__NOTOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Regwen Peregrinus&#039;&#039;&#039; is a citizen of [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]]. She is a [[Dark Elf]] [[bard]] and a follower of the Lord [[Ronan]].&lt;br /&gt;
==Appearance==&lt;br /&gt;
She is very tall and has a delicately lithe build.  She appears to have come of age.  She has long-lashed sea green eyes and lightly tanned skin.  She has long, soft, wavy platinum hair with blue dreamstone beads entwined throughout a gathered plait that starts at the crown of her head.  She has a delicate face and a classical nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neither of her parents agreed with their respective family&#039;s politics.  Her father left the House of Faendryl to elope with her Dhe&#039;nar mother. They felt that a fresh start in the Landing area would allow them the freedom and peace they desired.  Her parents never mentioned their family&#039;s houses, so Regwen grew up without a House; on a small turnip farm. Only after their deaths did Regwen find papers revealing her parents houses. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen grew up sheltered and pampered, training with the best tutors that the Bard Guild could offer.  She was one those children who never really had to practice much in order learn a new tune or instrument.   Her masters were sometimes harsh in their criticisms as she was quite talented but had no interest in the details of her studies.  She felt that their comments were petty and their baton whacks were demeaning. The ticking sound of a metronome would make her cringe.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Regwen was nearly of age, she felt that she should head out on her own. She thought life would be easy as she was, &amp;quot;just so talented”.  Who wouldn&#039;t love to hear her play?  She would surely be a court performer in no time!  She was a follower of Lord Cholen thinking he would surely bless her grand plans.  Her parents, being supportive and dreamers themselves, gave her leave to go out on her own.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But, she was very naive and inexperienced with life in general.  Regwen learned quickly that the world is not a safe place and that there were many performers vying for the few positions available locally yet alone those in the distant empire.  She found that there were few to help her and she struggled with her life lessons. After a particularly grueling time, her parents having been killed by the Jantalorian attacks in 5103, Regwen fell asleep in a deep exhaustion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==5115==&lt;br /&gt;
Twelve years later, when Regwen awoke, she was shocked to see the devastation of the town and declined population. She began to wonder if there could be a greater purpose for her, rather than simply being a performer.  Regwen became determined to complete her trainings both as a bard and as a voln master. She decided to follow Lord Ronan, whom she saw as a more engaged Arkati against the unlife and the general evil so prominent in the lands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 She was converted to [[Ronan]] by the Lord of Dreams himself during a mass prayer session which was led by the Second Watcher of the Church of Koar, [[Lheren]].  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen is currently a herald for the court of Vornavis as a member of the Silver Gryphons.  She is also a major/Adjunct in the Drakes Vanguard.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

__NOTOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Regwen Maritin&#039;&#039;&#039; is a citizen of [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]]. She is a [[Dark Elf]] [[bard]] and a follower of the Lord [[Ronan]].&lt;br /&gt;
==Appearance==&lt;br /&gt;
She is very tall and has a delicately lithe build.  She appears to have come of age.  She has long-lashed sea green eyes and lightly tanned skin.  She has long, soft, wavy platinum hair with blue dreamstone beads entwined throughout a gathered plait that starts at the crown of her head.  She has a delicate face and a classical nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neither of her parents agreed with their respective family&#039;s politics.  Her father left the House of Faendryl to elope with her Dhe&#039;nar mother. They felt that a fresh start in the Landing area would allow them the freedom and peace they desired.  Her parents never mentioned their family&#039;s houses, so Regwen grew up without a House; on a small turnip farm. Only after their deaths did Regwen find papers revealing her parents houses. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen grew up sheltered and pampered, training with the best tutors that the Bard Guild could offer.  She was one those children who never really had to practice much in order learn a new tune or instrument.   Her masters were sometimes harsh in their criticisms as she was quite talented but had no interest in the details of her studies.  She felt that their comments were petty and their baton whacks were demeaning. The ticking sound of a metronome would make her cringe.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Regwen was nearly of age, she felt that she should head out on her own. She thought life would be easy as she was, &amp;quot;just so talented”.  Who wouldn&#039;t love to hear her play?  She would surely be a court performer in no time!  She was a follower of Lord Cholen thinking he would surely bless her grand plans.  Her parents, being supportive and dreamers themselves, gave her leave to go out on her own.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But, she was very naive and inexperienced with life in general.  Regwen learned quickly that the world is not a safe place and that there were many performers vying for the few positions available locally yet alone those in the distant empire.  She found that there were few to help her and she struggled with her life lessons. After a particularly grewling time, her parents having been killed by the Jantalorian attacks in 5103, Regwen fell asleep in a deep exhaustion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==5115==&lt;br /&gt;
Twelve years later, when Regwen awoke, she was shocked to see the devastation of the town and declined population. She began to wonder if there could be a greater purpose for her, rather than simply being a performer.  Regwen became determined to complete her trainings both as a bard and as a voln master. She decided to follow Lord Ronan, whom she saw as a more engaged Arkati against the unlife and the general evil so prominent in the lands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 She was converted to [[Ronan]] by the Lord of Dreams himself during a mass prayer session which was led by the Second Watcher of the Church of Koar, [[Lheren]].  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen is currently a herald for the court of Vornavis as a member of the Silver Gryphons.  She is also a major/Adjunct in the Drakes Vanguard.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
__NOTOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Regwen Maritin&#039;&#039;&#039; is a citizen of [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]]. She is a [[Dark Elf]] [[bard]] and a follower of the Lord [[Ronan]].&lt;br /&gt;
==Appearance==&lt;br /&gt;
She is very tall and has a delicately lithe build.  She appears to have come of age.  She has long-lashed sea green eyes and lightly tanned skin.  She has long, soft, wavy platinum hair with blue dreamstone beads entwined throughout a gathered plait that starts at the crown of her head.  She has a delicate face and a classical nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neither of her parents agreed with their respective family&#039;s politics.  Her father left the House of Faendryl to elope with her Dhe&#039;nar mother. They felt that a fresh start in the Landing area would allow them the freedom and peace they desired.  Her parents never mentioned their family&#039;s houses, so Regwen grew up without a House; on a small turnip farm. Only after their deaths did Regwen find papers revealing her parents houses. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen grew up sheltered and pampered, training with the best tutors that the Bard Guild could offer.  She was one those children who never really had to practice much in order learn a new tune or instrument.   Her masters were sometimes harsh in their criticisms as she was quite talented but had no interest in the details of her studies.  She felt that their comments were petty and their baton whacks were demeaning. The ticking sound of a metronome would make her cringe.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Regwen was nearly of age, she felt that she should head out on her own. She thought life would be easy as she was, &amp;quot;just so talented”.  Who wouldn&#039;t love to hear her play?  She would surely be a court performer in no time!  She was a follower of Lord Cholen thinking he would surely bless her grand plans.  Her parents, being supportive and dreamers themselves, gave her leave to go out on her own.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But, she was very naive and inexperienced with life in general.  Regwen learned quickly that the world is not a safe place and that there were many performers vying for the few positions available locally yet alone those in the distant empire.  She found that there were few to help her and she struggled with her life lessons. After a particularly grewling time, her parents having been killed by the Jantalorian attacks in 5103, Regwen fell asleep in a deep exhaustion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;alert alert-info&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Wednesday nights are [[Guild#Guild Nights|Guild Nights]]&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Empath Guild&#039;&#039;&#039; is the [[empath]]s&#039; [[profession guild]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Empath Guild Skill List==&lt;br /&gt;
;[[Alchemy]] - There are three subskills to Alchemy.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[General Alchemy]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[empath potions|Empath Potions]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[empath trinkets|Empath Trinkets]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Emotion Projection&lt;br /&gt;
:This is a planned skill that is not yet implemented.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Guildmaster==&lt;br /&gt;
Promotion to Guildmaster status requires mastery of General Alchemy and a total of 125 skill ranks; once meeting this requirement, the presence of 2 other members who have also met the requirement (whether they are currently a Guildmaster or eligible for promotion themselves) is necessary to execute the promotion. Player Guildmasters can gain experience and fame for checking in other Guild members (must be inactive or required to check in in the next 10 days) or for promoting other Guild members to higher ranks. Guildmasters need to drop by the guild once a month - if they don&#039;t they&#039;ll receive a warning after a month, followed by loss of status after three.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Locations==&lt;br /&gt;
The Empath Guild has structures in the following locations:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Empath Guild (Wehnimer&#039;s Landing)]] - On the east side of town, across the bridge approaching Argent Aspis&lt;br /&gt;

*[[Empath Guild (Kharam Dzu)]] - Near the herbalist&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Empath Guild (Zul Logoth)]] - In a domed granite building in the Chalcedony Tunnel, south of the healer&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Empath Guild (Ta&#039;Illistim)]] - In a hall at the southeastern end of Ellaerin Var.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Empath Guild (Ta&#039;Vaalor)]] - Down a brick path set in a herringbone pattern leading through the fence on Gaeld Var&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Empath Guild (Mist Harbor)]] - Vineyard, all the way northeast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each Guild has an alchemy annex and alchemy shop, and some house masseuses, an aromatherapy room, a recipe research library, and a meditation room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Insignia==&lt;br /&gt;
The symbol of the Empath Guild is an emerald green acantha leaf crossed over a sparkling silver longsword on a field of pure white.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The motto is, &amp;quot;Heal When We Can, Fight When We Must.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

Myrefalcon was the first empath to master all three Alchemy skills.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Regwen Maritin&#039;&#039;&#039; is a citizen of [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]]. She is a [[Dark Elf]] [[bard]] and a follower of the Lord [[Ronan]].&lt;br /&gt;
==Apperance==&lt;br /&gt;
She is very tall and has a delicately lithe build.  She appears to have come of age.  She has long-lashed sea green eyes and lightly tanned skin.  She has long, soft, wavy platinum hair with blue dreamstone beads entwined throughout a gathered plait that starts at the crown of her head.  She has a delicate face and a classical nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neither of her parents agreed with their respective family&#039;s politics.  Her father left the House of Faendryl to elope with her Dhe&#039;nar mother. They felt that a fresh start in the Landing area would allow them the freedom and peace they desired.  Her parents never mentioned their family&#039;s houses, so Regwen grew up without a House; on a small turnip farm.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen grew up sheltered and pampered, training with the best tutors that the Bard Guild could offer.  She was one those children who never really had to practice much in order learn a new tune or instrument.   Her masters were sometimes harsh in their criticisms as she was quite talented but had no interest in the details of her studies.  She felt that their comments were petty and their baton whacks were demeaning. The ticking sound of a metronome would make her cringe.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Regwen was nearly of age, she felt that she should head out on her own. She thought life would be easy as she was, &amp;quot;just so talented”.  Who wouldn&#039;t love to hear her play?  She would surely be a court performer in no time!  She was a follower of Lord Cholen thinking he would surely bless her grand plans.  Her parents, being supportive and dreamers themselves, gave her leave to go out on her own.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But, she was very naive and inexperienced with life in general.  Regwen learned quickly that the world is not a safe place and that there were many performers vying for the few positions available locally yet alone those in the distant empire.  She found that there were few to help her and she struggled with her life lessons. After a particularly grewling time, her parents having been killed by the Jantalorian attacks in 5103, Regwen fell asleep in a deep exhaustion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==5115==&lt;br /&gt;
Twelve years later, when Regwen woke, she was shocked to see the devastation of the townspeople and the evil that was rampant with the landing.  She began to wonder if there could be a greater purpose for her, rather than simply being a performer.  Regwen became determined to follow Lord Ronan, whom she saw as a more engaged Arkati against the unlife and the general evil so prominent in the lands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While watching trial of [[Davard]] and by chance shortly afterward, she crossed paths with High Lord [[Falvicar]] the paladin of [[Ronan]].  His gallantry and kindness drew her to him and they soon wed. She was converted to [[Ronan]] by the Lord of Dreams himself during a mass prayer session which was led by the Second Watcher of the Church of Koar, [[Lheren]].&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{TOC limit|10}} &amp;lt;!-- this is to get the table of contents above the opening blurb --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After gaining the ability to cast &#039;&#039;&#039;Sanctify&#039;&#039;&#039;, a cleric will begin to acquire devotion as they gain [[experience]]. A skilled cleric can use this devotion to permanently enhance combat armaments for use against the [[undead]]. This enhancement provides both offensive and defensive benefits, and can even be further bestowed with Holy Fire flares.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Armament Enhancements ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Undead possess a natural 25% damage resistance to physical attacks, as well as a +25 bonus to defending against [[:Category:Player System Manager | PSM skills]]. Each tier of Sanctify on relevant offensive combat gear negates 20% of these defenses, removing them completely at the fifth tier (T5).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further, sanctified items gain the following benefits when combating the undead (and only the undead):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Weapons&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Melee and ranged weapons gain a bonus of 2 AS per tier. &lt;br /&gt;
* Runestaves gain a bonus of 2 bolt AS and 1.2 CS per tier.&lt;br /&gt;
* Each tier also has a 20% chance to [[anchor]] non-corporeal undead when defeated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Defensive Gear&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Targets wielding a sanctified shield or torso armor gain a bonus, per tier, of 2 DS, 1.2 TD, and +1 effective level against [[sheer fear]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Targets wielding a sanctified runestaff gain a bonus, per tier, of 1 DS, 0.6 TD, and +0.5 effective level against sheer fear.&lt;br /&gt;
* Runestaff and shield bonuses stack with torso armor, but not with each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Holy Fire Flares&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A cleric with at least 100 ranks of [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] can spend 200,000 devotion to attempt to bestow permanent Holy Fire flares to a T5 sanctified weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
* Holy Fire flares, in addition to a standard heat critical, will deal a random 50 to 100 concussion damage. The concussion damage is capped at 20% of the target’s total health.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Cleric-Only Effects&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* An innate cleric bonus to these flares is that the concussion damage is instead 75 to 125.&lt;br /&gt;
* Clerics can EVOKE 330 at items to temporarily grant them Holy Fire flares and non-corporeal undead anchoring. This enhancement functions for clerics only, does not apply any of the other 330 benefits, and lasts for 4 hours.&lt;br /&gt;
* At 90 and 180 ranks of [[Spiritual Lore, Religion]] clerics gain an extra charge of a Holy Fire flare that is guaranteed to trigger on their next attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Skill Formula ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Level]]: +1 per level&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Cleric Base|Cleric Spell Ranks]]: +2 per rank up to level, +1 per rank above level (&amp;quot;up to level&amp;quot; is based on 1x spell training and thus a level 50 cleric with 100 ranks will have 52 ranks at +2 and 48 ranks at +1)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Wisdom]]: +1 per stat bonus&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Influence]]: +1 per stat bonus&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Spiritual Mana Control]]: +1 per 2 ranks&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Magic Item Use]]: +1 per 10 ranks&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Arcane Symbols]]: +1 per 10 ranks&lt;br /&gt;
* Shrine Bonus: +20 for matching [[CONVERT (verb)|{{boldmono|CONVERT}}]] exactly, +10 for same {{boldmono|CONVERT}} pantheon (bonuses do not stack)&lt;br /&gt;
* Being wounded and under a penalty from low spirit will hinder sanctification attempts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Shrine Bonus ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Holy places]] that show through [[SENSE (verb)|{{boldmono|SENSE}}]] a deity that you are converted to will give a +20 bonus. If you are not converted to that deity, but are in the same pantheon (Liabo, Lornon, and Neutral) it will give a +10 bonus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Holy places that show multiple deities will not give the +20 deity bonus, but instead the +10 pantheon bonus. An example of this would be if you were converted to Lorminstra, and in a location that senses as &amp;quot;Lorminstra, Imaera, Phoen, and Oleani.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An omnishrine, a location that senses as having the &amp;quot;harmonized presence of multiple deities&#039; influence,&amp;quot; will give the +20 deity bonus to all clerics, regardless of deity selection (including other, forsaken, and not yet chosen).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A location that senses as having the &amp;quot;influence of an indiscernible higher power&amp;quot; is an unknown, but specific deity in the Neutral pantheon. A forsaken cleric received a +10 bonus while a Lorminstra cleric received +0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Incomplete List of Omnishrines ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Icemule Trace]]&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Icemule Temple, Foyer - 2334, 4047001&lt;br /&gt;
*Icemule Temple, Chancel Nexus - 2336, 4047005&lt;br /&gt;
*Hall of the Holy Struggle - 2341, 4047024&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]]&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[House Sovyn]], Paladin&#039;s Lounge - 14617, 210010 (publicly accessible)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Rone Academy]], Cathedral - 24484, 217033 (publicly accessible)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Zul Logoth]]&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[DragonSpine Fane]], Altar Chamber - 26068, 679031 (all 3 obelisk Chambers are also omnishrines)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Process ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sanctifying gear may require a [[Enchanting potion#Pre-tempering Potions | pre-temper potion]] be applied before the service can be cast as follows: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Enhancive]]: an [[urven&#039;eth potion]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Ensorcell]]: an [[inky black potion]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: [[Enchant | Enchanting]] and Ensorcelling sanctified gear requires an urven&#039;eth potion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CAST &amp;lt;object&amp;gt; will provide an estimate on difficulty.&lt;br /&gt;
CHANNEL &amp;lt;object&amp;gt; will preform the permanent application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Post Name Titles ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After spending 50 full weeks of devotion (2.5 million) the cleric will gain access to the Sanctifier [[Title system | title]]. After bestowing 15 items with Holy Fire (3 million devotion) the cleric will gain access to the Holy Flame title. Devotion spent on bestowing Holy Fire counts for devotion spent towards the Sanctifier title. The [[SPELL (verb)|{{boldmono|SPELL}}]] command will show the lifetime amount of both devotion spent and armaments bestowed with Holy Fire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The titles are listed in the skill section of the title list ({{boldmono|TITLE LIST SKILL}}) and these titles also work with the {{boldmono|SET SHOWDEITYTITLE ON}} setting to create a title of: &amp;lt;character name&amp;gt; the &amp;lt;title&amp;gt; of &amp;lt;deity&amp;gt;.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

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

:(Flick is not actually a &amp;quot;guild skill&amp;quot;, but a special verb available specifically to wizards who are members of the guild.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Alchemy]] &lt;br /&gt;
:Composed of three individual guild skill categories, the practice of Alchemy allows the creation of a wide range of magical items, some of which are only available through Alchemy, and others which are also available in shops or via the treasure system. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::These skills are categorized as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
:::* [[General Alchemy]] - which concerns itself with the creation of generic alchemical products that are available to all four Alchemist professions, including healing tinctures, mana potions, and ayanad type crystals, among others. &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;It should be noted that General Alchemy is considered the &#039;master&#039; among these skills, and it is not possible to advance beyond your rank in General Alchemy in either of the other skill categories.&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::* [[wizard potions|Wizard Potions]] - which concerns itself with the creation of liquids which, when poured or drunk, will impart the benefit of a range of Wizard spells, such as defensive spells, [[Elemental Blade (411)]], among others. Potions used for [[Enchant Item (925)|enchanting]] are also made in Potions training.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::* [[wizard trinkets|Wizard Trinkets]] - which concerns itself with the creation of solids which, when waved or rubbed or otherwise activated, will impart the benefit of a range of Wizard spells, such as [[Strength (509)|white crystals]], [[Minor Fire (906)|golden wands]], among others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Requirements and Benefits ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wizards level 15 and above can join the guild.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wizards who are a member of the Guild gain access to a special Guild amunet channel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When advancing through the training ranks, wizards can receive [[experience]] and [[fame]] for completed tasks and promotion to higher ranks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Promotion to Guildmaster status requires mastery of General Alchemy and a total of 125 skill ranks; once meeting this requirement, the presence of 2 other members who have also met the requirement (whether they are currently a Guildmaster or eligible for promotion themselves) is necessary to execute the promotion. Player Guildmasters can gain [[experience]] and [[fame]] for checking in other Guild members (must be inactive or required to check in in the next 10 days) or for promoting other Guild members to higher ranks.  Guildmasters need to drop by the guild once a month - if they don&#039;t they&#039;ll receive a warning after a month, followed by loss of status after three.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fees ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It costs 4500 silvers to join the guild, and 1500 per month. You may pay up to three months (90 days) in advance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Player Guildmasters must check in each month, but pay no fees.&lt;br /&gt;

__NOTOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Regwen Maritin&#039;&#039;&#039; is a citizen of [[Wehnimer&#039;s Landing]]. She is a [[Dark Elf]] [[bard]] and a follower of the Lord [[Ronan]].&lt;br /&gt;
==Apperance==&lt;br /&gt;
She is very tall and has a delicately lithe build.  She appears to have come of age.  She has long-lashed sea green eyes and lightly tanned skin.  She has long, soft, wavy platinum hair with blue dreamstone beads entwined throughout a gathered plait that starts at the crown of her head.  She has a delicate face and a classical nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neither of her parents agreed with their respective family&#039;s politics.  Her father left the House of Faendryl to elope with her Dhe&#039;nar mother. They felt that a fresh start in the Landing area would allow them the freedom and peace they desired.  Her parents never mentioned their family&#039;s houses, so Regwen grew up without a House; on a small turnip farm.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen grew up sheltered and pampered, training with the best tutors that the Bard Guild could offer.  She was one those children who never really had to practice much in order learn a new tune or instrument.   Her masters were sometimes harsh in their criticisms as she was quite talented but had no interest in the details of her studies.  She felt that their comments were petty and their baton whacks were demeaning. The ticking sound of a metronome would make her cringe.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Regwen was nearly of age, she felt that she should head out on her own. She thought life would be easy as she was, &amp;quot;just so talented”.  Who wouldn&#039;t love to hear her play?  She would surely be a court performer in no time!  She was a follower of Lord Cholen thinking he would surely bless her grand plans.  Her parents, being supportive and dreamers themselves, gave her leave to go out on her own.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But, she was very naive and inexperienced with life in general.  Regwen learned quickly that the world is not a safe place and that there were many performers vying for the few positions available locally yet alone those in the distant empire.  She found that there were few to help her and she struggled with her life lessons. After a particularly grewling time, her parents having been killed by the Jantalorian attacks in 5103, Regwen fell asleep in a deep exhaustion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==5115==&lt;br /&gt;
Twelve years later, when Regwen woke, she was shocked to see the devastation of the townspeople and the evil that was rampant with the landing.  She began to wonder if there could be a greater purpose for her, rather than simply being a performer.  Regwen became determined to follow Lord Ronan, whom she saw as a more engaged Arkati against the unlife and the general evil so prominent in the lands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While watching trial of [[Davard]] and by chance shortly afterward, she crossed paths with High Lord [[Falvicar]] the paladin of [[Ronan]].  His gallantry and kindness drew her to him and they soon wed. She was converted to [[Ronan]] by the Lord of Dreams himself during a mass prayer session which was led by the Second Watcher of the Church of Koar, [[Lheren]].&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

Neither of her parents agreed with their respective family&#039;s politics.  Her father left the House of Faendryl to elope with her Dhe&#039;nar mother. They felt that a fresh start in the Landing area would allow them the freedom and peace they desired.  Her parents never mentioned their family&#039;s houses, so Regwen grew up without a House; on a small turnip farm.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regwen grew up sheltered and pampered, training with the best tutors that the Bard Guild could offer.  She was one those children who never really had to practice much in order learn a new tune or instrument.   Her masters were sometimes harsh in their criticisms as she was quite talented but had no interest in the details of her studies.  She felt that their comments were petty and their baton whacks were demeaning. The ticking sound of a metronome would make her cringe.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Regwen was nearly of age, she felt that she should head out on her own. She thought life would be easy as she was, &amp;quot;just so talented”.  Who wouldn&#039;t love to hear her play?  She would surely be a court performer in no time!  She was a follower of Lord Cholen thinking he would surely bless her grand plans.  Her parents, being supportive and dreamers themselves, gave her leave to go out on her own.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But, she was very naive and inexperienced with life in general.  Regwen learned quickly that the world is not a safe place and that there were many performers vying for the few positions available locally yet alone those in the distant empire.  She found that there were few to help her and she struggled with her life lessons. After a particularly grewling time, her parents having been killed by the Jantalorian attacks in 5103, Regwen fell asleep in a deep exhaustion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==5115==&lt;br /&gt;
Twelve years later, when Regwen woke, she was shocked to see the devastation of the townspeople and the evil that was rampant with the landing.  She began to wonder if there could be a greater purpose for her, rather than simply being a performer.  Regwen became determined to follow Lord Ronan, whom she saw as a more engaged Arkati against the unlife and the general evil so prominent in the lands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While watching trial of [[Davard]] and by chance shortly afterward, she crossed paths with High Lord [[Falvicar]] the paladin of [[Ronan]].  His gallantry and kindness drew her to him and they soon wed. She was converted to [[Ronan]] by the Lord of Dreams himself during a mass prayer session which was led by the Second Watcher of the Church of Koar, [[Lheren]].&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

She is very tall and has a delicately lithe build.  She appears to have come of age.  She has long-lashed sea green eyes and lightly tanned skin.  She has long, soft, wavy platinum hair with blue dreamstone beads entwined throughout a gathered plait that starts at the crown of her head.  She has a delicate face and a classical nose.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;An Ebon Gate Primer&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Introduction==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ebon Gate 2018 | Ebon Gate]] is a huge, multi-faceted annual Festival Event in GemStone. The 2017 Ebon Gate was the first time it took place the entire month of October, which continued in 2018, and the format is back for 2019. This is a large SimuCoin event at a venue outside of the regularly accessible areas of GemStoneIV. You can buy the SimuCoin pass for just the kind of activities you wish to attend: Shopping, or Merchants/Services/Raffles, or Digging and games (by the week). There is no cut off date for the passes - they are sold up to the last day, and there is no maximum number of attendees. Everyone can come. Anyone will be able to access the Festival Grounds at Caligos Isle without purchasing anything at all. Doing things ... that&#039;s going to require the appropriate SimuCoin item.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# The first rule of Ebon Gate: Bookmark the wiki page and the shopping page. It saves you time later. They will be regularly updated with new Ebon Gate information as it becomes available.  The wiki team has already created the pages, and will update them with new info. (Also - check with the wiki team and find out if you can help with the documentation of the Festival. There&#039;s a Lich script that does a lot the heavy lifting for you.)&lt;br /&gt;
#* Main Info Page: [[Ebon Gate 2019]]&lt;br /&gt;
#* Shops&#039; Inventory Page: [[Ebon Gate 2019 shop listing]]&lt;br /&gt;
#* &#039;&#039;&#039;Pro Tip:&#039;&#039;&#039; Keep the two pages open in your browser tabs for the duration&lt;br /&gt;
# The second rule of Ebon Gate: Prepare. Prepare. Prepare.&lt;br /&gt;
# The third rule of Ebon Gate: &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;tune TownCrier&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to pick up important breaking news&lt;br /&gt;
# The fourth rule: Give the wiki team a day or 10 to map and inventory every shop. If you&#039;d like it finished faster, study the [[Help:Festshop script]] page for the script and instructions about how YOU can painlessly help to document the festival via a great Lich script. In 2015, for instance, there were 141 shops! That&#039;s a great deal of work.&lt;br /&gt;
# The fifth rule: Use the FESTIVAL command in-game for a quick reference for General info, Schedule, locations, passes, no-passes, GHOUL, and more!&lt;br /&gt;
# The sixth rule: Stay on top of the news out of Ebon Gate. You&#039;ll find that on the TownCrier channel via Lich, or at the [http://gstowncrier.com TownCrier web site]. This year, there&#039;s even a sneak peek at Ebon Gate in a [http://townsquarecentral.libsyn.com/swole-eagle-jesus Town Square Central podcast], and you will not want to miss that!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Deep Sea Diving]] is usually the SimuCoin companion event to Ebon Gate. Like [[Delirium Manor]] it is available to everyone. You will need to purchase the ticket item/pass in the SimuCoin shop for dives. These are sold individually, and not part of the other Ebon Gate access passes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2018 was the first year for [[Ebon Gate 2018#Diving Competition|The Caligos Diving Competition]] event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Ebon Gate 2019/Treasure Trove|Treasure Trove]] will be at Ebon Gate for 2019. It was in a test run at [[Duskruin Arena/Treasure Trove Raffles August 2019|Duskruin, August 2019]] if you want an idea of how that worked and what its rules were. Look for &#039;an eel-etched raffle token&#039; to use with the Treasure Trove Raffles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The storyline opens on the first for about a week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
QUEST TRANSPORT EBON will get you to Caligos Isle from every city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TICKET BALANCE will show you your various currency balances. For Ebon Gate, that&#039;s the seashells line.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Quest===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a smaller story-quest you can participate in/work on the rest of the month. There will be a quest-like progress item you collect and turn in. This earns a favor-like collection score for you that counts towards being able to qualify for the [[Ghezyte chelioboros bracelet]] upgrade for the year. If you missed previous years, you can do more of whatever the task is for the current year to catch up. Each year&#039;s favor requirement seems to double, so catching up may take some time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*2017: You turned in construction parts to complete the old temple on the top of the Isle&lt;br /&gt;
*2018: You found a thingie, took it to either the Warden or ??? to validate, depending on whether you want to fight against Ghezresh or have him win. Then they handed it back to you, changed, and you found a villager to give it to. Ghezresh lost this popular &#039;vote&#039; in 2018.&lt;br /&gt;
*2019: There are multiple different quest items, each unique to &amp;quot;Pro&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Anti&amp;quot; Gezresh community, see the Questing section further below for more details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Shopping and Merchants:==&lt;br /&gt;
There are [[Ebon Gate 2019 shop listing | so many shops]] at the Ebon Gate Festival; new scripts and items are often introduced at this festival. [[Ebon Gate 2019 | Previews and teasers]] trickle out for weeks before the event opens. Some of the shops have wares that are only available once a year during this time. There are multiple appearances by multiple merchants during the festival. Sometimes you may even see them simultaneously and you&#039;ll have to make a QUICK decision which merchant to find. The merchant appearances are often general services (GALD: [[Alter | &#039;&#039;&#039;G&#039;&#039;&#039;eneral &#039;&#039;&#039;A&#039;&#039;&#039;lterations]], [[Lightening | &#039;&#039;&#039;L&#039;&#039;&#039;ightening]], or [[Deepening | &#039;&#039;&#039;D&#039;&#039;&#039;eepening]]); sometimes only one or two of those things; sometimes unlockings only, or in addition. There could merchants who will provide custom tattoos, customize your features, and other special offerings. Some merchants might only work on their own things. Some merchants you dare not ever ask them to alter something they&#039;ve made, remember to read all the signs. Rare unlocking and services can sometimes be found during the festival time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Pro Tip:&#039;&#039;&#039; Remember to read all the signage. I am &#039;&#039;not responsible&#039;&#039; for your safety when you ask Kyrinthe for something in pink.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Schedule:&#039;&#039;&#039; Stay tuned to the main Ebon Gate page and to the TownCrier for details.

* &#039;&#039;&#039;The last week - Oct 26-31:&#039;&#039;&#039; Finish your diving, shopping, games, and whatever tasks the storyline arc/s require this year, the party will be over soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Games and Fun:==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* There are live games hosted by a GM. See the schedule under the FESTIVAL command within GemStone&lt;br /&gt;
** [[GHOUL]] Games (BINGO) are a favorite, there will be several of these&lt;br /&gt;
** Salvaged from the Sea - (scavenger hunt?)&lt;br /&gt;
** Search and Rescue - (Someone is lost?)&lt;br /&gt;
** Sing Me an Epitaph - Someone has died.  Twenty someones actually, but unfortunately we have nothing to mark on their gravestones or tell for their eulogies.  We will be enlisting the help of twenty of you to help us!  Each presenter will receive a paper detailing one grisly demise, and each player will have fifteen minutes to write a song commemorating the fallen.  Please keep presentations to three minutes or less.&lt;br /&gt;
** Storytelling - It&#039;s time to bring out your bone-chilling tales, creepy stories, and murder mysteries at this year&#039;s storytelling contest.  Presenters should keep their tale to five minutes or less.  Spectators are welcome, but beware: here in Feywrot Mire, things definitely go bump in the night!  Bring a torch and someone to protect you, as this night may prove to set your spine to tingling and your hair to standing on end.&lt;br /&gt;
** Anemone Anagrams - Anagram game, read/listen to the rules. It&#039;s a fav!&lt;br /&gt;
** Pick Your Poison - ??&lt;br /&gt;
** Entrail Toss - It&#039;s a food fight that takes on a whole new meaning as forty contestants battle one at a time to throw their food at a living target.  What?  A living, moving target?  That just makes it all the more fun!  See if you have good aim or are left in the dust in this game of hand-eye coordination!&lt;br /&gt;
** Costume Contest - Wear your best (or worst) costume attire and compete not only for prizes, but the envy of your friends!  This year&#039;s categories are Most Creative, Most Elegant, Scariest, Funniest, and Best Duo.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mini games: pick from fun little automated games of chance that run 24/7 during Ebon Gate. Win seashells and prizes. Keep collecting seashells for some exclusive shopping.&lt;br /&gt;
* Keep Eyes Open at this festival, all the time! You never know what&#039;s going to happen when.&lt;br /&gt;
* Raffles - there will be many raffles held during the merchant week. There were 72 raffles during the 2019 Merchant week. Stay tuned to the raffles with [http://gstowncrier.com/category/raffle/ Rovvi&#039;s Raffle Reports] and the TownCrier. &#039;&#039;&#039;Read.The.Signs.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Digging is a favorite every year. You buy your shovels for silvers, and dig around the beach for treasure boxes of tickets and/or loot!&lt;br /&gt;
* Fishing - In 2017/18 the Fishing game was open to all without a pass, but it did cost seashells to enter.&lt;br /&gt;

Read the details from the [http://forums.play.net/forums/GemStone%20IV/Paid%20Events:%20Adventures,%20Quests,%20and%20SimuCoins/Ebon%20Gate%20Festival/view/16110 opening announcement in 2018] at the Officials.&lt;br /&gt;
* Competition High Diving&lt;br /&gt;
* Mist Survivor - A Last Man Standing game down in the center of the Sea Caves area. Bring Friends. 1,000 silvers per person, requires game pass. Who will be the last adventurer standing in a multiplayer competition? It’s not on the map, but we’ve got directions! At the Northeastern Vantage of the main shops level, move into the cave mouth. Take the uneven path as if you were going to the Tidepools game (lich room 26529). But don’t go down! Look for a small dark cave, go in. There’s a minimum of 3 players. Bring all your friends and see who lasts the longest vs. the poisonous mists!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Questing:==&lt;br /&gt;
* There is a storyline opening the first week of Ebon Gate. As near as I can explain, you follow the hints to listen/watch for a small storyline that progresses night by night. Someone might need your help, there might be a mystery to solve. Many, many people will attend these, so be courteous of &#039;noise&#039; you may make. It usually continues through the rest of the month with whatever the long-term task is that needs to be done. Last year, there were two different sides, fighting for the outcome, in fact.&lt;br /&gt;
* In 2019, the Necropolis returned, reworked for Caligos Isle. You will find it off the trail in room 33 on the Caligos Map, then to the portal. Look for the [http://forum.gsplayers.com/showthread.php?92916 walk-through at the PC] from Mister Goat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Month-Long Favor Quest===&lt;br /&gt;
The favor quest for Caligos Island EG 2019 is a bit more involved than the previous year. Ghezresh looks to restore his temple on the island by rebuilding the tile work and making it grand once more. The villagers of the island seek to expand into the fishing village that was found in 2018 and are looking to build homes there. There are numerous different types of favor items, but only some can be used by one side or the other. It is not yet clear if it is a competition or not.&lt;br /&gt;
====Anti-Ghezresh====&lt;br /&gt;
This year marks the start of repopulating the area and to do so we need to build some homes. Most rooms in the fishing village area, the center of which is lich room number 27553, should have the following: a large rectangular hole in the ground and a pile of construction tools. The rectangular holes are foundations that need to be built. There appears to be multiple phases of construction as well, which will be detailed below as they are found. For now, the following items can be placed into the rectangular hole and provide 25 favor for EG:&lt;br /&gt;
*a tumbled grey stone&lt;br /&gt;
*a smooth grey boulder&lt;br /&gt;
*a waterproof sack of mortar&lt;br /&gt;
*a forged horseshoe nail &lt;br /&gt;
*a blocky pine beam &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These items, when placed in the hole, will incur some RT and provide 25 favor. You can find the fishing village by heading to the northern passage/slope and heading down the trail. Follow the path down and into the village. You will know you are in the right area by seeing luminous stones on the ground, protecting you from the mist.&lt;br /&gt;
Anti-Ghezresh forces can also deny the pro-Ghezresh forces favor by taking the following items to the Warden, who wanders around the High Plateau area (center of the island, up the vortex) and handing over items. They will be rewarded a few seashells for doing so. The following items can be denied:&lt;br /&gt;
*a tiny blue mosaic tile&lt;br /&gt;
*a waterproof bag of powdered lime&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Handing a building material to the Warden:&lt;br /&gt;
Pointing at your grey boulder, a scruffy-faced half-elven warden says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s just what we need up in the village.  You bring it up that way, and help those folks build a home.  It will go a long way, but if you aren&#039;t interested in in doing that, then, I could take it off your hands.  Just give it to me again.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Handing a tile to the warden:&lt;br /&gt;
Frowning, his brows knitting together on his forehead, a scruffy-faced half-elven warden says, &amp;quot;Well, that can&#039;t be good.  I don&#039;t know what our little Olienne is up to this time, but I can guarantee it isn&#039;t good.&amp;quot;  Scratching at his head in thought, he says, &amp;quot;Why don&#039;t you give it to me again and I can take it off your hands?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Second time:&lt;br /&gt;
A scruffy-faced half-elven warden accepts a tiny blue mosaic tile from you, quietly saying, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s make sure no one else can use this.&amp;quot;  He tosses it up to a lion-maned shaggy Caligos eagle, who catches it in her claws and soars away with it.  Smirking, he turns back to you and says, &amp;quot;Here you are for your troubles.&amp;quot;  As he hands you some coins, a lion-maned shaggy Caligos eagle flies in with empty talons and a triumphant cry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Pro-Ghezresh====&lt;br /&gt;
Ghezresh followers and supporters will find their task for 2019 is to build a Ghezresh temple. There are two items that are currently known to provide favor for Ghezresh supports that can be turned in by heading through a secret passage from EG to Zul Logoth. Head down to the sea caves playground and SEARCH for a tear in the atmosphere. By entering the tear you will be transported to a temple under construction. Head through the fracture in the wall and you will find a frame for setting your tiles in. PUT TILE IN FRAME to add to the mosaic. Waterproof bags of lime can also be put into a hole in the Chamber of the Dark, lich room number 26070 after heading through the tear in the atmosphere. This is a long journey and has a lot of RT when you move between rooms. The following two items provide 25 favor and assist Ghezresh:&lt;br /&gt;
*a tiny blue mosaic tile&lt;br /&gt;
*a waterproof bag of powdered lime&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pro-Ghezresh forces can also deny anti-Ghezresh items by taking them to the Ezreshi and giving them to her twice. The following items will get you a handful of seashells and deny the favor item when handed to the Ezreshi:&lt;br /&gt;
*a tumbled grey stone&lt;br /&gt;
*a smooth grey boulder&lt;br /&gt;
*a waterproof sack of mortar&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is possible that the stones and boulders can be placed into the rectangular hole in the Chamber of The Dark. This needs to be confirmed and updated by a Pro-Ghezresh player.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a waterproof bag of powdered lime, when offered to the Lithe Indigo-robed Ezreshi&lt;br /&gt;
Grinning in a dreamy fashion, a lithe indigo-robed Ezreshi says, &amp;quot;You must bring it to the city under the mountain.  If you build it high enough, then He will be free.  You may need to SEARCH nearby to find the road, and once you are there, you may need to climb some stairs, but if you find the frame or the hole, the plinth or the monolith, then all will be ready for Him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Special Features:==&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[PERM-ifier]] - look for the obelisks to turn your favorite perfume, cologne, or other &amp;quot;fluffy&amp;quot; item that uses up doses into a bottomless one. One obelisk takes tickets, one takes seashells.&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[fusion]] shaman is expected in 2019.&lt;br /&gt;
* GMs usually offer extra GALD sessions with &amp;quot;fish-hooking&amp;quot;. That&#039;s when some little trinket suddenly appears out of thin air where you are standing. It will wiggle around a few times, and you should GET the item as soon as possible. They do not tarry long. The first person to grab it is transported to where a GM is working, and PRESTO! You&#039;ve got an alteration session!&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Ebon Gate auto flarer|The Auto-Flarer]] uses tokens found in games to put flares on your weapons&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Getting Ready for The Festival:==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===General Tips===&lt;br /&gt;
* Japhrimel&#039;s interview, [[Hacking Merchant Week with Japhrimel]], is a collection of amazing information and tips he learned from previous Ebon Gate Festivals. It&#039;s worth a read, and a re-read every year. Japhrimel is an Ebon Gate Pro. He has this down to a science.&lt;br /&gt;
* Consolidate your shopping money in the bank of the city you&#039;ll be attending from. The Ebon Gate bank draws from the city you enter from.&lt;br /&gt;
* Consolidate the gear/items you want worked on in the locker of the city you will be attending from. It&#039;ll be closer when you need it. Or carry them around with you.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Pro Tip:&#039;&#039;&#039; Keep an eye out on SERVICE SHOW for Merchants. They’ll appear in Monsterbold, so they will stick out a bit. A few merchants do not announce, but use this method.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Pro Tip:&#039;&#039;&#039; Stay tuned to GS Twitter - they might not use it for much of anything else, but they do sometimes use it for the pay Festivals. Just read the fine print since they mix plat and prime stuff up on the same channel (Don’t get me started about that…)&lt;br /&gt;
* Remember that you can now use [[ANALYZE]] on most things for sale in shops at a festival and [[INSPECT]] got a lot better in 2019.&lt;br /&gt;
* Unsure about the properties of something you have? Or something you buy at the Festival? Ask a bard to listen to the item sing. Look for one on SERVICE SHOW&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Inventory Management===&lt;br /&gt;
* Have a Festival-specific large container you can drag around with you for all the things you want worked on by Merchants. You can quickly exchange it with the one in your locker of your usual stuff for a fast hunt or 6. (Lumnis happens whether Ebon Gate is open or not, after all.)&lt;br /&gt;
* Gather all the special materials you need for the alterations you want. Keep them in your Merchant Bag.&lt;br /&gt;
* Bring a standing cane for those times you are too loaded down and need to get back up. And they &#039;&#039;&#039;will&#039;&#039;&#039; happen, sometimes carrying your full merchant bag around, sometimes trying to get to a merchant or a raffle with all the silvers in your pocket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lich Preparations===&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;traffle&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to keep track of ALL the raffles that are about to happen. use the command alone at a raffle table to register it - then use the &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;traffle list&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; command anywhere for a list of upcoming raffles. It does NOT keep track of whether you bought the ticket or not, and does not notify you since the raffles usually do.&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;wishlist&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to start your window shopping. Look in lich/logs/wishlist.log for the saved list of what you noted; the room number and shop room name appears with the text you add:  EX: &amp;gt; &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;wishlist I think I really need the slim dark blue pants. They have pockets and are scripted with the flashy pants script&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;itemnotes&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to track your gear, and consider using it to make notes about your alteration and ideas, too&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;tdig.ic&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;egdigger.lic&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; or &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;digger.lic&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; - it might help with the repetitive digging tasks. Be patient, the scripts may need to be updated for the new year!&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;tgames.ic&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; for those mini games action&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: Download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;roomorder&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to make just a little clearer sense of where you are in line. It tells you what GAZE LINE should.&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: Download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;testme&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to do zest tests and more. Be sure you read the script for the options! When I say more, really, it&#039;s pretty feature laden.&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: Consider &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;prettiernum&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to make all those long numbers more readable with commas. DISCLAIMER: You may need to turn it off for some other scripts to work.&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: Download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;whatis&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to help you with abbreviations, initials, and all that special LINGO&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: Download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;multi&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; for bulk purchase needs.&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: Download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;foreach&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; for general help with finding thing, transferring them, and more.&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: Download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;survey&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to find all the things in a room and look in/on/etc them.&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: Download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;invdb&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to help you track which locker/character has what things. Remember to update it after purchasing things!&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;tune towncrier&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; for both the Ebon Gate headlines and announcements from the festival grounds of events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Your Front End Prep===&lt;br /&gt;
Whether it is Stormfront, Avalon, Wizard, Profanity, or something else, they can very likely make some things easier for you!&lt;br /&gt;
* Color code merchant names in unique highlighting color/s so you don’t walk right by one. (Been there, done that, missed the service…)&lt;br /&gt;
* Make sure your links are turned on in Stormfront so that those nested containers and rooms full of similar containers are easy to use by just clicking. ALT L toggles this in Windows. On a Mac, look for it in the Options button under advanced.&lt;br /&gt;
* SET DESC ON so you miss nothing in rooms&lt;br /&gt;
* Turn on logging in case you forget/lose/find a bug.  &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;log&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; works great&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Reference Lists===&lt;br /&gt;
* Create lists of what you need worked on and keep the lists open in your text editor. Update this when you buy stuff at the fest!&lt;br /&gt;
** Make a list of what needs unlocking, the name of the script/merchant, and it’s current status - as well as it’s max status. Not all unlocking lingo is the same, this sometimes takes a trip to the wiki to unravel. As always, keep the items on you.&lt;br /&gt;
** Have a list of items you want altered with several different versions of alterations for that item. Just in case one gets turned down, you have options to fall back on. via  Cleric of Ta’Vaalor on Twitter&lt;br /&gt;
** Put more things on your list of alterations than you think you need. Did I mention already that there are &#039;&#039;so many merchants at Ebon Gate?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
** Make a list of what needs lightening. And keep the items with you. &#039;&#039;Seconds count&#039;&#039; at a Merchant appearance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Make a list of what needs deepening, and keep the containers with you.&lt;br /&gt;
** keep a list in notepad or something of what items you buy in what store and what the merchant is so when the merchant pops in, you know what item to grab. I use &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;itemnotes&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As you buy things at the festival keep notes about what NEW things will need to be unlocked while the merchant/s are at the festival. (Or Lightened or Deepened)&lt;br /&gt;
* Use the [http://www.fenogs.com/fashion.html Gownifier] when you need alteration ideas - even when it is not for a gown. This is a brilliant web page from Fenog&#039;s Regulars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===General Tips===&lt;br /&gt;
* Use the first week to figure out who each shop&#039;s merchant is (if there is any signage) so you&#039;ll know if a merchant announcement mentions the shop you are interested by merchant name only. It can happen either way.&lt;br /&gt;
* Remember that ;go2 probably knows the shop you are looking for by name:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;  ;go2 fantabulous&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; then &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;  ;send&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; the number on the list that matches if you get a list.&lt;br /&gt;
* TIP For Raffles: look at the ticket carefully AND read the sign on the raffle table. This will tell you if you need to be present in the room when the raffle draws or just in the game somewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
* Second Raffle suggestion:  use &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;traffle list&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to help you list out the raffles even when you are nowhere near that one table you really can&#039;t remember the time on.&lt;br /&gt;
* Third Raffle lifesaver: &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;tune TownCrier&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to listen for Raffle Reminders&lt;br /&gt;
* Do your general shopping before Merchant Week so you never miss a merchant or forget to buy something after the Merchants and Games wear you out&lt;br /&gt;
* Not sure what a new item you bought does? Ask a bard to sing to it. Wonder about that THING you won, you dug up, or you found Deep Sea Diving? Ask a bard!&lt;br /&gt;
* Read.All.The.Signage at shops, merchants, raffles, and games.&lt;br /&gt;
* Talk to the NPC island residents&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The LINGO===&lt;br /&gt;
* New to GemStone and/or Ebon Gate? There&#039;s a rash of lingo that&#039;s about to be thrown at you. &lt;br /&gt;
** [[GALD]] or General Merchant Services means: [[alteration|General Alteration]], [[Lightening]], or [[Deepening]]. &lt;br /&gt;
** the [[Analyze|ANALYZE]] command will give you overall altering info and unlock status about most items. &lt;br /&gt;
** Familiarize yourself with the rules under the [[ Alter|ALTER]] verb, too.&lt;br /&gt;
** EG is how everyone will abbreviate the event, both in and out of character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Merchants===&lt;br /&gt;
* READ ALL THE SIGNS near a merchant. Some of the shops will have the signs up even if the merchant is not working right then. (Don&#039;t be the one asking for a pink thing from Kyrinthe!) &#039;&#039;&#039;Read all the signs.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Become familiar with alteration rules if you&#039;re going to have that type of work done. The command [[ALTER]] in GemStone goes over lots of what you need to know in great detail. Ask for help if you need on LNet, and if alterations are just NOT one of your life-skills, never fret about asking the merchant for help. Give the merchant an idea of what you want, maybe why you want it in some circumstances, and then give them your trust.&lt;br /&gt;
* Use the wiki to plan your shopping!&lt;br /&gt;
* Merchants will pick various methods to determine what order, or how many people they will be able to help.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;An Ebon Gate Primer&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Introduction==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ebon Gate 2018 | Ebon Gate]] is a huge, multi-faceted annual Festival Event in GemStone. The 2017 Ebon Gate was the first time it took place the entire month of October, which continued in 2018, and the format is back for 2019. This is a large SimuCoin event at a venue outside of the regularly accessible areas of GemStoneIV. You can buy the SimuCoin pass for just the kind of activities you wish to attend: Shopping, or Merchants/Services/Raffles, or Digging and games (by the week). There is no cut off date for the passes - they are sold up to the last day, and there is no maximum number of attendees. Everyone can come. Anyone will be able to access the Festival Grounds at Caligos Isle without purchasing anything at all. Doing things ... that&#039;s going to require the appropriate SimuCoin item.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# The first rule of Ebon Gate: Bookmark the wiki page and the shopping page. It saves you time later. They will be regularly updated with new Ebon Gate information as it becomes available.  The wiki team has already created the pages, and will update them with new info. (Also - check with the wiki team and find out if you can help with the documentation of the Festival. There&#039;s a Lich script that does a lot the heavy lifting for you.)&lt;br /&gt;
#* Main Info Page: [[Ebon Gate 2019]]&lt;br /&gt;
#* Shops&#039; Inventory Page: [[Ebon Gate 2019 shop listing]]&lt;br /&gt;
#* &#039;&#039;&#039;Pro Tip:&#039;&#039;&#039; Keep the two pages open in your browser tabs for the duration&lt;br /&gt;
# The second rule of Ebon Gate: Prepare. Prepare. Prepare.&lt;br /&gt;
# The third rule of Ebon Gate: &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;tune TownCrier&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to pick up important breaking news&lt;br /&gt;
# The fourth rule: Give the wiki team a day or 10 to map and inventory every shop. If you&#039;d like it finished faster, study the [[Help:Festshop script]] page for the script and instructions about how YOU can painlessly help to document the festival via a great Lich script. In 2015, for instance, there were 141 shops! That&#039;s a great deal of work.&lt;br /&gt;
# The fifth rule: Use the FESTIVAL command in-game for a quick reference for General info, Schedule, locations, passes, no-passes, GHOUL, and more!&lt;br /&gt;
# The sixth rule: Stay on top of the news out of Ebon Gate. You&#039;ll find that on the TownCrier channel via Lich, or at the [http://gstowncrier.com TownCrier web site]. This year, there&#039;s even a sneak peek at Ebon Gate in a [http://townsquarecentral.libsyn.com/swole-eagle-jesus Town Square Central podcast], and you will not want to miss that!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Deep Sea Diving]] is usually the SimuCoin companion event to Ebon Gate. Like [[Delirium Manor]] it is available to everyone. You will need to purchase the ticket item/pass in the SimuCoin shop for dives. These are sold individually, and not part of the other Ebon Gate access passes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2018 was the first year for [[Ebon Gate 2018#Diving Competition|The Caligos Diving Competition]] event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Ebon Gate 2019/Treasure Trove|Treasure Trove]] will be at Ebon Gate for 2019. It was in a test run at [[Duskruin Arena/Treasure Trove Raffles August 2019|Duskruin, August 2019]] if you want an idea of how that worked and what its rules were. Look for &#039;an eel-etched raffle token&#039; to use with the Treasure Trove Raffles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The storyline opens on the first for about a week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
QUEST TRANSPORT EBON will get you to Caligos Isle from every city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TICKET BALANCE will show you your various currency balances. For Ebon Gate, that&#039;s the seashells line.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Quest===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a smaller story-quest you can participate in/work on the rest of the month. There will be a quest-like progress item you collect and turn in. This earns a favor-like collection score for you that counts towards being able to qualify for the [[Ghezyte chelioboros bracelet]] upgrade for the year. If you missed previous years, you can do more of whatever the task is for the current year to catch up. Each year&#039;s favor requirement seems to double, so catching up may take some time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*2017: You turned in construction parts to complete the old temple on the top of the Isle&lt;br /&gt;
*2018: You found a thingie, took it to either the Warden or ??? to validate, depending on whether you want to fight against Ghezresh or have him win. Then they handed it back to you, changed, and you found a villager to give it to. Ghezresh lost this popular &#039;vote&#039; in 2018.&lt;br /&gt;
*2019: There are multiple different quest items, each unique to &amp;quot;Pro&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Anti&amp;quot; Gezresh community, see the Questing section further below for more details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Shopping and Merchants:==&lt;br /&gt;
There are [[Ebon Gate 2019 shop listing | so many shops]] at the Ebon Gate Festival; new scripts and items are often introduced at this festival. [[Ebon Gate 2019 | Previews and teasers]] trickle out for weeks before the event opens. Some of the shops have wares that are only available once a year during this time. There are multiple appearances by multiple merchants during the festival. Sometimes you may even see them simultaneously and you&#039;ll have to make a QUICK decision which merchant to find. The merchant appearances are often general services (GALD: [[Alter | &#039;&#039;&#039;G&#039;&#039;&#039;eneral &#039;&#039;&#039;A&#039;&#039;&#039;lterations]], [[Lightening | &#039;&#039;&#039;L&#039;&#039;&#039;ightening]], or [[Deepening | &#039;&#039;&#039;D&#039;&#039;&#039;eepening]]); sometimes only one or two of those things; sometimes unlockings only, or in addition. There could merchants who will provide custom tattoos, customize your features, and other special offerings. Some merchants might only work on their own things. Some merchants you dare not ever ask them to alter something they&#039;ve made, remember to read all the signs. Rare unlocking and services can sometimes be found during the festival time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Pro Tip:&#039;&#039;&#039; Remember to read all the signage. I am &#039;&#039;not responsible&#039;&#039; for your safety when you ask Kyrinthe for something in pink.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Schedule:&#039;&#039;&#039; Stay tuned to the main Ebon Gate page and to the TownCrier for details.

* &#039;&#039;&#039;The last week - Oct 26-31:&#039;&#039;&#039; Finish your diving, shopping, games, and whatever tasks the storyline arc/s require this year, the party will be over soon.&lt;br /&gt;

Please keep presentations to three minutes or less.&lt;br /&gt;
** Storytelling - It&#039;s time to bring out your bone-chilling tales, creepy stories, and murder mysteries at this year&#039;s storytelling contest.  Presenters should keep their tale to five minutes or less.  Spectators are welcome, but beware: here in Feywrot Mire, things definitely go bump in the night!  Bring a torch and someone to protect you, as this night may prove to set your spine to tingling and your hair to standing on end.&lt;br /&gt;
** Anemone Anagrams - Anagram game, read/listen to the rules. It&#039;s a fav!&lt;br /&gt;
** Pick Your Poison - ??&lt;br /&gt;
** Entrail Toss - It&#039;s a food fight that takes on a whole new meaning as forty contestants battle one at a time to throw their food at a living target.  What?  A living, moving target?  That just makes it all the more fun!  See if you have good aim or are left in the dust in this game of hand-eye coordination!&lt;br /&gt;

Take the uneven path as if you were going to the Tidepools game (lich room 26529). But don’t go down! Look for a small dark cave, go in. There’s a minimum of 3 players. Bring all your friends and see who lasts the longest vs. the poisonous mists!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Questing:==&lt;br /&gt;
* There is a storyline opening the first week of Ebon Gate. As near as I can explain, you follow the hints to listen/watch for a small storyline that progresses night by night. Someone might need your help, there might be a mystery to solve. Many, many people will attend these, so be courteous of &#039;noise&#039; you may make. It usually continues through the rest of the month with whatever the long-term task is that needs to be done. Last year, there were two different sides, fighting for the outcome, in fact.&lt;br /&gt;
* In 2019, the Necropolis returned, reworked for Caligos Isle. You will find it off the trail in room 33 on the Caligos Map, then to the portal. Look for the [http://forum.gsplayers.com/showthread.php?92916 walk-through at the PC] from Mister Goat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Month-Long Favor Quest===&lt;br /&gt;
The favor quest for Caligos Island EG 2019 is a bit more involved than the previous year. Ghezresh looks to restore his temple on the island by rebuilding the tile work and making it grand once more. The villagers of the island seek to expand into the fishing village that was found in 2018 and are looking to build homes there. There are numerous different types of favor items, but only some can be used by one side or the other. It is not yet clear if it is a competition or not.&lt;br /&gt;
====Anti-Ghezresh====&lt;br /&gt;
This year marks the start of repopulating the area and to do so we need to build some homes. Most rooms in the fishing village area, the center of which is lich room number 27553, should have the following: a large rectangular hole in the ground and a pile of construction tools. The rectangular holes are foundations that need to be built. There appears to be multiple phases of construction as well, which will be detailed below as they are found. For now, the following items can be placed into the rectangular hole and provide 25 favor for EG:&lt;br /&gt;
*a tumbled grey stone&lt;br /&gt;
*a smooth grey boulder&lt;br /&gt;
*a waterproof sack of mortar&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These items, when placed in the hole, will incur some RT and provide 25 favor. You can find the fishing village by heading to the northern passage/slope and heading down the trail. Follow the path down and into the village. You will know you are in the right area by seeing luminous stones on the ground, protecting you from the mist.&lt;br /&gt;
Anti-Ghezresh forces can also deny the pro-Ghezresh forces favor by taking the following items to the Warden, who wanders around the High Plateau area (center of the island, up the vortex) and handing over items. They will be rewarded a few seashells for doing so. The following items can be denied:&lt;br /&gt;
*a tiny blue mosaic tile&lt;br /&gt;
*a waterproof bag of powdered lime&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Handing a building material to the Warden:&lt;br /&gt;
Pointing at your grey boulder, a scruffy-faced half-elven warden says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s just what we need up in the village.  You bring it up that way, and help those folks build a home.  It will go a long way, but if you aren&#039;t interested in in doing that, then, I could take it off your hands.  Just give it to me again.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Handing a tile to the warden:&lt;br /&gt;
Frowning, his brows knitting together on his forehead, a scruffy-faced half-elven warden says, &amp;quot;Well, that can&#039;t be good.  I don&#039;t know what our little Olienne is up to this time, but I can guarantee it isn&#039;t good.&amp;quot;  Scratching at his head in thought, he says, &amp;quot;Why don&#039;t you give it to me again and I can take it off your hands?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Second time:&lt;br /&gt;
A scruffy-faced half-elven warden accepts a tiny blue mosaic tile from you, quietly saying, &amp;quot;Let&#039;s make sure no one else can use this.&amp;quot;  He tosses it up to a lion-maned shaggy Caligos eagle, who catches it in her claws and soars away with it.  Smirking, he turns back to you and says, &amp;quot;Here you are for your troubles.&amp;quot;  As he hands you some coins, a lion-maned shaggy Caligos eagle flies in with empty talons and a triumphant cry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Pro-Ghezresh====&lt;br /&gt;
Ghezresh followers and supporters will find their task for 2019 is to build a Ghezresh temple. There are two items that are currently known to provide favor for Ghezresh supports that can be turned in by heading through a secret passage from EG to Zul Logoth. Head down to the sea caves playground and SEARCH for a tear in the atmosphere. By entering the tear you will be transported to a temple under construction. Head through the fracture in the wall and you will find a frame for setting your tiles in. PUT TILE IN FRAME to add to the mosaic. Waterproof bags of lime can also be put into a hole in the Chamber of the Dark, lich room number 26070 after heading through the tear in the atmosphere. This is a long journey and has a lot of RT when you move between rooms. The following two items provide 25 favor and assist Ghezresh:&lt;br /&gt;
*a tiny blue mosaic tile&lt;br /&gt;
*a waterproof bag of powdered lime&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pro-Ghezresh forces can also deny anti-Ghezresh items by taking them to the Ezreshi and giving them to her twice. The following items will get you a handful of seashells and deny the favor item when handed to the Ezreshi:&lt;br /&gt;
*a tumbled grey stone&lt;br /&gt;
*a smooth grey boulder&lt;br /&gt;
*a waterproof sack of mortar&lt;br /&gt;
*a forged horseshoe nail &lt;br /&gt;
*a blocky pine beam &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is possible that the stones and boulders can be placed into the rectangular hole in the Chamber of The Dark. This needs to be confirmed and updated by a Pro-Ghezresh player.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a waterproof bag of powdered lime, when offered to the Lithe Indigo-robed Ezreshi&lt;br /&gt;
Grinning in a dreamy fashion, a lithe indigo-robed Ezreshi says, &amp;quot;You must bring it to the city under the mountain.  If you build it high enough, then He will be free.  You may need to SEARCH nearby to find the road, and once you are there, you may need to climb some stairs, but if you find the frame or the hole, the plinth or the monolith, then all will be ready for Him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Special Features:==&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[PERM-ifier]] - look for the obelisks to turn your favorite perfume, cologne, or other &amp;quot;fluffy&amp;quot; item that uses up doses into a bottomless one. One obelisk takes tickets, one takes seashells.&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[fusion]] shaman is expected in 2019.&lt;br /&gt;
* GMs usually offer extra GALD sessions with &amp;quot;fish-hooking&amp;quot;. That&#039;s when some little trinket suddenly appears out of thin air where you are standing. It will wiggle around a few times, and you should GET the item as soon as possible. They do not tarry long. The first person to grab it is transported to where a GM is working, and PRESTO! You&#039;ve got an alteration session!&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Ebon Gate auto flarer|The Auto-Flarer]] uses tokens found in games to put flares on your weapons&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Getting Ready for The Festival:==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===General Tips===&lt;br /&gt;
* Japhrimel&#039;s interview, [[Hacking Merchant Week with Japhrimel]], is a collection of amazing information and tips he learned from previous Ebon Gate Festivals. It&#039;s worth a read, and a re-read every year. Japhrimel is an Ebon Gate Pro. He has this down to a science.&lt;br /&gt;
* Consolidate your shopping money in the bank of the city you&#039;ll be attending from. The Ebon Gate bank draws from the city you enter from.&lt;br /&gt;
* Consolidate the gear/items you want worked on in the locker of the city you will be attending from. It&#039;ll be closer when you need it. Or carry them around with you.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Pro Tip:&#039;&#039;&#039; Keep an eye out on SERVICE SHOW for Merchants. They’ll appear in Monsterbold, so they will stick out a bit. A few merchants do not announce, but use this method.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Pro Tip:&#039;&#039;&#039; Stay tuned to GS Twitter - they might not use it for much of anything else, but they do sometimes use it for the pay Festivals. Just read the fine print since they mix plat and prime stuff up on the same channel (Don’t get me started about that…)&lt;br /&gt;
* Remember that you can now use [[ANALYZE]] on most things for sale in shops at a festival and [[INSPECT]] got a lot better in 2019.&lt;br /&gt;
* Unsure about the properties of something you have? Or something you buy at the Festival? Ask a bard to listen to the item sing. Look for one on SERVICE SHOW&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Inventory Management===&lt;br /&gt;
* Have a Festival-specific large container you can drag around with you for all the things you want worked on by Merchants. You can quickly exchange it with the one in your locker of your usual stuff for a fast hunt or 6. (Lumnis happens whether Ebon Gate is open or not, after all.)&lt;br /&gt;
* Gather all the special materials you need for the alterations you want. Keep them in your Merchant Bag.&lt;br /&gt;
* Bring a standing cane for those times you are too loaded down and need to get back up. And they &#039;&#039;&#039;will&#039;&#039;&#039; happen, sometimes carrying your full merchant bag around, sometimes trying to get to a merchant or a raffle with all the silvers in your pocket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lich Preparations===&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;traffle&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to keep track of ALL the raffles that are about to happen. use the command alone at a raffle table to register it - then use the &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;traffle list&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; command anywhere for a list of upcoming raffles. It does NOT keep track of whether you bought the ticket or not, and does not notify you since the raffles usually do.&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;wishlist&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to start your window shopping. Look in lich/logs/wishlist.log for the saved list of what you noted; the room number and shop room name appears with the text you add:  EX: &amp;gt; &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;wishlist I think I really need the slim dark blue pants. They have pockets and are scripted with the flashy pants script&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;itemnotes&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to track your gear, and consider using it to make notes about your alteration and ideas, too&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;tdig.ic&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;egdigger.lic&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; or &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;digger.lic&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; - it might help with the repetitive digging tasks. Be patient, the scripts may need to be updated for the new year!&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;tgames.ic&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; for those mini games action&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: Download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;roomorder&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to make just a little clearer sense of where you are in line. It tells you what GAZE LINE should.&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: Download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;testme&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to do zest tests and more. Be sure you read the script for the options! When I say more, really, it&#039;s pretty feature laden.&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: Consider &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;prettiernum&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to make all those long numbers more readable with commas. DISCLAIMER: You may need to turn it off for some other scripts to work.&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: Download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;whatis&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to help you with abbreviations, initials, and all that special LINGO&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: Download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;multi&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; for bulk purchase needs.&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: Download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;foreach&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; for general help with finding thing, transferring them, and more.&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: Download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;survey&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to find all the things in a room and look in/on/etc them.&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: Download &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;invdb&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to help you track which locker/character has what things. Remember to update it after purchasing things!&lt;br /&gt;
* LICH: &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;tune towncrier&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; for both the Ebon Gate headlines and announcements from the festival grounds of events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Your Front End Prep===&lt;br /&gt;
Whether it is Stormfront, Avalon, Wizard, Profanity, or something else, they can very likely make some things easier for you!&lt;br /&gt;
* Color code merchant names in unique highlighting color/s so you don’t walk right by one. (Been there, done that, missed the service…)&lt;br /&gt;
* Make sure your links are turned on in Stormfront so that those nested containers and rooms full of similar containers are easy to use by just clicking. ALT L toggles this in Windows. On a Mac, look for it in the Options button under advanced.&lt;br /&gt;
* SET DESC ON so you miss nothing in rooms&lt;br /&gt;
* Turn on logging in case you forget/lose/find a bug.  &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;log&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; works great&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Reference Lists===&lt;br /&gt;
* Create lists of what you need worked on and keep the lists open in your text editor. Update this when you buy stuff at the fest!&lt;br /&gt;
** Make a list of what needs unlocking, the name of the script/merchant, and it’s current status - as well as it’s max status. Not all unlocking lingo is the same, this sometimes takes a trip to the wiki to unravel. As always, keep the items on you.&lt;br /&gt;
** Have a list of items you want altered with several different versions of alterations for that item. Just in case one gets turned down, you have options to fall back on. via  Cleric of Ta’Vaalor on Twitter&lt;br /&gt;
** Put more things on your list of alterations than you think you need. Did I mention already that there are &#039;&#039;so many merchants at Ebon Gate?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
** Make a list of what needs lightening. And keep the items with you. &#039;&#039;Seconds count&#039;&#039; at a Merchant appearance.&lt;br /&gt;
** Make a list of what needs deepening, and keep the containers with you.&lt;br /&gt;
** keep a list in notepad or something of what items you buy in what store and what the merchant is so when the merchant pops in, you know what item to grab. I use &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;itemnotes&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* As you buy things at the festival keep notes about what NEW things will need to be unlocked while the merchant/s are at the festival. (Or Lightened or Deepened)&lt;br /&gt;
* Use the [http://www.fenogs.com/fashion.html Gownifier] when you need alteration ideas - even when it is not for a gown. This is a brilliant web page from Fenog&#039;s Regulars.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===General Tips===&lt;br /&gt;
* Use the first week to figure out who each shop&#039;s merchant is (if there is any signage) so you&#039;ll know if a merchant announcement mentions the shop you are interested by merchant name only. It can happen either way.&lt;br /&gt;
* Remember that ;go2 probably knows the shop you are looking for by name:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;  ;go2 fantabulous&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; then &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;  ;send&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; the number on the list that matches if you get a list.&lt;br /&gt;
* TIP For Raffles: look at the ticket carefully AND read the sign on the raffle table. This will tell you if you need to be present in the room when the raffle draws or just in the game somewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
* Second Raffle suggestion:  use &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;traffle list&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to help you list out the raffles even when you are nowhere near that one table you really can&#039;t remember the time on.&lt;br /&gt;
* Third Raffle lifesaver: &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;;tune TownCrier&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to listen for Raffle Reminders&lt;br /&gt;
* Do your general shopping before Merchant Week so you never miss a merchant or forget to buy something after the Merchants and Games wear you out&lt;br /&gt;
* Not sure what a new item you bought does? Ask a bard to sing to it. Wonder about that THING you won, you dug up, or you found Deep Sea Diving? Ask a bard!&lt;br /&gt;
* Read.All.The.Signage at shops, merchants, raffles, and games.&lt;br /&gt;
* Talk to the NPC island residents&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The LINGO===&lt;br /&gt;
* New to GemStone and/or Ebon Gate? There&#039;s a rash of lingo that&#039;s about to be thrown at you. &lt;br /&gt;
** [[GALD]] or General Merchant Services means: [[alteration|General Alteration]], [[Lightening]], or [[Deepening]]. &lt;br /&gt;
** the [[Analyze|ANALYZE]] command will give you overall altering info and unlock status about most items. &lt;br /&gt;
** Familiarize yourself with the rules under the [[ Alter|ALTER]] verb, too.&lt;br /&gt;
** EG is how everyone will abbreviate the event, both in and out of character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Merchants===&lt;br /&gt;
* READ ALL THE SIGNS near a merchant. Some of the shops will have the signs up even if the merchant is not working right then. (Don&#039;t be the one asking for a pink thing from Kyrinthe!) &#039;&#039;&#039;Read all the signs.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Become familiar with alteration rules if you&#039;re going to have that type of work done. The command [[ALTER]] in GemStone goes over lots of what you need to know in great detail. Ask for help if you need on LNet, and if alterations are just NOT one of your life-skills, never fret about asking the merchant for help. Give the merchant an idea of what you want, maybe why you want it in some circumstances, and then give them your trust.&lt;br /&gt;
* Use the wiki to plan your shopping!&lt;br /&gt;
* Merchants will pick various methods to determine what order, or how many people they will be able to help.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;&#039;Artist Notes:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
::&#039;&#039;This is a portrait of the Argent Mirror, [[Myasara Illistim]], taking a moment alone in the morning, away from the court and away from the practiced formality that&#039;s so often demanded of her.  A dried black rose is tucked away in the pages of her book, the symbol of Laethe and a reminder of her lost love - Caylio.  She allows her mind to wander away from her reading, thinking of him while watching the airships dock in the distance and breathing in the scent of the fresh mournblooms..&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&#039;&#039;This was digitally painted in Adobe Photoshop on top of a pencil sketch, with some additional work done in Adobe Illustrator.  As a final point of trivia: there are 17 peacock feathers hiding in this portrait.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

::&#039;&#039;While I enjoy digital illustration periodically, metal is my primary medium.  As such, I chose to create an elven geldaralad out of woven wire and maille.  A mixture of fine silver and anodized niobium is my approximation of the pearly white and rainbow sheen of vaalin.  The pattern I chose for the suspending chain is a variant of a simple spiral weave, intended to capture both the required &#039;twisted&#039; nature of the chain in order to be a proper elven geldaralad, as well as present an open and airy aesthetic that would allow me to marry the white silver and rainbow niobium together in such a way that neither became too dominant.  Finally, the &amp;quot;feystones&amp;quot; are Swarovski crystal.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

::&#039;&#039;The colored pencil portrait entitled &amp;quot;The Look&amp;quot; depicts a young elven girl who&#039;s daydreams have been interrupted. She is casually dressed in a lavender spider silk tunic and seated near sun lit window in a castle tower. Her hand is gracefully held where her chin recently rested. Her long brunette hair has been swept up into a loose bun, with sunlight causing several stray strands to seemly glow with radiance. She seems to gaze directly at you, her head lightly cocked, one eye slightly quirked and lips pursed as if to say, &amp;quot;Don&#039;t you dare draw me&amp;quot;. &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

::&#039;&#039;This is a portrait of the Argent Mirror, [[Myasara Illistim]], taking a moment alone in the morning, away from the court and away from the practiced formality that&#039;s so often demanded of her.  A dried black rose is tucked away in the pages of her book, the symbol of Laethe and a reminder of her lost love - Caylio.  She allows her mind to wander away from her reading, thinking of him while watching the airships dock in the distance and breathing in the scent of the fresh mournblooms..&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&#039;&#039;This was digitally painted in Adobe Photoshop on top of a pencil sketch, with some additional work done in Adobe Illustrator.  As a final point of trivia: there are 17 peacock feathers hiding in this portrait.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

::&#039;&#039;While I enjoy digital illustration periodically, metal is my primary medium.  As such, I chose to create an elven geldaralad out of woven wire and maille.  A mixture of fine silver and anodized niobium is my approximation of the pearly white and rainbow sheen of vaalin.  The pattern I chose for the suspending chain is a variant of a simple spiral weave, intended to capture both the required &#039;twisted&#039; nature of the chain in order to be a proper elven geldaralad, as well as present an open and airy aesthetic that would allow me to marry the white silver and rainbow niobium together in such a way that neither became too dominant.  Finally, the &amp;quot;feystones&amp;quot; are Swarovski crystal.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;&#039;Artist Notes:&lt;br /&gt;
The colored pencil portrait entitled &amp;quot;The Look&amp;quot; depicts a young elven girl who&#039;s daydreams have been interrupted. She is casually dressed in a lavender spider silk tunic and seated near sun lit window in a castle tower. Her hand is gracefully held where her chin recently rested. Her long brunette hair has been swept up into a loose bun, with sunlight causing several stray strands to seemly glow with radiance. She seems to gaze directly at you, her head lightly cocked, one eye slightly quirked and lips pursed as if to say, &amp;quot;Don&#039;t you dare draw me&amp;quot;. &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

:&#039;&#039;&#039;Artist Notes:&lt;br /&gt;
The colored pencil portrait entitled &amp;quot;The Look&amp;quot; depicts a young elven girl who&#039;s daydreams have been interrupted. She is casually dressed in a lavender spider silk tunic and seated near sun lit window in a castle tower. Her hand is gracefully held where her chin recently rested. Her long brunette hair has been swept up into a loose bun, with sunlight causing several stray strands to seemly glow with radiance. She seems to gaze directly at you, her head lightly cocked, one eye slightly quirked and lips pursed as if to say, &amp;quot;Don&#039;t you dare draw me&amp;quot;. &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

::&#039;&#039;This is a portrait of the Argent Mirror, [[Myasara Illistim]], taking a moment alone in the morning, away from the court and away from the practiced formality that&#039;s so often demanded of her.  A dried black rose is tucked away in the pages of her book, the symbol of Laethe and a reminder of her lost love - Caylio.  She allows her mind to wander away from her reading, thinking of him while watching the airships dock in the distance and breathing in the scent of the fresh mournblooms..&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&#039;&#039;This was digitally painted in Adobe Photoshop on top of a pencil sketch, with some additional work done in Adobe Illustrator.  As a final point of trivia: there are 17 peacock feathers hiding in this portrait.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

::&#039;&#039;Pencilled, inked, and painted digitally in Paint Tool Sai. The original idea was to convey a more lighthearted scenario of a Vaalorian cataphract courting an elven maiden with the help of his buds. FEASTDAY IS FOR THE BOYS.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;&#039;Artist Notes:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
::&#039;&#039;While I enjoy digital illustration periodically, metal is my primary medium.  As such, I chose to create an elven geldaralad out of woven wire and maille.  A mixture of fine silver and anodized niobium is my approximation of the pearly white and rainbow sheen of vaalin.  The pattern I chose for the suspending chain is a variant of a simple spiral weave, intended to capture both the required &#039;twisted&#039; nature of the chain in order to be a proper elven geldaralad, as well as present an open and airy aesthetic that would allow me to marry the white silver and rainbow niobium together in such a way that neither became too dominant.  Finally, the &amp;quot;feystones&amp;quot; are Swarovski crystal.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
