settings - tell Bigshot what you want your profile to be named. Any name will work here. Once a profile is saved, will show up in the Load Profile menu.

==The Resting Tab==
Short and sweet, here is where we setup our resting routines. During REST mode, Bigshot uses the EXP command and checks your mind, hit points, wound status, mana and spirit. Once all of these values are at the specified Should_hunt? settings, Bigshot leaves REST mode and begins a HUNT.

* room id: - This is the room that Bigshot will return to for resting. Use Room Numbers from Map/Go2. Support both LichIDs and SimuIDs with a u, for example, 228 for Town Square Central or u7120.
* pre-rest commands: - These commands run before entering REST mode. An example routine is: 'shea, wear shield, sit, stance offensive, rest'. This will sheath your weapon, wear your shield, sit, enter offensives stance and use the REST verb.
* active resting scripts: - Active resting scripts are scripts that will be run upon entering REST mode. These scripts should be things that you do after a hunt: get healed, empty your bags, spell up. An example list is: 'eloot sell, waggle, eherbs'. This will use eloot to sell according to the options set with eloot. After selling, it will use Waggle to spell you up according to however Waggle is setup. Finally, eherbs will check your PACK and use herbs stored there to heal whatever wounds you have.
* Fog Option: - Uses [[Spirit Guide (130)]], Voln [[Symbol of Return]], [[Traveler's Song (1020)]], [[Sigil of Escape]], [[Familiar Gate (930)]] or Custom when heading back to rest. Setting it to None does nothing. Setting it to 130 will cause it to use 130 first then if that fails symbol of return. Symbol of return will use that first, then 130 if that fails. Setting to Traveler's Song will attempt once and continue. Setting to Familiar Gate will attempt to summon a portal once and walk through it. Will perform a mana pulse if not enough mana is detected. Custom option allows for comma separated list of commands to perform.
* Should Rest?
Bigshot evaluates these conditions and, when they are met, will go to your resting room set on the Resting tab and execute any resting scripts you have set.
* '''when percent mind >='''
** Rests when your mind has reached this threshold. Generally, set this to 100 to rest when fried.
* '''and extra kills >='''
** The number of extra monsters to kill after reaching your `when percent mind` threshold and after LTE boosts used
* '''and used lte boosts >='''
** The number of LTE boosts it will attempt to use after reaching your `when percent mind` threshold
* '''or percentmana <='''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when your percentage of mana is at or below this threshold.
** This can be set to 0, but leaving a bit in the tank can be good if you have to use 406 (Unlock) to open the WL Graveyard gate. 11/17/24: If you run into an error that calls to an "OOM" message, try setting this to 1.
* '''or percentencumbrance >='''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when you have reached a given level of encumbrance.
* '''or wounded eval'''
** Allows you to set an evaluation phrase to determine if you are too wounded to continue hunting. Wound evaluations can send you home on nearly any wounded condition of your choice: bleeding, level 2 wound, can't cast, too many scars etc.

The following is a wounded evaluation that will rest whenever you have any level II wounds:
<PRE>XMLData.injuries.any?{|key,value| value["wound"] > 1} || Char.percent_health <= 70</PRE>
The following is a wound evaluation that will take you home if you can not cast anymore (nerves, level 2 head/eyes, bad scars etc.):
<PRE>bleeding? || Char.percent_health <= 25 || [Wounds.head, Scars.head, Wounds.leftEye, Scars.leftEye, Wounds.rightEye, Scars.rightEye, Wounds.nsys, Scars.nsys].max > 1 || [Wounds.leftArm, Wounds.leftHand, Wounds.rightArm, Wounds.rightHand, Scars.leftArm, Scars.leftHand, Scars.rightArm, Scars.rightHand].max > 2 || ([Wounds.leftArm, Wounds.leftHand, Scars.leftArm, Scars.leftHand].max > 0 && [Wounds.rightArm, Wounds.rightHand, Scars.leftArm, Scars.leftHand].max > 0)</PRE>
The following can be added to one of the above wound evaluations to also rest upon having popped muscles:
<PRE>|| Effects::Debuffs.active?("Overexerted")</PRE>

* '''when creeping dread >='''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when your creeping dread is at or below this threshold.
* '''when crushing dread >='''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when your crushing dread is at or below this threshold.
* '''Wall of Thorns Poison'''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when you are affected by Wall of Thorns Poison.
* '''Confusion Debuff'''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when you are affected by the non-dispellable Confusion Debuff.

==The Hunting Tab==
This is where you will tell bigshot when to hunt, any commands or society abilities to use prior to hunting, and where on the map you want to hunt.
===The Hunting Map===
Your hunting map is a series of Boundaries - rooms that Bigshot will not enter - and a Start room - the first room that Bigshot moves to when a hunt starts. These function very similarly to the boundaries in the ;Wander script, but are stored in Bigshot's configuration files and not in a character cache as with ;Wander. Here you also configure when to hunt
* starting room ID: - This is the first room that Bigshot goes to when hunting. You may set this to any room within the Boundaries that you set with the second option.
* boundary rooms: - Boundary rooms are walls. Bigshot will not enter a Boundary room!

<PRE>X-X-B - A - 0 - 0 - 0
| |
X-X-X</PRE>

The proper syntax for boundary rooms are separated by commas
Some popular Rift boundaries as an example
<PRE>
Plane 1: 2635, 12101, 12208
Plane 2: 2605, 2635, 12093
Plane 3: 2635, 12089, 12152
Plane 4: 12122, 12207, 12235
Plane 5: 2579
North Scatter: 12151, 12254, 12256, 12249, 12247, 12241
South Scatter: 12151, 12219, 12217, 12233, 12237, 12239
</PRE>

For Maaghara boundaries, you can use
<PRE>
9734
</PRE>

Confluence boundaries:<pre>
2300, 3519, 228, 188, 1932, 10855, 3668, 1438, 1005
</pre>

Imagine a hunting area that is a six room square. To enter this square, one must GO DOORWAY from room A. You would set the room outside of the square - ie room A - before you GO DOORWAY, as a boundary. Then, you would set room B to the Starting Room. From there, Bigshot will move to room B and then wander around inside the Boundary - ie the square hunting area - until it your '''Should_rest?''' conditions are met.

* Wait before wandering to another room: - Time you wait before leaving a room to find some creatures. Default is 0.3 seconds. Set to 0 for fastest (spammy) movement.

* attack stance: - Specify what stance you want to attack from. Bigshot will remain in Stance Defensive until an attack command is issued, whereupon it will stance to your Attack Stance and execute your Attacking routine. Bigshot recognizes all stances from the game, Offensive ->-> Defensive.
* pre-hunt commands: - These commands will be executed before Bigshot uses Go2 to travel to your hunt's Starting Room. As an example: 'gird, stance defensive'. This will ensure that you have readied your weapon and are in Defensive stance before traveling. Set short lived combat spells like 1605 (Arm of the Arkati) to be cast in this line.
* active hunting scripts: - Active hunting scripts are scripts that will run while Bigshot is in Hunt mode. Many of these scripts have been made obsolete by the next option. Clever scripters have written some nice scripts that will keep certain spells up, execute cmans based on conditions etc. If you need a complex action to run while Hunting that Bigshot does not have the capacity for, an active hunting script may be called for.
* society abilities/spells/cmans: - Bigshot can be asked to keep certain abilities up at all times during a hunt. Hovering your mouse over this field will display a list of cmans and society abilities specified by their numerical designations. Spells may also be added here. Separate all values by commas. For example, entering '506' will keep the spell Haste up during Hunts, casting whenever it has worn off.
* loot script - Bigshot will call a loot script to loot your kills for you. eloot is commonly scripts used here. Be sure to use the SETUP command on whatever loot script you use, as if it is not configured properly, Bigshot will likely error.
* wracking spirit >= - Setting a value here will WRACK for mana if your spirit is greater than or equal to the value specified. Setting 6, for example, will WRACK down to 5 spirit. This will ONLY function if you have the 'Use sign of wracking/sigil of power' box checked.
* Use sign of wracking/sigil of power - checkbox to enable the use of wracking
* Priority hunt - checkbox to enable the use of the priority system for hunting. This allows you to change targets based on the order listed in valid targets/quickhunt targets. For example, your hunting thunder trolls, wind witches, and puma. Your valid target order is wind witch, thunder troll, puma. Your currently attacking a puma, when a thunder troll walks in. You will switch to the attacking the thunder troll because its before the puma in the valid targets list. After killing the thunder troll, you go back to the puma, only to have a wind witch walk into your room. You will again switch to the wind witch because its in front of the puma. Hope you get the idea. When using the ;bigshot quick option, it will base the order of targets by your quickhunt targets first, then the order of the targets in the room that don't match any of your quickhunt targets. Example, bandits are in your quickhunt targets. You type ;bigshot quick when you get ambushed in the room. Currently in the room is a large ogre and three bandits. The order of targets will be the bandits first, then the large ogre.
* Delay looting - delays looting of creatures in a room.
* Pull players to feet - attempt to pull players to their feet upon passing them in a room
* Stop for dead players - checkbox will pause bigshot if you encounter a dead player
* Sneaky Sneaky - sneak around while out in the hunting area

===Should hunt ===
Bigshot evaluates the conditions set on this tab to determine if you are ready to hunt or not.
* '''when percent mind <='''
** Setting this to 51 will rest until Cleared. Setting at 65 will wait until Muddled.
* '''and percent mana>='''
** Determines the percent total of your maximum mana that must be present before hunting
** Setting below 50 will result in quick, uneventful hunts if you cast much. Generally, this is set at 95 or higher.
* '''and CHECKspirit >='''
** Bigshot will check to see that your current Spirit value is higher than what is listed here.
** Make sure that you have this set high enough that Bigshot won't hunt immediately after DEPARTing if you have Depart / re-run Bigshot checked on the General tab.

==The Attacking Tab==
* Ambush aiming locations (head, etc): - Allows you to specify what order you aim for ambush. Default is head, right leg, left leg, chest.
* Archery aiming locations (head, etc): - Allows you to specify what order you aim for archery. Loops through your aiming locations once you hit the area your aiming at.
* flee if enemy count is > - Flees the room if the total number of enemies in the room exceeds the value. Set this to 1 if you want to engage single targets.
* ...but don't count these: - Bigshot will ignore monsters specified in this line when eveluating if it should flee based on how many monsters are in the room. Useful for when you are hunting in an area with extremely low level monsters mixed in with your targets.
* ...and always flee from: - Bigshot will always flee from the specified monster as soon as possible. Extremely useful if your hunting area has higher level and/or extremely dangerous monsters mixed in with your intented target(s).
* flee from environment message: - Will flee whenever anything you put in here gets sent from the game. (XML regex matching)
* Wait before wandering to another room: - time you spend before moving to a new room. Default is 0.3 seconds. You can set it to 0 to move instantly. Tends to be spammy for anyone in the same hunting area.
* Approach lone targets only - Forces Bigshot to only begin combats against creatures that are alone.
* Bless weapon? - Performs a Consecrate (1604), then a Cleric Bless or Voln Bless on whatever weapon loses its bless during hunting. If you can't bless your weapon while hunting will return you to your rest area and quit the script.
* Flee from boon - Enabling this check box will force Bigshot to flee from all boon/gifted/boss creatures (available in [https://github.com/elanthia-online/scripts/pull/449/commits/afade49e25dd6042c30b6d62fec4d65376667f80 v4.3.0])
* Activate weapon reactions - Will initiate reactive strikes when the opportunity presents itself
* Flee from clouds - Enabling this check box will force Bigshot to flee from Cloud spells such as 125(Call Lightning with its Ominous Cloud), 1704 (Stun Cloud) and 1713 (Death Cloud)
* Flee from vines - Enabling this check box will force Bigshot to flee from Vine spell such as 610(Tangle Weed)
* Flee from webs - Enabling this check box will force Bigshot to flee from webs.
* Flee from voids- Enabling this check box will force Bigshot to flee from voids.

==Commands Tab==
The true guts of Bigshot, this is where you specify your Attack Routine.
* hunting commands - These are the commands that Bigshot will evaluate (ie execute) when it is in the room with a valid target (one that you specified in your Hunting section. These commands are separated by a comma. Bigshot recognizes most hunting verbs and, failing that, will use an fput command (a direct entry method) and just execute the commands directly as written. The following are a list of usable hunting commands:
** kill - Attacks using the KILL verb.
** incant <spell number> - Casts the specified spell with the INCANT verb. This will automatically stance into offensive for bolt and other stance-sensitive spells. A caster may CHANNEL the spell using [[INCANT (verb)]] to INCANT SET CHANNEL <spell> (a standard GSIV verb, not part of Lich). Alternatively, a caster may CHANNEL spells by using the SET verb (a standard GSIV verb, not part of Lich) to SET ChannelIncant ON. This will CHANNEL an INCANTed spell if the caster is in a stance higher than neutral.
** channel <spell number> - Channels the specified spell at the target. This requires a stance higher than neutral to have any effect.
** <Spell Number> - Casts the specified spell with the PREPARE and CAST verbs.
** wand - As in, <CODE>wand target</CODE>. Gets a wand from the specified storage and WAVES it at the target.
** wandolier - Similiar to wand, but uses wandoliers. Gets a wand from the fresh wand container and waves it, rubs container if no wands found. Default waves in offensive. Can change via <CODE>wandolier defensive</CODE> to wave in a different stance
** fire - As in, <CODE>fire target</CODE>. Gets ammunition from the specified storage and FIREs it at the target. Will attempt to aim based on settings on hunting tab.
*** The above listed commands should be used with the (x#) syntax. For example, <CODE>kill target (x3)</CODE> will swing three times at the target before re-evaluating the attack routine. If the (xx) variable is used, Bigshot will continue using the specified attack command up to five (5) times. Example: <CODE>903 target (xx)</CODE> will continue to cast 903 at the target (5) times before restarting the attack routine or until it is dead. If you want to ensure the routine does not restart, using a sufficiently large number should suffice (e.g. x100). Bigshot may also be set to only execute a command based on how much mana or stamina you currently have. For mana, use the (m##) command. <CODE>920 target (m50)</CODE> will only cast 920 (Implosion) if you have 50 or more mana. Similarly, <CODE>cman feint target (s10)</CODE> will only execute the combat maneuver Feint on the target if you have 10 or more stamina. The command syntax is used as a separate call and wrapped in separate parenthesis, as in (m50 s20)(x2).
** aim <location> - Aims at the specified location.
** ambush - Uses the AMBUSH verb to attack. Will aim based on settings in Hunting tab. Also will aim dynamically, "Ambush head" would aim at the head, overwriting any settings or defaults for that attack.
** wait <time> - Bigshot may Stance Dance by using the WAIT command. Bigshot will go into and stay in Stance Defensive until the specified time is over OR the target swings / casts, whereupon it will evaluate the rest of the Attack Routine, changing into your specified attack stance.
** mstrike - As in, <CODE>mstrike target</CODE>. Mstrike depending on mstrike cooldown and stamina. Has its own option page. Can also be used with UAC, "mstrike punch".
** berserk - Executes the BERSERK verb and stands by until it fades.
** throw - Empties hands, Attempts throw, get the stuff you emptied.
** weed/kweed - Casts 610 at target. Using "kweed" as your command will force evoke 610 ensuring the damage version
** curse <curse> - Clumsy/Weakness/Darkness/Itch/Hex/Pox/Nightmare/Star - will prep 715 and use curse command as defined. Will skip "curse star" if buff is up.
** unarmed - Uses the Bigshot UAC routine. Routine will attack with appropriate attacks to rank up and use mstrike based on mstrike options page. Usage "unarmed (punch|jab|kick|grapple)".
** smite - Performs an [[Order of Voln]] [[Kai's_Smite|Smite]] on target until successful.
** leech - Performs a [[Mana Leech (516)]] on target if cooldown is under 15 minutes.
** script <script name> - Executes a specified custom attack script.
** hide - Continue hiding until you're actually hidden. Or it's tired of trying.
** sleep - As in, <CODE>sleep 10</CODE>. Pause bigshot. Useful with fried hunting commands such as: <CODE>410, sleep 15</CODE> will E-wave then wait 15 seconds and e-wave again if there are valid targets.
** stance - As in, <CODE>stance defense</CODE>. Change stances.
** nudgeweapons - Move all weapons on the ground to an adjacent room. Useful for casting Implosion (720).
** force <cmd> until <endroll> - As in, <CODE>force incant 1002 until 101</CODE>. Continue issuing a command until a desired endroll. Only works for normal looking swings/spells/cmans.
** eachtarget <cmd> - issues command to each valid target in room
** efury <fire|cold> - casts Earthern Fury (917) on the target and waits for DOT to end or 12secs to pass
** caststop <spell> - casts the spell and then immediately stops it after casting
** wield <noun> <left|right> - weilds new noun and stores the hand given to put new noun item in
** store - store left, right or both, but only if something is in those hands
** tether <recast> - casts 706 with built-in logic to wait, can also do recast to auto-recast 706 on creature death and DOTs transfer
** unravel <spell> - casts 1013 Song of Unravelling with an optional spell to target against creature
** depress - casts 1015 Song of Depression with some some built in logic
** phase - force CASTs 704 Phase due to needing to prep/cast for usage on NPC targets

* valid targets: - These are the monsters you are hunting. Bigshot will most easily recognize monsters based on the NOUNs or their name. For example, 'a large ogre' can be targeted with just 'ogre'. Using longer descriptors can be troublesome, and you should copy a monster's name directly from the game front end to avoid troubles. You can use multiple entries separated by commas. For example: 'manticore, thrak' will kill manticores and thraks.
* quickhunt targets: - These are monsters you have designated attacks for when your using the ;bigshot quick option for hunting.

===PSM3 Integration===
* hunting commands - Bigshot now supports weapon/shield skills and warcries. Assaults will wait until they finish or are interuppted. These commands are separated by a comma. The following are a list of usable hunting commands:

You may need to '''SKILLS FULL/CMAN INFO/WEAPON INFO/SHIELD INFO''' if you've recently changed training or skills are being outright skipped.

===Additional Options===
*haste or 506 - Placing this in front of any command will cause you to cast 506 before doing that command. It only casts if it isn't currently up or has less than 3 seconds left on its timer.
<PRE>wait 10, haste kill (x3)</PRE>
*slayer or 240 - Placing this in front of any command will cause you to cast 240 before doing that command. It will not recast if it's already active.
<PRE>slayer 302 (x99)</PRE>

===Command Checks===

Commands need to use the following format:
<CODE>COMMAND (CHECKS)(REPETITIONS)</CODE>

So <CODE>hamstring (mob1 prone)(x2)</CODE> Any (x#) needs to be separate. Also (xx) is not unlimited and is just short for (x5).

Additional checks you can add to any command to customize the attack to your desired scenario.
Each check below can be used by itself or with any other check. Put them inside () with a space between each additional check. Example - Kill(m20 s5 e20)
<p>Each of these also has an inverse or opposite.
Just put a ! in front of the command. Example - Kill(!m20 !s5 !e20)
*s# - Checks that you have the required stamina
*m# - Checks that you have the required mana
*h# - Checks that you have the required health but based on a percentage instead of fixed number
*v# - Checks that you have the required spirit
*e# - Checks that your encumbrance percentage is at or below
*tier# - Checks for your current UAC tier (1,2,3). Performs command if UAC Tier is equal or greater.
*mob# - Checks for the number of npcs in room. Performs command if npcs in room is equal to or more than number specified. Only use for 2 or more creatures in the room
<PRE>To further clarify the mob# implimentation
1 mob, mob2, 1 IS less than 2, attack should not proceed.
2 mob, mob2, 2 IS NOT less than 2, attack can proceed
1 mob, !mob2, 1 IS NOT more than 2, attack can proceed
2 mob, !mob2, 2 IS NOT more than 2, attack can proceed
3 mob, !mob2, 3 IS more than 2, attack should not proceed</PRE>
*once - Performs the command once on a specified target, resets on room change
*room - Performs the command once in a room only, resets on room change
*prone - Checks to see if target is not sleeping|webbed|stunned|kneeling|sitting|lying down|prone|frozen|held in place. Performs command if target status is not one of the previous.
*frozen - Same usage as prone. Broke out of prone check for archers against non-corporeal creatures that deflect ranged. Corporeal creatures can be stunned and will break this check.
*undead - Checks to see if target is undead. Performed command if target is undead.
*flying - Checks to see if target is flying. Performed command if target is flying.

===Example Attack Routines===
<PRE>wait 10, kill (x3)</PRE>

Waits 10 seconds for the monster to swing or cast and then immediately counter attacks from the specified attack stance set in the Hunting tab. Swings a total of three times before going into Defensive stance and waiting 10 seconds again.

<PRE>wait 15, incant 505, incant 903 (xx)</PRE>

Waits 15 seconds before INCANTing 505 (Hand of Tonis), hopefully knocking down or stunning the target. Following this, Bigshot casts 903 (minor water) repeatedly until the target is dead (up to 5 times).

<PRE>stance defensive and incant 1615, kill (x100)</PRE>

Casts 1615 (Divine Strike) at the target from Defensive stance, possibly forcing the target to kneel. Then, uses the kill verb to swing continuously until the target is dead or 100 times..whichever happens first.

<PRE>force feint until 101, kill (x2)</PRE>

Uses the Combat Maneuver FEINT against the target until a successful end roll and then hits the target twice before trying to FEINT again.

<PRE>stance defensive and hide, ambush left leg</PRE>

Hides from Defensive stance and then ambushes that the target's left leg. Once round-time is up, repeats (ie HIDES again from defensive stance).

<PRE>incant 720(m50), incant 708, incant 702 channel(xx)</PRE>

Casts 720 (Implosion) at the target if your character has 50 or more mana. Then, INCANTs 708 (Limb Disruption) at the target, using the default AIM location (if set). Finally, casts 702 (Mana Disruption) at the target up to (5) times or until it is dead.

<PRE>prep 708, cast at left leg / prep 708 channel at left leg, incant 719 (m50)(x1), incant 702 (xx)</PRE>

Prepares 708 (Limb Disruption) and CASTs it at the target's left leg. The second prepares the same spell and then CHANNELs it at the target's left leg. It will then cast 719 (Dark Catalyst) if there is at least 50 mana, and will only cast one time. The last will incant 702 until the creature is dead.

<PRE>wait 30, unarmed punch</PRE>

Waits 30 seconds or until your target attacks. Begins attacked with UAC combat using Punch to tier up.

<PRE>shield charge (s15 prone), ambush, mstrike</PRE>

Will shield charge the target if your character has 15 or more stamina and the target is NOT prone.

The second command will then ambush based on the settings in the "Attacking" Tab - in this case a custom order of head, neck, right leg, back was given so Bigshot will first try to Ambush the head unless the head is too injured or the head cannot be reached followed by the neck then right leg then back.

Bigshot will then focus mstrike the target unless the creature count is equal to or greater than the setting in the MSTRIKE Tab, in which case it will open mstrike instead. If you put "mstrike target", Bigshot will always focused mstrike regardless of the settings in the MSTRIKE Tab. Alternatively, you can set the "Unfocused MSTRIKE when creatures equal or greater" to a large number, to always focus your mstrikes (or set it to 1 to always open mstrike).

<PRE>bellow all, wblade(mob3), flurry(!flurry), attack</PRE>

Will aoe bellow, then whirling blade if there are at least 3 targets. The third command will flurry if you don't have the slashing strikes buff. Finally it will attack and continue to attack until one of the previous attacks become available.

<PRE>holler, shield throw(mob3), flurry, thrash, attack</PRE>

Will open up with a taunt from holler, then shield throw if there are at least 3 targets. Third command will flurry on cooldown. Fourth will thrash on cooldown. Finally we will attack if everything else ends up on cooldown or we run out of stamina.

<PRE>shroud(s35 !hidden mob2), divert (s25 hidden mob2), ambush(hidden), flurry, attack</PRE>

If there is more than one mob, it will hide with shroud and divert one of the targets. Third command will ambush if hidden. Fourth will flurry on cooldown followed up with attack to finish anything off.

<PRE>surge(!surge), bullrush, bearhug, pummel, attack</PRE>

Will cast surge when not on cooldown, and bullrush to bust up and apply vulnerable, then bearhug which is faster if target is vulnerable. Third we will pummel on cooldown and attack when nothing else is available.

<PRE>surge, shout(buff10), shield strike, pummel(buff60), attack(x2)</PRE>

Will keep surge active, casting during cooldown for 60 stamina. Next it will shout and refresh shout when there is less than 11 seconds left on the duration. Third it will shield strike followed up with a pummel once every minute. It will finish off with 2 attacks.

<PRE>pindown(mob4), volley(mob2), weed(!vigor !reflex), barrage(!barrage), incant 616 (m16 reflex), fire</PRE>

Will open up with pin down if there are at least 4 targets, then will volley if there are at least 2 targets. The third command will cast tangleweed if you do not have the tangleweed vigor buff or the arcane reflex buff. Our fourth command will barrage unless we have the enhanced dexterity buff from barage. Fifth we will cast a 1 second spike thorn if we do have 16 mana and do have the arcane reflex buff. Finally we will fire until one of our other commands become available.

===Hunting Target Examples===
All of the examples below will work for both the 'valid targets' and 'quickhunt targets' entries.
* A hunting option only using the default command (a) for each creature in an area:
<pre>crazed zombie, niirsha, sacristan spirit</pre>
* A hunting option using custom hunt commands depending on the creature. In this case it will use command (a) for a [[crazed zombie]] and a [[sacristan spirit]], while using (b) for a [[niirsha]]:
<pre>crazed zombie(a), niirsha(b), sacristan spirit(a)</pre>
* A hunting option that will include the [[:Category:Boss creatures|Boss Creatures]] variations as valid targets:
<pre>(?:adroit |afflicted |apt |barbed |belligerent |blurry |canny |combative |dazzling |deft |diseased |drab |dreary |ethereal |flashy |flexile |flickering |flinty |frenzied |ghastly |ghostly |gleaming |glittering |glorious |glowing |grotesque |hardy |illustrious |indistinct |keen |lanky |luminous |lustrous |muculent |nebulous |oozing |pestilent |radiant |raging |ready |resolute |robust |rune-covered |shadowy |shielded |shifting |shimmering |shining |sickly green |sinuous |slimy |sparkling |spindly |spiny |stalwart |steadfast |stout |tattooed |tenebrous |tough |twinkling |unflinching |unyielding |wavering |wispy )?crazed zombie, niirsha, sacristan spirit</pre>
* Some additional advanced options for identifying valid targets:
<pre>
(?:seasoned |grizzled |battle-scarred |weathered |veteran |hulking |haggard )?Grimswarm (?:giant|troll|orc) (?:dissembler|sorcerer|sorceress|warlock|witch)(a)

</pre>
* To attack everything in the room <code>(?:.*)</code>

== Misc Tab==
Various specialized config options

===UAC Options===
The various options for configuring how UAC works:
* '''Tier 3 Attack'''
** The attack used when you have reached excellent in the UAC tier
** Options are jab, punch, grapple, or kick
* '''Aim at location (head, etc)'''
** Used for aimed UAC Combat, which requires ambush training to be effective
** Leave blank when you don't want to aim.
* '''MSTRIKE when creatures equal or greater'''
** Determines how many creatures must be present before using MSTRIKE
* '''Use Voln SMITE?'''
** Will perform a Voln SMITE on [[Non-corporeal]] undead

Frequently, people have trouble setting up Bigshot to work with Unarmed Combat. Bigshot only requires minimal configuration to ensure UAC works well.
#UAC tab: Input your '''Tier 3 Attack''' (jab, punch, grapple, or kick)
#Commands tab: Input your '''hunting commands(a)''' option as '''unarmed jab'''

Important notes to keep in mind on how UAC works in Bigshot:
* The hunting option '''unarmed jab''' can be replaced by any UAC attack type (e.g. '''unarmed punch''')
* UAC follow up strikes will be selected over the base or tier 3 attack
* Tier 3 attacks will be used only when positioning is excellent

There is almost no reason to ever use anything other than '''unarmed jab'' as the hunting command, and either '''grapple''' or '''kick''' as the Tier 3 attack.

===MSTRIKE Options===
MSTRIKE attack now has options for when it should be used.
* '''MSTRIKE during cooldown stamina requirement'''
** Allows you to specify how much stamina you want before it will MSTRIKE during the MSTRIKE Cooldown
** Be careful when setting this too low as it can pop your muscles
** Leave blank for it to use your max stamina.
* '''QUICKSTRIKE stamina requirement'''
** Like above but instead for using QUICKSTRIKE during the MSTRIKE routine.
* '''Unfocused MSTRIKE when creatures equal or greater'''
** Number of creatures in room before you do an unfocused mstrike. Default is 2.
* '''MSTRIKE during cooldown'''
**Toggle for MSTRIKEing during its cooldown period
* '''Use QUICKSTRIKE for MSTRIKE'''
** Toggle for using QUICKSTRIKE when you MSTRIKE

===Ammo/Wands===
Here you find the settings to tell Bigshot where you keep all of your nifty wands and bolts and arrows. If your attack routine involves FIRE or WAND verbs, these fields must be set lest Bigshot hang up.
* find ammo in this container: - Leave BLANK if having Bigshot use FIRE without getting ammo out (Archery 2020 Update). Rather self explanatory, this field holds the location of your ammunition storage, be it a wand harness, a quiver or just your backpack.
* use this ammo type: - Leave BLANK to have Bigshot use FIRE without getting any ammo (Archery 2020 Update). Again, like specifying monsters, Bigshot is most sensative about the NOUNs that you use here. If you
* fresh wand container: - Bigshot looks in this container to find fesh wands to WAVE.
* dead wand container: - ...And then will deposit the used up wands in this container.
* use this wand type: - Here you specify which particular wand type you want to use. Bigshot will then pull only these kinds for WAVEing. Can have multiple types listed. Seperate each one with a comma. Example: "aquamarine wand, bloodwood wand, etc"
* Hide while waiting to pick up ammo - Checking this box will have Bigshot hide when gathering up your spent arrows and bolts.
* Use wands when out of mana - Bigshot will pull whatever wand you have specified in the use this wand type field and automatically stance to your attacking stance and WAVE your wand at valid targets until you are out of wands OR hit your resting conditions.

===MA Grouping===
* Enter the name of the looter in Head/Tail configuration

==Monitoring Tab==
* Monitor interaction - Running scripts automates most functions and happens rather mechanically. Most anyone can tell if you are scripting just by watching you. Checking this box will pop up a window whenever Bigshot thinks that someone or something is trying to interact with you.
* Engage deadman's switch - Selecting this option will force Bigshot to quit Gemstone IV when your character is at less than 40% health, allowing you to log back on and assess the situation manually later.
* Depart/rerun if dead - Enabling this option will force a DEPART, causing your character to wake up in the Temple with low spirit. Following this, Bigshot will re-start, starting a fresh hunt. If you do not have a Check Spirit value set in your Should_hunt? tab, you will start hunting without recuperating lost stats.
* Quiet followers - Followers will wait until leader is done with both actions and resting scripts to begin using their own.

==Frequently Asked Questions==
===How much does SimuCon cost?===
Attendance badges have previously cost $40 when purchased in advance. Tickets are available at the door, but will be more expensive. Please see the [[#Ticketing|Ticketing]] section for more details.

=== Where do I sign up?===

Ticketing will likely be handled via the play.net Box Office when available. Please see the [[#Ticketing|Ticketing]] section for more details.

===Who organizes SimuCon?===

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

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

SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2025 Schedule|2025 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Is SimuCon family friendly?===

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

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

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

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

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

===What should I wear?===

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

=== Is there a pool?===

YES, pack your bathing suit! The Sheraton Westport Plaza has an indoor pool, and their sister property the Sheraton Westport Chalet has an outdoor pool. The Chalet's outdoor pool is very close and is a popular day time destination for attendees. All facilities at both hotels are available to any guest staying at either hotel. There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any. It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.

==Visitor Information==
The convention is typically held in the St. Louis area, home of Simutronic's headquarters. While the host hotel may very, it is usually held at one of the many convention spaces at or near the Westport Plaza. For specific details on the official hotel, please see the below accommodations list. Also below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors.

Spell sever

DRIZZT-12:

{{TOCright}}
<section begin=description/>'''Spell sever''' is a balancing mechanic for hunting areas to manage the amount of outside spells a character can wear in the affected areas. Spell sever will strip any beneficial spells that a character does not know over a maximum allowed limit per area. The order in which the spells are stripped is in random order.

Spells in the [[Arcane]] circle (such as [[Spirit Guard (1712)]]) are not removed or counted by Spell sever.

{{Creature end}}<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>A grim gigas skald is not especially tall for one of her kind, but still stands just under two stories tall. She has a raw-boned face and a grim gaze. The robes she wears are of dusky golden boarskin and appear ceremonial, having been stitched with hundreds of beads made from semiprecious gems. A grim gigas skald wears a tremendous drinking horn at her belt.</pre>
==Hunting Strategies==
;General Advice
* Options like [[Hamstring]] or [[Brawling|unarmed combat]] essentially get around [[DS]], which is useful since skalds have pretty high DS even when forced into offensive stance and their unconventional lyre weapon can't be removed by typical tactics like [[Disarm Weapon]] or [[Vibration Chant (1002)]].
* [[Standard_maneuver_roll|SMR]]-based offense like [[Condemn (309)]], [[Earthen Fury (917)]], and [[Spike Thorn (616)]] works well against skalds.
;Clerics
* Since the strength of each damaging round of Condemn is based only on the initial roll, it can often be worthwhile to cast Condemn again before the first cast has finished if that first cast had a low enough endroll. This is especially true if the first cast isn't doing enough damage to keep them stunned, which is crucial since skalds' SMR attack can be lethal and their TD is sufficiently high that [[Soul Ward (319)]] isn't always reliable defense.
;Rangers
* Spike Thorn is an excellent option, but if the ranger is relatively untrained to make use of it because he has few ranks of [[Ranger Base]] and/or [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning|Summoning]] lore, or simply if mana needs to be conserved, then [[Animal Companion (630)|animal companions]] can also do significant damage to or even kill skalds affected by [[Wild Entropy (603)]] or [[Moonbeam (611)]].

==Description==
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>Sleek and sinuous, the patrician vampire cuts a lithe figure in fine court attire, her coat a tailor's masterwork adorned with glittering samite the color of moonglow. For all her finery, there is something otherworldly about her features: they are too fine and unsullied by blemishes, and there is an ashen pallor to her skin that cannot wholly be concealed by powder and paint. Thin white fangs peek from between her blanched lips, giving her the appearance of being on the edge of a knowing smirk.</pre>

A skull soars in, wreathed in cerulean flames. Moments later, the death knight's body marches in after it, and the skull hovers into place over the neckpiece of the knight's armor.

Judging from her height, the death knight is a mummified remnant of a powerful warrior, though the flesh has mostly come free from her animated bones. Now, her heavy armor is all that holds her skeletal form together. Her neck ends in a jagged ruin and her head is completely missing.

Roughly humanoid in shape though not in particulars, the grotesque has a bestial visage. The carved musculature of its back joins with two great wings that span wider than it is tall. From its head sprouts a quintet of rounded horns. Its eyes, a burning green, match the hue of a viridian soulstone embedded into the rock of its broad chest.</pre>

[[Warrior_Tricks#Appraise|Appraisal]]:

==Hunting Strategies==
===For Wizards===
The grotesque is surrounded by a barrier. Player research found, on average, that it takes 50 mana worth of [[bolt]]ing/[[AS]] spells to break the barrier. It is suggested to cast [[Elemental Disjunction (530)]] at it twice, followed by [[Hurl Boulder (510)]], as the most efficient way to "skin this beast". This was followed by spamming [[Minor Steam (1707)]]. Sometimes the beast has more than 50 mana in its barrier but never more than 60. This means after 50 mana, the boulder hits or the next cast minor steam will hit. It is wise to break this barrier ASAP, as the grotesque can quickly cause damage and/or death. Occasionally, the grotesque can replenish its barrier. This can be anywhere from a few mana to 50.

The message for hitting its barrier is:

<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>"You gesture at a horned basalt grotesque.
Your spell is deflected by the grotesque's barrier in a flash of orange light!

__TOC__

==Description==

'''Iron Skin''' transforms the caster's skin into a thick hide that acted like [[armor]]. <section begin=description /><includeonly>Iron Skin</includeonly><noinclude>It</noinclude> provides a bonus to [[AsG]] when wearing robes ([[AsG|AsG 2]]).<section end=description /> The caster gained the defensive benefits of wearing heavier armor without suffering the [[Armor#Action Penalties and Spell Hindrance|penalties]]. Wearing any armor heavier than robes (AsG 2) will completely nullify this effect!

* The base effect is to create a [[full leather]] equivalent (Armor Subgroup ([[AsG]]) 6), and can be increased to more powerful armor with training.
* The AsG increases by one according to seed 1 of one fifth the caster's ranks in [[Mental Lore, Transformation]].

[[Monk]]s also receive an innate bonus to the AsG of seed 1 of one fifth the caster's [[level]].
For example, a level 15 Monk (15/5 = 3, seed 1 gives a bonus of 2) with 5 ranks of Mental Lore, Transformation (5/5 = 1, seed 1 gives a bonus of 1) can cast Iron Skin to create the equivalent of leather breastplate (AsG 9 = 6 +2 + 1).

This spell is [[selfcast]] only.

__TOC__

==Description==

'''Iron Skin''' transforms the caster's skin into a thick hide that acted like [[armor]]. <section begin=description /><includeonly>Iron Skin</includeonly><noinclude>It</noinclude> provides a bonus to [[AsG]] when wearing robes ([[AsG|AsG 2]]).<section end=description /> The caster gained the defensive benefits of wearing heavier armor without suffering the [[Armor#Action Penalties and Spell Hindrance|penalties]]. Wearing any armor heavier than robes (AsG 2) will completely nullify this effect!

* The base effect is to create a [[full leather]] equivalent (Armor Subgroup ([[AsG]]) 6), and can be increased to more powerful armor with training.
* The AsG increases by one according to seed 1 of one fifth the caster's ranks in [[Mental Lore, Transformation]].

[[Monk]]s also receive an innate bonus to the AsG of seed 1 of one fifth the caster's [[level]].
For example, a level 15 Monk (15/5 = 3, seed 1 gives a bonus of 2) with 5 ranks of Mental Lore, Transformation (5/5 = 1, seed 1 gives a bonus of 1) can cast Iron Skin to create the equivalent of leather breastplate (AsG 9 = 6 +2 + 1).

This spell is [[selfcast]] only.

Platinum migration

2025-04-18T12:25:50Z

DRIZZT-12: /* Summary */ Silvers DO NOT auto-transfer as I learned from experience.

== Summary ==

On November 6th, 2024, GM Wyrom announced that official GameMaster support in the Platinum instance would end in Q1 of 2025. In order to provide Platinum players an opportunity to retain access to GM support, it was also announced that characters would be given an opportunity to migrate to the Prime instance.

Several details regarding the migration which were announced have needed to be adjusted to prevent those who actively began to game the system to obtain an unfair advantage. Below are the new details and an explanation of the process. Additional information regarding the transfer of Private Properties or additional perks for Platinum subscribers will be coming at a later date.

== What are the character requirements for migration? ==

To be eligible to migrate, a Platinum character must:
* be level 20 or higher
* be created prior to the announcement (11/06/2024 9:00 PM EST)
* be migrated into a Prime character of matching race and profession

== What are the restrictions on items being migrated? ==

Characters will be limited to bringing a total of 450 items each. In addition to being account bound, most items (gear, magic, enhancive or scripted) will also have a new restriction placed on them which requires that a character must have been migrated from Platinum in order to be used.

== What character data is being transferred? ==

An effort has been made to copy over as much data as possible. Players will have a limited set of character data options to choose from.

The following data sets may be toggled to select whether to keep the PRIME or the PLATINUM data associated with that set:

* '''Character Base:''' This setting determines the "essence" of the character and includes many individual data points, including stats, training, skills, spells as well as RP-specific choices such as age, gender, culture, and demeanor. This is the character which will receive 100% of the experience upon migration, subject to no penalty. The experience and ascension experience from the instance not chosen will receive a 1% reduction in experience per level over 20.
* '''Profession Guild:''' Guild membership, skills and associated data
* '''Society:''' Society membership, rank and associated data
* '''Citizenship:''' Citizenship status
* '''OSA:''' OSA and SHIP information
* '''Lumnis Schedule:''' Lumnis status and preferences
* '''Adventurer's Guild:''' Bounty data, including task history and points
* '''Customizations:''' Custom titles, swears, signature verbs and spell preps
* '''Artisan Skills:''' Training in various artisan and learned skills

'''Note:''' Event tickets, login boosts, and locker expansions will be the sum from both instances. '''Silvers DO NOT auto transfer.'''

== How will the process work? ==

=== In the Platinum Instance: ===

At a set date and time, a portal will be set up which will lead to the migration area. Eligible characters may pull a '''crate''' from the pile in which to store the items they wish to migrate with. This crate may be taken to various lockers and placed {{boldmono|AT FEET}}.

Once the crate is full, a character will bring themselves and the crate back to the migration room and {{boldmono|RETIRE}} (requires confirmation). At this point, the characters will be taken to an intermediate changing room. In this room, characters may {{boldmono|GET}} tattoos and {{boldmono|PUT}} them into their migration crate. Once this is done, you must {{boldmono|CLOSE}} the crate (requires confirmation) and {{boldmono|RETIRE}} a final time (requires confirmation). Upon final confirmation, the character will be taken to a final “purgatory” location. Logging into the character will not be restricted, however, no actions may be performed by the character after they have been retired.

All characters who wish to migrate in the first wave will be required to {{boldmono|RETIRE}} by a specific date and time. Once that date passes, any characters will need to wait until a later migration period is offered. There are no guarantees for how many or when future migration periods occur.

=== In the Prime Instance: ===

At a set date and time, a portal will be set up leading to the migration area. Characters may go to this area and {{boldmono|REDEEM}} to see a list of their retired Platinum characters which are eligible to be merged with the currently logged in character (race and profession). The Prime character MUST be able to handle the quantity of items in the migration crate.

Once a player {{boldmono|REDEEM <name>}} (requires confirmation), they will be taken to an intermediate changing room with their migration crate placed in their hand. Players must {{boldmono|OPEN}} their crate and take all items out including a '''features mask''' and a '''platinum multipass'''. This room will allow you to {{boldmono|GET}} any tattoos from the crate and {{boldmono|WEAR}} them. Before leaving this room, characters must have removed every item from their crate, worn any tattoos and have redeemed their multipass (details below).

=== Platinum Multipass: ===

Players may {{boldmono|ANALYZE}} the multipass to view the current character data settings. Once this multipass is {{boldmono|REDEEMed}} (requires confirmation), we are unable to reset to allow adjustments. You MUST make sure that the settings are as desired BEFORE trying to {{boldmono|REDEEM}} the multipass.

When a multipass is redeemed, it will disappear from the character's hands and the player may exit the migration room.
<pre{{log2}}>
>analyze my multipass
You analyze the platinum multipass and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This item is a Platinum Migration Multipass for use in transferring character data between instances.

------- Platinum Multipass Instructions -------

Migration Settings:
- You may toggle an individual setting by using the VERB in parentheses beside each.
- The instance selected for each determines which data will be used.

Character Base: This setting determines the "essence" of the character and includes many individual data points, including stats, training, skills, spells as well as RP-specific choices such as age, gender, culture, and demeanor. This is the character which will receive 100% of the experience upon migration, subject to no penalty. The experience and ascension experience from the instance not chosen will receive a 1% reduction in experience per level over 20.

Profession Guild: Guild membership, skills and associated data
Society: Society membership, rank and associated data
Citizenship: Citizenship status
OSA: OSA and SHIP information
Lumnis Schedule: Lumnis status and preferences
Adventurer's Guild: Bounty data, including task history and points
Customizations: Custom titles, swears, signature verbs and spell preps
Artisan Skills: Training in various artisan and learned skills

Note: Silvers, event tickets, login boosts and locker expansions will be the sum from both instances.

REDEEM to use the multipass on an eligible character. Confirmation is required.

** WARNING: Do not REDEEM until the migration settings are configured as desired. **

------- Platinum Character Information -------
Name: <name>
Level: <level>
Race: <race>
Profession: <profession>
Experience: <regular experience>
Ascension: <ascension experience>

-------- Current Migration Settings --------
Character Base: Platinum (PUSH)
Profession Guild: Platinum (PULL)
Society: Platinum (PROD)
Citizenship: Platinum (TURN)
OSA: Platinum (WAVE)
Lumnis Schedule: Platinum (POKE)
Adventurer's Guild: Platinum (PINCH)
Customizations: Platinum (CLENCH)
Artisan Skills: Platinum (TWIST)

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

==Frequently Asked Questions==
===How much does SimuCon cost?===
Attendance badges cost $40. Please see the [[#Ticketing|Ticketing]] section for more details.

===Where do I sign up?===

Ticketing will likely be handled via the play.net Box Office when available. Please see the [[#Ticketing|Ticketing]] section for more details.

===Who organizes SimuCon?===

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

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

SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2024 Schedule|2024 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Is SimuCon family friendly?===

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

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

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

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

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

===What should I wear?===

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

===Is there a pool?===

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

==Visitor Information==
The convention is typically held in the St. Louis area, home of Simutronic's headquarters. While the host hotel may very, it is usually held at one of the many convention spaces at or near the Westport Plaza. For specific details on the official hotel, please see the below accommodations list. Also below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors. All distances calculated from the host hotel.

Fixskills

2024-05-08T20:01:13Z

DRIZZT-12:

'''Fixskills''' is a term generally used to refer to the adjustment of skills without [[skill migration|migration]] time. This includes using the verb FIXSKILLS or a potion, as detailed below. The process will instantly migrate your training changes as well as those of the [[Player System Manager]] like CMAN, Ascension, Shield, and Armor skills.

'''Characters below [[level]] 20 do not need to use fixskills''' because they can adjust skills an unlimited number of times via {{boldmono|[[GOALS (verb)|GOALS]]}} with almost instantaneous migration. When characters are close to reaching level 20 (at your first tick taking you below 1000 till level 20), it is required to confirm that your skills are set to desired values. Characters will not be able to earn any additional experience until the player has confirmed the skill confirmation. Your ability to play while the experience block is active will not last forever and eventually you will be transported into a lounge and forced to confirm your skills. While in the lounge you cannot do anything else but adjust and confirm your skills, this includes not being able to check your own stats with {{boldmono|INFO}}. (It may be possible to confirm your skills and run directly to check in to adjust your stats if you have not used your 5 stat changes). Do not use the {{boldmono|FIXSKILLS}} verb during this period as you're still below 20 and able to adjust freely.

{{TOC limit|2}}
==FIXSKILLS (verb)==
The {{boldmono|FIXSKILLS}} verb is used to instantly migrate any changes in skill training, negating any [[skill migration]] time. Skills should be set to the desired level before using the fixskills. This can be done using {{boldmono|[[GOALS (verb)|GOALS]]}} or by checking in at a local inn.

All characters are created with one fixskills command use available, and every character on a paying subscription account (i.e. not F2P) is granted use of a fixskills through the verb each year on '''May 20'''. If the player already has one available, they will not receive an extra one, so there is an incentive to use it before it is wasted, unless you're completely happy with your current training.

Additionally, a fixskills use is granted after using a [[fixstats|FIXSTATS]] potion, so it is recommended to use the existing fixskills (if available and if necessary) before drinking the fixstats potion since it's not possible to bank a second use.

With fixskills available:

<pre{{log2}}>
>fixskills
The FIXSKILLS command will allow you to instantly set your skills to match your goals. Use the GOALS command to set your skills to your desired values FIRST!

You may view FIXSKILLS HELP for more information on this option.

To use FIXSKILLS, you must type FIXSKILL CONFIRM within the next 30 seconds.

*** No additional options will be granted outside of normal parameters for misuse. ***

** Make sure your skills are set how you want them with GOALS before using FIXSKILLS CONFIRM **

>fixskills confirm
Setting all skills to match current goals... COMPLETE!

Without fixskills available:

<pre{{log2}}>
Sorry, you have already used your one-time fix skill option. In a hurry? Check out the Fixskill Potion in the SimuCoins Store that will instantly migrate all your skills!

==Fixskills Potion==
Additional fixskills may also be purchased with 250,000 [[bounty point]]s through the [[Adventurer%27s_Guild#Treasure_System|Adventurer's Guild]] or with 4,500 [[SimuCoin]]s. The latter option often goes on sale if you're willing to wait, and both can be purchased from other players as well.

When purchased through the Adventurer's Guild, a fixskills potion comes in the form of '''a hazy blue potion'''. When purchased through the SimuCoin store, it comes in the form of '''a dark blue potion'''.

<pre{{log2}}>
>drink my pot
As you raise the '''dark blue potion''' to your lips, you stop for a few seconds to ponder the consequences of drinking it.

[Drinking from the potion will instantly migrate all your skills to their goal levels. In order for this to function properly, you must follow these steps:

Step 1: Enter GOALS in the command prompt to open the Skill Manager (If you are unable to use the Skill Manager, CHECK IN to the local inn and complete this process via the Character Manager).

Step 2: Adjust your skill ranks in the Skill Manager as you see fit. Click the APPLY button and go back to the game screen.

Step 3: Once you have determined that your skills are set up exactly how you want them, drink the potion.

If you have followed these steps and wish to instantly migrate your skills now. Please DRINK from your potion again within the next 30 seconds.]

Roundtime: 3 sec.

R>drink my pot
As you drink, you feel warm sensation build within your mind. Time begins to speed into a blur as days pass by in seconds. Your memories start to reshape themselves as your knowledge and skills bend from what is to what you desire. Just as you are about to be overwhelmed by all that you feel, the warm sensation passes and you realize that barely a moment has passed since you drank from the potion. Your experiences while under its effects leave you feeling changed, however.

That was the last drop.
The dark blue potion shatters into twinkling dust.
Roundtime: 3 sec.

==Fixskills Primer==

As mentioned above, all non-F2P characters are granted use of a fixskills through the verb each year on May 20. If a character currently has an available use of the fixskills verb, it will be effectively lost on May 20 (this does not apply to potions).

For the indecisive, the following steps and tips have been provided to drop all, or almost all skills to zero.

=== Caveats by Profession===
*'''[[Warrior]]s''': If you need to preserve a weapon bond, but want to change other [[Combat Maneuvers]],{{boldmono| [[CMAN]] UNLEARN }}the skills no longer wanted. If all other combat maneuver skills are unlearned, one should follow the table to keep ''CMan'' ranks at certain levels to preserve the indicated Weapon [[Specialization]] (WSpec) ranks along with five [[Weapon Bonding]] Ranks:
::{| {{prettytable|text-align:center;}}
|- bgcolor=lightblue
!CMan<br>Ranks||Weapon [[Specialization]]<br>Ranks||[[Weapon Bonding]]<br>Ranks
|-
|42 || 3 || 5
|-
|50 || 4 || 5
|-
|60 || 5 || 5
|}
::(Most warriors, except mutants, should immediately put CMans back to 2x.)

* '''[[Paladin]]s''': Paladin spells should be kept at 29 ranks or above to maintain a bond.

===Steps===
# {{boldmono|[[CHECK IN]] }}at the front desk of an [[inn]].
# Choose option 3 ("Adjust Skill Goals")
# Set everything to 0 by entering 1 -999, 2 -999, etc, or run this command line script using [[Lich (software)]]:
#* <CODE>;exec (1..50).each{|ix| fput "#{ix} -999"}</CODE>
#* Remember if you need to preserve skills as mentioned in point 1, set them to the correct number at this time, not to zero, or go back and set them now.
#* Nothing actually '''saves''' until Done is selected, make adjustments as needed.
# Enter D for "Done" to save changes.
# Choose option 4 ("Done") to exit the character manager.
# Type {{boldmono|FIXSKILLS}} and follow the instructions to make all changes take effect.
# If it wasn't done prior to checking in, {{boldmono|CMAN UNLEARN}} the skills that need to be zeroed out.
#* Or give it a few minutes and wait for {{boldmono|CMAN}} to finish self-adjusting. This will save the effort of repeatedly typing {{boldmono|UNLEARN}}.

Once this is done, use the {{boldmono|[[GOALS (verb)|GOALS]]}} verb and the web-based interface to add the skills as normal. (Or use the character manager again.)

Resist Nature (620)

2023-10-16T05:43:53Z

DRIZZT-12: /* Locations */

{{spell
| name = Resist Nature
| number = 620
| mnemonic = RESISTNATURE
| base_dur = 1200s (group version)
| add_dur = 60s (group version)
| span = [[Refreshable]] (group version)<br>[[Stackable]] (self version)

}}
__TOC__
'''Resist Nature''' allows the [[Ranger]] to cast a magical shield that provides resistance to a chosen element (heat, cold, steam, nature, or lightning) equal to 20% + 1% per 4 Blessings ranks (50% maximum at 120 ranks via [[enhancive]]s/[[Ascension]]). The duration of this benefit is 1200 + 60s per Ranger spell rank, but the effect will quickly fade for any member who leaves the Ranger's group. The amount of resistance that can be absorbed by the shield before it fades from the group is equal to 100 + ([[Spiritual Mana Control]] skill / 2) [[#Resistance and Mana Absorb Mechanics |DSW]]. Re-casting the spell will replenish this resistance pool.

The spell also allows a Ranger to infuse a prepared wearable magic item created by [[Imbue (614)]] with resistance to a chosen element (heat, cold, steam, nature, or lightning). This item confers the elemental resistance to its bearer. Each tier of Resist Nature bestows a 5% resistance to the element, with a maximum of 5 tiers (25%). The affected item will remain [[imbed|imbeddable/imbedded]], and will no longer crumble when its charges are depleted. An item with no charges may also be re-imbedded with a different spell with the use of a [[grot t'kel potion]]. A character may only have one Resist Nature item active at a time.

;Success Formula
{{math|Ranger Level + 2*WIS bonus + 2*INT bonus + .75*Survival Ranks + MIU ranks + 1.5*Ranger Spell ranks + Harness Power ranks + SMC ranks + SL:B Lore ranks + 20 if outside - Tier Modifier - Previous Resistances Modifier + d100 > 100}}
*''Tier Modifier'' is equal to 100 * the '''target''' tier of the attempt.
*''Previous Resistances Modifier'' is equal to 150 * the number of existing T5 resistances on the item.

;Interactions
Resistance provided from a Resist Nature magic item will fully stack with the group version of the spell, up to a maximum of 50%. Resistance provided from armor or cloaks will not stack with either version of Resist Nature – only the strongest resistance will apply. The chance for the item to negate damage will occur regardless if it is providing the highest resistance or not, with one exception -- Resist Nature magic items will not provide ''any'' benefits if their bearer is also wearing armor that has resistance granted by the old Resist Nature. It is advised to remove the legacy Resist Nature from your armor if you are also using a Resist Nature magic item.

== Usage ==
;Group version
* {{boldmono|[[INCANT]] 620 ELEMENT}}, where {{mono|ELEMENT}} is the type of elemental damage you wish to protect against (heat/cold/steam/nature/lightning).

See the [[#Process|Process]] section below for more detailed usage when using Resist Nature to grant elemental resistance to an imbued item.

== Mana Control Benefits ==
Each rank of training in [[Spiritual Mana Control]] contributes directly to the item cast success formula noted above. It also factors into the amount of resistance absorbed by the shield provided by the group spell version, the resolution of which uses {{math|skill/2}} (not ranks).

== Lore Benefits ==
Each rank of training in [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] contributes directly to the item cast success formula noted above, as well as increasing the resistance applied by the group spell version at a rate of 1% per 4 ranks.
:{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
!align="right"|Spiritual Lore, Blessings ranks||0||20||40||60||80||100||120
|-
|align="right"|Total resistance applied<br>(group spell version)||20||25||30||35||40||45||50
|}

== Resistance and Mana Absorb Mechanics ==
First, a definition of Damage Severity Weighting (DSW): This is a term that describes how critical damage is dealt throughout GemStone. Simply put, it’s the critical ranking system drawn out to 5 points per crit rank (rank 0-9 mapping to ~0-50 DSW). The Combat Effectiveness Rating (CER) numbers in use with [[Weighting]] and [[Padding]] services are on the same scale.

When the player is struck by damage of the resistant type and the magic item is imbedded with a spell, it absorbs an amount of mana equal to the DSW resisted (i.e. up to 25% of the incoming DSW). Absorbed mana will convert to spell charges based on the cost of the imbedded spell, not to exceed the maximum mana capacity of the item.

Additionally, there is a percentage chance that the damage will be entirely negated, equal to the tier of the resistance (maximum base of 5%). The negation chance is further increased by any additional resistances that have been applied to the item equal to resistance tier / 2.

== Sources of Elemental Damage ==
Resist Nature items will reduce damage inflicted by attacks of its element type. What follows is a short list of examples where damage can be mitigated by an appropriate Resist Nature item. This list is not intended to be comprehensive; you can generally expect a Resist Nature item to universally mitigate damage of its associated type regardless of source.

;Nature
*Offensive Ranger spells (Wild Entropy, Sun Burst, Moonbeam, Spike Thorn, Nature's Fury (all damage types))
*[[Sandstorm]]

;Fire
*Fire/heat flares (from weapons/armor)
*Fire-based bolt and ball spells (e.g. Minor Fire, Major Fire, Fire Spirit)
*Other fire-based spells and effects (e.g Immolation, Weapon Fire, Earthen Fury, Dark Catalyst)
*Fire-based creature attacks (e.g. Lava Golem hurl attacks, Fire Mage death throes)

;Cold
*Cold/ice flares (from weapons/armor)
*cold- and ice-based bolt and ball spells (e.g. Major Cold, Minor Cold)
*Other cold-based spells and effects (e.g. Major E-wave (ice), Earthen Fury (cold))
*Environmental effects (Pinefar/Icemule Trace/Gossamer Valley/Hinterwilds)

;Steam:
*Steam flares (from weapons/armor)
*steam-based bolt spells (e.g. Minor Steam)
*Steam-based environmental effects (e.g. Greymist area effect, damage from the columns in Luukos' Temple)

;Lightning:
*Lightning flares (from weapons/armor)
*Lightning-based bolt and ball spells (e.g. Minor Shock, Major Shock)
*Call Lightning

== Process ==
As the Ranger gains experience, they also earn Nature's Grace points at a 1:1 rate. A total of 50k Nature's Grace can be earned per week, banking up to an overall total of 200k. Nature's Grace points can be spent to attempt to apply resistance to an Imbued magic item, at a cost of 50k/75k/100k/125k/150k based on how many tiers of the spell are currently applied.

First, the Ranger must obtain a resistance potion, as outlined in the section on potions below. The Ranger may then {{boldmono|[[CAST]]}} Resist Nature at the magic item to determine the number of potions needed, then {{boldmono|[[POUR]]}} the potion on the item to prepare it. At this point they may {{boldmono|[[CAST]]}} Resist Nature at the item for a difficulty check and finally {{boldmono|[[CHANNEL]]}} the spell at the item to attempt to apply the resistance.

The number of doses of the potion required is equal to the tier of the current attempt. If successful, the item then gains a permanent 5% resistance to the chosen element, with a maximum of 25% resistance after 5 successful tiers. A failure will result in a loss of 10% of the points of Nature’s Grace required for the attempt.

An item that has reached tier 5 resistance may have another resistance added, but the difficulty of the project will increase by a flat amount per previous resistance.

Using a larkspur potion on an item affected by Resist Nature will remove the most recent tier applied. If only multiple tier 5 resistances remain, the user will be able to choose which to degrade by {{boldmono|[[TURN]]ing}} the potion.

=== Potions ===
Potions specific to each resistance type can be made by dropping off forageable plants corresponding to the desired damage resistance at the local herbalist NPC found in weathered shacks throughout the world. Each dose of a resistance potion requires five of the same plant. The cost of brewing a potion is 50,000 silver per dose, and the potions do not expire.

NOTE: You must bring a resistance up entirely to T5 before adding a new resistance.

The chance to negate is equal to the current resistance Tier (1-5) that matches the damage type you are receiving, plus half of other Tiers present on your item.

== Suffusion ==
Nature’s Grace may be {{boldmono|[[SUFFUSE]]d}} at a rate of 1 point of energy per 1000 Nature's Grace. Each point of suffused energy used in a Resist Nature infusion attempt is equivalent to a +1 bonus.

== Titles ==
The following post-name [[Title system | titles]] are available under the SKILL category:
*Grace of Nature - Unlocked for Rangers who have successfully spent 50 full weeks' worth of resources on Resist Nature.
*Arboreal Arcanist - Unlocked for Rangers who have successfully cast a fifth tier 5 resistance on a Resist Nature item.

== Additional Information ==
;Legacy Armor Resistance
Armor currently affected by temporary Resist Nature resistance will continue to function, but their charges will be depleted based on the amount of DSW resisted, rather than per instance. For example, if an incoming instance of fire damage with DSW 20 (rank 4 crit) strikes armor with 60% heat resistance, it will lose 20 * .60 = 12 Resistance Life while reducing the damage to DSW 8 (rank 1 crit).

;Capacity Re-Calculation
An item made resistant by 620 may have its mana capacity re-calculated based on the Ranger’s current training by {{boldmono|[[CHANNEL]]ing}} Imbue (614) at it. Only the Ranger who originally created the item is eligible for this renewal, and the item must be depleted of charges before undergoing the process. The cost of renewal is 25,000 Nature’s Grace.

;Lich Casting
If using Lich, you can specify the element you wish to cast by setting the UserVar <code>resist_element</code> via the syntax: <code>;vars set resist_element=<ELEMENT></code>. Elements supported are Nature, Lightning, Steam, Fire, Heat, Ice, and Cold.

{{TOCright}} The '''mail system''' allows characters to send in-game messages and items to each other even while the other person is offline. Mail can also be sent with a payment-on-delivery designation. In order to mail something you need a stamp and either an envelope or a package. There is a cost for the stamp, for the envelope or package, and a per pound cost. When requesting payment-on-delivery, there is an additional tax that the sender must pay.

Whoever is being sent a piece of mail will get a message:

<pre{{log2}}>A courier hurries over to you and says, "I heard the post office might have a package inbound for you. You may want to check and see if it's been delivered yet."</pre>
==Steps==

Visit the [[:Category:Post offices|post office]] [[Mail_system#Locations|located closest to you]].

# Buy a stampbook. {{boldmono|PULL}} a stamp from the stampbook.
# Buy a package or envelope.
# Put a stamp on the package or envelope.
# Put something in the package or envelope.
# Close the package or envelope.
# {{boldmono|MAIL}}.

==Costs==
Using the mail system has at least three costs every time: stamp, envelope or package, and per pound fee. There is additional cost if purchasing wax to apply or if requesting payment on delivery.

Mail system

2023-03-05T17:03:47Z

DRIZZT-12: /* Locations */ Plat Lich ID added

{{TOCright}} The '''mail system''' allows characters to send in-game messages and items to each other even while the other person is offline. Mail can also be sent with a payment-on-delivery designation. In order to mail something you need a stamp and either an envelope or a package. There is a cost for the stamp, for the envelope or package, and a per pound cost. When requesting payment-on-delivery, there is an additional tax that the sender must pay.

Whoever is being sent a piece of mail will get a message:

<pre{{log2}}>A courier hurries over to you and says, "I heard the post office might have a package inbound for you. You may want to check and see if it's been delivered yet."</pre>
==Steps==

Visit the [[:Category:Post offices|post office]] [[Mail_system#Locations|located closest to you]].

# Buy a stampbook. {{boldmono|PULL}} a stamp from the stampbook.
# Buy a package or envelope.
# Put a stamp on the package or envelope.
# Put something in the package or envelope.
# Close the package or envelope.
# {{boldmono|MAIL}}.

==Costs==
Using the mail system has at least three costs every time: stamp, envelope or package, and per pound fee. There is additional cost if purchasing wax to apply or if requesting payment on delivery.

===Stamps===
:Stampbooks must be purchased and used to control the subsequent cost of components when mailed as well as the speed of delivery. Each stampbook contains 20 stamps. See the [[Mail_system#Costs|table]] for costs. Having stamps separate allows for less unwieldy commands in the mail system and more flavor as stamps can be customized.

:;Messaging

===Signets and Wax===
:At this time, the mail system does not work with existing waxes and [[signet]] rings. A work around, however, is to use all of your existing stationery pieces and place them into a package and send them that way.

Teras Isle

2023-01-18T01:27:24Z

DRIZZT-12: /* Travel to Teras Isle */ Platinum Lich room.

[[File:Teras_Isle_Regional_final.jpg|thumb|400px|Reference map of Teras Isle, surrounding waters, and Kharam Dzu. Prepared for the Borthuum Mining Company by Alosaka's player.]]

'''Teras Isle''', home to the [[dwarven]] settlement of [[Kharam Dzu]], is located to the west off the coast of the continent of [[Elanthia]] in the [[Great Western Sea]].

The name of Teras' great volcanic peak was dwarven for "Stormbrow" as it was named in 4997 when the uninhabited island was discovered by [[Ghorsa Borthuum]] of the [[Gulroten Clan]]. Ghorsa had undertaken a journey in hope to find the lost [[Turamzzyrian Empire|Turamzzyrian]] province of [[Kezmon Isle]], and to escape the threat of [[human]] expansion to the north. Instead, by travel of [[Airship#Behind the Scenes|hot air balloon]], they discovered what became known as Teras Isle.

Excited by the apparent large reservoirs of gems and metals on the volcanic island, they quickly established the town of Kharam Dzu. Soon after, a human merchant ship, driven off course by [[Krolvin]] attack discovered the dwarven settlement. The [[Borthuum Mining Company]] promptly went into business with the humans, specifically for the rare material of [[glaes]]. It was from the humans that the dwarves bought the ship which became known as the [[Glaesen Star]].

On Jastatos the 15th, the underwater temple to the great water [[elemental]] [[Nelemar]] was discovered by a band of scholars searching for the [[Fier'Dracus]] gem.

==Travel to Teras Isle==
{{main|Glaesen Star}}
The town of Kharam Dzu on Teras Isle is accessible by boarding the [[Glaesen Star]] ship in [[Wehnimer's Landing]] (Lich Room #8898). {{#section:Glaesen Star|schedule}} Loading begins fifteen minutes prior. Tickets cost 10,000 silver and must be purchased in the Wehnimer's Travel Office which is located right outside of the Glaesen Star's dock on the south wharf (Lich Room #8899, #1871 in Platinum). Once in the office,{{boldmono| [[BUY]] TICKET}}.

==Behind the Scenes==
Teras Isle was released in early 1996. It was the first town expansion to the game since [[Kelfour's Landing]] was introduced in December 1989. [[Icemule Trace]] and [[River's Rest]] followed in the subsequent year, while [[Pinefar]] and [[Solhaven]] were opposite ends of 1998, and the [[Elven Nations]] was released throughout the second half of 2001. [[Cysaegir]] was the last town expansion in July 2004. [[Squire's Bluff]] was the original town of GemStone ][ in April 1988, but was removed in the transition to GemStone III. It is supposedly the abandoned village on the trail to [[Vornavis]]. There was a map in the [[Abandoned Inn]].
===History===
The early work on what would eventually become Teras Isle was done by [[Maleskari#Behind the Scenes|Kygar]] and Fawn. It was developed on the premise of being [[Uman Isle]] in the southern hemisphere of [[Shadow World]], which has a dormant volcano and extensive deposits of the volcanic glass now called [[glaes]]. It was supposed to be very difficult to reach for [[flows of essence]] and other navigational reasons. The project was put aside in favor of other issues, but was revived when the game population rapidly expanded on AOL following the end of the [[ICE age|I.C.E. Age]], forming a lot of pressure for older high level characters to get away from the inexperienced new players. The Dwarves were added as flavor and the place was designed instead as Teras Isle, located off the same continent, making it much closer to the Landing than Uman Isle.

One can find information about the release of Teras Isle on the [[/saved posts|saved posts]] page for this article.

This lore represents a character's knowledge and understanding of various prayers, rituals, and invocations used to beseech the lesser and greater spirits. Those with knowledge of blessings will also earn the power of spells cast upon them as opposed to only magic cast by them.

== [[Minor Spiritual]]==

;*[[Disease Resist (104)]] and [[Poison Resist (105)]]
:For both spells, training in Blessings provides a bonus to your second warding roll. The bonus starts at +2 with 1 rank and reaches +38 at 190 ranks. This is a seed 1 summation (see the [[Summation Chart]]).

;*[[Spirit Warding II (107)]]
:Training in Blessings allows the spell to occasionally provide a +25 TD bonus to a warding attempt. The chance for the bonus starts at 1% with 10 ranks and reaches 12% with 186 ranks (a seed 10 summation).

;*[[Fasthr's Reward (115)]]
:Training in Blessings provides a flat bonus to this spell's chance to activate. The bonus is 1% at 1 rank and reaches 19% at 190 ranks (a seed 1 summation).

;*[[Spirit Strike (117)]]
:Training in Blessings provides a chance for this spell to remain active for an additional attack. The chance for the first additional attack starts at 3% with 5 ranks and increases by 3% at each step of a seed 5 summation, reaching 48% at 200 ranks. Each additional attack halves the chance for the spell to remain active.

;*[[Lesser Shroud (120)]]
:Sixty ranks in Blessings allow a caster to bestow this spell on another target for two minutes.

== [[Major Spiritual]] ==

;*[[Manna (203)]]

;*[[Tend Lore (206)]]
:Training in Blessings increases the number of [[First Aid]] ranks granted. The increase is +1 per step of a seed 2 summation.

;*[[Untrammel (209)]]
:With ten ranks of Blessings, Untrammel can be self-cast as a persistent effect, providing the caster with an additional warding or maneuver roll against webbing attempts.

;*[[Bravery (211)]]
:Fifty ranks of Blessings allow a caster to cast this spell on their entire group for one minute. The caster still receives the full duration.

;*[[Heroism (215)]]
:Sixty-five ranks of Blessings allow a caster to cast this spell on their entire group for one minute. The caster still receives the full duration. In addition, the AS bonus granted to the caster increases by 1 point per ten ranks. For every additional +3 bonus, the mana cost of the spell increases by 1 MP.

;*[[Spell Shield (219)]]
:Eighty ranks of Blessings allow a caster to cast this spell on their entire group for two minutes. The caster still receives the full duration.

== [[Cleric Base]] ==

;*[[Benediction (307)]]
:Training in Blessings provides a chance for this spell to provide a +15 AS bonus on a given attack. The chance is 1% with 6 ranks and reaches 15% at 195 ranks. This is a seed 6 summation.

;*[[Relieve Burden (314)]]
:Training in Blessings increases the number of silvers (including those inside boxes) that this spell allows you to carry without burden by 2,000 per step of a seed 5 summation. The mana cost of the spell is also increased by 1 MP per 4,000 additional silvers. Training in Blessings also further reduces the weight of corpses upon whom this spell is cast, making them easier to drag.

;*[[Remove Curse (315)]]
:Training in Blessings increases the effectiveness of this spell.

;*[[Soul Ward (319)]]
:Training in Blessings provides for a chance to negate subsequent attacks.

;*[[Holy Receptacle (325)]]
:Training in Blessings increases the chance of success when blessing a spell into a gem. This effect caps out at 21 ranks, providing a bonus of about 7-9%. In addition, five ranks in Blessings are required to utilize the first three tiered effects of this spell, while ten ranks are required for the final two. When blessing [[Chrism]] into a gem, additional ranks of Blessings beyond the required ten increase the amount of experience retained by 5% per step of a seed 1 summation, beginning with 5% extra (55% total) at 11 ranks of Blessings, and reaching a maximum of 50% extra (100% total experience retention) at 65 ranks.

;*[[Symbol of the Proselyte (340)]]

Enchanting potion

2022-03-15T21:10:21Z

DRIZZT-12:

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

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

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

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

==Tempering Potions==

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

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

You have 3 doses left.

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

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

=== Messaging ===

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

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

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

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

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

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

The reason for this is so that if you link a title in the middle of a word, the link looks appropriate without any extra massaging.
Similarly, article names should be singular (Rogue instead of Rogues) unless the item being discussed is always plural (such as the Elven Nations)."

The lost soul appears as the flickering shade of a normal humanoid, his face contorted into a soundless, agonized scream. His flesh slowly melts off his frame, bubbling, dripping to the ground, and his clothing turns into rags, dropping off in shreds, until nothing is left but a skeleton with hate-filled red eyes. Slowly the flesh reforms, the clothing regains its form, all in nearly reverse order, until the lost soul is once again whole. Then, horribly, he begins to deteriorate again.?<sup><sup>[http://www.play.net/gs4/info/bestiary/]</sup></sup>

The heavily armored snow madrinol moves ponderously through the area searching for easy prey to consume. Plates of extremely thick slate grey skin cover this quadruped on nearly all its exterior surfaces except its long, leathery tail and cupped, upright ears. Tufts of off-white fur protrude between the plates, however, giving the impression that the madrinol is wearing pieces of armor rather than a total covering. Unique to the snow madrinol seems to be its flared, circular hooves. Sharp claws protrude from all sides of each hoof, allowing the creature to grip the ice or frozen ground for greater stability.<sup><sup>[http://www.play.net/gs4/info/bestiary/]</sup></sup>

==Hunting strategies==

The Snow Madrinol is the weakest of the three inhabitants of [[Gossamer Valley]], with a lower AS than the [[glacial morph]], and a maneuver that pales in comparison to the [[animated slush]]'s [[slush wall]] attack. Unlike the other two, madrinols are not immune to stun or other disabling techniques, and can be dealt with using spells such as [[Blood Burst (701)]] or [[Bone Shatter (1106)]], which are effective only on "living" creatures. They have an average AS, and while they possess rather strong natural armor, hindering melee attacks, they possess no other particular defensive strengths. The only maneuver they possess is the Tail Sweep, which can inflict up to 20 [[RT]], though it is often easily avoided. A single madrinol is likely incapable of killing someone by tail sweeping him or her, but the true danger of this maneuver comes into play when used around the other inhabitants of Gossamer Valley. The animated slush has a plethora of dangerous attacks which will be especially dangerous on a proned individual, while the glacial morph's high AS and high DF weapon base can quickly dispatch anyone that they can hit.

==Other information==

Snow madrinols have skin that is the equivalent of AsG 15 armor, augmented chain. They drop a variety of fairly high quality gems as well.

The stone mastiff is a huge grey dog that seems to be formed of living stone. The mastiff is rectangular in shape, and the length of the mastiff from forechest to rear is around five feet. Massive and heavy boned, with a powerful muscle structure, this stone mastiff presents a formidable foe.<sup><sup>[http://www.play.net/gs4/info/bestiary/]</sup></sup>

==Hunting strategies==
An absolute must hunt for [[sorcerer]]s. Be sure to take a [[wizard]] with you and the pair of you can wreck havoc on the mastiffs. Most of the time you can single shot these with [[Dark Catalyst (719)|Dark Catalyst]]. So be prepared to have your wizard friend to send you lots of [[mana]].

Forging

2011-03-22T22:35:57Z

DRIZZT-12: /* Weapon Glyphs Available */

'''Forging''' is the [[Artisan skill]] related to the creation of weapons. The skill includes [[crafting]], forging [[Edged Weapons|edged weapons]], forging [[Blunt Weapons|blunt weapons]], forging [[Polearm Weapons|polearms]], forging [[Two-Handed Weapons|two-handed weapons]], and forging [[brawling]] weapons.

==Forging Process==
The forging process consists of, essentially, three parts. Crafting the handle, forging the blade, then combining the two.

===Crafting the Handle===
Any wood or metal can be used when crafting the handle. Generally, using a block of wood would be ideal because wood is very cheap compared to metal. Basically, to craft the handle, while holding the medium in your left hand, STARE at the appropriate handle-glyph, available in your local forging shop. Once the medium is "scribed" with the appropriate glyph, [[TURN (verb)|TURN]] the grinder. There are four possible outcomes:
*Major failure - The entire medium is destroyed. You are left with a toothpick.
*Minor failure - Try again. The weight of the medium is reduced slightly, which means you may need more medium.
*Success - You've a crafted handle. Not great, but functional.
*Major success - This can become a part of a perfect weapon, with the right amount of luck.

Upon completion of the grinding portion of the forging process, you must polish the finished piece by [[LEAN (verb)|LEANing]] on the polisher.

===Forging the Blade===
Only metal can be used to forge a blade. To do so, place water or oil in the trough, then scribe the medium similar to the grinding process using a blade-glyph. Once the medium is scribed with the appropriate glyph, put the medium in your left hand and a forging-hammer in your right hand, then [[GET (verb)|GET]] the tongs. There are five possible outcomes:
*Continue working - You've more work to do on this part. It means nothing, it just takes longer to create larger pieces.
*Major failure - The entire medium is destroyed. You are left with nothing.
*Minor failure - Try again. The weight of the medium is reduced slightly, which means you may need more medium.
*Success - You've a forged blade. Not great, but functional.
*Major success - This can become a part of a perfect weapon, with the right amount of luck.

As with crafting, you must polish the finished piece by LEANing on the polisher.

===Combining the Pieces===
After the blade and handle have been polished, hold both pieces, the blade in your left hand, and TURN the vise. There are four outcomes:
*Major failure - The pieces are combined, albeit at a severely reduced quality.
*Minor failure - Merely try again.
*Success - The pieces are combined. You will not get a perfect weapon from this result, but if the two pieces going into the vise are "best" pieces, the resulting weapon will be a superior weapon.
*Major Success - The pieces are combined at increased quality. If the two pieces were "best" pieces, the resulting weapon will be a perfect weapon, provided that you are a master of crafting. If the two pieces are not "best" pieces, then the resulting weapon will be a superior weapon.

After this step, the blade is complete. The weapon will be a <quality> <material>-handled <material> <weapon>. The handle portion of the short can be removed using the polisher (LEAN ON POLISHER WITH CLEAN).

===Other Tools===
*Slab cutter (Crafting Room) - Used to divide the medium into several pieces. Since a successful forging attempt uses the entire portion of medium, this cuts down on waste. To do so, PULL slab-cutter, after PUSHing to adjust the cut size, or POKEing to reset it to cut the medium in half. To find out how much medium to use, MEASURE the glyph.

==Learning to Forge==
Learning to forge involves actually doing it. There are six skills that make up the forging Artisan Guild Skill: One-handed edged, two-handed weapons, brawling, polearms, blunt weapons, and crafting. For each skill, there are 500 ranks, and for each attempt at using each individual skill, there is a chance approximately equal to the following:
(500 - RANKS + "[[LOG]] Bonus")/500 = %chance
Given this, about 483 ranks is the half-way mark as far as average number of attempts it takes to mastery. Note that it has been said that Logic plays a part in determining if a character learns from an attempt at forging or not. The average number of attempts required to master a guild skill is 3400 attempts. If it takes 3 minutes per forging attempt, this translates to about 170 hours of doing nothing but forging in order to master the skill. Any use of the skills is counted as an attempt at forging, and it is possible to master by forging the simplest weapons from bronze and wood.

<b>"LOG Bonus" in this context is not your stat bonus, but a possible small adder (assumed +1 limit) for those with the correct amount of logic bonus, assumed to be +20.</b>

==Messaging==
Knowing the messages when forging is a very good way to try and keep track of how many ranks you have gained so far so that you know how close you are to mastering. It is very helpful for the long times spent to gain the last 16 ranks. Another good thing about knowing the messages is when you want to save the perfect parts created to attempt to make a perfect weapon.<br>
*The messaging for having gained a rank when forging/crafting is: <b>Aha, you learned something that time.</b><br>
*The messaging for having created a perfect part when crafting a hammer is: <b>You smile as you realize that this piece is the very best that you can create.</b>
*Perfect steel awl-pike messaging: <b>You finish your work and step back, turning the steel awl-pike in your hands. You smile as you realize that this piece is probably the best that you can create.</b>

==Bonuses for Forging==
Per Cirakin (aka JoshT), the following stat bonuses (after enhancives) affect your chances for creating an item.

==Usefulness of Forging==
The real benefit to a perfectly forged weapon is the ability to enchant or bless the weapon, which is not available to any weapon with weighting. Given the premium benefits as well as the limited merchants with the service, flares can also be added to a perfectly forged weapon, making the weapon the best choice for an upgrade in the land of [[Elanthia]].

Also, as AvD's are increased at a flat rate as well, it is therefore similar to increasing the enchant, slightly. Below is a listing of the quality ranks, and their bonuses.

*'''Perfect''' - 6% bonus to DF/Breakage, +3 AvD
*'''Superior''' - 4% bonus to DF/Breakage, +2 AvD
*'''Hefty''' - 4% bonus to DF/Breakage, +2 AvD
*'''Nifty''' - 4% bonus to DF/Breakage, +2 AvD
*'''Well-crafted''' - 4% bonus to DF/Breakage, +2 AvD
*'''Exquisite''' - 4% bonus to DF/Breakage, +2 AvD
*'''Well-made''' - 2% bonus to DF/Breakage, +1 AvD
*'''Elegant''' - 2% bonus to DF/Breakage, +1 AvD
*'''Fine''' - 2% bonus to DF/Breakage, +1 AvD
*'''Nice''' - no bonus

*'''Lop-sided''' - no bonus
*'''Flimsy''' - no bonus

Forging

DRIZZT-12: /* Twohanded Weapons */ Maul added

'''Forging''' is the [[Artisan skill]] related to the creation of weapons.

==Usefulness of Forging==
The real benefit to a perfectly forged weapon is the ability to enchant or bless the weapon, which is not available to any weapon with weighting. Given the premium benefits as well as the limited merchants with the service, flares can also be added to a perfectly forged weapon, making the weapon the best choice for an upgrade in the land of [[Elanthia]].

Also, as AvD's are increased at a flat rate as well, it is therefore similar to increasing the enchant, slightly. Below is a listing of the quality ranks, and their bonuses.

*'''Perfect''' - 6% bonus to DF/Breakage, +3 AvD
*'''Superior''' - 4% bonus to DF/Breakage, +2 AvD
*'''Hefty''' - 4% bonus to DF/Breakage, +2 AvD
*'''Nifty''' - 4% bonus to DF/Breakage, +2 AvD
*'''Well-crafted''' - 4% bonus to DF/Breakage, +2 AvD
*'''Exquisite''' - 4% bonus to DF/Breakage, +2 AvD
*'''Well-made''' - 2% bonus to DF/Breakage, +1 AvD
*'''Elegant''' - 2% bonus to DF/Breakage, +1 AvD
*'''Fine''' - 2% bonus to DF/Breakage, +1 AvD
*'''Nice''' - no bonus
*'''Plain''' - no bonus
*'''Simple''' - no bonus
*'''Crude''' - no bonus
*'''Lop-sided''' - no bonus
*'''Flimsy''' - no bonus

Parry

2011-03-21T22:53:50Z

DRIZZT-12: Took out mention of a bug with brawling since it has been fixed.

To '''parry''' (in the context of the [[Evade/Block/Parry system]]) is to outrightly prevent a physical [[attack]] by intercepting it or knocking it aside with one's [[weapon]], stopping the attack before the attack equation has even come into play. The check to determine whether an attack is parried occurs after the checks to determine whether the attack is [[evade]]d or [[block]]ed.

==One-Handed Parry DS==

Training in one-handed weapons provides a bonus to one's overall DS according to the formula [Weapon ranks + trunc(STR Bonus/4) + trunc(DEX Bonus/4) + trunc(weapon enchant/2)] * stance modifier, where stance modifier = .2+(stance/2) and stance is given by:
*offensive: 0
*advanced: .2
*forward: .4
*neutral: .6
*guarded: .8
*defensive: 1.

==Chance to Parry==
The odds for an outright parry are determined by comparing the defender's weapon skill to the attacker's [[level]]. Against a like-level foe, 2x training in the appropriate weapon skill will yield approximately a 5% chance to parry an incoming attack in [[stance]] offensive. Other factors that affect the chance to parry include:
* The passive [[combat maneuver]] [[Parry Mastery]] will increase the chance to parry by 5% per rank known (15% max).
* certain [[stat]]s (most likely [[strength]] and [[dexterity]])
* [[stance]]
* certain [[spell]]s
* positioning: [[kneeling]] reduces the chance to parry by 25%, being [[prone]] by 50%
It is not possible to outrightly parry a [[bolt|bolt attack]], unless you are using a [[runestaff]].

Enchant (925)/Old version archived information

[[Category:Wizard Base Spells]]
[[Category:Weapon Enhancements]]
[[Category:Armor Enhancements]]

One of the oldest and most coveted abilities of a [[wizard]] is the '''Enchant Item''' [[spell]]. Successfully enchanting a [[weapon]], [[shield]], [[armor]], [[runestaff]], or the rare [[defensive bonus]] item will add a permanent bonus to that item's performance in combat. This bonus adds directly to a character's offensive or defensive combat values, beyond that which is achievable by any other means.

Items may be enchanted more than once, increasing the overall bonus with each successive enchantment. Each level of enchantment bestows the item with a +5 bonus from its previous state, to a maximum of +50. Certain [[material]]s may possess natural bonuses or natural negatives.

== Components ==
;* Knowledge of ''Enchant Item (925)'' spell and sufficient mana (25) to cast it.
:
;* [[enchanting potions|Enchanting Potion]]
: Can either be storebought, or produced through the [[Alchemy]] [[guild]] skill (the recipes are [[Wizard]] only). There is no advantage to one source over the other.
;* [[Enchant Item (925)# Selecting an Item to Enchant|Object to enchant]]
:Generally, a weapon, shield, or piece of armor with no other special properties (excepting forging bonuses).
;* [[Magical workshop]] or [[Earthnode]]
:A workshop is not required, but highly recommended for successful enchantments, particularly at higher enchantment levels or for lower level [[wizard]]s. There is one located in each of the [[Wizard Guild]]s, though workshops are also found all over [[Elanthia]]. Many are hidden throughout the lands, most [[CHE|Great Houses]] boast a workshop, and a few exceedingly lucky wizards own their own workshop. [[Wizard]]s who are not testing their limits, however, often do just fine at a regular [[earthnode]].
;* [[920|Wizard's Familiar]]
: See [[#Success Factors|Success Factors]] section for bonus and penalty information.

== Selecting an Item to Enchant ==
It is imperative that one is familiar with the item they intend to enchant. Certain [[material]]s may resist this process, or restrict it altogether. Many materials possess their own natural bonuses or negatives, which factor into the level of enchantment intended to be bestowed upon it. Properties of items such as [[flare|flaring]], [[weighting]] or [[padding]] will prevent them from being enchanted, as well. Some items may not take enchants, seemingly for no reason whatsoever.
The best way to obtain detailed information about an item is to have a [[bard]] [[loresinging|loresing]] to it. Other sources, such as the [[AI crystal]] can also provide valuable information about items. Wizards may cast [[Elemental Detection (405)]] upon items which have been previously tempered to determine their current level of enchantment.

* In general, any [[weapon]], [[shield]], [[armor]], or [[runestaff]] can be enchanted as long as its other properties do not preclude the possibility.
:* Flaring weapons of any type cannot be enchanted.
:* Damage or crit weighted weapons of any type cannot be enchanted.
:* Damage or crit padded armors cannot be enchanted.
:* Claidhmores cannot be enchanted due to their built-in crit weighting.
:* Items with a current enchantment of +46 or higher also cannot be enchanted.
:* "Defender" weapons (which provide a DS bonus as well as an AS bonus) cannot be enchanted.
:* Weapons with forging bonuses, but no other special abilities, are enchantable.
:* Items with enhancive properties or sanctified require special [[Pre-tempering potion]]s to be enchanted. The difficulty of enchanting enhancive items varies depending on the type and intensity of the enhancive.
:* Items which are blessable are generally also enchantable. However, they cannot be enchanted while blessed.
* There are extremely rare [[defensive bonus]] clothing and jewelery items which can store an enchantment.
* The only sure way to determine whether or not an item will accept an enchantment, is to try to pour a tempering potion on it. (However, [[Bless Item (304)]] comes very close.)
* Each [[wizard]] may only have one '''Major Enchant''' project in progress at a given time. This includes any further enchantment upon an item which is already +16 or higher.

Note: This is a comment from GM Naos from the official boards Wizards > Enchanting topic post #7855 dated 3/17/2011.

''Aaaaaactually, resistant armor is more difficult to enchant than equivalent armor sans resistances. I don't think the permanence of the resistance matters, either.''

''You can pretty much assume that any additional attributes that don't outright prevent enchanting increase the difficulty of enchanting. (The only exception I can think of would be spikes.) - Naos''

== The Enchanting Process ==
Enchanting is a simple two-step process. First, the object is [[925#Tempering the Item|tempered with a potion]]. The temper takes a certain amount of time to cure, and once complete, one then [[925#Casting the Enchantment|casts the Enchant Item spell]] upon the object. This "pour/cast" cycle is then repeated once for each level of enchantment being bestowed upon the item. For example, taking an item from 0x to 1x would require one pour and then one cast. Likewise, taking an item from 2x to 3x would require three pours and three casts total. During the intermediary processes, the item cannot be used for its usual function. Wielding a weapon, shield, or runestaff, or being struck while [[WEAR (verb)|wearing]] armor whose enchantment has not yet been completed will cause the destruction of that item.

=== Tempering the Item ===
Tempering is the act of using an [[Enchanting potions|enchanting potion]] to prepare an object to store the enchantment you wish to instill within. The act itself is quite simple, though making certain you have checked the status of each contributing factor and conditioned the variables in your favor can prove quite challenging.

* [[POUR (verb)|POUR]] POTION ON MY {ITEM} : initiates the tempering process
* Each pour will use precisely one dose of potion, regardless of the size or type of the item.
* There is a 20 second roundtime for each pour. (The spell [[Haste (506)]] will not have an effect on this roundtime)

Certain items, such as sanctified gear and enhancive items, require [[Pre-tempering potion]]s prior to the tempering potion to take each step of the enchant.

====Pour Potion Modifiers Formula====

'''MIU skill + LOG bonus + INT bonus + trunc(AUR bonus + WIS bonus)/2 + Potion Bonus - Item enchant bonus - Encumbrance Penalty - Armor Penalty'''

Example: Wizard with 200 MIU skill, 25 LOG bonus, 20 INT bonus, 25 AUR bonus, 22 WIS bonus, Dirtokh potion (+25 bonus), Item enchant bonus + 20, unencumbered and fully trained for their armor.

Pour modifiers: 200 (MIU) + 25 (LOG) + 20 (INT) + trunc(25 AUR + 22 WIS)/2 + 25 (potion bonus) - 20 (item enchant bonus) = 273

In order to have a successful pour, the pour modifiers + d100 roll must total at least 101.

=====Pre-tempering Formula=====

With [[Pre-tempering potion]]s, such as [[Pre-tempering potion|Ayveneh]] for enhancive items and [[Pre-tempering potion|Eoveneh]] for sanctified items, there is a penalty of 220 to the pour modifiers formula. Both of these have a potion bonus of +20. So, the pour modifiers result (using the data from the previous example) would be:

Pour modifiers: 200 (MIU) + 25 (LOG) + 20 (INT) + trunc(25 AUR + 22 WIS)/2 + 20 (potion bonus) - 20 (item enchant bonus) - 220 (pre-temper penalty) = 48

Since a successful pour requires a 101 total, the minimum d100 roll required for a successful outcome in this example would be 53.

=====Encumbrance Penalty=====

[[Encumbrance]] will reduce the pour modifiers by 1 for each 1% of encumbered body weight. E.g., a halfling with a body weight of 120 lbs. and 24 lbs. of encumbered weight will have a penalty of 20 to the pour modifiers total.

====Pour Messaging====

;:Failure due to insufficient potion:
<div {{log}}>You pour your potion on the mail.<br>
<font color="blue">There does not seem to be enough dirtokh potion to cover</font> the green imflass mail. The liquid bubbles slightly as it touches the surface of the green imflass mail, but then merely evaporates without effect.</div>

<i>Note that this message may now be obsolete, as previously two doses were required for each pour if the item was classified as a shield or as armor. Only one dose is now required regardless of the item; this has been true since just before the 2007 Ebon Gate Festival.</i>

;:Unsuccessful pour due to item having been [[Minor Elemental Edging (902)|Edged]], [[Elemental Blade (411)|E-bladed]] etc.:

<div {{log}}>>pour my potion on my dagger
You pour your potion on the dagger.
The liquid bubbles slightly as it touches the surface of the dagger, but then merely evaporates without effect.</div>

;:Unsuccessful pour due to item being blessed:

<div {{log}}>>pour my potion on my dagger
You pour your potion on the dagger.

The liquid coats the dagger, which glows faintly white for a moment and then returns to normal.
</div>

;:Successful pour:
<div {{log}}>You pour your potion on the mail.
  1d100: 33 + Modifiers: 234 == 267

As the liquid coats the surface of the green imflass mail, a misty aura fills the air surrounding it, dancing around your fingers as you gesture over it with a soft incantation spilling from your lips. Small runic symbols flare to life at various points along the surface of the mail, their blurry edges wavering in response to the cadence of your voice and the liquid in these areas absorbing quickly beneath the surface. When the last of the liquid has vanished, the symbols dissipate and the mail appears faded. You scrutinize the green imflass mail, notice nothing amiss, and conclude that <font color=blue>the tempering seems to have been successful.</font> You estimate that the green imflass mail should be ready to enchant in about 8 to 9 days.</div>

If your enchanting project requires multiple castings, you may pour the next temper immediately after casting. There is no waiting period (other than roundtime incurred by the casting itself).

<nowiki>*</nowiki> ''Average time per pour. May vary depending upon number of current enchanting projects and skill of wizard.''

&dagger; ''Base prices shown. Enchanting potions are generally sold in units of 4 doses, so the price per cycle is 1/4 of the price shown here. See [[Trading]] for more information on variations in price. Some enchant potions can also be produced via [[Alchemy]].''

<i><nowiki>**</nowiki> These potions are not publicly available on a regular basis, and have been distributed only by special event merchants.''</i>

Higher level potions may always be used for lower level enchanting projects; however this is generally not cost effective, and is usually done only when the [[wizard]] has a stockpile of high level potions.

=== Casting the Enchantment ===
The second part of the process is casting the spell itself. Once the temper has fully cured, the item is ready to receive the magic. Just like the previous step, the proper preparation is paramount to success.

* To ascertain if the temper is complete, [[CAST (verb)|cast]] [[Elemental Detection]] at it.

If you receive a message similar to the following, the item is tempering but not yet cured:
<div {{log}}>You gesture at a crystal-set rosewood runestaff.<br>
The layers of essence permeating the rosewood runestaff unfold before you to reveal the familiar patterns of a tempering enchanting project, which you recognize as one of your own. <font color=blue>It is currently tempering</font> and on the first step of the enchanting process. You recognize the vibrant red aura surrounding it as indicating a weak level of enchantment.</div>

If you receive a message similar to the following, the item is tempered and cured:
<div {{log}}>You gesture at some silvery green imflass mail.<br>
The layers of essence permeating the green imflass mail unfold before you to reveal the familiar patterns of a tempering enchanting project, which you recognize as one of your own. <font color=red>It is currently tempered and ready to be enchanted</font>. It is on the fifth step of the enchanting process. You recognize the muted blue aura surrounding it as indicating a strong level of enchantment.</div>
Once this "ready" message is received, the item is ready to be cast upon. (Note that the detection message will read "final" for the final step of each enchantment level, rather than the appropriate numerical value.)

At this point, you should check that you have positively influenced all of the factors within your control. Taking this extra step will help prevent failure that could have been avoided. Check the following section for conditions which may have a positive or negative affect on your success.

Once all factors have been taken into account, you should be ready to cast the enchantment. Simply hold the item in your hand and cast the ''Enchant Item (925)'' spell at the item. Expect a significant roundtime for this activity. (Some wizards have reportedly used ''[[Haste (506)]]'' in order to counteract this effect.)

The precise formula to achieve a successful enchantment is still largely unknown. What is known, is that the [[level]] and [[Wizard Base]] ranks of the [[enchanter]] are primary factors, and that carelessness while going through the motions is the largest factor of failure. The following table lists all known factors (positive or negative), in no particular order.

* There is a minimum [[#Failed casts|3% failure rate]] for the final step of any enchant, regardless of the enchanter's [[stat]]s, [[skill]]s, level, or the level of the enchantment itself.

* Historically, wizards would overtrain their [[Wizard Base]] ranks to achieve more skill at enchanting. In the most recent revision of the spell, benefits from Wizard Base ranks were given [[diminishing returns]].

* The most preventable cause of failure is attempting to cast upon an item whose temper has not yet cured, through sheer carelessness or impatience. This can be easily prevented through the proper and informed use of [[Elemental Detection (405)]].

* [[Call Familiar (920)|Familiars]]:

:1. If you do not have a familiar summoned, there is no bonus or penalty to Enchanting success.
:2. Having a familiar summoned and in the same room as your character contributes a bonus to Enchanting success.

== Rewards for your Efforts ==
Successful enchantments earn [[experience]], and potentially large amounts of [[silver]].

While the enchantment process does not directly reward the wizard in silver, many items are enchanted with the intent of sale. By increasing the enchantment on an item, the wizard has increased its value, sometimes by immense amounts. This is particularly true of major enchantments (above 4x) and enchantments upon unusual items. Armor also tends to be profitable due to the relative lack of NPC shops that sell enchanted armor (particularly the leather-based armors commonly used by most professions), and high prices in the few shops that do. (Low level enchants on weapons and shields are available over-the-counter for the most common types, although often at much higher prices than the cost of enchanting a +0 item to the same level.)

Major enchant projects are exceedingly valuable due to the time and skill which they take to complete, and the restriction of only one major enchant at a time. In some cases, wizards will hire themselves out to provide this service on items already owned by the customer.

A few wizards prefer, instead, to produce large quantities of minor enchant projects (usually bringing items right up to the 4x minor/major cutoff) for sale. While the potential for profit is lower, some enjoy the relative lack of risk to their reputations, since their customers are unaware of failures or delays.

=== Experience From Enchanting ===
The [[experience]] gained from a successful cast is based on the following formula:

EXP = ( 100 x step of enchant ) - enchanter's [[level]]

For example, a level 50 wizard, making the third cast of an enchant would receive 250 experience.

( 100 × 3 ) - 50 = 250 EXP

== Failed casts ==
Unfortunately, not all Enchantments are successful. There is a random 3% failure which only applies to the final cast of a project; '''Something doesn't seem right...''' will be the first thing you see on a fumbled cast..

===Example of the random 3% final step failure messaging:===

<div {{log}}>>pre 925
You trace a series of glowing runes while chanting the phrase for Enchant Item...<br>
Your spell is ready.<br>
>cast my shield<br>
You gesture at a target shield.

<span style="color:#000000; background:#FF69B4">'''Something doesn't seem right...'''</span>

A steady glow encompasses the target shield as you begin your chant, but suddenly vanishes, a number of multi-colored sparks dancing across the surface of the shield.
Roundtime: 20 sec. </div>

In the example above the cast was fumbled on the final (fourth) step of a 3x to 4x project. This failure caused a lose of one step in the enchanting process.

New Messaging:

<div {{log}}>You gesture at a target shield.<br>
The layers of essence permeating the target shield unfold before you to reveal the familiar patterns of a tempering enchanting project, which you recognize as one of your own. <span style="color:#000000; background:#FF69B4">It is currently tempering and on the third step of the enchanting process.</span> You recognize the <span style="color:#ffff00;background:#FF69B4">vibrant yellow </span> aura surrounding it as indicating a moderate level of enchantment.</div>

=== Other failures range from nearly benign to utterly catastrophic, and include in increasing order of severity:===

* Improper cast, temper re-set. (Recovery: wait out the new temper cycle, re-cast.)

* Loss of several (where "several" may be "1") temper steps, project still on-going. (Recovery: re-pour the potion, wait out the cycle, re-cast.)

* Loss of all progress, project re-set to lower complete Enchantment (if the item was being taken from 2x to 3x, it is now again a 2x item ''but'' fully usable at this time; it is possible to regress to lower than the starting point (2x item going to 3x fails and is set to 1x)). (Recovery: start the entire project over again with the first pour of a tempering potion; if several steps have been lost then the appropriate lower potion is usable.)

* Item becomes cursed (stuck in caster's hand until a Cleric can either [[Neutralize Curse (309)]] or [[Remove Curse (315)]]), the description is changed to "blackened" (ex. "a blackened breastplate", "some blackened leathers"), and the bonus on the item is typically set to +0 ''or lower''. (Recovery: if desired, start the process again to bring the item first to +0 and then successive steps beyond; the item will need to be either dyed or altered at a merchant in order to have the description changed.) This failure may cause the item to be dropped to the ground; however, when this is the case, the item is still cursed and will become stuck in hand if picked up.
::<i> Slender wisps of essence form around the light leather, but quickly take on a dark, greenish-black hue. The wisps twist about each other, writhing in discordant response to your chant. Suddenly, the tendrils coalesce around the leather, forming a shell of black, crackling energy. With a burst of static, the leather falls from your hands and the roiling energy sinks into the leather, leaving their surface blackened.</i>

* Item is destroyed in an explosion; flying shards may wound or even kill the casting Wizard and possibly bystanders. There is no recovery from this; the item is gone.

[[Category:Wizard Base Spells]]
[[Category:Weapon Enhancements]]
[[Category:Armor Enhancements]]

One of the oldest and most coveted abilities of a [[wizard]] is the '''Enchant Item''' [[spell]]. Successfully enchanting a [[weapon]], [[shield]], [[armor]], [[runestaff]], or the rare [[defensive bonus]] item will add a permanent bonus to that item's performance in combat. This bonus adds directly to a character's offensive or defensive combat values, beyond that which is achievable by any other means.

Items may be enchanted more than once, increasing the overall bonus with each successive enchantment. Each level of enchantment bestows the item with a +5 bonus from its previous state, to a maximum of +50. Certain [[material]]s may possess natural bonuses or natural negatives.

== Components ==
;* Knowledge of ''Enchant Item (925)'' spell and sufficient mana (25) to cast it.
:
;* [[enchanting potions|Enchanting Potion]]
: Can either be storebought, or produced through the [[Alchemy]] [[guild]] skill (the recipes are [[Wizard]] only). There is no advantage to one source over the other.
;* [[Enchant Item (925)# Selecting an Item to Enchant|Object to enchant]]
:Generally, a weapon, shield, or piece of armor with no other special properties (excepting forging bonuses).
;* [[Magical workshop]] or [[Earthnode]]
:A workshop is not required, but highly recommended for successful enchantments, particularly at higher enchantment levels or for lower level [[wizard]]s. There is one located in each of the [[Wizard Guild]]s, though workshops are also found all over [[Elanthia]]. Many are hidden throughout the lands, most [[CHE|Great Houses]] boast a workshop, and a few exceedingly lucky wizards own their own workshop. [[Wizard]]s who are not testing their limits, however, often do just fine at a regular [[earthnode]].
;* [[920|Wizard's Familiar]]
: See [[#Success Factors|Success Factors]] section for bonus and penalty information.

== Selecting an Item to Enchant ==
It is imperative that one is familiar with the item they intend to enchant. Certain [[material]]s may resist this process, or restrict it altogether. Many materials possess their own natural bonuses or negatives, which factor into the level of enchantment intended to be bestowed upon it. Properties of items such as [[flare|flaring]], [[weighting]] or [[padding]] will prevent them from being enchanted, as well. Some items may not take enchants, seemingly for no reason whatsoever.
The best way to obtain detailed information about an item is to have a [[bard]] [[loresinging|loresing]] to it. Other sources, such as the [[AI crystal]] can also provide valuable information about items. Wizards may cast [[Elemental Detection (405)]] upon items which have been previously tempered to determine their current level of enchantment.

* In general, any [[weapon]], [[shield]], [[armor]], or [[runestaff]] can be enchanted as long as its other properties do not preclude the possibility.
:* Flaring weapons of any type cannot be enchanted.
:* Damage or crit weighted weapons of any type cannot be enchanted.
:* Damage or crit padded armors cannot be enchanted.
:* Claidhmores cannot be enchanted due to their built-in crit weighting.
:* Items with a current enchantment of +46 or higher also cannot be enchanted.
:* "Defender" weapons (which provide a DS bonus as well as an AS bonus) cannot be enchanted.
:* Weapons with forging bonuses, but no other special abilities, are enchantable.
:* Items with enhancive properties or sanctified require special [[Pre-tempering potion]]s to be enchanted. The difficulty of enchanting enhancive items varies depending on the type and intensity of the enhancive.
:* Items which are blessable are generally also enchantable. However, they cannot be enchanted while blessed.
* There are extremely rare [[defensive bonus]] clothing and jewelery items which can store an enchantment.
* The only sure way to determine whether or not an item will accept an enchantment, is to try to pour a tempering potion on it. (However, [[Bless Item (304)]] comes very close.)
* Each [[wizard]] may only have one '''Major Enchant''' project in progress at a given time. This includes any further enchantment upon an item which is already +16 or higher.

Note: This is a comment from GM Naos from the official boards Wizards > Enchanting topic post #7855 dated 3/17/2011.

''Aaaaaactually, resistant armor is more difficult to enchant than equivalent armor sans resistances. I don't think the permanence of the resistance matters, either.''

''You can pretty much assume that any additional attributes that don't outright prevent enchanting increase the difficulty of enchanting. (The only exception I can think of would be spikes.) - Naos''

== The Enchanting Process ==
Enchanting is a simple two-step process. First, the object is [[925#Tempering the Item|tempered with a potion]]. The temper takes a certain amount of time to cure, and once complete, one then [[925#Casting the Enchantment|casts the Enchant Item spell]] upon the object. This "pour/cast" cycle is then repeated once for each level of enchantment being bestowed upon the item. For example, taking an item from 0x to 1x would require one pour and then one cast. Likewise, taking an item from 2x to 3x would require three pours and three casts total. During the intermediary processes, the item cannot be used for its usual function. Wielding a weapon, shield, or runestaff, or being struck while [[WEAR (verb)|wearing]] armor whose enchantment has not yet been completed will cause the destruction of that item.

=== Tempering the Item ===
Tempering is the act of using an [[Enchanting potions|enchanting potion]] to prepare an object to store the enchantment you wish to instill within. The act itself is quite simple, though making certain you have checked the status of each contributing factor and conditioned the variables in your favor can prove quite challenging.

* [[POUR (verb)|POUR]] POTION ON MY {ITEM} : initiates the tempering process
* Each pour will use precisely one dose of potion, regardless of the size or type of the item.
* There is a 20 second roundtime for each pour. (The spell [[Haste (506)]] will not have an effect on this roundtime)

Certain items, such as sanctified gear and enhancive items, require [[Pre-tempering potion]]s prior to the tempering potion to take each step of the enchant.

====Pour Potion Modifiers Formula====

'''MIU skill + LOG bonus + INT bonus + trunc(AUR bonus + WIS bonus)/2 + Potion Bonus - Item enchant bonus - Encumbrance Penalty - Armor Penalty'''

Example: Wizard with 200 MIU skill, 25 LOG bonus, 20 INT bonus, 25 AUR bonus, 22 WIS bonus, Dirtokh potion (+25 bonus), Item enchant bonus + 20, unencumbered and fully trained for their armor.

Pour modifiers: 200 (MIU) + 25 (LOG) + 20 (INT) + trunc(25 AUR + 22 WIS)/2 + 25 (potion bonus) - 20 (item enchant bonus) = 273

In order to have a successful pour, the pour modifiers + d100 roll must total at least 101.

=====Pre-tempering Formula=====

With [[Pre-tempering potion]]s, such as [[Pre-tempering potion|Ayveneh]] for enhancive items and [[Pre-tempering potion|Eoveneh]] for sanctified items, there is a penalty of 220 to the pour modifiers formula. Both of these have a potion bonus of +20. So, the pour modifiers result (using the data from the previous example) would be:

Pour modifiers: 200 (MIU) + 25 (LOG) + 20 (INT) + trunc(25 AUR + 22 WIS)/2 + 20 (potion bonus) - 20 (item enchant bonus) - 220 (pre-temper penalty) = 48

Since a successful pour requires a 101 total, the minimum d100 roll required for a successful outcome in this example would be 53.

=====Encumbrance Penalty=====

[[Encumbrance]] will reduce the pour modifiers by 1 for each 1% of encumbered body weight. E.g., a halfling with a body weight of 120 lbs. and 24 lbs. of encumbered weight will have a penalty of 20 to the pour modifiers total.

====Pour Messaging====

;:Failure due to insufficient potion:
<div {{log}}>You pour your potion on the mail.<br>
<font color="blue">There does not seem to be enough dirtokh potion to cover</font> the green imflass mail. The liquid bubbles slightly as it touches the surface of the green imflass mail, but then merely evaporates without effect.</div>

<i>Note that this message may now be obsolete, as previously two doses were required for each pour if the item was classified as a shield or as armor. Only one dose is now required regardless of the item; this has been true since just before the 2007 Ebon Gate Festival.</i>

;:Unsuccessful pour due to item having been [[Minor Elemental Edging (902)|Edged]], [[Elemental Blade (411)|E-bladed]] etc.:

<div {{log}}>>pour my potion on my dagger
You pour your potion on the dagger.
The liquid bubbles slightly as it touches the surface of the dagger, but then merely evaporates without effect.</div>

;:Unsuccessful pour due to item being blessed:

<div {{log}}>>pour my potion on my dagger
You pour your potion on the dagger.

The liquid coats the dagger, which glows faintly white for a moment and then returns to normal.
</div>

;:Successful pour:
<div {{log}}>You pour your potion on the mail.
  1d100: 33 + Modifiers: 234 == 267

As the liquid coats the surface of the green imflass mail, a misty aura fills the air surrounding it, dancing around your fingers as you gesture over it with a soft incantation spilling from your lips. Small runic symbols flare to life at various points along the surface of the mail, their blurry edges wavering in response to the cadence of your voice and the liquid in these areas absorbing quickly beneath the surface. When the last of the liquid has vanished, the symbols dissipate and the mail appears faded. You scrutinize the green imflass mail, notice nothing amiss, and conclude that <font color=blue>the tempering seems to have been successful.</font> You estimate that the green imflass mail should be ready to enchant in about 8 to 9 days.</div>

If your enchanting project requires multiple castings, you may pour the next temper immediately after casting. There is no waiting period (other than roundtime incurred by the casting itself).

&dagger; ''Base prices shown. Enchanting potions are generally sold in units of 4 doses, so the price per cycle is 1/4 of the price shown here. See [[Trading]] for more information on variations in price. Some enchant potions can also be produced via [[Alchemy]].''

<i><nowiki>**</nowiki> These potions are not publicly available on a regular basis, and have been distributed only by special event merchants.''</i>

Higher level potions may always be used for lower level enchanting projects; however this is generally not cost effective, and is usually done only when the [[wizard]] has a stockpile of high level potions.

=== Casting the Enchantment ===
The second part of the process is casting the spell itself. Once the temper has fully cured, the item is ready to receive the magic. Just like the previous step, the proper preparation is paramount to success.

* To ascertain if the temper is complete, [[CAST (verb)|cast]] [[Elemental Detection]] at it.

If you receive a message similar to the following, the item is tempering but not yet cured:
<div {{log}}>You gesture at a crystal-set rosewood runestaff.<br>
The layers of essence permeating the rosewood runestaff unfold before you to reveal the familiar patterns of a tempering enchanting project, which you recognize as one of your own. <font color=blue>It is currently tempering</font> and on the first step of the enchanting process. You recognize the vibrant red aura surrounding it as indicating a weak level of enchantment.</div>

If you receive a message similar to the following, the item is tempered and cured:
<div {{log}}>You gesture at some silvery green imflass mail.<br>
The layers of essence permeating the green imflass mail unfold before you to reveal the familiar patterns of a tempering enchanting project, which you recognize as one of your own. <font color=red>It is currently tempered and ready to be enchanted</font>. It is on the fifth step of the enchanting process. You recognize the muted blue aura surrounding it as indicating a strong level of enchantment.</div>
Once this "ready" message is received, the item is ready to be cast upon. (Note that the detection message will read "final" for the final step of each enchantment level, rather than the appropriate numerical value.)

At this point, you should check that you have positively influenced all of the factors within your control. Taking this extra step will help prevent failure that could have been avoided. Check the following section for conditions which may have a positive or negative affect on your success.

Once all factors have been taken into account, you should be ready to cast the enchantment. Simply hold the item in your hand and cast the ''Enchant Item (925)'' spell at the item. Expect a significant roundtime for this activity. (Some wizards have reportedly used ''[[Haste (506)]]'' in order to counteract this effect.)

The precise formula to achieve a successful enchantment is still largely unknown. What is known, is that the [[level]] and [[Wizard Base]] ranks of the [[enchanter]] are primary factors, and that carelessness while going through the motions is the largest factor of failure. The following table lists all known factors (positive or negative), in no particular order.

* There is a minimum [[#Failed casts|3% failure rate]] for the final step of any enchant, regardless of the enchanter's [[stat]]s, [[skill]]s, level, or the level of the enchantment itself.

* Historically, wizards would overtrain their [[Wizard Base]] ranks to achieve more skill at enchanting. In the most recent revision of the spell, benefits from Wizard Base ranks were given [[diminishing returns]].

* The most preventable cause of failure is attempting to cast upon an item whose temper has not yet cured, through sheer carelessness or impatience. This can be easily prevented through the proper and informed use of [[Elemental Detection (405)]].

* [[Call Familiar (920)|Familiars]]:

:1. If you do not have a familiar summoned, there is no bonus or penalty to Enchanting success.
:2. Having a familiar summoned and in the same room as your character contributes a bonus to Enchanting success.
:3. Having a familiar summoned but in a different room than your character contributes a penalty to Enchanting success. - GM Naos

* Earthnode or Workshop:

:1. Private workshops are best, but are only of benefit to their owners and useless to anyone else (i.e. not a workshop for non-owners.)
:2. [[Wizard Guild|Guild]] and [[CHE]] workshops are the next best, and are equally great.
:3. Public workshops are least great, but still great. - GM Naos

Use the [[SENSE (verb)#Wizards|'''Sense verb''']] to determine the room status.

== Rewards for your Efforts ==
Successful enchantments earn [[experience]], and potentially large amounts of [[silver]].

While the enchantment process does not directly reward the wizard in silver, many items are enchanted with the intent of sale. By increasing the enchantment on an item, the wizard has increased its value, sometimes by immense amounts. This is particularly true of major enchantments (above 4x) and enchantments upon unusual items. Armor also tends to be profitable due to the relative lack of NPC shops that sell enchanted armor (particularly the leather-based armors commonly used by most professions), and high prices in the few shops that do. (Low level enchants on weapons and shields are available over-the-counter for the most common types, although often at much higher prices than the cost of enchanting a +0 item to the same level.)

Major enchant projects are exceedingly valuable due to the time and skill which they take to complete, and the restriction of only one major enchant at a time. In some cases, wizards will hire themselves out to provide this service on items already owned by the customer.

A few wizards prefer, instead, to produce large quantities of minor enchant projects (usually bringing items right up to the 4x minor/major cutoff) for sale. While the potential for profit is lower, some enjoy the relative lack of risk to their reputations, since their customers are unaware of failures or delays.

=== Experience From Enchanting ===
The [[experience]] gained from a successful cast is based on the following formula:

EXP = ( 100 x step of enchant ) - enchanter's [[level]]

For example, a level 50 wizard, making the third cast of an enchant would receive 250 experience.

( 100 × 3 ) - 50 = 250 EXP

== Failed casts ==
Unfortunately, not all Enchantments are successful. There is a random 3% failure which only applies to the final cast of a project; '''Something doesn't seem right...''' will be the first thing you see on a fumbled cast..

===Example of the random 3% final step failure messaging:===

<div {{log}}>>pre 925
You trace a series of glowing runes while chanting the phrase for Enchant Item...<br>
Your spell is ready.<br>
>cast my shield<br>
You gesture at a target shield.

<span style="color:#000000; background:#FF69B4">'''Something doesn't seem right...'''</span>

A steady glow encompasses the target shield as you begin your chant, but suddenly vanishes, a number of multi-colored sparks dancing across the surface of the shield.
Roundtime: 20 sec. </div>

In the example above the cast was fumbled on the final (fourth) step of a 3x to 4x project. This failure caused a lose of one step in the enchanting process.

New Messaging:

<div {{log}}>You gesture at a target shield.<br>
The layers of essence permeating the target shield unfold before you to reveal the familiar patterns of a tempering enchanting project, which you recognize as one of your own. <span style="color:#000000; background:#FF69B4">It is currently tempering and on the third step of the enchanting process.</span> You recognize the <span style="color:#ffff00;background:#FF69B4">vibrant yellow </span> aura surrounding it as indicating a moderate level of enchantment.</div>

=== Other failures range from nearly benign to utterly catastrophic, and include in increasing order of severity:===

* Improper cast, temper re-set. (Recovery: wait out the new temper cycle, re-cast.)

* Loss of several (where "several" may be "1") temper steps, project still on-going. (Recovery: re-pour the potion, wait out the cycle, re-cast.)

* Loss of all progress, project re-set to lower complete Enchantment (if the item was being taken from 2x to 3x, it is now again a 2x item ''but'' fully usable at this time; it is possible to regress to lower than the starting point (2x item going to 3x fails and is set to 1x)). (Recovery: start the entire project over again with the first pour of a tempering potion; if several steps have been lost then the appropriate lower potion is usable.)

* Item becomes cursed (stuck in caster's hand until a Cleric can either [[Neutralize Curse (309)]] or [[Remove Curse (315)]]), the description is changed to "blackened" (ex. "a blackened breastplate", "some blackened leathers"), and the bonus on the item is typically set to +0 ''or lower''. (Recovery: if desired, start the process again to bring the item first to +0 and then successive steps beyond; the item will need to be either dyed or altered at a merchant in order to have the description changed.) This failure may cause the item to be dropped to the ground; however, when this is the case, the item is still cursed and will become stuck in hand if picked up.
::<i> Slender wisps of essence form around the light leather, but quickly take on a dark, greenish-black hue. The wisps twist about each other, writhing in discordant response to your chant. Suddenly, the tendrils coalesce around the leather, forming a shell of black, crackling energy. With a burst of static, the leather falls from your hands and the roiling energy sinks into the leather, leaving their surface blackened.</i>

* Item is destroyed in an explosion; flying shards may wound or even kill the casting Wizard and possibly bystanders. There is no recovery from this; the item is gone.

Magic Item Creation (420)

2011-03-17T14:17:31Z

DRIZZT-12:

{{Spellbox start}}
{{Utility spell
| mnemonic = MAGICITEM}}

The '''Magic Item Creation''' spell allows the caster to <span style = "font-variant: small-caps">[[IMBED (verb)|imbed]]</span> a spell they have learned into an appropriate ''imbeddable'' magical item. [[Ranger]]s can create blank imbeddable rods, wands, wire grass anklets/bracelets and tree bark amulets from foraged items with the [[Imbue (614)]] spell. Other imbeddable items can be purchased from shops or sometimes found as treasure items on creatures.

==Procedure==

Imbedding an item is a two step process. To begin, the caster must be holding an imbeddable item in either the right of left hand. It is not necessary to have the other hand empty. The spell is then prepared and cast at the item. It is advisable to use '''cast MY <item>''' when casting the spell. Once successful, the caster will be attuned to the item and have five minutes to imbed a spell in it. The caster may now imbed the item with a known spell using a verb activator and a specific number of charges. During the imbedding phase DO NOT use MY with the item or you will be unsuccessful.

The number of charges that can be successfully imbedded depends on the items mana capacity, the level of the spell, the number of charges and the level of the caster. If you find that you are failing the imbed portion of the process, it is recommended that you reduce the number of charges attempted and take advantage of a workshop.

==Activator Verbs==

There is a small list of activator [[verb]]s available to the caster. Each verb has certain item restrictions, and advantages/disadvantages versus the other verbs. The four activator verbs are <span style = "font-variant: small-caps">[[RAISE (verb)|raise]]</span>, <span style = "font-variant: small-caps">[[RUB (verb)|rub]]</span>, <span style = "font-variant: small-caps">[[TAP (verb)|tap]]</span>, and <span style = "font-variant: small-caps">[[WAVE (verb)|wave]]</span>. In order to use an imbedded item successfully the character must attain a minimum endroll of 101 when attempting to activate the item.

===Raise===

An item that has been imbedded with the <span style = "font-variant: small-caps">raise</span> verb activator will require the most training in the [[Magic Item Use]] skill to be successfully activated. It has a -40 penalty to the [[Magic Item Use|activation modifiers formula]]. However, using the raise verb has the advantage of increasing the duration of the imbedded spell by 33%.

''Note: The raise activator can only be used with wands and rods.''

<div {{Log}}>
>raise my wand<br>
You raise your small wand skyward!<br>
  1d100: 3 + Modifiers: 275 == 278

A silvery luminescence surrounds you.<br>
</div>

===Rub===

An item imbedded with <span style = "font-variant: small-caps">rub</span> verb activator has no bonus/penalty to either the magic item activation formula or to the duration of the spell.

''Note: The rub activator '''cannot''' be used in wands or rods.''

<div {{Log}}>
You rub your amulet.<br>
  1d100: 98 + Modifiers: 225 == 323<br>

A brilliant luminescence surrounds you and your group.
</div>

===Tap===

An item imbedded with the <span style = "font-variant: small-caps">tap</span> verb activator has the largest bonus to the magic item activation check: a bonus of +25. However, the duration of spells activated in this manner are reduced by 50%. This activator is best for spells that are difficult to activate and have a long duration or for spells that have no duration, like [[Elemental Wave]] or [[Quake]], though it would not be ideal for offensive spells that require a specific target to be selected, as the spell will target the caster automatically.

''Note: The tap activator '''cannot''' be used in wands or rods.''

<div {{Log}}>
>tap my amu<br>
You tap an amulet that you are wearing.<br>
  1d100: 47 + Modifiers: 296 == 343<br>

A wave of dark ethereal ripples moves outward from you.
</div>

===Wave===

An item imbedded with the<span style = "font-variant: small-caps">wave</span> verb activator is the only one that allows a character to target another creature or character with the imbedded spell. Imbedding offensive spells like [[Minor Acid]] is useless unless this activator is used. There is no bonus/penalty to either the activation skill attempt or the spell's duration.

''Note: The wave activator can only be used with wands and rods.''

<div {{Log}}>
You wave your rod at a kobold.<br>
  1d100: 73 + Modifiers: 265 == 338<br>

You hurl a hissing stream of acid at a kobold!<br>
  AS: +120 vs DS: +27 with AvD: +38 + d100 roll: +63 = +194<br>
   ... and hit for 53 points of damage!<br>
</div>

==Syntax==
*<span style = "font-variant: small-caps">[[IMBED (verb)|imbed]] <spell> in <item> using <activator> for <number> charges</span>
**The imbedded spell must be a spell that the imbedding caster knows, though the rare enhancive item that grants knowledge of the spell is sufficient for this.
**The item must have been prepared with the magic item create spell.
**The activator may be 'wave', 'raise', 'tap', or 'rub'.
**The number of charges is up to the discretion of the imbedder. Knowledge of the items mana capacity and the caster's success/failure rate for different spell levels will aid in determining this value.

==Example==

<div {{Log}}>
>pre 420<br>
You gesture and invoke the powers of the elements for the Magic Item Creation spell...<br>
Your spell is ready.<br>

>cast '''my''' wand<br>
You gesture at a small wand.<br>

A vibrant violet thread grows between you and the wand. It glows brilliantly for a moment
and then fades into invisibility but '''you still feel attuned''' to the wand.<br>
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.<br>

>imbed 401 in wand using raise for 40 charges<br>

You concentrate on funneling your power into the wand.<br>

You manage to successfully place 24 charges of the Elemental Defense I when it begins to overheat, so you stop.<br>
</div>

==Success Factors==
* [[Level]] of Character
* Level of [[Spell]]
* Number of Charges
* Material of Item: The only materials that are currently considered by imbedding are mithril, ora, imflass, and vultite. Anything else is 'normal'.

Imbedding in a workshop adds a significant bonus toward a successful outcome.

==Failure Messaging==

A minor failure will cause the item to lose its attunement along the mana attempted to be imbedded. But, it may be re-prepared immediately with spell 420 for another imbedding attempt. A major failure will cause both item and mana loss along with an injured hand.

Minor failure:

<div {{Log}}>
Something goes wrong with the process and you feel your power rush away from you.
</div>

Major failure:

<div {{Log}}>
Something goes very wrong with the process! The power that you are attempting to control goes wild!

The rod you are holding explodes with a bright flash! Your hand is injured!

The '''minotaur magi''' is an ugly, brutish looking beast. Taller than most average men, the minotaur has a bull-like appearance while his muscular body is humanoid with thick arms and broad shoulders. The minotaur magi feet end in hooves that rattle the ground with every step. Despite his barbaric features, a great intelligence is reflected in the depths of his eyes and mannerisms.<sup><sup>[http://www.play.net/gs4/info/bestiary/]</sup></sup>

Minotaur magus are a clerical type creature and the oldest non-invasion minotaur. They can cast [[Divine Fury]] which can be deadly at low endrolls. They will on occasion drag their stunned or injured comrades to another room and they can sanct and raise a dead minotaur.

A minotaur magus slowly raises his gaze upward, then briefly closes his eyes.

A bolt of soft white light streaks down from the sky bathing a minotaur warrior in it.

A brilliant glow forms around a minotaur warrior, lingers for a moment, and finally fades. The minotaur warrior awakens looking confused and somewhat drained.
