'''Dexterity''' measures a character's hand-eye coordination, balance, and aim. A character's dexterity bonus adds directly to their ranged weapon [[attack strength]], including [[bolt spell]]s, and is a factor in determining [[melee]] [[roundtime]] reduction and [[critical weighting]].

The amount of critical weighting added to melee attacks is:
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=60%}}><b>Weighting: </b>(DEX BONUS + (STR BONUS - (WEAPON SIZE FACTOR))) / 4<br><b>Weapon Size Factor:</b> Summation((Weapon Base Speed + 1) - 3 if open handed) * 2<br></div>
The weapon penalty offset from strength cannot go ABOVE 0<br>Weighting added cannot go BELOW 0<br>the "open hand" from using a two-handed weapon / polearm DOES apply in the above weapon factor formula

1. Example for a halfling with max stats using a spear gripped 2-handed (6 second weapon):
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=60%}}>DEX Bonus: 40<br>STR Bonus: 10<br><b>Weapon Size Factor: </b><br>Summation(6 + (1 - 3)) * 2<br>Summation(4) * 2<br>(4 + 3 + 2 + 1) * 2 = 20<br>
<b>Weighting: </b>(40 + (10 - 20)) / 4<br>(40 + (-10)) / 4 = 30 / 4 = 7 CER</div>

Dexterity is a prime requisite of the [[rogue]] and [[ranger]] [[profession]].

{{Otheruses4|the stalking and hiding system|the [[Rogue Guild]] ability|Rogue Gambits#Stealth{{!}}Rogue Gambits}}
To enter stealth, use the {{boldmono|[[#HIDE (verb)|HIDE]]}} verb. To track a specific target while being hidden, use the {{boldmono|[[STALK]]}} verb. To move to another room while remaining hidden, use the {{boldmono|[[SNEAK]]}} verb. To leave stealth, use the {{boldmono|[[UNHIDE]]}} verb.

To sneak automatically when hidden, {{boldmono|[[Movement|MOVEMENT]] AUTOSNEAK ON|OFF}}.

Hidden characters and creatures are not shown in the room when using {{boldmono|[[LOOK]]}} and cannot be targeted with single-target attacks.

[[Stalking and Hiding]] is the main governing skill for the stealth system.

== HIDE (verb) ==
{{boldmono|HIDE}} will put a [[character]] into stealth status, during which he/she will not be visible in the room when others {{boldmono|[[LOOK]]}}. All characters may hide, but only those skilled in [[Stalking and Hiding]] will be truly effective at it. [[Roundtime]] from hiding can be reduced by training in Stalking and Hiding with one second reductions at 60 and 120 ranks. [[Celerity (506)]] will also help to reduce roundtime.

Once hidden, characters may {{boldmono|[[STALK (verb)|STALK]]}} others and {{boldmono|[[SNEAK (verb)|SNEAK]]}}. To become visible again, one should {{boldmono|[[UNHIDE]]}}. To sneak automatically when hidden, {{boldmono|[[Movement|MOVEMENT]] AUTOSNEAK ON|OFF}}.

'''Unskilled character:
<pre{{log2}}>
>hide
Roundtime: 10 sec.
You see XXXX turn her head in your direction as you hide.
You attempt to blend with the surroundings, but don't feel very confident about your success.
</pre>

:Third person:
<pre{{log2}}>
You notice XXXX slip into a hiding place.
</pre>

== Success Factors ==

Success in hiding and remaining hidden is determined by hidden rolls. Stalking and Hiding [[skill bonus]] adds directly to the roll result. For example, a character with 50 [[rank|skill rank]]s gains a bonus of 150 to each roll.

=== Profession ===

[[Rogue]]s receive a very large bonus to hiding which settles at +level+3 from level 20 onwards, leading to a +103 bonus at level 100.

[[Ranger]]s and [[bard]]s receive +1 bonus per level, capped at +20.

Rogues and rangers are the only professions for whom hiding is typically useful in combat due to the enormous hide bonus and bevy of stealth spells, respectively.

=== Stats ===

Your success during the initial hide attempt is based on your [[Discipline]] bonus and your Racial modifier. Your ability to remain hidden is based on [[Discipline]] bonus and [[Dexterity]] bonus. Racial modifiers do not apply while attempting to remain hidden.

=== Spells ===

The ranger spell [[Camouflage (608)]] always puts the caster into stealth, but remaining hidden relies on skill training.

=== Combat Maneuvers ===

It is normally not possible to enter stealth while in [[roundtime]], but rogues able to [[Vanish]] may do so at a stamina cost.

== Ambush and Sniping ==

[[Melee]] combatants can use the {{boldmono|[[ATTACK]]}}, {{boldmono|[[AMBUSH]]}}, and {{boldmono|[[WAYLAY]]}} commands from stealth. Using {{boldmono|ATTACK}} is the same as {{boldmono|AMBUSH}} in this context. If trained in the [[Ambush]] skill, the defender's [[stance]] will be lowered for the attack and the attacker receives either [[critical weighting]] (for {{boldmono|AMBUSH}}) or [[damage weighting]] (for {{boldmono|WAYLAY}}). Attacking from stealth in this manner adds one second of [[roundtime]] to the attack. For example, a [[short sword]] normally has a 3 second base and minimum roundtimes, so ambushing or waylaying with a short sword has 4 second base and minimum roundtimes. Ambushing reveals the attacker, so to reuse this ability it is necessary to {{boldmono|[[HIDE]]}} again afterwards. The [[Silent Strike]] combat maneuver available to rogues allows them to attack while remaining hidden, and with additional training they may also use the [[Cutthroat]] and [[Subdue]] maneuvers in such a manner.

It is estimated that a fully trained level 100 rogue receives around 50 points of critical weighting when ambushing.

Two-handed [[polearms]] cannot be used to ambush from hiding.

When using [[ranged weapons]], using the {{boldmono|[[FIRE]]}} verb from stealth (also known as ''sniping'') will make an automatic hiding check. If successful, the attacker will stay hidden after the attack. Ranged attacks receive no additional critical weighting.

Using any [[unarmed combat system|unarmed]] attack from hiding gives an Ambush skill based chance to increase the positioning tier immediately to "good" or "excellent".

== Removing Stealth ==

Characters or creatures can attempt to {{boldmono|[[SEARCH]]}} for someone who is hidden. There is a bonus based on the searcher's [[Perception]]. For player characters, searching incurs some minor [[roundtime]] and does not reveal the hider even on a success unless the searcher uses the {{boldmono|[[POINT]]}} verb afterwards; for creatures, a ''successful'' search incurs no roundtime, reveals instantly, and they can attack immediately after revealing a hidden character. Generally, wild animals and the undead have very high perception and are much more difficult to stay hidden from.

The following abilities can remove stealth instantly from anyone in the room:
*[[Sun Burst (609)]]
*[[Searing Light (135)]]

Many area spells such as [[Elemental Wave (410)]] can also reveal hidden characters or creatures.

==Hunting Strategies==
;General Advice
* Disciples have high [[DS]] and [[TD]], but, as primarily magical enemies, they have relatively low [[Standard_maneuver_roll|SMR]] defense for their (high) level. [[Hamstring]], especially with [[Two Weapon Combat]], can open them up. [[Brawling|Unarmed combat]] can (literally) punch through their defenses as well, but might require setup.
* Disciples are fast and are capable of using a single combat round to shake off stun and cast the exceptionally deadly [[Mana Burst (1414)]]. Inflicting [[Staggered]] via options like [[Feint]], [[Sweep]], or [[Twin Hammerfists]] can slow them down.
* [[Immobilized (status)|Immobilizing]] stops disciples outright, but putting that into practice isn't necessarily easy. [[Subdue]] will require further setup since they're too tall while standing. Spells like [[Censure (316)]] or [[Bind (214)]] almost definitely won't have the [[CS]] to hit, barring exceptional gear or enhancives. However, [[Moonbeam (611)]] is a reliable option for immobilizing given enough training in [[Ranger Base]].
* [[Silenced|Silencing]] also stops disciples' most dangerous attacks. However, [[Cutthroat]] and [[Sucker Punch]] need additional setup due to height and [[Silence (210)]] almost definitely won't have the CS to hit. [[Corrupt Essence (703)]], although not using the Silenced mechanic strictly speaking, basically accomplishes the same thing and does work with sufficient CS.
;Bards
* [[Song of Tonis (1035)]] to speed up [[combat maneuvers]] like Feint, Sweep, or Hamstring is a viable option to keep up with and even outpace disciples' speed.
* Be ready to shout [[Troubadour's Rally (1040)]] at a moment's notice in case you come out of a Mana Burst only ''nearly'' dead.
;Clerics
* Disciples are one of the [[Hinterwilds]]' best candidates to burn through empowered charges of [[Condemn (309)]] against (and, conversely, to save empowered charges for). It's more than possible for them to survive two empowered casts back-to-back since the spell only has a single roll to determine its power, so be ready to keep going with a third Condemn or [[Ethereal Censer (320)]] in the mix. [[Quivering sanguine ooze]]s roam the same areas as disciples and can be used to recharge Condemn by starting [[Divine Wrath (335)]], which is likely to make the oozes split several times, then casting Condemn on each oozeling.
;Monks
* Twin Hammerfists into a focused [[mstrike]] can be enough for a swift victory and is more reliable for monks than other brawling professions due to their [[Martial Arts Mastery]], though still not guaranteed. [[Dragonclaw (1209)]] triggering at any point in the mstrike will help. [[Fury]] is an option instead of mstrike, but dividing attacks up over several rounds leaves it more open that a disciple will shake off stun and interrupt the assault in any number of ways before it reaches a hit that could have been fatal, inflicted RT, or inflicted Silenced.
;Paladins
* [[Divine Incarnation (1650)]] Smite backed by high enough [[Spiritual Lore, Religion|Religion]] lore to reliably hit twice frequently takes out disciples.
* Be ready to beseech [[Divine Intervention (1635)]] at a moment's notice in case you come out of a Mana Burst only ''nearly'' dead.
;Rangers
* Given sufficient ranks of Ranger Base, Moonbeam followed by [[Spike Thorn (616)]] usually takes out disciples in one or two casts. Moonbeam is the opener partially because of the sheer power of immobilization as mentioned above, but also because Spike Thorn needs a high endroll to accomplish its objective of killing while Moonbeam only needs a moderate endroll to accomplish its objective of keeping the disciple unable to attack.
;Wizards
* Given sufficient ranks of [[Wizard Base]], [[Earthen Fury (917)]] is reasonably reliable at taking out disciples in one or two casts. (This is accounting for all rounds of damage and factoring in that subsequent rounds while the disciple is stunned will have a huge bonus.) Backing Earthen Fury up with a fully trained Feint (meaning all five ranks and 101 [[Combat Maneuvers]] ranks) can keep them locked down as the damage rounds go off, and that's only more true if Feint is used at 1 second of RT by having [[Celerity (506)]] active with enough [[Elemental Lore, Air|Air]] lore.

==Hunting Strategies==
;General Advice
* Broadly speaking, valravns are a "glass cannon" type of creature. Their "glass" is durable in the sense of high [[DS]] and [[TD]], but when attacks get past those thresholds--or attacks that bypass them, like [[Standard maneuver roll|SMR]]-based attacks or [[Brawling|unarmed combat]]--they're likely to hit these unarmored creatures hard and they have a fairly small amount of health.
* Valravns are primarily magical creatures and are fairly vulnerable to maneuver-based spells and attacks like [[Earthen Fury (917)]], [[Hamstring]], [[Spike Thorn (616)]], [[Twin Hammerfists]], and more. This is offset somewhat by their high level, however.
;Voln
* [[Symbol of Diminishment]] can make valravns far more manageable. However, their high level imposes a penalty against the [[standard success resolution system]] that [[Order of Voln|Voln]] symbols use, so it might take multiple tries. High [[Influence]] can counteract level disadvantage somewhat.
;Clerics
* Valravns have high TD, but [[Prayer of Holding (301)]] only needs a 101 endroll to set up for one or two strong casts of [[Condemn (309)]] afterward.
;Paladins
* High [[Spiritual Lore, Religion|Religion]] lore is doubly helpful against valravns, as [[Zealot (1617)]] can push paladins' [[attack strength|AS]] over the top and [[Divine Incarnation (1650)]] Smite, given enough lore to reliably hit twice, frequently destroys valravns while divine energy lasts.
* Either [[Aura of the Arkati (1614)]] or [[Repentance (1615)]] as the infused spell in a paladin's [[Holy Weapon (1625)|bonded weapon]] works well, since in either case they only need a 101 endroll to accomplish their main goals of, respectively, a debuff or forcing a valravn to kneel.
;Rangers
* [[Moonbeam (611)]] is a near universal solution in the [[Hinterwilds]] and valravns are no exception.

Flare Affinity

2025-04-04T15:58:06Z

GS4XANLIN: per Kaetel via discord 2025-02-19

<table><tr valign="top"><td>
'''Flare Affinity''' is a type of script that also can function as a [[:Category:Combat Flourishes|Combat Flourish]] for weapons and runestaffs. It boosts the effectiveness of weapons with ability slot [[flares]] or [[bane]] flares. Weapons with flare affinity will have their flares fire more often with more potency.
{{TOC limit|2}}
==Analyze==
<pre{{log2}}>
{{addmetext}}
</pre>
==Mechanics==
The increased frequency is the same as Item Superchargers. The flare rate increase of the Flare Affinity Combat Flourish also works in conjunction with the flare rate increase of the [[Supercharger]] items and {{boldmono|[[BOOST|BOOST SUPERCHARGE]]}} login reward.

Flare Affinity increases flare damage by 4 critical ranks. The increased potency causes all the flares to be rank 5-9 (before padding, resistance, randomization, etc).

Flare Affinity will also increase the frequency and potency of a [[bane]] flare. It does not increase script flares. It does not increase material flares. It does not work with paladin bond flares.

<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>Utterly immense, the draugr's humanoid shape is comprised wholly of inky shadows that drip and pool at its intangible feet. Cruel eyes of frigid light glare from a face of sharp lines and malevolent angles. The shade's arms are lightless and devoid of all but the most rudimentary features, but are massively thick and traced with intricate lines of blazing blue radiance.</pre>

A '''shadow-cloaked draugr''' is a type of [[corporeal undead]] creature, approximately level 105-110, found in the Pits of the Dead zone of the [[Hinterwilds]]. They are enormous, powerful creatures typically wielding a two-handed greatsword with tremendous strength, but also capable of various maneuver attacks able to damage and knock players prone. They wear decaying leathers that are equivalent to AsG 7 armor (reinforced leather).

{{TOC limit|3}}

== Hunting Strategies ==

Shadow-cloaked draugrs are able to focused multi-strike players up to five times with either their greatsword or a combination of hands, feet and shoulders. They seem to have limitless stamina and are able to multi-strike at will, preferring this to normal attacks.

Periodically, but almost always on their first attack after spawning, shadow-cloaked draugrs are able to perform an exceptionally powerful attack with their greatsword, raising their AS by approximately 80 for one strike.

They are also capable of an SMR2-based stomp attack with two components: an attempt to crush players with their foot, followed by a quaking effect that may knock players prone and induce roundtime. The quake check will occur regardless of whether the stomp succeeds or fails.

=== Typical Multi-strike Attack ===

The ethereal necrotic film covering a withered shadow-cloaked draugr's black alloy greatsword shrivels away.
</pre>

;General Advice
* Taking out a draugr's greatsword and leaving them swinging a closed fist is as close to taking out the draugr as can be short of actually killing it, so [[Disarm Weapon]], [[Vibration Chant (1002)]], or even [[Limb Disruption (708)]] work great here. DoT spells like [[Condemn (309)]] and [[Earthen Fury (917)]] are liable to also sever an arm by sheer probability given enough rounds of going off.
* In lieu of killing a draugr or getting rid of its weapon, another strong option is taking out its legs or inflicting [[Rooted]] since draugrs rely heavily on high [[attack strength|AS]] or maneuvers to be effective. [[Hamstring]] (despite [[Major Bleed]] not affecting [[undead]]), [[Cripple]], [[Pin Down]], and other options can do the trick.
* In lieu of any of the above, draugrs are also [[square]] enemies in light armor, so low [[TD]] and low [[CvA]] leaves them pretty vulnerable to most [[CS]]-based attacks despite their high level.

<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>
You feel your song resonate around the shadow-cloaked draugr, pulling at the threads of mana within.
You gain 51 mana!
</pre>

==Other Information==

=== Lore ===

Shadow-cloaked draugrs are undead Gigas, the race of giants who live in the Hinterwilds and its villages. The corrupted blood of Zerroth has awakened them from their eternal slumber, and they haunt the Pits of the Dead and the chambers below the Angargreft temple, driven by a mad desire to destroy any intruders who dare trespass in their sacred halls.

=== Non-Gemstone Inspiration ===

In Scandanavian mythology, draugr are undead creatures found in cairns, barrows, or other gravesites. They are animated corpses with physical bodies rather than spiritual forms such as ghosts. In Old Norse, the term 'draugr' can be any ghost or spirit inhabiting a cairn, but is usually a reanimated corpse.

{{Creature end}}<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>Clad in thick, pooling garb that conceals the worst of her tortured form, the mutant was once a being of great stature. Now her body is hunched and bent beneath the weight of her transformation. Her skin sloughs in places, revealing scaling reminiscent of a lizard's, the lamina pale but faintly tinged with cold color. The monstrous alterations to the mutant's form have not spared her features. They are an uneven mass of tumorous growths and molting, squamous skin into which two slit-pupiled eyes of monstrous golden hue are deeply set. Pronounced venom sacs, far from symmetrical, bulge from the sides of the mutant's neck as if to match the uneven distension of her cranium.</pre>
==Hunting Strategies==
;General Advice
* As primarily casting creatures, mutants are fairly vulnerable to [[Standard_maneuver_roll|SMR]]-based spells and attacks like [[Condemn (309)]], [[Earthen Fury (917)]], [[Hamstring]], [[Spike Thorn (616)]], [[Twin Hammerfists]], and so on. This is offset somewhat by their high level, though.
* Mutants have exceptionally high CS--over 520--that leaves their [[Thought Lash (1210)]], [[Bind (214)]], and [[Vertigo (1219)]] spells nearly guaranteed to hit against every profession and leave characters stunned or disabled. Keep them from casting by any means including [[Sweep]], [[Feint]], [[Corrupt Essence (703)]], [[Moonbeam (611)]], Condemn, Earthen Fury, or other options that keep them stalled out, unable to cast, or repeatedly stunned.
* Mutants have [[Brace (1214)]], which can disarm against many forms of physical attacks. However, many combat maneuvers and SMR-based weapon techniques bypass this, as do ranged attacks and [[Brawling|unarmed combat]]. Brace can also be removed via dispelling magic such as [[Spirit Dispel (119)]], [[Spiritual Abolition (230)]], [[Elemental Dispel (417)]], [[Mental Dispel (1218)]], and [[Song of Unravelling (1013)]] or other similar effects like [[Spell Cleave]].
;Voln
* [[Symbol of Transcendence]] can sometimes salvage a bad situation, either preemptively or used with its emergency cooldown. High CS aside, mutants are still mostly casting disablers or attacking with one of the weaker weapon bases, the [[cudgel]], so it's possible to survive even ten rounds of stun with enough luck.
* [[Symbol of Restoration]] can be used while [[Immobilized]] by Bind.

==Hunting Strategies==
;General Advice
* As primarily casting creatures, mutants are fairly vulnerable to [[Standard_maneuver_roll|SMR]]-based spells and attacks like [[Condemn (309)]], [[Earthen Fury (917)]], [[Hamstring]], [[Spike Thorn (616)]], [[Twin Hammerfists]], and so on. This is offset somewhat by their high level, though.
* Mutants have exceptionally high CS--over 520--that leaves their [[Thought Lash (1210)]], [[Bind (214)]], and [[Vertigo (1219)]] spells nearly guaranteed to hit against every profession and leave characters stunned or disabled. Keep them from casting by any means including [[Sweep]], [[Feint]], [[Corrupt Essence (703)]], [[Moonbeam (611)]], Condemn, Earthen Fury, or other options that keep them stalled out, unable to cast, or repeatedly stunned.
* Mutants have [[Brace (1214)]], which can disarm against many forms of physical attacks. However, many combat maneuvers and SMR-based weapon techniques bypass this, as do ranged attacks and [[Brawling|unarmed combat]]. Brace can also be removed via dispelling magic such as [[Spirit Dispel (119)]], [[Spiritual Abolition (230)]], [[Elemental Dispel (417)]], [[Mental Dispel (1218)]], and [[Song of Unravelling (1013)]] or other similar effects like [[Spell Cleave]].
;Voln
* [[Symbol of Transcendence]] can sometimes salvage a bad situation, either preemptively or used with its emergency cooldown. High CS aside, mutants are still mostly casting disablers or attacking with one of the weaker weapon bases, the [[cudgel]], so it's possible to survive even ten rounds of stun with enough luck.
* [[Symbol of Restoration]] can be used while [[Immobilized]] by Bind.
;Bards
* [[Vibration Chant (1002)]] can destroy their weapons and has at least a chance to kill outright.
* Be ready to shout [[Troubadour's Rally (1040)]] at a moment's notice to get away safely after being hit by any of a mutant's dangerous spells.
;Clerics
* The INFUSE SPIRIT option of [[Soul Ward (319)]] can sometimes delay mutants long enough to keep a cleric alive through lengthy stun.
;Empaths
* The REGENERATE option of [[Regeneration (1150)]] can sometimes keep an empath healed and padded to survive lengthy stun a limited number of times per day, depending on [[Mental Lore, Transformation|Transformation]] lore.
;Paladins
* [[Divine Incarnation (1650)]] Smite with enough [[Spiritual Lore, Religion|Religion]] lore to reliably hit twice will usually do substantial damage to mutants, if not outright kill them, while divine energy lasts.

On her head, nestled atop curls of shimmering hair, is a winged helm whose visor dips low over her face, lending a grim cast to her features. The disir's skin is faintly luminous, with hints of rainbowed color pulsing beneath it. </pre>

==Hunting Strategies==
;Bards
* [[Vibration Chant (1002)]] can eliminate their "[[spear]]s" (which hit like [[lance]]s). Disirs then switch to a magical, non-physical shield which can't be blown up, but many will find that preferable to letting them swing lances with 650 AS.
;Clerics
* Disirs behave somewhat unpredictably under the effects of [[Prayer of Holding (301)]], as sometimes it'll keep them bound while other times they'll shake it off immediately and counterattack in a single combat round. The fact that it even sometimes holds them makes it viable as a setup leading into [[Condemn (309)]], though, as it just means binding them repeatedly until it sticks.
;Paladins
* Disirs move fairly quickly in combat, so, in this case, casting [[Aura of the Arkati (1614)]] the hard way and then attacking with a beseeched [[Repentance (1615)]] is far more reliable than the other way around. Opening with Repentance might allow the disir to get up by the time the paladin's out of cast RT and on to her physical attack, but opening with the Aura of the Arkati debuff will leave that lasting long enough to carry through to the followup.
;Rangers
* [[Moonbeam (611)]] is a near universal solution in the [[Hinterwilds]] and disirs are no exception. However, they can occasionally get out of even that, so tread carefully. A followup [[Spike Thorn (616)]] against a bound disir will often miss the kill even with heavy training in [[Ranger Base]] and [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning|Summoning lore]], which is more than most Hinterwilds creatures can say, but repeated casts will still win the day.

==Hunting Strategies==
;General Advice
* Disciples have high [[DS]] and [[TD]], but, as primarily magical enemies, they have relatively low [[Standard_maneuver_roll|SMR]] defense for their (high) level. [[Hamstring]], especially with [[Two Weapon Combat]], can open them up. [[Brawling|Unarmed combat]] can (literally) punch through their defenses as well, but might require setup.
* Disciples are fast and are capable of using a single combat round to shake off stun and cast the exceptionally deadly [[Mana Burst (1414)]]. Inflicting [[Staggered]] via options like [[Feint]], [[Sweep]], or [[Twin Hammerfists]] can slow them down.
* [[Immobilized (status)|Immobilizing]] stops disciples outright, but putting that into practice isn't necessarily easy. [[Subdue]] will require further setup since they're too tall while standing. Spells like [[Censure (316)]] or [[Bind (214)]] almost definitely won't have the [[CS]] to hit, barring exceptional gear or enhancives. However, [[Moonbeam (611)]] is a reliable option for immobilizing given enough training in [[Ranger Base]].
* [[Silenced|Silencing]] also stops disciples' most dangerous attacks. However, [[Cutthroat]] and [[Sucker Punch]] need additional setup due to height and [[Silence (210)]] almost definitely won't have the CS to hit. [[Corrupt Essence (703)]], although not using the Silenced mechanic strictly speaking, basically accomplishes the same thing and does work with sufficient CS.
;Bards
* [[Song of Tonis (1035)]] to speed up [[combat maneuvers]] like Feint, Sweep, or Hamstring is a viable option to keep up with and even outpace disciples' speed.
* Be ready to shout [[Troubadour's Rally (1040)]] at a moment's notice in case you come out of a Mana Burst only ''nearly'' dead.
;Clerics
* Disciples are one of the [[Hinterwilds]]' best candidates to burn through empowered charges of [[Condemn (309)]] against (and, conversely, to save empowered charges for). It's more than possible for them to survive two empowered casts back-to-back since the spell only has a single roll to determine its power, so be ready to keep going with a third Condemn or [[Ethereal Censer (320)]] in the mix. [[Quivering sanguine ooze]]s roam the same areas as disciples and can be used to recharge Condemn by starting [[Divine Wrath (335)]], which is likely to make the oozes split several times, then casting Condemn on each oozeling.
;Monks
* Twin Hammerfists into a focused [[mstrike]] can be enough for a swift victory and is more reliable for monks than other brawling professions due to their [[Martial Arts Mastery]], though still not guaranteed. [[Dragonclaw (1209)]] triggering at any point in the mstrike will help. [[Fury]] is an option instead of mstrike, but dividing attacks up over several rounds leaves it more open that a disciple will shake off stun and interrupt the assault in any number of ways before it reaches a hit that could have been fatal, inflicted RT, or inflicted Silenced.
;Paladins
* [[Divine Incarnation (1650)]] Smite backed by high enough [[Spiritual Lore, Religion|Religion]] lore to reliably hit twice frequently takes out disciples.
* Be ready to beseech [[Divine Intervention (1635)]] at a moment's notice in case you come out of a Mana Burst only ''nearly'' dead.
;Rangers
* Given sufficient ranks of Ranger Base, Moonbeam followed by [[Spike Thorn (616)]] usually takes out disciples in one or two casts. Moonbeam is the opener partially because of the sheer power of immobilization as mentioned above, but also because Spike Thorn needs a high endroll to accomplish its objective of killing while Moonbeam only needs a moderate endroll to accomplish its objective of keeping the disciple unable to attack.
;Wizards
* Given sufficient ranks of [[Wizard Base]], [[Earthen Fury (917)]] is reasonably reliable at taking out disciples in one or two casts. (This is accounting for all rounds of damage and factoring in that subsequent rounds while the disciple is stunned will have a huge bonus.) Backing Earthen Fury up with a fully trained Feint (meaning all five ranks and 101 [[Combat Maneuvers]] ranks) can keep them locked down as the damage rounds go off, and that's only more true if Feint is used at 1 second of RT by having [[Celerity (506)]] active with enough [[Elemental Lore, Air|Air]] lore.

* Disciples are fast and are capable of using a single combat round to shake off stun and cast the exceptionally deadly [[Mana Burst (1414)]]. Inflicting [[Staggered]] via options like [[Feint]], [[Sweep]], or [[Twin Hammerfists]] can slow them down.
* [[Immobilized (status)|Immobilizing]] stops disciples outright, but putting that into practice isn't necessarily easy. [[Subdue]] will require further setup since they're too tall while standing. Spells like [[Censure (316)]] or [[Bind (214)]] almost definitely won't have the [[CS]] to hit, barring exceptional gear or enhancives. However, [[Moonbeam (611)]] is a reliable option for immobilizing given enough training in [[Ranger Base]].
* [[Silenced|Silencing]] also stops disciples' most dangerous attacks. However, [[Cutthroat]] and [[Sucker Punch]] need additional setup due to height and [[Silence (210)]] almost definitely won't have the CS to hit. [[Corrupt Essence (703)]], although not using the Silenced mechanic strictly speaking, basically accomplishes the same thing and does work with sufficient CS.
;Bards
* [[Song of Tonis (1035)]] to speed up [[combat maneuvers]] like Feint, Sweep, or Hamstring is a viable option to keep up with and even outpace disciples' speed.
* Be ready to shout [[Troubadour's Rally (1040)]] at a moment's notice in case you come out of a Mana Burst only ''nearly'' dead.
;Clerics
* Disciples are one of the [[Hinterwilds]]' best candidates to burn through empowered charges of [[Condemn (309)]] against (and, conversely, to save empowered charges for). It's more than possible for them to survive two empowered casts back-to-back since the spell only has a single roll to determine its power, so be ready to keep going with a third Condemn or [[Ethereal Censer (320)]] in the mix. [[Quivering sanguine ooze]]s roam the same areas as disciples and can be used to recharge Condemn by starting [[Divine Wrath (335)]], which is likely to make the oozes split several times, then casting Condemn on each oozeling.
;Monks
* Twin Hammerfists into a focused [[mstrike]] can be enough for a swift victory and is more reliable for monks than other brawling professions due to their [[Martial Arts Mastery]], though still not guaranteed. [[Dragonclaw (1209)]] triggering at any point in the mstrike will help. [[Fury]] is an option instead of mstrike, but dividing attacks up over several rounds leaves it more open that a disciple will shake off stun and interrupt the assault in any number of ways before it reaches a hit that could have been fatal, inflicted RT, or inflicted Silenced.
;Paladins
* [[Divine Incarnation (1650)]] Smite backed by high enough [[Spiritual Lore, Religion|Religion]] lore to reliably hit twice frequently takes out disciples.
* Be ready to beseech [[Divine Intervention (1635)]] at a moment's notice in case you come out of a Mana Burst only ''nearly'' dead.
;Rangers
* Given sufficient ranks of Ranger Base, Moonbeam followed by [[Spike Thorn (616)]] usually takes out disciples in one or two casts. Moonbeam is the opener partially because of the sheer power of immobilization as mentioned above, but also because Spike Thorn needs a high endroll to accomplish its objective of killing while Moonbeam only needs a moderate endroll to accomplish its objective of keeping the disciple unable to attack.
;Wizards
* Given sufficient ranks of [[Wizard Base]], [[Earthen Fury (917)]] is reasonably reliable at taking out disciples in one or two casts. (This is accounting for all rounds of damage and factoring in that subsequent rounds while the disciple is stunned will have a huge bonus.) Backing Earthen Fury up with a fully trained Feint (meaning all five ranks and 101 [[Combat Maneuvers]] ranks) can keep them locked down as the damage rounds go off, and that's only more true if Feint is used at 1 second of RT by having [[Celerity (506)]] active with enough [[Elemental Lore, Air|Air]] lore.

Stamina

2025-02-19T20:55:01Z

GS4XANLIN: /* Maximum Stamina */ formula adjustment

'''Stamina''' is used whenever most [[Combat Maneuvers|combat maneuvers]] are activated. The maximum stamina a character has determines how often that character can use maneuvers, and if a character [[Overexerted|overexerts]] themselves, they can no longer use any maneuvers for a period of ten minutes and suffer a -10 penalty to their [[attack strength]], unless they have the overexertion taken away by the spell [[Adrenal_Surge_(1107)|Adrenal Surge (1107)]] or directly by an empath.

== Maximum Stamina ==
Maximum stamina is determined as follows:
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=35%}}><center><tt>'''Maximum Stamina = [[CON]] bonus + (([[STR]] bonus + [[AGI]] bonus + [[DIS]] bonus)/3) + ([[Physical Fitness]] skill bonus / 3)'''</tt></center></div>

*All fractions from the above formula are dropped.

== Stamina Recovery ==
Stamina recovery is determined primarily by the character's [[Constitution]], with the rate ranging from 20% to 30% of the character's maximum stamina per minute. Thus, Strength, Agility, Discipline, and Physical Fitness training also have a minor effect on stamina recovery due to their influence on a character's maximum stamina. A character's stamina recovery is calculated as follows:

STEP 1: Find the percentage of maximum stamina that will be regained:
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=35%}}><center><tt>
'''Stamina Recovery (SR) = 20 + trunc([[CON]] bonus / 4.5) + Bonus'''
</tt></center></div>
*'''Bonus''' is the sum of all the following:
**A character that is sitting, kneeling, or prone without a weapon in his or her right hand receives a +5% (or +5) bonus to Stamina Recovery. This is NOT an enhancive bonus.

*Nodes have no effect on the stamina recovery rate.

STEP 2: Calculate how much stamina is gained each pulse:
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=35%}}><center><tt>
'''Stamina gained per pulse = round(Maximum Stamina * (SR / 100)) + Stamina Recovery Enhancive Bonus'''
</tt></center></div>
* The '''Stamina Recovery Enhancive Bonus''' includes all enhancive items, as well as the +15 bonus from using Stamina Burst (and the -15 penalty for the following three pulses).

For example, a character that has 158 maximum stamina and +32 Consitution bonus gains 43 stamina per pulse:
*Stamina recovery: 20% + trunc(32 / 4.5) + 0
*Stamina recovery: 20% + trunc(7.1111)
*Stamina recovery: 27%
*Stamina gained: round(158 * (27 / 100))
*Stamina gained: round(158 * .27)
*Stamina gained: round(42.66)
*Stamina gained: 43

== Maximum Stamina From Stats ==

This is a race comparison of the stamina bonus with 100 in each of the relevant stats (CON, STR, AGI, DIS). Dwarves have the highest (70) potential bonus with dark elves (43) the lowest. When physical fitness training is included, dwarf warriors and empaths (3x PF training) can achieve the highest non-enhanced stamina of 204, or 203 if it is capped at level (70 stat bonus + 403 skill/3).

Knockout flare

2025-02-12T19:13:38Z

GS4XANLIN:

<table><tr valign="top"><td>
'''Knockout flares''' are a rare specialty <noinclude>[[</noinclude>flare<noinclude>]]</noinclude> which can be placed on weapons that primarily do [[crush critical table|crushing damage]], such as [[mace]]s, [[handaxe]]s, and [[maul]]s, as well as [[UCS]] gloves and boots. The flares always targets the victim's head. If the head is sufficiently wounded the crush damage from the flare may be applied to the chest. Any part of the body may be hit for the flares to activate. Besides the crush damage applied to the targets head, the flare can also impart a status effect on the target, such as the rooted condition or the prone condition. '''Knockout flares will not function against creatures greater than 15 levels above the user'''.

Knockout flares take up the script slot on a weapon, meaning an already flaring weapon can have knockout flares added.

While knockout flares can also be added to [[runestaff|runestaves]], this is not advisable as the flare will only activate on a melee hit, e.g. when the runestaff is swung.

== Analyze ==

<pre{{log2}}>
You analyze the uhl-claw brooch and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

A knotwork uhl-claw brooch of tarnished silver is an Uhl-Claw device designed by the kindred of the T'Kirem Bear Clan. Its primary purpose is to discourage unwanted attention from those who may have taken a fancy to the wearer. It is meant to be a subtle device. To read more about the lore, visit: https://gswiki.play.net/Uhl-claw.

To use the brooch, you must WEAR it and POINT it at the person you do not wish to make advances on you. Do not worry, this gesture is so subtle that they don't see it has been done until they look upon you. Once they do look at you they will see the Bear's Warning: Five slashes, ending in crimson droplets, mar (fancier's) features from (his/her) right temple to (his/her) left cheekbone.

Your uhl-claw brooch can store up to 50 unwanted suitors in it. To change them, GAZE at the brooch to get the list and then WHISPER brooch REMOVE # to remove the person.

Alterations: An Uhl-Claw must always be made of silver and have a reflective surface for the magic of the item to work. There should be some representation of the five claws of Uhlgeer, the she-bear, and corresponding crimson drops that represent the blood her claws can bring to the surface. Droplets can be made of paint, enamel, lacquer, jewels, etc. Above all, it must have a reflective surface of some kind. If creating a ring, you may use uhl-ring. All other jewelry should have an adjective of "uhl-claw," and this item should never be turned into a solitude ring.

The following message is displayed in monsterbold when a player looks at someone wearing an Uhl-Claw that names them. Normal messaging for look follows the bold messaging.

==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.

===Process===
{{ServiceCost
|rank1 = 50k Guile
|rank2 = 75k Guile
|rank3 = 100k Guile
|rank4 = 125k Guile
|rank5 = 150k Guile
}}
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.

===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.

===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.

*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.

===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.

===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.

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.

**Usage: FEAT THROWPOISON

===Armament Breakdown===
*'''Armor and Accessories'''
**Disabling poisons only
**Chance to be applied reactively or contact from Maneuvers, or spikes.

**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.

Enhancive item

2024-05-25T15:51:31Z

GS4XANLIN: updated degradation cooldown roll duration

'''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]]/[[Mana]]/[[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.

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

{{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.

== 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.

* 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.

Animalistic Spirit Armor

2024-03-02T14:29:02Z

GS4XANLIN:

<table><tr valign="top"><td>
'''Animalistic Spirit Armor''' was released at [[Duskruin Arena]] in February 2021 at the [[BVShop:Wild Instinct|Wild Instinct shop]] by [[User:GS4-AVALUKA|GameMaster Avaluka]]. This armor is sold in every armor group OTS at +20 [[enchant]]s and contains [[Item_properties|Category D]] script flares called Animalistic Instinct which are sonic by default. See more information about options for spirit types and allowed nouns at [[Animalistic Spirit]].
{{TOC limit|2}}
==Analyze==
<pre{{log2}}>You analyze your dark chain jazerant and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
---- Animalistic Spirit Armor ----
<nowiki>=</nowiki>General Script Information=
This is armor with the spirit of an animal trapped within it.
The spirit is wild and must be tamed by unleashing attacks against like-level foes, or successfully evading them during combat.
If not fully tame, the spirit within can backlash upon the owner.
Allegiance can be changed, but the new owner must work off the trust gained by the previous owner.
When the wearer is hit, the armor has a chance to unleash Animalistic Instinct, which can knockdown the attacker and disorient them momentarily.
If used with an Animalistic Spirit weapon or shield, there is a chance the armor will call for aid and also add the weapon/shield's Animalistic Fury flares to the response.
<nowiki>=</nowiki>Alteration Guidelines=
* Alterations to the 15/15/15, long and show of this armor are fine.
* Any merchant can change the associated Armor Accents to match the alteration.
* Some merchants can change the spirit color, spirit call, spirit group, or how the spirit looks.
NOTE: You cannot change the general type of animal, such as changing a large feline to be a canine, except using certificates.
As well, each spirit type only has certain pre-approved nouns allowed.
<nowiki>=</nowiki>Features=
* '''Animalistic Instinct Flares''' (Tier 4 of 4)
The spirit within lashes out defensively with a maneuver-based sonic attack, causing knockdown and roundtime.
If you wield an Animalistic Spirit weapon or shield, there is a chance the armor will call for aid and will add Animalistic Fury flares.
Flares are currently: ON [RUB to toggle]
* '''Revenge Flares''' = Unlocked
On a successful evade, there is a chance to unleash Animalistic Instinct flares. You must be in a forward or greater stance and be an active combatant in combat for the spirit to react.
NOTE: Power of this ability is tied to the Flare tier.
If you wield an Animalistic Spirit weapon or shield with Revenge unlocked, there is a chance the armor will call for aid to add Animalistic Fury flares.
* '''Bestial Barrier''' = Unlocked
When Animalistic Instinct flares hit, the spirit within shares some of its strength to defend you, causing an increase to your DS for 30 seconds or until the next attack.

Hi, I got your message about the copywrite problems with my image. I created the image myself using Artflow.ai but I have literally no idea how to comply with your request and I can barely even understand it. I cant find the Discord page you linked to either. Could you please walk me through this step by step? I have almost no skill at coding or using the wiki...I created my page by simple cut and paste and rewriting.

Thank you,
Toxyrox

PS if it would be easier on Discord, my username there is Avondell.

=== Animalistic Spirit Shield iteminfo ===

[[User_talk:GS4ALASTIR]]: Hi, Alastir. Thank you very much for contributing so many different things to the various item script pages! Just as a head's up, I rolled back one of your changes made a while ago to the [[Animalistic_Spirit_Shield|Animalistic Spirit Shield]] page, where you had accidentally removed the iteminfo section. I have added back in the iteminfo section so that it properly displays; it's actually an important template to keep in place for scripted items as it helps populate other categories on the wiki, making it easier to cross-reference related things. Thanks for understanding! [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 09:55, 21 June 2022 (CDT)

[[User talk:WINTERDAWN]]: Thank you for all of the contributions you've made toward archiving all of the Elanthian Journals! Just as a reminder, please use <nowiki>[[Category:Marked for Deletion]]</nowiki> on a page when you would like it deleted. I went ahead and deleted the Journal pages you had cleared and replaced with the text, "Things to be deleted by Simu Admin." because your intent appeared to be very clear, however using the Category instead would make it easier for any mods to see those pages as part of weekly patrols for page deletion requests.

Do you have the original author's permission to upload "Part 5" to the essay? I did not see you noting that anywhere on the essay's talk page ([[Talk:Ithzir_language_(essay)]]). When uploading someone else's work to the wiki on their behalf, it is important to note that on an individual creative work's talk page so that we have a clear understanding that permission was given by them. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 10:34, 14 July 2022 (CDT)

:I can confirm with Dergoaten shortly since he's an active player, unsure how to post approval, but it's been confirmed and directed towards https://gswiki.play.net/Ithzir_Genesis for the most current details [[User:FIREPHOENIX|FIREPHOENIX]] ([[User talk:FIREPHOENIX|talk]]) 23:26, 15 July 2022 (CDT)

:Dergoatean — Today at 11:16 PM
:Hi, you absolutely have my permission

=== Moving Saved Posts ===

[[User_talk:FIREPHOENIX]]: I just wanted to give you a head's up that I am moving and consolidating some saved posts on the wiki that don't meet the current [[Help:Style/Formatting_special_articles#Saved_posts|Style Guide standards]] for saved posts. Most of them are being moved to the "/saved posts" subpage of relevant questlines, and I am updating any broken links made as a result of these moves. I didn't want to worry you with the sudden rearranging of data and related page deletion since they include a few of the saved posts that you have archived with your ongoing efforts to preserve game history.

=== Wood Rarity Template Links ===

[[User talk:WINTERDAWN]]: Hi, WINTERDAWN. I just wanted to give you a head's up on why I reverted your changes to [[Template:Wood_Rarity_and_Use]] to remove the redlined links added. The additional links were all to existing real world trees that are not unique to Elanthia. While it is certainly fine for someone to eventually make pages for individual trees and add those links back in to the template, none of the trees with redlined links had anything unique to them in an Elanthian setting apart from their real world equivalents. Hopefully that helps clarify! [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 10:43, 26 July 2022 (CDT)

=== Merchant NPC Pages ===

[[User_talk:ECHEAUX]]: Hi, ECHEAUX. Thank you for your many contributions to the wiki! Getting a lot of the information related to the ongoing Ebon Gate festival out there while it is still running is a big help to other players. Just as a head's up, I have reverted some of the updates you made to various merchant NPC pages. These are largely restricted to where historical information was removed, such as festival venues or various towns where the merchants have worked. I wanted to drop you a note to explain why those changes were reverted so that you weren't surprised by them.

I also have a question regarding the recent updates that you made to [[Template:Merchants]] and related updates to various merchant NPC pages. Looking at the template, it seems like the "venue" section is now much more restricted than before, limited to only a very small list of festivals instead of being more free form as it was in the past. Is that intended or just an oversight? We have so many different festival venues that limiting which ones the template could be used for seems counterproductive, especially if it means that historical information is not preserved. It also looks like you have added a "town" as a new section, which can only have one entry. Is "town" intended to be the merchant's home town? Or is it intended to be the town they most often work in among the various towns they frequent? Thank you for any insight you can offer.

=== Works in Progress ===
[[User_talk:ECHEAUX]]: Hi there, ECHEAUX. I am slowly working through patrols of item script page updates, which I know you focused heavily on late last year. It looks like on several of them, mostly ones from October and November, you included the work-in-progress template to indicate you are still working on the pages, however many of them do not appear to have any recent updates in the past month+. While I don't believe these are all of them, they include [[AYRWT?]], [[Flask belt]], [[Ritualistic tool]], and a few others that look like they were from last year's Ebon Gate festival. Are you still actively working on some of these pages? If not, I'll remove the WIP template as I do the patrols to let other users know they are open for editing again. Thanks again for everything you do to help add to the wiki! [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 08:29, 10 January 2023 (CST)

=== Page Moves ===
[[User talk:ECHEAUX]]: Hi, ECHEAUX. I noticed that when you set up the item script page for the [[Grooming locket]], you did so by moving one of your test/sandbox pages with a substantial edit history to the current page. In doing so, that also had the the effect of moving the entire page history for your test page, which included a large number of edits stemming from when you were testing out formatting for other item scripts unrelated to the Grooming locket. While the wiki team is very glad that you're using your test/sandbox pages to try out new things, the best practice in this instance would be to just cut and paste the source code from your test page into a newly created item page instead of moving it from your sandbox if there are unrelated edits in the test page's history. I know that you're very well versed in wiki use at this point, but if you'd like, I can help with that process for the Grooming locket page.

===Talk Pages vs Articles===

[[User talk:WINTERDAWN]]: Hi, WINTERDAWN. I am reaching out to you because I am reverting back the edits on [[Northern Sentinel's Decree on the Imperial Protection of Wehnimer's Landing]] to include the full text of the letter instead of omitting portions of it. Could you help me understand why you removed portions of the letter? I understand that you also put the log of the letter being read aloud in game on the page's Talk page. However, the purpose of a Talk page is to provide notes about the main article, such as indicating permission to share something on behalf of another person, sharing incomplete research information, or asking a question/seeking clarification about the text of an article. Talk pages are not intended to be used as supplementary articles, nor should articles omit relevant information for the sake of sharing it on a Talk page. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 09:42, 8 February 2023 (CST)

:So there are two separate authors here: myself and WBURKE.

:When I first came across the letter as relayed by Cordarius, in user LEAFIARA's log, I thought, "this is very useful information that should probably be more accessible than in the middle of a log." However, it was late, and I was not necessarily wanting to embark on a lengthy project at the time, and so I literally just copy/pasted it into a separate wiki page (the awkwardly named one I marked for deletion).

:Soon after this, user WBURKE created a page to document the information relayed by that letter. The desire of my page was "here's the log so it's easier to find, maybe it'll be made nicer one day." The desire of their page was to focus on the specific points of interest in that letter. My focus was "here's the letter in full" while their focus was "here's the bullet points with regards to the Empire and Wehnimer's Landing." What they created is what I wanted the log to eventually turn into.

:I still felt it useful to have the log around, though, and so dumped it on the discussion page as I don't know where else to put it.

:As an aside, based on how this wiki is used, both in the past and currently, I feel that the discussion page is a fine spot for these types of things. On other wikis yes, you can have very lengthy conversations about the topics you listed, but that just doesn't really happen here on this one.

:Based on those guidelines we would need to move this content: [[Talk:Sanctify (330)]] and [[Talk:Introduction to the Confluence#The Mentor Event Itself]]. I feel that these bits, that are relevant to their pages, would detract from the pages themselves if added. The Sanctify content would just muddy the page and the Confluence content has no relevance on the guide itself. The Sanctify content would be easy enough to break out into it's own guide I guess, and I guess the Confluence content could just be added to my user page or something. /shrug

:Anyways, just my thoughts. At the end of the day you're the boss on this stuff so I acquiesce to what you feel is best :)

::Hi, WINTERDAWN. I am not ignoring your query; I am waiting on a response from the larger wiki team about how to approach this specific scenario. Generally speaking, any article's Talk page is not an appropriate venue for archiving important information. If the information is completed research, elaboration on topics contained within an article, or relevant log excerpts, that information should be on a main wiki article, not on a Talk page. Depending on what that information consists of, it could either be on the primary article itself or on a different article that is explicitly created to delve into a more complex concept.
::In the case of [[Talk:Sanctify (330)]], the information presented on it would be best in a main article and not on a Talk page; looking at the content, it does seem appropriate for a 330 guide article, as you pointed out (see [[Help:Style#User pages]]). In the case of [[Talk:Introduction to the Confluence]], this appears to be a log excerpt and would be appropriate for a page that is set up as an event log - in the format of "YYYY-MM-DD - Log Title (log)" (as per [[Help:Style/Formatting special articles#Logs]]). However, as the main page itself appears to be set up as a guide, which appears to be drawn from the log itself (or vice versa), it should adhere to the standards of creating a guide. My general recommendation would be to preserve an entire log, including the introduction that is currently on the Talk page as well as any followup questions to the presentation, as a log article and then maintain the existing article as a guide with the information presented as is. That said, because the log excerpt that was retained on the Talk page does not appear to contain information vital to the article itself or further elaboration on the information presented in it, I also don't see an issue with keeping it as is for this specific case.
::In the case of [[Northern Sentinel's Decree on the Imperial Protection of Wehnimer's Landing]], which led to this conversation, 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. While the GS wiki does not get anywhere near as much traffic or use as Wikipedia, that does not mean that the GS wiki does not have its standards for how pages, including Talk pages, should be used. Those standards are also continually evolving as more content is added, and what may have been considered fine two years ago may have have updated standards today. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 09:40, 9 February 2023 (CST)
:::Hello again, WINTERDAWN. 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. Again, to reiterate, the purpose of Talk pages is to facilitate discussion about an article, such as questions about an article, incomplete research, or citing when permission was granted to post on behalf of another person. They are not intended to serve as articles themselves. Logs and completed research should be either incorporated into the main article or in a supplementary article. Hopefully this helps clear up any confusion for you. Thank you again for your patience as I worked to resolve this.

===Third Party Software===
[[User talk:GS4ALASTIR]]: Hi, GS4ALASTIR. I have followed up with the wiki team on a few recent edits that you made related to third-party software documentation on the wiki. Specifically, I am referring to the subpages you created associated with both [[Script Bigshot]] documentation and the main [[Script Eloot]] article. The wiki policy for documenting Lich software is viewable on [[Help:Style#Lich_information]]. You will need to get staff approval before creating any new Lich script pages or subpages by contacting the [mailto:gs4-wiki@play.net GSWiki email address]. (It is perfectly fine to continue to make edits to existing Lich script pages or subpages.) I will be taking the following steps:
* I am reverting the recent edits that you made to the [[Script Bigshot]] page to restore the information that was removed from it and moved onto the different subpages. Those subpages are:
** [[Script Bigshot/Profile tab]]
** [[Script Bigshot/Resting tab]]
** [[Script Bigshot/Hunting tab]]
** [[Script Bigshot/Attacking tab]]
** [[Script Bigshot/Commands tab]]
** [[Script Bigshot/Monitoring tab]]
** [[Script Bigshot/Misc tab]]
* I am adding a template on each of the Script Bigshot subpages noting that they are marked for deletion.
* I will be deleting each of the Script Bigshot subpages a week from today.
* I am adding a template onto the [[Script Eloot]] page noting that it is marked for deletion.
* I will be deleting [[Script Eloot]] a week from today.
* I am reverting the recent edits that you made to [[:Template:Third-Party Software]], which added a link and reference to the Script Eloot page.
Some of the information that you put onto the Script Bigshot subpages appears to be updated from how it was originally presented on the main article. I want to make sure that you have the opportunity to save or move that back on to the main approved script article before the subpages are permanently deleted. I also want to make sure that you have the same opportunity to save the information you wrote for the Script Eloot page. If you have any questions, please let me or another mod know, either via talk page or by asking on the official Discord server. Thanks for understanding.

===Character Vignettes===
[[User talk:LORDROELET]]: Hi there, LORDROELET. I wanted to let you know why I moved your [[Roelon (prime)/Vignette: Plea to the Wsalamir|Plea to the Wsalamir vignette]] back to where you had originally placed it on the wiki. The [[Help:Storyline guidelines#Character Vignettes|storyline guidelines]] were recently updated to address how character vignettes should be posted to the wiki, largely because most character vignettes were shared in response to storylines. Moving forward, their articles should be set up in the format of:
:<code><nowiki>Character name (instance)/Vignette name</nowiki></code>
In addition, they should not use the [[:Template:Creative-work#Character Vignettes|creative-work]] template as character vignettes are considered a form of "off screen roleplay" instead of a creative work like a poem or short story being told by a character. Thank you for sharing your character's vignettes on the wiki. If you have any questions, the best place to ask is on the Official GS Wiki discussion thread in the Discord forum's Help section.

===Third Party Software and Scripts===
[[User talk:RINUALDO]]: Hi there, RINUALDO. I have followed up with the wiki team on some new articles you made associated with Lich script documentation. Specifically, I am referring to [[Script foreach]] and [[Script invdb]], which were made last week, plus [[Script Ebounty]], which was made late last year. The wiki policy for documenting Lich software is viewable on [[Help:Style#Lich_information]]. I have confirmed with the wiki team that permission was not given in advance of these articles being created. You will need to get staff approval before creating any new Lich script articles or subarticles by contacting the [mailto:gs4-wiki@play.net GSWiki email address]. (It is perfectly fine to continue to make edits to existing Lich script articles or subarticles.) I am taking the following steps:
* I am adding a template on all three pages noting that they are marked for deletion:
** [[Script foreach]]
** [[Script invdb]]
** [[Script Ebounty]]
* I will delete all three pages one week from today.
I understand that you are active in helping maintain the existing approved third party software articles so that they are accurate and easy to understand for the community. I want to make sure that you have the opportunity to save the information you wrote for the above three articles should they be approved for creation again at a later date. If you have any questions, please let me or another mod know, either via talk page or by asking on the official Discord server. Thank you for understanding. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 10:03, 18 April 2023 (CDT)
:Putting stuff on talk pages with no way for a user to know that something exists unless they go to the wiki daily is a terrible, terrible way to communicate about deleting something with a timer.
:Can you please clarify "I have confirmed with the wiki team that permission was not given in advance of these articles being created" who you clarified this with?
::Hello again, RINUALDO. I am following up on your question from yesterday about the three articles you created for lich scripts. I did alert the wiki team of your message to me when you added it, and I am aware that staff were able to talk with you on Discord afterward and confirm that you did indeed have prior authorization for the invdb and foreach script articles.
::I would like to apologize on behalf of the wiki team for incorrectly flagging the [[Script foreach]] and [[Script invdb]] articles as not authorized. I am reverting my edits to both of those articles where I had added the delete template, and I am also putting a note on their respective Discussion tabs so that there is no confusion in the future. Unfortunately, the [[Script Ebounty]] article was not approved in advance of it being created, so I do need to delete it when the seven day window has concluded. Thank you for your patience and understanding. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 09:37, 20 April 2023 (CDT)

The ebounty page was intended in the prior approval that was released. It was referenced in the email request, which I could have been more specific. As this has gone to Feedback, please do not delete anything until the issue is resolved.
:Hi, RINUALDO. I have relayed your message to me on my talk page to the wiki team . Also, just as an FYI if it is helpful, if you want to add on your user name and a timestamp of an edit to the end of the message, it is possible to do so with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>.

::Hi again, RINUALDO. I wanted to update you on the three articles I previously reached out to you about. I have removed the delete template and renamed the article for [[Lich:Script Ebounty]] to conform with the updated guidelines for Lich scripts on the wiki. I have also moved both [[Lich:Script invdb]] and [[Lich:Script foreach]] for the same reason. All three articles will need the forthcoming lich header template added to them once the template has been finalized.

===Thaumaturge Tome Script===
[[User talk:ALLENM20]]: Hello, ALLENM20. I am following up with you on behalf of the wiki team. I know that MOD-GSMOTTE already reached out to you about the [[Lich:Thaumaturge Tome Script]] article that you previously wrote. In light of the updates to the wiki standards for lich script pages, the script article is now permitted on the wiki. I have moved the article so that its title properly conforms with these new standards (which adds Lich: at the start of the article title). The article will need to be updated with the forthcoming lich script template as soon as it is released. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

===Character Vignettes===
[[User talk:HALEM20]]: Hi again, HALEM20. Thank you for doing so many updates to help record events in the recent and ongoing Platinum storylines. I noticed that you recently added two character vignettes related to the [[:Category:What Lurks in the Dark|What Lurks in the Dark]] storyline that do not appear to be linked to your account based on prior edits to their respective character pages. If you are uploading vignettes on behalf of another player, you will need to very clearly state that on the Discussion tab for each page. The two vignettes are [[Jaired (platinum)/Loose Ends]] and [[Oliviero (platinum)/Interruption]]. To add that information, you will just need to click on the Discussion tab at the top of each article and note that you have permission to upload them. I recommend adding <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> to the end of it to make sure that you have a clear account/date/timestamp applied afterward. Thank you for understanding! [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 09:17, 19 June 2023 (CDT)
:Hello, HALEM20. I previously reached out to you about two character vignettes related to the [[:Category:What Lurks in the Dark|What Lurks in the Dark]] storyline that you added to the wiki for characters that did not appear to be yours, based on prior edits to their respective character pages. I see that Oliviero's player did confirm that permission was given to upload [[Oliviero (platinum)/Interruption]] to the wiki, however there is still no indication that Jaired's player gave permission to upload [[Jaired (platinum)/Loose Ends]]. GSwiki has recently updated its copyright policy with regard to posting works created by another person. I have flagged the "Interruption" vignette for not being in compliance with the updated [[Gswiki:Policy]] for [[GSwiki:Policy#Copyrights|Copyrights]] on works created by someone other than the uploader. A statement that the vignette was uploaded with permission by the author must be added to the vignette's [[Talk:Jaired (platinum)/Loose Ends|Discussion tab]]. '''If that is not added within 7 days, it will be deleted from the wiki.''' If you have any questions about this process or need more information about the updated policy for copyrights on articles, please reach out to the wiki team on the Gemstone [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926|Discord forum's wiki thread].

=== Blanked Article===
[[User talk:PAELA]]: Hi there, PAELA. I noticed that you created two articles for your vignette, "Disturbing News", and then went back and deleted all of the text on the duplicate article. The one that still has text is [[Agathilea (prime)/Disturbing News]] while the one that has had all text removed is [[Agathilea (prime)/Disturbing News/Disturbing News]]. Did you remove all the text because you wanted the second article to be deleted? Putting <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> on an article is the best way to let a wiki Mod know that the page was created in error and should be deleted from the wiki instead of just removing all of the text on it. If that is what you would like to be done, please add the delete template to the article so another mod or I can remove it for you.

===Recent Edits===
[[User talk:LUXELLE]]: Hi there, LUXELLE. I'd like to thank you for your many contributions to the wiki, especially for your guides to help other players better enjoy the various festivals and events in game. I know that you frequently collaborate with other players to write some of your guides. Another user recently made some edits to one of your guides, [[Duskruin primer]], that I was not sure were intended by you or your team. They do not appear to be malicious in nature, however I did want to reach out to you about if they were intended to be part of the article. The edits are a new section at the end of the article, [[Duskruin primer#All the big credit givings|All the big credit givings]]. If these edits were not intended by you or your team, either you can delete them or you can let me know and another mod or I would be happy to delete them for you.

===Images and Article Edits at Risk for Deletion===
[[User talk:CELLORA]]: Hi there, CELLORA. In reviewing some recent updates to the wiki, I saw that you have made quite a few edits to [[Sorlu (prime)]], which appears to be a character page for someone else's character. There is no indication anywhere that Sorlu's player gave you permission to create or edit a character page on their behalf. [[Gswiki:Policy]] prohibits users from editing character pages unless the character is theirs or they have been given permission by that character's player to make those edits. If you do have permission to edit Sorlu's character page, you will need to indicate this by clearly stating it on its Discussion/Talk tab, [[Talk:Sorlu (prime)]], that you have been given permission to do so by his player. Alternatively, Sorlu's player can put that information on the discussion page. When adding that information, please make sure to add <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of your comments, which will automatically add a "signature" with your user name, plus the date and time of when your edit was made.

In addition, there are a couple of images that I have flagged, all of which appear related to the same character article. I think I understand what is going on with the images but would appreciate some clarification from you if my understanding is correct.
* [[:File:Nalfein Crest.png]] - This image appears to be a duplicate of [[:File:A Nalfein Crest.png]]. It is not used on any articles. An earlier edit by you to the file noted you as being the creator.
* [[:File:A Nalfein Crest.png]] - This image appears on [[Sorlu (prime)]]. This image notes Sorlu as being the creator, as does the caption you added to Sorlu's character page.
Can you confirm who created the image? It appears that Sorlu's player created it, you erroneously placed your name on "Nalfein Crest" then removed it, then reuploaded the image crediting Sorlu. Is that accurate? If so, I will delete the first duplicate file as it is not used anywhere.
* [[:File:Nalfein Crest 3.png]] - This image appears to be a duplicate of [[:File:Rotting Nalfein Cret.png]]. It is not used on any articles. This image notes you as being the creator, not Sorlu's player.
* [[:File:Rotting Nalfein Cret.png]] This image appears on [[Sorlu (prime)]]. This image notes Sorlu as being the creator, as does the caption you added to Sorlu's character page.
Can you confirm who created the image? It appears that this is a similar situation as the above two images, where you first listed yourself as the creator then re-uploaded the image listing Sorlu as the creator. If that is the case, I will delete the first duplicate file as it is not used anywhere.

In all cases, '''If that information is not added within 7 days, your edits to the character page and the impacted images will be deleted from the wiki.''' Thank you very much for clearly taking steps to fully credit images, not just who created them but also if permission was granted to upload them. That is a big help for moderators like me as we review edits to the wiki. If you have any questions about this process or need more information about the updated policy for editing character pages, please reach out to the wiki team on the Gemstone [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926%7CDiscord forum's wiki thread].

Hello! Yes, I made a mistake on the images and couldn't figure out how to fix it without uploading new ones. If you could please delete the first ones, that would be great! He created them. I'm still figuring out the flagging and all of that for the wiki. I will add a note on the page that he gave me permission to create the page as well.

[[User talk:DASLOONIX]]: Hi again, DASLOONIX. In reviewing some recent updates to the wiki, I saw that you have made quite a few edits to [[Sorlu (prime)]], which appears to be a character page for someone else's character. There is no indication anywhere that Sorlu's player gave you permission to create or edit a character page on their behalf. [[Gswiki:Policy]] prohibits users from editing character pages unless the character is theirs or they have been given permission by that character's player to make those edits. If you do have permission to edit Sorlu's character page, you will need to indicate this by clearly stating it on its Discussion/Talk tab, [[Talk:Sorlu (prime)]], that you have been given permission to do so by his player. Alternatively, Sorlu's player can put that information on the discussion page. When adding that information, please make sure to add <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of your comments, which will automatically add a "signature" with your user name, plus the date and time of when your edit was made. '''If that information is not added within 7 days, your edits to that article will be deleted from the wiki.''' If you have any questions about this process or need more information about the updated policy for editing character pages, please reach out to the wiki team on the Gemstone [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926%7CDiscord forum's wiki thread].

===Images and Article Edits at Risk for Deletion===
[[User talk:CHADDEAUX]]: Hello, CHADDEAUX. I am reaching out to you about two things.

First, a few years ago you created and edited a character page article, [[Dirvy (prime)]], which has since then been edited by another user. There is no indication anywhere that Dirvy's player gave you permission to create or edit a character page on their behalf. [[Gswiki:Policy]] prohibits users from creating or editing character pages unless the character is theirs or they have been given permission by that character's player to make those edits. If you do have permission to edit Dirvy's character page, you will need to indicate this by clearly stating it on its Discussion/Talk tab, [[Talk:Dirvy (prime)]], that you have been given permission to do so by her player. Alternatively, Dirvy's player can put that information on the discussion page. When adding that information, please make sure to add <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of your comments, which will automatically add a "signature" with your user name, plus the date and time of when your edit was made.

Second, you previously uploaded three images to the wiki which are missing some required information. GSwiki now has a new policy for all images uploaded to it. Please see [[Gswiki:Policy#Copyrights]] for more information about that policy and the requirement to note image creators, what AI imaging software was used (if any), and if permission was granted by the creator to upload the image to the wiki.
* [[:File:Dirvy Britbane medium.jpg]] - Thank you for already stating that Stormyrain created this artwork. You will need to add whether Stormyrain also gave you permission to upload the image onto the wiki. This information will need to be noted both on the image file as well as all articles displaying it.
* [[:File:Dirvy by Flimbo.jpg]] - Thank you for already stating that Flimbo created this artwork. You will need to add whether Flimbo also gave you permission to upload the image onto the wiki. This information will need to be noted both on the image file as well as all articles displaying it.
* [[:File:Zailon.png]] - Thank you for already stating that Flimbo created this artwork. You will need to add whether Flimbo also gave you permission to upload the image onto the wiki. This information will need to be noted both on the image file as well as all articles displaying it.
In all cases for the character page and the three images, '''if the required information is not added within 7 days, the edits to the character page and the images will be deleted from the wiki.''' If you have any questions about this process or need more information about the updated policy for images, please reach out to the wiki team on the Gemstone [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926%7CDiscord forum's wiki thread].

===Images and Article Edits at Risk for Deletion===
[[User talk:TWILSON]]: Hello, TWILSON. I am reaching out to you about two things.

===Blanked article===
[[User talk:GS4ALASTIR]]: Hi there, GS4ALASTIR. I noticed that you created an article for [[Emberthorn Refuge]] with a lot of information on it then shortly afterward went back and removed all of the text. Are you trying to have the article deleted? If so, placing <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> on an article flags it for mods to review for deletion. Thanks again for your many contributions!

===Short Story Question===

[[User talk:CHIVERSFREE1]]: Hello, CHIVERSFREE1. The wiki team is currently working on some updates for the style guide as it relates to various types of creative works, including short stories and vignettes. This includes better defining what different creative works are so that they are better reflected with the creative-works template, article titles, etc., to help out both contributors and other players accessing the wiki. I know that you have been working on several lengthy articles, such as [[The Reckoning (short story)]], which might span several categories of creative works. I was hoping that you could share some insight on how you have approached writing articles like it.

You have "The Reckoning" labeled as a short story with the creative-works template. It appears to be a series of glimpses into off-screen/out-of-game roleplay focusing on your character as opposed to a short story written or shared by your character or set within Elanthia in general. Would you feel that is accurate - that it is more a lengthy series of off-screen vignettes as opposed to a formal short story? It also appears that there are sometimes contributions by other authors, such as chapters where Rohese and Mirkk are having a conversation or actively doing things together. Is "The Reckoning" retelling events that have taken place in game in a prose format (as opposed to a log format)? In some ways, it seems like it might almost be a [[Help:Storyline guidelines#Player-Run Storylines|player-run storyline]] focusing on Rohese's personal growth and evolution.

Thank you in advance for any insight you can offer. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 10:33, 3 October 2023 (CDT)

===Duplicate Logs===
[[User talk:TUMARA]]: Hi there, TUMARA. You recently added two logs that appear to be identical to the wiki. Can you please clarify which one you intended to keep? You can do this by editing the duplicate log that you want deleted and adding <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> somewhere on that log article. That flags it for a mod to delete. The two logs are:
* [[The Heads Rolled (Battle Log)]]
* [[The Heads Rolled--Battle Log]]
I will update the one you intended to keep with the correct log title once you have identified it. It will end up as titled "Evermore Hollow - 2023-10-23 - The Heads Rolled Battle (log)", per [[Gswiki:Style guide/Formatting special articles#Logs]]. If you do not note which article you prefer to keep within 7 days, then I will delete the newer article and keep the older one.

===Uploaded Images and Captions===
[[User talk:PTOLEMY]]: Hello, PTOLEMY. I have updated the image captions for all new images you added to your character page, [[Jaysehn (prime)]]. GSwiki now has a new policy for all images uploaded to it. Please see [[Gswiki:Policy#AI-Generated Artwork]] for more information about that policy and how it pertains to any images created with AI imaging software. AI generated images cannot be noted as copyrighted, and the captions displaying AI generated images must reflect the same information as what you indicated in their file uploads. I have already updated the captions based on information you provided with the uploaded files, however please keep this in mind with any future use of them or other AI-generated images. In addition, I have also already added the required [[:Category:AI artwork]] for all of your recently uploaded images. If you have any questions about this process or need more information about the updated policy for images, please reach out to the wiki team on the Gemstone [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926%7CDiscord forum's wiki thread].

===Duplicate Article===
[[User talk:PTOLEMY]]: Hello, PTOLEMY. You recently created two identical articles, [[Paid in Full]] and [[Jaysehn (prime)/Reflections/Paid in Full]]. I suspect that the second is the article you intended to create and the first was made in error, due to the second following the Style Guide's standards for personal vignettes. Can you please confirm which duplicate should be deleted? This can be done by editing the one you wish deleted and putting in the <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> template anywhere on the article. If I do not hear any response from you in one week, I will mark [[Paid in Full]] with the delete template for mod review and deletion. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 08:45, 13 December 2023 (CST)

===Images and Article Edits at Risk for Deletion===

[[User talk:PTOLEMY]]:Hi, PTOLEMY. I'm reaching out to you about a couple of things.

First, I'm contacting you about the recent images that you have uploaded to the wiki. The requirements for posting images to the wiki has changed this past year. Please see [[Gswiki:Policy#Copyrights]] for more information about that policy and the requirement to note image creators, what AI imaging software was used (if any), and if permission was granted by the creator to upload the image to the wiki. In addition, all images using AI generating software are required to include <nowiki>[[Category:AI artwork]]</nowiki> on the files themselves. I have edited all but two of the files that you have uploaded to include this, however in the future if this continues to be omitted, I will begin flagging those files for moderater review/deletion. This text should be added as part of the image file description when you upload it, or edited it into the image file description after uploading. The two files I have not edited to include this information are outlined in the next paragraph.

Second, you recently edited a character page, [[Hadya (prime)]], which has been maintained by another user. There is no indication anywhere that Hadya's player gave you permission to edit a character page on their behalf. [[Gswiki:Policy]] prohibits users from creating or editing character pages unless the character is theirs or they have been given permission by that character's player to make those edits. If you do have permission to edit Hadya's character page, you will need to indicate this by clearly stating it on its Discussion tab, [[Talk:Hadya (prime)]], that you have been given permission to do so by her player. Alternatively, Hadya's player can put that information on the discussion tab. When adding that information, please make sure to add <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of your comments, which will automatically add a "signature" with your user name, plus the date and time of when your edit was made. I am flagging the edits you made to this article as well as the two images you uploaded for it as not following [[Gswiki:Policy]] requiring permission from the character's player. The two impacted images are [[:File:Hadya AI Ptolemy.jpg]] and [[:File:HadyaSummons AI Ptolemy.jpg]]. These two images are also missing the required <nowiki>[[Category:AI artwork]]</nowiki>.

'''If that information is not added within 7 days, these images and article edits will be deleted from the wiki.''' Please do not remove the <nowiki>{{moddelete}}</nowiki> template from the images and article displaying them. Another moderator or I will remove that template after your updates have been reviewed to ensure that they meet [[Gswiki:Policy]] requirements. If you have any questions about this process or need more information about the updated policy for images, please reach out to the wiki team on the Gemstone [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926 Discord forum's wiki thread].

===Duplicate Images===
[[User talk:LYSTRA]]: Hi there, LYSTRA. You recently uploaded two images to the wiki that appear to be duplicates of one another except with slightly different resolutions. The two image files are [[:File:Fyg-kitten.png]] (1024x1024 pixels) and [[:File:Fyg-kitten1.png]] (500x500 pixels). Can you please let me know which of the two you had intended to keep on the wiki and which is the duplicate that should be deleted? I will remove the duplicate image. You can let me or another moderator know by adding <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> to the image file that was uploaded in error, or you can respond here. If I do not hear back from you in one week, I will flag the image with the lower resolution for mod review and deletion. In addition, all images using AI software in their creation are required to be included in [[:Category:AI artwork]]. To add that text to an image file, you will need to click on "Edit Source" on the image file itself and add <nowiki>[[Category:AI artwork]]</nowiki>. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 10:01, 20 December 2023 (CST)
:[[:File_talk:Fyg-kitten1.png]]: This image appears to be a lower resolution duplicate of [[:File:Fyg-kitten.png]] and is not used on any articles. It will be deleted in favor of the higher resolution image unless the uploader requests that this image be kept and the higher resolution image be deleted instead. Uploader originally contacted on 12/20/23 regarding the existence of a duplicate image and informed of this next step.

===Article Edits at Risk for Deletion===
[[User talk:SWEETLITTLEAGONY]]: Hello, SWEETLITTLEAGONY. In reviewing some recent updates to the wiki, I saw that you have made changes to [[Lissaya (prime)]], which appears to be a character page for someone else's character as the article was originally created by a different account. There is no indication anywhere that Lissaya's player gave you permission to edit a character page on their behalf. [[Gswiki:Policy]] prohibits users from editing character pages unless the character is theirs or they have been given permission by that character's player to make those edits. If you do have permission to edit Lissaya's character page, you will need to indicate this by clearly stating it on its Discussion tab, [[Talk:Lissaya (prime)]], that you have been given permission to do so by her player. Alternatively, Lissaya's player can put that information on the discussion page. When adding that information, please make sure to add <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of your comments, which will automatically add a "signature" with your user name, plus the date and time of when your edit was made.

===Edits to Announcements===
[[User talk:CHAPSICKLE2]]: Hi there, CHAPSICKLE2. Your recent edits to [[Announcement: Spell Disabler Review Live!]] were reverted as they violated [[Gswiki:Policy]], which states "Articles may be created or edited freely with the exception of: Announcements, Official Documentation, and Official Vignettes - Created by GameMasters only, handled by GameMasters and Moderators only." This is not an official warning or anything as the edits do appear to have been made in good faith. I have moved a copy of your added comments to the Announcement's Discussion/Talk tab, which can be accessed at [[Talk:Announcement: Spell Disabler Review Live!]]. In the future, please use the Discussion/Talk tab when adding notes related to official staff announcements if there is not a primary non-announcement article for the update discussed. Thank you for understanding. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 10:21, 16 January 2024 (CST)

===Edits to Character Pages/Subpages===
[[User talk:AFALLACE]]: Hi there, AFALLACE. I'm reaching out to you about recent edits you made to a couple of articles and sub-articles related to [[Jaired (platinum)]] and [[Jaired (platinum)/The Saga of Jaired Delone (short story)]]. There are a couple different accounts that have edited the content of these articles for things other than minor moderation or formatting updates. Only a player or someone to whom they have given permission may update a character's page per [[Gswiki:Policy]]. I do see that you have made nearly all content changes to Jaired's character page since its creation, however they do include substantial edits to the vignette subarticle that was authored by a different account. Can you please clarify where permissions stand for editing these by Jaired's player? I realize this might be a case of having multiple accounts, however there is no way for me to verify this as a moderator. If I don't hear back from you in 7 days, I will flag some of these updates for moderator review. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 10:15, 17 January 2024 (CST)

===Modified Artwork===
[[User talk:JSEVERNS]]: Hi there, JSEVERNS. Several years ago, you uploaded an image, [[:File:Teras Isle Regional final.jpg]]. Recently, another user modified your image to create [[:File:Teras Isle Discovery of Kragnek Dzu (Oro).png]]. The other user did note that your image was the original source, however there is no note that they have artist permission to make modifications for it. I also was not able to find any remarks on your original image file or its related captions that you have given any sort of blanket permission for modifications by others. Can you please clarify if permission was given? While your image does depict a map, it is considered artwork for the purposes of [[Gswiki:Policy#Copyrights]] and is protected under that section. If I don't hear back from you within 7 days, I will flag the new image for moderator review. You can respond either here or on my user talk page. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 11:15, 17 January 2024 (CST)

[[User talk:JGENGLISH]]: Hi there, JGENGLISH. You recently uploaded an image, [[:File:Teras Isle Discovery of Kragnek Dzu (Oro).png]], which appears to be modified from an image originally created by another artist, [[:File:Teras Isle Regional final.jpg]]. I do see that you included in the caption a note about the original image. Can you please clarify if the original artist gave you permission to modify their image? I don't see that remarked on anywhere in your upload notes/captions. While the image does depict a map, it is considered artwork for the purposes of [[Gswiki:Policy#Copyrights]] and is protected under that section. If I don't hear back from you within 7 days, I will flag the image for moderator review. You can respond either here or on my user talk page. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 11:15, 17 January 2024 (CST)

[[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]: Hey there. Just putting my response here to this as well: "Hello HOST-GSKEBECHET! Thanks, sorry. Yes, Aloska (JSEVERNS) gave me permission to edit their original artwork. I will add this to the image description. Should I also add it to the caption? I can ask him to check his TALK page here if that would also help."

===Articles Flagged for Deletion===
[[User talk:321FLAPTIME]]: Hello, 321FLAPTIME. I am letting you know that I have flagged two recent redirect articles that you made for deletion, [[HiWi]] and [[Hiwi]]. After consulting with the wiki team, it was determined that these articles were created in bad faith, which is against [[Gswiki:Policy]] #3. The redirects will be deleted in 7 days. If you have any questions about this process or need more information about the GSwiki Policy, please reach out to the wiki team on the Gemstone [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926 Discord forum's wiki thread].

===Editing Announcements===
[[User talk:GS4XANLIN]]: Hi there, GS4XANLIN. Just to give you a head's up, I've reverted a couple of recent changes you had made to Announcement articles. The [[Gswiki:Policy]] states that only GameMasters and Moderators can make edits to Announcements. I fully recognize that the edits you made were to fix typos or formatting errors, however in the future, please utilize an Announcement's talk page to let a Moderator or the wiki team know if there is an error that needs to be corrected. Thank you for pointing out the errors; I am addressing the ones you had attempted to fix as I resolve other items on recent Announcements. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 09:41, 14 February 2024 (CST)

<br>Hi there, HOST_GSKEBECHET. Re: reverting typo fixes on announcement because I'm not allowed to fix them because announcement pages are special per policy: maybe you could make a policy where GMs spellcheck their announcements before posting, since wiki policy is so serious.

== 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)

== 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.

: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.

== 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.

== 5mb File Size Down to 2mb ==

I'm noticing that the wiki now has a 2mb file size limit when it used to be 5mb. Is this an unintended result of the recent update or is it intentional? I'm trying to update my OSA maps but the 2mb limit is going to cause a huge loss in quality on them. Thoughts? If it's intentional, perhaps you or an admin could override the setting and post the two maps for me? [[User:WINTERDAWN|WINTERDAWN]] ([[User talk:WINTERDAWN|talk]]) 19:56, 7 January 2024 (CST)

=== Animalistic Spirit Shield iteminfo ===

[[User_talk:GS4ALASTIR]]: Hi, Alastir. Thank you very much for contributing so many different things to the various item script pages! Just as a head's up, I rolled back one of your changes made a while ago to the [[Animalistic_Spirit_Shield|Animalistic Spirit Shield]] page, where you had accidentally removed the iteminfo section. I have added back in the iteminfo section so that it properly displays; it's actually an important template to keep in place for scripted items as it helps populate other categories on the wiki, making it easier to cross-reference related things. Thanks for understanding! [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 09:55, 21 June 2022 (CDT)

[[User talk:WINTERDAWN]]: Thank you for all of the contributions you've made toward archiving all of the Elanthian Journals! Just as a reminder, please use <nowiki>[[Category:Marked for Deletion]]</nowiki> on a page when you would like it deleted. I went ahead and deleted the Journal pages you had cleared and replaced with the text, "Things to be deleted by Simu Admin." because your intent appeared to be very clear, however using the Category instead would make it easier for any mods to see those pages as part of weekly patrols for page deletion requests.

=== Requesting Clarification ===

Do you have the original author's permission to upload "Part 5" to the essay? I did not see you noting that anywhere on the essay's talk page ([[Talk:Ithzir_language_(essay)]]). When uploading someone else's work to the wiki on their behalf, it is important to note that on an individual creative work's talk page so that we have a clear understanding that permission was given by them.

=== Moving Saved Posts ===

[[User_talk:FIREPHOENIX]]: I just wanted to give you a head's up that I am moving and consolidating some saved posts on the wiki that don't meet the current [[Help:Style/Formatting_special_articles#Saved_posts|Style Guide standards]] for saved posts. Most of them are being moved to the "/saved posts" subpage of relevant questlines, and I am updating any broken links made as a result of these moves. I didn't want to worry you with the sudden rearranging of data and related page deletion since they include a few of the saved posts that you have archived with your ongoing efforts to preserve game history.

=== Wood Rarity Template Links ===

[[User talk:WINTERDAWN]]: Hi, WINTERDAWN. I just wanted to give you a head's up on why I reverted your changes to [[Template:Wood_Rarity_and_Use]] to remove the redlined links added. The additional links were all to existing real world trees that are not unique to Elanthia. While it is certainly fine for someone to eventually make pages for individual trees and add those links back in to the template, none of the trees with redlined links had anything unique to them in an Elanthian setting apart from their real world equivalents. Hopefully that helps clarify! [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 10:43, 26 July 2022 (CDT)

=== Merchant NPC Pages ===

[[User_talk:ECHEAUX]]: Hi, ECHEAUX. Thank you for your many contributions to the wiki! Getting a lot of the information related to the ongoing Ebon Gate festival out there while it is still running is a big help to other players. Just as a head's up, I have reverted some of the updates you made to various merchant NPC pages. These are largely restricted to where historical information was removed, such as festival venues or various towns where the merchants have worked. I wanted to drop you a note to explain why those changes were reverted so that you weren't surprised by them.

I also have a question regarding the recent updates that you made to [[Template:Merchants]] and related updates to various merchant NPC pages. Looking at the template, it seems like the "venue" section is now much more restricted than before, limited to only a very small list of festivals instead of being more free form as it was in the past. Is that intended or just an oversight? We have so many different festival venues that limiting which ones the template could be used for seems counterproductive, especially if it means that historical information is not preserved. It also looks like you have added a "town" as a new section, which can only have one entry. Is "town" intended to be the merchant's home town? Or is it intended to be the town they most often work in among the various towns they frequent? Thank you for any insight you can offer.

=== Works in Progress ===
[[User_talk:ECHEAUX]]: Hi there, ECHEAUX. I am slowly working through patrols of item script page updates, which I know you focused heavily on late last year. It looks like on several of them, mostly ones from October and November, you included the work-in-progress template to indicate you are still working on the pages, however many of them do not appear to have any recent updates in the past month+. While I don't believe these are all of them, they include [[AYRWT?]], [[Flask belt]], [[Ritualistic tool]], and a few others that look like they were from last year's Ebon Gate festival. Are you still actively working on some of these pages? If not, I'll remove the WIP template as I do the patrols to let other users know they are open for editing again.

=== Page Moves ===
[[User talk:ECHEAUX]]: Hi, ECHEAUX. I noticed that when you set up the item script page for the [[Grooming locket]], you did so by moving one of your test/sandbox pages with a substantial edit history to the current page. In doing so, that also had the the effect of moving the entire page history for your test page, which included a large number of edits stemming from when you were testing out formatting for other item scripts unrelated to the Grooming locket. While the wiki team is very glad that you're using your test/sandbox pages to try out new things, the best practice in this instance would be to just cut and paste the source code from your test page into a newly created item page instead of moving it from your sandbox if there are unrelated edits in the test page's history. I know that you're very well versed in wiki use at this point, but if you'd like, I can help with that process for the Grooming locket page.

===Talk Pages vs Articles===

[[User talk:WINTERDAWN]]: Hi, WINTERDAWN. I am reaching out to you because I am reverting back the edits on [[Northern Sentinel's Decree on the Imperial Protection of Wehnimer's Landing]] to include the full text of the letter instead of omitting portions of it. Could you help me understand why you removed portions of the letter? I understand that you also put the log of the letter being read aloud in game on the page's Talk page. However, the purpose of a Talk page is to provide notes about the main article, such as indicating permission to share something on behalf of another person, sharing incomplete research information, or asking a question/seeking clarification about the text of an article. Talk pages are not intended to be used as supplementary articles, nor should articles omit relevant information for the sake of sharing it on a Talk page. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 09:42, 8 February 2023 (CST)

:So there are two separate authors here: myself and WBURKE.

:When I first came across the letter as relayed by Cordarius, in user LEAFIARA's log, I thought, "this is very useful information that should probably be more accessible than in the middle of a log." However, it was late, and I was not necessarily wanting to embark on a lengthy project at the time, and so I literally just copy/pasted it into a separate wiki page (the awkwardly named one I marked for deletion).

:Soon after this, user WBURKE created a page to document the information relayed by that letter. The desire of my page was "here's the log so it's easier to find, maybe it'll be made nicer one day." The desire of their page was to focus on the specific points of interest in that letter. My focus was "here's the letter in full" while their focus was "here's the bullet points with regards to the Empire and Wehnimer's Landing." What they created is what I wanted the log to eventually turn into.

:I still felt it useful to have the log around, though, and so dumped it on the discussion page as I don't know where else to put it.

:As an aside, based on how this wiki is used, both in the past and currently, I feel that the discussion page is a fine spot for these types of things. On other wikis yes, you can have very lengthy conversations about the topics you listed, but that just doesn't really happen here on this one.

:Based on those guidelines we would need to move this content: [[Talk:Sanctify (330)]] and [[Talk:Introduction to the Confluence#The Mentor Event Itself]]. I feel that these bits, that are relevant to their pages, would detract from the pages themselves if added. The Sanctify content would just muddy the page and the Confluence content has no relevance on the guide itself. The Sanctify content would be easy enough to break out into it's own guide I guess, and I guess the Confluence content could just be added to my user page or something. /shrug

:Anyways, just my thoughts. At the end of the day you're the boss on this stuff so I acquiesce to what you feel is best :)

::Hi, WINTERDAWN. I am not ignoring your query; I am waiting on a response from the larger wiki team about how to approach this specific scenario. Generally speaking, any article's Talk page is not an appropriate venue for archiving important information. If the information is completed research, elaboration on topics contained within an article, or relevant log excerpts, that information should be on a main wiki article, not on a Talk page. Depending on what that information consists of, it could either be on the primary article itself or on a different article that is explicitly created to delve into a more complex concept.
::In the case of [[Talk:Sanctify (330)]], the information presented on it would be best in a main article and not on a Talk page; looking at the content, it does seem appropriate for a 330 guide article, as you pointed out (see [[Help:Style#User pages]]). In the case of [[Talk:Introduction to the Confluence]], this appears to be a log excerpt and would be appropriate for a page that is set up as an event log - in the format of "YYYY-MM-DD - Log Title (log)" (as per [[Help:Style/Formatting special articles#Logs]]). However, as the main page itself appears to be set up as a guide, which appears to be drawn from the log itself (or vice versa), it should adhere to the standards of creating a guide. My general recommendation would be to preserve an entire log, including the introduction that is currently on the Talk page as well as any followup questions to the presentation, as a log article and then maintain the existing article as a guide with the information presented as is. That said, because the log excerpt that was retained on the Talk page does not appear to contain information vital to the article itself or further elaboration on the information presented in it, I also don't see an issue with keeping it as is for this specific case.
::In the case of [[Northern Sentinel's Decree on the Imperial Protection of Wehnimer's Landing]], which led to this conversation, 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. While the GS wiki does not get anywhere near as much traffic or use as Wikipedia, that does not mean that the GS wiki does not have its standards for how pages, including Talk pages, should be used. Those standards are also continually evolving as more content is added, and what may have been considered fine two years ago may have have updated standards today.

===Third Party Software===
[[User talk:GS4ALASTIR]]: Hi, GS4ALASTIR. I have followed up with the wiki team on a few recent edits that you made related to third-party software documentation on the wiki. Specifically, I am referring to the subpages you created associated with both [[Script Bigshot]] documentation and the main [[Script Eloot]] article. The wiki policy for documenting Lich software is viewable on [[Help:Style#Lich_information]]. You will need to get staff approval before creating any new Lich script pages or subpages by contacting the [mailto:gs4-wiki@play.net GSWiki email address]. (It is perfectly fine to continue to make edits to existing Lich script pages or subpages.) I will be taking the following steps:
* I am reverting the recent edits that you made to the [[Script Bigshot]] page to restore the information that was removed from it and moved onto the different subpages. Those subpages are:
** [[Script Bigshot/Profile tab]]
** [[Script Bigshot/Resting tab]]
** [[Script Bigshot/Hunting tab]]
** [[Script Bigshot/Attacking tab]]
** [[Script Bigshot/Commands tab]]
** [[Script Bigshot/Monitoring tab]]
** [[Script Bigshot/Misc tab]]
* I am adding a template on each of the Script Bigshot subpages noting that they are marked for deletion.
* I will be deleting each of the Script Bigshot subpages a week from today.
* I am adding a template onto the [[Script Eloot]] page noting that it is marked for deletion.
* I will be deleting [[Script Eloot]] a week from today.
* I am reverting the recent edits that you made to [[:Template:Third-Party Software]], which added a link and reference to the Script Eloot page.
Some of the information that you put onto the Script Bigshot subpages appears to be updated from how it was originally presented on the main article. I want to make sure that you have the opportunity to save or move that back on to the main approved script article before the subpages are permanently deleted. I also want to make sure that you have the same opportunity to save the information you wrote for the Script Eloot page. If you have any questions, please let me or another mod know, either via talk page or by asking on the official Discord server. Thanks for understanding.

===Character Vignettes===
[[User talk:LORDROELET]]: Hi there, LORDROELET. I wanted to let you know why I moved your [[Roelon (prime)/Vignette: Plea to the Wsalamir|Plea to the Wsalamir vignette]] back to where you had originally placed it on the wiki. The [[Help:Storyline guidelines#Character Vignettes|storyline guidelines]] were recently updated to address how character vignettes should be posted to the wiki, largely because most character vignettes were shared in response to storylines. Moving forward, their articles should be set up in the format of:
:<code><nowiki>Character name (instance)/Vignette name</nowiki></code>
In addition, they should not use the [[:Template:Creative-work#Character Vignettes|creative-work]] template as character vignettes are considered a form of "off screen roleplay" instead of a creative work like a poem or short story being told by a character. Thank you for sharing your character's vignettes on the wiki. If you have any questions, the best place to ask is on the Official GS Wiki discussion thread in the Discord forum's Help section.

Specifically, I am referring to [[Script foreach]] and [[Script invdb]], which were made last week, plus [[Script Ebounty]], which was made late last year. The wiki policy for documenting Lich software is viewable on [[Help:Style#Lich_information]]. I have confirmed with the wiki team that permission was not given in advance of these articles being created. You will need to get staff approval before creating any new Lich script articles or subarticles by contacting the [mailto:gs4-wiki@play.net GSWiki email address]. (It is perfectly fine to continue to make edits to existing Lich script articles or subarticles.) I am taking the following steps:
* I am adding a template on all three pages noting that they are marked for deletion:
** [[Script foreach]]
** [[Script invdb]]
** [[Script Ebounty]]
* I will delete all three pages one week from today.
I understand that you are active in helping maintain the existing approved third party software articles so that they are accurate and easy to understand for the community. I want to make sure that you have the opportunity to save the information you wrote for the above three articles should they be approved for creation again at a later date. If you have any questions, please let me or another mod know, either via talk page or by asking on the official Discord server. Thank you for understanding.

I did alert the wiki team of your message to me when you added it, and I am aware that staff were able to talk with you on Discord afterward and confirm that you did indeed have prior authorization for the invdb and foreach script articles.
::I would like to apologize on behalf of the wiki team for incorrectly flagging the [[Script foreach]] and [[Script invdb]] articles as not authorized. I am reverting my edits to both of those articles where I had added the delete template, and I am also putting a note on their respective Discussion tabs so that there is no confusion in the future. Unfortunately, the [[Script Ebounty]] article was not approved in advance of it being created, so I do need to delete it when the seven day window has concluded. Thank you for your patience and understanding. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 09:37, 20 April 2023 (CDT)

The ebounty page was intended in the prior approval that was released. It was referenced in the email request, which I could have been more specific. As this has gone to Feedback, please do not delete anything until the issue is resolved.
:Hi, RINUALDO. I have relayed your message to me on my talk page to the wiki team . Also, just as an FYI if it is helpful, if you want to add on your user name and a timestamp of an edit to the end of the message, it is possible to do so with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 08:46, 25 April 2023 (CDT)
::Hi again, RINUALDO. I wanted to update you on the three articles I previously reached out to you about. I have removed the delete template and renamed the article for [[Lich:Script Ebounty]] to conform with the updated guidelines for Lich scripts on the wiki. I have also moved both [[Lich:Script invdb]] and [[Lich:Script foreach]] for the same reason. All three articles will need the forthcoming lich header template added to them once the template has been finalized. Thank you for your patience and understanding as the wiki guidelines continue to evolve. I appreciate your continued efforts to add documentation to the wiki to help other players better enjoy the game.

===Thaumaturge Tome Script===
[[User talk:ALLENM20]]: Hello, ALLENM20. I am following up with you on behalf of the wiki team. I know that MOD-GSMOTTE already reached out to you about the [[Lich:Thaumaturge Tome Script]] article that you previously wrote. In light of the updates to the wiki standards for lich script pages, the script article is now permitted on the wiki. I have moved the article so that its title properly conforms with these new standards (which adds Lich: at the start of the article title). The article will need to be updated with the forthcoming lich script template as soon as it is released. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

===Character Vignettes===
[[User talk:HALEM20]]: Hi again, HALEM20. Thank you for doing so many updates to help record events in the recent and ongoing Platinum storylines. I noticed that you recently added two character vignettes related to the [[:Category:What Lurks in the Dark|What Lurks in the Dark]] storyline that do not appear to be linked to your account based on prior edits to their respective character pages. If you are uploading vignettes on behalf of another player, you will need to very clearly state that on the Discussion tab for each page. The two vignettes are [[Jaired (platinum)/Loose Ends]] and [[Oliviero (platinum)/Interruption]]. To add that information, you will just need to click on the Discussion tab at the top of each article and note that you have permission to upload them. I recommend adding <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> to the end of it to make sure that you have a clear account/date/timestamp applied afterward. Thank you for understanding! [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 09:17, 19 June 2023 (CDT)
:Hello, HALEM20. I previously reached out to you about two character vignettes related to the [[:Category:What Lurks in the Dark|What Lurks in the Dark]] storyline that you added to the wiki for characters that did not appear to be yours, based on prior edits to their respective character pages. I see that Oliviero's player did confirm that permission was given to upload [[Oliviero (platinum)/Interruption]] to the wiki, however there is still no indication that Jaired's player gave permission to upload [[Jaired (platinum)/Loose Ends]]. GSwiki has recently updated its copyright policy with regard to posting works created by another person. I have flagged the "Interruption" vignette for not being in compliance with the updated [[Gswiki:Policy]] for [[GSwiki:Policy#Copyrights|Copyrights]] on works created by someone other than the uploader. A statement that the vignette was uploaded with permission by the author must be added to the vignette's [[Talk:Jaired (platinum)/Loose Ends|Discussion tab]]. '''If that is not added within 7 days, it will be deleted from the wiki.''' If you have any questions about this process or need more information about the updated policy for copyrights on articles, please reach out to the wiki team on the Gemstone [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926|Discord forum's wiki thread].

=== Blanked Article===
[[User talk:PAELA]]: Hi there, PAELA. I noticed that you created two articles for your vignette, "Disturbing News", and then went back and deleted all of the text on the duplicate article. The one that still has text is [[Agathilea (prime)/Disturbing News]] while the one that has had all text removed is [[Agathilea (prime)/Disturbing News/Disturbing News]]. Did you remove all the text because you wanted the second article to be deleted? Putting <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> on an article is the best way to let a wiki Mod know that the page was created in error and should be deleted from the wiki instead of just removing all of the text on it. If that is what you would like to be done, please add the delete template to the article so another mod or I can remove it for you. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 09:14, 9 August 2023 (CDT)

===Recent Edits===
[[User talk:LUXELLE]]: Hi there, LUXELLE. I'd like to thank you for your many contributions to the wiki, especially for your guides to help other players better enjoy the various festivals and events in game. I know that you frequently collaborate with other players to write some of your guides. Another user recently made some edits to one of your guides, [[Duskruin primer]], that I was not sure were intended by you or your team. They do not appear to be malicious in nature, however I did want to reach out to you about if they were intended to be part of the article. The edits are a new section at the end of the article, [[Duskruin primer#All the big credit givings|All the big credit givings]]. If these edits were not intended by you or your team, either you can delete them or you can let me know and another mod or I would be happy to delete them for you. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 10:26, 16 August 2023 (CDT)

===Images and Article Edits at Risk for Deletion===
[[User talk:CELLORA]]: Hi there, CELLORA. In reviewing some recent updates to the wiki, I saw that you have made quite a few edits to [[Sorlu (prime)]], which appears to be a character page for someone else's character. There is no indication anywhere that Sorlu's player gave you permission to create or edit a character page on their behalf. [[Gswiki:Policy]] prohibits users from editing character pages unless the character is theirs or they have been given permission by that character's player to make those edits. If you do have permission to edit Sorlu's character page, you will need to indicate this by clearly stating it on its Discussion/Talk tab, [[Talk:Sorlu (prime)]], that you have been given permission to do so by his player. Alternatively, Sorlu's player can put that information on the discussion page. When adding that information, please make sure to add <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of your comments, which will automatically add a "signature" with your user name, plus the date and time of when your edit was made.

In addition, there are a couple of images that I have flagged, all of which appear related to the same character article. I think I understand what is going on with the images but would appreciate some clarification from you if my understanding is correct.
* [[:File:Nalfein Crest.png]] - This image appears to be a duplicate of [[:File:A Nalfein Crest.png]]. It is not used on any articles. An earlier edit by you to the file noted you as being the creator.
* [[:File:A Nalfein Crest.png]] - This image appears on [[Sorlu (prime)]]. This image notes Sorlu as being the creator, as does the caption you added to Sorlu's character page.
Can you confirm who created the image? It appears that Sorlu's player created it, you erroneously placed your name on "Nalfein Crest" then removed it, then reuploaded the image crediting Sorlu. Is that accurate? If so, I will delete the first duplicate file as it is not used anywhere.
* [[:File:Nalfein Crest 3.png]] - This image appears to be a duplicate of [[:File:Rotting Nalfein Cret.png]]. It is not used on any articles. This image notes you as being the creator, not Sorlu's player.
* [[:File:Rotting Nalfein Cret.png]] This image appears on [[Sorlu (prime)]]. This image notes Sorlu as being the creator, as does the caption you added to Sorlu's character page.
Can you confirm who created the image? It appears that this is a similar situation as the above two images, where you first listed yourself as the creator then re-uploaded the image listing Sorlu as the creator. If that is the case, I will delete the first duplicate file as it is not used anywhere.

In all cases, '''If that information is not added within 7 days, your edits to the character page and the impacted images will be deleted from the wiki.''' Thank you very much for clearly taking steps to fully credit images, not just who created them but also if permission was granted to upload them. That is a big help for moderators like me as we review edits to the wiki. If you have any questions about this process or need more information about the updated policy for editing character pages, please reach out to the wiki team on the Gemstone [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926%7CDiscord forum's wiki thread].

Hello! Yes, I made a mistake on the images and couldn't figure out how to fix it without uploading new ones. If you could please delete the first ones, that would be great! He created them. I'm still figuring out the flagging and all of that for the wiki. I will add a note on the page that he gave me permission to create the page as well.

===Images and Article Edits at Risk for Deletion===
[[User talk:CHADDEAUX]]: Hello, CHADDEAUX. I am reaching out to you about two things.

First, a few years ago you created and edited a character page article, [[Dirvy (prime)]], which has since then been edited by another user. There is no indication anywhere that Dirvy's player gave you permission to create or edit a character page on their behalf. [[Gswiki:Policy]] prohibits users from creating or editing character pages unless the character is theirs or they have been given permission by that character's player to make those edits. If you do have permission to edit Dirvy's character page, you will need to indicate this by clearly stating it on its Discussion/Talk tab, [[Talk:Dirvy (prime)]], that you have been given permission to do so by her player. Alternatively, Dirvy's player can put that information on the discussion page. When adding that information, please make sure to add <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of your comments, which will automatically add a "signature" with your user name, plus the date and time of when your edit was made.

Second, you previously uploaded three images to the wiki which are missing some required information. GSwiki now has a new policy for all images uploaded to it. Please see [[Gswiki:Policy#Copyrights]] for more information about that policy and the requirement to note image creators, what AI imaging software was used (if any), and if permission was granted by the creator to upload the image to the wiki.
* [[:File:Dirvy Britbane medium.jpg]] - Thank you for already stating that Stormyrain created this artwork. You will need to add whether Stormyrain also gave you permission to upload the image onto the wiki. This information will need to be noted both on the image file as well as all articles displaying it.
* [[:File:Dirvy by Flimbo.jpg]] - Thank you for already stating that Flimbo created this artwork. You will need to add whether Flimbo also gave you permission to upload the image onto the wiki. This information will need to be noted both on the image file as well as all articles displaying it.
* [[:File:Zailon.png]] - Thank you for already stating that Flimbo created this artwork. You will need to add whether Flimbo also gave you permission to upload the image onto the wiki. This information will need to be noted both on the image file as well as all articles displaying it.
In all cases for the character page and the three images, '''if the required information is not added within 7 days, the edits to the character page and the images will be deleted from the wiki.''' If you have any questions about this process or need more information about the updated policy for images, please reach out to the wiki team on the Gemstone [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926%7CDiscord forum's wiki thread].

===Images and Article Edits at Risk for Deletion===
[[User talk:TWILSON]]: Hello, TWILSON. I am reaching out to you about two things.

First, you recently edited a character page article, [[Dirvy (prime)]], which was originally created and edited by another user. There is no indication anywhere that Dirvy's player gave you permission to create or edit a character page on their behalf. [[Gswiki:Policy]] prohibits users from creating or editing character pages unless the character is theirs or they have been given permission by that character's player to make those edits.

===Blanked article===
[[User talk:GS4ALASTIR]]: Hi there, GS4ALASTIR. I noticed that you created an article for [[Emberthorn Refuge]] with a lot of information on it then shortly afterward went back and removed all of the text. Are you trying to have the article deleted? If so, placing <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> on an article flags it for mods to review for deletion. Thanks again for your many contributions!

===Short Story Question===

[[User talk:CHIVERSFREE1]]: Hello, CHIVERSFREE1. The wiki team is currently working on some updates for the style guide as it relates to various types of creative works, including short stories and vignettes. This includes better defining what different creative works are so that they are better reflected with the creative-works template, article titles, etc., to help out both contributors and other players accessing the wiki. I know that you have been working on several lengthy articles, such as [[The Reckoning (short story)]], which might span several categories of creative works. I was hoping that you could share some insight on how you have approached writing articles like it.

You have "The Reckoning" labeled as a short story with the creative-works template. It appears to be a series of glimpses into off-screen/out-of-game roleplay focusing on your character as opposed to a short story written or shared by your character or set within Elanthia in general. Would you feel that is accurate - that it is more a lengthy series of off-screen vignettes as opposed to a formal short story? It also appears that there are sometimes contributions by other authors, such as chapters where Rohese and Mirkk are having a conversation or actively doing things together. Is "The Reckoning" retelling events that have taken place in game in a prose format (as opposed to a log format)? In some ways, it seems like it might almost be a [[Help:Storyline guidelines#Player-Run Storylines|player-run storyline]] focusing on Rohese's personal growth and evolution.

Thank you in advance for any insight you can offer. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 10:33, 3 October 2023 (CDT)

===Duplicate Logs===
[[User talk:TUMARA]]: Hi there, TUMARA. You recently added two logs that appear to be identical to the wiki. Can you please clarify which one you intended to keep? You can do this by editing the duplicate log that you want deleted and adding <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> somewhere on that log article. That flags it for a mod to delete. The two logs are:
* [[The Heads Rolled (Battle Log)]]
* [[The Heads Rolled--Battle Log]]
I will update the one you intended to keep with the correct log title once you have identified it. It will end up as titled "Evermore Hollow - 2023-10-23 - The Heads Rolled Battle (log)", per [[Gswiki:Style guide/Formatting special articles#Logs]]. If you do not note which article you prefer to keep within 7 days, then I will delete the newer article and keep the older one. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 09:35, 31 October 2023 (CDT)

===Uploaded Images and Captions===
[[User talk:PTOLEMY]]: Hello, PTOLEMY. I have updated the image captions for all new images you added to your character page, [[Jaysehn (prime)]]. GSwiki now has a new policy for all images uploaded to it. Please see [[Gswiki:Policy#AI-Generated Artwork]] for more information about that policy and how it pertains to any images created with AI imaging software. AI generated images cannot be noted as copyrighted, and the captions displaying AI generated images must reflect the same information as what you indicated in their file uploads. I have already updated the captions based on information you provided with the uploaded files, however please keep this in mind with any future use of them or other AI-generated images. In addition, I have also already added the required [[:Category:AI artwork]] for all of your recently uploaded images. If you have any questions about this process or need more information about the updated policy for images, please reach out to the wiki team on the Gemstone [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926%7CDiscord forum's wiki thread].

===Duplicate Article===
[[User talk:PTOLEMY]]: Hello, PTOLEMY. You recently created two identical articles, [[Paid in Full]] and [[Jaysehn (prime)/Reflections/Paid in Full]]. I suspect that the second is the article you intended to create and the first was made in error, due to the second following the Style Guide's standards for personal vignettes. Can you please confirm which duplicate should be deleted? This can be done by editing the one you wish deleted and putting in the <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> template anywhere on the article. If I do not hear any response from you in one week, I will mark [[Paid in Full]] with the delete template for mod review and deletion. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 08:45, 13 December 2023 (CST)

===Images and Article Edits at Risk for Deletion===

[[User talk:PTOLEMY]]:Hi, PTOLEMY. I'm reaching out to you about a couple of things.

First, I'm contacting you about the recent images that you have uploaded to the wiki. The requirements for posting images to the wiki has changed this past year. Please see [[Gswiki:Policy#Copyrights]] for more information about that policy and the requirement to note image creators, what AI imaging software was used (if any), and if permission was granted by the creator to upload the image to the wiki. In addition, all images using AI generating software are required to include <nowiki>[[Category:AI artwork]]</nowiki> on the files themselves. I have edited all but two of the files that you have uploaded to include this, however in the future if this continues to be omitted, I will begin flagging those files for moderater review/deletion. This text should be added as part of the image file description when you upload it, or edited it into the image file description after uploading. The two files I have not edited to include this information are outlined in the next paragraph.

Second, you recently edited a character page, [[Hadya (prime)]], which has been maintained by another user. There is no indication anywhere that Hadya's player gave you permission to edit a character page on their behalf. [[Gswiki:Policy]] prohibits users from creating or editing character pages unless the character is theirs or they have been given permission by that character's player to make those edits. If you do have permission to edit Hadya's character page, you will need to indicate this by clearly stating it on its Discussion tab, [[Talk:Hadya (prime)]], that you have been given permission to do so by her player. Alternatively, Hadya's player can put that information on the discussion tab. When adding that information, please make sure to add <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of your comments, which will automatically add a "signature" with your user name, plus the date and time of when your edit was made. I am flagging the edits you made to this article as well as the two images you uploaded for it as not following [[Gswiki:Policy]] requiring permission from the character's player. The two impacted images are [[:File:Hadya AI Ptolemy.jpg]] and [[:File:HadyaSummons AI Ptolemy.jpg]]. These two images are also missing the required <nowiki>[[Category:AI artwork]]</nowiki>.

'''If that information is not added within 7 days, these images and article edits will be deleted from the wiki.''' Please do not remove the <nowiki>{{moddelete}}</nowiki> template from the images and article displaying them. Another moderator or I will remove that template after your updates have been reviewed to ensure that they meet [[Gswiki:Policy]] requirements. If you have any questions about this process or need more information about the updated policy for images, please reach out to the wiki team on the Gemstone [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926 Discord forum's wiki thread].

===Duplicate Images===
[[User talk:LYSTRA]]: Hi there, LYSTRA. You recently uploaded two images to the wiki that appear to be duplicates of one another except with slightly different resolutions. The two image files are [[:File:Fyg-kitten.png]] (1024x1024 pixels) and [[:File:Fyg-kitten1.png]] (500x500 pixels). Can you please let me know which of the two you had intended to keep on the wiki and which is the duplicate that should be deleted? I will remove the duplicate image. You can let me or another moderator know by adding <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> to the image file that was uploaded in error, or you can respond here. If I do not hear back from you in one week, I will flag the image with the lower resolution for mod review and deletion. In addition, all images using AI software in their creation are required to be included in [[:Category:AI artwork]]. To add that text to an image file, you will need to click on "Edit Source" on the image file itself and add <nowiki>[[Category:AI artwork]]</nowiki>. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 10:01, 20 December 2023 (CST)
:[[:File_talk:Fyg-kitten1.png]]: This image appears to be a lower resolution duplicate of [[:File:Fyg-kitten.png]] and is not used on any articles. It will be deleted in favor of the higher resolution image unless the uploader requests that this image be kept and the higher resolution image be deleted instead. Uploader originally contacted on 12/20/23 regarding the existence of a duplicate image and informed of this next step.

In reviewing some recent updates to the wiki, I saw that you have made changes to [[Lissaya (prime)]], which appears to be a character page for someone else's character as the article was originally created by a different account.

===Edits to Announcements===
[[User talk:CHAPSICKLE2]]: Hi there, CHAPSICKLE2. Your recent edits to [[Announcement: Spell Disabler Review Live!]] were reverted as they violated [[Gswiki:Policy]], which states "Articles may be created or edited freely with the exception of: Announcements, Official Documentation, and Official Vignettes - Created by GameMasters only, handled by GameMasters and Moderators only." This is not an official warning or anything as the edits do appear to have been made in good faith. I have moved a copy of your added comments to the Announcement's Discussion/Talk tab, which can be accessed at [[Talk:Announcement: Spell Disabler Review Live!]]. In the future, please use the Discussion/Talk tab when adding notes related to official staff announcements if there is not a primary non-announcement article for the update discussed.

===Edits to Character Pages/Subpages===
[[User talk:AFALLACE]]: Hi there, AFALLACE. I'm reaching out to you about recent edits you made to a couple of articles and sub-articles related to [[Jaired (platinum)]] and [[Jaired (platinum)/The Saga of Jaired Delone (short story)]]. There are a couple different accounts that have edited the content of these articles for things other than minor moderation or formatting updates. Only a player or someone to whom they have given permission may update a character's page per [[Gswiki:Policy]]. I do see that you have made nearly all content changes to Jaired's character page since its creation, however they do include substantial edits to the vignette subarticle that was authored by a different account. Can you please clarify where permissions stand for editing these by Jaired's player? I realize this might be a case of having multiple accounts, however there is no way for me to verify this as a moderator. If I don't hear back from you in 7 days, I will flag some of these updates for moderator review.

===Modified Artwork===
[[User talk:JSEVERNS]]: Hi there, JSEVERNS. Several years ago, you uploaded an image, [[:File:Teras Isle Regional final.jpg]]. Recently, another user modified your image to create [[:File:Teras Isle Discovery of Kragnek Dzu (Oro).png]]. The other user did note that your image was the original source, however there is no note that they have artist permission to make modifications for it. I also was not able to find any remarks on your original image file or its related captions that you have given any sort of blanket permission for modifications by others. Can you please clarify if permission was given? While your image does depict a map, it is considered artwork for the purposes of [[Gswiki:Policy#Copyrights]] and is protected under that section. If I don't hear back from you within 7 days, I will flag the new image for moderator review. You can respond either here or on my user talk page. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 11:15, 17 January 2024 (CST)

[[User talk:JGENGLISH]]: Hi there, JGENGLISH. You recently uploaded an image, [[:File:Teras Isle Discovery of Kragnek Dzu (Oro).png]], which appears to be modified from an image originally created by another artist, [[:File:Teras Isle Regional final.jpg]]. I do see that you included in the caption a note about the original image. Can you please clarify if the original artist gave you permission to modify their image? I don't see that remarked on anywhere in your upload notes/captions. While the image does depict a map, it is considered artwork for the purposes of [[Gswiki:Policy#Copyrights]] and is protected under that section. If I don't hear back from you within 7 days, I will flag the image for moderator review. You can respond either here or on my user talk page. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 11:15, 17 January 2024 (CST)

[[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]: Hey there. Just putting my response here to this as well: "Hello HOST-GSKEBECHET! Thanks, sorry. Yes, Aloska (JSEVERNS) gave me permission to edit their original artwork. I will add this to the image description. Should I also add it to the caption? I can ask him to check his TALK page here if that would also help."

===Articles Flagged for Deletion===
[[User talk:321FLAPTIME]]: Hello, 321FLAPTIME. I am letting you know that I have flagged two recent redirect articles that you made for deletion, [[HiWi]] and [[Hiwi]]. After consulting with the wiki team, it was determined that these articles were created in bad faith, which is against [[Gswiki:Policy]] #3. The redirects will be deleted in 7 days. If you have any questions about this process or need more information about the GSwiki Policy, please reach out to the wiki team on the Gemstone [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926 Discord forum's wiki thread]. If you wish to appeal this, you can follow the steps outlined in [[Gswiki:Policy#Appeals Process]].

===Editing Announcements===
[[User talk:GS4XANLIN]]: Hi there, GS4XANLIN. Just to give you a head's up, I've reverted a couple of recent changes you had made to Announcement articles. The [[Gswiki:Policy]] states that only GameMasters and Moderators can make edits to Announcements. I fully recognize that the edits you made were to fix typos or formatting errors, however in the future, please utilize an Announcement's talk page to let a Moderator or the wiki team know if there is an error that needs to be corrected. Thank you for pointing out the errors; I am addressing the ones you had attempted to fix as I resolve other items on recent Announcements. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 09:41, 14 February 2024 (CST)

<br>Hi there, HOST_GEKEBECHET. Re: reverting typo fixes on announcement because I'm not allowed to fix them because announcement pages are special per policy: maybe you could make a policy where GMs spellcheck their announcements before posting, since wiki policy is so serious. LOL. Do what you gotta do, bro. [[User:GS4XANLIN|GS4XANLIN]] ([[User talk:GS4XANLIN|talk]])

== 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)

== 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.

: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.

== 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.

== 5mb File Size Down to 2mb ==

I'm noticing that the wiki now has a 2mb file size limit when it used to be 5mb. Is this an unintended result of the recent update or is it intentional? I'm trying to update my OSA maps but the 2mb limit is going to cause a huge loss in quality on them. Thoughts? If it's intentional, perhaps you or an admin could override the setting and post the two maps for me? [[User:WINTERDAWN|WINTERDAWN]] ([[User talk:WINTERDAWN|talk]]) 19:56, 7 January 2024 (CST)

Terror flare

2024-02-03T17:08:42Z

GS4XANLIN:

'''Terror Flares''' are a type of specialty [[flare]] which provides immobilized status (-50 DS), puts the receipt in stance offensive, adds RT, and is a 100% penalty to the base skill EBP of the target and cause the target to drop their weapons.
Terror Flares have been offered at [[:Category:Ebon Gate Festival|Ebon Gate]] and as of EG 2022, are able to be added to weapons, armor, and shields. They do not work on undead.

Terror Flares add -100 to item difficulty.

Rotflares

2024-02-02T18:48:45Z

GS4XANLIN:

'''RotFlares''' are a rare type of script [[flare]]. They are unusual in that they increase in frequency and severity with necromancy training, do damage over time, and can be added to weapons that already have another script (for many but not all scripts). They are applied to weapons and runestaves.

==Release and Availability==
Rotflares were released by Skyrn at [[Ebon Gate]] 2014. He added rotflares to 5 weapons in Prime through a variety of distribution methods, including a contest for who had the most necromancy ranks and a silent auction. That same event, a +25 RotFlares bastard sword was found while digging.

Rotflares have since been available at multiple runs of Duskruin Arena, either as pre-made weapons, or as a service added on to an existing weapon.

==Mechanics==
When RotFlares trigger, they do damage from the [[disruption critical table]]. For weapons, rotflares flare rates increase at the following thresholds, as shared by Wyrom: 0, 36, 136, 171. The following table shows experimental data on flare rates from necromancy ranks that do not all align with these thresholds. Given the information shared by Wyrom, the data from 90 ranks of necromancy should also apply to 36 ranks of necromancy, and the data from 180 ranks of necromancy should also apply to 171 ranks of necromancy.

|}
Wyrom confirmed that the rank thresholds apply to any profession equally. Years later (2019), we learned from Wyrom that "it uses the same seed as ensorcell." His later comments seemed to suggest that this table was accurate for flare rate, and the ensorcell seed applied to hidden disease damage, but he was not crystal clear about it.

RotFlares also apply a [[disease]] to the target, if the target is not already diseased. The disease damage per round is somewhat randomized, and scales with necromancy ranks. With 0 ranks, the disease does about 10 damage per round. With 180 ranks of necromancy, the disease inflicts more like 70 damage per round. This disease first inflicts damage approximately 3 seconds after it is applied, then every 30 seconds thereafter. This disease does not provide messaging when it deals damage.

Finally, RotFlares apply a relatively modest damage-over-time (DoT) effect, separate from the disease effect. Similar to the disease effect, it is applied only if the target is not already under the effect of a RotFlares DoT effect, and it triggers 3 seconds after it is applied. It triggers again every 10 seconds thereafter. The effect is visible, and can cause stuns and knockdowns. It causes roughly 7 damage per trigger on average, and is seemingly not affected by the users' necromancy ranks.

RotFlares applies only to creatures with blood, which is roughly equivalent to non-undead crittable creatures, with some exceptions.

==Script Incompatibility==
While RotFlares can be applied to most scripted weapons, there are a few scripts that it doesn't function with.

* Greater and Lesser [[Coraesine]]
* [[ShadowDeath weapon]]
* [[Sorrow]]
* [[Fusion]]
* Sword canes
* [[Chronomage dagger|ChronoFlares]]
* Bandolier weapon
* [[Elemental bow|Ebows]]

* [[Chainspear|Chainspears]]

List of workshops

2024-02-01T17:26:52Z

GS4XANLIN: /* House Brigatta */

A list of [[magical workshop]]s in [[Elanthia]]. Additions to this list should include workshops that are deemed workshops via [[wizard]] [[sense]].
<pre{{log2}}>
You study your surroundings and use your keen knowledge of the arcane. It quickly becomes evident that this room is a magical workshop.
</pre>
{{TOC limit|2}}
==Public Workshops==
===Mist Harbor===
{{RoomDescription
|roomname = Prestidigitorium
|desc = White marble walls encapsulate this small entry room. The interior of the building is blocked by a heavy oak door. Twin torches are affixed to the wall on either side of the door and cast their light on the room, bathing the contents in a golden glow. A low table near the entry is covered with a scarlet cloth, on which rests several small trinkets that glitter in the torchlight. Wandering the room is a darkly robed illusionist, who scours the area with a harsh gaze.

===River's Rest===
Located across Maelstrom Bay.
{{RoomDescription
|roomname = Ruined Tower, Workshop
|desc = Heavily corroded brass curtain rods are barely intact over the archway leading westward, the curtains that once draped over the arch long gone. A large crystal orb stands on a pedestal in the middle of the chamber, a bluish-green viscous fluid writhing on the interior of the sphere. The sphere gives off a faint glow that fills the chamber, highlighting the alembics, phials, crucibles and retorts that rest on an old workbench.
|rnum = 11506
|exits = none
|paths =
|float =
|margin-right =
}}
===Ta'Illistim===
Located on Aerie Way
{{RoomDescription
|roomname = Artificer Tower
|desc = The topmost chamber of the tower benefits from the structure's domed roof, opening up the space to twice the height of the rooms below. A ring of clerestory windows placed just beneath the cap of the dome itself let in a light tinged by their dark blue glass panes, a light which falls on the many banners and pennons hanging from the walls. In the center of the chamber, a stairway spirals downward.
|rnum = 26797
|exits = none
|paths =
|float =
|margin-right =
}}
===Wehnimer's Landing===
Located in the basement of the Abandoned Inn.
{{RoomDescription
|roomname = Smuggling Tunnels, Workshop
|desc = The dirt and stone walls have been ashed and blackened by a powerful force of energy. What was once a mage's workshop is now little more than warped wrecks of metalwork and splintered bits of wood, laden with the scent of ozone and electricity. Nothing escaped whatever disaster occurred here, but the feeling of magic remains, putting the hairs on your arms and the back of your neck at attention.
|rnum = 6928
|exits = out
|paths =
|float =
|margin-right =
}}
Located in the sea caverns off the Mine Road.
{{RoomDescription
|roomname = Wolves' Den, Aramur's Workshop

Strange symbols are etched on the ceiling and floor. A mural painted on the eastern wall depicts a flight of dragons soaring through a twilight sky.

===Beacon Hall===
Open to the public at this time.
{{RoomDescription
|roomname = Beacon Hall, Magical Workshop
|desc = A strange orb in the center of the room glows softly, bathing everything in a fuzzy, ethereal light. Shelves containing old potions, scrolls and mortars fill one wall. Some barely discernable runes cover the opposite wall. Next to the orb's pedestal a heavy table partially hides a large chest. You also see a heavy glaes door.

===Helden Hall===
{{RoomDescription
|roomname = Helden Hall, Workshop
|desc = Your pulse pounds and your skin tingles from the essence-saturated contents of this room. Images of weapons come to mind, fashioned from many different exotic ores being molded and sharpened to a degree you have only dreamed of. A large table sits in the center of the room, containing every imaginable type of item. A chest rests against the far wall and a pedal-driven whetstone takes up a full corner of the room. You also see a polished pine door.

===House Brigatta===
{{RoomDescription
|roomname = House Brigatta, Workshop
|desc = The walls are slightly burned in spots where someone's apparently amateurish attempts at magic have gone awry. Dead center in the room is a heavy marble slab scratched and blackened from the powerful spells which have been cast in the room. The ceiling is covered with polished copper, the mirrored surface reflecting your movements. You also see a heavy mein door.

===House Phoenix===
{{RoomDescription
|roomname = Phoenix Annex, Workshop
|desc = A faint trace of residual magic tingles your fingertips as you cross the threshold of this workshop. A domed window in the ceiling lets in bright sunlight that shines directly upon a well-worn and slightly charred desk strewn with various parchments and notes. The walls are lined with shelves and cabinets which contain beakers, flasks, and decanters of multi-colored liquids that sparkle in the light. You also see a sparkling black mein door and a wood cabinet with some stuff on it.

===House of Paupers===
{{RoomDescription
|roomname = Paupers, Workshop
|desc = Hanging tapestries that decorate the four corners of this room accentuate the vaulted ceiling -- the symbols for fire, earth, air and water are all represented in the various designs. Jagged burns on the hardwood floor and several fingernail-sized gouges in the near wall offer evidence that suggests a powerful explosion, but from the looks of things it must have happened long ago. You also see an onyx-inlaid white glaes desk and an onyx and cherry wood door.

===House Sovyn===
This is one of the few house workshops open to the public.
{{RoomDescription
|roomname = House Sovyn, Workshop
|desc = In this room you feel energy and power flowing all around you. You are amazed that you can see the courtyard from the inside, while from the outside you cannot see in. There are myriad crystal shelves and cabinets containing many rare magic items, strange powders and colored vials. A large crystal workbench with a red stone imbedded in it rests in the center of the floor. The moonlight that surrounds you is coming from the walls and the high windows in the tower. You also see a crystal door.

===House Sylvanfair===
{{RoomDescription

Open to the public at this time.
{{RoomDescription

|desc = The acrid scent of one too many spilled potions permeates the workshop, competing with the faint wax smell from what seems to be hundreds of burning candles. Their light eases the stark midnight black of the enchanting circle carved into the flagstone floor. A mithril-bound workbench is bolted to the north wall, its surface covered with empty vials and beakers, scorch marks and a copy of an elementary text on enchanting. You also see a massive iron door, a dusty old tome, a mithril-bound workbench and a scholarly human woman.

===Twilight Hall===
{{RoomDescription

===White Haven===
{{RoomDescription

|desc = Steam rising from a dark cauldron is touched by prisms of color cast from the crystalline walls of the room. A floating orb hangs above a long wooden table set with chairs upholstered in finely-tooled leather. Bookcases lined with tomes of magic are placed against one wall while a low workbench graces another. You also see a mithril-bound chest.

====Kodo's Cottage====
{{RoomDescription
|roomname = Small Cottage, Workshop
|desc = A huge glyph-covered slab, with a potion cabinet at one end, dominates the center of this room. The temperature here feels slightly warmer than the rest of the cottage. A faint scent of ozone lingers in the air about you, and a slight tingling sensation occasionally travels across your skin. Scrolls, and other miscellaneous items, lay scattered about the workshop.

Enhancive item

2023-12-22T21:53:41Z

GS4XANLIN: fixed unclosed pre tags

'''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.

== 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]]/[[Mana]]/[[Stamina]]: +50
*[[hit_point|Health]]/[[mana_point_regeneration|Mana]]/[[Stamina]] Regen: +50
*Max [[Spirit]]/[[spirit regeneration|Spirit Regen]]: +3

'''It is important to note that these limits do not stack.'''

[[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).

== 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 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.
</pre>
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.

== 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}}>

==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.

Solstice Market

GS4XANLIN:

A traveling caravan of shops that visits River's Rest and Ta'Vaalor during the solstice season.

[[Holiday_Giftwagons]]

==2023==
The Solstice Market Has Officially Rolled into Town!

The solstice season has arrived, and with it comes the Solstice Market! The traveling caravan of shops has rolled into River's Rest, arriving in the Khan'Kel Bazaar area. Visitors can find the shadowy alley at [River's Rest, Merchants' Walk] (u2101010) where a large number of merchants have provided holiday-themed wares for all of your gift-giving needs!

The Solstice Market will be visiting River's Rest until the 15th of Eorgaen, then will begin its journey to Ta'Vaalor. We encourage all crafters to set up their stalls and kiosks alongside the wagons, the more the merrier!

OOC: What started out as a simple holiday caravan has snowballed into a full-blown market. A heartfelt thank you to GM Tivvy for her suggestions and contributions, and to GMs Casil, Xynwen, Valyrka, Vanah, and Xayle for helping feed my holiday season madness.

Perhaps they were created for more nefarious purposes, but I must find my way back to the Gate soon. This popcorn is delicious.
