Premium enhancive

2026-02-19T00:47:31Z

GS4-OPTHERIA: /* Ineligible Items */ - linkifying

<section begin=description /><includeonly>Description: </includeonly>'''Premium enhancives''' are created using [[Premium point]]s by taking a '''non-[[enhancive]]''' item that the player owns and making it an permanent enhancive item with 200 charges. Use of the item's enhancive properties is restricted to the account that created the item. There are four levels of service and one ordering via Sadie scroll must choose one of those levels. The rules and enhancives available for specific levels are noted in the main article. The information listed on the main play.net website is out of date.
* '''[[Armor concealing garment|Armor concealers]] are not eligible for this service.'''
* '''Any particular bonus can be no more than 7.'''
* '''If you select two different types of bonuses to be applied to your item, then the combined bonuses may be no more than 10 in total.''' (e.g. +7/+3, +6/+4, +5/+5, or any single bonus of up to +7)
* '''Items can be recharged at the [[Adventurer's Guild]].'''

Instructions: Getting an item enhanced is as easy as 1 - 2 - 3! All you have to do is visit the lighthouse on the Isle of the Four Winds and go see Sadie! With your item in your hand you can pick up an enhancive alteration scroll. You may, at your leisure, use the scroll to get an enhancement on any of your items and you don't have to wait in any lines! Once you have decided what skill ranks and bonuses you desire, just send the scroll to Sadie and as soon as she is done with it, she will send a messenger to you to confirm she has completed it as you wanted.

Per Sadie to clarify-We can do the level 1 enhancive add as requested, however there needs to be some clarification. The levels for premium point enhancives are based on what they offer, NOT what steps you need to follow to add them. So, you can have level 1, 2, 3, OR 4 added to your item, but you can't do 1 and 2 or 2 and 3. Additionally, once an item has an enhancive on it, premium or not, it no longer qualifies for additional premium enhancives to be added.

The '''PERM-ifier''' allows for items with finite uses to be made permanent. It is an automated machine to make limited use items permanent and only accepts event [[currency]] as payment, with the type of currency depending on the event. It originally debuted at [[Ebon Gate]] in 2016 and has appeared at Ebon Gate each year since. At Ebon Gate's current [[Evermore Hollow]] venue, it is '''an enruned shadowglass obelisk''' located inside of the [[EHShop:Antiquarian Manor|Antiquarian Manor, Garden]] (8084692) and charges in [[soul shard]]s.

The PERM-ifier's debut at Ebon Gate 2016 was within [[Feywrot Mire]]'s Halfway Midway shop. In 2017 at [[Caligos Isle]], there were two obelisks, with each one taking a different type of currency ([[general ticket]]s and [[Ebon Gate seashell]]s); the prices for each were the same.

A PERM-ifier can be found at [[Rumor Woods]] at Diminishing Demises, where it charges in [[raikhen]].

To use the PERM-ifier, hold an applicable item in your right hand and {{boldmono|TOUCH}} the obelisk. The first touch will tell you the price, the second touch will deduct {{boldmono|[[REDEEM]]ed}} tickets from your total.

Took place July 20, 2025, 19:30-20:30 Eastern Standard Time

==INTRODUCTION==
Greetings! I'm GM Optheria, and I am your new Town Guru for River's Rest! I'm a long-time GS player, and have been a fan of River's Rest since the early 2000's, with several RR citizens residing in my stable of characters.

==OPTHERIA'S LIST==
Optheria says, "First... monthly citizen GALD sessions.... I'll be having monthly sessions, with a variety of weekday daytime, weekday evening, and weekend daytimes, rotating throughout. I'll keep a spinner for three months, before I clean it."

Optheria says, "Second, I've got one of my fellow GM's doing citizen WPS services, twice a year... I think one of those might be this month, actually... so, keep an eye out for those."
Optheria says, "For the Citizen GALD, you'll need to have 90+ days of citizenship. For Citizen WPS, you'll need 180+ days."

Optheria says, "I'm looking into getting a monthly Farmer's Market sort of thing going on, akin to Ta'Illistim's Wisteria Markets. I don't have anything solid yet, but it's the first thing I'm going to be working on that is a new project for the town."

Optheria says, "Continued updates and possible refreshes to the town shops will be on a rolling basis... most especially any stores that sell food, that aren't on the current food system (ala, food that can't go into baskets being updated to be able to be basket-ed)."

Optheria says, "I *know* higher hunting is a thing everyone wants, and I do as well... it is definitely on my radar, but a very LARGE project, so I have no timeframe/timeline for that... but, it is on my radar, and something I'm excited to work on for all of us."

Optheria says, "Another idea with some meat that I've received with the guruship was a plan for expanding our Voln Monastery here... it would be all roleplay expansion, but still... most things to explore and enjoy. That is low on the list, compared to the Farmer's Market and hunting, but still there."

Optheria says, "And finally, yet another idea, was an Aeian temple. Again, mostly roleplay-centric, but something that may be useful."

Optheria says, "Again, the monestary expansion and Aeian temple are low on my list, with the Farmer's Market and hunting ground being pretty high. Just listing off my ideas and such."

Optheria says, "And, of course, no timeline/timeframe for any of this. I'm going to try to be as open as possible with you all."

==QUESTIONS==
<b>First question:</b><br>
"First of all, welcome again Optheria. I think you have mostly covered off all my questions, especially with regards to hunting ground, but since I am here. Any storyline RP planned for the future?"<br>
Optheria says, "I don't have anything specific for storyline RP currently, but I am ALWAYS open to suggestions."<br>
Optheria says, "Will probably have a storyline for any sort of hunting grounds being opened, in the future."

<b>Second question:</b><br>
"Seeing as only dev GM's can make hunting grounds and they are busy on their own plans for forever which one are you suggesting we kidnap?"<br>
Optheria says, "I have my ideas on that... which I can't share at this time, unfortunately."

<b>Third Question:</b><br>
"In regards to storyline ideas, or even ideas for hunting zones, what would be the best way to get those over to you for consideration?"<br>
Optheria says, "My email is open, GS4-Optheria (at) play.net. Please put in the subject -River's Rest-, so I know how to sort it."<br>
Optheria says, "And that goes for anyone with ideas for the town."<br>
Optheria says, "I can't promise I will DO any of the ideas, but I definitely welcome the input."

<b>Fourth Question:</b><br>
"As for hunting, I think the area under the town before the blue barrier is not in The Citadel." "Is there any plans to address that point, like making it part of the Sea Caves or a relevant zone?" "Yes, the River Tunnels shouldn't have a LOCATION of the Citadel."<br>
Optheria says, "Okay, that's precisely the information I was going for. I'll look into it and see what I can find, and if it can, or should be, fixed."

<b>Fifth Question:</b><br>
"Can the various single room herbs be looked at for a possible expansion? I can't remember specifics as I leveled out a month or so back, but there was a few herbs that only appeared in one single room for bounties in the Citadel area."<br>
Optheria says, "I can investigate this as well.. I agree that it can be a pain when there is only one room in a whole area that has things for foraging for bounties."<br>
Optheria says, "I can't promise anything, of course, but I'll put it on my list for investigation."

<b>Sixth Question:</b><br>
Speaking squeakily to Optheria, Ntinly asks, "Wha kin I pay yas ta has ma title changed from Picklsmaster ta Picklemistress?"<br>
Speaking to Ntinly, Optheria exclaims, "No pay needed, I actually want to see if we can get that title able to be master or mistress!"<br>
Optheria exclaims, "We already have premium titles that look at that specific part of a character to see which title to give, so it shouldn't be too annoying to get. I can't promise it, of course, but definitely will look into it!"<br>
(left the name because well, we all know who is the Picklemaster)

<b>Seventh Question:</b><br>
"On the subject of bounties, is it possible as a stop gap, to have capped, or near-capped, bandits from the adventurer's guild? I haven't tried recently but last time I did I wasn't allowed to get any kind of bounty."<br>
Optheria says, "So, the adventurer's guild first checks to see if you can learn from anything in the realm.... no matter what type of bounty it's going to give after that check. It's how the guild was built. The only work-around, to get near-cap/cap bandits is to wear a Confluence soulstone... and then, you'd remove any Confluence bounties you get, to get to the bandits."

<b>Eighth Question:</b><br>
"Still thin we need true capped huntin round here.... bandit an pirates neva did me wrong."<br>
Optheria says, "I hope to work on hunting grounds for higher levels in the future... going to start with levels just over what the Citadel has, and work my way up from there. No timeline/timeframe, but it is definitely high on my list of things I want to do."

<b>Ninth Question:</b><br>
"So because I hate hoarding crystal amulets, any chance in the future residents could get some kind of magical trinket that would let them just pass through the log?"<br>
Optheria says, "Yup, driftwood is a thing... I don't remember if it's RR->Landing or Landing->RR though.."<br>
Driftwood amulets work like Crystal amulets for the boot but can only be purchased by Citizens in RR. Cheaper too

<b>Tenth Question:</b><br>
"We used to have duffel bags. Xayle didn't like that and altered things as duffle bags, but left the ones in the shop alone. More recently, those and gaffs and other things have all become illegal. Any plans for mixing things up as far as shops and item nouns?"<br>
Optheria says, "Indeed... if I do refreshes of shops, I'm going to try and make things more Rest-y unique."
(will have advanced notice of any shop refreshing, as well.)

<b>Eleventh Question:</b><br>
"Are there (premium) houses here?"<br>
Optheria says, "Yup, we've got three different premium home neighborhoods... two in-town, and one to the south of town."<br>
Optheria says, "A good map of those neighborhoods here: https://gswiki.play.net/images/gswiki/2/24/Homes4.gif .."<br>
"If they fill up, do we email you about more spaces?"<br>
Optheria says, "Yup, or ask on the River's Rest forum, or on the Premium forum on the Discord server."

Bericsaba Market/2025

2025-03-08T01:32:57Z

GS4-OPTHERIA: /* Story */ - Adding Zul Logoth invitation link

{{TOCright|limit=3}}

On the first weekend of Olaesta, the harbor market of [[Isle of Ornath|Ornath]], closed for much of the year, throws open its gates for a highly anticipated annual event. Farmers, poulterers, shepherds, and artisans from across the island descend upon the bustling square, eager to hawk their wares, test their skills, and stake their claim in the island's most prestigious culinary and craft competitions. For one weekend, the market is a whirlwind of voices calling out their goods, the scent of grilled fish and sweet preserves thick in the air, and the clatter of craftsmen setting up displays of finely woven textiles, carved driftwood trinkets, and freshly fired pottery.

Letters have begun appearing in various towns inviting citizens to take part in the contests of Bericsaba Market. The author appears to be [[Fevronia]] a sister of the [[Order of Lumnasi Viragos]] and a member of the Bericsaba Market planning committee.

<section begin=rundate />'''The 2025 Bericsaba Market runs Friday, April 4th, 2025 at 9pm - Midnight, Sunday, April 6th, 2025 and takes place in [[Sleeping Drake Harbor]] on the Isle of Ornath. It is hosted by the [[Order_of_Lumnasi_Viragos|Order of Lumnasi Viragos]].'''

Bericsaba Market/2025/2025 Zul Logoth

2025-03-08T01:25:00Z

GS4-OPTHERIA: Creation.

Knyvet of the Ragnak Clan travelled to Zul Logoth to inform citizens of an invitation to The Crowning Foam: Brewed To Perfection, a contest dedicated to the art of ale, to be judged during the Bericsaba Market on the Isle of Ornath.

<pre{{log2}}>
>read parchment
In the Common language, it reads:

Deliver to the Clan Leaders of Zul Logoth

Day 2 of the month Charlatos in the year 5125

To the Esteemed Clanleaders of Zul Logoth,

As Olaesta approaches, the Isle of Ornath stirs with excitement for the return of Bericsaba Market. For one weekend, Sleeping Drake Harbor will be transformed into a grand festival of trade, camaraderie, and spirited competition, where artisans and culinarians from all walks of life gather to test their craft against one another. This year, we look beyond our shores to seek true masters of their trades, and when it comes to ale, there are few names spoken with more reverence than those of Zul Logoth.

It is with great admiration that we formally invite the famed brewmasters of Zul Logoth to The Crowning Foam: Brewed to Perfection, a contest dedicated to the art of ale. Across Elanith, it is said that if anyone knows a fine brew, it is the dwarves of Zul Logoth. Your techniques are the stuff of legend, spoken of in taverns both grand and humble, and we would be honored to see your finest ales put to the test against the best Ornath has to offer. Whether golden and crisp, dark and rich, or something wholly unexpected, this is a challenge of balance, depth, and the mastery that turns grain and water into liquid gold.

With the Mana Storms receding, travel to Ornath has become far more accessible. The Chronomages have sanctioned a transportation house in Sleeping Drake Harbor, easing the journey for those eager to attend. The harbor itself nears completion on its expansions, ready to receive ships, while the stables should be finished in time for those who prefer to travel mounted.

We hope that Zul Logoth will send its finest to answer this challenge and share in the spirit of friendly competition. Whether as competitors, judges, or honored guests, your presence would bring great distinction to this year's Bericsaba Market.

With the highest respect and eager anticipation,
Fevronia, Sister of the Lumnasi Viragos
On Behalf of the Bericsaba Market Committee

Vivid emerald parchment, thin and textured, carries the warmth of jungle canopies kissed by sunlight. Five interlocking rings form a striking header, their overlapping shapes embossed with subtle depth. Along the left and right edges, a cascade of feathers shimmers with gold foil outlines, each plume curling as if caught in a gentle breeze. Visible fibers lend a tactile richness to the surface, a testament to expert craftsmanship.

On the first weekend of Olaesta, the harbor market of [[Isle of Ornath|Ornath]], closed for much of the year, throws open its gates for a highly anticipated annual event. Farmers, poulterers, shepherds, and artisans from across the island descend upon the bustling square, eager to hawk their wares, test their skills, and stake their claim in the island's most prestigious culinary and craft competitions. For one weekend, the market is a whirlwind of voices calling out their goods, the scent of grilled fish and sweet preserves thick in the air, and the clatter of craftsmen setting up displays of finely woven textiles, carved driftwood trinkets, and freshly fired pottery.

Letters have begun appearing in various towns inviting citizens to take part in the contests of Bericsaba Market. The author appears to be [[Fevronia]] a sister of the [[Order of Lumnasi Viragos]] and a member of the Bericsaba Market planning committee.

Bericsaba Market/2025/Teras Isle Invitation

2025-03-06T01:24:48Z

GS4-OPTHERIA: Teras Isle Bericsaba Market invite meeting

Knyvet of the Ragnak Clan met with citizens of Kharam-Dzu to share a communication that had been handed down to her from the clan leaders.

<pre{{log2}}>
In the Common language, it reads:

Deliver to the Clan Leaders of Teras Isle

Day 2 of the month Charlatos in the year 5125

To the Esteemed Clan Leaders of Teras Isle,

As Olaesta approaches, the Isle of Ornath once again prepares for the grand spectacle of Bericsaba Market. For one weekend, Sleeping Drake Harbor will be alive with the calls of traders, the scent of sizzling fare, and the friendly clash of competition as artisans put their skills to the test. This year, as we extend invitations beyond our shores, our attention has turned to Teras Isle -- and, admittedly, to a curiosity that has captured our imagination.

I must confess, we do not know if Teras Isle is famed for its bread. If it is, that secret has been well kept. But recent readings have led us to Beard Bread, a topic that has intrigued the people of Ornath to no end. Whether true or exaggerated, we cannot let this mystery lie unanswered. It is with great enthusiasm that we invite the skilled bakers of Teras Isle to The Rise and Fall: A Leavening Agent, a contest dedicated to the noble craft of breadmaking.

From soft, pillowy loaves to dense and hearty rations, bread is a staple of every culture, shaped by the lands from which it comes. The islanders of Ornath take great pride in their own traditions, but they would be honored to test their skills against those of Teras Isle. Whether the famed Beard Bread makes an appearance or some other masterful creation rises to the occasion, this contest is a challenge of flavor, texture, and time-honored skill.

With the Mana Storms receding, travel to Ornath has become far more accessible. The Chronomages have sanctioned a transportation house in Sleeping Drake Harbor, ensuring an easier journey for those eager to attend. The harbor's expansions near completion, ready to receive ships from across the sea, while the stables should be finished in time for mounted travelers.

It is our hope that Teras Isle will take up this challenge and join us in good-spirited competition. Whether as contestants, judges, or honored guests, your presence would be a welcome addition to this year's Bericsaba Market.

With warm regards and eager anticipation,
Fevronia, Sister of the Lumnasi Viragos
On Behalf of the Bericsaba Market Committee

Vivid emerald parchment, thin and textured, carries the warmth of jungle canopies kissed by sunlight. Five interlocking rings form a striking header, their overlapping shapes embossed with subtle depth. Along the left and right edges, a cascade of feathers shimmers with gold foil outlines, each plume curling as if caught in a gentle breeze. Visible fibers lend a tactile richness to the surface, a testament to expert craftsmanship.

Thank you,

Hello Kebechet! I did an oopsie last night and created a [[:Category:Profession Services|Profession Services]] category... and this morning, I realized there is a [[Player service]] page that should probably actually be the page used for the Profession Services category.

=== Timeline - Imperial Northern Aggression ===

HOST-GSKEBECHET talk contribs‎ m 21,289 bytes −54‎ Updating categories; unofficial content such as player-written should avoid manually using the wiki's over-encompassing categories

Burghalgnome:Sorry was copying the format used by [[Modern Imperial History:5103 - Present]] and [[Protectorate]] both of which are player=written and have manually added categories. Perhaps you can explain.
:Hi there, BURGHALGNOME. In response to your question about the categories I adjusted on your article, [[Timeline - Imperial Northern Aggression]], this was done because the article is presented as a character-written essay and was labeled by you as player-written creative content. Typically, larger over-encompassing categories such as those for an entire nation or race are not appropriate for player-written creative content. However, smaller and more specialized categories, such as [[:Category:Wehnimer's Landing Independence]] are still very appropriate; those smaller categories are in turn lumped in with the larger categories to help facilitate users finding related articles. The examples you shared are standalone articles and not player-written creative content. There are tens of thousands of articles on the Gswiki, and if some are improperly categorized, other moderators or I adjust them as we run across them. This is usually, but not exclusively, based on which articles have had recent edits, which is why you likely have seen that many older articles are not necessarily in compliance with current Gswiki Style Guide standards.
:Hopefully this explanation helps you better understand why I adjusted the categories on your article. As an aside, if you ever need to add a "signature" to a something communicated via talk pages, you can do so by inserting <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> following your message; while not required, it is an easy way to do so that is built into the Media Wiki software. Thank you again for all of your contributions to the Gswiki. Please let me know if you have any other questions. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 09:02, 23 May 2024 (CDT)

Thank you for the signature tip, if I understand what you are saying the reason this article was changed but the other timeline is not in need of a change is because I marked it as player written and it has a forward that implies it is in character, if I remove that the tags can be reapplied? [[User:BURGHALGNOME|BURGHALGNOME]] ([[User talk:BURGHALGNOME|talk]]) 09:54, 23 May 2024 (CDT)
:You're welcome. To answer your question, because you flagged the article as being a creative work, it is held to those specific standards ([[Gswiki:Style guide/Creative works]]) and is also not necessarily subject to other standards that apply to different types of articles. If the timeline is instead a general article, then it is held to those other standards outlined in the [[Gswiki:Style guide]]. This means that it may be heavily edited by many other users and is subject to presenting information in a neutral/in-universe point of view. If the creative-works template was added by mistake, then it is possible that some categories may be appropriate for adding back in if the template is removed. It would also mean that I review the content for any additional style guide requirements and make those adjustments as needed. For example, some of the character quotes may be removed entirely and some of the text changed to adhere to the style guide standards. If you have further questions, you are welcome to reach out to me however you may not get a timely response, in which case I suggest asking the Wiki team on the Gemstone [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926 Discord forum's wiki thread]. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 10:11, 23 May 2024 (CDT)

Thank you, I believe all the character quotes in the actual timeline are NPCs for the sake of context. I will discuss this with some other parties and decide on a direction. It may just make more sense to edit the other timeline with this information or to remove the template and leave it as is but that will depend on overall expectations.

== Elanthian Journals ==

By chance are you able to see the old Elanthian Journal pages that were deleted? I just realized.. one thing I never did is check each one to see what linked to them. I just found a page that linked to a Journal :| [[User:WINTERDAWN|WINTERDAWN]] ([[User talk:WINTERDAWN|talk]]) 16:52, 12 August 2022 (CDT)
:Unfortunately, no. Once a page is deleted, it is gone-gone. However, I was able to pull up a list of broken links and adjusted seven pages that appeared to reference the old Elanthian Journal pages. That should hopefully have caught any others that were overlooked! [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 09:45, 16 August 2022 (CDT)
::Thank you for this! Sorry for the extra work. [[User:WINTERDAWN|WINTERDAWN]] ([[User talk:WINTERDAWN|talk]]) 15:44, 16 August 2022 (CDT)
:::Very welcome! Thank you for bringing up the potential of broken links. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 08:14, 17 August 2022 (CDT)

== Merchants template ==

I cobbled that template together in 2019, as a pet project, when things were a little more relaxed. So many people were "remember that one merchant? Where were they?? What did they look like??", that it felt like a good addition. Anyway, it was a build based on a template someone else had done, as you've likely read. I had planned on continuing work on it, then COVID hit and I turned into a homeschool teacher for two young teenagers.

Venues: the primary reason I changed those venues was because it was putting so many merchants into categories that didn't exist, and may not have been the best one for them to go into ''at the time''. By restricting category to "wandering" and others that already had a category made, it cut down on "red links"; '''wandering''' moved them into a common category and could be changed later. '''Generally speaking''', if they had a mention in their blurb as to what venue they attended, I removed the category that was causing a red link, although any that did not were likely an oversight (the notable exception being Elsia - I forgot to research her item, '''Fancy Coats''', so I could add the venue).

Towns: it was my intention to adapt the template to allow them to be placed into the category '''for that town'''. An example would be citizen-only merchants such as Duvernith or Davro. I admittedly got wrapped up in EG item-adding and had not gotten back to fixing the "town" venue to populate into town pages instead of '''Town''' NPCs, a category that doesn't exist, so I just left town uncategorized for the time being.

Many of those merchants I added myself with no real idea of what venues they had visited, in that hopes of at least having an appearance and a basic blurb to be expanded upon later. I had intended to continue with the work after EG and add category pages where appropriate. That section of the template might get pretty long for particularly industrious merchants! '''Wandering''' seemed like a good fit if they didn't have what might be considered a "primary festival" (for example, I wouldn't be surprised to see Elusionari in a lot of places!).

That said, I get that once you add a template, you basically lose any claim to it being "yours". However, no one else really took an interest in it, and I was told it would need work anyway, so I figured I was all right to try to adapt it to '''not''' use non-existent categories for the time being, since many (most?) of them had venue linked in the blurb or the body of the article. (TL:DR yet? LOL)[[User:ECHEAUX|ECHEAUX]] ([[User talk:ECHEAUX|talk]]) 12:09, 26 October 2022 (CDT)

== Table updates ==

Hello! As I'm sure you've noticed, I've been going through and updating older items to the newer templates. A lot of them are simple, but some of them require more time; much more time in some cases. For those, fortunately, a lot them are more or less copy and paste for the verb lists with a few minor tweaks. I noticed that on a couple of them you've gone back and added in formatting for data tables for accessibility purposes. I read up on that today and I'll be sure to add that going forward, but I was wondering: Is there a way you are finding those that need it or are you just kind of seeing them as I'm doing them? I'd be more than happy to go back correct the formatting on those, but if there's a way I can find them more "wholesale" than "piecemeal", that would make the job easier. [[User:ECHEAUX|ECHEAUX]] ([[User talk:ECHEAUX|talk]]) 17:40, 9 November 2022 (CST)
:Hi there! Part of my duties as one of our wiki mods are to review recent page changes to ensure that they are appropriate to the wiki, are accurate, are appropriately named as a page or subpage, and that they generally comply with the wiki style guide. So you'll see me doing things like updating pages to use new template standards, moving pages that aren't named properly, fixing redirects or broken links, updating categories, reviewing pages listed in [[:Category:Marked for Deletion]], and similar "moderator" type duties focused on overall wiki consistency that are not expected of general users who instead are adding new content to the wiki. One of the standards set out by the style guide and the wiki team is to ensure that the wiki is as accessible as possible to everyone, including our users who rely on a screen reader. If I run across any pages during my patrols that don't meet current standards, including tables that are not set up in a way for screen readers to properly capture, part of my job as a moderator is to update them accordingly. Since you have been incredibly active on the wiki over the past couple of months, I am much more likely to review your edits than other users due to sheer volume; that's why it might look like I'm going back to change pages you've touched more so than other users. Thanks for inquiring! If you'd like to know more about our moderator team or what our role is, I encourage you to ask on the Gemstone Discord's #wiki-talk channel where one of the GMs overseeing the wiki can chime in.

::Oh, I understand that. I just wasn't sure if there was an easy way to see pages with certain errors so I could fix those that I missed them on.

== Northern Sentinel's Decree==

Hello! My intention with this page was to list only the legal characteristics of the Landing's protectorate status. I deliberately did not want to include the preamble and ending of the letter, as they did not carry legal weight. As such, I would like to revert it to a version which contains only those legal characteristics. In my view, a log page or official document page would be more appropriate for recording the entire letter. [[User:WBURKE1|WBURKE1]] ([[User talk:WBURKE1|talk]])
:Hi, WBURKE1. Thanks for reaching out to me! I am not ignoring your query; I am waiting on a response from the larger wiki team about how to approach this specific scenario with the article [[Northern Sentinel's Decree on the Imperial Protection of Wehnimer's Landing]]. As I explained to WINTERDAWN, generally speaking an article's Talk page is not an appropriate venue for archiving important information. Given the nature of this specific article as well as the duplicate information between it and the article [[Protectorate]], I am waiting on confirmation on how best to handle it before taking any further action. Unless another mod or GM weighs in before me, it will likely not be until next week that I can relay the final determination. I appreciate your patience and understanding with this. Thank you again for all of your contributions to the wiki. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 09:40, 9 February 2023 (CST)
::Hello again, WBURKE1. After consulting with the wiki team, I have adjusted [[Northern Sentinel's Decree on the Imperial Protection of Wehnimer's Landing]] to show the previous version of the text instead of the log. I have transcluded the identically presented information from [[Protectorate]] onto [[Northern Sentinel's Decree on the Imperial Protection of Wehnimer's Landing]]. I have updated text on the page to link to the log excerpt on [[Protectorate]] instead of referencing the article's talk page. I have also updated the article's Talk page to remove the previously saved log excerpt, to clarify what its purpose is, and to direct anyone viewing it to [[Protectorate#5123]], which is where the complete log excerpt is located. This should help ensure that the intent behind the original page, which is to succinctly state the terms of the Landing's Protectorate status, is maintained while still preserving information. Thank you again for your patience as I worked to resolve this. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Covert Arts

GS4-OPTHERIA: Adding 'Profession Services' category.

{{Player System Manager
|mnemonic = CA or PC

==Covert Arts Overview==
A rogue is able to train characters in Covert Arts, which increases their ability to react to and overcome various situations. There are five available arts and each art has five available ranks. Characters lose this knowledge over time and must visit a rogue to keep their training fresh.

Poisoncraft, one of the five covert arts, is slightly different than the others, in which a student must learn ranks in Poisoncraft to be able to '''APPLY''' and '''USE''' poisons. Only rogues are able to craft poisons and teach Poisoncraft and each rank unlocks access to new poison options.

Each week while the Rogue gains experience, they also earn points of '''GUILE''' alongside at a 1:1 rate. They can earn a total of 50k of these points per week, and bank up to 200k total. They can then spend 50k/75k/100k/125k/150k of these points to attempt to teach Covert Arts to another character, based on how many ranks of the art the character knows.

Knowledge wanes over time and must be kept up to date by a rogue experienced enough to handle your training. Covert Arts have 200 max charges, similar to enhancive items, and will deplete at approximately the same rate. Every rank learned refreshes the charges back to 200.

Arts may be taught in any order, and you are not required to reach rank 5 in one art before moving onto another. A failure will result in a loss of 10% of the points of Guile required for the attempt. Consent is required to complete the process.

Reaching the maximum guile for the week will show as: You have plied your wiles with wit and guile; you must bide your time until new opportunities arise.

===Teaching Covert Arts===
*Purchase rogue training materials ('''a nondescript bundle of supplies''') from the Rogue Guild Workshop for 50,000 silvers.
*FEAT COVERT TEACH {character} {art} to attempt to train a character in one additional rank of the chosen art.
*The rogue must have met the training requirements of the art themselves to be eligible.

<pre{{log2}}>
>feat covert teach dwarf keen
You examine Dwarf for Keen Eye training, and estimate that you can only fail if you are horribly unlucky.
Training Dwarf in Keen Eye will require 50,000 guile.
You are requesting consent to teach Keen Eye to Dwarf. Dwarf has 30 seconds to grant or refuse his consent.
>
Dwarf has granted consent to be taught a Covert Art.
To continue with training, click TEACH in the next 30 seconds.

>feat covert teach ful keen
You examine Dwarf for Keen Eye training, and estimate that you can only fail if you are horribly unlucky.

...teaching script continues based on covert art...
</pre>

===Replenishing Covert Arts Charges===
*Rogues may refresh covert art training at a cost of 1000 guile per charge using the FEAT COVERT TRAIN {character} command.
*Running out of charges will prevent you from gaining any Covert Art benefits, but will not reset your progress for each Art.
*Free to play rogues are not eligible to teach Covert Arts, but may still learn the skills through normal training.

===Success Formula===
<pre{{log2}}>Rogue Level + (2 * Influence bonus) + Guild ranks + Ambush ranks + (Pickpocketing ranks / 2) + Art Skill + (2 * Art Stat) - Rank Modifier - Existing Arts Modifier + d100 > 100, for success.
</pre>

The Rank Modifier is equal to 100 * the target rank of the attempt. The Existing Arts Modifier is equal to 30 * the number of existing Ranks (0-20) the character knows in other arts.

Guile may be '''SUFFUSED''' at a rate of 1000 per 1 bonus which matches Resist Nature (620).

Recharge formula is the same as teaching except it uses the average of all Art Skills, the average of all Art Stats, and the Rank Modifier is equal to the max rank known of any Covert Art.

===Stats and Skills for Success===
*Sidestep: Dodging & Discipline
*Keen Eye: Perception & Intuition
*Escape Artist: Combat Maneuvers & Agility
*Swift Recovery: Physical Fitness & Constitution
*Poisoncraft: Survival & Dexterity

===Innate Bonuses===
Rogues have additional bonuses that are unlocked through normal skill training. Each rank of an Art is unlocked automatically once the rogue meets the training requirements specified at the end of each art below.

*Grant additional benefits and are '''permanently''' available provided the rogue maintains training requirements.
*Rogues may be taught from other rogues, but without the required training they will not gain any innate bonuses.
*Rogues may only teach ranks of Covert Arts that they themselves have unlocked through the appropriate skill training.

<pre{{log2}}>
You examine Kaetel for Poisoncraft training, and estimate that you can only fail if you are horribly unlucky.
You pull Kaetel aside to instruct him in the finer points of Poisoncraft.

As you begin your lesson on Poisoncraft, you rummage through your bundle of supplies and retrieve a few vials of viscous liquid. With careful handling and firm direction, you demonstrate the proper application of the different poisons and describe their effects.
You make a decent attempt.

Success! The training continues smoothly, a mixture of explanation and further demonstration, with Kaetel following along closely. Satisfied, you conclude the lesson, confident that he has thoroughly grasped the material.
Roundtime: 10 sec.
</pre>

===General Information===

*Poison Resistance (105) and innate Poisoncraft resistance reduce the chance of application and the effects of applied poisons.
*Unpoison (114) may be used to completely remove the effects of any poison.

*Poisons do not count against your gear difficulty but do have limited charges.
*Poison vials may be used as an AOE to affect one or more targets.
**This is a SMR attack that uses Thrown Weapon ranks and Dexterity bonus to succeed.
**The number of targets is based on the PSM AoE formula of (3 + (MoC Skill / 50)).
**The result is based on the endroll margin as well as the quality of the poison.
**Using poison in this way will deplete 5 charges from a vial, discarding when emptied.
**Usage: FEAT THROWPOISON

===Armament Breakdown===
*'''Armor and Accessories'''
**Disabling poisons only
**Chance to be applied reactively or contact from Maneuvers, or spikes.
*'''Shields'''
**Disabling poisons only
**Chance to be applied on any successful block while in an aggressive stance, contact from Shield Specializations, or spikes.
*'''Weapons'''
**Deadly or Disabling poisons
**Chance on any successful attack or a parry while in an aggressive stance.
*'''Runestaves'''
**Deadly or Disabling poisons
**Chance on successful offensive spell cast or parry while in an aggressive stance.

*Charges on poisoned armaments may be refreshed, but not stacked.
*Charges on poisoned armaments deplete only when successfully applied to a target.
*Poison vials may not be applied to ammunition and must be applied to ranged weapons.
*Poisons may stack on the target depending on the poison type.
*Poisons have varying flare rates. In general, disabling poisons will apply more often than deadly poisons, and weaker effects will flare more often than stronger effects.
*The character must have knowledge of Poisoncraft to effectively use poisons. Attempting to use a poisoned armament or poison vial without proper training may have disastrous results.

===Poison Vials===
*Poison vials have a quality which determines the strength of the poison inside. The strength of a poison is used in determining the duration of disabling effects and the amount of damage.
*Creating vials uses the ranks in poisoncraft to determine the strength of the poison vial. Strength is determined at poison creation and transfers to the vial as a boost to either the duration or the damage range of the poison (for damage-causing poisons).
*Supplies to create poison vials ('''an unremarkable apothecary kit''') may be purchased at the Rogue Guild Shop for 10,000 silver.
*Apothecary kits are generic and may be used to create all types of poisons.

Battle Standard (1620)

GS4-OPTHERIA: Adding 'Profession Services' category.

{{TOC limit|10}} 



After gaining the ability to cast '''Battle Standard''', a [[paladin]] will begin to acquire [[devotion]] as they gain [[experience]]. A skilled paladin can use this devotion to permanently empower a battle standard for use in combat. Battle standards occupy their own unique inventory slot and provide both offensive and defensive benefits. [[F2P subscription | F2P]] paladins cannot create battle standards.

== Abilities ==

=== Tier 1 - Rally ===
Activated with {{boldmono|PRAY}} while dead. Allows a corpse to teleport itself back to town. 1 use per day at tier 1 and 2 uses per day at tier 3.

=== Tier 2 - Hallowed Reprisal ===
Activated with {{boldmono|CLENCH}}. Invoke the power of the standard's deity to create an aura that periodically lashes out at nearby creatures for 3 minutes. Base 60 minute cooldown with 15 minutes subtracted at tiers 3, 4, and 5, resulting in a 15 minute cooldown at tier 5.

=== Tier 3 - Reckoning ===
Passive ability - always active. Your attacks have a chance to unleash the power of the standard's deity. Each additional tier increases the likelihood that this will occur.

=== Tier 4 - Ardent Plea ===
Activated with {{boldmono|RAISE}}. Your attacks have a 100% chance to trigger Reckoning and unleash the power of the standard's deity. This effect lasts 30 seconds and has a 30 minute cooldown. At tier 5 the cooldown is reduced to 15 minutes.

=== Tier 5 - Divine Bulwark ===
Passive ability - always active. When you receive a blow, the standard may summon an ethereal shield to lessen the severity of the blow. If an ethereal shield is summoned in this way, the standard's deity will unleash a retaliatory flare against the attacker.

=== Tier 6 - Final Stand ===
Activated with {{boldmono|BESEECH}}. The standard's deity comes to your aid for 30 seconds, ensuring that all incoming blows will be subject to Divine Bulwark's abilities. Can be activated while incapacitated or in roundtime. 1 use per day.

== Skill Formula ==

* [[Level]]: +1 per level
* [[Paladin Base | Paladin Spell Ranks]]: +2 per rank up to level, +1 per rank above level ("up to level" is based on 1x spell training and thus a level 50 paladin with 100 ranks will have 52 ranks at +2 and 48 ranks at +1)
* [[Wisdom]]: +1 per stat bonus
* [[Influence]]: +1 per stat bonus
* [[Spiritual Mana Control]]: +1 per rank
* [[Magic Item Use]]: +1.5 per rank
* [[Arcane Symbols]]: +1.5 per rank
* [[Holy places | Shrine]] Bonus: +20 for matching [[CONVERT (verb)|{{boldmono|CONVERT}}]] exactly, +10 for same {{boldmono|CONVERT}} pantheon (bonuses do not stack)
* Being wounded and not at maximum spirit will hinder attempts

The difficulty is calculated by: 75 + (tier * 75)

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

== Creation and Upgrade Process==
To create a battle standard, the paladin must have a minimum of 50,000 devotion, be able to cast 1620, and be holding '''a consecrated banner pole''' in the right hand and '''a phial of clouded oil''' in the left hand. Both of these items can be purchased at [[:Category:Cleric_shops | cleric shops]] located in various towns.

#{{boldmono|PREP 1620}} and {{boldmono|CAST}} at the pole to start. This will also give you a sense of how successful you will be.
#{{boldmono|PREP 1620}} and {{boldmono|CHANNEL}} at the pole to make an attempt

Your first successful {{boldmono|CHANNEL}} will create a tier 1 battle standard that reflects your paladin's patron deity (or lack thereof). Subsequent successful service applications to a battle standard will upgrade the tier, up to a maximum of 6, and require oil charges equal to the tier being attempted. Oil can be bundled beforehand for more charges/doses.

Performing the battle standard creation or upgrade at a [[Holy places | shrine]] that matches the casting paladin's patron deity will provide a bonus to success.

You can {{boldmono|INCANT 1620}} for an idea of how much devotion you have and whether you have enough for your purposes. You can also utilize the {{boldmono|[[RESOURCE]]}} verb for a numerical readout of your weekly and total devotion, as well as how much you have {{boldmono|SUFFUSE}}d.

== Attunement ==

Battle standards become attuned when used or when their deity is converted at a shrine. Attunement lasts 30 days and the attuned character may continue to use the battle standard during this time without resetting the attunement countdown.

== Charges ==

A new battle standard comes with 200 charges - if all charges are drained, it will stop working. Charges are drained in a somewhat random manner similar to [[Enhancive item]]s, but only during combat. The rate of charges being used is not affected by how often the battle standard provides a benefit nor how often you may attack or be attacked, so those who have more "spammy" hunting styles are not penalized. When a charge is drained, there is an unknown and perhaps random cooldown period where no more charges may be drained.

Charges will not drain from a paladin's standard if they were the last one to upgrade it.

Upgrading your battle standard to the next tier refills the charges to 200. You may also have a paladin add charges at a cost of 1000 devotion per charge. The paladin must {{boldmono|PREPARE 1620}} and {{boldmono|EVOKE}} at the battle standard to recharge.

== Deity Conversion ==

You may visit a shrine honoring a specific deity to convert the standard to that deity. To do so, simply {{boldmono|PRAY STANDARD TO DEITY}}, where DEITY is the appropriate deity name (ex: Kai, Andelas, etc). You can also {{boldmono|PRAY STANDARD TO NONE}} to clear the standard's influencing deity.

This ability is subject to a 30 day cooldown.

== Analyze ==

<pre{{log2}}>
You analyze the battle standard and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This is a tier 6 Battle Standard.

Tier
1: Rally [PRAY] - While dead, allows a corpse to teleport itself back to town. 1 use per day at tier 1 and 2 uses per day at tier 3.
2: Hallowed Reprisal [CLENCH] - Invoke the power of the standard's deity to create an aura that periodically lashes out at nearby creatures for 3 minutes. Base 60 minute cooldown with 15 minutes subtracted at tiers 3, 4, and 5, resulting in a 15 minute cooldown at tier 5.
3: Reckoning - Your attacks have a chance to unleash the power of the standard's deity. Each additional tier increases the likelihood that this will occur.
4: Ardent Plea [RAISE] - Your attacks have a 100% chance to trigger Reckoning and unleash the power of the standard's deity. This effect lasts 30 seconds and has a 30 minute cooldown. At tier 5 the cooldown is reduced to 15 minutes.
5: Divine Bulwark - When you receive a blow, the standard may summon an ethereal shield to lessen the severity of the blow. If an ethereal shield is summoned in this way, the standard's deity will unleash a retaliatory flare against the attacker.
6: Final Stand [BESEECH] - The standard's deity comes to your aid for 30 seconds, ensuring that all incoming blows will be subject to Divine Bulwark's abilities. Can be activated while incapacitated or in roundtime. 1 use per day.

Attunement: Attuned to Nyxus (29 days remaining)
Charges: 200
Deity: No deity
Deity Primary Color: Grey
Deity Secondary Color: Silver
Rally [PRAY]: Ready
Hallowed Reprisal [CLENCH]: Ready
Ardent Plea [RAISE]: Ready
Final Stand [BESEECH]: On Cooldown

If the standard's deity conversion ability is not on cooldown, you may visit a shrine honoring a specific deity to convert the standard to that deity. To do so, simply PRAY standard TO <deity>. This ability is subject to a 30 day cooldown, and the cooldown is not currently active.

The battle standard can be TUCKed while worn in order to hide it from sight.

This is a flag on a pole, and the description should not conflict with that. Base, long, and show description can be altered. Because of the holy and magical nature of this item, the description may include the following words: holy, sacred, consecrated, sacrosanct, and hallowed.

There will always be a reference to the pole and the banner upon LOOKing at this item. Please take this into account when composing your show description. The material may be changed to other types of wood at the merchant's discretion. Allowed nouns: standard, flag, banner, ensign, pennant, pennon, banderole, banderol, bannerol, oriflamme, and gonfalon. Finally, any and all alterations will be irreversibly removed if the battle standard is ever converted to another deity in the future.

The battle standard may not be lightened.

Mystic tattoo

2024-11-18T01:34:56Z

GS4-OPTHERIA: Adding 'Profession Services' category.

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

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

Mystic tattoos have 100 charges when applied, and are fully recharged when upgraded to a higher circle. Monks can also add charges at a cost of 1000 motes per charge. By design, it is expected that monks will have reasonable success at applying tiers in steps of 20 levels, so a 20th level Monk may apply a first circle (tier 1) and a 100th level monk may apply a fifth circle (tier 5) with reasonable success chance. There is not an explicit level requirement to do any tier of mystic tattoo.

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

==Motes of Tranquility==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A successful application requires the following calculation to be made:

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

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

==Additional Information==

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

Grit is directly gained from experience and does count lumnis bonus experience as well. If you earned 50,000 experience in 1 week, you will have earned 50,000 Grit. Also ascension being turned on will not increase the amount of experience needed per week. Your week is the same as your [[Gift_of_Lumnis#LUMNIS_.28verb.29|Lumnis]] week and you can see it's new start date when typing [[Gift_of_Lumnis#LUMNIS_.28verb.29|{{boldmono|LUMNIS INFO}}]]. You can check your weekly grit progress, and your current grit total by typing [[RESOURCE_(verb)|{{boldmono|RESOURCE}}]].

For example.

A level 50 player, with 50% ascension active who gained 25,000 experience, and 25,000 Ascension experience will have earned the full 50,000 grit for the week.

===Gear Difficulty Modifiers===

{{Material_Gear_Difficulty_Modifier}}
{{Script_Gear_Difficulty_Modifier}}
{{Other_Gear_Difficulty_Modifier}}

==== Weighting/Padding Difficulty ====
The difficulty added by WPS is the difficulty is the square of CER, truncated, i.e. trunc(CER²). Whatever the percent to reach the next CER level is also used. Example, CER plus 10 % chance to get 6 CER would be trunc(5.1²), which is -26 difficulty. Mixed types are the sum of each type's square - i.e. [crit trunc(CER²)] + [dmg trunc(CER²)].

Examples:

* To get the partial CER take the number of services above the last full CER level, and divide by the total number of services between levels. For CER 4 with 43 services, this would be 3 / 10 = .3. For CER 6 with 75 services this would be:
** Services: 75
** Services for CER 6: 70
** Services for CER 7: 90
** Distance between them: 20
** Calculation: (75 - 70) / (90-70) = 5 / 20 = .25
** A CER 6 with 75 services will have an effective 25% chance to act as a CER 7. This is the same partial calculation used for the difficulty penalty.
* 48 services would result in an overall CER of 4.8: 4 full levels of CER plus an 80% chance to act as a CER 6 in combat. This would be a TRUNC(4.8^2) difficulty modifier. 4.8^2 = 23.04. TRUNC(23.04) = a difficulty modifier of 23.
* 51 services would result in an overall CER of 5.05. 5 full levels of CER plus a 5% chance of acting as a CER 6 in combat. This would be a difficulty penalty of TRUNC(5.05^2) = TRUNC(25.5025) = a difficulty modifier of 25.

===Step-By-Step Guide===
*(Recommended) Heal all wounds/spirit loss, and equip any desired enhancives (Ex: Str/Dis).
*Proceed to a Warrior Guild workshop. (Example: the Wehnimer's Landing workshop is Lich room #16995.)
*(Recommended) Enter {{boldmono|SUFFUSE ESTIMATE}} with the item in your right hand. If you see a "You will need at least ## suffused energy..." message, this represents essentially your % chance of failure; you will need to either use your suffused grit to overcome the item's difficulty, or accept the risk of failure, if you continue.
*Enter {{boldmono|BUY SERVICE PACK}}, then {{boldmono|BUY CONFIRM}}. Service packs cost 25,000 silvers each; the shop master will accept notes. You can buy and store multiple packs for multiple attempts.
*With the item in your right hand and a service supply pack in your left hand, enter {{boldmono|FEAT WPS ASSESS (DAMAGE or CRITICAL or SIGHTING) (ITEM)}}. Ideally you will see this message: "...you can only fail if you are horribly unlucky." This indicates that you will only fail on a fumble roll (d100=1 thru 3). If you see any other message, refer to point #3 above. (A full chart of all the messages can be found [[Enchant_(925)#Difficulty_Detection|here]].)
*If needed, enter {{boldmono|SUFFUSE APPLY ##}} to use suffused grit to boost your success chance.
*Click {{boldmono|APPLY}} or type {{boldmono|FEAT WPS APPLY}} to make your attempt. Success will cost 25,000 grit for weapons and torso armor, or 10,000 grit for armor accessories. Failure will cost 10% of the success cost.
*(Recommended) If it's your item, [[REGISTER_(verb)|{{boldmono|REGISTER}}]] the item when you're done gritting to preserve changes in case a GM needs to restore a lost item. If it's someone else's item, remind the owner to register it.

Suffusion

2024-11-18T01:33:49Z

GS4-OPTHERIA: Adding 'Profession Services' category.

'''Suffusion''' was announced by GameMaster [[User:GS4-VIDUUS|Viduus]] on October 12, 2021. Suffusion allows any class with a service offering ([[Enchant (925)]], [[Ensorcell (735)]], [[mystic tattoo]]s, [[grit]], etc.) to convert profession resource points (essence, necro, grit, motes) into an alternative energy that can be used to offset skill deficiencies. The goal of this mechanic is to allow roughly two T5-tier level attempts with an increased 500 skill per year.

Since not all professions are created the same, each has a custom conversion rate based on primary profession resource accumulation. You can find your rate by using {{boldmono|SUFFUSE HELP}} when on an eligible class.

Additional notes:
* There are no caps on the amount of suffused energy you can store.
* Low level service providers can use suffused energy to offset level and skill inadequacies.
* You may use the suffused energy to test item casts. The energy will only be expended when you actually perform the service, not on test casts.
* Even with suffusion you are still subject to the native fumble rolls of the service.
* Failing a service will result in a loss of 10% of the suffused energy applied to the service.
* You can use the {{boldmono|SUFFUSE ESTIMATE}} option to determine the exact amount of suffused energy required to completely offset skill inadequacies. This estimate is the amount needed for a 99% success but is dependent on the conditions present at time of use. If you aren't in a workshop or shrine, are injured, low spirit, etc., then your estimate will factor in those conditions and may quote you more energy requirements than you actually need. The ideal use of this estimate is just before casting when you are already prepared to perform the actual service.

== Conversion Table ==

Song of Luck (1006)

__NOTOC__
'''Song of Luck''' improves the overall luck of a [[bard]] and their [[group]] by giving an increased chance of success at performing certain actions, such as [[creature maneuver]]s, [[Combat Maneuvers]], and [[Disarming Traps]]. The spell does not always increase the luck of the bard and their party; however, increased training in the [[Bard Base]] circle increases the chances that this spell will activate.

Instead of outright raising the chance for an event to occur (or not occur), the spell will grant a second roll. The higher of the two rolls will be the one factored into the event.

'''Activation can vary from system to system, but generally (such as with the standard maneuver roll), bards have a base 50% chance + 1% per 3 spellsongs while non-Bards have a flat 33% chance for a reroll.''' <small>Provided by GM Estild</small>

==Bard Service - Luck Talismans==
Bards may craft a Luck Talisman when they reach level 30 and have learned 30 ranks in the Bard spell circle. When worn, the item will grant a chance to reroll combat rolls for a better result. There are 6 total tiers. The first 5 tiers each grants a 4% chance of a reroll. This reaches a maximum of a 20% chance of a reroll. The 6th tier enables the use of "Fated Fortune".

The % chance to reroll applies to AS/DS, CS/TD, UCS, and SMR rolls when attacking or defending. Each of these attacks will have a (tier * 4%) chance to reroll, and the final result will be the higher of the two rolls. This is especially beneficial for mitigating SMR open rolls.

===Fated Fortune===

Once a Luck Talisman reaches tier 5, it may be further imbued (tier 6, requiring 200,000 luck) with luck to unlock the Fated Fortune ability. When the Luck Talisman saves a character from an open roll (which would only happen when defending against SMR since the other combat systems don’t have open rolls) by a creature that they can learn from (no more than 10 levels below them), it stores that lost luck from the attacker as a charge. The talisman can then be activated (with RUB) to release the captured luck so the character’s next attack (in any combat system) uses an open roll. (i.e. 100 + d100). The talisman can store 5 charges of Fated Fortune.

===Charges===

A new talisman comes with 200 charges - if all charges are drained, it will stop working. This is separate from the charges stored for tier 6 ("L6"). Charges are drained in a somewhat random manner similar to [[Enhancive item]]<nowiki/>s, but only during combat. The rate of charges being used is not affected by how often the talisman provides a benefit nor how often you may attack or be attacked, so those who have more "spammy" hunting styles are not penalized. When a charge is drained, there is an unknown and perhaps random cooldown period where no more charges may be drained.

Upgrading your talisman to the next tier refills the charges to 200. You may also have a bard add charges at a cost of 1000 inspiration per charge.

===Eligible Items===

The target item must be wearable, non-combat, non-container, and non [[Scripted]] to become a Lucky item. The item must not use a RUB activator for anything else (like an imbedded spell). [[Enhancive]] items are eligible. Crumbly items are also eligible but if they crumble, there will be no refunds. There will be a warning when attempting to turn a crumbly item into a Luck Talisman. '''If the target item is [[Non-functional_item|non-functional]], it will become [[Functional_item|functional]] when turned into a Lucky item, and will afterwards count toward relevant functional [[Inventory#Inventory_slots_and_item_limits|inventory slots]]'''.

Your local [[Bard Guild]] may sell items that you may find ideal for this purpose.

===Songstones===

Songstones are required for each service cast. They may be purchased at your local [[Bard Guild]] and cost 50k silvers each. They may be bundled up to 12 charges and become songstone clusters when bundled. Each tier requires (tier * 1) songstone held in your left hand when casting.

===Binding===

Lucky Talismans bind to their user when used in combat and can be reset every 30 days by using the {{boldmono|ANALYZE}} verb beforehand and/or naturally re-binding it during its first active use in combat. The lucky item's analyze keeps track of this countdown.

===Luck Inspiration===

The bard [[Resource]] for this service is called "Luck Inspiration" and can be tracked using the {{boldmono|RESOURCE}} verb. A bard may earn 50k resource per week, with the weekly cap resetting with each new [[Gift of Lumnis]]. A bard may store a maximum of 200,000 Luck Inspiration.

The table below details the bonus and Luck Inspiration required for each Luck tier. [[Suffusion]] may be used if necessary. Fumbles are possible (how unlucky!) even with 100% nominal success chance.

The difficulty is calculated by: 75 + (tier * 75)

===Creating/Improving a Lucky Talisman===

Holding a songstone (with enough charges) in your left hand and the item in your right hand: {{boldmono|PREP 1006 + CAST}} at the item to check the difficulty, then {{boldmono|PREP 1006 + CHANNEL}} at the item twice to perform the service.

===Adding Charges (Refilling)===

{{boldmono|PREP 1006 + EVOKE}} at the item twice. No songstone required. 1000 inspiration per charge cost.

To add charges, you must have enough resources to fully charge the item. You cannot partially charge it. Example: If it is currently at 80/200 charges, you must have a full 120k resources to charge it (200-80=120 charges needed).

Sanctify (330)

2024-11-18T01:32:06Z

GS4-OPTHERIA: Adding 'Profession Services' category.

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



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

''Note: Prior to the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dHwFm8BQidYis6DwsLSR2Ue3CkzXjHOaFh_PObdJQJc/edit# Bless System Proposal v2.0], "sanctified" was used to describe [[Holy armament]] equipment. 330 does not bestow [[Holy armament]] to equipment.''

== Armament Enhancements ==

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

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

'''Weapons'''

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

'''Defensive Gear'''

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

'''Holy Fire Flares'''

* A cleric with at least 100 ranks of [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] can spend 200,000 devotion to attempt to bestow permanent Holy Fire flares to a T5 sanctified armament.
* Holy Fire flares, in addition to a standard heat critical, will deal a random 50 to 100 concussion damage. The concussion damage is capped at {{mono|(30 + (creature level / 5))%}} of the target’s total health.
** example: a level 40 target the concussion damage would be capped at {{mono|(30 + (40 / 5)) = 38%}} of their max health.

'''Cleric-Only Effects'''

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

== Skill Formula ==

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

=== Shrine Bonus ===

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

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

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

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

=== Incomplete List of Omnishrines ===

== Devotion Costs and Gear Difficulty Modifiers ==

=== Devotion Costs ===

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

=== Difficulty Penalty Modifiers ===

* Your current skill will be evaluated against the base difficulty provided by a Bard Loresong '''plus''' the difficulty penalty modifier.
* Every tier of Sanctify S1 to S5 has a difficulty penalty modifier of -20.
* Holy Fire flares has a difficulty penalty modifier of -50.

* (Example: an item that has a difficulty of -500 will actually be -520 when you cast 330 on it because of the difficulty penalty modifier).

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

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

=== Special Properties ===

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

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

== Sanctification Process ==

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

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

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

=== Messaging ===

Sanctification assessment:

<pre{{log2}}>You gesture at some faded leather hiking boots with fur-lined cuffs.
You sense that the leather hiking boots has already been permanently sanctified 2 times and that you can only fail if you are horribly unlucky.</pre>

Successful sanctification:

<pre{{log2}}>You channel at a pair of crimson-stained vultite-edged handwraps.
Reaching within yourself, you summon up your devotion and call upon your connection to Marlu. In response, a diffuse flat black glow wells from your hands, coalescing around the vultite-edged handwraps.

You make a horribly poor attempt!

Success! The manifestation of hallowed energy sinks inward, permeating the leather and sanctifying the handwraps. All that remains of the divine corona is a wavering dark grey afterimage.</pre>

''Note that the color of the glow, the color of the afterimage, and the name of the god will vary based on your chosen deity.''

Failed sanctification:

<pre{{log2}}>Failure! The manifestation of hallowed energy wanes and dissipates, with only a brief silver afterimage left in its wake. You feel some of your devotion slip away in the fruitless attempt.</pre>

{{ServiceMessaging}}

== Suffusion ==

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

== Post Name Titles ==

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

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

Resist Nature (620)

2024-11-18T01:31:36Z

GS4-OPTHERIA: Adding 'Profession Services' category.

{{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.

'''Ensorcell''' allows [[sorcerer]]s to enhance [[weapon]]s, [[Runestaff|runestaves]], [[shield]]s, and [[armor]] by infusing necrotic energy into them. Items may be either temporarily or permanently ensorcelled, with varying benefits depending on the nature of the item and the strength of the ensorcellment. Most weapons, runestaves, shields, and armor are able to accept an ensorcellment (provided they do not resist magic in general), though the difficulty of the skill check increases based on the item's exact properties. One thing of note is that an ensorcelled weapon may also be blessed.

==Temporary Ensorcellment==
*{{boldmono|[[PREP]] 735 {{!}} [[EVOKE]] {item} }}with the item in hand
Temporary ensorcellment allows sorcerers (and sorcerers only) to gain temporary necrotic (life channeling) flares on their weapons and runestaves. There is no skill check or necrotic energy requirement for adding a temporary ensorcellment, though an item's properties may prevent it. The flares from temporary and permanent ensorcelled items are exactly the same (see table below).

According to the official spell description, non-sorcerers may benefit from temporarily ensorcelled gear to perform certain combat and shield maneuvers that require an ensorcelled or anti magic weapon or shield. Temporarily ensorcelling armor has no current benefit to any profession.

Higher level sorcerers can temporarily ensorcell a weapon/runestaff for lower level sorcerers who cannot yet cast the spell.

===Duration===

A temporary ensorcell lasts four real time hours. Should the player log off with an active temporary ensorcell and return more than four hours later, the ensorcell will dispel after the first cast/attack. Temporary ensorcellment can be refreshed without dispelling first.

===Flare Rate===

Magical attack flares from temporary ensorcellment occur randomly and have an average rate of 1 flare per 7 attacks. Physical attack flares from temporary ensorcellment occur randomly and have an average rate of 1 flare per 5 attacks. This is the same rate as an [[Elemental Blade (411)|ebladed weapon]].

==Permanent Ensorcellment==
{{side box|The items that are difficult/impossible are by design. [Ensorcell] will never be offered as a future merchant service. Not all items are intended to be ensorcelled, especially if they already have a number of high end properties. ~GM Estild August 2017}}
*{{boldmono|PREP 735 {{!}} [[CHANNEL]] {item} }} (must be done twice (until 4/1/2021, at which point you only need to channel once))
Permanent ensorcellment can be put on a weapon, armor, shield, or runestaff with the benefits dependent on the type of item ensorcelled, and can be used by members of any profession. Permanently ensorcelling an item requires necrotic energy, which is gained by absorbing experience.

To permanently ensorcell an item, {{boldmono|PREP 735}} and {{boldmono|CAST}} at the item while holding it. This will give a message saying how difficult it will be to place a permanent ensorcellment on the item as well as the current tier of ensorcellment already on that item. Then {{boldmono|CHANNEL}} 735 at the item within 30 seconds to make the Ensorcell attempt. Enhancive and holy items require the use of a special potion prior to the attempt. See below for a more detailed [[#Process|process]].

An item that has been permanently ensorcelled will have a strange necrotic haze radiating from it when {{boldmono|[[LOOK]]}}ed at. The level of ensorcellment can be detected with a cast of [[Elemental Detection (405)]]. Or a bard can determine the sorcerer and ensorcellment by [[Loresinging]] to the item.

===Tiers===

There are 5 permanent ensorcellment tiers with each tier requiring a separate {{boldmono|[[CHANNEL (verb)|CHANNEL]]}} of 735. Both the [[#Necrotic energy|necrotic energy]] cost and ensorcell benefits increase incrementally with each higher tier. Sorcerers (only) wielding permanently ensorcelled weapons or runestaves also receive a phantom 'bonus' tier (for purposes of calculating the flare strength only). For example, a sorcerer with a Tier 5 weapon or runestaff will have an effective tier 6 flare strength (+30 AS/+18 CS).

===Weapons and Runestaves===

Weapons and runestaves that have been permanently ensorcelled gain permanent necrotic (life channeling) flares which can be used by members of any profession (unlike temporary ensorcellment, which can, for the most part, only be used by sorcerers). The strength of these flares is based on the tier of ensorcellment.

There is no increase in flare frequency with higher tiers as had been previously described in the official spell documentation.

Ensorcelled weapons are infused with necrotic energy that will flare and affect the wielder in one of four ways: [[Attack strength|attack]]/[[Casting strength|casting]] strength increase (+5/+3 per tier, respectively - [[acuity]]), [[health]], [[mana]] (runestaves) or [[stamina]] (weapons), or [[spirit]], based mostly on random chance. However, health flares will have a much higher chance of flaring than the others when the wielder is missing health points. If the runestaff would flare for something that the wielder is already full of (health, mana, stamina, spirit), the runestaff flares for AS/CS instead instead; this is the only way to get the acuity-like flare. Runestaves also gain 2 lower CvA per tier of ensorcellment so long as the wielder's left hand is empty; unlike normal Runestaff defense, this CvA adjustment is NOT applied while holding a magical implement (wand, scroll, trinket).

Ensorcelled weapons will trigger flares when the weapon is swung at or used on (IE: a bow) an enemy while ensorcelled [[runestaff|runestaves]] will flare when attack spells are cast (successful hits required).

====Amount Recovered by Tier====

The below information was provided by GM Naijin on Discord:

{| class="wikitable sortable" {{prettytable}}
! Tier||Stamina returned||Average
|-
| T1
| 6 to 12
| 9
|-
| T2
| 7 to 14
| 10.5
|-
| T3
| 8 to 16
| 12
|-
| T4
| 9 to 18
| 13.5
|-
| T5
| 10 to 20
| 15
|}
It is the same amount for mana and health. Sorcerers' phantom bonus applies as well using the same scaling - a sorcerer with a T5 ensorcelled item will recover 11 to 22 health/mana/stamina.

Flares are predominantly health flares - they make up about 77.5% of all flares. Mana/stamina flares come up about 17.5% of the time, and spirit flares trigger about 5% of the time.

===Shields and Armor===

Shields and armor that are permanently ensorcelled provide the bearer with 2 lower [[CvA]] per tier of ensorcellment. This bonus is permanent and no flare is required to activate. Armor accessories can be permanently ensorcelled for no benefit, similar to their capability to receive an enchant.

===Combat and Shield Maneuvers===

[[Shield Use|Shield]] Maneuvers requiring an ensorcelled shield are [[Spell Block]] and [[Shield Mind]].

[[Combat Maneuvers]] requiring an ensorcelled weapon are [[Spell Cleaving]], [[Spell Thieve]], and [[Spell Parry]]. [[Tainted Bond]] does not require one, but users of ensorcelled weapons receive the benefit of one extra attack before expending the periodic attack boost.

====Ensorcell Formula====

Formula based on player research is located [[Research:Ensorcell (735) Formula|here]].

===Paladin bonded weapons===

[[Holy Weapon (1625)]], the spell that bonds a weapon to a [[Paladin]], can make a weapon extremely difficult to ensorcell since the spell adds [[Holy_armament|holy armament]] and maybe [[flare|flaring]] and enhancive properties to weapons. Depending on the properties of the weapon, the spell might take the weapon from possible to ensorcell to beyond the capabilities of even the most experienced sorcerer. Should the weapon become very difficult or impossible to ensorcell, it is recommended that the Paladin remove the bond from the weapon, especially at higher tiers. Bonded weapons always require the use of an [[inky black potion]] before an ensorcell difficulty test or channel attempt.

===Failure===

*A failed attempt costs 5% of the amount of necrotic energy that would have been required for a successful attempt
*There is no chance of losing or damaging an item due to a failed attempt
*A sorcerer may make another attempt immediately after a failed attempt, provided they still have the required amount of necrotic energy

==Necrotic Energy==
*{{boldmono|PREP 735 {{!}} CAST }}or{{boldmono| INCANT 735 }}to check a sorcerer's energy level.
Necrotic energy is the fuel source used to permanently ensorcell an item. All sorcerers with knowledge of Ensorcell (735) and able to cast the spell, will acquire energy by killing like-[[level]] creatures. The amount of energy required to successfully ensorcell an item depends on the [[#Tiers|tier]] being attempted.

''Note: In this context a like-level creature is any creature that, when killed, confers [[experience]] on the sorcerer. There is no energy gain with creatures 10 or more levels below the sorcerer's level.''

===Necrotic Energy Limits===

The limit for how much necrotic energy can be gathered per week is capped at 50,000 units. This is equal to the energy needed for a successful Tier 1 ensorcellment. The energy required for Tiers 2 to 5 increases in increments of 25,000 units. The maximum amount of energy a sorcerer can store at any given time is capped at 200,000 units. After gathering this amount, a sorcerer must attempt an ensorcellment to accumulate energy again.

While there is a cap on both weekly and total necrotic energy gained, a sorcerer will only lose necrotic energy if they attempt to permanently ensorcell an item.

===Gaining Necrotic Energy===

A sorcerer will gain a point of necrotic energy per each point of experience they absorb.

===Checking Stored Energy===
Sorcerers may check their level of necrotic energy stored by self-casting ensorcell or simply using the [[SENSE]] verb or the [[RESOURCE]] verb. When a sorcerer has reached his/her maximum for the week, the following message will appear below the accumulated amount:
<pre{{log2}}>Your rapid build up of necrotic energy has left you feeling overwhelmed and temporarily unable to absorb any new necrotic power.</pre>

The weekly cap resets when the first experience is gained after the [[Gift of Lumnis]] has begun.

When a sorcerer is completely full of energy the energy detection will be as follows:

<pre{{log2}}>You sense the build up of necrotic energy within you has reached its limits. You have enough energy to permanently ensorcell an item for the fifth and final time.</pre>

===Energy Cost per Tier===

The table below details the energy requirement for each ensorcellment tier.

{| {{prettytable}}

|}

To permanently ensorcell an item from Tier 0 to Tier 5 requires 500,000 energy units and takes a minimum of 10 weeks to gain that amount, barring any failed casts.

==Lore Benefits==

Sorcerers training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] receive additional charges of Ensorcell flares:<ref>Baswab, a non-sorcerer, tested 90 ranks of necromancy in Shattered and it did not work to give him multiple strikes.</ref>

Sorcerers will retain attack flare bonuses for one extra attack at 90 ranks or two extra attacks at 180 ranks.

|}

==Process==

The ensorcelling process is very straight forward.

#Gather energy, by gaining experience, until a self-cast of Ensorcell (735) gives you the message that you have '''reached the point necessary to permanently ensorcell an item''' for whichever tier you are casting.
#Do a preliminary 735 channel on the item to check for difficulty. If you (a) get a reading, (b) get the easiest difficulty message of '''you can only fail if you are horribly unlucky''', and (c) are outside of a workshop, skip to the last step.
#If you do not get a reading (the item resists), or if you know the item is enhanced or [[Holy_armament|a holy armament]], you will need to pour an inky black potion on it (not required for difficulty testing). Repeat preliminary channel to get a reading. Potion pours last approximately 30 minutes.
#If the item is at all difficult, wear as many applicable skill and stat [[enhancive]]s that you have available to you.
#Go to a [[magical workshop]] (use the [[sense|SENSE]] verb to check).
#Prep and channel at the item again. You may have to repeat if you did any of steps 3-5 above. (Note: if the item is blessed, then you will receive the message "You sense a strange aura of power from within the <item> that disrupts the power of your spell!" In this case you can cast 119 at the item to remove the bless and try again.)

Sorcerers successfully completing an ensorcell receive [[experience]] and [[fame]].

===Difficulties===

Sorcerers doing an initial channel on an item will get a reading for one of the following levels of difficulty (from easiest to hardest):

==Ensorcell Pricing==

Because of the weekly time increments, many sorcerers price their ensorcell casts by the week, instead of by the tier, not knowing what tier the next customer might need. Below is a table showing the costs for sorcerers charging 1 million, 2 million, 3 million, and 4 million silvers per week:

{| {{prettytable}}
|-

Sorcerers charging around 1 million per week might be just starting out with the spell, working on easier items. Sorcerers charging 2 million per week will be working on mid range items. Sorcerers charging 3 million per week and more might have full enhancive sets and/or use [[Strong Potions of Accelerated Unlearning]] (fixskills), and only work on the most difficult items.

Enchant (925)

:''{{Redirect|Enchant}}''
:''This article is for the new Enchant (925) released during the [[Spring Spectacular]] 2019 updates. For the prior version of the spell, please see [[Enchant Item (925)]].

{{TOC limit|3}}
The '''Enchant''' spell is the final step of Enchanting: the process of magically enhancing a properly prepared weapon, armor, or shield. Each successful [[enchantment]] provides a permanent +1 bonus to the item's [[attack strength]] (AS) or [[defensive strength]] (DS), as applicable.

==Essence==
Enchanting now requires the gathering of essence by a wizard and expending it to increase the enchantment of an item. You can {{boldmono|[[SENSE (verb)|SENSE]]}} how much essence you have accumulated and how strong of an enchantment you can complete.

For every point of experience a wizard earns, they will obtain an equal point of essence. Free to play accounts cannot collect essence.

You can now also see your resources via the {{boldmono|[[RESOURCE (verb)|RESOURCE]]}} verb which shows how much essence you've fully absorbed toward your 50,000 weekly cap and how close you are to the 200,000 maximum cap.

<pre{{log2}}>Health: 100/100 Mana: 200/200 Stamina: 50/50 Spirit: 10/10
Essence: 50,000/50,000 (Weekly) 200,000/200,000 (Total)
</pre>

===Cost to Enchant===
The essence costs for each cast follow a simple pattern. If the current bonus of the item is less than 25, the cost is TRUNC(100 * 3.125) essence per point of bonus. If the current bonus of the item is 25 or higher, the cost is 7500 essence plus 7500 per point above 24. This is the cost to increase the bonus of the item by 1 point. e.g. from +24 to +25 costs 7500 essence; from +49 to +50 costs 195,000 essence; from +0 to +1 costs zero essence.

===Using Essence to Enchant===

'''Once you begin any project with the new style enchanting system, you will NOT be able to use the old style enchant system again!'''

Using the new style enchant system via essence, you will first need to unlock the maximum enchant potential on your item. This is done via the various color ayan'eth potions now available at the various wizard guild shops. The color of each potion corresponds to the ROYGBIV colors associated with the [[AI crystal]], where green equates up to +20 and so on.

Unlock potions must be used in order, starting with green. Green ayan'eth potions come with four pours by default, with each pour unlocking the item potential by +5 until it is unlocked to +20. So, if enchanting a steel weapon, the green ayan'eth potion must be poured on it four times to unlock its maximum enchant first to +5, then +10, +15, and finally +20 on the last pour. After that, a single pour of the blue ayan'eth potion will unlock its maximum enchant further to +25.

The current maximum enchant unlock can be checked by a wizard via 405:

<pre{{Log2|margin-right=35%}}>You focus your energy on the phrases and form of Elemental Detection as glowing orbs of power rise up and swirl about your body...
>
The steel dagger seems to have been prepared for enchanting, and may be enchanted up to a bonus of 20.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.</pre>

A wizard can cast also use 405 to determine the precise current enchant.
{| {{prettytable|font-size:95%;margin-left:2em;}}
|-
!Color intensity
!Enchant value
|-
| faint
| color value -4
|-
| muted
| color value -3
|-
| hazy
| color value -2
|-
| soft
| color value -1
|-
| vibrant
| full color value
|}
Thus, an item that registers as yellow with the AI crystal (+11 to +15) would have a faint yellow aura if +11, a hazy yellow aura if +13, and a vibrant yellow aura if a full +15. Once it reaches +16, the item then has a faint green aura.

There is no tempering time associated with maximum enchant potential unlocks. As soon as the unlock potion has been poured, the item can immediately be enchanted up to that maximum amount, provided the wizard(s) contributing have sufficient essence to enchant it. The maximum unlock is permanent and never fades. The item can be used in combat at any point during new style enchanting process. The item cannot be "locked" as with old style enchants, and it cannot be destroyed in a catastrophic failure. The item is not associated with any individual wizard's project and can be enchanted in whole or in part by any other wizard up to that maximum unlock amount.

Once the item has had its maximum enchant potential unlocked, it can be enchanted simply by preparing 925 and using {{boldmono|[[CHANNEL (verb)|CHANNEL]]}} on the item. Each enchant channel increases the item's enchant by +1. Each channel enchant also reduces the wizard's available essence by that individual step amount, referenced in the above essence charts. If a wizard fails an enchant step, a small amount of essence will be lost, but otherwise nothing adverse happens to the wizard or to the item.

==Difficulty Detection==
A wizard's chance for success in enchanting an item can be determined by{{boldmono| [[CAST]]ing }}Enchant Item at an item. This can be done without first unlocking the item for enchantment.

=== Difficulty Penalty Modifier Formula ===

*Your current skill will be evaluated against the base difficulty provided by a Bard Loresong '''plus''' the difficulty penalty modifier.
*Each +1 of enchant has a difficulty penalty modifier based upon the current enchant and the desired enchant.

*When attempting to increase the enchant of an item from +X to +Y, the +Y number of the item will used to determine the difficulty penalty modifier.<br>
*The formula for the difficulty penalty modifier uses +X to +Y.
*((+Y - 2)^2)/9 (truncate)

*Example:

*Current Enchant: +25
**((25-2)^2)/9 = 58

*Desired Enchant: +26
**((26-2)^2)/9 = 64

*Difference in values = 6
**(6 would be the difficulty penalty modifier added to the base difficulty provided by Bard Loresong.)

The following tables lists all known factors (positive or negative), in no particular order.

===Gear Difficulty Modifiers===
{{Material_Gear_Difficulty_Modifier}}
{{Script_Gear_Difficulty_Modifier}}
{{Other_Gear_Difficulty_Modifier}}

====Weighting/Padding Difficulty====
Difficulty is the square of CER, truncated, i.e. trunc(CER²). Whatever the percent to reach the next CER level is also used. Example, CER plus 10 % chance to get 6 CER would be trunc(5.1²), which is -26 difficulty. Mixed types are the sum of each type's square - i.e. [crit trunc(CER²)] + [dmg trunc(CER²)]

====Permanent Resist Penalty Difficulty====

[Total Resist % / 2]

==Failures==
It is not possible to destroy an item during the enchanting process. Upon a failure to succeed, the wizard will lose 10% of the required essence to complete the +1 bonus cast.

==Pre-enchanting Potions==
Pre-enchanting potions are used by wizards in the enchanting process to unlock the item for enchantment or reduce difficulty. '''Under the updated enchanting system, enchanting projects do not require tempering potions or tempering times.''' The process is as follows:

# A wizard first pours an unlock potion (aya'neth) on the item to unlock it for enchant. Undiluted aya'neth potions unlock a full +5 with one pour. Diluted aya'neth potions only unlock +1 for each pour. See the chart below to see which potion is needed to unlock the item to be enchanted.
# Next, if the project is fusion, holy, or enhancive gear, it will also require a glowing urven'eth potion before a cast can be successful. You'll know urven'eth is required if the item shows a power that must be overcome on the test cast.
# Items with some flares also have '''OPTIONAL''' ilvan'eth flare potions that can reduce the enchant difficulty for the item by 100. '''It is no longer REQUIRED to use pre-enchant potions to enchant flaring items; it's an optional tool to remove 100 difficulty from the item.'''
# All of these potions are poured prior to [[channel]]ing the Enchant spell.

For urven'eth & ilvan'eth Potions, 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.

Other types of flares do not have a corresponding pre-temper potion.

[[Permabless]]ed items can similarly be further enchanted, with a difficulty modifier, through the use of the [[urven'eth potion]].

Special Note: Unlike ayveneh and eoveneh potions, urven'eth potions are not restricted to 35 and lower enchants.

{{#section:Fusion|nopry}}

==Enchant Unlocking==
To actually proceed with enchanting an item, you must first unlock its ability to be enchanted by pouring the appropriate enchant potion on the item. Once done, the item is permanently unlocked to be enchanted up to the bonus given by the potion used and can be verified by casting [[Elemental Detection (405)]] on the item.

==Rewards for Enchanting==
Successful enchantments earn the wizard experience, and while the enchantment process does not directly reward the enchanter 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.

==Negative Bonus Items==
Items with a negative “bonus” (perhaps more accurately a negative modifier, as the negative is no boon!) may be enchanted to a bonus of +1 with no essence. Any restrictions (such as needing pretemper potions) are still in place, however.

For example, most wooden weapons begin with a modifier of -20. A wizard may enchant a wooden weapon (with use of an ayan'eth potion to unlock enchanting) to +1 with no essence. This would take 21 channels of enchant.

Enhancive item

2024-11-13T20:16:45Z

GS4-OPTHERIA: /* Enhancive Limits */ - Removing misplaced/redundant Mana link.

'''Enhancive items''' are items which increase various [[stat]]istics or [[skill]]s of a character when the item is held or worn. Almost all enhancive items have charges and are not indefinite, but can be recharged through the [[Adventurer's Guild]] (in 10 charge increments). Enhancive items can even grant knowledge of a spell, but these are very rare and generally only found in auctions or special raffles. An item can also be made enhancive via the [[Premium point]]s system.

Mana, stamina, and spirit enhancing potions/trinkets, as well as potions/trinkets for boosting some statistics, may be made by pure professions via [[Alchemy]] (see list below).

Enhancive weapons and armor can be [[Enchant (925)|enchanted]] with the use of an ayveneh [[pre-tempering potion]] made by a [[wizard]] skilled in [[Alchemy]]. The type and bonus of the enhancive item will determine the difficulty of the enchant.

The command to [[Enhancive pause|pause]] or turn enhancives on and off is {{boldmono|INVENTORY ENHANCIVE ON/OFF}}.

== Benefits & Levels ==

Enhancive item benefits can be seen through the {{boldmono|[[SKILLS (verb)|SKILLS]]}} or {{boldmono|[[INFO (verb)|INFO]]}} commands. There are 4 levels of enhancive items.
*Level 1 - Gives a statistic bonus or increases max mana, health, or stamina
*Level 2 - Increases a skill's bonus
*Level 3 - Increases stat recovery for [[mana]], [[spirit]], [[stamina]], or [[Hitpoint|health]]
*Level 4 - Increases a character's ranks in a given skill

== Stacking ==

Though there are items that will increase base [[stat]] and [[stat]] bonus, or [[skill]] ranks and [[skill]] bonus, the items will stack and obey the base/bonus [[stat]] and the [[skill]] rank/bonus relationship. That is, if a base [[stat]] increases by +2, the [[stat]] bonus will increase by +1 (whether by [[statistic_growth_rate|stat growth]], enhancive items, or [[combat maneuvers]] such as [[surge of strength]]).

The behavior is identical for [[skill]] ranks and bonus, though the relationship between the two is non-linear. That is, the first 10 ranks of a [[skill]] each provide a [[skill]] bonus of 5, the following 10 provide 4 each, and so on (a character with 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 ranks in a particular [[skill]] will have a [[skill]] bonus of 50, 90, 120, 140, or 150, respectively). All following ranks increase the [[skill]] bonus by 1. Consider the following character examples:
* 0 ranks in [[climbing]]; 2 enhancives: +2 to [[climbing]] ranks, +10 to [[climbing]] bonus - Results in bonus/ranks of 20/4 in [[climbing]]
* 0 ranks in [[swimming]]; 1 enhancive: +4 to [[swimming]] bonus - Results in bonus/ranks of 4/0 in [[swimming]]
* 25 ranks in [[MOC|multi-opponent combat]]; 1 enhancive: +15 to [[MOC|multi-opponent combat]] bonus - Results in bonus/ranks of 120/30 in [[MOC|multi-opponent combat]]
* [[Aura]] base (bonus) of 90 (15); 1 enhancive: +1 to [[aura]] bonus - Results in an [[aura]] base (bonus) of 92 (16)
* [[Strength]] base (bonus) of 100 (10); 2 enhancives; +5 to base [[strength]], +3 to [[strength]] bonus - Results in a [[Strength]] base (bonus) of 111 (15)

This non-linearity of the benefits granted by [[skill]] rank enhancives is the reason that rank enhancives are more expensive to charge, though with sufficiently high training (40 ranks) in a particular skill, the [[skill]] rank and bonus enhancive items provide identical benefits.

== Enhancive Limits ==
Enhancive items can not be used to increase quantities indefinitely, there are hard limits to the bonuses which can be provided by the enhancive system:
*Base [[Stat]]: +40
*[[Stat]] Bonus : +20
*[[Skill]] Rank: +50
*[[Skill]] Bonus: +50
*Max [[Health]]/[[Stamina]]: +300
*Max [[Mana]]: +600
*[[hit_point|Health]]/[[mana_point_regeneration|Mana]]/[[Stamina]] Regen: +50
*Max [[Spirit]]/[[spirit regeneration|Spirit Regen]]: +3

'''Note: These limits do not stack. Meaning you cannot have 40 strength base + 20 strength bonus. the combined cap is 20 Bonus for a stat'''

[[Skill]] bonus and rank items will stack until a combined enhancement of +50 is reached. Similarly, base/bonus [[stat]] enhancers will stack until there is a total of +40 to the base statistic. Items which enhance maximum [[health]], [[stamina]], [[mana]], and [[spirit]] also stack with the relevant [[skills]] and [[stats]] towards their enhanced limit. For example, a character with an enhanced [[constitution]] score will have increased [[stamina]] and [[health]] and this contributes towards their limit of +50 to each. The case is similar for [[harness power]] and [[aura]] for [[mana]] and [[spirit]], respectively (note that a character's [[stats]] at level 0 contribute towards their [[mana]] total rather than their current [[stats]]). This is of special interest to those seeking to enhance their max [[spirit]], as it may affect low-spirit penalty thresholds.

In addition, abilities which show an enhanced [[stat]], such as the [[combat maneuver]] [[surge of strength]] count towards this limit (a character with a base [[strength]] enhanced by +40 will see no benefit when using the [[surge of strength]] combat maneuver).

'''Example:'''
A Dwarf Warrior with 100 strength would have a strength bonus of 25+10 from racial for a total of 35. The dwarf could then add 40 strength from enhancives to have a total of 25+10+20 strength bonus= 55 total bonus. The racial bonus and the bonus from your Normal stat do not count against your enhancive 40str/20str bonus limit. However, if the dwarf warrior activated rank 1 surge of strength for +16 strength, (which counts as enhancive) the enhancive cap would already have been reached with wearable enhancives and would not increase from the bonus of 25normal+10race+20enhancive.

== Charges ==
Charges have a chance to be drained from unpaused enhancive items when worn (jewelry/containers/armor) or wielded (weapons/shields). Items which are 'crumbly' will disintegrate when the last charge is used from the item. Persistent items will simply stop providing the enhancive bonus until recharged.

Enhancive charge drain is based on the outcome of a hidden "degradation roll" that occurs on an unknown frequency. Every active (equipped and unpaused) enhancive item is checked 30-60 times per hour, and a degradation roll is made if enough time has passed since the last degradation roll (effectively a real-time cooldown for the degradation roll). The exact duration of the degradation roll cooldown is not disclosed, but is not longer than 10 minutes. The degradation roll cooldown is tracked per item irrespective of the number of enhancive lines on a single piece of equipment. The act of equipping (or unpausing) an enhancive item does not itself have a chance to immediately drain a charge, but a degradation roll will take place (potentially resulting in a charge drain) if the degradation roll cooldown has expired.

Removing/pausing enhancive items are functionally equivalent.
Wearing/unpausing enhancive items are functionally equivalent.

Bards can determine approximately how many charges are left in a device via [[loresinging]]. Pawnshops now reveal this information when an enhancive item is inspected. There are nine levels that can be detected. The levels, per GM Estild, are:
{| {{prettytable|text-align:left;}}
|-bgcolor="lightblue"
!Description||Charges||Messaging
|-
!one charge
|1
|The <item> looks to have one charges remaining.
|-
!a few charges
|2
|The <item> looks to have a few charges remaining.
|-
!several charges
|3-5
|The <item> looks to have several charges remaining.
|-
!a fair amount of charges
|6-9
|The <item> looks to have a fair amount of charges remaining.
|-
!quite a few charges
|10-14
|The <item> looks to have quite a few charges remaining.
|-
!a lot of charges
|15-24
|The <item> looks to have a lot of charges remaining.
|-
!more than your average dwarf could count charges
|25-39
|The <item> looks to have more than your average dwarf could count charges remaining.
|-
!more than your average giantman could count charges
|25-39
|The <item> looks to have more than your average giantman could count charges remaining.
|-
!a huge number of charges
|40-74
|The <item> looks to have a huge number of charges remaining.
|-
!almost innumerable charges
|75+
|The <item> looks to have almost innumerable charges remaining.
|}
When an enhancive first reaches 1 charge left, you will receive a bolded message. You may also use {{boldmono|[[INVENTORY]] ENHANCIVE}} to list any held or worn enhancives with only 1 charge left. In both cases, if the item is visible, you'll sense the exact description of it. Otherwise, just a message denoting some hidden enhancive has reached that point. The exact messages for the former is listed below:

Visible:
<pre{{log2}}>
Your <adjective noun> faintly pulses with light and you sense its enhancive magic will be depleted soon.
</pre>

Hidden:
<pre{{log2}}>
You sense that the enhancive magic of some unknown hidden item on your person is reaching its end soon.
</pre>

{{boldmono|INVENTORY ENHANCIVE}}:
<pre{{log2}}>
You are currently accepting the benefits of any and all enhancive items in your inventory. Their enhancive charges will degrade normally.

You currently have 4 enhancive pauses available.

You sense the following items' enhancive magic will be depleted soon:
a chipped pestle strung from a leather cord
You also sense that the enhancive magic of some unknown hidden item on your person is reaching its end.
</pre>

== Recharging Enhancive Items ==
Enhancive items can be recharged at the [[Adventurer's Guild]] through the Rewards system. The rules governing the cost of recharging items with various enhancement capabilities are very complex. However, the Treasure Master will provide the cost before recharging any item, and the service must be confirmed before [[bounty point]]s are spent. The Treasure Master will only quote a price for items missing at least one charge, and the quoted price may not recharge an item fully, only refill a set amount of charges.

There is also a tradition to recharge enhancives for silvers at some point around the New Year (could be before or after). As a general rule, the cost of recharging an item in silvers is approximately 17x the cost in bounty points. So an item costing 3,600 bounty points to recharge will cost 60,000 silver to recharge. Notes are accepted by the Treasure Masters.

Enhancives may also be charged with '''Enhancive Potions''' from the [[SimuCoin store]]. There are four types of potions: short-term (30 minutes) and long-term (30 days) versions for both normal enhancives and ones that grant [[spell knowledge item|spell knowledge]]. When a potion is poured on an enhancive item, the item will be powered by the potion for the specified amount of time. This means uncharged items will be reactivated, and charged items will not lose charges, until the potion timer expires. Crumbly enhancives still won't crumble until they lose their last charge, which can only happen after the potion timer expires (due to no charges being lost until then).

Items that have been charged in this manner can be {{boldmono|[[ANALYZE]]d}} to see when they will expire.

==Enhancive Pauses==
Players finding their characters to be using many enhancive items and not wanting to remove/wear them on a regular basis may buy '''enhancive pause passes''' from the [[SimuCoin store]]. Enhancive pauses are accessed through the {{boldmono|[[INVENTORY]] ENHANCIVE}} verb. It comes in a 60-use version and 30-day unlimited use version. Individual uses might also be found in the [[treasure system]] but cannot be transferred between characters. Enhancive pauses are also granted through [[enhancive boost]]s earned via [[Login Rewards]].

'''60-use version
*Comes in the form of a flexing arm token
*Costs 50 SimuCoins
<pre{{log2}}>
>l my tok
This delightfully colorful token is very eye-catching.

[This is an Enhancive Pause Pass. By redeeming this, you will be able to pause the beneficial effects of your enhancive items and prevent charge loss for 60 uses. To redeem this, please enter REDEEM token.]
>redeem tok
[You have activated an Enhancive Pause Pass! You will be able to pause the beneficial effects of your enhancive items and prevent charge loss 60 times.]

>inven enhanc off
You are no longer accepting the benefits of your enhancive inventory items. They will not lose enhancive charges until reactivated via the INVENTORY ENHANCIVE ON command.

You have 59 enhancive pauses remaining.
</pre>
* The command to turn enhancives on and off is {{boldmono|INVENTORY ENHANCIVE ON/OFF}}.

==Spell Rank Boost==

Spell Rank Boosts are considered enhancive items that offer an enhancive of spell ranks for a given spell circle. [[Duskruin]]'s [[High_End_Scrip_Shop|High End Scrip Shop]] offers the ability to add +5 Spell Ranks to the spell circle of your choosing. When creating a new item via this method, it is possible to choose its worn location. It is possible to add +5 Spell Ranks to an existing item, up to a total of +50 Spell Ranks.

A leather spellbook grants the ability to add +5 spell ranks to an existing spell rank enhancive (purchased from a previous run) OR a new item will be created (with 75 charges) for one spell circle of your choice (except Arcane). This cannot be added to existing items that do not already have the spell rank enhancive. This enhancive will only work for characters who have at least 30 spell ranks in the selected circle, and the trinket is restricted to professions that can natively cast from the chosen circle.

==Enhancive Alchemy Recipes==
Each recipe has two or three strengths (minor, lesser, greater). See individual recipe pages for which respective profession(s) can make each recipe and at what rank, as well as level restrictions for using each item.

*[[Constitution crystal]]
*[[Health-well potion]]

[Evermore Hotel, Library]
Towering bookshelves are crammed with grimoires, tomes, and scrolls adorned with mystical symbols shimmering in the dim light of softly glowing orbs. Tables scattered throughout the library are covered with open books, their pages fluttering as if stirred by an unseen breeze laden with the musty scent of aged parchment. An enormous tapestry hangs above a grand stone fireplace carved to resemble the gaping maw of a colossal dragon frozen in a perpetual roar. You also see a rotting zombie puppy with a fleshless skeletal frame, the black Philomina disk, a nut-eyed twisted witchwood mandrake sprouting ruffled ebon taerethils, a bushy-tailed silver flying squirrel, the hammered silver Meliyara disk, a yellow-eyed silvery lor mandrake sprouting black calla lilies, the skull-shaped Irval disk, a black-lacquered witchwood bar framed by mist-enshrouded iron cauldrons with some stuff on it, an overstuffed dark leather couch and a polar bear skin rug.
Also here: Monster Yakushi, Philomina, Manager Blodeuyn, Prentice Mavwyr Phanna, Azaton, Journeywoman Faelynth, Riend, Master Giedrius, Miss Lissaya, Magister Raelee, Faiyth, Alicea, Land Pirate Maylan, Lady Opalina, Elder Seer Rovvigen, High Lady Saleigh, Callayne, Researcher Ermias, High Lord Aetheri (sitting), Nisugi, Brave Soul Alek (sitting), Yipsy, Lady Erienne (sitting), Fleurs (sitting), Lady Meliyara, Missoni, Irval, High Lord Drakanious (prone)

[Evermore Hotel, Garden Patio]
The doors of the hotel open onto a cobblestone patio overlooking a labyrinthine garden maze, its once carefully manicured paths now swallowed by rampant overgrowth. Vines snake up the stone walls, their tendrils reaching out like skeletal fingers, and clusters of thick, dark ivy hang in tangled masses. A pair of stone statues weathered by time and neglect are half-buried in the undergrowth, their features obscured by creeping black moss.

[Evermore Hotel, Black Gate]
The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and something faintly metallic, mingling with the occasional, acrid tang of poisonous blooms. The once-pristine pathways are choked with creeping weeds and thorny underbrush, making every step a cautious endeavor.

[Evermore Hotel, Garden Patio]
The doors of the hotel open onto a cobblestone patio overlooking a labyrinthine garden maze, its once carefully manicured paths now swallowed by rampant overgrowth. Vines snake up the stone walls, their tendrils reaching out like skeletal fingers, and clusters of thick, dark ivy hang in tangled masses. A pair of stone statues weathered by time and neglect are half-buried in the undergrowth, their features obscured by creeping black moss.

[Evermore Hotel, Lounge]
A haze of cigar smoke lingers above tuft-backed leather sofas that invite lounging in front of a stone fireplace with a silver-framed oil painting hanging above its blackened mantel.

[Evermore Hotel, Library]
Towering bookshelves are crammed with grimoires, tomes, and scrolls adorned with mystical symbols shimmering in the dim light of softly glowing orbs. Tables scattered throughout the library are covered with open books, their pages fluttering as if stirred by an unseen breeze laden with the musty scent of aged parchment. An enormous tapestry hangs above a grand stone fireplace carved to resemble the gaping maw of a colossal dragon frozen in a perpetual roar. You also see a black-lacquered witchwood bar framed by mist-enshrouded iron cauldrons with some stuff on it, an overstuffed dark leather couch and a polar bear skin rug.

[Evermore Hotel, Grand Hall]
Highly polished floors reflect tiered chandeliers suspended on lengthy chains overhead, the flickering candles catching specks of gold in the black marble underfoot. On all sides, carpeted staircases climb up and out of sight to the floor above, the walls presenting a gallery of artwork to be discovered on each flight.

[Evermore Hotel, Dining Room]
Heavy velvet drapes obscure foggy arched windows, allowing only a faint ghostly light to filter through. Surrounded by high-backed brocade chairs, the centerpiece of the room is a grand ebony dining table polished to a mirror shine and inlaid with a silvery web pattern, each delicate strand glistening in the wavering light cast by a tiered crystal chandelier. A collection of polished flatware and bone china dishes painted with the hotel crest are laid out on a linen-draped sideboard against the wall. You also see a tall ivory marble urn framed in dark-colored florals, several floating glass trays interspersed by smoke-filled bubbles with some stuff on it, a branch-like ghostwood basket perched on a base of raven-carved marble and a kitchen door.

Saleigh asks, "It is a mask? yes, not a full costume ball?"
Speaking to Ermias, Giedrius asks, "Did you bring proper attire for the ball?"
The dog wanders over to Irval and sniffs at him suspiciously for a moment.
Ermias nods at Giedrius.

Blodeuyn says, "The Grand Masquerade Ball."
Faelynth smiles at Faiyth.
Blodeuyn nods.
Drakanious tries to puff his pipe with little success.
Opalina rubs her patterned white skirt, causing it to release the sweet scent of summer-ripened cherries into the air.
Speaking to Faelynth, Faiyth asks, "You dance?"
Blodeuyn says, "I hope to see you all there."
Manager Blodeuyn just loped out, followed by her group.
[Evermore Hotel, Grand Hall]
Highly polished floors reflect tiered chandeliers suspended on lengthy chains overhead, the flickering candles catching specks of gold in the black marble underfoot. On all sides, carpeted staircases climb up and out of sight to the floor above, the walls presenting a gallery of artwork to be discovered on each flight. Richly appointed settees clustered around evenly spaced columns marching down the center of the hall encourage casual discourse between guests. You also see a hollow-eyed bellhop, a gilded quatrefoil arch and a pair of double ebony doors.

Phanna smiles.
Ermias nods sympathetically at Phanna.
Speaking to Faelynth, Faiyth says, "Never touch the stuff."
Saleigh nods at Rovvigen.
Without expression, a hollow-eyed bellhop quickly circles through the keys on a large ring attached to his belt. He absently polishes an ornate brass skeleton key against the cuff of his bedraggled coat.

Saleigh giggles.
Speaking to Maylan, Meliyara scolds, "Then who will clean when it has ended."

[Evermore Hotel, Ballroom]
Beneath a soaring glass ceiling offering an expansive view of a twilight sky, grand chandeliers dripping with black garnets flicker sporadically, casting erratic shadows that dance across the dark hardwood floor like phantom figures. Ornate mirrors in gilded frames reflect elegantly upholstered furniture around the perimeter, the chairs and settees covered in metallic brocade. Lifelike ice sculptures of dancers twirl amid elaborate arrangements of pastel-petaled oleander atop a long banquet table. You also see a rotting zombie puppy with a fleshless skeletal frame, the black Philomina disk and a violet-eyed white pygmy owl (flying).

[Evermore Hotel, Hallway]
A series of dripping candle-laden chandeliers illuminate a variety of oil paintings lining a long walnut-paneled hallway. Plush carpet runners in wine-dark hues muffle footsteps on the gleaming hardwood floors outside of closed doors, some with notices hanging on the burnished brass handles. A brass trolley cart stacked with luggage waits in an alcove at the end of the hall. You also see a pale-faced coppery barn owl, a gilded scissor gate and a crimson glaes-paneled fel door.

[Evermore Hotel, Platform]
Behind a gilded scissor gate, a platform operator stands at the ready, one hand on a polished brass lever clearly marked with the floors of the hotel. The walls are covered with burnished cherrywood and silvered glass mirrors which reflects a cushioned bench covered in plush crimson velvet at the rear of the clockwork platform. A low thrum emanates from behind the paneling. You also see the platform operator Fenthywick Grimsbane.

Ermias nods at Giedrius.
Maylan walks toward Saleigh.
Fenthywick takes a verdigris copper hotel key from Blodeuyn's hand, his leathery fingers curling around it. With a slow, deliberate motion, he inspects the key under his third eye, which flickers open for a split second. "Ah, room 405, I see. Fine choice, that one." He hands the key back, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
(Maylan Exhales hotly, hawing on Saleigh's skirt.)
The slow, steady rise of the platform offers a brief moment of quiet. Fenthywick rubs the edge of the console, his voice thoughtful. "I must've ferried hundreds of souls in this thing by now. Each one different, but somehow, each one the same in their search for something."
The feisty royal penguin shakes her head.
Saleigh says, "I will need both my gown and a costume steamed, as I am unsure if its a costume ball or just a mask tonight."
Irval removes a gilded silver barrel key from in his black leather rucksack.
Irval's barrel key vanishes into the depths of his leather longcoat.
Speaking wryly to Saleigh, Meliyara notes, "You asked for it."

The brief grinding of old metal can be heard as the platform passes through different levels.

The platform hums beneath your feet, the clockwork gears continuing its steady climb. Fenthywick gazes ahead, a wistful expression crossing his face. "Naidem... it's always been like this. A place for those caught between here and there. Some guests don't even realize they've been here longer than they were meant to be."
Irval stares at the platform operator Fenthywick Grimsbane.
Saleigh asks, "Would you know?"
Blodeuyn says, "It is an extra key, I have them of course."
Ermias takes a drink from his hazelnut coffee.
The platform halts with a soft thud, and Fenthywick's demeanor shifts to one of eager anticipation. "Ah, here we are at the Fourth Floor," he exclaims. With a flourish, he opens the doors, revealing a hallway adorned with ornate paintings and flickering candlelight. "I do hope you find your stay to be as enchanting as the hotel itself. Please remember to step OUT in the next 30 seconds or you'll end up back on the main floor."
As the platform glides upward, a faint creak of metal echoes through the shaft. Fenthywick's voice lowers, his eyes scanning the moving walls. "Strange how the air feels different between the floors, isn't it? Almost as if the walls themselves remember every guest that passes through."
Speaking to Blodeuyn, Irval says, "Don't go spying around my room."
Ermias softly asks, "Fourth floor?"
Saleigh chuckles.
Liras takes a drink from her hazelnut coffee.
The white pygmy owl circles lazily above.
The harlequin macaw parrot crouches forward with his head tipped downwards in a distinctive head-bobbing motion, seeking attention and affection.

Manager Blodeuyn just loped out, followed by her group.
[Evermore Hotel, Lobby]
An amber-hued parquet floor in a tight basketweave pattern is polished to a high shine around an illuminated glaes tile in the center of the lobby. Potted palms flank a gilded scissor gate leading to a clockwork platform, the contraption's exposed system of pulleys, gears, and counterweights moving in a rhythmic dance as the cabin travels between floors. Mismatched brocade wingback chairs sit opposite a pair of paneled sliding doors. You also see a fel-framed sign.

Manager Blodeuyn just loped east, followed by her group.
[Evermore Hotel, Suites Hallway]
Papered in rich burgundy tones and lined with brass-plated doors, a narrow hallway stretches the length of the hotel floor dedicated to private suites.

The harlequin macaw parrot turns his head from one side to the other with an attentive, intelligent gaze before squawking, "Hello," quietly.
Lissaya looks at Faiyth blankly, at a loss to express herself.

Your fingers brush against the spine of an old tome on a fel bookcase. Pressing the hidden button behind it, you hear a soft click. The bookcase swings open silently, revealing a dimly lit staircase leading downward. Without hesitation, you step onto the stairs, the bookcase gliding shut behind you as you descend. Moments later, you find yourself standing behind a painting as you reach the bottom. Carefully, you push the canvas aside and step into the room beyond.
[Evermore Hotel, Sitting Room]
Beneath a pair of heavily gilded chandeliers, two fel-framed divans covered in rich citrine suede face each other across a low table of crimson-stained fel. A thick bearskin rug has been stretched out in front of a tall, black stone fireplace in one corner of the room, a brass-framed oil painting hanging above a crowned hardwood mantle. Panels of crimson velvet have been drawn over an expansive window, a writing desk at its centerpoint. You also see a large vibrant harlequin macaw parrot, the hammered silver Meliyara disk and a door.

[Evermore Hotel, Library]
Towering bookshelves are crammed with grimoires, tomes, and scrolls adorned with mystical symbols shimmering in the dim light of softly glowing orbs. Tables scattered throughout the library are covered with open books, their pages fluttering as if stirred by an unseen breeze laden with the musty scent of aged parchment. An enormous tapestry hangs above a grand stone fireplace carved to resemble the gaping maw of a colossal dragon frozen in a perpetual roar. You also see a sinuous glaes soul golem, a black-lacquered witchwood bar framed by mist-enshrouded iron cauldrons with some stuff on it, an overstuffed dark leather couch and a polar bear skin rug.
