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

Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim.

A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don't forget to bring cash for a tip!

In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them.

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

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

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

===Who organizes SimuCon?===

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Is SimuCon family friendly?===

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

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

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

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

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

===What should I wear?===

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

=== Is there a pool?===

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

Super-Fish-All Tackle Box

2026-06-04T18:38:08Z

HORIBU1: Added clarification to page per wiki post Marstreforn [GS4], : Hello all. The tackle boxes sold at EG are not approved to hold any additional items outside of how they currently function. There is no need to submit further bug reports with such requests.

<table><tr valign="top"><td>
The '''Super-Fish-All Tackle Box''' is a specialty box used for storing [[fishing equipment]]. They are only approved to hold fishing line, lures, and weights. If unlocked appropriately, they can also hold caught fish. They are not meant to hold anything else outside of that.

This mithril tackle box can store up to 20 types of Fishing Line, Fishing Lures, or Fishing Weights used in the fishing system. They will also stack, but must be identical. Each tray can hold up to 25 of the same item.

It has the following verb options: gaze (lists fishing gear stored), pluck (removes selected fishing gear), tinker (cycle through the trays of fishing gear).

There are some braided loops on the side of the mithril tackle box, conveniently placed to secure a fishing rod.

3. The article must contain the word tackle just prior to the noun field and the noun must be box.
4. It can not be deepened or lightened.
5. An alterer may be able to do Customizations on this for you.

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

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

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

===Who organizes SimuCon?===

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Is SimuCon family friendly?===

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

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

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

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

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

===What should I wear?===

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

=== Is there a pool?===

YES, pack your bathing suit! The Sheraton Westport Plaza has an indoor pool, and their sister property the Sheraton Westport Chalet has an outdoor pool. The Chalet's outdoor pool is very close and is a popular day time destination for attendees. All facilities at both hotels are available to any guest staying at either hotel. There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any. It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.
==Visitor Information==
The convention is typically held in the St. Louis area, home of Simutronic's headquarters. While the host hotel may very, it is usually held at one of the many convention spaces at or near the Westport Plaza. For specific details on the official hotel, please see the below accommodations list. Also below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors.

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

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

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

===Who organizes SimuCon?===

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Is SimuCon family friendly?===

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

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

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

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

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

===What should I wear?===

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

=== Is there a pool?===

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

== Description ==

The true origins of the erithians are shrouded in mystery and magic. What is known for certain is that their recorded history on [[Elanthia]] began about fifteen hundred years ago, ca. 3600 of the Modern Era. The journals of that time relate that a small population of their people was somehow transported to this world through some great magic, of which the details are unknown.

Their legends say that they were placed here by the [[Arkati]] - commonly by [[Fash'lo'nae]] himself - either intentionally or through some divine shifting of the planes; though many, considering the powerful sorcerers and wise mages of their people, insist that it was through some powerful mortal magic, either intentional or accidental. In more recent times, some more practical erithian thinkers have theorized that perhaps they are some distant cousin of [[Elves | elves]], long separated from the main bloodlines, who settled in the mountains many ages ago and, for some unknown reason, were nearly exterminated and chose to destroy their past history and shroud it in legends of magic and divine intervention. Perhaps there is some basis in fact to the opinion of some that they were put here by the Gods, but the true story of their origins will probably never be known.

The erithi are slightly taller and thinner than humans, (about 5'6" to 6'6") with slightly pointed ears and almond-shaped eyes, usually with somewhat vertically 'slitted' rather than completely round pupils. They are not as lithe and quick as elves, though many believe them to be related to elves and those with no knowledge of their race often assume them to be somewhat odd-looking half-elves. They are neither muscular nor fast, but are hardy and deceptively tough, and resistant to damage and extremes in weather. They live about 300 years on average, far longer than humans but much less than the elves. Erithians have overall light coloration, ranging from nearly translucent pale white skin to almost any shade of fair - rosy, alabaster, ashen, sallow, even slightly tanned, but never dark. Their hair is also light colored - never darker than a steely grey or titian, and usually lighter - and commonly silver, white or grey even in youth. Both genders are often balding or with just a fringe of hair, males more commonly, though they are rarely completely bald - high foreheads or a fringe of hair worn long are more common. Their eye color ranges from nearly crystal-clear to medium brown, often shades of grey, blue, green, or golden, and again, never dark.

'''Famous Erithi:''' Ertaia Selem, Tirathi & Eliko Atelecha

''Did you know? Many believe erithians to be related to elves. In fact, those with no knowledge of their race may assume they are rather odd-looking half-elves. While there are many diverse opinions, the origin of erithians is, however, unknown.''

== Cultures ==

All the erithi on Elanthia can trace their ancestry back to one or more of six extended family groups who made up the original population in Atan Irith. Reverence for one's family history and ancestry is important to them - not in a religious sense of ancestor-worship, but as an assurance of keeping the history of the people and honoring the deeds and wisdom of those past. Those of the various bloodlines do not live in isolated groups - though some regions comprise a larger percentage of one bloodline than others, due to being settled by family groups in the past - and individuals of various bloodlines often intermarry, with the male taking on the family identity of the female in most cases. (Perhaps two-thirds of all marriages remain within the same family bloodline. This is not a matter of marrying close relatives - as many of the same 'tribe' are only related by blood through centuries-old ties - although marriages as closely related as cousins are not forbidden or unheard of, and even encouraged among the Eloth Dai.)

Members of the same Dai recognize their common kinship, and take part in family ceremonies of history and remembrance on certain days important to each clan. They also often go into business ventures or other cooperative undertakings with their kinsmen, and those in need of help tend to turn to others of their clan for aid. A small percentage of erithians do not count themselves as a member of a Dai, usually because they have voluntarily disowned their family because of some dispute, very rarely in cases of a few who have repudiated all ties to others for some personal quest or other reason. These independent spirits are not outcast from society or hated for their status, but simply do not enjoy the benefits of kinship.

Erithi lore states that there were originally ten family bloodlines in their original homeland, but four of these were not represented in the population who arrived on Elanthia. These four families are referred to here only as the Agan Dai, or "old clans, and though individual members are mentioned in old historical writings, their family histories are not part of erithi life on Elanthia except at certain ceremonies of remembrance.

=== [[Eloth Dai]] ===

Descended from a long line of adept magic users, the Eloth Dai are the most insular of the clans, rarely marrying outside the clan as many believe that talent for magic is passed along by blood. Males of other clans who wish to marry into the Eloth Dai cannot do so without the approval of the clan elders, a restriction not present in any other clan. Children of this bloodline tend to have very light-colored skin, eyes, and hair, the latter often silver or white from birth. The name means 'the sky clan' or 'high clan'.

The symbol of Eloth Dai is a grey owl.

=== [[Surath Dai]] ===

The family traditions of the Surath Dai revere the power of the physical world, the planet, and the forces of essence that emanate from and surround it. Many are adept magic users, especially of elemental or spiritual nature, though they are more sociable and open to relations with other clans than the Eloth. Many Surath consider Eonak a patron. The clan name means 'the stone clan' or 'earth clan'.

The symbol of Surath Dai is a silver or white ram.

=== [[Nathala Dai]] ===

Members of Nathala Dai hail from the coastal regions of Atan Irith, perhaps paradoxically, the Nathala tend to be both the most peace loving and the most skilled in weapons and combat of the entire race due to their experiences defending against pirates and the dangers of the sea. Those of Nathala descent tend to be of slightly darker coloration than most erithi, tending more toward pale olive or freckled skin, light brown or red hair, and brightly-hued eyes.

The symbol of Nathala Dai is a bronze or golden nautilus shell.

=== [[Yachan Dai]] ===

Valuing the wonders of nature, the Yachan Dai prefer the greener lands found in woodlands and valleys where they can meditate on the land's beauty and complexity. Many artists, craftsmen, and bards, as well as magic users of a spiritual or mentalist bent, descend from this clan.

The symbol of Yachan Dai is a butterfly, of any or many colors.

=== [[Tichan Dai]] ===

Most populous of the clans, the Tichan Dai make up at least a third of the population in Eloth-Ra. Tichan often find they are related to just about everyone else in their town through some intermarriage or another, and often hold the more public jobs in town life - shopkeepers, healers, merchants - though among adventurers, all professions are equally represented.

The symbol of Tichan Dai is a fish, often a silver salmon.

=== [[Valaka Dai]] ===

Never settling in any one place, the Valaka Dai are the fewest in number of all other clans due to their wanderlust, rarely building large families and often intermarrying into other clans. Many explorers, traders and others who habitually travel are of Valaka blood, as they often have less clan ties and responsibilities to keep them close to home.

The symbol of Valaka Dai is a grey or white falcon.

=== [[Volnath Dai]] ===

The Volnath Dai are a recently founded religious sect dedicated to the destruction of the Undead.

Their symbol is a white nautilus shell imposed on a shield of black.

== Background ==

=== Name ===

The name "erithian" comes from their native name for themselves, ''erithi'', which simply means "the People." They are sometimes poetically referred to as the People of the Sky, possibly derived from the name of their capital city, [[Eloth-Ra]], which means "Sky Home."

=== Religion ===

Most erithians are not deeply religious, regarding the Arkati as worthy of honor and devotion but not supernatural gods. They have a special affinity for Lumnis and Fash'lo'nae as the twin aspects of wisdom and knowledge. Eonak has a significant following in the Surath Dai, and Niima among those who dwell on the coasts.

=== Clothing ===

Traditional erithian dress consists of a cloth shirt (''[[isiqiri]]''), with either flaring breeches (''[[nanjir]]'') or close-fitting leggings (''[[kanjir]]''), over which is worn a multi-layered robe with colorful floral or natural designs (''[[atanika]]''), sometimes caught with a sash (''[[vatanura]]''). The distinctive erithian article of jewelry is the ''[[elothrai]]'', a specially chosen agate gem worn on the forehead.

Wand

2026-05-11T16:23:43Z

HORIBU1: /* List of wands */ remove duplicate white starstone wand

[[Wand]]s are long and thin rods, typically made of wood, bone, or metal, that hold magical spells. They are commonly found as [[treasure]], and can also be crafted with [[alchemy]]. There are also blank wands which hold no spell, but can have one imbedded into them with [[Magic Item Creation (420)]].

== Activation ==
To activate a wand, use the {{boldmono|[[Verb:WAVE|WAVE]]}} command: {{boldmono|WAVE MY {wand} AT {target}}}. This can be used in conjunction with the {{boldmono|[[Verb:TARGET|TARGET]]}} verb. If a target has been specified, then {{boldmono|WAVE MY WAND}} will cast the spell on the assigned target. The chance of a successful activation depends on the user's skill in [[Magic Item Use]] and other factors.

Wands created with [[Magic Item Creation (420)]] may optionally use {{boldmono|[[Verb:RAISE|RAISE]]}} instead of {{boldmono|WAVE}}.

Each wand can be activated for a certain number of [[charges]] before the magic is exhausted. Some types of wands will [[crumbly|crumble]] and be destroyed when this happens.

:''For the activation success formula, see [[Magic Item Use#Calculating Success]]''

Wand

2026-05-11T16:23:01Z

HORIBU1: /* List of wands */ remove duplicate nacre-inlaid wand

[[Wand]]s are long and thin rods, typically made of wood, bone, or metal, that hold magical spells. They are commonly found as [[treasure]], and can also be crafted with [[alchemy]]. There are also blank wands which hold no spell, but can have one imbedded into them with [[Magic Item Creation (420)]].

== Activation ==
To activate a wand, use the {{boldmono|[[Verb:WAVE|WAVE]]}} command: {{boldmono|WAVE MY {wand} AT {target}}}. This can be used in conjunction with the {{boldmono|[[Verb:TARGET|TARGET]]}} verb. If a target has been specified, then {{boldmono|WAVE MY WAND}} will cast the spell on the assigned target. The chance of a successful activation depends on the user's skill in [[Magic Item Use]] and other factors.

Wands created with [[Magic Item Creation (420)]] may optionally use {{boldmono|[[Verb:RAISE|RAISE]]}} instead of {{boldmono|WAVE}}.

Each wand can be activated for a certain number of [[charges]] before the magic is exhausted. Some types of wands will [[crumbly|crumble]] and be destroyed when this happens.

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

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

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

===Who organizes SimuCon?===

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Is SimuCon family friendly?===

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

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

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

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

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

===What should I wear?===

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

=== Is there a pool?===

YES, pack your bathing suit! The Sheraton Westport Plaza has an indoor pool, and their sister property the Sheraton Westport Chalet has an outdoor pool. The Chalet's outdoor pool is very close and is a popular day time destination for attendees. All facilities at both hotels are available to any guest staying at either hotel. There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any. It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.
==Visitor Information==
The convention is typically held in the St. Louis area, home of Simutronic's headquarters. While the host hotel may very, it is usually held at one of the many convention spaces at or near the Westport Plaza. For specific details on the official hotel, please see the below accommodations list. Also below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors. All distances calculated from the host hotel.

Reserve

2026-05-09T00:44:10Z

HORIBU1: /* Usage */ use section inclusion

The '''Reserve''' system, accessed via the [[Verb:RESERVE|RESERVE]] verb, allows you to set a small item usable in combat aside, ready to use anytime as if it was in your hand.

The aim of the system is to give you more flexibility in combat, and to increase the utility of the various magical consumable items.

==Slots==

The amount of items you can side aside ('reserve slots') depend on your subscription:

* F2P accounts do not get any reserve slots.
* Standard accounts get 1 slot.
* Premium accounts get 2.
* Platinum accounts get 3.

==RESERVE (verb)==
{{main|Verb:RESERVE}}
{{#section:Verb:RESERVE|usage}}

==Notes==
* You can [[Verb:INVOKE|invoke]] scrolls that are held in reserve without penalty (the 100 penalty applied when trying to invoke whilst holding another item is not applied when invoking from reserve).
* Generally it is better to put a wand in reserve and wave it from there versus holding it in your hand; for the vast majority of characters, an open hand will provide more [[DS|defense]] than a hand holding a wand.
* Some examples of things you can put in reserve: [[Herb|herbs]], [[Wand|wands]], [[Scroll|scrolls]], [[Heavy quartz orb|heavy quartz orbs]], [[Blue crystal|blue crystals]], [[Solid moonstone cube|solid moonstone cubes]], and more.
* Any item that must be worn to be effective, such as [[Ruby amulet|ruby amulets]], do ''not'' work from reserve.

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

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

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

===Who organizes SimuCon?===

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Is SimuCon family friendly?===

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

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

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

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

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

===What should I wear?===

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

=== Is there a pool?===

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

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

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

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

===Who organizes SimuCon?===

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Is SimuCon family friendly?===

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

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

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

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

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

===What should I wear?===

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

=== Is there a pool?===

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

While the host hotel may very, it is usually held at one of the many convention spaces at or near the Westport Plaza.

Lich:Software/Installation

2026-05-01T16:30:48Z

HORIBU1: /* Chromebook & Debian variants */ add additional apt package dependencies

{{3rd-party}}
=About=

Lich is an add-on scripting engine that works alongside existing front ends. The most common installation is a combination of Lich on Windows using the Wrayth or Wizard FE. Lich is also used by many on both MacOS and multiple Linux distributions.

=Installing the Latest Stable Release=

'''The latest stable lich version is 5.17.0 supporting Ruby 4.0 - published April 27, 2026'''

==In-Place Upgrade==

If you are on an older version of Lich 5 and want to upgrade to the most current version, you can choose to either upgrade Lich5 only or both Lich 5 and Ruby. If you're currently on Lich 4, able to check by running the command <CODE>;e echo LICH_VERSION</CODE>, go to the [[#Upgrade Installation for Lich 5 from Lich 4 (11/14/2023)|upgrade from Lich 4 section]].

For each section, please follow the directions/commands one at a time.

===Lich 5 Only===

====Lich 5.7 or newer====
# '''Backup existing Lich 5 folder'''
# Run this command in-game <CODE>;lich5-update --update</CODE>
# Quit and restart lich.
# Congratulations - you're now running on the latest version of Lich!

====Lich 5.6 or older====
Please proceed to updating both Ruby and Lich 5

===Both Ruby 4.0 & Lich 5===
This method is for Windows only. Linux and MacOS users, please do a Lich 5 only update and update Ruby manually via normal install/update methods for the OS.

# Logout of all characters
# '''Backup existing Lich 5 folder'''
# Uninstall existing Ruby4Lich5 installs from Programs & Features control panel, or alternatively, rename your existing Ruby4Lich5 folder to Ruby4Lich5save. (Defaults to C:\Ruby4Lich5)
# Download the latest [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer]
# Run the installer and be sure to have both Ruby and Lich 5 option selected
# Congratulations - you're now running on the latest version of Lich & Ruby!

===Ruby 4.0 Only===
Use this to upgrade to the newest version of Ruby only if you're already on the latest version of Lich5 and now want to update Ruby afterwards. If you're not already on the latest version of Lich5, please use previous section steps instead.
# Logout of all instances/characters
# '''Backup existing Lich 5 folder'''
# Uninstall your existing Ruby4Lich5 install via Programs & Features (ensure it's now gone, default location was C:\Ruby4Lich5)
# Download the latest [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer]
# Run the new installer and choose to only install Ruby Only
# Congratulations - you're now running on the latest version Ruby!

==Windows New Installation==

{{blue|These instructions are not for DragonRealms. [[#Ecosystem Information|For those scroll to the bottom]].}}

'''For Windows 11 / 10 / 8 / 7''' users: you can download the [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer] and install everything you need automatically. Click on the '''Ruby4Lich5.exe''' and download it to your computer then double click on the executable in your default download folder. Note, a user may need to adjust their browser or security settings to allow download and installation.
If you have never played before, follow the 'New Installation' instructions. If you have played before, and have used Lich before, follow the 'Upgrade Installation' instructions.

===New Installation for Lich 5 (11/14/2023)===

# '''Please log into the game of your choice through the Simutronics website first'''. Install the launcher (not SGE), and install your FrontEnd of Choice. The Wrayth FrontEnd is presently the supported FrontEnd, but Wizard will work as well, if you are nostalgic. After you've logged in, log out and continue.
# Download and Run the [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer]. You will receive the Microsoft Warning because this is not distributed through the MS Store. Click on 'More Info' and then select the 'Run Anyway' button.
# The installation may take a few minutes, especially on non-SSD harddrives.
# A Lich5 folder will be placed on your desktop after the install is finished, open that folder and double click the lich.rbw file contained inside to start Lich's Game Entry window.
# Use your existing Simutronics Account and Password and click connect. Then select the character you wish to play, and select the FrontEnd you wish to use. Then click the Play button.
# Your game FrontEnd should start, and you should see Lich5 initializing. You will see it downloading files - these are the map files, wait for the download to finish.

===Upgrade Installation for Lich 5 from Lich 4 (11/14/2023)===

This option is deprecated. Lich 5 architectures are not compatible with Lich 4. Back up your existing Lich 4 folder, uninstall any existing Ruby executables, and then follow the instructions for a new install above.

Additional assistance in installation can be found in the scripting channel of the GemStone [https://discord.gg/KF9Wr8u Discord].

==MacOS==
There two common options for playing Gemstone IV on a Mac is either to play natively with Avalon or to use virtualization software such as Parallels with Wrayth/WizardFE. Below are the options on how to do that.

===Native Avalon===
Players with Macs can use [[Mac_Installation_-_Lich_(software) | Installing Lich on Macs]] for installation help. This process works well for Mac OS Catalina and Big Sur. If you have not updated your Mac OS yet, these instructions may work depending on your actual version. If you run into a snag, follow the contact instructions provided.

===Parallels Windows===
With the latest releases of Ruby4Lich5 installer, you can now follow the normal Windows installation for both Intel and Apple silicon based Apple computers.

To install Wrayth/WizardFE, Lich, and Ruby via Parallels you will need to do a few various steps as outlined below. Please note, the rubyw file in C:\Ruby4Lich5\X.X.X\bin may be set to run in compatibility mode for windows 7. On an ARM Mac running parallels, this may causes Wrayth scripts not to run. Turning compatibility mode off in the rubyw file could fixe this issue if it was enabled.

The following steps are to be done AFTER you've successfully installed Wrayth/WizardFE and can login normally without Lich5 on the machine. Once you've done that and can successful connect normally, then follow these steps:
# Download and install [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer] and use default options presented during install
# Double click the lich.rbw file that is now located in the extracted Lich5 location you did above. Login and play as usual.

==Chromebook & Debian variants==
<div class="mw-customtoggle-debian" style="font-size:16px;overflow:auto;color:#0000FF">[Click to Expand]</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-debian">
The following steps should install Lich and Profanity for users of Debian/Chromebooks. Profanity is a terminal-based Front-End that will let you play the game (in lieu of The Wizard or Wrayth).

'''Step 1.'''
Update the list of available software and make sure some requirements are installed:

<pre>
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y install autoconf bison build-essential curl libssl-dev libyaml-dev libreadline6-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm6 libgdbm-dev libsqlite3-dev git unzip libcairo2-dev libgirepository1.0-dev libgtk-3-dev gobject-introspection
</pre>

{{side box|NOTE: If you are updating an existing Ruby installation rather than installing from scratch, skip steps 2, 3, and 4. Instead, update your ruby-build with the following command, and then proceed to Step 5.<pre>git -C ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build pull</pre>}}

'''Step 2.'''
Install '''<tt>[https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv rbenv]</tt>''', a Ruby version manager. Add it to the <tt>PATH</tt> so that it will work outside of its own directory, and set it up to work when you launch the shell (terminal):
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
</pre>

'''Step 3.'''
Run the shell's launch script now to enable those two changes and get rbenv working:
<pre>
source ~/.bashrc
</pre>

'''Step 4.'''

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

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

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

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

In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them.

Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.

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

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

Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.

===What should I wear?===

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

=== Is there a pool?===

YES, pack your bathing suit! The Sheraton Westport Plaza has an indoor pool, and their sister property the Sheraton Westport Chalet has an outdoor pool. The Chalet's outdoor pool is very close and is a popular day time destination for attendees. All facilities at both hotels are available to any guest staying at either hotel.

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

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

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

===Who organizes SimuCon?===

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Is SimuCon family friendly?===

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

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

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

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

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

===What should I wear?===

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

=== Is there a pool?===

YES, pack your bathing suit! The Sheraton Westport Plaza has an indoor pool, and their sister property the Sheraton Westport Chalet has an outdoor pool. The Chalet's outdoor pool is very close and is a popular day time destination for attendees. All facilities at both hotels are available to any guest staying at either hotel. There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any. It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.
==Visitor Information==
The convention is typically held in the St. Louis area, home of Simutronic's headquarters. While the host hotel may very, it is usually held at one of the many convention spaces at or near the Westport Plaza.

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Is SimuCon family friendly?===

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

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

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

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

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

===What should I wear?===

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

=== Is there a pool?===

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

Weight reduction

2026-04-20T15:08:06Z

HORIBU1: /* Rumor Woods Cost */ add missing values

Weight reduction is a service applied to containers which reduces the [[encumbrance|weight]] of items carried within the container. It is typically available at [[Rumor Woods]]. Weight reduction is applied to the contents of the container individually; a container which can hold 200 pounds and has 20% weight reduction will apply that 20% weight reduction to each item in the container rather than holding the first 40 pounds weightlessly.

'''Note''': The weight reduction applied to a container applied only to the portion of the container's capacity that existed at the time of the service. For example, if you apply a 20% weight reduction to a container with 100lbs of capacity, and then you deepen the container to 200lbs of capacity, the 20% weight reduction will apply only to the first 100lbs. In this scenario, a loresong on the container will recall that the container will reduce the weight of items by "20% for the first 100lbs".

'''Tip''': Herb kits are a more popular choice than loot sacks. Smaller containers which remain mostly full will benefit more from this style of weight reduction than large, mostly empty containers.

==Rumor Woods Cost==

Weight reduction at Rumor Woods is purchased at [[RWShop:Couturier's Retreat|Couturier's Retreat]] from the seamstress in increments of 1% reduction per purchase. Asking about {{boldmono|[[APPRAISE]]}} with a container in hand will give you an estimate on the [[raikhen]] cost to apply 1% to that container. The cost is based on the carrying capacity of the container and its current level of weight reduction, with sharp price increases every 20%.

Cost information provided by Cigar.

===Divine===
Divine bloodrunes are the second most common tier able to be found in the sewers. Similar to the [[Bloodrune#Classic | classic]] tier, they add a line to the MoonShard pendant's original glamour effect, and align with specific deities. A [[Blood-infused crystal#Divine | blood-infused crystal]] can be used to slightly alter the rune on divine bloodrunes, changing the moonshard pendant's base glamour.

* '''Bloodrune Holder'''
: ''Effect: Miniature <item> spiral outward from (him/her) before fading away.''

* '''MoonShard Pendant'''
: ''Effect: Interspersed within the dim aura are miniature <item> that float around (him/her).''

===Arcane===
Arcane bloodrunes are the third tier available, and were initially introduced during the August 2017 Duskruin run. Unlike the [[Bloodrune#classic|classic]] or [[Bloodrune#Divine|divine]], arcane bloodrunes change the entire glamour affect of the MoonShard pendant instead of adding a line at the end of it. [[Blood-infused crystal#Arcane | Blood-infused crystals]] can be used to change the location in the pendant's glamour from '''Bloodriven Village''' to the location associated with the rune on the crystal.

* '''Bloodrune Holder'''
: ''Effect: <Rune Type> arcane sigils glow in front of (him/her).''

* '''MoonShard Pendant:'''

===Mystic===
Mystic bloodrunes are the final tier of more widely available bloodrunes. Similar to [[Bloodrune#Arcane | arcane]] bloodrunes, they were released in August 2017 and change the entire glamour effect of the MoonShard pendant. However, mystic bloodrunes have 4-5 versions that shift when worn with a Pendant. When used in a Bloodrune Holder, it creates an illusion which is custom to each bloodrune - ''Effect: Mystical energies wash over him, [custom for each Mystic bloodrune].''

Legendary bloodrunes are the final tier of bloodrunes and are limited to a release of '''1''' per instance. Similar to [[Bloodrune#Arcane|arcane]] and [[Bloodrune#Mystic|mystic]] tiers, they change the glamour projected by a moonshard pendant. Additionally, they work with corresponding cloaks that are released during the same run but in alternate methods, such as the [[Duskruin Treasure Trove|Treasure Trove]].

Tapered digits bearing glossy black claws cap the wings at taloned feet and hands.

| '''Abyran'ra'''
| August 2019
| [[Legendary Bloodrune Cloak|Black Snakeskin Cloak]]
| align=left | Through a/n <pendant color> haze, <character name>'s features appear transformed into those of an abyran'ra. Thirteen <hair color> serpents ring <his|her> head, bestowing <her|him> a full crown of the twisting vipers as they writhe back and forth in an undulating, hypnotic fashion. <His|Her> pale, lidless eyes are devoid of pupils -- merely rippling with faint hints of <eye color> every few moments. Twin pairs of fangs peek out from beneath <his|her> thin lips, and the smoothness of <his|her> skin fades away into sleek scales below <his|her> abdomen, <his|her> lower body tapering into a massive, sinuous tail like that of a snake.

| [[Legendary Bloodrune Cloak|Scraggly Rat Fur Cloak]]
| align=left | Through an <pendant color> haze, <character> features appear to be transformed into those of a giant rat. Dark, scruffy amber fur dominates his pot-bellied form, while beady crystal green eyes gaze over a pointed snout with two very large, white front teeth. Two naked pink ears, the right of which is missing a large chunk, twitch as he listens to everything around him. A long, seemingly bald tail stretches out behind him.

| '''Colossus'''
| August 2021
| [[Legendary Bloodrune Cloak|Granite-hued oilcloth cloak]]
| align=left | Towering over her surroundings, Thandiwe has a stony countenance with an impassive expression and an unyielding hazel gaze. Chiseled features with chips and pits due to aging and erosion make it impossible to determine her race, while skins of moss in shades of rust red provide the hint of natural hair. Her hands stand out the most, the large digits at once smooth from exposure to weather and yet cracked with age, hinting at a hidden strength beneath a calm exterior.

| [[Legendary Bloodrune Cloak|Frosty gossamer shroud]]
| align=left | Haunting winter grey eyes gaze with a disturbing vacancy from Thandiwe's eerie visage, which morphs between expressions of abject horror and fractured sanity from one moment to the next. His waif-like limbs float in a current of frosty air that spirals around him, transforming his appearance between states of flickering, semi-translucency to near blinding white and icy solidity. A mane of coppery red hair frames his gaunt head, the scraggly tendrils falling away from his gaunt face in erratic lengths.

A '''[[#Bloodrune|bloodrune]]''' can be used in conjunction with a [[MoonShard pendant]] in order alter the appearance of its glamour or with a [[Bloodrune Holder]] to create an illusion. Using [[#Flat Etched Stone|stones]] found in the sewers and a [[#Chisel|chisel]], they can be created by carving an [[#Ur-Barath Totem|ur-barath totem]]. When a bloodrune is in use, it adds an additional line to the pendant's {{boldmono|LOOK}}/{{boldmono|SHOW}} description and alters the glamour that the pendant projects based on its tier.

===Divine===
Divine bloodrunes are the second most common tier able to be found in the sewers. Similar to the [[Bloodrune#Classic | classic]] tier, they add a line to the MoonShard pendant's original glamour effect, and align with specific deities. A [[Blood-infused crystal#Divine | blood-infused crystal]] can be used to slightly alter the rune on divine bloodrunes, changing the moonshard pendant's base glamour.

* '''Bloodrune Holder'''

===Arcane===
Arcane bloodrunes are the third tier available, and were initially introduced during the August 2017 Duskruin run. Unlike the [[Bloodrune#classic|classic]] or [[Bloodrune#Divine|divine]], arcane bloodrunes change the entire glamour affect of the MoonShard pendant instead of adding a line at the end of it. [[Blood-infused crystal#Arcane | Blood-infused crystals]] can be used to change the location in the pendant's glamour from '''Bloodriven Village''' to the location associated with the rune on the crystal.

* '''Bloodrune Holder'''
: ''Effect: <Rune Type> arcane sigils glow in front of (him/her).''

===Mystic===
Mystic bloodrunes are the final tier of more widely available bloodrunes. Similar to [[Bloodrune#Arcane | arcane]] bloodrunes, they were released in August 2017 and change the entire glamour effect of the MoonShard pendant. However, mystic bloodrunes have 4-5 versions that shift when worn with a Pendant. When used in a Bloodrune Holder, it creates an illusion which is custom to each bloodrune - ''Effect: Mystical energies wash over him, [custom for each Mystic bloodrune].''

===Legendary===
Legendary bloodrunes are the final tier of bloodrunes and are limited to a release of '''1''' per instance. Similar to [[Bloodrune#Arcane|arcane]] and [[Bloodrune#Mystic|mystic]] tiers, they change the glamour projected by a moonshard pendant. Additionally, they work with corresponding cloaks that are released during the same run but in alternate methods, such as the [[Duskruin Treasure Trove|Treasure Trove]].

| August 2016
| [[Legendary Bloodrune Cloak|Rough Leather Cloak]]
| style="text-align: left;" | Through a <pendant color> haze, <your name>'s features appear transformed into those of a minotaur. Two thick horns protrude from the top of <his/her> head and taper to extreme points. <His|Her> menacing golden eyes appear to flash intermittently but exude a great sense of intelligence. A thick gold ring dangles from <his|her> nose, and a slightly muffled snort-grunt is occasionally heard coming from <his|her> direction.

Barely recognizable, <he|she> is covered in long, gristly hair tinged from deep scarlet to stark black. Clumps of dirt imbedded with twigs and leaves cover <his|her> domed head, and a single bushy eyebrow creates a thick ledge of fur over <his|her> tiny black eyes.

| '''Cave Troll'''
| April 2017
| [[Legendary Bloodrune Cloak|Trollhide Cloak]]
| style="text-align: left;" | Through a <pendant color> haze, <your name>'s features appear transformed into those of a cave troll. Towering above most giantmen, <his|her> hulking stature alone is intimidating. Wide splits in <his|her> grey leathery skin sprout tufts of coarse dark hair, and rows of oversized fangs protrude from <his|her> mouth, forcing <his|her> lips into a permanent menacing grin. An overwhelming stench of decay lingers around <him|her>.
|-
| role="rowheader" | {{big|'''<nowiki>|X|</nowiki>'''}}
| '''Troll King'''
| April 2017
| [[Legendary Bloodrune Cloak|Trollhide Cloak]]
| style="text-align: left;" | Through a <pendant color> haze, <your name>'s features appear transformed into those of a troll king. With arms like enormous tree branches and claws sharp as razors, <he|she> appears quite a formidable opponent. Grotesque clusters of scab-ridden warts along <his|her> dark green leathery skin are slightly overshadowed by bits of bloodied flesh that dangle from <his|her> oversized incisors. While <his|her> size and appearance is quite intimidating, a vacant look exists in <his|her> eyes.

| '''Storm Griffin'''
| February 2018
| [[Legendary Bloodrune Cloak|Feather Cloak]]
| style="text-align: left;" | Through a <pendant color> haze, <your name>'s features appear transformed into those of a storm griffin. In contradiction, large powder-blue feathers gracefully frame <his|her> face, but <his|her> aquiline nose presents validity to <his|her> ability to slice through the thickest of flesh with ease. <His|Her> muscular and powerful hindquarters are only slightly less intimidating than the massive claws that could assassinate any opponent in one brutal swipe. An elongated, sandy blonde feline tail with a tuft of a darker-hued fur swats tirelessly at the air around <him|her>, and <he|she> seems to almost hover a few inches off the ground, propelled by <his|her> daunting, but magnificent, wings.

In contradiction, large golden feathers gracefully frame <his|her> face, but <his|her> aquiline nose presents validity to <his|her> ability to slice through the thickest of flesh with ease. <His|Her> muscular and powerful hindquarters are only slightly less intimidating than the massive claws that could assassinate any opponent in one brutal swipe.

| '''Vesperti'''
| June 2018
| [[Legendary Bloodrune Cloak|Tenebrous Cloak]]
| align=left | Through a <pendant color> haze, <your name>'s features appear transformed into those of a vesperti. Willowy thin and tall, <his|her> lithe form is covered in coarse black fur. Intense grey eyes stare out from beneath a mane of tousled hair, while the fine features of <his|her> face resemble an elven ancestry. A veined membrane of skin extends from <his|her> ankles up to his wrists, their edges scalloped like those of a bat's wings. Tapered digits bearing glossy black claws cap the wings at taloned feet and hands.
|-
| role="rowheader" | {{big|'''<nowiki>`x-^-x`</nowiki>'''}}
| '''Abyran'ra'''
| August 2019
| [[Legendary Bloodrune Cloak|Black Snakeskin Cloak]]
| align=left | Through a/n <pendant color> haze, <character name>'s features appear transformed into those of an abyran'ra. Thirteen <hair color> serpents ring <his|her> head, bestowing <her|him> a full crown of the twisting vipers as they writhe back and forth in an undulating, hypnotic fashion. <His|Her> pale, lidless eyes are devoid of pupils -- merely rippling with faint hints of <eye color> every few moments. Twin pairs of fangs peek out from beneath <his|her> thin lips, and the smoothness of <his|her> skin fades away into sleek scales below <his|her> abdomen, <his|her> lower body tapering into a massive, sinuous tail like that of a snake.
|-

| '''Giant Rat'''
| August 2020
| [[Legendary Bloodrune Cloak|Scraggly Rat Fur Cloak]]
| align=left | Through an <pendant color> haze, <character> features appear to be transformed into those of a giant rat. Dark, scruffy amber fur dominates his pot-bellied form, while beady crystal green eyes gaze over a pointed snout with two very large, white front teeth. Two naked pink ears, the right of which is missing a large chunk, twitch as he listens to everything around him. A long, seemingly bald tail stretches out behind him.
|-
| role="rowheader" style="white-space: nowrap;" | {{big|'''<nowiki>==||==</nowiki>'''}}
| '''Colossus'''
| August 2021
| [[Legendary Bloodrune Cloak|Granite-hued oilcloth cloak]]
| align=left | Towering over her surroundings, Thandiwe has a stony countenance with an impassive expression and an unyielding hazel gaze. Chiseled features with chips and pits due to aging and erosion make it impossible to determine her race, while skins of moss in shades of rust red provide the hint of natural hair. Her hands stand out the most, the large digits at once smooth from exposure to weather and yet cracked with age, hinting at a hidden strength beneath a calm exterior.
|-
| role="rowheader" style="white-space: nowrap;" | {{big|'''<nowiki>./*~*\.</nowiki>'''}}
| '''Snow Spectre'''
| February 2022
| [[Legendary Bloodrune Cloak|Frosty gossamer shroud]]
| align=left | Haunting winter grey eyes gaze with a disturbing vacancy from Thandiwe's eerie visage, which morphs between expressions of abject horror and fractured sanity from one moment to the next. His waif-like limbs float in a current of frosty air that spirals around him, transforming his appearance between states of flickering, semi-translucency to near blinding white and icy solidity. A mane of coppery red hair frames his gaunt head, the scraggly tendrils falling away from his gaunt face in erratic lengths.

===Divine===
Divine bloodrunes are the second most common tier able to be found in the sewers. Similar to the [[Bloodrune#Classic | classic]] tier, they add a line to the MoonShard pendant's original glamour effect, and align with specific deities. A [[Blood-infused crystal#Divine | blood-infused crystal]] can be used to slightly alter the rune on divine bloodrunes, changing the moonshard pendant's base glamour.

* '''Bloodrune Holder'''
: ''Effect: Miniature <item> spiral outward from (him/her) before fading away.''

* '''MoonShard Pendant'''
: ''Effect: Interspersed within the dim aura are miniature <item> that float around (him/her).''

===Arcane===
Arcane bloodrunes are the third tier available, and were initially introduced during the August 2017 Duskruin run. Unlike the [[Bloodrune#classic|classic]] or [[Bloodrune#Divine|divine]], arcane bloodrunes change the entire glamour affect of the MoonShard pendant instead of adding a line at the end of it. [[Blood-infused crystal#Arcane | Blood-infused crystals]] can be used to change the location in the pendant's glamour from '''Bloodriven Village''' to the location associated with the rune on the crystal.

* '''Bloodrune Holder'''
: ''Effect: <Rune Type> arcane sigils glow in front of (him/her).''

* '''MoonShard Pendant:'''

===Mystic===
Mystic bloodrunes are the final tier of more widely available bloodrunes. Similar to [[Bloodrune#Arcane | arcane]] bloodrunes, they were released in August 2017 and change the entire glamour effect of the MoonShard pendant. However, mystic bloodrunes have 4-5 versions that shift when worn with a Pendant. When used in a Bloodrune Holder, it creates an illusion which is custom to each bloodrune - ''Effect: Mystical energies wash over him, [custom for each Mystic bloodrune].''

Legendary bloodrunes are the final tier of bloodrunes and are limited to a release of '''1''' per instance. Similar to [[Bloodrune#Arcane|arcane]] and [[Bloodrune#Mystic|mystic]] tiers, they change the glamour projected by a moonshard pendant. Additionally, they work with corresponding cloaks that are released during the same run but in alternate methods, such as the [[Duskruin Treasure Trove|Treasure Trove]].

Thirteen <hair color> serpents ring <his|her> head, bestowing <her|him> a full crown of the twisting vipers as they writhe back and forth in an undulating, hypnotic fashion. <His|Her> pale, lidless eyes are devoid of pupils -- merely rippling with faint hints of <eye color> every few moments. Twin pairs of fangs peek out from beneath <his|her> thin lips, and the smoothness of <his|her> skin fades away into sleek scales below <his|her> abdomen, <his|her> lower body tapering into a massive, sinuous tail like that of a snake.

| align=left | Through an <pendant color> haze, <character> features appear to be transformed into those of a giant rat. Dark, scruffy amber fur dominates his pot-bellied form, while beady crystal green eyes gaze over a pointed snout with two very large, white front teeth. Two naked pink ears, the right of which is missing a large chunk, twitch as he listens to everything around him. A long, seemingly bald tail stretches out behind him.

Chiseled features with chips and pits due to aging and erosion make it impossible to determine her race, while skins of moss in shades of rust red provide the hint of natural hair. Her hands stand out the most, the large digits at once smooth from exposure to weather and yet cracked with age, hinting at a hidden strength beneath a calm exterior.

| align=left | Haunting winter grey eyes gaze with a disturbing vacancy from Thandiwe's eerie visage, which morphs between expressions of abject horror and fractured sanity from one moment to the next. His waif-like limbs float in a current of frosty air that spirals around him, transforming his appearance between states of flickering, semi-translucency to near blinding white and icy solidity. A mane of coppery red hair frames his gaunt head, the scraggly tendrils falling away from his gaunt face in erratic lengths.

Initially released during the April 2016 [[Duskruin Arena]], this pendant acts like a [[Glamour crystal|glamour crystal]] when used. The pendant itself is useless without the accompanying [[Moon-Filled Pendant#Moon Shards|moon shards]] found only in the [[Bloodriven Sewers]]. During the August 2016 run, a new feature was added with [[Moon-Filled Pendant#Bloodrunes|bloodrunes]] that add an additional description to the glamoured affect. Moonshard parts are no longer available in the sewers.<br>

|itemsummary= Upon placing the four completed miniature moons into a '''four-ringed metal pendant''', it will randomly transform into a moon-filled pendant with one of fifteen possible metals, and is a fully functioning [[glamour crystal]].

<blockquote>

<pre{{log2}}>
Long strands of silver and <metal> have been twisted together in a double rope pattern to create a sturdy, but elegant, neckchain.

|analyze= You analyze your white ora pendant and sense that the item cannot be altered in any way.

The creator has also provided the following information:

This white ora pendant cannot be altered in any way. It will hold miniature moons created from individual pieces found in Bloodriven Village, Duskruin. You curently have 4 moons attached to your pendant.

USAGE: COVER (turn feature off), EXHALE, FIDGET, PROD, RAISE, RUB, and SHAKE

Since your pendant is unlocked, it can alter your LOOK description. When worn, you can RUB the pendant to activate this ability, and PROD to change what others will see when they look at you.

Through a ethereal white haze, you see a/an <race> Champion of <Duskruin/Deity> with <complexion> skin and <eye characteristic, if applicable> <eye color> eyes.

Use PROD to toggle between "Duskruin" and <your attuned deity>. Note that this pendant will not be accepted as alter fodder.

In order to change the pendant's metal/haze, a visit to the [[Bloodforge]] is necessary.

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

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

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

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

: <h4>[[Bloodrune#Classic | Classic]]</h4>
: Classic bloodrunes are the most common tier available. When added, the bloodrune adds an additional line to the glamour illusion of the pendant.

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

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

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

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

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

: <h4>[[Bloodrune#Mystic | Mystic]]</h4>
: Mystic bloodrunes are the final tier of more widely available bloodrunes. Similar to arcane bloodrunes, they were released in August 2017 and change the entire glamour effect of the MoonShard pendant. However, mystic bloodrunes have 4-5 versions that shift when worn.
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-mystic"

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

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

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

: <h4>[[Blood-infused crystal#Divine | Divine]]</h4>
: Divine blood-infused crystals can be used to carve [[Bloodrune#Divine | divine]] bloodrunes only. Once carved and added to a MoonShard pendant, the bloodrune changes the base glamour of the pendant.
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-divinecrystal"

| {{#section:Blood-infused crystal|divine}}
|}

: <h4>[[Blood-infused crystal#Arcane | Arcane]]</h4>
: Arcane blood-infused crystals can be used to carve [[Bloodrune#Arcane | arcane]] bloodrunes only. Once carved and added to a MoonShard pendant, the bloodrune changes the location shown in the pendant's glamour from '''Bloodriven Village''' to the location associated with the rune on the crystal.
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-arcanecrystal"
|+ style="white-space:nowrap; padding-left: 2em; text-align: left;" | '''Effect: Changes location in glamour based on crystal rune. [<span class="mw-customtoggle-arcanecrystal" role="link" style="color:#0000ff">Expand</span>]'''

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

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

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

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

Players with Macs can use [[Mac_Installation_-_Lich_(software) | Installing Lich on Macs]] for installation help. This process works well for Mac OS Catalina and Big Sur. If you have not updated your Mac OS yet, these instructions may work depending on your actual version. If you run into a snag, follow the contact instructions provided.

===Parallels Windows===
With the latest releases of Ruby4Lich5 installer, you can now follow the normal Windows installation for both Intel and Apple silicon based Apple computers.

To install Wrayth/WizardFE, Lich, and Ruby via Parallels you will need to do a few various steps as outlined below. Please note, the rubyw file in C:\Ruby4Lich5\X.X.X\bin may be set to run in compatibility mode for windows 7. On an ARM Mac running parallels, this may causes Wrayth scripts not to run. Turning compatibility mode off in the rubyw file could fixe this issue if it was enabled.

The following steps are to be done AFTER you've successfully installed Wrayth/WizardFE and can login normally without Lich5 on the machine. Once you've done that and can successful connect normally, then follow these steps:
# Download and install [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer] and use default options presented during install
# Double click the lich.rbw file that is now located in the extracted Lich5 location you did above. Login and play as usual.

The following steps should install Lich and Profanity for users of Debian/Chromebooks. Profanity is a terminal-based Front-End that will let you play the game (in lieu of The Wizard or Wrayth).

Update the list of available software and make sure some requirements are installed:

<pre>
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y install autoconf bison build-essential curl libssl-dev libyaml-dev libreadline6-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm6 libgdbm-dev libsqlite3-dev git unzip
</pre>

Install '''<tt>[https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv rbenv]</tt>''', a Ruby version manager. Add it to the <tt>PATH</tt> so that it will work outside of its own directory, and set it up to work when you launch the shell (terminal):
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
</pre>

Run the shell's launch script now to enable those two changes and get rbenv working:
<pre>
source ~/.bashrc
</pre>

Download the tools to let rbenv install Ruby on its own, then install Ruby 3.4.4 and set it to be our default version of Ruby system-wide:
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
rbenv install 4.0.1 -v
rbenv global 4.0.1
</pre>

Install Lich:
<pre>
cd ~
curl -L "https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/lich-5.zip" -o temp.zip && unzip temp.zip -d ./ && rm temp.zip
</pre>

Tell Ruby not to create documentation for its gems (plugins/packages) unless asked, because it takes a long time and they are available online. Then install the dependencies for Lich and Profanity using Ruby's Gemfile that in included with Lich-5 now by using `bundle install` as shown below:
<pre>
echo "gem: --no-document" > ~/.gemrc
cd ~/lich-5
bundle install
</pre>

Profanity:
<pre>
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/elanthia-online/ProfanityFE.git
</pre>

Please refer to the '''[[Profanity | Profanity FE]]''' page for initial configuration and additional instructions.

Lich:Script Bigshot

2026-03-17T16:01:33Z

HORIBU1: /* PSM3 Integration */ remove rebuke/scourge/momentum as only command checks

{{3rd-party}}
Bigshot is a fully automated hunting script for GemStone IV. It handles combat routines, movement to and from hunting areas, target selection, and attack execution.
AFK scripting on any server other than Shattered is a violation of game policy.
{{TOCright| limit=2}}
==Changelog==
*[[Script Bigshot/Changelog|Script Bigshot Changelog]]
==About Bigshot==
===What Does Bigshot Do?===

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

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

Grab it from the repository: <CODE>;repository download Bigshot</CODE>

===How Do I Make It Go?===
Initial setup is accessed through <CODE>;bigshot setup</CODE>. This opens a configuration window with several tabs for setting up your hunting routine.

As with most scripts, the SETUP command opens a graphical user interface. Use <CODE>;bigshot setup</CODE> to open the dialog. The window contains the following tabs:
* '''Profile''' - Save and load profile configurations. Profiles are saved to your <CODE>\Lich5\data\<GSServer>\<charname>\bigshot_profiles</CODE> directory (e.g., <CODE>\Lich5\data\GSIV\Rinualdo\bigshot_profiles</CODE>). Note: if you previously used Bigshot, the file location has changed from the old <CODE>\Lich5\scripts\bigshot_profiles</CODE> folder. You can copy/paste your old profiles to the new location.
* '''Resting''' - Configure your resting routine, rest location, and conditions that trigger resting.
* '''Hunting''' - Create a hunting map using boundaries, set your starting room, configure attack/wander stances, and define pre-hunt behavior.
* '''Attacking''' - Configure ambush aiming, flee conditions, bless behavior, weapon reactions, and similar combat flags.
* '''Commands''' - Define your valid targets and associated attack routines. See sample routines below.
* '''Boon Creatures''' - Configure how Bigshot handles boss/boon creatures on a per-ability basis (fight, ignore, or flee).
* '''Misc''' - UAC options, MSTRIKE options, ammo/wand configuration, and MA grouping settings.
* '''Monitoring''' - Interaction monitoring, deadman's switch, depart behavior, and debug options.

Each tab is covered in detail further on.

===Other Commands===
Beyond the setup GUI, Bigshot has several command-line options:
* <CODE>;bigshot quick</CODE> - A special hunting mode that kills everything in your current room, then quits. It will not wander or attempt to rest. Uses its own separate hunting commands and targets (configured on the Commands tab).
* <CODE>;bigshot head</CODE> / <CODE>;bigshot tail</CODE> - Multi-account hunting on a single computer. All characters must be set up for the same hunting area. Following characters run <CODE>;bigshot tail</CODE>, then the leader runs <CODE>;bigshot head</CODE>. The leader can optionally specify the expected group size, e.g., <CODE>;bigshot head 3</CODE>. Head and tail can be started in any order.
* <CODE>;bigshot display</CODE> - Shows all your current settings.
* <CODE>;bigshot reset</CODE> - Resets your targetable and untargetable lists. Useful if Bigshot will not target something it should.
* <CODE>;bigshot ranger</CODE> or <CODE>;bigshot companion</CODE> - Resets the ranger companion setting so you can reconfigure it. Use this when you change your companion.
* <CODE>;bigshot profile save <name></CODE> - Saves a profile in YAML format to your character's profile folder. Also accessible via the Profiles tab.
* <CODE>;bigshot profile load <name></CODE> - Loads a profile from your character's profile folder. Also accessible via the Profiles tab.
* <CODE>;bigshot single</CODE> - Executes a single hunting routine, returns to your resting location, and then exits.
* <CODE>;bigshot list</CODE> - Displays all initialized variable values (useful for troubleshooting).
* <CODE>;bigshot test <method> <args></CODE> - Runs a specific internal method for testing purposes.
* <CODE>;bigshot <creature></CODE> - Any input that does not match the above commands defaults to ranger tracking (e.g., <CODE>;bigshot single giant rat</CODE> will track and hunt a giant rat).

==The Profile Tab==
* '''Load Profile''' - Load an existing saved profile. The dropdown will be empty if no profiles have been saved yet.
* '''Current Profile''' - Displays the name of the currently loaded profile.
* '''Save Profile''' - Enter any name for your profile and click Save. Once saved, the profile will appear in the Load Profile dropdown.
* '''Notes''' - A freeform text area for any notes you want to associate with the profile.

==The Resting Tab==
This tab controls where and how Bigshot rests between hunts. During rest mode, Bigshot checks your mind state, hit points, wound status, mana, and spirit. Once all conditions defined in the "Should Hunt?" section are met, Bigshot leaves rest mode and begins a new hunt.

===Where to Rest===
* '''room id''' - The room Bigshot returns to for resting. Uses room numbers from Map/Go2. Supports both Lich IDs and SimuIDs (prefix SimuIDs with "u", e.g., <CODE>228</CODE> for Town Square Central or <CODE>u7120</CODE>).
* '''return waypoints''' - Optional intermediate room IDs that Bigshot will pass through when returning to rest. Separate multiple waypoints with commas.
* '''pre-rest commands''' - Commands executed before entering rest mode. Example: <CODE>shea, wear shield, sit, stance offensive, rest</CODE>. This will sheathe your weapon, wear your shield, sit down, enter offensive stance, and use the REST verb. You can also call scripts here using the <CODE>script</CODE> prefix, e.g., <CODE>script go2 place</CODE>.
* '''active resting scripts''' - Scripts that run upon entering rest mode for between-hunt tasks such as selling loot, spelling up, or healing. Example: <CODE>eloot sell, waggle, eherbs</CODE>. This will sell via eloot, spell up via waggle, then use herbs from your PACK to heal wounds.
* '''Fog Option''' - Determines how Bigshot returns to rest. Options include:
** '''None''' - Walk normally (no teleportation).
** '''130''' - Uses [[Spirit Guide (130)]] first; falls back to Symbol of Return if it fails.
** '''Symbol of Return''' - Uses Voln [[Symbol of Return]] first; falls back to 130 if it fails.
** '''Traveler's Song (1020)''' - Attempts [[Traveler's Song (1020)]] once, then continues.
** '''Familiar Gate (930)''' - Attempts [[Familiar Gate (930)]] to summon a portal and walk through it. Will perform a mana pulse if not enough mana is detected.
** '''Sigil of Escape''' - Uses [[Sigil of Escape]].
** '''Custom''' - Allows a comma-separated list of custom commands to perform.
* '''Fog ONLY if wounded or encumbered''' - When checked, Bigshot will only use the fog option if you are actually wounded or encumbered. Otherwise it walks normally.
* '''Fog twice from the Rift''' - When checked, Bigshot will double-cast the fog spell when returning from the Rift (useful since the Rift requires two uses to escape).

===Should Rest?===
Bigshot evaluates these conditions to decide when to leave a hunt and return to rest.
* '''when percent mind >='''
** Triggers resting when your mind has reached this threshold. Generally set to 100 (fried). Default is 100.
* '''and extra kills >='''
** The number of additional monsters to kill after reaching your "when percent mind" threshold and after LTE boosts are used. Set to 0 to rest immediately upon reaching the mind threshold.
* '''and used lte boosts >='''
** The number of LTE (Long-Term Experience) boosts Bigshot will attempt to use after reaching the mind threshold. Set to 0 to skip LTE boosts entirely.
* '''or percent mana <='''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when your mana percentage is at or below this value. Can be set to 0, but leaving a small buffer is useful (e.g., for Unlock (406) to open the WL Graveyard gate). If you encounter an "OOM" error, try setting this to 1.
* '''or percent encumbrance >='''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when your encumbrance reaches or exceeds this percentage.
* '''or wounded eval'''
** Allows you to set a Ruby evaluation expression to determine if you are too wounded to continue. Can trigger on bleeding, specific wound levels, inability to cast, scars, and more.

The following is a wounded evaluation that will rest whenever you have any level II wounds:
<PRE>XMLData.injuries.any?{|key,value| value["wound"] > 1} || Char.percent_health <= 70</PRE>
The following is a wound evaluation that will take you home if you can no longer cast (bleeding, nerves, level 2 head/eyes, bad scars, etc.):
<PRE>bleeding? || Char.percent_health <= 25 || [Wounds.head, Scars.head, Wounds.leftEye, Scars.leftEye, Wounds.rightEye, Scars.rightEye, Wounds.nsys, Scars.nsys].max > 1 || [Wounds.leftArm, Wounds.leftHand, Wounds.rightArm, Wounds.rightHand, Scars.leftArm, Scars.leftHand, Scars.rightArm, Scars.rightHand].max > 2 || ([Wounds.leftArm, Wounds.leftHand, Scars.leftArm, Scars.leftHand].max + [Wounds.rightArm, Wounds.rightHand, Scars.rightArm, Scars.rightHand].max) >= 3</PRE>
The following can be appended to either wound evaluation above to also rest upon having popped muscles:
<PRE>|| Effects::Debuffs.active?("Overexerted")</PRE>

* '''when creeping dread >='''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when your creeping dread level reaches or exceeds this value.
* '''when crushing dread >='''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when your crushing dread level reaches or exceeds this value.
* '''Wall of Thorns Poison'''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when you are affected by Wall of Thorns poison.
* '''Confusion Debuff'''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when you are affected by the non-dispellable Confusion debuff.
* '''Box in hand'''
** Forces Bigshot to rest if looting leaves a box in your hand.

==The Hunting Tab==
This tab controls when and where Bigshot hunts, any pre-hunt preparation, and the map boundaries for wandering.

===The Hunting Map===
Your hunting map consists of '''Boundaries''' (rooms Bigshot will never enter) and a '''Starting Room''' (the first room Bigshot moves to when a hunt begins). These function similarly to the boundaries in the ;Wander script, but are stored in Bigshot's own configuration files.

* '''starting room ID''' - The first room Bigshot travels to when beginning a hunt. Set this to any room within your boundaries.
* '''boundary rooms''' - Rooms that act as walls. Bigshot will never enter a boundary room.

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

In the diagram above, "B" is a boundary room and "A" is outside the hunting area. Rooms marked "0" are the huntable area. Bigshot will wander freely among the "0" rooms but never cross into "B" or "A".

Boundary room IDs are separated by commas. Some popular examples:

'''Rift Boundaries:'''
<PRE>
Plane 1: 2635, 12101, 12208
Plane 2: 2605, 2635, 12093
Plane 3: 2635, 12089, 12152
Plane 4: 12122, 12207, 12235
Plane 5: 2579
North Scatter: 12151, 12254, 12256, 12249, 12247, 12241
South Scatter: 12151, 12219, 12217, 12233, 12237, 12239
</PRE>

'''Maaghara Boundaries:'''
<PRE>9734</PRE>

'''Confluence Boundaries:'''
<PRE>2300, 3519, 228, 188, 1932, 10855, 3668, 1438, 1005</PRE>

Imagine a hunting area that is a six-room square. To enter this square, you must GO DOORWAY from room A. You would set room A (outside the square, before the doorway) as a boundary. Then set room B (just inside the square) as the starting room. Bigshot will move to room B and wander within the bounded area until your "Should Rest?" conditions are met.

* '''rally point rooms''' - Optional intermediate room IDs Bigshot will pass through on the way to the hunting area. Separate multiple rooms with commas.

===Hunting Settings===
* '''wait before wandering to another room''' - Time in seconds Bigshot waits before leaving a room to look for creatures. Default is 0.3. Set to 0 for fastest (but spammy) movement.
* '''attack stance''' - The stance Bigshot switches to when issuing attack commands. Bigshot remains in defensive stance until an attack is triggered, then stances to your specified attack stance. Recognizes all game stances from Offensive through Defensive.
* '''wander stance''' - The stance Bigshot uses while moving between rooms. Defaults to Defensive.
* '''stand up stance''' - The stance Bigshot enters when standing up after being knocked down. Defaults to Defensive.
* '''pre-hunt commands''' - Commands executed before Bigshot uses Go2 to travel to your starting room. Example: <CODE>gird, stance defensive</CODE>. This ensures your weapon is readied and you are in defensive stance before traveling. Use this line for short-lived combat spells like 1605 (Arm of the Arkati).
* '''active hunting scripts''' - Scripts that run while Bigshot is in hunt mode. Use these for complex behaviors that Bigshot does not natively support (e.g., keeping certain spells active or executing CMANs based on conditions).
* '''society abilities/spells/cmans''' - Abilities Bigshot keeps active during a hunt. Enter numerical designations separated by commas. For example, entering <CODE>506</CODE> keeps Haste up, recasting whenever it wears off. Hover over this field in the GUI for a list of supported values. Supported options include spells that can be ignored by rapidfire cooldown: e.g., <CODE>515 (ignore)</CODE> or <CODE>rapidfire (ignore)</CODE>.
* '''loot script''' - The script Bigshot calls to loot your kills (e.g., <CODE>eloot</CODE>). Make sure the loot script is properly configured via its own SETUP command, or Bigshot may error.
* '''wracking spirit >=''' - If your spirit is greater than or equal to this value, Bigshot will WRACK for mana. Setting it to 6 will wrack down to 5 spirit. Only functions when the wracking checkbox is enabled.
* '''Use sign of wracking/sigil of power''' - Checkbox to enable wracking.
* '''Check for favor before using Voln symbols''' - Checkbox to verify you have sufficient favor before casting Voln society symbols.
* '''Priority hunt''' - When enabled, Bigshot targets creatures in the order listed in your valid targets field. If a higher-priority creature enters the room, Bigshot switches to it. When using <CODE>;bigshot quick</CODE>, quickhunt targets take priority, followed by any remaining targets in room order.
* '''Delay looting''' - Delays the looting of creatures in a room.
* '''Defensive stance before looting''' - Switches to defensive stance before looting begins.
* '''Pull players to feet''' - Attempts to pull players to their feet when passing them.
* '''Stop for dead players''' - Pauses Bigshot if you encounter a dead player.
* '''Troubadour's Rally''' - Enables the use of Troubadour's Rally during hunts.
* '''Sneaky Sneaky''' - Sneak around while moving through the hunting area.

===Should Hunt?===
Bigshot evaluates these conditions to determine if you are ready to begin a hunt from rest.
* '''when percent mind <='''
** Setting this to 51 will wait until "Clear". Setting it to 65 will wait until "Muddled".
* '''and percent mana >='''
** The percentage of your maximum mana that must be present before hunting. Setting below 50 results in short hunts if you cast frequently. Generally set to 95 or higher.
* '''and CHECK spirit >='''
** Bigshot checks that your current spirit value is at least this amount. Make sure this is high enough that Bigshot will not immediately hunt after DEPARTing if you have the "Depart / re-run" option enabled on the Monitoring tab.
* '''and percent stamina >='''
** The percentage of your maximum stamina that must be present before hunting. Useful for melee-heavy builds that rely on stamina for CMANs and MSTRIKEs.

==The Attacking Tab==
This tab controls aiming, flee conditions, and various combat behavior toggles.

* '''Ambush aiming locations (head, etc)''' - The order Bigshot aims when ambushing. Default is head, right leg, left leg, chest. Bigshot cycles through these and skips locations that are too injured or unreachable.
* '''Archery aiming locations (head, etc)''' - The order Bigshot aims when using archery attacks. Loops through your aiming list.
* '''flee if enemy count is >''' - Flees the room if the total number of enemies exceeds this value. Set to 1 to engage only single targets.
* '''...but don't count these''' - Bigshot ignores these monsters when evaluating flee count. Useful when low-level monsters are mixed into your hunting area.
* '''...and always flee from''' - Bigshot immediately flees from these monsters. Useful when your hunting area has higher-level or dangerous monsters mixed in.
* '''flee from environment message''' - Bigshot flees whenever the game sends a message matching this text (uses XML regex matching).
* '''wait before wandering to another room''' - Time in seconds before moving to a new room. Default is 0.3. Set to 0 to move instantly (can be spammy for others in the area).
* '''Approach lone targets only''' - Forces Bigshot to only begin combat against creatures that are alone in a room.
* '''Bless weapon?''' - Performs a Consecrate (1604), then a Cleric Bless or Voln Bless on any weapon that loses its bless during hunting. If unable to bless during hunting, Bigshot returns to the rest area and quits.
* '''Activate weapon reactions''' - Initiates reactive strikes when the opportunity presents itself.
* '''Flee from clouds''' - Flees from cloud spells such as 125 (Call Lightning/Ominous Cloud), 1704 (Stun Cloud), and 1713 (Death Cloud).
* '''Flee from vines''' - Flees from vine spells such as 610 (Tangle Weed).
* '''Flee from webs''' - Flees from webs.
* '''Flee from voids''' - Flees from voids.

==Commands Tab==
This is the core of Bigshot — where you define your attack routines.

* '''hunting commands (a)''' - The primary commands Bigshot executes when in a room with a valid target. Commands are separated by commas. Bigshot recognizes most hunting verbs; unrecognized commands are sent directly as-is via fput. The following are recognized hunting commands:
** '''kill''' - Attacks using the KILL verb.
** '''incant <spell number>''' - Casts the specified spell with INCANT. Automatically stances into offensive for bolt and stance-sensitive spells. You can CHANNEL via <CODE>INCANT SET CHANNEL <spell></CODE> (a standard GSIV verb) or by setting <CODE>SET ChannelIncant ON</CODE>, which will CHANNEL an INCanted spell if you are in a stance higher than neutral.
** '''channel <spell number>''' - Channels the specified spell at the target. Requires a stance higher than neutral to have effect.
** '''<spell number>''' - Casts the specified spell using PREPARE and CAST.
** '''wand''' - Gets a wand from your specified container and WAVEs it at the target.
** '''wandolier''' - Similar to wand, but designed for wandoliers. Gets a wand from the fresh wand container and waves it; rubs the container if no wands are found. Default waves in offensive stance. Use <CODE>wandolier defensive</CODE> to wave in a different stance.
** '''fire''' - Gets ammunition from your specified container and FIREs at the target. Aims based on Archery aiming settings on the Attacking tab.
** '''aim <location>''' - Aims at the specified body location.
** '''ambush''' - Uses the AMBUSH verb to attack, aiming based on Attacking tab settings. Can also aim dynamically: <CODE>ambush head</CODE> overrides default settings for that attack.
** '''wait <time>''' - Stance dances by going into Defensive stance for the specified time (in seconds). Bigshot will exit early if the target swings or casts, then evaluate the rest of the attack routine from your attack stance.
** '''mstrike''' - Executes MSTRIKE based on cooldown and stamina. Has its own options page under the Misc tab. Can also be used with UAC: <CODE>mstrike punch</CODE>.
** '''berserk''' - Executes the BERSERK verb and waits until it fades.
** '''throw''' - Empties hands, attempts throw, then retrieves the items you emptied.
** '''weed/kweed''' - Casts 610 at the target. Using <CODE>kweed</CODE> forces EVOKE 610, ensuring the damage version.
** '''curse <type>''' - Preps 715 and uses the specified curse type. Valid types: Clumsy, Weakness, Darkness, Itch, Hex, Pox, Nightmare, Star. Skips "curse star" if the buff is already active.
** '''unarmed <type>''' - Uses the Bigshot UAC routine. Valid types: punch, jab, kick, grapple. The routine uses appropriate attacks to rank up and applies MSTRIKE based on MSTRIKE options. Example: <CODE>unarmed jab</CODE>.
** '''smite''' - Performs an [[Order of Voln]] [[Kai's_Smite|Smite]] on the target until successful.
** '''leech''' - Performs a [[Mana Leech (516)]] on the target if cooldown is under 15 minutes.
** '''script <script name>''' - Executes a specified custom attack script.
** '''hide''' - Repeatedly attempts to hide until successful or gives up.
** '''sleep <nostance>''' - Pauses Bigshot for the specified number of seconds. Example: <CODE>sleep 10</CODE> or <CODE>sleep 10 nostance</CODE>. Useful for timed hunting, e.g., <CODE>410, sleep 15</CODE> will E-wave, then wait 15 seconds before re-evaluating.
** '''stance <stance>''' - Changes stance. Example: <CODE>stance defensive</CODE>.
** '''nudgeweapons''' - Moves all weapons on the ground to an adjacent room. Useful for casting Implosion (720).
** '''force <cmd> until <endroll>''' - Repeats a command until a desired endroll is achieved. Example: <CODE>force incant 1002 until 101</CODE>. Only works for standard swings/spells/CMANs.
** '''eachtarget <cmd>''' - Issues the command against each valid target in the room.
** '''efury <fire|cold>''' - Casts Earthen Fury (917) on the target and waits for the DOT to end or 12 seconds to pass.
** '''caststop <spell>''' - Casts the spell and immediately stops it after casting.
** '''wield <noun> <left|right>''' - Wields a new item in the specified hand and stores the current item.
** '''store''' - Stores items in left, right, or both hands (only if something is in those hands).
** '''tether <recast>''' - Casts 706 with built-in wait logic. The optional <CODE>recast</CODE> flag will auto-recast 706 on creature death and transfer DOTs to a new target.
** '''unravel <spell>''' - Casts 1013 (Song of Unravelling). Optionally specify a spell number to target against the creature.
** '''depress''' - Casts 1015 (Song of Depression) with built-in logic.
** '''phase''' - Force-casts 704 (Phase) using PREP/CAST, required for NPC targeting to convert non-corporeal to corporeal undead.

===Additional Command Sets===
* '''hunting commands (b) through (j)''' - Additional attack routines tied to creature flags. When you flag a creature in your valid targets (e.g., <CODE>niirsha(b)</CODE>), Bigshot uses the matching command set. This allows different attack strategies for different creature types.
* '''fried hunting commands''' - Commands executed specifically when your mind is fried. Useful in group hunting where you still want to contribute.
* '''quick hunting commands''' - Commands executed when using <CODE>;bigshot quick</CODE>.
* '''valid targets''' - The monsters you are hunting. Bigshot works best with creature NOUNs (e.g., <CODE>ogre</CODE> instead of <CODE>a large ogre</CODE>). Use commas to separate multiple targets: <CODE>manticore, thrak</CODE>. If left blank, Bigshot will target everything in the room. Supports regex for advanced matching.
* '''quickhunt targets''' - Designated targets for the <CODE>;bigshot quick</CODE> option.

===PSM3 Integration===
Bigshot supports weapon/shield skills and warcries. Assaults wait until they finish or are interrupted. The following are recognized PSM3 commands:

'''Assaults''' (wait until completed/interrupted):
* barrage, flurry, fury, gthrusts, pummel, thrash
* fury can specify a default attack: <CODE>fury punch</CODE> or <CODE>fury kick</CODE> (defaults to jab)

'''Setups''' (execute on cooldown — pair with prone/stun/root checks):
* charge, cripple, dizzyingswing, pindown, twinhammer

'''AOE''' (execute on cooldown — limit with mob checks):
* clash, cyclone, pulverize, volley, wblade, whirlwind

'''Warcries:'''
* '''shout''' - Performs warcry Shout. Must use a command check or it will shout every loop: <CODE>shout(!shout)</CODE> or <CODE>shout(buff10 s25)</CODE>

* '''holler''' - Performs warcry Holler, taunting all mobs. Example: <CODE>holler(s60)</CODE>
* '''bellow, growl, cry''' - Offensive warcries. Use with <CODE>target</CODE> for single target or <CODE>all</CODE> for AOE.

'''Shield Skills:'''
* shield bash, shield charge, shield pin, shield push, shield strike, shield trample, shield throw

'''Combat Maneuvers:'''
* '''surge''' - Keeps Surge of Strength active. <CODE>surge</CODE> or <CODE>surge(surge)</CODE> casts even on cooldown; <CODE>surge(!surge)</CODE> only casts when not on cooldown.

===Command Checks===
Command checks let you add conditions to any command. The format is:
<CODE>COMMAND (CHECKS)(REPETITIONS)</CODE>

Example: <CODE>hamstring (mob1 prone)(x2)</CODE>. The (x#) repetition must be in a separate set of parentheses. Note that (xx) is shorthand for (x5), not unlimited.

Checks can be combined inside a single set of parentheses with spaces between them. Example: <CODE>kill(m20 s5 e20)</CODE>

Each check also has an inverse — prefix with <CODE>!</CODE> to negate. Example: <CODE>kill(!m20 !s5 !e20)</CODE>

===Example Attack Routines===
<PRE>wait 10, kill (x3)</PRE>
Waits 10 seconds for the monster to swing or cast, then counter-attacks from your specified attack stance. Swings three times, then goes back to defensive and waits again.

<PRE>wait 15, incant 505, incant 903 (xx)</PRE>
Waits 15 seconds, then INCants 505 (Hand of Tonis) to knock down or stun the target. Follows up with repeated casts of 903 (Minor Water) until the target is dead (up to 5 times).

<PRE>stance defensive and incant 1615, kill (x100)</PRE>
Casts 1615 (Divine Strike) from defensive stance, then uses KILL continuously until the target is dead or 100 swings (whichever comes first).

<PRE>force feint until 101, kill (x2)</PRE>
Uses FEINT against the target until a successful endroll, then hits twice before trying FEINT again.

<PRE>stance defensive and hide, ambush left leg</PRE>
Hides from defensive stance, then ambushes the target's left leg. Repeats (hides again) after roundtime.

<PRE>incant 720(m50), incant 708, incant 702 channel(xx)</PRE>
Casts 720 (Implosion) if you have 50+ mana, then INCants 708 (Limb Disruption) at the default aim location, then channels 702 (Mana Disruption) up to 5 times or until dead.

<PRE>prep 708, cast at left leg / prep 708 channel at left leg, incant 719 (m50)(x1), incant 702 (xx)</PRE>
Prepares 708 and CASTs at the left leg. The second variant prepares and CHANNELs at the left leg. Then casts 719 (Dark Catalyst) once if 50+ mana. Finally, INCants 702 until the creature is dead.

<PRE>wait 30, unarmed punch</PRE>
Waits 30 seconds or until the target attacks, then begins UAC combat using Punch to tier up.

<PRE>shield charge (s15 prone), ambush, mstrike</PRE>
Shield charges the target if you have 15+ stamina and the target is NOT prone. Then ambushes based on Attacking tab settings (cycling through configured aim locations). Then MSTRIKEs — focused if below the creature threshold, unfocused if at or above it. Use <CODE>mstrike target</CODE> to always focus, or set unfocused threshold very high.

<PRE>bellow all, wblade(mob3), flurry(!flurry), attack</PRE>
AOE bellows, then Whirling Blade if 3+ targets. Flurries if the Slashing Strikes buff is not active. Falls back to basic attack.

<PRE>holler, shield throw(mob3), flurry, thrash, attack</PRE>
Taunts with Holler, Shield Throws if 3+ targets, Flurries on cooldown, Thrashes on cooldown, and attacks as a fallback.

<PRE>shroud(s35 !hidden mob2), divert (s25 hidden mob2), ambush(hidden), flurry, attack</PRE>
If 2+ mobs: hides with Shroud (35 stamina, not already hidden), then Diverts one target (25 stamina, must be hidden). Ambushes if hidden, Flurries on cooldown, attacks as fallback.

<PRE>surge(!surge), bullrush, bearhug, pummel, attack</PRE>
Keeps Surge active (casting only when not on cooldown). Bullrush to apply vulnerable, Bearhug (faster on vulnerable targets), Pummel on cooldown, attack as fallback.

<PRE>surge, shout(buff10), shield strike, pummel(buff60), attack(x2)</PRE>
Keeps Surge active (casting even during cooldown for 60 stamina). Shouts when less than 11 seconds remain on the buff. Shield Strikes, Pummels once per minute, finishes with 2 attacks.

<PRE>pindown(mob4), volley(mob2), weed(!vigor !reflex), barrage(!barrage), incant 616 (m16 reflex), fire</PRE>
Pin Down if 4+ targets, Volley if 2+ targets. Tangleweed if missing Vigor and Reflex buffs. Barrage if missing Enhanced Dexterity. Spike Thorn (616) if 16+ mana and Arcane Reflex is active. Fire as fallback.

===Hunting Target Examples===
All examples below work for both "valid targets" and "quickhunt targets."

A simple target list using default commands (a) for each creature:
<PRE>crazed zombie, niirsha, sacristan spirit</PRE>

Using different command sets per creature — (a) for zombies and spirits, (b) for niirsha:
<PRE>crazed zombie(a), niirsha(b), sacristan spirit(a)</PRE>

Including [[:Category:Boss creatures|Boss Creature]] variations as valid targets using regex:
<PRE>(?:adroit |afflicted |apt |barbed |belligerent |blurry |canny |combative |dazzling |deft |diseased |drab |dreary |ethereal |flashy |flexile |flickering |flinty |frenzied |ghastly |ghostly |gleaming |glittering |glorious |glowing |grotesque |hardy |illustrious |indistinct |keen |lanky |luminous |lustrous |muculent |nebulous |oozing |pestilent |radiant |raging |ready |resolute |robust |rune-covered |shadowy |shielded |shifting |shimmering |shining |sickly green |sinuous |slimy |sparkling |spindly |spiny |stalwart |steadfast |stout |tattooed |tenebrous |tough |twinkling |unflinching |unyielding |wavering |wispy )?crazed zombie, niirsha, sacristan spirit</PRE>

Advanced regex for Grimswarm hunting with different commands per class:

==Boon Creatures Tab==
Boss creatures (also called the Boss Creature System) upgrades newly created creatures into bosses, minibosses, or packs. Upgraded creatures have their level and basic stats boosted, and are granted a number of special abilities called '''boons''', which are denoted by a special adjective in the creature's name. Players have alternatively called these "glam critters," "gifted creatures," or "boosted critters."

Additional details are available on the GemStone Wiki: [https://gswiki.play.net/Category:Boss_creatures Category:Boss creatures]

The Boon Creatures tab provides granular control over how Bigshot handles each boon ability. Bigshot uses the ASSESS verb to identify which boons a creature has, then checks your configuration to decide how to respond.

===How It Works===
For each boon ability, you can choose one of three actions:
* '''Common''' - Treat as a normal target and fight it. Uses your hunting commands to kill. Still requires proper valid target matching to engage. This is also the default behavior if no selection is made.
* '''Ignore''' - Skip this creature entirely; do not engage it.
* '''Flee''' - Immediately flee from the room when this boon type is detected.

===Master Toggle===
At the top of the tab is an '''All Boon Creatures''' section with Common, Ignore, and Flee checkboxes. These act as master toggles — checking one will set every individual boon ability across all groups to that action. If all individual items are already set to the same action and you uncheck the "All" toggle, everything gets unchecked.

===Boon Groups===
The individual boon abilities are organized into four collapsible groups, each with its own group-level toggle row ("Entire Group") and individual per-ability rows:

====Immunity====
Boons that make the creature resistant or immune to certain damage types or effects.
{| class="wikitable"

===Usage Tips===
* If you are a melee character who struggles with '''Stun Immune''' or '''Crit Death Immune''' creatures, set those to Ignore or Flee while leaving others on Common.
* Casters may want to Flee from '''Dispelling''' and '''Magic Resistance''' boons.
* '''Weaken''' is actually beneficial — the creature is weaker than normal, so leaving it on Common is usually best.
* '''Cheat Death''' creatures will revive after dying; consider Ignore if your build cannot handle killing them twice.
* The configuration is saved per profile, so you can have different boon strategies for different hunting areas.

== Misc Tab==
Various specialized configuration options.

===UAC Options===
Options for configuring Unarmed Combat (UAC):
* '''Tier 3 Attack''' - The attack used when you have reached "excellent" positioning. Options: jab, punch, grapple, or kick.
* '''Aim at location (head, etc)''' - Used for aimed UAC combat, which requires ambush training to be effective. Leave blank if you do not want to aim.
* '''MSTRIKE when creatures equal or greater''' - How many creatures must be present before using MSTRIKE during UAC.
* '''Use Voln SMITE?''' - Will perform a Voln SMITE on [[Non-corporeal]] undead.

'''Quick Setup:''' Bigshot only requires minimal configuration for UAC to work well:
# '''UAC options:''' Set your '''Tier 3 Attack''' (jab, punch, grapple, or kick).
# '''Commands tab:''' Set your '''hunting commands (a)''' to '''unarmed jab'''.

Important notes about UAC in Bigshot:
* <CODE>unarmed jab</CODE> can be replaced with any UAC attack type (e.g., <CODE>unarmed punch</CODE>).
* UAC follow-up strikes take priority over the base or Tier 3 attack.
* Tier 3 attacks are only used when positioning is "excellent".
* There is almost no reason to use anything other than <CODE>unarmed jab</CODE> as the hunting command and either <CODE>grapple</CODE> or <CODE>kick</CODE> as the Tier 3 attack.

===MSTRIKE Options===
Options for when and how MSTRIKE should be used:
* '''MSTRIKE during cooldown stamina requirement''' - How much stamina you need before Bigshot will MSTRIKE during the MSTRIKE cooldown period. Be careful setting this too low, as it can pop your muscles. Leave blank to use your max stamina.
* '''QUICKSTRIKE stamina requirement''' - Stamina required for using QUICKSTRIKE during the MSTRIKE routine.
* '''Unfocused MSTRIKE when creatures equal or greater''' - Number of creatures in the room before Bigshot uses an unfocused (AOE) MSTRIKE instead of a focused one. Default is 2.
* '''MSTRIKE during cooldown''' - Toggle to allow MSTRIKEing during the cooldown period.
* '''Use QUICKSTRIKE for MSTRIKE''' - Toggle to use QUICKSTRIKE instead of normal MSTRIKE.

===Ammo/Wands===
Settings for ammunition and wand management. If your attack routine uses FIRE or WAND verbs, these fields must be configured or Bigshot will hang.

* '''find ammo in this container''' - The container holding your ammunition (quiver, backpack, etc.). Leave BLANK if using FIRE without retrieving ammo (post-Archery 2020 Update).
* '''use this ammo type''' - The noun of your ammo type. Leave BLANK to use FIRE without retrieving ammo. Be precise with the noun — Bigshot is sensitive to exact naming here.
* '''fresh wand container''' - The container Bigshot checks for fresh wands to WAVE.
* '''dead wand container''' - The container where Bigshot deposits used-up wands.
* '''use this wand type''' - The specific wand type(s) to use. Bigshot only pulls these for WAVEing. Separate multiple types with commas. Example: <CODE>aquamarine wand, bloodwood wand</CODE>
* '''Hide while waiting to pick up ammo''' - Bigshot will hide when gathering spent arrows and bolts.
* '''Use wands when out of mana''' - When out of mana, Bigshot pulls the specified wand type, stances to your attack stance, and WAVEs at valid targets until out of wands or resting conditions are met.

===MA Grouping===
Multi-account grouping options:
* '''Looter name''' - The name of the character designated as the looter in Head/Tail configuration.
* '''No-looting list''' - Comma-separated list of characters who should never be assigned looting duty.
* '''Random looting''' - Distributes looting randomly based on encumbrance rather than assigning a fixed looter.
* '''Leader final loot''' - Allows the leader to perform a final loot pass before leaving a room.
* '''Travel TO hunting grounds independently''' - When enabled, group members travel to the hunting area on their own rather than as a group. Bigshot will disband the group and force GROUP OPEN after disbanding.
* '''Travel FROM hunting grounds independently''' - When enabled, group members return from the hunting area on their own.
* '''Stop for dead group members''' - Pauses the group if a follower dies during a hunt.

==Monitoring Tab==
Options for safety, interaction monitoring, and debugging.

* '''Monitor interaction''' - Pops up a window whenever Bigshot detects that someone or something is trying to interact with you. Customizable monitor strings and safe strings can be configured.
* '''Engage deadman's switch''' - Forces Bigshot to quit GemStone IV when your character drops below 40% health, allowing you to log back on and assess the situation manually.
* '''Depart/rerun if dead''' - Forces a DEPART (waking up in the Temple with low spirit), then restarts Bigshot for a fresh hunt. Make sure your "CHECK spirit >=" value in Should Hunt? is set high enough to recover before the next hunt.
* '''Quiet followers''' - Followers wait until the leader finishes both actions and resting scripts before beginning their own.
* '''Ignore disk objects''' - Ignores disk objects when evaluating room claims and other checks.

===Debugging===
Bigshot provides detailed debug options for troubleshooting. Use these commands in-game:
<pre{{log2}}>
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Bigshot Debug Help v5.11.4 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Debug options have changed to be more helpful. |
+--------------------------------------+------------------------------------+
| ;bigshot debug file | Toggles logging to a file <on/off> |
| ;bigshot debug all <true/false> | Toggles true/false all the things |
| ;bigshot debug check | Lists current debug settings |
| ;bigshot debug combat <true/false> | Combat and Creature Status |
| ;bigshot debug commands <true/false> | Attacking and Casting Commands |
| ;bigshot debug status <true/false> | Status Checks of your Character |
| ;bigshot debug system <true/false> | System processes |
| | |
| Options can be combined: |
| ;bigshot debug combat commands status <true/false> |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
</pre>

Debug log files are stored in your Lich5 logs directory under <CODE>debug/<Game>-<CharacterName>/bigshot.log</CODE> and rotate daily.

Lich:Software/Installation

2026-03-17T00:25:40Z

HORIBU1: /* Installing the Latest Stable Release */ update for 5.15.1

{{3rd-party}}
=About=

Lich is an add-on scripting engine that works alongside existing front ends. The most common installation is a combination of Lich on Windows using the Wrayth or Wizard FE. Lich is also used by many on both MacOS and multiple Linux distributions.

=Installing the Latest Stable Release=

'''The latest stable lich version is 5.15.1 supporting Ruby 4.0 - published March 16, 2026'''

==In-Place Upgrade==

If you are on an older version of Lich 5 and want to upgrade to the most current version, you can choose to either upgrade Lich5 only or both Lich 5 and Ruby. If you're currently on Lich 4, able to check by running the command <CODE>;e echo LICH_VERSION</CODE>, go to the [[#Upgrade Installation for Lich 5 from Lich 4 (11/14/2023)|upgrade from Lich 4 section]].

For each section, please follow the directions/commands one at a time.

===Lich 5 Only===

====Lich 5.7 or newer====
# '''Backup existing Lich 5 folder'''
# Run this command in-game <CODE>;lich5-update --update</CODE>
# Quit and restart lich.
# Congratulations - you're now running on the latest version of Lich!

====Lich 5.6 or older====
Please proceed to updating both Ruby and Lich 5

===Both Ruby 4.0 & Lich 5===
This method is for Windows only. Linux and MacOS users, please do a Lich 5 only update and update Ruby manually via normal install/update methods for the OS.

# Logout of all characters
# '''Backup existing Lich 5 folder'''
# Uninstall existing Ruby4Lich5 installs from Programs & Features control panel, or alternatively, rename your existing Ruby4Lich5 folder to Ruby4Lich5save. (Defaults to C:\Ruby4Lich5)
# Download the latest [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer]
# Run the installer and be sure to have both Ruby and Lich 5 option selected
# Congratulations - you're now running on the latest version of Lich & Ruby!

===Ruby 4.0 Only===
Use this to upgrade to the newest version of Ruby only if you're already on the latest version of Lich5 and now want to update Ruby afterwards. If you're not already on the latest version of Lich5, please use previous section steps instead.
# Logout of all instances/characters
# '''Backup existing Lich 5 folder'''
# Uninstall your existing Ruby4Lich5 install via Programs & Features (ensure it's now gone, default location was C:\Ruby4Lich5)
# Download the latest [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer]
# Run the new installer and choose to only install Ruby Only
# Congratulations - you're now running on the latest version Ruby!

==Windows New Installation==

{{blue|These instructions are not for DragonRealms. [[#Ecosystem Information|For those scroll to the bottom]].}}

'''For Windows 11 / 10 / 8 / 7''' users: you can download the [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer] and install everything you need automatically. Click on the '''Ruby4Lich5.exe''' and download it to your computer then double click on the executable in your default download folder. Note, a user may need to adjust their browser or security settings to allow download and installation.
If you have never played before, follow the 'New Installation' instructions. If you have played before, and have used Lich before, follow the 'Upgrade Installation' instructions.

===New Installation for Lich 5 (11/14/2023)===

# '''Please log into the game of your choice through the Simutronics website first'''. Install the launcher (not SGE), and install your FrontEnd of Choice. The Wrayth FrontEnd is presently the supported FrontEnd, but Wizard will work as well, if you are nostalgic. After you've logged in, log out and continue.
# Download and Run the [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/Ruby4Lich5.exe Ruby4Lich5.exe Installer]. You will receive the Microsoft Warning because this is not distributed through the MS Store. Click on 'More Info' and then select the 'Run Anyway' button.
# The installation may take a few minutes, especially on non-SSD harddrives.
# A Lich5 folder will be placed on your desktop after the install is finished, open that folder and double click the lich.rbw file contained inside to start Lich's Game Entry window.
# Use your existing Simutronics Account and Password and click connect. Then select the character you wish to play, and select the FrontEnd you wish to use. Then click the Play button.
# Your game FrontEnd should start, and you should see Lich5 initializing. You will see it downloading files - these are the map files, wait for the download to finish.

===Upgrade Installation for Lich 5 from Lich 4 (11/14/2023)===

This option is deprecated. Lich 5 architectures are not compatible with Lich 4. Back up your existing Lich 4 folder, uninstall any existing Ruby executables, and then follow the instructions for a new install above.

Additional assistance in installation can be found in the scripting channel of the GemStone [https://discord.gg/KF9Wr8u Discord].

==MacOS==
There two common options for playing Gemstone IV on a Mac is either to play natively with Avalon or to use virtualization software such as Parallels with Wrayth/WizardFE. Below are the options on how to do that.

===Native Avalon===
Players with Macs can use [[Mac_Installation_-_Lich_(software) | Installing Lich on Macs]] for installation help. This process works well for Mac OS Catalina and Big Sur. If you have not updated your Mac OS yet, these instructions may work depending on your actual version. If you run into a snag, follow the contact instructions provided.

===Parallels Windows===
'''The following only pertains to Apple Silicon based Macs. If you have an Intel based Mac, you can use the normal Windows installation procedures instead.'''

To install Wrayth/WizardFE, Lich, and Ruby via Parallels you will need to do a few various steps as outlined below. Please note, the rubyw file in C:\Ruby4Lich5\X.X.X\bin may be set to run in compatibility mode for windows 7. On an ARM Mac running parallels, this causes Wrayth scripts not to run. Turning compatibility mode off in the rubyw file fixes this issue if it was enabled.

<div class="mw-customtoggle-debian" style="font-size:16px;overflow:auto;color:#0000FF">[Click to Expand]</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-debian">
The following steps are to be done AFTER you've successfully installed Wrayth/WizardFE and can login normally without Lich5 on the machine. Once you've done that and can successful connect normally, then follow these steps:
# Download and install [https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller2/releases/download/RubyInstaller-3.4.3-1/rubyinstaller-devkit-3.4.3-1-x86.exe Ruby 3.4.3 x86 (32bit) Installer] and use default options presented during install
# Open a Command Prompt and issue the following command to install the necessary gems, this process will take awhile (at least 30 mins)<pre>gem install ascii_charts concurrent-ruby curses ftools gtk3 json jwt logger mechanize nokogiri redis sequel sqlite3 terminal-table tomlib tzinfo tzinfo-data webrick xmpp4r --no-document</pre>
# Download and extract the Lich5 latest [https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/lich-5.zip lich-5.zip] to somewhere you want it stored (usually desktop)
# Double click the lich.rbw file that is now located in the extracted Lich5 location you did above. Login and play as usual.
</div>

==Chromebook & Debian variants==
<div class="mw-customtoggle-debian" style="font-size:16px;overflow:auto;color:#0000FF">[Click to Expand]</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-debian">
The following steps should install Lich and Profanity for users of Debian/Chromebooks. Profanity is a terminal-based Front-End that will let you play the game (in lieu of The Wizard or Wrayth).

Update the list of available software and make sure some requirements are installed:

<pre>
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y install autoconf bison build-essential curl libssl-dev libyaml-dev libreadline6-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm6 libgdbm-dev libsqlite3-dev git unzip
</pre>

Install '''<tt>[https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv rbenv]</tt>''', a Ruby version manager. Add it to the <tt>PATH</tt> so that it will work outside of its own directory, and set it up to work when you launch the shell (terminal):
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
</pre>

Run the shell's launch script now to enable those two changes and get rbenv working:
<pre>
source ~/.bashrc
</pre>

Download the tools to let rbenv install Ruby on its own, then install Ruby 3.4.4 and set it to be our default version of Ruby system-wide:
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
rbenv install 4.0.1 -v
rbenv global 4.0.1
</pre>

Install Lich:
<pre>
cd ~
curl -L "https://github.com/elanthia-online/lich-5/releases/latest/download/lich-5.zip" -o temp.zip && unzip temp.zip -d ./ && rm temp.zip
</pre>

Tell Ruby not to create documentation for its gems (plugins/packages) unless asked, because it takes a long time and they are available online. Then install the dependencies for Lich and Profanity using Ruby's Gemfile that in included with Lich-5 now by using `bundle install` as shown below:
<pre>
echo "gem: --no-document" > ~/.gemrc
cd ~/lich-5
bundle install
</pre>

Profanity:
<pre>
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/elanthia-online/ProfanityFE.git
</pre>

Please refer to the '''[[Profanity | Profanity FE]]''' page for initial configuration and additional instructions.

Fash'lo'nae's Tutelage

2026-02-25T00:07:11Z

HORIBU1: /* Analyze */ add closing pre tag

<table><tr valign="top"><td>
Introduced at the February 20206 run of [[:Category:Duskruin|Duskruin]], "Fash'lo'nae's Tutelage" is a [[SimuCoin]] item that is available at Major Events. It provides a 5x multiplier for up to 100,000 bonus experience per week, activating once the [[Gift of Lumnis]] cycle ends. It costs 3,500 SimuCoins and lasts for 90 days.

{{TOC limit|2}}
==Analyze==
<pre{{log2}}>
You analyze the bronze disc and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
The arcane symbols on the disc shift and dance before your eyes.

When claimed using REDEEM, this item grants Fash'lo'nae's Tutelage for 90 days. When your Gift of Lumnis ends, Fash'lo'nae's Tutelage will activate, granting 5x experience absorption until you have gained 100,000 bonus experience in this fashion.

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

==Additional Information==
Once Redeemed, when you type EXP, you will see:

Activating
: You feel a heightened understanding of events around you. Knowledge that is not your own teases at the edges of your mind, luring your thoughts down forbidden alleyways and into dark shadows where unknown secrets await.

Expiring
: The feeling of heightened understanding departs, leaving behind a cold hunger for forbidden knowledge that is slow to fade.

Taken from the pinned FAQs in the discord forum.
# It will reset with the start of our Lumnis Cycle. If you do not utilize it in full before the end of your cycle, the excess will be lost.

Locker

2026-02-23T18:31:43Z

HORIBU1: fix missing pre tags

{{TOCright}} '''Lockers''' are storage units in which adventurers can store items safely when they do not want to carry them on their person.

==Item Limits==

{| {{prettytable|float:right;}}
|- bgcolor=lightblue
!Status !!Items
|-
|Prime Account ||50
|-
|[[Premium subscription]] ||+50
|-
|[[Platinum subscription]] ||+50
|-
|[[CHE|House]] Member ||+50
|-
|}[[F2P]] subscriptions have no base access to a locker. Characters on a [[standard subscription]] (also known as a prime account) have base access to 50 item slots while those on a [[premium subscription]] have base access to 100 item slots, and those on a [[Platinum Subscription]] have base access to 150 item slots. If a character is in any of the [[Co-operative Houses of Elanthia]], they will add +50 to the base item slots for whichever account type they are on. Locker capacities may also be increased through the [[Simucoin]] Store or occasionally through [[giftbox|giftboxes]]. There is a maximum of +750 total item slots; if the maximum is exceeded, a [[GameMaster]] will need to assist with what is leftover.

When {{boldmono|[[OPEN (verb)|OPEN]]}}ed, the locker will give messaging reflecting how many items it is holding and what the capacity is. One can {{boldmono|[[INSPECT (verb)|INSPECT]]}} the locker to get updated information.

<pre{{log2}}>
>open locker

As you open the locker, you hear the faint creak of a pulley turning behind the wall. Descending from above, a weapon rack, armor stand, and clothing wardrobe come to rest at your feet. Two panels slide open on the floor, and a magical item bin and a deep chest rise up from their hidden depths.

Your locker is currently holding 19 items out of a maximum of 100.

You place the traveller's cloak in the locker, and it quickly disappears.

>inspect locker
Your locker is currently holding 20 items out of a maximum of 100.
</pre>

==Family Vault==
With the release of [[Locker Updates and Family Vaults]] an account now has access to a Family Vault at their local locker. Family vaults are account-wide lockers that allow all characters on a single account to access a shared locker. F2P characters are ineligible (they're restricted to 1 character per account, so there's no need for one). Basic subscribers have a base capacity of 25 items and Premium and Platinum subscribers have a base capacity of 50 items. Like existing lockers, in the future, expansion slots will be available to increase the base numbers that are separate from the locker contracts. To start using a family locker, a character simply needs to visit a local locker and open it. A new dark stained antique oak trunk bound in wrought iron will be revealed in the room.

==Moving Lockers==

Lockers can be moved from one town to another but at a cost in both silvers and time which varies based upon game subscription level. This service can be accessed by visiting each town's local moving company office.

|-
|How to use the Locker Moving Company's services:
#go to any Moving Company
#ask clerk about rates
#ask clerk about shipping
#say yes
#say <the town where you want your locker>
#say <the town your locker currently is in>
#choose one <Standard, Express, Immediate> and say your choice

*This process swaps your locker between the two towns you specified.
*Any moving company can serve you, no matter which lockers you want to swap. You do not have to be in the same town as either locker.
*These town names seem to work, though a few others are possible: Wehnimer's Landing, Teras Isle, Icemule Trace, Kraken's Fall, Solhaven, River's Rest, Cysaegir, Ta'Illistim, Ta'Vaalor, Zul Logoth, Four Winds Isle.
*You can not abbreviate most of the town names shorter than 5 characters: wehni, teras, icemu. krake, solha, river, cysae, illis (or ta'ill), vaalo (or ta'vaa), zul l (must have a space), four w (must have a space).
*Note that the "immediate" option seems to actually take about 1-2 minutes, and during those couple of minutes, you are not allowed to initiate moving other lockers.
*In at least some locations, a promissory note is an acceptable form of payment.
*If your House does not have lockers in a particular location, the clerk will refuse to provide a transfer service:
<pre{{log2}}>
>ask clerk about cysaegir
The young clerk kindly informs you that your House does not maintain lockers there and refuses the business.
</pre>
|}

<pre{{log2}}>
>ask clerk about shipping
The young clerk smiles sunnily at you, "Moving, are we? How nice!" she says. The young clerk consults somes files, running a delicate finger down each page as she reads.

The young clerk says to you, "Would you like us to ship your locker for you?"

The young clerk smiles at you, waiting patiently for your answer.
>
The young clerk smiles and says, "If you'd like your locker moved, just ASK me. I know all ABOUT shipping."
>"Yes
You say, "Yes."
The young clerk smiles brightly. "Very good, <Player>! We offer shipping services to and from Wehnimer's Landing, Teras Isle, Icemule Trace, Solhaven, River's Rest, Ta'Illistim, Zul Logoth and Ta'Vaalor and Four Winds Isle. From which town would you like your locker shipped?"

The young clerk waits attentively for your answer.
>"Wehnimer's Landing
You say, "Wehnimer's Landing."
The young clerk smiles. "Ah, you're planning on staying a while. Now, <Player>, we're going to ship that locker from Wehnimer's Landing, but what locker did you want to exchange it with? Just SAY the name of the town!"
>
The young clerk smiles and says, "If you'd like your locker moved, just ASK me. I know all ABOUT shipping."
>"Four Winds Isle
You say, "Four Winds Isle."
The young clerk smiles. "Ah, hrmn, alrighty. Now, <Player>, we're going to ship that locker to Mist Harbor. Did you want the standard rate, express rate, or immediate rate? Go ahead and just SAY STANDARD, EXPRESS, or IMMEDIATE."
>"IMMEDIATE
You say, "IMMEDIATE."
The young clerk nods and jots something down. "Okay, it's done! Immediate rate locker shipping from Wehnimer's Landing to Mist Harbor."
You hand the young clerk 5,000 silvers.
</pre>

==Locker Manifest==
[[Premium subscription|Premium members]] automatically gain access to locker manifests through the {{boldmono|LOCKER}} verb (see below) or through a physical locker manifest which can be obtained in the [[Mist Harbor]] bank, east from the teller.

Access to {{boldmono|LOCKER MANIFEST}} can be purchased by non-Premium players in the [[SimuCoin]]s Store for 25 SCs.

==LOCKER (verb)==

The {{boldmono|LOCKER}} verb can be used to access manifests and runners. [[standard subscription|Standard subscribers]] may gain access the manifest function through the [[Simucoin]] Store for 25 SimuCoins. [[premium subscription|Premium]] and standard subscribers may also purchase access to the Locker Runner system for 300 simucoins for either 30 days of unlimited access or 60 uses over an unlimited time. The Locker Runner function will only work in places where the [[justice]] system applies (most outdoor places in towns).

<pre{{log2}}>
>locker

Usage:
LOCKER INFO - View information on the status of your locker(s).
LOCKER MANIFEST [OPTION] - View the contents of your locker. Valid options are TOWN, FAMILY VAULT, or ASTRAL VAULT.
LOCKER GET [MANIFESTID#] - Retrieve an item from your locker while in town.
To specify the item, use the item id number from LOCKER MANIFEST.
LOCKER SEND [ITEM] - Send a held item to your locker while in town.
</pre>

==SURRENDER (verb)==
<section begin=surrender />If a player finds themselves in a locker that they cannot close because there are more items in it than the locker can currently hold, the player can {{boldmono|SURRENDER {item} }}in the locker in order to alleviate the problem. This situation occurs when a player downgrades from a [[premium subscription]] or if a [[SimuCoin]] locker contract ends. The verb is only available when the locker is overfull.

The surrendered item(s) will be sent to the [[Justice#Constabulary|local justice office]] and stored in a box similar to those that hold a character's items after being arrested. This is not permanent storage and the box will only persist for two weeks. This timespan is a substantial increase in comparison to the jail mechanics.<section end=surrender />

==Troubleshooting==
;I downgraded from premium! What happens to my lockers?
If you downgrade from Premium, all of your lockers are going to consolidate into one and you won't be able to leave until you remove enough items to be able to close your locker. You will have the choice of removing them by hand or {{boldmono|SURRENDER}}ing them to pick up later (with applicable fines) as outlined below when you downgrade and attempt to open your locker:

<pre{{log2}}>Your locker is about to be converted from a premium locker to a basic locker. This means that all of your belongings, in all of your lockers will be stuffed into just one locker. You'll need to ensure that the locker, after conversion, does not exceed its standard limit before being able to close it.
You can do this by either removing items directly by hand or by temporarily SURRENDERing them to the local town officials for later pickup at the nearest justice office. If you choose to SURRENDER an item, you will need to pay any fines you may owe to the local town before you can retrieve your items.
If you're prepared to continue with the conversion please OPEN LOCKER again within in the next 15 seconds.</pre>

;I put an armor-filled backpack in and now my halfling/gnome can't pull it out!
This is related to the "You can only pick up a certain percentage of your weight" issue. Find some CON enhancives or {{boldmono|[[ASSIST (verb)|ASSIST]]}}.

;My locker isn't here! Where is it?
It's wherever you started the game, or wherever you last moved it to. You can use {{boldmono|LOCKER INFO}} or go to the local Mover's and ask them about moving your locker. Either option will tell you where your locker is.

;No, really, it says my locker isn't here but I'm in the House Annex.
Oh, that. Yeah, people post about that on the forums and a [[GameMaster]] tells them its a known issue. It comes up if you try to move your locker to a locker that hasn't been accessed in a while. Try to ask if someone can visit the annex lockers and then try to move your locker again.

;I can't figure out how to get into my locker in my House Annex.
A lot of the House Annexes have puzzles to get into the lockers. Ask on your House [[ESP]] channel or look on your house website. Or just start pulling and turning everything in the room. If you have a House pin, you can {{boldmono|TURN}} it from inside any city (except the city with the main branch) to teleport you to the local locker annex. The pins can usually be purchased near the main branch entry for a modest fee and do not degrade.

;I'm on an F2P subscription. Is there any way I can access a locker to store a few things?
An [[F2P]] subscription has no base access to a locker, but through the [[Simucoin Store]], a Basic Locker Access (30 days) token can be purchased for a temporary 10 item locker pass, and other locker upgrades may also be available for purchase.

Deed acquisition

2026-02-10T01:56:50Z

HORIBU1: fixed visual edit PRE removal errors

{{Spoiler}}

[[Deed]]s can be purchased in all cities in Elanthia. They can be purchased by solving puzzles (each location has its own puzzle) and paying in gems, coins (accepted by most puzzles) and sometimes alchemy products or other treasure items.
{{TOC limit|3}}
== Locations ==

Here is a summary of the locations of the deed puzzles in the lands and how to solve them.

=== [[Icemule]] ===

Just outside the temple doors there is a ice flow. '''Search flow''' to reveal a door. '''Go door''' and then '''close door''' once inside. '''Pull chain''' and a drawer slides into view. Now '''open drawer''' and put your offering(s) inside. Then '''close drawer''' to complete the ritual. If you don't '''open door''' before attempting to go through it you will walk right into it causing a loud thud which people will hear outside. If you want to make multiple offerings, you can '''open door''' and then '''close door''' to restart the ritual without even leaving. Just remember to '''open door''' again before leaving. Once you are out, no need in attempting to close the door, as it is hidden once again.

Seems '''Gems AND Wands''' recieve extra value in Icemule, and someone mentioned '''Lockpicks''' can be used in Icemule.

Very young adventurers with few deeds can use '''broadswords''' which can be found by hunting thyrils outside the south gate of Icemule.

=== [[Mist Harbor]] ===

Go to the Western Harbor cemetery on Fishmonger Way and look for a door in a cliff.

{{RoomDescription
|roomname = Cavern, Altar Room
|desc = Vaulted and wide open, the cavern is illuminated by the numerous torches that are hung in large wrought iron rings anchored to the smooth stone walls. High in the distant ceiling is a wide hole that allows sunlight to cast its golden glow upon a smooth round stone altar that has been placed in the center of the chamber. Overlapping thick azure rugs ring the room's single piece of furniture, their faces decorated with interlocking whorls and geometric shapes. You also see a merry mountain spirit that is flying around and a willow-thin human priest.
|rnum = 28620
|exits = north, east, southeast, south, west
}}
'''Log of Discussion with Priest'''
<pre{{log2}}>
Moving quietly to your side, the priest whispers to you, "I know all manner of things about this place. If you wish me to share my knowledge, then simply ask me about NORTH winds, SOUTH winds, EAST winds, WEST winds, or just the WINDS in general. I also know about the FEATHER, the ALTAR, and the POT." Nodding once, he moves away to give you some privacy.

>ask priest about north winds
Smiling, Fyodar says, "The altar that sits in that portion of the cavern is dedicated to the northern winds, which are the cold, fierce winds that are born of the element water. There's an urn there that you'll want to POUR over the basin that holds your offering. Once that is done, you'll want to share your breath to freeze the pieces and then LIGHT the brazier to evaporate it all."

>ask priest about south winds
Gazing at the distant ceiling, Fyodar distractedly says, "The altar that sits there is dedicated to the southern winds, which are the winds that bring us heat because they are born of the element fire. If you wish to make an offering there, then you must SPRINKLE the OIL over the basin and LIGHT it on fire. Share your breath, too, for that is the touch that makes your offering pure."

>ask priest about east winds
Pondering, Fyodar says, "Well, I believe that altar is given to the winds of the east, which is tied to spices and the element of air. When making an offering there, you may want to LIGHT some INCENSE and EXHALE its fumes over the BASIN."

>ask priest about west winds
Nodding several times, almost as if distracted, Fyodar finally says, "The alter erected over there is given to the west winds, which are the winds of life and tied to the element of earth. You will want to TAKE some soil from the VESSEL and pack it in around your offering. Then you shall need to POUR some water and watch what happens. The key here is to share your internal breath with your offering."

>ask priest about winds
"Bountiful winds," the priest quietly says in response to your query. "Without the wind there would be nothing to carry the seed, nothing to push ships across the seas, and nothing to cool faces in the heat. There are four winds, you know, and I know all about them. NORTH, EAST, WEST, and SOUTH, just ask me about them."

>ask priest about feather
"Ah, yes," Fyodar says quietly, "The feather is a guide. When you pray it rises to your destination and you must follow it."

>ask priest about altar
Glancing at the altar, Fyodar says, "It is the missing piece from above. Once, long ago, it tumbled from the ceiling and left us a clear view of the sky. Through that opening, the winds grace us with their daily breath."

>ask priest about pot
Smiling, Fyodar says, "One may have to SPRINKLE a pot over a BRAZIER or BASIN, though some you may have to POUR over them."
</pre>
:{{addmetext}}

=== [[River's Rest]] ===

Go to ''Spring Rest'' just outside the Sanctuary (the room with the pillars, room #10854). '''Kneel''', '''look in pool''' (an inviting message should appear), '''look in pool''' again (another inviting message should appear), '''touch pool''', '''put''' your shells, gems or silvers into the pool, '''touch pool''' again.

If you put in items of sufficient value, you should be transported to the ''Garden of Life''. Once there, '''touch flower''', '''get seed''' (make sure the seed is in your right hand) and '''plant seed'''.

''Note: Only [[:Category: River's Rest gems|local River's Rest gems]] (including shells) count for triple their value in the deed cost calculation.''

=== [[Solhaven]] ===

Go to Lorminstra's temple on Liabo street. Enter the temple and find a curtain. Go curtain and close curtain. Kneel and place offering in the brazier. Light the brazier.

=== [[Ta'Illistim]] ===

{{RoomDescription
| roomname = Hall of Patrons, Rotunda
| rnum = 745
| desc = Eight arches supported by gold-veined marble columns encircle this large rotunda. A forged chandelier hangs suspended from the lofty, domed ceiling, illuminating the room. Six pedestals form a small circle beneath the chandelier, in the center of the rotunda.}}
OPEN the TOME on the pedestal and TURN the TOME to the PATRON of ILLISTIM, VAALOR, NALFEIN, ARDENAI, ASHRIM, LOENTHRA. Remember the image of the patron that appears on the page. Retrieve a taper from behind the silk-screened panel in the eastern room, light it with a candle, then find the meditation room dedicated to the patron. Place any offerings on the censer inside, then use the lit taper to light the censer and meditate.

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

Deeds can be acquired at the Garden of Ancients. '''Search vines''', then '''go door''' to enter the niche. '''Close door''' once you are inside. '''Pull hemp''' and '''open drawer''', place any offerings in the drawer, then '''close drawer'''.

=== [[Teras Isle]] ===

Getting a deed on Teras Isle involves doing a puzzle. This puzzle can be overwhelmingly difficult and so here are some guiding hints and the final answer.

</div>

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

There are multiple locations near Wehnimer's Landing where deeds can be acquired.

==== Temple ====

The first is at the Temple in Erebor Square (Room #4045). Once inside, '''go black arch''', then '''go tapestry'''. '''Hit chime with mallet''' twice, then '''kneel''', place any offerings of silvers or gems on the ground, then '''hit chime with mallet''' one last time.

==== [[Hearthstone Manor]] ====

Down the walkway in the herb garden is a wall covered in honeysuckle vines. Search the vines to find a hidden door. If the door is open, it is available. Enter the door, close it, pull the rope, open the draw, stuff it with broken lockpicks, pawnshop fodder such as drake weapons, [[magical item]]s such as wands, and/or everything made via [[Alchemy]]. Close the drawer when there is enough stuff in it, but the quantity to spell level to character level requirement is unknown. This is not a good method for getting deeds at high level as an incredible amount of magical items are required.

==== [[Northern Caravansary]] ====

There is a curtain in [[Small Wonders]] that functions similar to the Hearthstone Manor mechanism. Close the curtain, fill the brazier with magical items, kneel and light the brazier.

=== [[Zul Logoth]] ===

Visit Brother [[Barnstel]], the herbalist (lich room #9505). '''Ask''' him about deeds and he will give you a password ("ygrutha sans'ra"). Then '''go arch''', '''go hall''' and '''say''' the password. The small door in the room will open and you will enter it automatically.

You will be in a room with a series of murals and candles. You have to light two candles with a lighting stick that's in a cup on the first of two tables and put your offering in the bowl. The candles you light depend on your race and profession. These can be determined by examining the murals in the room, but they're also provided in the table below.

So, for example, if you are a dwarven warrior, you will GET STICK FROM CUP, LIGHT STICK, LIGHT BROWN CANDLE, LIGHT STICK, LIGHT SHORT CANDLE and then put your gems in the offering bowl. Lastly, look in the silver holder. There is a tall golden candle in the holder. LIGHT GOLD CANDLE. What happens next depends on whether or not Lorminstra is pleased or displeased.

'''NOTE:''' There are only nine profession murals and nine corresponding candles in this room, so if you are a monk--the tenth and most recently added profession--you cannot get deeds in Zul Logoth.

== Cost ==
This formula works to obtain deeds through the tapestry in the black arch room in the Wehnimer's Landing Temple. This formula works for lower level characters. Higher level characters need to offer more than the formula calculates. The point at which it becomes inaccurate is currently unknown. The cost is based on experience and not level itself, which under GS3 worked because all levels (20+) were equal and so you could determine level off experience. This is easily seen where a character with 10 million experience can always get a deed for X amount while a character with 30 million experience can never get with the same amount.

<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=55%}}>'''Deed cost (in silvers) = 101 + (level * 100) + (deeds * 100)</div>

Example: a 99th level character with 7 deeds = 10701 silvers

<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=65%}}>101 + (99 * 100 = 9900) + (7 * 100 = 700)</div>

If using items (usually gems), a general estimate is 3x what they appraise for.
Using the example would mean a gem worth 3567 silvers. Err on the side of caution with this. The gem bonus does not seem to apply (at least not as substantially) in [[Ta'Vaalor]], but wands seem to apply to the 3x bonus, so they are a suggested substitute.

Using bank notes is possible but requires an additional cost of approximately 50% of the result of the formula above.

[[GameMaster]] Xayle, July 9th 2012:
<pre{{log2}}>
Xayle says, "The answer that I seem to be getting is this..."
Xayle says, "Different deed puzzles use different formulas."
You nod.
Xayle says, "And this one isn't working on the formula you're using."
You softly say, "I see."
You softly say, "That would explain it."
Xayle says, "I wish I could say more, but that would start straying into puzzle answering."
Xayle says, "Which is a nono."

Lich:Script Eloot

2026-02-10T01:46:38Z

HORIBU1: massive update to include all latest features of ELoot

{{3rd-party}}
{{TOCright| limit=2}}
ELoot is an automatic looting script for [[Lich]] and the spiritual successor to Sloot, borrowing and expanding on many of its original concepts. ELoot is actively maintained by the Elanthia-Online team.

'''Mark and register every item you value''' before using ELoot. Until you fully understand how the script handles your inventory, do not wear gem hoarding containers. Test your settings thoroughly before relying on ELoot during a hunting session.

==What Does It Do?==
ELoot automates common post-combat tasks:
* '''Looting''' — Gathers loot from killed creatures or the room and places items into your defined [[STOW]] containers, including overflow containers.
* '''Skinning''' — Skins creatures using your configured weapons.
* '''Box Handling''' — Drops boxes at the locksmith pool or town locksmith for opening, retrieves them, and loots their contents.
* '''Selling''' — Sells loot that meets your criteria at the appropriate shops and deposits coins at the bank.
* '''Gem & Alchemy Hoarding''' — Stores gems or alchemy reagents into jars in your locker for later use.

ELoot settings are saved per character, per game instance, in your Lich5 data folder (e.g., <code>lich-5/data/eloot/GSIV/Rinualdo.yaml</code>). To reuse settings across characters, copy and rename the <code>.yaml</code> file to match each character's name.

==How Do I Get It?==
Download ELoot from the repository:
<CODE>;repo download eloot</CODE>

Because ELoot is under active development and GemStone IV changes frequently, it is recommended to enable auto-updates:
<CODE>;repo set-updatable eloot</CODE>

ELoot scans your inventory each time it loads. Adding it to your Lich autostart ensures your container information is populated at the start of every session:
<CODE>;autostart add --global eloot start</CODE>

==How Does It Work?==
ELoot relies on the in-game [[STOW]] verb to determine your containers. '''You must configure your STOW settings in-game before ELoot will function.''' Unlike [[Sloot]], ELoot does not use <code>UserVars</code>.

To open the graphical configuration window, type:
<CODE>;eloot setup</CODE>

The setup window contains '''eight tabs''' described below, plus a status bar that reads "Your changes are saved automatically."

==Tab: Looting==
The Looting tab controls what ELoot picks up and how it handles the looting process. Item categorization is based on Lich's <code>gameobj-data.xml</code> file. When no exclusions are defined and all items on the ground match your criteria, ELoot uses the in-game <code>LOOT ROOM</code> command, which lets the game engine gather and place items based on your STOW settings.

===Loot Types===
A grid of checkboxes that tells ELoot which categories of items to pick up. Items can belong to multiple categories simultaneously (e.g., a weapon could be classified as a weapon, magical, valuable, and uncommon).

Available categories: Alchemy, Armor, Box, Breakable, Clothing, Collectible, Cursed, Food, Gem, Herb, Jewelry, Junk, Lockpick, Locksmith Traps, Magic, Reagent, Scroll, Skin, Uncommon, Valuable, Wand, Weapon.

===Other Settings===
{| class="wikitable"
|-

|-
| '''Keep Sacks Closed''' || Keeps your containers closed after looting. Note: this has a performance impact.

|-
| '''Sigil of Determination on Fail''' || Uses Sigil of Determination if looting fails because your character is too injured.
|-
| '''Bloodtooth Bands''' || If your character wears Bloodtooth Bands and a Bloodtooth Bracer, ELoot will use RAISE on dead creatures that can bleed to gain Blood Bank charges.

|-
| '''Charm Name''' || The name of a charm item, if applicable.
|-

|-
| '''Gambling Kit (Min Silvers)''' || The minimum number of coins you must be holding before ELoot will toss coins into your gambling kit. Incurs 2 seconds of roundtime.
|}

==Tab: Looting Grid==
The Looting Grid tab provides editable lists for fine-tuning looting behavior. Each list supports adding and deleting entries one at a time. Regular expressions (regex) are supported for advanced matching.

===Never Loot (Exclusions)===
Items to never pick up, entered by noun or regex pattern. Common exclusions include <code>black ora</code> and <code>urglaes</code> for non-Cleric characters that cannot safely handle cursed materials.

'''Example entries:'''
* <code>black ora</code>
* <code>(?:aquamarine|gold) wand</code> — matches "aquamarine wand" or "gold wand"

===Always Loot===
Items to always pick up regardless of other settings. Entered by noun or regex pattern, one per line.

===Creature Exclusions===
Creatures you do not want ELoot to loot, such as those that injure you when searching. Entered by creature name or regex pattern.

'''Example entries:'''
* <code>Vvrael destroyer</code>
* <code>(?:big ugly|mongrel) kobold</code>

===Unlootable===
Items that ELoot has previously been unable to pick up are tracked here (if "Log Unlootables" is enabled on the Looting tab). This can happen when another player or group member picks up an item before ELoot finishes processing. Items on this list will not be attempted again. You can manually remove entries from this list if the item was only temporarily unlootable.

==Tab: Boxes==
The Boxes tab controls how ELoot handles lockbox processing — locksmith pool usage, tipping, and scripts to run between pool and selling steps.

===Locksmithing===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Setting !! Description
|-
| '''Use Town Locksmith''' || Sends boxes to the town locksmith instead of the pool.
|-
| '''Use Locksmith Pool''' || Sends boxes to the player-run locksmith pool for opening.
|-
| '''Always Check Pool''' || If checked, ELoot always checks the pool for returned boxes, even if you have no boxes to drop off. Default behavior only checks the pool when you have a box to deposit.
|-
| '''Use Locksmith When Gem Bounty''' || Always routes through the locksmith when you have an active gem bounty, so you can recover gems from boxes.
|-
| '''Display Box Contents''' || Shows the contents of boxes as they are opened and looted.
|-
| '''Bank Withdrawal Amount''' || The amount of silver to withdraw from the bank for locksmith tips.
|}

===Tipping===
Two tipping modes are available. Only one can be active at a time:

'''Standard Tipping''' — A fixed tip amount or percentage applied to every box.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Setting !! Description
|-
| '''Tip Amount''' || The silver amount or percentage to tip per box.
|-
| '''Tip as Percentage''' || If checked, the tip amount is treated as a percentage of the box's value rather than a flat silver amount.
|}

'''Incremental Tipping''' — Your tip scales upward as your box count in the pool grows. This rewards locksmiths who handle larger batches.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Setting !! Description
|-
| '''Base Tip''' || The minimum starting tip.
|-
| '''Max Tip''' || The maximum tip cap.
|-
| '''Alpha Rate''' || Controls how quickly the tip scales between the base and max values. A higher alpha rate means the tip rises more steeply.
|-
| '''Test''' || Click the "Test" button to see a preview chart of what your incremental tips would look like at various box counts.
|}

===In-between Scripts===
A list of scripts (with optional parameters) to run after the locksmith pool step finishes but before the selling routine begins. This is useful for running utility scripts like repair, organize, or other automation between steps.

'''Format:''' <code><script name> <option1 option2 option3></code>

==Tab: Selling==
The Selling tab defines what ELoot sells, where it sells, and how it handles special items.

===Sell Types===
Checkboxes for each item category ELoot should sell. Notes on specific types:
* '''Box''' — Sells empty gold, mithril, and silver boxes to the pawnshop.
* '''Food''' — Food cannot be sold; it will be thrown away or dropped.
* '''Herb''' — Herbs cannot be sold; they will be thrown away or dropped.
* '''Junk''' — Junk cannot be sold; it will be thrown away or dropped.
* '''Breakable''' — Porous chunks of rock (from The Hive, released 12/17/2023) that need to be broken so their contents can be sold.

===Only Sell from These STOW Containers===
Checkboxes for each STOW container type. If a container is unchecked here, ELoot will not sell items from it. This is useful if you have a container with items you want to keep. '''Test thoroughly''' before relying on this setting.

===Appraisals===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Setting !! Description
|-
| '''Appraise Types''' || Select which item categories ELoot should appraise before selling.
|-
| '''Gemshop Limit''' || Items appraised above this value at the gemshop will not be sold (default: 14,999). These may be enhancive or otherwise valuable and warrant player inspection.
|-
| '''Pawnshop Limit''' || Items appraised above this value at the pawnshop will not be sold (default: 34,999).
|-
| '''Appraisal Container''' || Optionally specify a container to use during the appraisal process.
|}

Items flagged by the appraisal system will not be sold during the current session, and ELoot will notify you. If you restart the session, ELoot will attempt to appraise and potentially sell those items again.

===Trash to Dump===
A configurable set of item types to throw in the trash after the selling routine finishes. An item type must also be enabled for selling in order to be eligible for dumping. Available types include: Alchemy, Box, Breakable, Clothing, Food, Herb, Junk, Lockpick, Locksmith Traps, Reagent, Wand.

===Other Settings===

|-
| '''Use Aspect (650)''' || Uses Assume Aspect — Lion (650) during selling, if known.
|-
| '''Share Silvers''' || Shares silvers with your group after selling.
|-
| '''Keep Silver''' || Keeps a specified number of silvers on your character after selling and depositing, rather than depositing everything.
|-
| '''Deposit Coin Hand''' || Deposits the contents of your coin hand container when depositing at the bank.
|}

==Tab: Selling Grid==
The Selling Grid tab provides editable lists for fine-tuning selling behavior.

===Exclusions===
Items to exclude from selling, entered by noun or regex pattern, one per line. Regular expressions are supported.

'''Example:''' <code>(?:aquamarine|gold) wand</code> and <code>gold ring</code> as separate entries.

===Keep Scrolls===
A list of spell numbers whose scrolls ELoot should '''not''' sell. Your character must have the appropriate training to read scrolls in order for ELoot to identify the spell on a given scroll.

'''How to add entries:'''
* Enter just the spell number (e.g., <code>101</code>) for regular scrolls.
* Enter the spell number followed by <code>v</code> or <code>vibrant</code> (e.g., <code>401v</code> or <code>401 vibrant</code>) to keep vibrant scrolls of that spell.

|-
| '''Skin Sheath (blunt)''' || The name of the container that holds your blunt skinning weapon.
|-
| '''Skin Weapon (blunt)''' || The name of your blunt skinning weapon.
|}

===Skinning Exclusions===
A list of creatures you do not want ELoot to skin, entered by creature name or regex pattern, one per line.

==Tab: Gem Hoarding==
The Gem Hoarding tab allows you to store gems in jars inside your locker instead of selling them. This is useful for fulfilling gem bounties or accumulating valuable gems over time.

'''Hoarding Notes:''' Requires jars to store items. ELoot can use any size jar and will use empty jars for new gem types. ELoot does not buy jars. Full jars are skipped.

===Settings===
{| class="wikitable"

* '''Only List''' — If enabled, ELoot will ONLY hoard gems that appear on this list. Add specific gem names to hoard just those.

===Locker Location===
Enter the room number(s) for your locker. If using a CHE locker, provide the room list, entry command, and exit command. ELoot will try each locker location in order; if one is occupied, it moves to the next. After cycling through all locations, it pauses 10 seconds and starts over.

==Tab: Alchemy Hoarding==

Lich:Script Bigshot

2026-02-09T16:57:34Z

HORIBU1: /* Command Checks */ add ES/EB/EC/ED for effects tracking

{{3rd-party}}
Bigshot is a fully automated hunting script for GemStone IV. It handles combat routines, movement to and from hunting areas, target selection, and attack execution.
AFK scripting on any server other than Shattered is a violation of game policy.
{{TOCright| limit=2}}
==Changelog==
*[[Script Bigshot/Changelog|Script Bigshot Changelog]]
==About Bigshot==
===What Does Bigshot Do?===

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

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

Grab it from the repository: <CODE>;repository download Bigshot</CODE>

===How Do I Make It Go?===
Initial setup is accessed through <CODE>;bigshot setup</CODE>. This opens a configuration window with several tabs for setting up your hunting routine.

As with most scripts, the SETUP command opens a graphical user interface. Use <CODE>;bigshot setup</CODE> to open the dialog. The window contains the following tabs:
* '''Profile''' - Save and load profile configurations. Profiles are saved to your <CODE>\Lich5\data\<GSServer>\<charname>\bigshot_profiles</CODE> directory (e.g., <CODE>\Lich5\data\GSIV\Rinualdo\bigshot_profiles</CODE>). Note: if you previously used Bigshot, the file location has changed from the old <CODE>\Lich5\scripts\bigshot_profiles</CODE> folder. You can copy/paste your old profiles to the new location.
* '''Resting''' - Configure your resting routine, rest location, and conditions that trigger resting.
* '''Hunting''' - Create a hunting map using boundaries, set your starting room, configure attack/wander stances, and define pre-hunt behavior.
* '''Attacking''' - Configure ambush aiming, flee conditions, bless behavior, weapon reactions, and similar combat flags.
* '''Commands''' - Define your valid targets and associated attack routines. See sample routines below.
* '''Boon Creatures''' - Configure how Bigshot handles boss/boon creatures on a per-ability basis (fight, ignore, or flee).
* '''Misc''' - UAC options, MSTRIKE options, ammo/wand configuration, and MA grouping settings.
* '''Monitoring''' - Interaction monitoring, deadman's switch, depart behavior, and debug options.

Each tab is covered in detail further on.

===Other Commands===
Beyond the setup GUI, Bigshot has several command-line options:
* <CODE>;bigshot quick</CODE> - A special hunting mode that kills everything in your current room, then quits. It will not wander or attempt to rest. Uses its own separate hunting commands and targets (configured on the Commands tab).
* <CODE>;bigshot head</CODE> / <CODE>;bigshot tail</CODE> - Multi-account hunting on a single computer. All characters must be set up for the same hunting area. Following characters run <CODE>;bigshot tail</CODE>, then the leader runs <CODE>;bigshot head</CODE>. The leader can optionally specify the expected group size, e.g., <CODE>;bigshot head 3</CODE>. Head and tail can be started in any order.
* <CODE>;bigshot display</CODE> - Shows all your current settings.
* <CODE>;bigshot reset</CODE> - Resets your targetable and untargetable lists. Useful if Bigshot will not target something it should.
* <CODE>;bigshot ranger</CODE> or <CODE>;bigshot companion</CODE> - Resets the ranger companion setting so you can reconfigure it. Use this when you change your companion.
* <CODE>;bigshot profile save <name></CODE> - Saves a profile in YAML format to your character's profile folder. Also accessible via the Profiles tab.
* <CODE>;bigshot profile load <name></CODE> - Loads a profile from your character's profile folder. Also accessible via the Profiles tab.
* <CODE>;bigshot single</CODE> - Executes a single hunting routine, returns to your resting location, and then exits.
* <CODE>;bigshot list</CODE> - Displays all initialized variable values (useful for troubleshooting).
* <CODE>;bigshot test <method> <args></CODE> - Runs a specific internal method for testing purposes.
* <CODE>;bigshot <creature></CODE> - Any input that does not match the above commands defaults to ranger tracking (e.g., <CODE>;bigshot single giant rat</CODE> will track and hunt a giant rat).

==The Profile Tab==
* '''Load Profile''' - Load an existing saved profile. The dropdown will be empty if no profiles have been saved yet.
* '''Current Profile''' - Displays the name of the currently loaded profile.
* '''Save Profile''' - Enter any name for your profile and click Save. Once saved, the profile will appear in the Load Profile dropdown.
* '''Notes''' - A freeform text area for any notes you want to associate with the profile.

==The Resting Tab==
This tab controls where and how Bigshot rests between hunts. During rest mode, Bigshot checks your mind state, hit points, wound status, mana, and spirit. Once all conditions defined in the "Should Hunt?" section are met, Bigshot leaves rest mode and begins a new hunt.

===Where to Rest===
* '''room id''' - The room Bigshot returns to for resting. Uses room numbers from Map/Go2. Supports both Lich IDs and SimuIDs (prefix SimuIDs with "u", e.g., <CODE>228</CODE> for Town Square Central or <CODE>u7120</CODE>).
* '''return waypoints''' - Optional intermediate room IDs that Bigshot will pass through when returning to rest. Separate multiple waypoints with commas.
* '''pre-rest commands''' - Commands executed before entering rest mode. Example: <CODE>shea, wear shield, sit, stance offensive, rest</CODE>. This will sheathe your weapon, wear your shield, sit down, enter offensive stance, and use the REST verb. You can also call scripts here using the <CODE>script</CODE> prefix, e.g., <CODE>script go2 place</CODE>.
* '''active resting scripts''' - Scripts that run upon entering rest mode for between-hunt tasks such as selling loot, spelling up, or healing. Example: <CODE>eloot sell, waggle, eherbs</CODE>. This will sell via eloot, spell up via waggle, then use herbs from your PACK to heal wounds.
* '''Fog Option''' - Determines how Bigshot returns to rest. Options include:
** '''None''' - Walk normally (no teleportation).
** '''130''' - Uses [[Spirit Guide (130)]] first; falls back to Symbol of Return if it fails.
** '''Symbol of Return''' - Uses Voln [[Symbol of Return]] first; falls back to 130 if it fails.
** '''Traveler's Song (1020)''' - Attempts [[Traveler's Song (1020)]] once, then continues.
** '''Familiar Gate (930)''' - Attempts [[Familiar Gate (930)]] to summon a portal and walk through it. Will perform a mana pulse if not enough mana is detected.
** '''Sigil of Escape''' - Uses [[Sigil of Escape]].
** '''Custom''' - Allows a comma-separated list of custom commands to perform.
* '''Fog ONLY if wounded or encumbered''' - When checked, Bigshot will only use the fog option if you are actually wounded or encumbered. Otherwise it walks normally.
* '''Fog twice from the Rift''' - When checked, Bigshot will double-cast the fog spell when returning from the Rift (useful since the Rift requires two uses to escape).

===Should Rest?===
Bigshot evaluates these conditions to decide when to leave a hunt and return to rest.
* '''when percent mind >='''
** Triggers resting when your mind has reached this threshold. Generally set to 100 (fried). Default is 100.
* '''and extra kills >='''
** The number of additional monsters to kill after reaching your "when percent mind" threshold and after LTE boosts are used. Set to 0 to rest immediately upon reaching the mind threshold.
* '''and used lte boosts >='''
** The number of LTE (Long-Term Experience) boosts Bigshot will attempt to use after reaching the mind threshold. Set to 0 to skip LTE boosts entirely.
* '''or percent mana <='''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when your mana percentage is at or below this value. Can be set to 0, but leaving a small buffer is useful (e.g., for Unlock (406) to open the WL Graveyard gate). If you encounter an "OOM" error, try setting this to 1.
* '''or percent encumbrance >='''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when your encumbrance reaches or exceeds this percentage.
* '''or wounded eval'''
** Allows you to set a Ruby evaluation expression to determine if you are too wounded to continue. Can trigger on bleeding, specific wound levels, inability to cast, scars, and more.

The following is a wounded evaluation that will rest whenever you have any level II wounds:
<PRE>XMLData.injuries.any?{|key,value| value["wound"] > 1} || Char.percent_health <= 70</PRE>
The following is a wound evaluation that will take you home if you can no longer cast (bleeding, nerves, level 2 head/eyes, bad scars, etc.):
<PRE>bleeding? || Char.percent_health <= 25 || [Wounds.head, Scars.head, Wounds.leftEye, Scars.leftEye, Wounds.rightEye, Scars.rightEye, Wounds.nsys, Scars.nsys].max > 1 || [Wounds.leftArm, Wounds.leftHand, Wounds.rightArm, Wounds.rightHand, Scars.leftArm, Scars.leftHand, Scars.rightArm, Scars.rightHand].max > 2 || ([Wounds.leftArm, Wounds.leftHand, Scars.leftArm, Scars.leftHand].max + [Wounds.rightArm, Wounds.rightHand, Scars.rightArm, Scars.rightHand].max) >= 3</PRE>
The following can be appended to either wound evaluation above to also rest upon having popped muscles:
<PRE>|| Effects::Debuffs.active?("Overexerted")</PRE>

* '''when creeping dread >='''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when your creeping dread level reaches or exceeds this value.
* '''when crushing dread >='''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when your crushing dread level reaches or exceeds this value.
* '''Wall of Thorns Poison'''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when you are affected by Wall of Thorns poison.
* '''Confusion Debuff'''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when you are affected by the non-dispellable Confusion debuff.
* '''Box in hand'''
** Forces Bigshot to rest if looting leaves a box in your hand.

==The Hunting Tab==
This tab controls when and where Bigshot hunts, any pre-hunt preparation, and the map boundaries for wandering.

===The Hunting Map===
Your hunting map consists of '''Boundaries''' (rooms Bigshot will never enter) and a '''Starting Room''' (the first room Bigshot moves to when a hunt begins). These function similarly to the boundaries in the ;Wander script, but are stored in Bigshot's own configuration files.

* '''starting room ID''' - The first room Bigshot travels to when beginning a hunt. Set this to any room within your boundaries.
* '''boundary rooms''' - Rooms that act as walls. Bigshot will never enter a boundary room.

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

In the diagram above, "B" is a boundary room and "A" is outside the hunting area. Rooms marked "0" are the huntable area. Bigshot will wander freely among the "0" rooms but never cross into "B" or "A".

Boundary room IDs are separated by commas. Some popular examples:

'''Rift Boundaries:'''
<PRE>
Plane 1: 2635, 12101, 12208
Plane 2: 2605, 2635, 12093
Plane 3: 2635, 12089, 12152
Plane 4: 12122, 12207, 12235
Plane 5: 2579
North Scatter: 12151, 12254, 12256, 12249, 12247, 12241
South Scatter: 12151, 12219, 12217, 12233, 12237, 12239
</PRE>

'''Maaghara Boundaries:'''
<PRE>9734</PRE>

'''Confluence Boundaries:'''
<PRE>2300, 3519, 228, 188, 1932, 10855, 3668, 1438, 1005</PRE>

Imagine a hunting area that is a six-room square. To enter this square, you must GO DOORWAY from room A. You would set room A (outside the square, before the doorway) as a boundary. Then set room B (just inside the square) as the starting room. Bigshot will move to room B and wander within the bounded area until your "Should Rest?" conditions are met.

* '''rally point rooms''' - Optional intermediate room IDs Bigshot will pass through on the way to the hunting area. Separate multiple rooms with commas.

===Hunting Settings===
* '''wait before wandering to another room''' - Time in seconds Bigshot waits before leaving a room to look for creatures. Default is 0.3. Set to 0 for fastest (but spammy) movement.
* '''attack stance''' - The stance Bigshot switches to when issuing attack commands. Bigshot remains in defensive stance until an attack is triggered, then stances to your specified attack stance. Recognizes all game stances from Offensive through Defensive.
* '''wander stance''' - The stance Bigshot uses while moving between rooms. Defaults to Defensive.
* '''stand up stance''' - The stance Bigshot enters when standing up after being knocked down. Defaults to Defensive.
* '''pre-hunt commands''' - Commands executed before Bigshot uses Go2 to travel to your starting room. Example: <CODE>gird, stance defensive</CODE>. This ensures your weapon is readied and you are in defensive stance before traveling. Use this line for short-lived combat spells like 1605 (Arm of the Arkati).
* '''active hunting scripts''' - Scripts that run while Bigshot is in hunt mode. Use these for complex behaviors that Bigshot does not natively support (e.g., keeping certain spells active or executing CMANs based on conditions).
* '''society abilities/spells/cmans''' - Abilities Bigshot keeps active during a hunt. Enter numerical designations separated by commas. For example, entering <CODE>506</CODE> keeps Haste up, recasting whenever it wears off. Hover over this field in the GUI for a list of supported values. Supported options include spells that can be ignored by rapidfire cooldown: e.g., <CODE>515 (ignore)</CODE> or <CODE>rapidfire (ignore)</CODE>.
* '''loot script''' - The script Bigshot calls to loot your kills (e.g., <CODE>eloot</CODE>). Make sure the loot script is properly configured via its own SETUP command, or Bigshot may error.
* '''wracking spirit >=''' - If your spirit is greater than or equal to this value, Bigshot will WRACK for mana. Setting it to 6 will wrack down to 5 spirit. Only functions when the wracking checkbox is enabled.
* '''Use sign of wracking/sigil of power''' - Checkbox to enable wracking.
* '''Check for favor before using Voln symbols''' - Checkbox to verify you have sufficient favor before casting Voln society symbols.
* '''Priority hunt''' - When enabled, Bigshot targets creatures in the order listed in your valid targets field. If a higher-priority creature enters the room, Bigshot switches to it. When using <CODE>;bigshot quick</CODE>, quickhunt targets take priority, followed by any remaining targets in room order.
* '''Delay looting''' - Delays the looting of creatures in a room.
* '''Defensive stance before looting''' - Switches to defensive stance before looting begins.
* '''Pull players to feet''' - Attempts to pull players to their feet when passing them.
* '''Stop for dead players''' - Pauses Bigshot if you encounter a dead player.
* '''Troubadour's Rally''' - Enables the use of Troubadour's Rally during hunts.
* '''Sneaky Sneaky''' - Sneak around while moving through the hunting area.

===Should Hunt?===
Bigshot evaluates these conditions to determine if you are ready to begin a hunt from rest.
* '''when percent mind <='''
** Setting this to 51 will wait until "Clear". Setting it to 65 will wait until "Muddled".
* '''and percent mana >='''
** The percentage of your maximum mana that must be present before hunting. Setting below 50 results in short hunts if you cast frequently. Generally set to 95 or higher.
* '''and CHECK spirit >='''
** Bigshot checks that your current spirit value is at least this amount. Make sure this is high enough that Bigshot will not immediately hunt after DEPARTing if you have the "Depart / re-run" option enabled on the Monitoring tab.
* '''and percent stamina >='''
** The percentage of your maximum stamina that must be present before hunting. Useful for melee-heavy builds that rely on stamina for CMANs and MSTRIKEs.

==The Attacking Tab==
This tab controls aiming, flee conditions, and various combat behavior toggles.

* '''Ambush aiming locations (head, etc)''' - The order Bigshot aims when ambushing. Default is head, right leg, left leg, chest. Bigshot cycles through these and skips locations that are too injured or unreachable.
* '''Archery aiming locations (head, etc)''' - The order Bigshot aims when using archery attacks. Loops through your aiming list.
* '''flee if enemy count is >''' - Flees the room if the total number of enemies exceeds this value. Set to 1 to engage only single targets.
* '''...but don't count these''' - Bigshot ignores these monsters when evaluating flee count. Useful when low-level monsters are mixed into your hunting area.
* '''...and always flee from''' - Bigshot immediately flees from these monsters. Useful when your hunting area has higher-level or dangerous monsters mixed in.
* '''flee from environment message''' - Bigshot flees whenever the game sends a message matching this text (uses XML regex matching).
* '''wait before wandering to another room''' - Time in seconds before moving to a new room. Default is 0.3. Set to 0 to move instantly (can be spammy for others in the area).
* '''Approach lone targets only''' - Forces Bigshot to only begin combat against creatures that are alone in a room.
* '''Bless weapon?''' - Performs a Consecrate (1604), then a Cleric Bless or Voln Bless on any weapon that loses its bless during hunting. If unable to bless during hunting, Bigshot returns to the rest area and quits.
* '''Activate weapon reactions''' - Initiates reactive strikes when the opportunity presents itself.
* '''Flee from clouds''' - Flees from cloud spells such as 125 (Call Lightning/Ominous Cloud), 1704 (Stun Cloud), and 1713 (Death Cloud).
* '''Flee from vines''' - Flees from vine spells such as 610 (Tangle Weed).
* '''Flee from webs''' - Flees from webs.
* '''Flee from voids''' - Flees from voids.

==Commands Tab==
This is the core of Bigshot — where you define your attack routines.

===Hunting Commands===
* '''hunting commands (a)''' - The primary commands Bigshot executes when in a room with a valid target. Commands are separated by commas. Bigshot recognizes most hunting verbs; unrecognized commands are sent directly as-is via fput. The following are recognized hunting commands:
** '''kill''' - Attacks using the KILL verb.
** '''incant <spell number>''' - Casts the specified spell with INCANT. Automatically stances into offensive for bolt and stance-sensitive spells. You can CHANNEL via <CODE>INCANT SET CHANNEL <spell></CODE> (a standard GSIV verb) or by setting <CODE>SET ChannelIncant ON</CODE>, which will CHANNEL an INCanted spell if you are in a stance higher than neutral.
** '''channel <spell number>''' - Channels the specified spell at the target. Requires a stance higher than neutral to have effect.
** '''<spell number>''' - Casts the specified spell using PREPARE and CAST.
** '''wand''' - Gets a wand from your specified container and WAVEs it at the target.
** '''wandolier''' - Similar to wand, but designed for wandoliers. Gets a wand from the fresh wand container and waves it; rubs the container if no wands are found. Default waves in offensive stance. Use <CODE>wandolier defensive</CODE> to wave in a different stance.
** '''fire''' - Gets ammunition from your specified container and FIREs at the target. Aims based on Archery aiming settings on the Attacking tab.
** '''aim <location>''' - Aims at the specified body location.
** '''ambush''' - Uses the AMBUSH verb to attack, aiming based on Attacking tab settings. Can also aim dynamically: <CODE>ambush head</CODE> overrides default settings for that attack.
** '''wait <time>''' - Stance dances by going into Defensive stance for the specified time (in seconds). Bigshot will exit early if the target swings or casts, then evaluate the rest of the attack routine from your attack stance.
** '''mstrike''' - Executes MSTRIKE based on cooldown and stamina. Has its own options page under the Misc tab. Can also be used with UAC: <CODE>mstrike punch</CODE>.
** '''berserk''' - Executes the BERSERK verb and waits until it fades.
** '''throw''' - Empties hands, attempts throw, then retrieves the items you emptied.
** '''weed/kweed''' - Casts 610 at the target. Using <CODE>kweed</CODE> forces EVOKE 610, ensuring the damage version.
** '''curse <type>''' - Preps 715 and uses the specified curse type. Valid types: Clumsy, Weakness, Darkness, Itch, Hex, Pox, Nightmare, Star. Skips "curse star" if the buff is already active.
** '''unarmed <type>''' - Uses the Bigshot UAC routine. Valid types: punch, jab, kick, grapple. The routine uses appropriate attacks to rank up and applies MSTRIKE based on MSTRIKE options. Example: <CODE>unarmed jab</CODE>.
** '''smite''' - Performs an [[Order of Voln]] [[Kai's_Smite|Smite]] on the target until successful.
** '''leech''' - Performs a [[Mana Leech (516)]] on the target if cooldown is under 15 minutes.
** '''script <script name>''' - Executes a specified custom attack script.
** '''hide''' - Repeatedly attempts to hide until successful or gives up.
** '''sleep <nostance>''' - Pauses Bigshot for the specified number of seconds. Example: <CODE>sleep 10</CODE> or <CODE>sleep 10 nostance</CODE>. Useful for timed hunting, e.g., <CODE>410, sleep 15</CODE> will E-wave, then wait 15 seconds before re-evaluating.
** '''stance <stance>''' - Changes stance. Example: <CODE>stance defensive</CODE>.
** '''nudgeweapons''' - Moves all weapons on the ground to an adjacent room. Useful for casting Implosion (720).
** '''force <cmd> until <endroll>''' - Repeats a command until a desired endroll is achieved. Example: <CODE>force incant 1002 until 101</CODE>. Only works for standard swings/spells/CMANs.
** '''eachtarget <cmd>''' - Issues the command against each valid target in the room.
** '''efury <fire|cold>''' - Casts Earthen Fury (917) on the target and waits for the DOT to end or 12 seconds to pass.
** '''caststop <spell>''' - Casts the spell and immediately stops it after casting.
** '''wield <noun> <left|right>''' - Wields a new item in the specified hand and stores the current item.
** '''store''' - Stores items in left, right, or both hands (only if something is in those hands).
** '''tether <recast>''' - Casts 706 with built-in wait logic. The optional <CODE>recast</CODE> flag will auto-recast 706 on creature death and transfer DOTs to a new target.
** '''unravel <spell>''' - Casts 1013 (Song of Unravelling). Optionally specify a spell number to target against the creature.
** '''depress''' - Casts 1015 (Song of Depression) with built-in logic.
** '''phase''' - Force-casts 704 (Phase) using PREP/CAST, required for NPC targeting to convert non-corporeal to corporeal undead.

===Additional Command Sets===
* '''hunting commands (b) through (j)''' - Additional attack routines tied to creature flags. When you flag a creature in your valid targets (e.g., <CODE>niirsha(b)</CODE>), Bigshot uses the matching command set. This allows different attack strategies for different creature types.
* '''fried hunting commands''' - Commands executed specifically when your mind is fried. Useful in group hunting where you still want to contribute.
* '''quick hunting commands''' - Commands executed when using <CODE>;bigshot quick</CODE>.
* '''valid targets''' - The monsters you are hunting. Bigshot works best with creature NOUNs (e.g., <CODE>ogre</CODE> instead of <CODE>a large ogre</CODE>). Use commas to separate multiple targets: <CODE>manticore, thrak</CODE>. If left blank, Bigshot will target everything in the room. Supports regex for advanced matching.
* '''quickhunt targets''' - Designated targets for the <CODE>;bigshot quick</CODE> option.

<CODE>COMMAND (CHECKS)(REPETITIONS)</CODE>

Example: <CODE>hamstring (mob1 prone)(x2)</CODE>. The (x#) repetition must be in a separate set of parentheses. Note that (xx) is shorthand for (x5), not unlimited.

Checks can be combined inside a single set of parentheses with spaces between them. Example: <CODE>kill(m20 s5 e20)</CODE>

Each check also has an inverse — prefix with <CODE>!</CODE> to negate. Example: <CODE>kill(!m20 !s5 !e20)</CODE>

'''Resource and Status Checks:'''

<PRE>To further clarify the mob# implementation:
1 mob, mob2: 1 IS less than 2 — attack does NOT proceed.
2 mobs, mob2: 2 IS NOT less than 2 — attack CAN proceed.
1 mob, !mob2: 1 IS NOT more than 2 — attack CAN proceed.
2 mobs, !mob2: 2 IS NOT more than 2 — attack CAN proceed.

===Example Attack Routines===
<PRE>wait 10, kill (x3)</PRE>
Waits 10 seconds for the monster to swing or cast, then counter-attacks from your specified attack stance. Swings three times, then goes back to defensive and waits again.

<PRE>wait 15, incant 505, incant 903 (xx)</PRE>
Waits 15 seconds, then INCants 505 (Hand of Tonis) to knock down or stun the target. Follows up with repeated casts of 903 (Minor Water) until the target is dead (up to 5 times).

<PRE>stance defensive and incant 1615, kill (x100)</PRE>
Casts 1615 (Divine Strike) from defensive stance, then uses KILL continuously until the target is dead or 100 swings (whichever comes first).

<PRE>force feint until 101, kill (x2)</PRE>
Uses FEINT against the target until a successful endroll, then hits twice before trying FEINT again.

<PRE>stance defensive and hide, ambush left leg</PRE>
Hides from defensive stance, then ambushes the target's left leg. Repeats (hides again) after roundtime.

<PRE>incant 720(m50), incant 708, incant 702 channel(xx)</PRE>
Casts 720 (Implosion) if you have 50+ mana, then INCants 708 (Limb Disruption) at the default aim location, then channels 702 (Mana Disruption) up to 5 times or until dead.

<PRE>prep 708, cast at left leg / prep 708 channel at left leg, incant 719 (m50)(x1), incant 702 (xx)</PRE>
Prepares 708 and CASTs at the left leg. The second variant prepares and CHANNELs at the left leg. Then casts 719 (Dark Catalyst) once if 50+ mana. Finally, INCants 702 until the creature is dead.

<PRE>wait 30, unarmed punch</PRE>
Waits 30 seconds or until the target attacks, then begins UAC combat using Punch to tier up.

<PRE>shield charge (s15 prone), ambush, mstrike</PRE>
Shield charges the target if you have 15+ stamina and the target is NOT prone. Then ambushes based on Attacking tab settings (cycling through configured aim locations). Then MSTRIKEs — focused if below the creature threshold, unfocused if at or above it. Use <CODE>mstrike target</CODE> to always focus, or set unfocused threshold very high.

<PRE>bellow all, wblade(mob3), flurry(!flurry), attack</PRE>
AOE bellows, then Whirling Blade if 3+ targets. Flurries if the Slashing Strikes buff is not active. Falls back to basic attack.

<PRE>holler, shield throw(mob3), flurry, thrash, attack</PRE>
Taunts with Holler, Shield Throws if 3+ targets, Flurries on cooldown, Thrashes on cooldown, and attacks as a fallback.

<PRE>shroud(s35 !hidden mob2), divert (s25 hidden mob2), ambush(hidden), flurry, attack</PRE>
If 2+ mobs: hides with Shroud (35 stamina, not already hidden), then Diverts one target (25 stamina, must be hidden). Ambushes if hidden, Flurries on cooldown, attacks as fallback.

<PRE>surge(!surge), bullrush, bearhug, pummel, attack</PRE>
Keeps Surge active (casting only when not on cooldown). Bullrush to apply vulnerable, Bearhug (faster on vulnerable targets), Pummel on cooldown, attack as fallback.

<PRE>surge, shout(buff10), shield strike, pummel(buff60), attack(x2)</PRE>
Keeps Surge active (casting even during cooldown for 60 stamina). Shouts when less than 11 seconds remain on the buff. Shield Strikes, Pummels once per minute, finishes with 2 attacks.

Pin Down if 4+ targets, Volley if 2+ targets. Tangleweed if missing Vigor and Reflex buffs. Barrage if missing Enhanced Dexterity. Spike Thorn (616) if 16+ mana and Arcane Reflex is active. Fire as fallback.

===Hunting Target Examples===
All examples below work for both "valid targets" and "quickhunt targets."

A simple target list using default commands (a) for each creature:
<PRE>crazed zombie, niirsha, sacristan spirit</PRE>

Using different command sets per creature — (a) for zombies and spirits, (b) for niirsha:
<PRE>crazed zombie(a), niirsha(b), sacristan spirit(a)</PRE>

Including [[:Category:Boss creatures|Boss Creature]] variations as valid targets using regex:
<PRE>(?:adroit |afflicted |apt |barbed |belligerent |blurry |canny |combative |dazzling |deft |diseased |drab |dreary |ethereal |flashy |flexile |flickering |flinty |frenzied |ghastly |ghostly |gleaming |glittering |glorious |glowing |grotesque |hardy |illustrious |indistinct |keen |lanky |luminous |lustrous |muculent |nebulous |oozing |pestilent |radiant |raging |ready |resolute |robust |rune-covered |shadowy |shielded |shifting |shimmering |shining |sickly green |sinuous |slimy |sparkling |spindly |spiny |stalwart |steadfast |stout |tattooed |tenebrous |tough |twinkling |unflinching |unyielding |wavering |wispy )?crazed zombie, niirsha, sacristan spirit</PRE>

Advanced regex for Grimswarm hunting with different commands per class:
<PRE>
(?:seasoned |grizzled |battle-scarred |weathered |veteran |hulking |haggard )?Grimswarm (?:giant|troll|orc) (?:dissembler|sorcerer|sorceress|warlock|witch)(a)

==Boon Creatures Tab==
Boss creatures (also called the Boss Creature System) upgrades newly created creatures into bosses, minibosses, or packs. Upgraded creatures have their level and basic stats boosted, and are granted a number of special abilities called '''boons''', which are denoted by a special adjective in the creature's name. Players have alternatively called these "glam critters," "gifted creatures," or "boosted critters."

Additional details are available on the GemStone Wiki: [https://gswiki.play.net/Category:Boss_creatures Category:Boss creatures]

The Boon Creatures tab provides granular control over how Bigshot handles each boon ability. Bigshot uses the ASSESS verb to identify which boons a creature has, then checks your configuration to decide how to respond.

===How It Works===
For each boon ability, you can choose one of three actions:
* '''Common''' - Treat as a normal target and fight it. Uses your hunting commands to kill. Still requires proper valid target matching to engage. This is also the default behavior if no selection is made.
* '''Ignore''' - Skip this creature entirely; do not engage it.
* '''Flee''' - Immediately flee from the room when this boon type is detected.

===Master Toggle===
At the top of the tab is an '''All Boon Creatures''' section with Common, Ignore, and Flee checkboxes. These act as master toggles — checking one will set every individual boon ability across all groups to that action. If all individual items are already set to the same action and you uncheck the "All" toggle, everything gets unchecked.

===Boon Groups===
The individual boon abilities are organized into four collapsible groups, each with its own group-level toggle row ("Entire Group") and individual per-ability rows:

====Immunity====
Boons that make the creature resistant or immune to certain damage types or effects.
{| class="wikitable"
! Boon !! Adjectives !! Notes
|-
| Crit Death Immune || resolute, unflinching || Similar to constructs or golems
|-
| Damage Padding || flinty, tough ||
|-

|-
| Magic Resistance || rune-covered, tattooed || Reduces magic damage by 50%
|-
| Physical Negation || indistinct, nebulous || Physical damage resist shield
|-
| Stun Immune || steadfast, unyielding ||
|}

====Offensive====
Boons that enhance the creature's offensive capabilities.
{| class="wikitable"
! Boon !! Adjectives !! Notes
|-
| Boosted Offense || combative, belligerent ||
|-
| Cheat Death || glorious, illustrious || Raises self after death
|-
| Counter Attack || apt, ready || SMR counter-attack

|-
| Mind Blast || canny, keen ||
|-
| Parting Shot || dreary, drab || Deals damage one last time upon death
|-
| Poisonous || sickly green, oozing || SMR poison gas cloud
|}

====Defensive====
Boons that enhance the creature's defensive capabilities.
{| class="wikitable"
! Boon !! Adjectives !! Notes
|-
| Blink || flickering, wavering || Temporary phase ability
|-
| Bolt Shield || shielded ||
|-
| Boosted Defense || sinuous, flexile || High damage padding (+12 CER)
|-
| Confuse || blurry, shifting || May give hard RT for casting at them
|-
| Crit Padding || stout, hardy ||
|}

====Stats / Misc====
Boons that affect the creature's stats, resistances, or grant miscellaneous special abilities.
{| class="wikitable"
! Boon !! Adjectives !! Notes
|-
| Boosted HP || robust, stalwart ||
|-
| Boosted Mana || luminous, lustrous ||
|-
| Diseased || pestilent, afflicted, diseased ||
|-
| Extra Spells - Elem || glowing ||
|-
| Extra Spells - Spirit || radiant ||
|-
| Extra Spells - Other || twinkling ||
|-
| Ethereal || ethereal, wispy, ghostly || Noncorporeal undead. No Sheer Fear.
|-
| Jack of All Trades || adroit, deft ||
|-
| Regeneration || slimy, muculent || Similar to Troll's Blood (1125)
|-
| Soul Stealing || tenebrous, shadowy || May possess 1204, 1601, and 1712
|-
| Terrifying || ghastly, grotesque || Pre-attack SMR can force player into defensive
|-
| Weaken || spindly, lanky || Weaker creature than normal
|}

===Usage Tips===
* If you are a melee character who struggles with '''Stun Immune''' or '''Crit Death Immune''' creatures, set those to Ignore or Flee while leaving others on Common.
* Casters may want to Flee from '''Dispelling''' and '''Magic Resistance''' boons.
* '''Weaken''' is actually beneficial — the creature is weaker than normal, so leaving it on Common is usually best.
* '''Cheat Death''' creatures will revive after dying; consider Ignore if your build cannot handle killing them twice.
* The configuration is saved per profile, so you can have different boon strategies for different hunting areas.

== Misc Tab==
Various specialized configuration options.

===UAC Options===
Options for configuring Unarmed Combat (UAC):
* '''Tier 3 Attack''' - The attack used when you have reached "excellent" positioning. Options: jab, punch, grapple, or kick.
* '''Aim at location (head, etc)''' - Used for aimed UAC combat, which requires ambush training to be effective. Leave blank if you do not want to aim.
* '''MSTRIKE when creatures equal or greater''' - How many creatures must be present before using MSTRIKE during UAC.
* '''Use Voln SMITE?''' - Will perform a Voln SMITE on [[Non-corporeal]] undead.

'''Quick Setup:''' Bigshot only requires minimal configuration for UAC to work well:
# '''UAC options:''' Set your '''Tier 3 Attack''' (jab, punch, grapple, or kick).
# '''Commands tab:''' Set your '''hunting commands (a)''' to '''unarmed jab'''.

Important notes about UAC in Bigshot:
* <CODE>unarmed jab</CODE> can be replaced with any UAC attack type (e.g., <CODE>unarmed punch</CODE>).
* UAC follow-up strikes take priority over the base or Tier 3 attack.
* Tier 3 attacks are only used when positioning is "excellent".
* There is almost no reason to use anything other than <CODE>unarmed jab</CODE> as the hunting command and either <CODE>grapple</CODE> or <CODE>kick</CODE> as the Tier 3 attack.

===MSTRIKE Options===
Options for when and how MSTRIKE should be used:
* '''MSTRIKE during cooldown stamina requirement''' - How much stamina you need before Bigshot will MSTRIKE during the MSTRIKE cooldown period. Be careful setting this too low, as it can pop your muscles. Leave blank to use your max stamina.
* '''QUICKSTRIKE stamina requirement''' - Stamina required for using QUICKSTRIKE during the MSTRIKE routine.
* '''Unfocused MSTRIKE when creatures equal or greater''' - Number of creatures in the room before Bigshot uses an unfocused (AOE) MSTRIKE instead of a focused one. Default is 2.
* '''MSTRIKE during cooldown''' - Toggle to allow MSTRIKEing during the cooldown period.
* '''Use QUICKSTRIKE for MSTRIKE''' - Toggle to use QUICKSTRIKE instead of normal MSTRIKE.

===Ammo/Wands===
Settings for ammunition and wand management. If your attack routine uses FIRE or WAND verbs, these fields must be configured or Bigshot will hang.

* '''find ammo in this container''' - The container holding your ammunition (quiver, backpack, etc.). Leave BLANK if using FIRE without retrieving ammo (post-Archery 2020 Update).
* '''use this ammo type''' - The noun of your ammo type. Leave BLANK to use FIRE without retrieving ammo. Be precise with the noun — Bigshot is sensitive to exact naming here.
* '''fresh wand container''' - The container Bigshot checks for fresh wands to WAVE.
* '''dead wand container''' - The container where Bigshot deposits used-up wands.
* '''use this wand type''' - The specific wand type(s) to use. Bigshot only pulls these for WAVEing. Separate multiple types with commas. Example: <CODE>aquamarine wand, bloodwood wand</CODE>
* '''Hide while waiting to pick up ammo''' - Bigshot will hide when gathering spent arrows and bolts.
* '''Use wands when out of mana''' - When out of mana, Bigshot pulls the specified wand type, stances to your attack stance, and WAVEs at valid targets until out of wands or resting conditions are met.

===MA Grouping===
Multi-account grouping options:
* '''Looter name''' - The name of the character designated as the looter in Head/Tail configuration.
* '''No-looting list''' - Comma-separated list of characters who should never be assigned looting duty.
* '''Random looting''' - Distributes looting randomly based on encumbrance rather than assigning a fixed looter.
* '''Leader final loot''' - Allows the leader to perform a final loot pass before leaving a room.
* '''Travel TO hunting grounds independently''' - When enabled, group members travel to the hunting area on their own rather than as a group. Bigshot will disband the group and force GROUP OPEN after disbanding.
* '''Travel FROM hunting grounds independently''' - When enabled, group members return from the hunting area on their own.
* '''Stop for dead group members''' - Pauses the group if a follower dies during a hunt.

==Monitoring Tab==
Options for safety, interaction monitoring, and debugging.

* '''Monitor interaction''' - Pops up a window whenever Bigshot detects that someone or something is trying to interact with you. Customizable monitor strings and safe strings can be configured.
* '''Engage deadman's switch''' - Forces Bigshot to quit GemStone IV when your character drops below 40% health, allowing you to log back on and assess the situation manually.
* '''Depart/rerun if dead''' - Forces a DEPART (waking up in the Temple with low spirit), then restarts Bigshot for a fresh hunt. Make sure your "CHECK spirit >=" value in Should Hunt? is set high enough to recover before the next hunt.
* '''Quiet followers''' - Followers wait until the leader finishes both actions and resting scripts before beginning their own.
* '''Ignore disk objects''' - Ignores disk objects when evaluating room claims and other checks.

===Debugging===
Bigshot provides detailed debug options for troubleshooting. Use these commands in-game:
<pre{{log2}}>
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Bigshot Debug Help v5.11.4 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Debug options have changed to be more helpful. |
+--------------------------------------+------------------------------------+
| ;bigshot debug file | Toggles logging to a file <on/off> |
| ;bigshot debug all <true/false> | Toggles true/false all the things |
| ;bigshot debug check | Lists current debug settings |
| ;bigshot debug combat <true/false> | Combat and Creature Status |
| ;bigshot debug commands <true/false> | Attacking and Casting Commands |
| ;bigshot debug status <true/false> | Status Checks of your Character |
| ;bigshot debug system <true/false> | System processes |
| | |
| Options can be combined: |
| ;bigshot debug combat commands status <true/false> |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
</pre>

Debug log files are stored in your Lich5 logs directory under <CODE>debug/<Game>-<CharacterName>/bigshot.log</CODE> and rotate daily.

Lich:Script Ebounty

2026-02-08T02:08:11Z

HORIBU1: update overhaul with all new functionality documented.

{{3rd-party}}
{{TOCright| limit=2}}
EBounty is a management script for automating [[Adventurer's Guild]] bounty tasks. It handles the full lifecycle of obtaining, executing, and turning in bounties.

'''Important:''' AFK scripting on any server other than Shattered is a violation of game policy.

==Overview==

EBounty automates the Adventurer's Guild bounty workflow:

<PRE>
1. Request a bounty from the Adventurer's Guild.
2. If the bounty type is acceptable (based on your settings), execute the task.
3. If no acceptable bounty is available, run a Bigshot hunting routine using your default profile.
4. Once the bounty is complete, turn it in (if not saturated on experience).
5. When the bounty cooldown expires, request a new task.
6. Repeat.
</PRE>

EBounty relies on [[Bigshot]] for all combat-related operations. '''You must configure your Bigshot profiles before setting up EBounty.''' It also uses companion scripts for specific task types: <CODE>;echild</CODE> for rescue tasks, <CODE>;escortgo2</CODE> for escort tasks, <CODE>;eherbs</CODE> for healing, and <CODE>;eloot</CODE> for selling loot. Each of these can be overridden with a custom script of your choice.

==Installation==

Download EBounty from the script repository:

<CODE>;repo download ebounty</CODE>

Since EBounty is actively developed and game changes can affect its functionality, it is strongly recommended to enable auto-updates:

<CODE>;repo set-updatable ebounty</CODE>

===Required Dependencies===
EBounty will check for and notify you of any missing dependencies when it starts. The following scripts are needed based on your configuration:
* '''bigshot''' — Always required (unless using "Just the Basics" mode)
* '''eherbs''' — Required for healing unless you specify a custom healing script or enable "Skip healing"
* '''eloot''' — Required for selling unless you specify a custom selling script
* '''echild''' — Required if you enable Rescue bounties (unless you specify a custom rescue script)
* '''escortgo2''' — Required if you enable Escort bounties (unless you specify a custom escort script)

==Getting Started==

Open the configuration window with:

<CODE>;ebounty setup</CODE>

This opens a GUI with eight tabs: '''General''', '''Resting''', '''Foraging''', '''Heirloom''', '''Bandits''', '''Escort''', '''Exclusions''', and '''Profiles'''. All changes in the GUI are saved automatically.

At minimum, you need to:
# Enable the bounty types you want on the '''General''' tab.
# Select a '''Gem/Default''' profile on the '''Profiles''' tab (this is the Bigshot profile used between bounties).
# Add creature names and associate Bigshot profiles on the '''Profiles''' tab for any creatures you expect to hunt.

Once configured, start EBounty by simply running:

<CODE>;ebounty</CODE>

'''Note:''' EBounty must be started from a mapped room.

==General Tab==
The General tab controls which bounty types you accept, core behavior options, support scripts, and task limits.

===Bounty Types===
Enable or disable each bounty type using the checkboxes. When a bounty type is unchecked, EBounty will automatically ask the Guild to remove that type if received. Available types:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Bounty Type !! Description
|-
| Boss Creature || Hunt a dangerous (boss-level) creature
|-
| Culling || Kill a specified number of a particular creature
|-
| Escort || Escort an NPC between two towns (uses <CODE>;escortgo2</CODE>)
|-
| Foraging || Gather herbs from the wild (see the Foraging tab for options)
|-
| Gem Collecting || Collect specific gems by hunting creatures
|-
| Heirloom (loot) || Recover an heirloom by looting a creature
|-

|-
| Rescue || Rescue a lost child (uses <CODE>;echild</CODE>)
|-
| Skinning || Collect creature skins
|}

===Misc Options===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Option !! Description
|-
| Rest when mind full || When enabled, EBounty will return to your resting location once your experience pool is full. When disabled, it continues hunting until the bounty is complete or another rest condition (injury, low mana, etc.) is triggered.
|-
| Keep hunting || When enabled and no creature-specific Bigshot profile is found, EBounty will use your Gem/Default profile to continue hunting instead of exiting. '''Cannot be used together with "Rest when mind full".'''
|-
| Skip healing || Disables automatic healing between tasks.
|-
| Run one bounty and quit || EBounty will complete a single bounty and then stop.
|-
| Get new bounty before quitting || (Only applies when "Run one bounty and quit" is enabled.) Grabs the next task from the Guild before exiting.
|-
| Just the basics || Only picks up and turns in bounties based on your settings. No automatic hunting, healing, or other routines are performed. Useful if you want to manage combat yourself.
|-
| Use vouchers || EBounty will use Adventurer's Guild vouchers to reroll tasks until a desired bounty type is obtained.
|-
| Use bounty boosts || Activates a bounty boost before hunting. Use the adjacent dropdown to select which bounty type to target when boosted (Any, Kill, Heirloom, Skin, Gem, Escort, Herb, Dangerous, Child, or Bandit).
|-
| Remove bounty if heirloom item is missing || If enabled and the heirloom item gets lost, EBounty will automatically remove the bounty.
|-
| Rejoin group before quitting || If you started EBounty while in a group, it will attempt to rejoin the group leader before exiting.
|-
| Ranger Track || (Rangers only) Uses the Track ability on cooldown to locate bounty targets.
|}

===Support Scripts===
These fields let you override the default helper scripts. Leave blank to use the defaults.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Field !! Default !! Description
|-
| Healing Script || eherbs || Runs when your character is injured between tasks.
|-
| Death Recovery Script || ''(none)'' || Runs if your character dies. If configured, EBounty will attempt to recover and restart automatically.
|-
| Selling Script || eloot || Runs to sell loot and deposit silvers.
|-
| Hording Script || ''(none)'' || Runs before a gem bounty (optional). Enter the script name followed by any necessary parameters (e.g., <CODE>HoardingScriptName param1 param2</CODE>).
|-
| Escort Script || escortgo2 || Handles escort bounty travel.
|-
| Rescue Script || echild || Handles child rescue bounties.
|-
| Gem History || ''(none)'' || An optional script that runs after receiving a gem bounty, useful for tracking which gems are requested.
|}

===Task Limits===
Set maximum values for how many items to collect per bounty type. These caps help prevent excessively long tasks:
* '''Max Culling Kills''' — Maximum number of creatures to kill for a culling bounty.
* '''Max Gems''' — Maximum number of gems to collect.
* '''Max Herbs''' — Maximum number of herbs to forage.
* '''Max Skins''' — Maximum number of skins to collect.
* '''# of Extra Skins''' — How many additional skins to collect beyond the bounty requirement before turning in.

==Resting Tab==
The Resting tab controls where your character rests between tasks and during downtime. '''Only one resting method can be active at a time''' — selecting one will deactivate the others.

===Resting Methods===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Option !! Description
|-
| Use Nearest Table || Travels to the nearest mapped table and sits at it.
|-
| Use Bigshot Resting Room || Uses the resting room configured in your current Bigshot profile.
|-
| Use Custom Resting Area(s) || Enter one or more room numbers (comma-separated) in the text field below. If multiple rooms are listed, one will be selected at random. Supports room IDs and UIDs.
|-
| Use Random Resting Areas || Picks a random [[supernode]] in your current town.
|-
| Use Script to Handle Resting Location || Runs a custom script to manage where you rest. Enter the script name and any parameters in the field below (e.g., <CODE>myscript param1 param2</CODE>).
|}

If no resting method is selected, EBounty defaults to the Nexus (on Shattered) or town center (on Prime).

===Per-Town Resting Locations===
Below the resting method checkboxes, you can customize the random resting room pools for each town. Each field contains a comma-separated list of room IDs that EBounty will randomly choose from when using the "Use Random Resting Areas" option:

Hinter Wilds, Icemule Trace, Kharam Dzu (Teras), Kraken's Fall, Mist Harbor, River's Rest, Sailor's Grief, Solhaven, Ta'Illistim, Ta'Vaalor, Wehnimer's Landing, and Zul Logoth.

===Additional Resting Options===
* '''Join Character''' — When enabled, EBounty will try to join a specific character when resting. Enter one or more character names (comma-separated) in the field; it will try each in order.
* '''Use Buff Script''' — When enabled, EBounty will run a buff script each time it returns to the resting location. Enter the script name and parameters below.

==Foraging Tab==
The Foraging tab configures how EBounty handles herb-gathering bounties. This tab has three sections.

===Foraging Options===
Enable spells, abilities, and behaviors to use while foraging. These help with safety and efficiency:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Option !! Description
|-
| Run from creatures || Flee the room if creatures appear.
|-
| Hide when foraging || Attempt to hide before foraging.
|-
| Rogue Gambits: Stealth || Use the Rogue Stealth gambit while foraging.

|-
| Celerity (506) || Cast spell 506 for faster actions.
|-

|-
| Wall of Force (140) || Cast spell 140 for a defensive barrier.
|-

|-
| Grasp of the Grave (709) || Cast spell 709 to immobilize creatures.
|-

|}

===Pre-Foraging===
* '''Pre-Foraging Commands''' — In-game commands to execute before each foraging session.
* '''Active Foraging Scripts''' — Scripts to run alongside foraging (comma-separated for multiple).

===Post-Foraging===
* '''Post-Foraging Commands''' — In-game commands to execute after foraging is complete.
* '''Post-Foraging Scripts''' — Scripts to run after foraging finishes.

==Heirloom Tab==
The Heirloom tab configures how EBounty handles heirloom ''search'' bounties (where you must search rooms to find the item, not loot it from a creature). This tab mirrors the Foraging tab structure with three sections.

===Search Options===
Enable spells and behaviors to use while searching for heirloom items:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Option !! Description
|-
| Run from creatures || Flee the room if creatures appear.
|-
| Presence (402) || Cast spell 402 to detect nearby items.
|-
| Minor Sanctuary (213) || Cast spell 213 for protection.
|-
| Song of Peace (1011) || Sing Song of Peace to prevent attacks.
|-
| Celerity (506) || Cast spell 506 for speed.
|-
| Mass Calm (619) || Cast spell 619 to pacify creatures.
|-
| Wizard's Shield (919) || Cast spell 919 for protection.
|-
| Wall of Force (140) || Cast spell 140 for defense.
|-
| Grasp of the Grave (709) || Cast spell 709 to immobilize creatures.
|-
| Song of Tonis (1035) || Sing Song of Tonis for speed.
|-
| Flag right hand || By default, found heirloom items are placed on the ground. Enable this to have the item go to your right hand instead.
|}

===Pre-Heirloom Searching===
* '''Pre-Searching Commands''' — In-game commands to execute before beginning the search.
* '''Active Searching Scripts''' — Scripts to run alongside searching.

===Post-Heirloom Searching===
* '''Post-Searching Commands''' — In-game commands to execute after the heirloom is found.
* '''Post-Searching Scripts''' — Scripts to run after searching finishes.

==Bandits Tab==
The Bandits tab configures how EBounty handles bandit suppression bounties.

===Wander Timing===
* '''Wait this long before moving rooms''' — Controls the delay (in seconds) that EBounty waits in each room before moving on while searching for bandits. Adjust this to allow time for bandits to appear.

===Bad Room List===
A table where you can define rooms to avoid during bandit hunting. Each row has two fields:
* '''Location''' — A reference label for the area (does not need to be exact; this is for your convenience only).
* '''Bad Room Numbers''' — A comma-separated list of room IDs or UIDs to skip in that area (e.g., <CODE>228, 188, u76564564</CODE>). UIDs are supported and recommended for instance compatibility.

Multiple locations can be configured so you can exclude problematic rooms across all areas where bandits spawn.

==Escort Tab==
The Escort tab configures how EBounty handles escort bounties — tasks where you accompany an NPC between two towns.

===Travel Preferences===
A grid of checkboxes showing origin and destination town pairs. Enable the routes you are willing to accept. Available towns include Wehnimer's Landing, Solhaven, Icemule Trace, Ta'Illistim, Ta'Vaalor, and Zul Logoth. Only bounties matching your enabled routes will be accepted; others will be dropped.

===Pre-Escort===
* '''Pre-Escort Commands''' — In-game commands to execute before starting the escort.
* '''Active Escort Scripts''' — Scripts to run alongside the escort.

===Post-Escort===
* '''Post-Escort Commands''' — In-game commands to execute after the escort is complete.
* '''Post-Escort Scripts''' — Scripts to run after the escort finishes.

==Exclusions Tab==
The Exclusions tab lets you define things EBounty should never accept a bounty for. There are four exclusion lists, and each supports regular expressions for pattern matching. Add items one at a time using the text field and '''Add''' button. Select an item and click '''Remove''' to delete it.

===Creature Exclusions===
Creature nouns you do not want to hunt. If a bounty targets an excluded creature, EBounty will reject it. Enter the creature noun exactly as it appears in-game (e.g., <CODE>troll</CODE>, <CODE>griffin</CODE>).

===Herb Exclusions===
Herb names you do not want to forage. If a foraging bounty requests an excluded herb, EBounty will reject it.

===Gem Exclusions===
Gem names you do not want to collect. If a gem bounty requests an excluded gem, EBounty will reject it.

===Location Exclusions===
Location/area names you do not want to visit for bounties. If a bounty sends you to an excluded location, EBounty will reject it.

==Profiles Tab==
The Profiles tab is '''the most critical tab for combat'''. This is where you tell EBounty which Bigshot profile to use for each creature. The dropdown menus automatically populate with all Bigshot profiles found in your Bigshot profiles folder.

===Gem/Default Profile===
At the top of the tab, select your '''Gem/Default''' Bigshot profile. This is the profile EBounty uses when:
* Waiting for a bounty timer to expire (hunts using this profile to fill time).
* No specific creature profile is matched.
* Running gem bounties.

'''This field is required.''' EBounty will not start without a default profile selected.

===Bandits Profile===
Below the default, select a profile specifically for bandit bounties. The '''Only Kill Bounty Creatures''' checkbox next to it determines whether EBounty should ignore non-bandit creatures during bandit tasks.

===Creature Profiles (A through J)===
Ten rows (A–J) are available for mapping creatures to Bigshot profiles. Each row has three fields:
* '''Creature Names''' (left) — Enter the full creature noun(s) for this profile. You can enter multiple creatures separated by commas or each on a separate line.
* '''Associated Profile''' (right dropdown) — Select the Bigshot profile to use when fighting these creatures.
* '''Only Kill Bounty Creatures''' (checkbox) — When checked, EBounty will only attack the specific bounty creature and ignore all other creatures in the hunting area.

'''Critical:''' Creature names must match exactly as they appear in-game. Partial or abbreviated names will not work.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Example !! Correct?
|-
| <CODE>executioner</CODE> || ❌ '''Wrong''' — too generic
|-
| <CODE>triton executioner</CODE> || ✅ '''Correct''' — full creature noun
|}

If a creature is not listed in the Exclusions tab and no matching Creature Name can be found in any profile row, EBounty will either use the Gem/Default profile to keep hunting (if "Keep hunting" is enabled on the General tab) or return to the resting spot and exit.

==Command Line Interface (CLI)==

EBounty supports several commands that can be run directly from the game without opening the GUI.

Lich:Script Bigshot

2026-02-08T00:57:08Z

HORIBU1: Massive update to take into account all new functionality added over the years.

{{3rd-party}}
Bigshot is a fully automated hunting script for GemStone IV. It handles combat routines, movement to and from hunting areas, target selection, and attack execution.
AFK scripting on any server other than Shattered is a violation of game policy.

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

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

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

Grab it from the repository: <CODE>;repository download Bigshot</CODE>

===How Do I Make It Go?===
Initial setup is accessed through <CODE>;bigshot setup</CODE>. This opens a configuration window with several tabs for setting up your hunting routine.

As with most scripts, the SETUP command opens a graphical user interface. Use <CODE>;bigshot setup</CODE> to open the dialog. The window contains the following tabs:
* '''Profile''' - Save and load profile configurations. Profiles are saved to your <CODE>\Lich5\data\<GSServer>\<charname>\bigshot_profiles</CODE> directory (e.g., <CODE>\Lich5\data\GSIV\Rinualdo\bigshot_profiles</CODE>). Note: if you previously used Bigshot, the file location has changed from the old <CODE>\Lich5\scripts\bigshot_profiles</CODE> folder. You can copy/paste your old profiles to the new location.
* '''Resting''' - Configure your resting routine, rest location, and conditions that trigger resting.
* '''Hunting''' - Create a hunting map using boundaries, set your starting room, configure attack/wander stances, and define pre-hunt behavior.
* '''Attacking''' - Configure ambush aiming, flee conditions, bless behavior, weapon reactions, and similar combat flags.
* '''Commands''' - Define your valid targets and associated attack routines. See sample routines below.
* '''Boon Creatures''' - Configure how Bigshot handles boss/boon creatures on a per-ability basis (fight, ignore, or flee).
* '''Misc''' - UAC options, MSTRIKE options, ammo/wand configuration, and MA grouping settings.
* '''Monitoring''' - Interaction monitoring, deadman's switch, depart behavior, and debug options.

Each tab is covered in detail further on.

===Other Commands===
Beyond the setup GUI, Bigshot has several command-line options:
* <CODE>;bigshot quick</CODE> - A special hunting mode that kills everything in your current room, then quits. It will not wander or attempt to rest. Uses its own separate hunting commands and targets (configured on the Commands tab).
* <CODE>;bigshot head</CODE> / <CODE>;bigshot tail</CODE> - Multi-account hunting on a single computer. All characters must be set up for the same hunting area. Following characters run <CODE>;bigshot tail</CODE>, then the leader runs <CODE>;bigshot head</CODE>. The leader can optionally specify the expected group size, e.g., <CODE>;bigshot head 3</CODE>. Head and tail can be started in any order.
* <CODE>;bigshot display</CODE> - Shows all your current settings.
* <CODE>;bigshot reset</CODE> - Resets your targetable and untargetable lists. Useful if Bigshot will not target something it should.
* <CODE>;bigshot ranger</CODE> or <CODE>;bigshot companion</CODE> - Resets the ranger companion setting so you can reconfigure it. Use this when you change your companion.
* <CODE>;bigshot profile save <name></CODE> - Saves a profile in YAML format to your character's profile folder. Also accessible via the Profiles tab.
* <CODE>;bigshot profile load <name></CODE> - Loads a profile from your character's profile folder. Also accessible via the Profiles tab.
* <CODE>;bigshot single</CODE> - Executes a single hunting routine, returns to your resting location, and then exits.
* <CODE>;bigshot list</CODE> - Displays all initialized variable values (useful for troubleshooting).
* <CODE>;bigshot test <method> <args></CODE> - Runs a specific internal method for testing purposes.
* <CODE>;bigshot <creature></CODE> - Any input that does not match the above commands defaults to ranger tracking (e.g., <CODE>;bigshot single giant rat</CODE> will track and hunt a giant rat).

==The Profile Tab==
* '''Load Profile''' - Load an existing saved profile. The dropdown will be empty if no profiles have been saved yet.
* '''Current Profile''' - Displays the name of the currently loaded profile.
* '''Save Profile''' - Enter any name for your profile and click Save. Once saved, the profile will appear in the Load Profile dropdown.
* '''Notes''' - A freeform text area for any notes you want to associate with the profile.

==The Resting Tab==
This tab controls where and how Bigshot rests between hunts. During rest mode, Bigshot checks your mind state, hit points, wound status, mana, and spirit. Once all conditions defined in the "Should Hunt?" section are met, Bigshot leaves rest mode and begins a new hunt.

===Where to Rest===
* '''room id''' - The room Bigshot returns to for resting. Uses room numbers from Map/Go2. Supports both Lich IDs and SimuIDs (prefix SimuIDs with "u", e.g., <CODE>228</CODE> for Town Square Central or <CODE>u7120</CODE>).
* '''return waypoints''' - Optional intermediate room IDs that Bigshot will pass through when returning to rest. Separate multiple waypoints with commas.
* '''pre-rest commands''' - Commands executed before entering rest mode. Example: <CODE>shea, wear shield, sit, stance offensive, rest</CODE>. This will sheathe your weapon, wear your shield, sit down, enter offensive stance, and use the REST verb. You can also call scripts here using the <CODE>script</CODE> prefix, e.g., <CODE>script go2 place</CODE>.
* '''active resting scripts''' - Scripts that run upon entering rest mode for between-hunt tasks such as selling loot, spelling up, or healing. Example: <CODE>eloot sell, waggle, eherbs</CODE>. This will sell via eloot, spell up via waggle, then use herbs from your PACK to heal wounds.
* '''Fog Option''' - Determines how Bigshot returns to rest. Options include:
** '''None''' - Walk normally (no teleportation).
** '''130''' - Uses [[Spirit Guide (130)]] first; falls back to Symbol of Return if it fails.
** '''Symbol of Return''' - Uses Voln [[Symbol of Return]] first; falls back to 130 if it fails.
** '''Traveler's Song (1020)''' - Attempts [[Traveler's Song (1020)]] once, then continues.
** '''Familiar Gate (930)''' - Attempts [[Familiar Gate (930)]] to summon a portal and walk through it. Will perform a mana pulse if not enough mana is detected.
** '''Sigil of Escape''' - Uses [[Sigil of Escape]].
** '''Custom''' - Allows a comma-separated list of custom commands to perform.
* '''Fog ONLY if wounded or encumbered''' - When checked, Bigshot will only use the fog option if you are actually wounded or encumbered. Otherwise it walks normally.
* '''Fog twice from the Rift''' - When checked, Bigshot will double-cast the fog spell when returning from the Rift (useful since the Rift requires two uses to escape).

===Should Rest?===
Bigshot evaluates these conditions to decide when to leave a hunt and return to rest.
* '''when percent mind >='''
** Triggers resting when your mind has reached this threshold. Generally set to 100 (fried). Default is 100.
* '''and extra kills >='''
** The number of additional monsters to kill after reaching your "when percent mind" threshold and after LTE boosts are used. Set to 0 to rest immediately upon reaching the mind threshold.
* '''and used lte boosts >='''
** The number of LTE (Long-Term Experience) boosts Bigshot will attempt to use after reaching the mind threshold. Set to 0 to skip LTE boosts entirely.
* '''or percent mana <='''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when your mana percentage is at or below this value. Can be set to 0, but leaving a small buffer is useful (e.g., for Unlock (406) to open the WL Graveyard gate). If you encounter an "OOM" error, try setting this to 1.
* '''or percent encumbrance >='''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when your encumbrance reaches or exceeds this percentage.
* '''or wounded eval'''
** Allows you to set a Ruby evaluation expression to determine if you are too wounded to continue. Can trigger on bleeding, specific wound levels, inability to cast, scars, and more.

The following is a wounded evaluation that will rest whenever you have any level II wounds:
<PRE>XMLData.injuries.any?{|key,value| value["wound"] > 1} || Char.percent_health <= 70</PRE>
The following is a wound evaluation that will take you home if you can no longer cast (bleeding, nerves, level 2 head/eyes, bad scars, etc.):
<PRE>bleeding? || Char.percent_health <= 25 || [Wounds.head, Scars.head, Wounds.leftEye, Scars.leftEye, Wounds.rightEye, Scars.rightEye, Wounds.nsys, Scars.nsys].max > 1 || [Wounds.leftArm, Wounds.leftHand, Wounds.rightArm, Wounds.rightHand, Scars.leftArm, Scars.leftHand, Scars.rightArm, Scars.rightHand].max > 2 || ([Wounds.leftArm, Wounds.leftHand, Scars.leftArm, Scars.leftHand].max + [Wounds.rightArm, Wounds.rightHand, Scars.rightArm, Scars.rightHand].max) >= 3</PRE>
The following can be appended to either wound evaluation above to also rest upon having popped muscles:
<PRE>|| Effects::Debuffs.active?("Overexerted")</PRE>

* '''when creeping dread >='''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when your creeping dread level reaches or exceeds this value.
* '''when crushing dread >='''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when your crushing dread level reaches or exceeds this value.
* '''Wall of Thorns Poison'''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when you are affected by Wall of Thorns poison.
* '''Confusion Debuff'''
** Forces Bigshot to rest when you are affected by the non-dispellable Confusion debuff.
* '''Box in hand'''
** Forces Bigshot to rest if looting leaves a box in your hand.

==The Hunting Tab==
This tab controls when and where Bigshot hunts, any pre-hunt preparation, and the map boundaries for wandering.

===The Hunting Map===
Your hunting map consists of '''Boundaries''' (rooms Bigshot will never enter) and a '''Starting Room''' (the first room Bigshot moves to when a hunt begins). These function similarly to the boundaries in the ;Wander script, but are stored in Bigshot's own configuration files.

* '''starting room ID''' - The first room Bigshot travels to when beginning a hunt. Set this to any room within your boundaries.
* '''boundary rooms''' - Rooms that act as walls. Bigshot will never enter a boundary room.

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

In the diagram above, "B" is a boundary room and "A" is outside the hunting area. Rooms marked "0" are the huntable area. Bigshot will wander freely among the "0" rooms but never cross into "B" or "A".

Boundary room IDs are separated by commas. Some popular examples:

'''Rift Boundaries:'''
<PRE>
Plane 1: 2635, 12101, 12208
Plane 2: 2605, 2635, 12093
Plane 3: 2635, 12089, 12152
Plane 4: 12122, 12207, 12235
Plane 5: 2579
North Scatter: 12151, 12254, 12256, 12249, 12247, 12241
South Scatter: 12151, 12219, 12217, 12233, 12237, 12239
</PRE>

'''Maaghara Boundaries:'''
<PRE>9734</PRE>

'''Confluence Boundaries:'''
<PRE>2300, 3519, 228, 188, 1932, 10855, 3668, 1438, 1005</PRE>

Imagine a hunting area that is a six-room square. To enter this square, you must GO DOORWAY from room A. You would set room A (outside the square, before the doorway) as a boundary. Then set room B (just inside the square) as the starting room. Bigshot will move to room B and wander within the bounded area until your "Should Rest?" conditions are met.

* '''rally point rooms''' - Optional intermediate room IDs Bigshot will pass through on the way to the hunting area. Separate multiple rooms with commas.

===Hunting Settings===
* '''wait before wandering to another room''' - Time in seconds Bigshot waits before leaving a room to look for creatures. Default is 0.3. Set to 0 for fastest (but spammy) movement.
* '''attack stance''' - The stance Bigshot switches to when issuing attack commands. Bigshot remains in defensive stance until an attack is triggered, then stances to your specified attack stance. Recognizes all game stances from Offensive through Defensive.
* '''wander stance''' - The stance Bigshot uses while moving between rooms. Defaults to Defensive.
* '''stand up stance''' - The stance Bigshot enters when standing up after being knocked down. Defaults to Defensive.
* '''pre-hunt commands''' - Commands executed before Bigshot uses Go2 to travel to your starting room. Example: <CODE>gird, stance defensive</CODE>. This ensures your weapon is readied and you are in defensive stance before traveling. Use this line for short-lived combat spells like 1605 (Arm of the Arkati).
* '''active hunting scripts''' - Scripts that run while Bigshot is in hunt mode. Use these for complex behaviors that Bigshot does not natively support (e.g., keeping certain spells active or executing CMANs based on conditions).
* '''society abilities/spells/cmans''' - Abilities Bigshot keeps active during a hunt. Enter numerical designations separated by commas. For example, entering <CODE>506</CODE> keeps Haste up, recasting whenever it wears off. Hover over this field in the GUI for a list of supported values. Supported options include spells that can be ignored by rapidfire cooldown: e.g., <CODE>515 (ignore)</CODE> or <CODE>rapidfire (ignore)</CODE>.
* '''loot script''' - The script Bigshot calls to loot your kills (e.g., <CODE>eloot</CODE>). Make sure the loot script is properly configured via its own SETUP command, or Bigshot may error.
* '''wracking spirit >=''' - If your spirit is greater than or equal to this value, Bigshot will WRACK for mana. Setting it to 6 will wrack down to 5 spirit. Only functions when the wracking checkbox is enabled.
* '''Use sign of wracking/sigil of power''' - Checkbox to enable wracking.
* '''Check for favor before using Voln symbols''' - Checkbox to verify you have sufficient favor before casting Voln society symbols.
* '''Priority hunt''' - When enabled, Bigshot targets creatures in the order listed in your valid targets field. If a higher-priority creature enters the room, Bigshot switches to it. When using <CODE>;bigshot quick</CODE>, quickhunt targets take priority, followed by any remaining targets in room order.
* '''Delay looting''' - Delays the looting of creatures in a room.
* '''Defensive stance before looting''' - Switches to defensive stance before looting begins.
* '''Pull players to feet''' - Attempts to pull players to their feet when passing them.
* '''Stop for dead players''' - Pauses Bigshot if you encounter a dead player.
* '''Troubadour's Rally''' - Enables the use of Troubadour's Rally during hunts.
* '''Sneaky Sneaky''' - Sneak around while moving through the hunting area.

===Should Hunt?===
Bigshot evaluates these conditions to determine if you are ready to begin a hunt from rest.
* '''when percent mind <='''
** Setting this to 51 will wait until "Clear". Setting it to 65 will wait until "Muddled".
* '''and percent mana >='''
** The percentage of your maximum mana that must be present before hunting. Setting below 50 results in short hunts if you cast frequently. Generally set to 95 or higher.
* '''and CHECK spirit >='''
** Bigshot checks that your current spirit value is at least this amount. Make sure this is high enough that Bigshot will not immediately hunt after DEPARTing if you have the "Depart / re-run" option enabled on the Monitoring tab.
* '''and percent stamina >='''
** The percentage of your maximum stamina that must be present before hunting. Useful for melee-heavy builds that rely on stamina for CMANs and MSTRIKEs.

==The Attacking Tab==
This tab controls aiming, flee conditions, and various combat behavior toggles.

* '''Ambush aiming locations (head, etc)''' - The order Bigshot aims when ambushing. Default is head, right leg, left leg, chest. Bigshot cycles through these and skips locations that are too injured or unreachable.
* '''Archery aiming locations (head, etc)''' - The order Bigshot aims when using archery attacks. Loops through your aiming list.
* '''flee if enemy count is >''' - Flees the room if the total number of enemies exceeds this value. Set to 1 to engage only single targets.
* '''...but don't count these''' - Bigshot ignores these monsters when evaluating flee count. Useful when low-level monsters are mixed into your hunting area.
* '''...and always flee from''' - Bigshot immediately flees from these monsters. Useful when your hunting area has higher-level or dangerous monsters mixed in.
* '''flee from environment message''' - Bigshot flees whenever the game sends a message matching this text (uses XML regex matching).
* '''wait before wandering to another room''' - Time in seconds before moving to a new room. Default is 0.3. Set to 0 to move instantly (can be spammy for others in the area).
* '''Approach lone targets only''' - Forces Bigshot to only begin combat against creatures that are alone in a room.
* '''Bless weapon?''' - Performs a Consecrate (1604), then a Cleric Bless or Voln Bless on any weapon that loses its bless during hunting. If unable to bless during hunting, Bigshot returns to the rest area and quits.
* '''Activate weapon reactions''' - Initiates reactive strikes when the opportunity presents itself.
* '''Flee from clouds''' - Flees from cloud spells such as 125 (Call Lightning/Ominous Cloud), 1704 (Stun Cloud), and 1713 (Death Cloud).
* '''Flee from vines''' - Flees from vine spells such as 610 (Tangle Weed).
* '''Flee from webs''' - Flees from webs.
* '''Flee from voids''' - Flees from voids.

==Commands Tab==
This is the core of Bigshot — where you define your attack routines.

===Hunting Commands===
* '''hunting commands (a)''' - The primary commands Bigshot executes when in a room with a valid target. Commands are separated by commas. Bigshot recognizes most hunting verbs; unrecognized commands are sent directly as-is via fput. The following are recognized hunting commands:
** '''kill''' - Attacks using the KILL verb.
** '''incant <spell number>''' - Casts the specified spell with INCANT. Automatically stances into offensive for bolt and stance-sensitive spells. You can CHANNEL via <CODE>INCANT SET CHANNEL <spell></CODE> (a standard GSIV verb) or by setting <CODE>SET ChannelIncant ON</CODE>, which will CHANNEL an INCanted spell if you are in a stance higher than neutral.
** '''channel <spell number>''' - Channels the specified spell at the target. Requires a stance higher than neutral to have effect.
** '''<spell number>''' - Casts the specified spell using PREPARE and CAST.
** '''wand''' - Gets a wand from your specified container and WAVEs it at the target.
** '''wandolier''' - Similar to wand, but designed for wandoliers. Gets a wand from the fresh wand container and waves it; rubs the container if no wands are found. Default waves in offensive stance. Use <CODE>wandolier defensive</CODE> to wave in a different stance.
** '''fire''' - Gets ammunition from your specified container and FIREs at the target. Aims based on Archery aiming settings on the Attacking tab.
** '''aim <location>''' - Aims at the specified body location.
** '''ambush''' - Uses the AMBUSH verb to attack, aiming based on Attacking tab settings. Can also aim dynamically: <CODE>ambush head</CODE> overrides default settings for that attack.
** '''wait <time>''' - Stance dances by going into Defensive stance for the specified time (in seconds). Bigshot will exit early if the target swings or casts, then evaluate the rest of the attack routine from your attack stance.
** '''mstrike''' - Executes MSTRIKE based on cooldown and stamina. Has its own options page under the Misc tab. Can also be used with UAC: <CODE>mstrike punch</CODE>.
** '''berserk''' - Executes the BERSERK verb and waits until it fades.
** '''throw''' - Empties hands, attempts throw, then retrieves the items you emptied.
** '''weed/kweed''' - Casts 610 at the target. Using <CODE>kweed</CODE> forces EVOKE 610, ensuring the damage version.
** '''curse <type>''' - Preps 715 and uses the specified curse type. Valid types: Clumsy, Weakness, Darkness, Itch, Hex, Pox, Nightmare, Star. Skips "curse star" if the buff is already active.
** '''unarmed <type>''' - Uses the Bigshot UAC routine. Valid types: punch, jab, kick, grapple. The routine uses appropriate attacks to rank up and applies MSTRIKE based on MSTRIKE options. Example: <CODE>unarmed jab</CODE>.
** '''smite''' - Performs an [[Order of Voln]] [[Kai's_Smite|Smite]] on the target until successful.
** '''leech''' - Performs a [[Mana Leech (516)]] on the target if cooldown is under 15 minutes.
** '''script <script name>''' - Executes a specified custom attack script.
** '''hide''' - Repeatedly attempts to hide until successful or gives up.
** '''sleep <nostance>''' - Pauses Bigshot for the specified number of seconds. Example: <CODE>sleep 10</CODE> or <CODE>sleep 10 nostance</CODE>. Useful for timed hunting, e.g., <CODE>410, sleep 15</CODE> will E-wave, then wait 15 seconds before re-evaluating.
** '''stance <stance>''' - Changes stance. Example: <CODE>stance defensive</CODE>.
** '''nudgeweapons''' - Moves all weapons on the ground to an adjacent room. Useful for casting Implosion (720).
** '''force <cmd> until <endroll>''' - Repeats a command until a desired endroll is achieved. Example: <CODE>force incant 1002 until 101</CODE>. Only works for standard swings/spells/CMANs.
** '''eachtarget <cmd>''' - Issues the command against each valid target in the room.
** '''efury <fire|cold>''' - Casts Earthen Fury (917) on the target and waits for the DOT to end or 12 seconds to pass.
** '''caststop <spell>''' - Casts the spell and immediately stops it after casting.
** '''wield <noun> <left|right>''' - Wields a new item in the specified hand and stores the current item.
** '''store''' - Stores items in left, right, or both hands (only if something is in those hands).
** '''tether <recast>''' - Casts 706 with built-in wait logic. The optional <CODE>recast</CODE> flag will auto-recast 706 on creature death and transfer DOTs to a new target.
** '''unravel <spell>''' - Casts 1013 (Song of Unravelling). Optionally specify a spell number to target against the creature.
** '''depress''' - Casts 1015 (Song of Depression) with built-in logic.
** '''phase''' - Force-casts 704 (Phase) using PREP/CAST, required for NPC targeting to convert non-corporeal to corporeal undead.

* '''hunting commands (b) through (j)''' - Additional attack routines tied to creature flags. When you flag a creature in your valid targets (e.g., <CODE>niirsha(b)</CODE>), Bigshot uses the matching command set. This allows different attack strategies for different creature types.
* '''fried hunting commands''' - Commands executed specifically when your mind is fried. Useful in group hunting where you still want to contribute.
* '''quick hunting commands''' - Commands executed when using <CODE>;bigshot quick</CODE>.
* '''valid targets''' - The monsters you are hunting. Bigshot works best with creature NOUNs (e.g., <CODE>ogre</CODE> instead of <CODE>a large ogre</CODE>). Use commas to separate multiple targets: <CODE>manticore, thrak</CODE>. If left blank, Bigshot will target everything in the room. Supports regex for advanced matching.
* '''quickhunt targets''' - Designated targets for the <CODE>;bigshot quick</CODE> option.

===PSM3 Integration===
Bigshot supports weapon/shield skills and warcries. Assaults wait until they finish or are interrupted. The following are recognized PSM3 commands:

'''Assaults''' (wait until completed/interrupted):
* barrage, flurry, fury, gthrusts, pummel, thrash
* fury can specify a default attack: <CODE>fury punch</CODE> or <CODE>fury kick</CODE> (defaults to jab)

'''Setups''' (execute on cooldown — pair with prone/stun/root checks):
* charge, cripple, dizzyingswing, pindown, twinhammer

'''AOE''' (execute on cooldown — limit with mob checks):
* clash, cyclone, pulverize, volley, wblade, whirlwind

'''Warcries:'''
* '''shout''' - Performs warcry Shout. Must use a command check or it will shout every loop: <CODE>shout(!shout)</CODE> or <CODE>shout(buff10 s25)</CODE>

* '''holler''' - Performs warcry Holler, taunting all mobs. Example: <CODE>holler(s60)</CODE>
* '''bellow, growl, cry''' - Offensive warcries. Use with <CODE>target</CODE> for single target or <CODE>all</CODE> for AOE.

'''Shield Skills:'''
* shield bash, shield charge, shield pin, shield push, shield strike, shield trample, shield throw

'''Combat Maneuvers:'''

<PRE>slayer 302 (x99)</PRE>

===Command Checks===
Command checks let you add conditions to any command. The format is:
<CODE>COMMAND (CHECKS)(REPETITIONS)</CODE>

Example: <CODE>hamstring (mob1 prone)(x2)</CODE>. The (x#) repetition must be in a separate set of parentheses. Note that (xx) is shorthand for (x5), not unlimited.

Checks can be combined inside a single set of parentheses with spaces between them. Example: <CODE>kill(m20 s5 e20)</CODE>

Each check also has an inverse — prefix with <CODE>!</CODE> to negate. Example: <CODE>kill(!m20 !s5 !e20)</CODE>

'''Resource and Status Checks:'''
* '''s#''' - Requires at least # stamina.
* '''m#''' - Requires at least # mana.

'''Creature Checks:'''
* '''mob#''' - Requires at least # NPCs in the room. Only useful for 2 or more creatures.
<PRE>To further clarify the mob# implementation:
1 mob, mob2: 1 IS less than 2 — attack does NOT proceed.
2 mobs, mob2: 2 IS NOT less than 2 — attack CAN proceed.
1 mob, !mob2: 1 IS NOT more than 2 — attack CAN proceed.
2 mobs, !mob2: 2 IS NOT more than 2 — attack CAN proceed.
3 mobs, !mob2: 3 IS more than 2 — attack does NOT proceed.</PRE>
* '''valid#''' - Like mob#, but only counts valid targets you are actively targeting in current settings.
* '''tier#''' - Checks your current UAC tier (1, 2, 3). Performs the command if your tier is equal to or greater than #. <CODE>(!tier3)</CODE> skips the command at tier 3.
* '''prone''' - Checks that the target is NOT sleeping, webbed, stunned, kneeling, sitting, lying down, prone, frozen, or held in place. Performs the command if none of those apply.
* '''frozen''' - Similar to prone but broken out separately. Useful for archers against non-corporeal creatures that deflect ranged attacks. Corporeal creatures that are stunned will break this check.
* '''undead''' - Performs the command if the target is undead.

** If the command is not a spell, censer only checks you have enough mana for 320.

===Example Attack Routines===
<PRE>wait 10, kill (x3)</PRE>
Waits 10 seconds for the monster to swing or cast, then counter-attacks from your specified attack stance. Swings three times, then goes back to defensive and waits again.

<PRE>wait 15, incant 505, incant 903 (xx)</PRE>
Waits 15 seconds, then INCants 505 (Hand of Tonis) to knock down or stun the target. Follows up with repeated casts of 903 (Minor Water) until the target is dead (up to 5 times).

<PRE>stance defensive and incant 1615, kill (x100)</PRE>
Casts 1615 (Divine Strike) from defensive stance, then uses KILL continuously until the target is dead or 100 swings (whichever comes first).

<PRE>force feint until 101, kill (x2)</PRE>
Uses FEINT against the target until a successful endroll, then hits twice before trying FEINT again.

<PRE>stance defensive and hide, ambush left leg</PRE>
Hides from defensive stance, then ambushes the target's left leg. Repeats (hides again) after roundtime.

<PRE>incant 720(m50), incant 708, incant 702 channel(xx)</PRE>
Casts 720 (Implosion) if you have 50+ mana, then INCants 708 (Limb Disruption) at the default aim location, then channels 702 (Mana Disruption) up to 5 times or until dead.

<PRE>prep 708, cast at left leg / prep 708 channel at left leg, incant 719 (m50)(x1), incant 702 (xx)</PRE>
Prepares 708 and CASTs at the left leg. The second variant prepares and CHANNELs at the left leg. Then casts 719 (Dark Catalyst) once if 50+ mana. Finally, INCants 702 until the creature is dead.

<PRE>wait 30, unarmed punch</PRE>
Waits 30 seconds or until the target attacks, then begins UAC combat using Punch to tier up.

<PRE>shield charge (s15 prone), ambush, mstrike</PRE>
Shield charges the target if you have 15+ stamina and the target is NOT prone. Then ambushes based on Attacking tab settings (cycling through configured aim locations). Then MSTRIKEs — focused if below the creature threshold, unfocused if at or above it. Use <CODE>mstrike target</CODE> to always focus, or set unfocused threshold very high.

<PRE>bellow all, wblade(mob3), flurry(!flurry), attack</PRE>
AOE bellows, then Whirling Blade if 3+ targets. Flurries if the Slashing Strikes buff is not active. Falls back to basic attack.

<PRE>holler, shield throw(mob3), flurry, thrash, attack</PRE>
Taunts with Holler, Shield Throws if 3+ targets, Flurries on cooldown, Thrashes on cooldown, and attacks as a fallback.

<PRE>shroud(s35 !hidden mob2), divert (s25 hidden mob2), ambush(hidden), flurry, attack</PRE>
If 2+ mobs: hides with Shroud (35 stamina, not already hidden), then Diverts one target (25 stamina, must be hidden). Ambushes if hidden, Flurries on cooldown, attacks as fallback.

<PRE>surge(!surge), bullrush, bearhug, pummel, attack</PRE>
Keeps Surge active (casting only when not on cooldown). Bullrush to apply vulnerable, Bearhug (faster on vulnerable targets), Pummel on cooldown, attack as fallback.

<PRE>surge, shout(buff10), shield strike, pummel(buff60), attack(x2)</PRE>
Keeps Surge active (casting even during cooldown for 60 stamina). Shouts when less than 11 seconds remain on the buff. Shield Strikes, Pummels once per minute, finishes with 2 attacks.

<PRE>pindown(mob4), volley(mob2), weed(!vigor !reflex), barrage(!barrage), incant 616 (m16 reflex), fire</PRE>
Pin Down if 4+ targets, Volley if 2+ targets. Tangleweed if missing Vigor and Reflex buffs. Barrage if missing Enhanced Dexterity. Spike Thorn (616) if 16+ mana and Arcane Reflex is active. Fire as fallback.

===Hunting Target Examples===
All examples below work for both "valid targets" and "quickhunt targets."

A simple target list using default commands (a) for each creature:
<PRE>crazed zombie, niirsha, sacristan spirit</PRE>

Using different command sets per creature — (a) for zombies and spirits, (b) for niirsha:
<PRE>crazed zombie(a), niirsha(b), sacristan spirit(a)</PRE>

Including [[:Category:Boss creatures|Boss Creature]] variations as valid targets using regex:
<PRE>(?:adroit |afflicted |apt |barbed |belligerent |blurry |canny |combative |dazzling |deft |diseased |drab |dreary |ethereal |flashy |flexile |flickering |flinty |frenzied |ghastly |ghostly |gleaming |glittering |glorious |glowing |grotesque |hardy |illustrious |indistinct |keen |lanky |luminous |lustrous |muculent |nebulous |oozing |pestilent |radiant |raging |ready |resolute |robust |rune-covered |shadowy |shielded |shifting |shimmering |shining |sickly green |sinuous |slimy |sparkling |spindly |spiny |stalwart |steadfast |stout |tattooed |tenebrous |tough |twinkling |unflinching |unyielding |wavering |wispy )?crazed zombie, niirsha, sacristan spirit</PRE>

Advanced regex for Grimswarm hunting with different commands per class:
<PRE>
(?:seasoned |grizzled |battle-scarred |weathered |veteran |hulking |haggard )?Grimswarm (?:giant|troll|orc) (?:dissembler|sorcerer|sorceress|warlock|witch)(a)

==Boon Creatures Tab==
Boss creatures (also called the Boss Creature System) upgrades newly created creatures into bosses, minibosses, or packs. Upgraded creatures have their level and basic stats boosted, and are granted a number of special abilities called '''boons''', which are denoted by a special adjective in the creature's name. Players have alternatively called these "glam critters," "gifted creatures," or "boosted critters."

Additional details are available on the GemStone Wiki: [https://gswiki.play.net/Category:Boss_creatures Category:Boss creatures]

The Boon Creatures tab provides granular control over how Bigshot handles each boon ability. Bigshot uses the ASSESS verb to identify which boons a creature has, then checks your configuration to decide how to respond.

===How It Works===
For each boon ability, you can choose one of three actions:
* '''Common''' - Treat as a normal target and fight it. Uses your hunting commands to kill. Still requires proper valid target matching to engage. This is also the default behavior if no selection is made.
* '''Ignore''' - Skip this creature entirely; do not engage it.
* '''Flee''' - Immediately flee from the room when this boon type is detected.

===Master Toggle===
At the top of the tab is an '''All Boon Creatures''' section with Common, Ignore, and Flee checkboxes. These act as master toggles — checking one will set every individual boon ability across all groups to that action. If all individual items are already set to the same action and you uncheck the "All" toggle, everything gets unchecked.

===Boon Groups===
The individual boon abilities are organized into four collapsible groups, each with its own group-level toggle row ("Entire Group") and individual per-ability rows:

====Immunity====
Boons that make the creature resistant or immune to certain damage types or effects.
{| class="wikitable"

|-
| Magic Resistance || rune-covered, tattooed || Reduces magic damage by 50%
|-
| Physical Negation || indistinct, nebulous || Physical damage resist shield
|-
| Stun Immune || steadfast, unyielding ||
|}

====Offensive====
Boons that enhance the creature's offensive capabilities.

|-
| Boosted Defense || sinuous, flexile || High damage padding (+12 CER)

{| class="wikitable"
! Boon !! Adjectives !! Notes
|-
| Boosted HP || robust, stalwart ||
|-
| Boosted Mana || luminous, lustrous ||
|-
| Diseased || pestilent, afflicted, diseased ||
|-

|}

===Usage Tips===
* If you are a melee character who struggles with '''Stun Immune''' or '''Crit Death Immune''' creatures, set those to Ignore or Flee while leaving others on Common.
* Casters may want to Flee from '''Dispelling''' and '''Magic Resistance''' boons.
* '''Weaken''' is actually beneficial — the creature is weaker than normal, so leaving it on Common is usually best.
* '''Cheat Death''' creatures will revive after dying; consider Ignore if your build cannot handle killing them twice.
* The configuration is saved per profile, so you can have different boon strategies for different hunting areas.

== Misc Tab==
Various specialized configuration options.

===UAC Options===
Options for configuring Unarmed Combat (UAC):
* '''Tier 3 Attack''' - The attack used when you have reached "excellent" positioning. Options: jab, punch, grapple, or kick.
* '''Aim at location (head, etc)''' - Used for aimed UAC combat, which requires ambush training to be effective. Leave blank if you do not want to aim.
* '''MSTRIKE when creatures equal or greater''' - How many creatures must be present before using MSTRIKE during UAC.
* '''Use Voln SMITE?''' - Will perform a Voln SMITE on [[Non-corporeal]] undead.

'''Quick Setup:''' Bigshot only requires minimal configuration for UAC to work well:
# '''UAC options:''' Set your '''Tier 3 Attack''' (jab, punch, grapple, or kick).
# '''Commands tab:''' Set your '''hunting commands (a)''' to '''unarmed jab'''.

Important notes about UAC in Bigshot:
* <CODE>unarmed jab</CODE> can be replaced with any UAC attack type (e.g., <CODE>unarmed punch</CODE>).
* UAC follow-up strikes take priority over the base or Tier 3 attack.
* Tier 3 attacks are only used when positioning is "excellent".
* There is almost no reason to use anything other than <CODE>unarmed jab</CODE> as the hunting command and either <CODE>grapple</CODE> or <CODE>kick</CODE> as the Tier 3 attack.

===MSTRIKE Options===
Options for when and how MSTRIKE should be used:
* '''MSTRIKE during cooldown stamina requirement''' - How much stamina you need before Bigshot will MSTRIKE during the MSTRIKE cooldown period. Be careful setting this too low, as it can pop your muscles. Leave blank to use your max stamina.
* '''QUICKSTRIKE stamina requirement''' - Stamina required for using QUICKSTRIKE during the MSTRIKE routine.
* '''Unfocused MSTRIKE when creatures equal or greater''' - Number of creatures in the room before Bigshot uses an unfocused (AOE) MSTRIKE instead of a focused one. Default is 2.
* '''MSTRIKE during cooldown''' - Toggle to allow MSTRIKEing during the cooldown period.
* '''Use QUICKSTRIKE for MSTRIKE''' - Toggle to use QUICKSTRIKE instead of normal MSTRIKE.

===Ammo/Wands===
Settings for ammunition and wand management. If your attack routine uses FIRE or WAND verbs, these fields must be configured or Bigshot will hang.

* '''find ammo in this container''' - The container holding your ammunition (quiver, backpack, etc.). Leave BLANK if using FIRE without retrieving ammo (post-Archery 2020 Update).
* '''use this ammo type''' - The noun of your ammo type. Leave BLANK to use FIRE without retrieving ammo. Be precise with the noun — Bigshot is sensitive to exact naming here.
* '''fresh wand container''' - The container Bigshot checks for fresh wands to WAVE.
* '''dead wand container''' - The container where Bigshot deposits used-up wands.
* '''use this wand type''' - The specific wand type(s) to use. Bigshot only pulls these for WAVEing. Separate multiple types with commas. Example: <CODE>aquamarine wand, bloodwood wand</CODE>
* '''Hide while waiting to pick up ammo''' - Bigshot will hide when gathering spent arrows and bolts.
* '''Use wands when out of mana''' - When out of mana, Bigshot pulls the specified wand type, stances to your attack stance, and WAVEs at valid targets until out of wands or resting conditions are met.

===MA Grouping===
Multi-account grouping options:
* '''Looter name''' - The name of the character designated as the looter in Head/Tail configuration.
* '''No-looting list''' - Comma-separated list of characters who should never be assigned looting duty.
* '''Random looting''' - Distributes looting randomly based on encumbrance rather than assigning a fixed looter.
* '''Leader final loot''' - Allows the leader to perform a final loot pass before leaving a room.
* '''Travel TO hunting grounds independently''' - When enabled, group members travel to the hunting area on their own rather than as a group. Bigshot will disband the group and force GROUP OPEN after disbanding.
* '''Travel FROM hunting grounds independently''' - When enabled, group members return from the hunting area on their own.
* '''Stop for dead group members''' - Pauses the group if a follower dies during a hunt.

==Monitoring Tab==
Options for safety, interaction monitoring, and debugging.

* '''Monitor interaction''' - Pops up a window whenever Bigshot detects that someone or something is trying to interact with you. Customizable monitor strings and safe strings can be configured.
* '''Engage deadman's switch''' - Forces Bigshot to quit GemStone IV when your character drops below 40% health, allowing you to log back on and assess the situation manually.
* '''Depart/rerun if dead''' - Forces a DEPART (waking up in the Temple with low spirit), then restarts Bigshot for a fresh hunt. Make sure your "CHECK spirit >=" value in Should Hunt? is set high enough to recover before the next hunt.
* '''Quiet followers''' - Followers wait until the leader finishes both actions and resting scripts before beginning their own.
* '''Ignore disk objects''' - Ignores disk objects when evaluating room claims and other checks.

===Debugging===
Bigshot provides detailed debug options for troubleshooting. Use these commands in-game:
<pre{{log2}}>
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Bigshot Debug Help v5.11.4 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Debug options have changed to be more helpful. |
+--------------------------------------+------------------------------------+
| ;bigshot debug file | Toggles logging to a file <on/off> |
| ;bigshot debug all <true/false> | Toggles true/false all the things |
| ;bigshot debug check | Lists current debug settings |
| ;bigshot debug combat <true/false> | Combat and Creature Status |
| ;bigshot debug commands <true/false> | Attacking and Casting Commands |
| ;bigshot debug status <true/false> | Status Checks of your Character |
| ;bigshot debug system <true/false> | System processes |
| | |
| Options can be combined: |
| ;bigshot debug combat commands status <true/false> |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
</pre>

Debug log files are stored in your Lich5 logs directory under <CODE>debug/<Game>-<CharacterName>/bigshot.log</CODE> and rotate daily.

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

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

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

===Who organizes SimuCon?===

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Is SimuCon family friendly?===

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

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

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

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

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

===What should I wear?===

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

=== Is there a pool?===

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

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

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

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

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

===Duration===

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

===Flare Rate===

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

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

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

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

===Tiers===

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

===Weapons and Runestaves===

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

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

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

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

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

The below information was provided by GM Naijin on Discord:

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

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

===Shields and Armor===

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

===Combat and Shield Maneuvers===

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

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

==Success Factors (& Mana Control Benefit)==
:''Numbers provided in this section, except for the material difficulty chart, are player research. A bard may loresing an item to determine a base difficulty value, your skill will be evaluated against the base difficulty value '''plus''' a difficulty penalty modifier.

===Difficulty Penalty Modifier===

*Your current skill will be evaluated against the base difficulty provided by a Bard Loresong '''plus''' the difficulty penalty modifier.
*Ensorcell has a difficulty penalty modifier of -50, meaning a sorcerer would need 150 bonus above the item's difficulty for a maximum chance of success.

Primary:
*[[Level]]: +1 per level
*[[Sorcerer Base|Sorcerer Spell Ranks]]: +2 per rank up to level, +1 per rank above level (uncapped)
*[[Wisdom]]: +1 per stat bonus
*[[Intuition]] +1 per stat bonus

====Ensorcell Formula====

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

===Paladin bonded weapons===

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

===Failure===

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

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

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

===Necrotic Energy Limits===

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

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

===Gaining Necrotic Energy===

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

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

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

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

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

===Energy Cost per Tier===

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

{| {{prettytable}}
|-

|}

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

==Lore Benefits==

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

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

==Process==

The ensorcelling process is very straight forward.

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

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

===Difficulties===

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

==Ensorcell Pricing==

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

{| {{prettytable}}
|-

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

==Messaging==
===Bonuses===
;The flares appear basically similar, besides their respective messages of feeling. For example, an acuity flare:

You feel the unnatural surge of necrotic power wane away.
The elemental aura around you wavers.

An eidolon points a spectral finger at you!
As the tendril of swirling gray magic leaves the eidolon, it is deflected away from you and dissipates harmlessly into the air.

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

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

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

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

===Duration===

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

===Flare Rate===

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

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

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

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

===Tiers===

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

===Weapons and Runestaves===

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

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

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

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

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

The below information was provided by GM Naijin on Discord:

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

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

===Shields and Armor===

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

===Combat and Shield Maneuvers===

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

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

==Success Factors (& Mana Control Benefit)==
:''Numbers provided in this section, except for the material difficulty chart, are player research. A bard may loresing an item to determine a base difficulty value, your skill will be evaluated against the base difficulty value '''plus''' a difficulty penalty modifier.

===Difficulty Penalty Modifier===

*Your current skill will be evaluated against the base difficulty provided by a Bard Loresong '''plus''' the difficulty penalty modifier.
*Ensorcell has a difficulty penalty modifier of -50, meaning a sorcerer would need 150 bonus above the item's difficulty for a maximum chance of success.

====Ensorcell Formula====

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

===Paladin bonded weapons===

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

===Failure===

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

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

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

===Necrotic Energy Limits===

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

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

===Gaining Necrotic Energy===

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

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

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

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

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

===Energy Cost per Tier===

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

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

==Lore Benefits==

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

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

==Process==

The ensorcelling process is very straight forward.

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

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

===Difficulties===

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

==Ensorcell Pricing==

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

{| {{prettytable}}
|-

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

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

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

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

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

===Duration===

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

===Flare Rate===

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

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

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

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

===Tiers===

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

===Weapons and Runestaves===

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

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

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

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

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

The below information was provided by GM Naijin on Discord:

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

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

===Shields and Armor===

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

===Combat and Shield Maneuvers===

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

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

==Success Factors (& Mana Control Benefit)==
:''Numbers provided in this section, except for the material difficulty chart, are player research. A bard may loresing an item to determine a base difficulty value, your skill will be evaluated against the base difficulty value '''plus''' a difficulty penalty modifier.

===Difficulty Penalty Modifier===

*Your current skill will be evaluated against the base difficulty provided by a Bard Loresong '''plus''' the difficulty penalty modifier.
*Ensorcell has a difficulty penalty modifier of -50, meaning a sorcerer would need 150 bonus above the item's difficulty for a maximum chance of success.

Primary:

====Ensorcell Formula====

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

===Paladin bonded weapons===

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

===Failure===

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

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

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

===Necrotic Energy Limits===

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

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

===Gaining Necrotic Energy===

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

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

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

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

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

===Energy Cost per Tier===

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

{| {{prettytable}}
|-

|-
|- align="center"

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

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

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

==Process==

The ensorcelling process is very straight forward.

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

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

===Difficulties===

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

==Ensorcell Pricing==

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

{| {{prettytable}}
|-
! bgcolor = lightgrey | Weeks

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

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

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

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

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

===Duration===

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

===Flare Rate===

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

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

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

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

===Tiers===

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

===Weapons and Runestaves===

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

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

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

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

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

The below information was provided by GM Naijin on Discord:

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

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

===Shields and Armor===

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

===Combat and Shield Maneuvers===

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

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

==Success Factors (& Mana Control Benefit)==

====Ensorcell Formula====

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

===Paladin bonded weapons===

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

===Failure===

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

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

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

===Necrotic Energy Limits===

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

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

===Gaining Necrotic Energy===

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

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

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

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

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

===Energy Cost per Tier===

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

{| {{prettytable}}
|-

|-
|- align="center"

|}

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

==Lore Benefits==

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

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

==Process==

The ensorcelling process is very straight forward.

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

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

===Difficulties===

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

==Ensorcell Pricing==

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

{| {{prettytable}}
|-
! bgcolor = lightgrey | Weeks

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

==Messaging==

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

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

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

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

===Duration===

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

===Flare Rate===

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

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

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

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

===Tiers===

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

===Weapons and Runestaves===

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

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

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

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

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

The below information was provided by GM Naijin on Discord:

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

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

===Shields and Armor===

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

===Combat and Shield Maneuvers===

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

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

==Success Factors (& Mana Control Benefit)==

====Ensorcell Formula====

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

===Paladin bonded weapons===

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

===Failure===

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

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

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

===Necrotic Energy Limits===

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

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

===Gaining Necrotic Energy===

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

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

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

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

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

===Energy Cost per Tier===

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

{| {{prettytable}}
|-
! bgcolor = lightgrey | Tier

|-

| 4

|-
|- align="center"
| 5
| 150,000
|}

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

==Lore Benefits==

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

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

|}

==Process==

The ensorcelling process is very straight forward.

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

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

===Difficulties===

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

==Ensorcell Pricing==

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

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

==Messaging==
===Bonuses===
;The flares appear basically similar, besides their respective messages of feeling. For example, an acuity flare:
<pre{{log2}}>
<nowiki> ** Necrotic energy from your <weapon> overflows into you! **</nowiki>
You feel energized!
</pre>
;Acuity is the only flare which also wears off (whether used or unused):
<pre{{log2}}>You feel the unnatural surge of necrotic power wane away.</pre>
;Unused acuity flares will take the hit when dispel magic and hex [[715|curses]] are cast at you (spells without warding rolls):
<pre{{log2}}>
A hooded figure gestures at you!
You feel the unnatural surge of necrotic power wane away.
The elemental aura around you wavers.

An eidolon points a spectral finger at you!
As the tendril of swirling gray magic leaves the eidolon, it is deflected away from you and dissipates harmlessly into the air.
You feel the unnatural surge of necrotic power wane away.

;Unused acuity flares will be applied to the hidden CS roll of [[Pestilence (716)]] reactive flares

===Usage===
;Temporary Ensorcell success:
<pre{{log2}}>
>cast at my staff
You gesture at a drakar-runed ebonwood staff.
Necrotic energy materializes around your ebonwood staff and sinks onto it like an ethereal film.

;Failure from temporary ensorcellment of permanently ensorcelled item:
<pre{{log2}}>
>cast my leather
You gesture at some vruul skin casting leathers.
Necrotic energy materializes around your casting leathers before being repelled by the stronger necrotic energy already present.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

;Failure from temporary ensorcellment of cursed item:
<pre{{log2}}>
>cast my claidhmore
You gesture at a black steel claidhmore.
Necrotic energy materializes around your black steel claidhmore before being disrupted and fading away.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

;Probable success for a Tier 1 permanent item (CHANNEL):
<pre{{log2}}>
You sense that the rune-carved crosier has not yet been permanently ensorcelled and that you should be able to ensorcell it easily enough, barring bad luck.

;Success for a Tier 1 permanent item (CHANNEL):
<pre{{log2}}>
>channel my crosier
You channel at a tiny rune-carved crosier.
Having probed the rune-carved crosier already, you begin to channel your stored necrotic energy at it. You carefully regulate the flow of energy in order to attempt to overcome its natural resistance while not simultaneously overwhelming yourself...

You make an outstanding attempt!

Success! You manage to breach the rune-carved crosier's defenses and pour in enough of your stored necrotic energy to permanently fuse it to the rune-carved crosier's very structure.

===Wearing Off===
;Temporary item ensorcellment wearing off.
<pre{{log2}}>The ethereal necrotic film covering your hoarbeam runestaff shrivels away.</pre>

===Failures===
;Failure message for testing a permanent item (7x @ lvl 36):
<pre{{log2}}>
You channel at an ice blue tapered faewood runestaff tipped with a smooth bone wand.
You sense that the tapered faewood runestaff has not yet been permanently ensorcelled and that this ensorcellment will be nearly impossible.

;Possible failure for testing (5x @ lvl 37):
<pre{{log2}}>
You sense that the faewood runestaff has not yet been permanently ensorcelled and that you are more likely than not to succeed on your cast, but you will need some luck.

;Failure message for permanent item:
<pre{{log2}}>
You make an excellent attempt!
Failure! You are unable to overcome the tapered faewood runestaff's defenses, wasting some of your stored necrotic energy in the fruitless attempt.

;Failure message for a holy/enhancive item without first pouring an inky black potion:
<pre{{log2}}>
You channel at a double bit eonake handaxe.
You sense a strange aura of power from within the eonake handaxe that disrupts the power of your spell!

;Failure message for a magic resistant item:
<pre{{log2}}>
You channel at a dented veil iron war hammer.
Your veil iron war hammer resists your spell!

Floating Disk (511)

2026-01-31T21:30:53Z

HORIBU1: added info about locked treasure chests counting as 1/3 item count

{{spell
| mnemonic = FLOATDISK
| type = Utility
| duration = Special
| subtype = Container
| components = None
| skill = None
| availability = All
| navigation = {{Major elemental navigation}}
}}
__TOC__
<section begin=description />'''Floating Disk''' can hold objects for a character and will follow the character as he travels.<section end=description /> It has a base item limit of 8 items (this includes items inside other items) for non-wizards. Players can increase the item limit by training in [[Elemental Lore, Air]]. Disks also have a hard weight limit of 500 pounds that cannot be increased. Disk descriptions can be changed by holding a gem or through [[attunement]], as described below.

Locked treasure chests count as 1/3 (rounded up) for item count storage capacity. Character locked treasure chests do not receive this benefit.

Unlike most spells, floating disk has an indefinite duration. As long as the character remains logged in (and alive) the disk should remain. If a player logs out or is disconnected, the disk will remain around for a few minutes in case the player is able to reconnect. Upon [[death]], or if the player does not reconnect, the disk will vanish and all items will be deposited onto the ground. Any items lost in this manner will not be replaced by staff and players are advised to never place precious items in a disk.

[[AMBUSH (verb)|Ambushers]] sometimes use disks to signal that they are hunting in a stealthy fashion. Thus, if one sees a disk and a creature in the same space, it is quite possible that there is a [[hidden]] ambusher there also. Common courtesy may then suggest that one heeds this.

This spell is commonly found in [[black crystal]]s.

== Usage ==
*{{boldmono|[[INCANT]] 511}} to self-cast a disk.
*{{boldmono|[[PREP]] 511 {{!}} [[CAST]] {player} }}to give someone else a disk or use caster's name as target for a self-cast plain disk.
*{{boldmono|[[PREP]] 511 {{!}} [[CAST]] {gem} }} to self-cast a disk with a specific color. This will consume the gem in the process.

Disks can be {{boldmono|[[OPEN]]}}ed and {{boldmono|[[CLOSE]]}}d. {{boldmono|[[TURN]]}}ing a disk will empty the entire contents onto the ground at once. The spell can be ended via the {{boldmono|[[DISMISS]]}} verb.

== Lore Benefit ==
Training in [[Elemental Lore, Air]] increases a disk's capacity from the base of 8 items by seed 10 [[summation]] of ranks.
<section begin=Air_Lore_Disk_Capacity/>
{| {{prettytable|text-align:center;}}
!align="right"|Elemental Lore, Air ranks||0||10||21||33||46||60||75||91||108||126||145||165||186||208||231

<section end=Air_Lore_Disk_Capacity/>

;Note on Air lores impacting disk capacity for non-wizards
<pre{{log2}}>
In the ###### disk:

Containers [11]: an off-white cotton sack (11)
Total items: 11

Elemental Lore - Air...............| 171 71</pre>

== Changing Disk Descriptions ==
Wizards can cast on certain [[gem]]s or items held on their person while casting this spell to affect the description of the disk. The gem will be lost. If no gem or item is used a somewhat random description will be added to the disk, though a wizard's [[attunement]] has some effect on this. If a wizard would like a plain disk (or has a disk customization unlocked) he should cast the spell at himself instead of just casting in an open manner. Non-wizards will always receive a disk with the plain description no matter the method used (wizard cast, black crystal, scroll, etc.)

<small>(<i>Theory: Without using gems, attuned wizards have a propensity to get certain disks. To wit: air=translucent, fire=fiery red, water=icy blue, earth=earth brown, lightning=sparkling. A randomly attuned wizard can get all five.</i>)

Lich:Script Bigshot

2026-01-26T17:24:12Z

HORIBU1: /* Command Checks */ add essence and splashy command checks

{{3rd-party}}
Bigshot is designed to handle combat routines, including moving to and from hunting areas, defining creatures to hunt and accompanying attack routines
Afk scripting on any server but Shattered is in violation of game policy.
{{TOCright| limit=2}}
==Changelog==
*[[Script Bigshot/Changelog|Script Bigshot Changelog]]
==About Bigshot==
===What Does Bigshot Do?===

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

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

Grab it from the Repository: ;repository download Bigshot

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The following is a wounded evaluation that will rest whenever you have any level II wounds:
<PRE>XMLData.injuries.any?{|key,value| value["wound"] > 1} || Char.percent_health <= 70</PRE>
The following is a wound evaluation that will take you home if you can not cast anymore (bleeding, nerves, level 2 head/eyes, bad scars etc.):
<PRE>bleeding? || Char.percent_health <= 25 || [Wounds.head, Scars.head, Wounds.leftEye, Scars.leftEye, Wounds.rightEye, Scars.rightEye, Wounds.nsys, Scars.nsys].max > 1 || [Wounds.leftArm, Wounds.leftHand, Wounds.rightArm, Wounds.rightHand, Scars.leftArm, Scars.leftHand, Scars.rightArm, Scars.rightHand].max > 2 || ([Wounds.leftArm, Wounds.leftHand, Scars.leftArm, Scars.leftHand].max + [Wounds.rightArm, Wounds.rightHand, Scars.rightArm, Scars.rightHand].max) >= 3</PRE>
The following can be added to one of the above wound evaluations to also rest upon having popped muscles:
<PRE>|| Effects::Debuffs.active?("Overexerted")</PRE>

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

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

South Scatter: 12151, 12219, 12217, 12233, 12237, 12239
</PRE>

For Maaghara boundaries, you can use

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The third command will cast tangleweed if you do not have the tangleweed vigor buff or the arcane reflex buff. Our fourth command will barrage unless we have the enhanced dexterity buff from barage. Fifth we will cast a 1 second spike thorn if we do have 16 mana and do have the arcane reflex buff. Finally we will fire until one of our other commands become available.

===Hunting Target Examples===

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

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

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

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

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

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

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