'''Duskruin Arena''' premiered in 2015 as the first "unattended" pay quest, meaning no GM intervention was required to start the quest. Players purchased entry from the [[SimuCoin]] Store for 100 SimuCoins. The event is free to watch. Since its inception, Duskruin has expanded beyond the initial single-person [[Duskruin Arena|arena]] battles and [[Bloodriven Sewers|sewer]] explorations to include team battles, endless battles, and the [[Bank Heist]].<br>

==Activities==
* '''[[Duskruin Arena]]''' - The namesake of this event. Battle it out against various creatures by yourself or with a group. Solo challengers can attempt to go the distance with Duskruin Endless.
* '''[[Bloodriven Sewers]]''' - Not a fan of combat? Visit the sewers and search through the sluice for bloodscrip, flat etched stones, or various other items. With luck, a sewer scavenger may find a [[Sewer rat|pet rat]] among the refuse.
* '''[[Bank Heist]]''' - Added in 2018, the Bank Heist offers bloodscrip prizes, and is where players can get the pieces necessary to create a [[Bag of Holding]]. '''CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS'''
* '''[[Duskruin Arena#The Celestial Temple|Celestial Temple]]''' - Former home of the [[Duskruin Dig]]. This now serves as the site for players to join all the moonshard moons with the four-ringed metal pendant to create a [[MoonShard pendant]]. That's not all, though. Be sure to check out the caverns below for walls with secret songs, and follow the pathway towards the Demon Arena to find a special [[Bloodrune Holder|dodecahedron]].

==Features==

* '''[[Duskruin Treasure Trove|Treasure Trove]]''' - First introduced at Duskruin, the Treasure Trove raffled off a chance at unique wins. Players entered using raffle tokens won at the Arena or found in the sewers or Bank Heist. - '''''Discontinued after 2022'''''

===[[WPS]]===
Players can visit the [[WPS smithy]] with an invitation to add weighting, padding, or sighting to their weapons or armor.

===[[Bloodforge]]===
Have ores from automatons fought in the arena? Visit the Bloodforge to transmute the metal, and thus the color, of a MoonShard pendant.

===[[Dabbler]]===
{{#section:Dabbler|description}}

Sonreeva

2024-11-02T22:10:40Z

JARA:

{{stub}}
'''Sonreeva''' (also known as the '''Newcropolis''') is a dungeon crawl quest available in [[Evermore Hollow]] during [[Ebon Gate]]. It debuted in 2022 and was designed by GM Wyrom, partially due to the popularity of [[the Necropolis]] of prior Ebon Gate venues. It costs one use of an enruned stone cube to enter (purchased as a "cursed entry" for 10 Simucoins at the Simustore). There are traps, puzzles, and combat inside.

Sonreeva received several quality of life updates mid-run in October, 2022, as well as some more significant updates and new secrets ahead of its October, 2023, reopening.

At the end of Sonreeva, an urglaes thumb-ring can be purchased for 15k soul shards. It can also be improved for 15k soul shards, once per year.

Trick-or-Treat

2024-10-27T09:01:52Z

JARA: /* General Information */ Updated npc name as the previous one listed is no where to be found, replaced by the priestess. A note for future editors, dying inside the house you get pulled into will respawn you, but death outside the door will lead to you needing priestess services.

{{TOCright}}'''Trick Or Treat''' premiered at the [[Ebon Gate Festival]] in 2020 when the venue was still at [[Caligos Isle]] as a replacement to [[Deep Sea Diving]]. When the Ebon Gate Festival's permanent move to [[Evermore Hollow]], Trick-or-Treat had a few improvements introduced, along with a new neighborhood to knock on doors.

==General Information==
Entry into the Trick-or-Treat grounds requires a key purchasable from the [[SimuCoin]] store in increments of 1, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 250, and the cost is 100 SimuCoins per entry. Once in the neighborhood, participants {{boldmono|[[KNOCK]]}} on doors and earn 10 '''[[#Prizes|treats]]'''. Once a door is knocked on, it will not be able to be knocked on by the same person for 30 seconds, meaning it is beneficial to move around the area to get the knocks in.

Approximately 1 in 4 knocks will be "tricks," where an undead enemy will drag you into a room with them. These enemies are level-appropriate. When looted, they have a small chance to drop a gem or a breakable object containing minor treasure. Tricks do not count against your ten total knocks, but do need to be dispatched before you can knock again. In addition to the normal experience for defeating an enemy, you will receive a significant amount of experience at the end of a Trick or Treat run for each trick you faced, which can cause you to become saturated.

The area is not instanced, and instead uses a new tactic with creatures that debuted with its introduction to Caligos Isle. The person who knocks is the only person the undead can attack. Anyone else can attack it though, so if you need help, get a friend to come join you! It is recommended to explore the area in pairs or small groups to stay safe. If you run away, the creature will follow you and immediately try to strike you.  

If you die inside of the area, you won't be removed. Instead, another player can heal you or a grey-robed spectral priestess can.

Upon receiving the tenth treat, participants are immediately healed and removed from the neighborhood to the entrance. 

===Prizes===
Participants are guaranteed to receive the following 10 "treats" with each entry:
* 8 handfuls of [[soul shard]]s, each numbering between 35-40 shards (or rarely significantly more)
* Two [[Trick-or-Treat candy|wrapped pieces of candy]]


===Location===
Trick-or-Treat can be located in the northwest part of Evermore Hollow's outer circle, at Endeltime Estates neighborhood (Map ID: 22, Lich ID: 31980, Room ID: 8086199).

Undergrowth of Bittermere Woods

2024-10-19T22:32:47Z

JARA: /* General Information */

Deep in Bittermere Woods lives a witch who once walked Elanith as a priestess of Niima. She discovered something so unique and powerful that the forces of Lornon sent assassins after her, ending her life in one swift stroke so that her discovery could not be shared with the world at large. However, even in death, the Arkati fought over what to do with her soul. Gosaena recognized that she was removed from Elanith before her time and thus would not ferry her to oblivion. Lorminstra demanded she be returned to her body, a deed for a deed. Luukos wanted her for his own designs as payment for her discoveries.

Unable to go to silence, warred over by winter and hiss, Naidem took her. For years, decades, centuries, she was among the forgotten in the landscape of the land between. Not really knowing who she was, but merely a fleeting memory with a single burning desire to rediscover what was lost.

And so, she moved away from the others and into the woods. She tended to a garden, one that was so different from what she knew in life. And created her trinkets. These little things, these forgotten things, and slowly, her past life began to inform her hands, and the old, forgotten discoveries returned.

Haunted by the resurgence of how she expired, the witch was uncertain what to do with these things, these bits, this knowledge, and as such she decided to test those that found their way to her garden. Maybe, if she could trust them with the beginnings of her discovery, have them prove through trial their mettle, then maybe, just maybe, she could trust them with the rest.

== General Information ==
'''NEW GAME'''

Venture into the Undergrowth of Bittermere Woods and discover the Witch’s Hut and her garden. When you meet her, she will provide you with a single task at the cost of 1 cube. Upon accepting your task, she SHRINKS YOU DOWN to the size of a mouse and sends you through a mousehole into her garden.

The tasks are varied and include things like making candles, mulching mushrooms, harvesting fiddlehead ferns, replacing the gourd guard, etc. The tasks are designed to take as long as a full run in the Arena of the Abyss and offer the same rewards as a single run with one very big difference. Instead of finding the Necrotic Ring, you can find the [[Lightweaver's Ocarina]].

Playable like the ones sold in Nereid’s Voice, this ocarina is special. It has access to 6-fluff verb traps, can be worn, and has an ability called Aura of the Nereid. Next year, the ocarina will be expanded to have other features that will require charges to use. Fortunately for you, if you run the game this year, you can store the charges for later use.

'''BE WARNED!'''

Much like the Arena of the Abyss, the Undergrowth of Bittermere Woods also has its hazards. An imp, all the larger now that you are small, may find you in the garden and remove you from his precious fiddlehead ferns! This hazard has the same effect (without killing you) that the lightning strikes do in Arena of the Aybss.

'''Aura of the Nereid'''

This is a toggle-able feature on the Lightweaver’s Ocarina that allows you to cycle through 7 different illusions. This illusion shows up ABOVE your character’s description and is in monster bold.{{TOCright}}

=== Prizes ===

* Experience
* 30 [[Soul shard|Soul shards]] per run
* [[Fusion Shaman]] Tokens
* Shimmering Green Orb - [[Experience modifier]]
* Breakable Items
* [[Lightweaver's Ocarina]]

===Location===
The Undergrowth of Bittermere Woods can be located in the southeastern portion of Evermore Hollow's outer ring, through the passage and northeast a few times.

===NPCs===

==== NPC 1 - an old witch ====
You see an old witch. Cursed with a perpetual malevolent countenance due to the devilish grin across her ever-pursed mouth, the deep, extrusive wrinkles that mar her face, and her piercing sage green eyes that flicker with a burning flame, the old witch presents a mildly comforting but contradicting comportment. Her body remains in a hunched over posture, and her dowager's hump protrudes beneath her black cotton cape, where wiry strands of grey-black hair spill out from the edges of her hood.

'''ask witch about entry'''

"Interrrested in seeing my garrrden, arrre you?" the witch asks curiously, with her profoundly and heavily rolled r's. "I rrrequire just one enrrruned stone cube to allow passage, and if you want to venturrre in, you can just PAY while here in my cottage."

'''ask witch about imp'''

Sheepishly an old witch says, "Imp? Why, I have no idea what you arrre talking about..."

'''ask witch about ocarina'''

'''ask witch about pay'''

'''ask witch about task'''

'''ask witch about will-o-wisp'''

==== NPC 2 ====

==== NPC 3 ====

== Help ==
When you are in the room with the witch, you can type HELP.

'''~~ Welcome to the Undergrowth of Bittermere Woods ~~'''

The following are possible tasks that you could be assigned and information on completing each one.

'''* Eyes of the Unliving:''' The witch needs will-o'-wisps to help illuminate her cabin. You will need a lantern and a spyglass to complete this task. The lantern is in the witch's cottage, and the lantern is out in the witch's garden. PEER through the spyglass to see through the veil that conceals the wisps and then capture five of these light sources. Return them one at a time to the witch.

'''* Wards of the Old Ones:''' Torches surround the perimeter of the witch's garden. On occasion, these torches are extinguished and must be reignited. Find an appropriate light source to relight five of these extinguished torches.

'''* Tallows Tails:''' Head to the candle making workshop below the witch's cottage and make five candles. Drop a cube of wax in the pot to melt it, color your candle with some dye (you have lots of color combinations to play with), and then pour out the wax into the canister. Each candle must be deposited in the white birch crate located near the witch's cottage.

'''* Decorating the Gourd:''' Decorate five fresh gourds which can be found in the painting workshop below the witch's cottage. Each gourd must then be deposited in the appropriate collection box located nearby.

'''* Gourd Guard:''' Replace five rotten gourds located around the perimeter of the witch's garden with newly decorated gourds which can be retrieved from the gourd collection box located near the witch's cottage.

'''* Harvesting the Fiddleheads:''' Use SENSE throughout the witch's garden to locate fiddlehead ferns that are ready for harvesting. You will need to reach the fronds that are at the top of the ferns. Once you harvest one, take it to the nymph near the witch's cabin, who is collecting them for soup preparation. You will need to collect five fresh fronds.

'''* Mulching the Mushrooms:''' You must find some mulch near the witch's cottage and OBSERVE the areas around mushrooms and toadstools. You are tasked with mulching five that are in need of some gardening care.

Category:The Ivsenra's Fate

2024-10-18T17:11:22Z

JARA: /* Summary */ I corrected a typo from Thistlegaer to Thistlegear.

The 2024 Ebon Gate Storyline is entitled "The Ivsenra's Fate." Key plot points and information can be documented here. It takes place in Thistlegear Enclave, which is located down the shadowy path in [Fate's Holding, The Cell] (8083134).

==Summary==
* '''10-07-2024:''' Thistlegear Enclave opens to the public.
* '''10-10-2024 - Ivsenra's Fate Opening:''' Pennysel and Brixt welcomed several visitors to Thistlegear Enclave, and Pennysel took them on a tour, introducing them to various townsfolk, explaining the enclave itself, and introducing themselves. Pennysel appears to be someone who enjoys tinkering, while Brixt was called an "ivsenra" by a town elder, which is somewhat derogatory slang for a bookworm. Just as the tour was wrapping up, a horde of bandits poured in from the surrounding woods, and Lord Casivit, a cursed being of some sort, came to protect them. Unfortunately, despite the additional help of numerous powerful visitors, Casivit's clockwork wasp army was severely impacted, and Casivit demanded an excessive payment of Thistlegear-derived gearwork in return. When the town elder said it could not be done, they were given until the end of the month to come up with some sort of appropriate recompense. Sadly, Casivit's short temper was made even shorter by a visitor who mocked him one time too many, and Casivit changed his deadline to Restday, three days hence. After he stormed off, the visitors offered help, and everyone will think about what can be done for this situation. Many of the visitors are inclined to say that the enclave should find better/different protection, but the enclave folks are fairly dubious that will be possible.
* '''10-13-2024 - Ivsenra's Fate Continues:''' The enclave gathered at the town hall to discuss the situation, and after much deliberation, angst, and arguing, it was determined that Brixt would be offered up as a companion for Lord Casivit. There is some long ago precedent for this, where companions would go for two years. Pennysel fought hard against it and even volunteered herself, but they would have none of it. The council's point of view was that Pennysel offered value and Brixt had little to none. Brixt tried to protect her as well. When Casivit arrived, he took the deal and ignored Pennysel's pleas and volunteering. He and Brixt left. Pennysel decided to ask the visitors for help and enlisted the gate guard's assistance. He agreed to quietly let the visitors through the gate so they could check on Brixt and see what could be done. With that, everyone dispersed.

A place to track Platinum's happenings

=== Initial Vignette ===
<nowiki>[Ebon Gate 2024] Platinum Storyline: The Ivsenra's Fate Vignette
A flustered coblynau wandered into a local tavern in Evermore Hollow and said, "I just had to get out of Thistlegear Enclave for awhile. You would not believe what is happening!"

The gjenganger bartender, sensing a good story, got the cobylnau a drink and set him up where everyone could hear his story. After several hearty swallows of the house specialty, a less flustered and more fortified coblynau began his tale.

To hear the coblynau tell it, the enclave had suffered an attack in the middle of the night. Bandits had crept in hoping to raid the farm stores and perhaps pilfer some other goods as well. They came in massive numbers, more than ever before, so all their stealth was for naught and they were quickly discovered.

Many in the tavern were surprised to learn that some cursed beast known as a flitraegt protected the enclave, and the coblynau spoke of this Lord Casivit in a mixture of awe and fear. He had come and rampaged through the bandits, tearing many apart with his own beastly hands, but their numbers were too great, and Casivit let loose a small clockwork golem army to ensure the enclave was entirely protected.

Unfortunately, these clockwork devices, while effective, were obliterated in the fight, and afterwards, Lord Casivit demanded recompense in the form of extraordinary amounts of gears and other clockwork engineering parts. The enclave could not meet the price, the coblynau said, taking several additional large drinks (and having his glass continually refilled by the rapt bartender).

"So he came back today," the coblynau muttered, "And do you know what that town council did?!" He paused dramatically, waving his glass in the air and sloshing its contents about with abandon. The crowd he had drawn whispered, "No, what?" in unison.

"They gave him the ivsenra!" When his crowd looked blankly at him, the coblynau explained that an ivsenra was sort of like a bookworm, and Thistlegear Enclave was in possession of one coblynau named Brixt who seemed to always have his nose in a book and no talent for anything else. "Nice fella," the coblynau said quickly, "Just kinda useless and all."

"Still," he continued morosely, "Saying he needs to go be a companion to that cursed beast was cruel."

Several more swallows ensued. "Anyways," he finished up, "I think that engineer lass, Pennysel, she's going to try to rescue him, but he's as scary as the bandits! I just had to leave the enclave for a bit. Thought I might try the Hollow for awhile. Safer here, I imagine. Less bears with feathers."

And after that, the coblynau grew silent, and the tavern gradually returned to its normal state, but there was an undercurrent of muttering, and several locals slipped out to spread the word across Evermore Hollow just in case anyone wanted to go see if they could help.

[NOTE: I have advanced the storyline in Plat to the automated quest phase. You should now be able to enter the mansion and help/not help Brixt.]</nowiki>

List of skins

2024-08-18T00:19:29Z

JARA: Removed "a" in front of brilliant purple opal and pair of caribou antlers as "a" and "an" aren't included in the skin name format for all the other skins on the page.

The appraisal values on lines with 'magnificent' were done by a level 100 empath with 202 first aid ranks and 101 survival ranks using 1101 so as to not damage the skin. Other values were gathered by a L42 cleric with 2x survival and First aid. Values will vary to a large degree based on training in regard to skinning skill and hunting method as you can damage the skin and lower its value. The purpose of providing this appraisal value is to provide an approximate value and not be regarded as the absolute value of any skin.

__NOTOC__
The myklian is a fearsome beast, some form of large lizard or amphibian that usually travels on four legs, but sometimes stands upright on two legs. It has a short, stubby tail which is triangular in shape and covered with a luminescent, chitinous plate. Hard scales cover the rest of the beast's body, except for the soft underbelly. Bony spikes and knobs guard the beast's joints. The coloration of the myklian species ranges the entire spectrum, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.

==Hunting strategies==
Any attempt to skin or search a myklian will damage your right hand, up to a level 2 wound.

Additionally, myklians cannot take damage from a "closed fist" attack; this will only cause a wound to appear on your right hand.

Myklian are immune to cold. [[Dark vortece|Dark vorteces]] can wander into the cavern, which are immune to most forms of attack.

Attacking a myklian may have a small chance of disarming one's primary weapon as it strikes a "bony protrusion" on it:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=350px}}>
You swing your old wakizashi at the red myklian. The weapon strikes one of the bony protrusions on the myklian's body and it is wrenched out of your grasp!
The old wakizashi falls to the ground!
Roundtime: 5 sec.
</pre>

==Other information==
Myklians will spawn in multiple different colors. "A young myklian" tends to spawn on occasion, whose attacks are slightly weaker than other myklians. All of these creatures are the same, for the purposes of [[Adventurer's Guild]] bounty hunting. The red side of spectrum represents the most common and lowest-level myklians (other than young); purple myklians are somewhat rare and have the highest level, statistics, and skin value. Red myklians, the most common type, are level 40. Higher energy parts of the light spectrum correspond to higher level myklian.

Myklian scales were once exceptionally valuable. Their value has been decreased, but they are still quite valuable for a good skinner. Just 1x Survival and 1x First Aid training can yield around 1400 silver per scale if the area has not been recently overhunted. It is important to heal down to minor hand scars before each skin and search, in order to continue to skin well. Non-empaths are advised to buy a large bundle of ambrominas leaf before a trip to the myklian cave. (The "perfect myklian belly scale" they leave behind when looted is not accepted by the furrier, but can be sold to the consignment or used in alchemy.)

Myklians will occasionally emit ice flares with their attacks, which can potentially be deadly:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=350px}}>A red myklian stomps at you with its foot!
  AS: +241 vs DS: +169 with AvD: +29 + d100 roll: +22 = +123
   ... and hits for 4 points of damage!
   Glancing blow to your right leg!

 ** You feel an icy blast from the red myklian! **
   ... 35 points of damage!
   What was once your right leg seems to have disappeared!
You fall screaming to the ground grasping your mangled right leg!
   You are stunned for 8 rounds!</pre>

Myklians have the following ambient messaging:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=350px}}>You hear a low growl and feel a sudden chill as a red myklian arrives.

An orange myklian growls and rakes the ground with its claws. The sound causes the hair on the back of your neck to stand up.</pre>

==Behind the Scenes==
[[Uthex Kathiasas]] named these creatures "kiskaa raax" (''[[Iruaric]]'': "chilling claw"), in reference to their ice flares, and became myklian after the [[ICE age|I.C.E. Age]]. "Myklian" is an anagram of "many ilk", which is probably intentional, given their diversity of colors and forms and the [[Lesser vruul#Behind the Scenes|language games]] of The Broken Lands. They do not seem to be based on a [[Rolemaster]] extra-planar entity, and might have been indigenous to The Broken Lands or else a [[Magru#Behind the Scenes|novel invention]]. [[Marlu#The Broken Lands|The Dark Shrine]] had a toad shaped basin, possibly resembling these amphibian-like creatures. They might be an allusion to the "toad-things" from "[http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/dq.aspx The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath]" like other elements of [[The Broken Lands]], reminiscent of the [[leaper#Behind the Scenes|bounders]] and [[greater kappa#Behind the Scenes|kappas]] of the [[Coastal Cliffs]] possibly alluding to other Lovecraft stories. (In this case [http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/ds.aspx "The Doom That Came to Sarnath"] and [http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/soi.aspx "The Shadow over Innsmouth"].) The "bizarre form of the many basins and braziers" in a [[Night mare#Behind the Scenes|temple]] of the [[Magru#Behind the Scenes|Old Ones]] of Tsath comes from [http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/mo.aspx "The Mound"].

The toad braziers might refer to the sleeping toad god Tsathoggua. The [http://www.eldritchdark.com/writings/short-stories/44/the-devotee-of-evil brass gong] next to them is sounded in [http://www.eldritchdark.com/articles/criticism/65 times of doom] from Kadath in the [[Muylari#Behind the Scenes|extended]] Cthulhu mythos. In this case the wife of [[Bandur Etrevion#Behind the Scenes|Nyarlathotep]] is driven out in the doom of Hyperborea and replaced with Tsathoggua worship, who had arrived from first stopping in the dreamlands of Saturn which in turn is reflected by the [[Traag]].

__NOTOC__
The myklian is a fearsome beast, some form of large lizard or amphibian that usually travels on four legs, but sometimes stands upright on two legs. It has a short, stubby tail which is triangular in shape and covered with a luminescent, chitinous plate. Hard scales cover the rest of the beast's body, except for the soft underbelly. Bony spikes and knobs guard the beast's joints. The coloration of the myklian species ranges the entire spectrum, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.

==Hunting strategies==
Any attempt to skin or search a myklian will damage your right hand, up to a level 2 wound.

Additionally, myklians cannot take damage from a "closed fist" attack; this will only cause a wound to appear on your right hand.

Myklian are immune to cold. [[Dark vortece|Dark vorteces]] can wander into the cavern, which are immune to most forms of attack.

Attacking a myklian may have a small chance of disarming one's primary weapon as it strikes a "bony protrusion" on it:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=350px}}>
You swing your old wakizashi at the red myklian. The weapon strikes one of the bony protrusions on the myklian's body and it is wrenched out of your grasp!
The old wakizashi falls to the ground!
Roundtime: 5 sec.
</pre>

==Other information==
Myklians will spawn in multiple different colors. "A young myklian" tends to spawn on occasion, whose attacks are slightly weaker than other myklians. All of these creatures are the same, for the purposes of [[Adventurer's Guild]] bounty hunting. The red side of spectrum represents the most common and lowest-level myklians (other than young); purple myklians are somewhat rare and have the highest level, statistics, and skin value. Red myklians, the most common type, are level 40. Higher energy parts of the light spectrum correspond to higher level myklian.

Myklian scales were once exceptionally valuable. Their value has been decreased, but they are still quite valuable for a good skinner. Just 1x Survival and 1x First Aid training can yield around 1400 silver per scale if the area has not been recently overhunted. It is important to heal down to minor hand scars before each skin and search, in order to continue to skin well. Non-empaths are advised to buy a large bundle of ambrominas leaf before a trip to the myklian cave. (The "perfect myklian belly scale" they leave behind when looted is not accepted by the furrier.)

Myklians will occasionally emit ice flares with their attacks, which can potentially be deadly:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=350px}}>A red myklian stomps at you with its foot!
  AS: +241 vs DS: +169 with AvD: +29 + d100 roll: +22 = +123
   ... and hits for 4 points of damage!
   Glancing blow to your right leg!

 ** You feel an icy blast from the red myklian! **
   ... 35 points of damage!
   What was once your right leg seems to have disappeared!
You fall screaming to the ground grasping your mangled right leg!
   You are stunned for 8 rounds!</pre>

Myklians have the following ambient messaging:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=350px}}>You hear a low growl and feel a sudden chill as a red myklian arrives.

An orange myklian growls and rakes the ground with its claws. The sound causes the hair on the back of your neck to stand up.</pre>

==Behind the Scenes==
[[Uthex Kathiasas]] named these creatures "kiskaa raax" (''[[Iruaric]]'': "chilling claw"), in reference to their ice flares, and became myklian after the [[ICE age|I.C.E. Age]]. "Myklian" is an anagram of "many ilk", which is probably intentional, given their diversity of colors and forms and the [[Lesser vruul#Behind the Scenes|language games]] of The Broken Lands. They do not seem to be based on a [[Rolemaster]] extra-planar entity, and might have been indigenous to The Broken Lands or else a [[Magru#Behind the Scenes|novel invention]]. [[Marlu#The Broken Lands|The Dark Shrine]] had a toad shaped basin, possibly resembling these amphibian-like creatures. They might be an allusion to the "toad-things" from "[http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/dq.aspx The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath]" like other elements of [[The Broken Lands]], reminiscent of the [[leaper#Behind the Scenes|bounders]] and [[greater kappa#Behind the Scenes|kappas]] of the [[Coastal Cliffs]] possibly alluding to other Lovecraft stories. (In this case [http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/ds.aspx "The Doom That Came to Sarnath"] and [http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/soi.aspx "The Shadow over Innsmouth"].) The "bizarre form of the many basins and braziers" in a [[Night mare#Behind the Scenes|temple]] of the [[Magru#Behind the Scenes|Old Ones]] of Tsath comes from [http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/mo.aspx "The Mound"].

The toad braziers might refer to the sleeping toad god Tsathoggua.

Crafted entirely of rolaren, the oily black metal has a glossy finish that is only lightly marred by scratches along the broad chest piece. Intricate knotwork patterns of hounds race down the round pauldrons and encircle the brassard and vambraces, though the elbow guards are left smooth and unadorned. Matching knotwork, this time honoring steeds, encircle the cusses and jambeau. A silver-edged tasset is connected to the breastplate.

Duskruin primer

2023-08-24T06:43:51Z

JARA: Miner Room 25388 > 26388 - Corrected Typo

''A primer for the Duskruin event
by Newsby, Dergoatean, and the [[TownCrier]] Team''

== Overview and Featured Attractions ==

Twice a year, a significant portion of the Elanthian population stops their usual pursuits and heads to Bloodriven Village, home of The [[Duskruin Arena]], The Duskruin Sewers, The Slab Generator, The Smithy, and The Shops at [[Bloodriven Village]].

You may find the usual local services more difficult to find in your favorite towns and communities because of this. It really does feel like there's a collective HOLD on regular life during Duskruin runs.

* [[Duskruin/saved posts August 2023]] where GMs place briefs of major announcements made on Discord

== Introduction ==

Duskruin runs on [[bloodscrip]], the currency of Bloodriven Village. All business in Duskruin - Shops, Merchants, Services, and other events - are all conducted in bloodscrip. Use the SCRIP command (or the older TICKET command) to see your bloodscrip balance, deposit into it, or withdraw from it. Nearly all transactions, including special spins and other events, will use what used to be call "redeemed" scrip - that is what the balance is when you see SCRIP BALANCE. If you have Bloodscrip in physical form, you will need to use the command SCRIP DEPOSIT for purchases

While Duskruin is open, here's how you get to this elusive destination from every major city:
:> QUEST TRANSPORT DUSKRUIN

The Countinghouse ([[Lich (software)|Lich]] room #24673) in Duskruin serves as the Duskruin Bank and has access to your bank account from whatever city you entered. It's the Duskruin Bank.

The exit out of Duskruin is the circle of wagons to the very south - outside the Village Gate and all the way southwards. You'll end up in the city from which you entered. (With Lich, ;go2 exit)

The village is open to everyone, there is no entry fee to get in.

Access to the Duskruin Arena and the Duskruin Sewers requires a slip from a booklet sold at the [[Simucoin store]]. All activities will take either one slip from the booklet.

There are usually people who sell booklets for silvers or bloodscrip if you'd prefer. Watch the Merchant channels for these offerings.

As a whole event, Duskruin Arena's claim to fame as a favorite GemStone offering is two-fold: the amazing items/services for sale, and the random treasure. Some of the treasure finds are good. Some of it good for pawning. Some of it is awesome, and a limited number of things are just downright amazing. The loot you find has no bearing on your level; it's all random.

There are usually items for sale in the shops which you cannot find any other time of year. Like expensive, unusual boons for your gear and exciting new scripted gear like the Animalistic Spirit lines. There may be services offered from merchants which happen no other time of year, too. Usually expensive ones. So your bloodscrip stash has lots of things to look forward to.

The "High End Shop" or "[[High End Scrip Shop|Scrip Shop]]" or High End Scrip Shop (HESS) is home to some exclusive and pricy things to spend your bloodscrip on. The shop has discontinued use of scaling prices and limited quantities. Read all the signs. There is a service limit of 5 per item for Duskruin services before a surcharge will be added. <S> Limited quantity items are now spun for on a special big spin night.</S>

The Duskruin sewers offer about 300 scrip per run, plus some random gear finds and Duskruin boons, whereas the arena offers up to 300 bloodscrip and one random gear find in your winner's package. The Arena can take 8 minutes or more to finish. The sewers go by much faster - much, much faster and include a chance to find a randomly large cache of bloodscrip along the way. The Heist options earn 300 bloodscrip. (Scrip awards increased Feb 2022 for all three activities. Scrip awards rebalanced Feb 2023)

There's a small chance for an experience orb. This chance increases with the number of entries to each activity and is on display in your EVENT STATS DUSKRUIN command.

You will find a super node in the room where you enter the Arena for combat, and in the middle room of each of the three factions for the Heist. There is also a super node at The Viridian Coil Tavern (Lich room 26841).

New at August 2023 run: an old has-been gladiator will exchange a brand-new, full 25-count book for 7500 bloodscrip and a BOATLOAD of experience. Look for him at the Duskruin Arena, Descent, just south of the entry into the Area Sands (Lich room 23779). You can sell a booklet to him every 30 minutes, I believe.

<S>If you don't want to redeem all your bloodscrip, and you don't want to manually manage bundling it into the right sized quantity, you can buy a scrip pouch that will let you store your scrip and pull out just what you need. It costs 500 bloodscrip and is sold in [[Bloodriven_Village#The_Mar_and_Scar|The Mar and Scar]] shop's entry room (Lich #23801, Room 13; a stucco-faced dark stone building). The Countinghouse (Lich 24673) also offers un-redeeming services, for a small fee of 1%.</S>

Scrip Pouches are a thing of the past now with the updated SCRIP command. Withdraw and deposit Bloodscrip now without any extra charges. You need it deposited to purchase things, though. A fist full of bloodscrip will not get you far with any purchase.

Stay tuned to the TownCrier ([[https://gstowncrier.com/subscribe/ Via Email]], TownCrier Channels in GS via ESP and LNet, [[https://twitter.com/GemStoneIVNews Twitter]] (for now, whatever its name is this month), or the [[https://gstowncrier.com/ TownCrier web site]]) for announcements.

== The Shops of Bloodriven Village ==

The village where the Duskruin Arena, Sewers, and more is called [[Bloodriven Village]]. It is full of shops with amazing things of all kinds for this little out of the way place. You will find things for sale here which cannot be purchased any other time or place, only when Duskruin is open. There are legendary treasures, there will be new, amazing things, and you can find high value utility items for your adventuring needs here, too.

Keep an eye on the best recommendations and show favorites from your fellow adventurers at the [[TownCrier/Buyer's Choice Shopping Guide|Buyer's Choice Shopping Guide]]. Add your picks, too!

There's a brief one-page [[Duskruin February 2023 Quick Reference Shop Index|Quick Reference Index]] to the Shops that can be handy.

'''Shopping tips:'''
# Attuned Pricing is available in some shops for some things, as well as in the HESS. This binds the item at a discount to the characters on your account, and it cannot be used by anyone else.
# Read all the signs
# Use the wiki page listing for the shops, [[Bloodriven Village]], to double check, remember which items were where, and reference easily.
# Carefully look at/on/in the shop display noun and make copious use of INSPECT and ANALYZE (sometimes READ, too) to make sure you are getting what you wish to buy. Sometimes there are slightly different ones that can fool a hasty buyer.
# If you are purchasing a certificate, remember to reach for the correct one.
# Here is a PSA directly from GM Valyrka: "When you ask for a HESS service, (redeeming certificates, etc.) we can be really fast completing them IF you have your item on you. So, for the fastest service on your HESS purchase, remember to keep the item with you. Otherwise we have to track you down, bug you, and interrupt whatever you're in the middle of doing."
# Added in 2023, the DELAYED command can help track your purchases that require GM Services.
# Read and double check all purchases, especially from the HESS. There's a 10% restocking fee within a 24 hour window for SOME REFUNDS. Some things have no refunds. [[Bloodriven Village/shop listing February 2023#Refund_Policy|Official Refund policy]]
# Pro Tip for shopping, turn on your links, and let your mouse do some of the hard/exacting work for you. You can click on an item for sale to avoid having to enter get fourth certificate on third table. Using the links, you can look, read, analyze, inspect, and ... yes, buy!
# Limited Availability is gone from all shops. <S>Some items are available in limited quantities. Read All the Signs and prioritize accordingly.</S>
# Scaling prices are all gone, we believe! <s>Some shops have one or more things which will increase in price the more people buy them. It is called price scaling. It can be a sticker shock when you go back for the item. Scaling prices are usually noted on a sign, but not always. They happen in both the High End [[Scrip Shop]] (HESS) and in the regular shops of the village.</s>

== The Big HESS Spin Night ==

'''There is no Big Spin Night for August 2023''' ... it remains unclear if it has been retired, or is for this run only.

ALL items which were going to be in the Big Spin will be for sale in the HESS, in unlimited quantities, except for the custom fatal afflares.

This event was introduced with the August 2021 Duskruin run by [http://forums.play.net/forums/GemStone%20IV/Paid%20Events:%20Adventures,%20Quests,%20and%20SimuCoins/Announcements/view/573|GM Tivvy]. It is for all the HESS items which have quantities limited to 5 and under. A Spin was chosen to help give a more equitable distribution of these very limited items. To participate in the spin you will need to have the full amount of the bloodscrip already deposited and available in your SCRIP BALANCE.

A place will be announced to meet - remember to prepare for a crowded room, so halt things that make noise, stop spells that might be dropping during the spin. Then those interested in that limited item will join GM Tivvy to move to another room where the spinner will select from the people there.

You will be able to win more than one spin.

== The Dabbler ==

Behind the curtain in the HESS, you will find The Dabbler. This is an automated NPC who can remove some properties from your gear, such as weighting, padding, sanctification, defender, sighting, flares, some "fluff" scripts as well as functional, mechanical scripts. (Temporary properties cannot be removed by the Dabbler.) Visit the wiki page for the [[Dabbler]] for all the details. Cost varies by the type of removal.

== The Duskruin Sewers, aka Ratacombs ==

There is no combat in the Sewers. You search through the place for ... stuff. And there's lots of that stuff. Empty out your containers, trim down, and bring a disk.

Start your sewer searching in Lich room 23758, room 11 on the wiki map. That rubble looks sort of suspicious to me!

1 token/slip gets you 10 searches inside the Sewers. There's no area of the sewers that are better than another. All discoveries in here are random. You will find 1 thing per search:
* Bloodscrip (up to 200ish for the whole run, if you are lucky, plus the sales of common/uncommon Duskruin finds that drop in the sewer
* [[Sewer rat|A Rat]]: rats can be found, they're pretty rare, and as of 2017, you are limited to finding only one during an event. Not guaranteed, though.
* A cache of bloodscrip that one of the local bandits hid. Lucky you if you find one, there aren't many! But watch out for the owners to defend that cache, too. According to Wyrom, caches can yield 1000x what the bloodscrip find would have been, but can also be much less.
* Random gear/jewelry/loot. It could be awesome or no-enchant plain. It could be a major enhancive bonus win, too. It's really random. See the looting section below for tips. As of Feb 2023, only 1 piece of gear/jewelry/stuff per sewer entry will be found.
* Flat etched stones, [[MoonShard_pendant#Bloodrunes|Bloodrune stones]]. Some of these have a market value, some are very common. For some they are so rare there is only one. Be sure to read them.
* Smithy Invite: An invite only spawns in your treasure if you have none stored up. Use this to add weighting, padding, or sighting to your gear at the Smithy. They do not add up, you can have only 1 at a time, and if you have one stored, you cannot earn another in your treasure finds. Check to see if you have one with the command EVENT STATS DUSKRUIN
<strike>* New with Duskruin Heist in June 2018, you can find special pieces that act as upgrade items for the [[Bag of Holding]] Heist prize.</strike>
<strike>* New with the Treasure Trove introduction: you can find a raffle token to use in the Trove.</strike> ''Treasure Trove removed from DR Feb 2023.''

* <S>Moonshard pieces, these are the parts needed to complete the moons to put into a Moonshard Pendant that becomes a glamour crystal.</s> These are no longer available. See: [[MoonShard pendant]]
** <S>Some of these pieces are very rare, and you can sell them for many silvers on the open market if you do not need them, like the thin kakore strip and the even more rare reticulated crystal-edged golvern segment</S>

If you find a black ora or other cursed item in the sewers, it is uncursed in a flash of … well, uncursing.

There is a lich script many people use for the Sewers - dr_sewers.lic
;repository info dr_sewers

Sell your unwanted rats to the rat collector in the sewers, he will pay you bloodscrip for them. Or sell it on the open market.

'''Tactics''' for the sewers include having enough empty space in your pack to stash stuff, and pausing to pick up something laying on the ground that someone discarded.

== The Duskruin Arena ==

First, I'm going to get rid of a misconception. You do not need to be capped to win in the Arena. Some professions and some builds will be better/worse at it at various levels. That's someone else's primer. I'm not an expert at this, by any means, but this should at least get you started.

Time is not your friend in the Arena; there are 25 foes waiting to kill you, each round is progressively a little more challenging. But wait, that's not all. Every fifth opponent is a Champion. These champions make your Grizzled bounty critters look easy. The champions won't stun, don't usually die from the usual death crits and have ''lots'' of extra health points.

About death crits on champions: "If you hit left eye, right eye, and both are crit kill shots, it drops on the second one 100% of the time. Or chest/chest, or head/neck, or eye/head." -- Nairdin's player

<s>And you get 8 minutes in which to do ''all'' of this. As of Feb 2020, you have more than 8 minutes, but will face increasingly more difficult foes after 8 minutes.</s> Timer and time penalties removed from both Arenas August 2021, per Wyrom.

There are some things you don't have to worry about, though. There is nothing undead. There is no disarming. All the Arena traps were removed a few years ago. There is only 1 critter at a time, and they are scaled to your level. So my critters will challenge me, and your critters will challenge you, but I won't be overwhelmed by things that are 10-20 levels above me. When you exit, you are healed/resurrected as needed and your mana/stamina/cooldowns, etc restored.

If you have deeds, you do not lose your spells if you die in the arena. Use SPELL ACTIVE if your displays and stuff need to be re-synced in your front end after an Arena Death. As long as you have deeds, you also will not lose your field experience.

Watch a couple fights from the stands. You will find spectator seating on the outer ring of the arena. WATCH LIST to see who is currently fighting, WATCH NAMEofPERSON to select the person you want to see. Pick someone from your own profession. You will find people have different hunting styles and tactics, depending on their build. Find someone who is similar to yours and learn from their successes and mistakes.

Teams matches were added with the August 2017 Duskruin. Up to FiveL. people can group together for an arena fight of the same number of foes. Include your hunting buddies and friends!

The entrance to the area is at the Sands Approach (lich room 23779) (or DOWN from there for teams). Hold your booklet or slip in your right hand and GO ENTRANCE.

=== Get Ready - preparation is everything ===

'''Leave ALL THE STUFF at home.''' Trim down. Walk into the arena with zero encumbrance. Weight kills.

'''Get ALL THE SPELLS.''' Defensive spells, offensive buffs, maneuvering, recovery, whatever. There's probably something that will crop up in there that you wished you had THAT spell going. Use a gold coin, I have seen random dispels, but not often.

'''Bring ALL THE TRICKS'''. [[Blue crystal]]s to hit those really difficult to hit things (and there are some...), Other magical things that help you, [[Heavy quartz orb|quartz orbs]], [[Solid moonstone cube|moonstone cubes]], [[ruby amulet]]s. If you have enough ranks of Magic Item Use skill, look for magic crystals of various spells. Consider comparing the pricing of bravery items with the cost of a [[pure potion]] - there's no bloodscrip needed for pure potions.

'''Use your [[BOOST|BOOSTs]]''' that you want to use, and know when to use them. Careful timing of a boost can get you through multiple arena runs.
* '''BOOST LUCK''' gives you a second chance on any combat roll 10 or under.
* '''BOOST SUPERCHARGE''' gives your enchanted gear a 50% increase, your flares will flare more often, and your weighting/padding/sighting will get better.
* '''BOOST ENHANCIVE''' has an option to boost your stats or your stamina/mana regen. It's not just for pausing enhancives.
* '''BOOST LONGTERM''' relieves you of 500 [[experience]] points when your exp approaches MUST REST and you are not even half-way through your matches yet. You'll get 250 exp placed into [[long-term experience]] for general, slower, absorbing. Remember, you learn zero from combat once your mind gets to MUST REST
* '''BOOST ABSORB''' clears your mind of 1000 exp points and tosses them into your already absorbed, permanent exp.

* '''BOOST GODS LORMINSTRA''' grants extra deeds. This could be important to Voln members who frequently use symbol of mana without waiting for the cooldown period.

'''Use [[enhancives]]''' to help you over the rough spots: more mana, more stamina, more spirit, more strength, defense boons, health/mana/stamina recovery, sheer skill bonuses for your relevant skill set, and whatever extra spells you may need along the way in scrolls, imbeddables, etc.

'''Don't forget''' about those things you only use every once in awhile. You've been saving them for a rainy day in some locker/mule somewhere. Guess what? IT'S RAINING! The [[Bravery]]/[[Heroism]] spells, that [[enruned black ora heart]] from Ebon Gate, the [[Prismatic Guard]] spell in that pin you have been saving. [[Celerity]] for extra speed when you need it. Even a [[ruby amulet]] or 10 can come in handy.

This might also be the time to '''bring out''' your unlocked [[Arkati box]] for a stat boost.

'''Evaluate''' your [[society]] abilities list. Maybe there is one in there you don't use very often but will be really handy for this huge fight you are about to face.

'''Get the [[scrolls]]''' of spells ready that you need. Order them ahead of time from your favorite sorcerer.

'''Buy/make [[potions]]''' you will need to defeat 25 things in 8 minutes. Remember they only appear one at a time.

'''Get your magic items''' [[charge]]d - statues, quartz orbs, blue crystals, wands, moonstone cubes, etc.

'''Get embeds done''' of handy spells from clerics, sorcerers, and wizards.

'''Farm extra favor''' if you belong to the Order of Voln. Consider a few trips to Reim with your friends for maximum favor gain.

'''Review your spells''', even ones you might have forgotten about. Did you know that 106 gives +30 DS to both you and the enemy and is perfect for pure warding clerics, empaths, or sorcerers to start the round with? Clerics and empaths can also evoke 205 for another +20!

'''Plan your tactics''' and macro/script needs for before, during, and after your Arena contest.

'''Re-charge all the magic items''' that you use. Find a wizard, bring all the mana, and bring a few high quality orb gems. No one is going to have time during Duskruin to do it.

=== In The Arena - tactics are everything ===

'''PRAY''' You have 3 ''free'' PRAY commands for some mana and stamina to be restored during your Arena challenge if you need to. <S>Using PRAY takes ~30 seconds off your Arena timer</S> (PRAY updated for Feb 2020) After the third PRAY command, subsequent ones will increase opponent difficulty and the 5th one will cost half your spirit plus random wounds. The fourth one has a slight chance of summoning a demon! <s>Team Matches get 3 PRAY commands for the group, plus 1 extra for each teammate.</s>

'''Use your multiple attack''' options as often as you need to/can. Time is everything here. If you can accomplish 2 hits in 6 seconds instead of 2 5-second round times for 2 separate attacks, it will add up. And I know lots of you know ways to attack more than twice. :)

'''Pro Tip:''' Champions are the most difficult, you may want to space out your special abilities and tricks to use on them.

'''Similarly, aimed attacks''' can end a fight much faster than swinging at any old body part.

'''Mana, Stamina, and/or Spirit management''' are critical to many people. Figure out your strategy for what you will need and have your plan ready in advance to boost yours when it falls to low levels.

'''Use maneuvers, moves, and spells based on the opponent''' you are facing. Some cast spells, some use huge weapons, some wear light armor, some wear heavy, etc.

```Bring Cures``` for situations that will end your ability to win. Head wounds, popped muscles, out of stamina/mana/health, etc.

<S>'''WATCH''' for traps and tricks with each new opponent. Take evasive action as required. This saves you time (Round times), stuns, and injuries. There's a lich script for it ;repository info duskruin_watch</S> Traps and watching done away with as of Feb 2020 Duskruin run.

'''What you'll win in the Arena:'''
* Bloodscrip: more for a win than not, up to 300 scrip (extra max added Feb 2022)
* Smithy Invite: will only spawn at the time you receive your treasure if you have none stored up. Use this to add weighting, padding, or sighting to your gear at the Smithy. They do not accrue, you can have only 1 at a time, and if you have one stored, you cannot earn another in your treasure finds. Do note, this is only the invitation, you still have to pay for your WPS service.
* If you choose DUSKRUIN REWARD LOOT for an option, an item of loot; could be gear, could be jewelry, might be enhancive, might be a Duskruin boost item for sewers, heist, or arena.
* Saturated exp
* If an automaton appeared as one of your champions, and you defeated it, you'll get a piece of ore of the same metal type as the automaton. The ores are for altering the appearance of characters using a completed [[MoonShard pendant]], altering the appearance of a [[dragonfly pet]], and for use in the mini smelter as part of the [[I Dream of Geology Series]].
* A small, but increasing, chance for an experience orb to be included in your winnings.
* Rewards can be modified slightly to your tastes. Choose between
:* {{boldmono|DUSKRUIN REWARD LOOT}}: Receive loot reward, 1 piece of gear in your winnings package.
:* {{boldmono|DUSKRUIN REWARD EXP}}: Receive exp rewards, 15 instant experience.
:* {{boldmono|DUSKRUIN REWARD SCRIP}}: Receive extra bloodscrip rewards, 10 extra bloodscrip
* <s>A promissory note for some random amount of silvers. Nothing you'll get rich from, though.</s> (removed Aug 2019)
* <S>A chance for a Treasure Trove Token to be included in your winnings.</S> (Trove removed as of Feb 2023)

=== ENDLESS MODE ===

New in August 2021: Duskruin: ENDLESS. Set your preferred Arena mode with the DUSKRUIN command. Endless is a special new solo mode of continuous Arena that never ends, where you can earn special [[title]]s. There are Leaderboards at the entrance into the area, right after the portcullis. As long as you are on your feet, you will keep getting new opponents. The opponents get more and more difficult. Plan for the long haul, it is quite the show!

*After the 25th foe, you will stop accumulating bloodscrip
*After the 25th foe, you will accrue additional Prayers at a rate of 1 every 5 rounds.
*Champions will appear randomly, instead of every fifth opponent.
*There's no time limit.

Good luck! Be sure to let us know how you fare in it!

== The WPS Smithy ==
You'll find the [[WPS smithy|Weighting, Padding, and Sighting Smithy]] under the Arena (Bloodforge, Workshop - room 26091). There is an assistant there who will give you a quote on your gear before entering the arch for the Smithy. Have everything ready, going into the arch will use up your Smithy Invitation, whether you get work done or not. All work at this Duskruin Smithy costs bloodscrip. The same WPS "window" pricing applies to your gear as any traveling WPS Smithy wagon. He will work on only 1 item per invitation visit.

== The Slab Generator ==

Across from the Smithy, under the Arena (Room 26388), is a miner. He will sell ore to you for 5 bloodscrip, which you can put in the crucible. (Ask miner about ore, twice.) After the elapsed roundtime, the crucible produces a metal slab for you, returning it right to your hand. It might be a rare metal slab, it might be not so rare, or it might turn out to be plain old iron. This is what we call the Slab Generator, and it is the only source of the rarest metal slabs for forging, outside of special raffles.

== The Duskruin Gem Pile ==

There is a pile of gems (room 26093) under the Arena that you can search for any of the random Duskruin Gems. Each search costs 10 bloodscrip. You can scan the saved list of [[Duskruin Dig#Non-SimuCoin Items|Duskruin gems]] at the old Duskruin Dig page. Remember, the Dig is defunct and no more. Only the gems survive as a mark that it ever existed.

<BLOCKQUOTE>'''> SEARCH GEMS'''<BR />
You begin to search through a pile of gems and realize the sign says it costs 10 bloodscrip. You could try searching again if you agree with that price.</BLOCKQUOTE>

Duskruin Gems are suitable for merchant alterations, gem-accepting items (Joola, Veola, and more), [[lapidary box]], [[gemcutter]], etc. They make lovely jewelry in a Daxela [[Jewelry box]] and a very rare [[Alter Box]]/thing of the right type can take one, too. Use them in [[Cobbling]] or [[Weaving]]. Matching gems seem to stack in a Player Shop. But they will not go into a [[Gem jar]], cannot be used in warrior [[Sheath making]], and the gemshop does not purchase them. They are all unique to Duskruin and are found nowhere else in Elanthia. (These same special uses and exclusions will apply to Ebon Gate Gems from the EG gem pile, too.)

== Dealing with Loot ==

Whether you're running through the sewers, digging in the dig, or struggling valiantly in the arena, after you've been at it awhile, you'll have quite a pile of loot. Most will be [[pawnshop]] fodder, a few rare pieces will be worth millions, and other items will bring you more than the pawnshop will offer. If you're really in a hurry to accumulate bloodscrip, you can set your DUSKRUIN REWARD for only extra bloodscrip. However, loot represents perhaps 20% of the value you'll pull out of the sewers (when you include the rare high-value stuff), so you probably want to take the time to sort through it.

'''Nowadays, Duskruin loot comes out (temporarily) loresung! Just RECALL the item to see its properties.''' Steps below may be unneeded now because of the active (temporary) RECALL status on items. It lasts 30 days.

[[Loresinging|Loresingers]] are in high demand during and after Duskruin, and your locker space is not infinite. You'll really want to pare down the loot before storing it, getting it sung, and selling it (or using it yourself). Here's a basic procedure you can follow:

* Exchange your common ores at the Archaeologist in the dig below the Arena. He will exchange it for an [[MoonShard_pendant#Bloodrunes|ur-barath totem]] that is needed to create bloodrunes. Totems obtained from the arena by death/surrender/not winning can be sold to the archaeologist.
* Sell your unneeded moonshard pieces to the Archaeologist in the dig below the Arena. While these pieces are not regularly available, he should give you a bit of bloodscrip for them if you have them. There's a lich script for this: <br />;repository info archaeologist
* Use Elemental Detection [[405]] if you know it to determine what you can about it.
* Take all jewelry (crowns, armbands, necklaces, etc) to the jeweler and appraise. If it is worth less than 10,000 silvers, it's pretty safe to sell. If it's worth 10000-25000, it may be mage rechargeable. You might choose to get it sung, but you're unlikely to miss out on a lot of value by selling it right now.
* If it's worth 25000+, but still appraisable, it may have a small enhancive on it. Wear it to see if you can tell what it is. If it enhances something nice (e.g. strength, aura) and/or is in a nice slot (e.g. pin good, head bad), it's worth holding onto for resale. If you see no enhancive, it could still potentially be something like health, mana, stamina, or spirit regen, but it's probably safe to toss. If the jeweler refuses to throw out a number, it's almost certainly enhancive. You should probably get it sung to even if it's not obvious what the enhancive is.
* Take everything else to the pawnshop and appraise, preferably one that provides an estimated value for items that get a 35k (max) offer. Wehnimer's Landing does this, as well as Icemule Trace if you're a citizen.
* Deal with a pawnshop that gives you the best price. This varies by race so there's no one right answer for everyone. Refer to the chart about [[trading]].
* If the offer is less than 35k, it's safe to pawn. If it's more than 35k, try to figure out why. Look at it to see if it's enchanted more than normal (you'll see an enchanter's mark). Hold it (weapon) or wear it (armor) to see if it has obvious enhancive properties. Consider a trip to the [[Abandoned Inn crystal]], which can reveal properties like sanctification, weighting, padding, and enchant level.
** Note: It is common for heavier armor (studded leather and up) to appraise for 35k even if it's just +20 enchant and otherwise plain. If you can't find anything special about it, it may be safe to pawn.
* Now that you've sold the fodder, get a bard to sing to what's left. Take notes of what the bard reveals with a complete description of the item. Especially a runestaff. Because the glossy ancient fireleaf runestaff might be the valuable one and the silvery ancient fireleaf runestaff might just be +22. There are ''so many'' runestaff finds in the sewer.
* <s>Is it a golvern segment (sewers only) or a four-ringed metal pendant (arena only)? It's worth millions. Hold onto it.</s> (These have been removed)

At this point, you may have identified some valuable stuff that you can't use yourself. Time to sell!
* Check out prices at [[https://ps.lichproject.org/ player shops]] to find comparable items. These prices generally represent an upper bound for the value of the item - they're the price that items aren't selling for.
* Search [[http://forum.gsplayers.com/forumdisplay.php?11-GSIV-Merchant-s-Market The Gemstone IV Players' Corner]] for sales of similar items.
* You can ask around on LNet for what other people think it's worth, but people may quickly tire of doing your homework for you.
* List your item:
** If you have your own player shop, you might want to make use of it.
** You might list it as an auction or flat price offering at the Players' Corner.
** You could auction it live on the LNet Merchant channel. This will be more convenient and quicker, but possibly less lucrative.

== '''Retired Duskruin Events and Venues''' ==

=== The Mania and/or Auction Event/s (RETIRED) ===

Usually, Wyrom puts on a crazy live event that includes auctions, reverse auctions, spins, and more. It's been called Wyromania, Shenanigans, and other things. This includes high end and rare items - sometimes things from the HESS, sometimes things so rare they appear nowhere else. But no free things anymore. It is normally held a few days before the end of Duskruin. Watch for the announcement of the date and Bring All The Bloodscrip. The TownCrier provides both live coverage of the event via ESP and the TownCrier LNet channel and a written record of it for posterity.

As of February 2022, Wyrom is removing all the give-aways from this event and putting them into the treasure piles (which were 1,000,000 silvers per pull last time).

He is moving Mania's rare item offerings to a new reverse auction system where you can inspect what is on the auction block with the DUSKRUIN MANIA command; the actual bidding to take place in the [[New Bids on the Block]] Auction House, located in the same room where you enter the HESS.

Mania is an extremely crowded live event. Your spells will be stripped as you walk in. Take all crowd-friendly precautions ahead of entry to avoid ugly server crashes and delays:

*read all the signs
*follow all the rules
*listen very carefully
*there's usually no passing of items or scrip once in the event's room
*bring all the things you think you may need, most of the services on things are added to them on the spot and there is no time for a locker run.
*have your bloodscrip already deposited and available in SCRIP BALANCE
*stop all your spells and spell songs.
*remove any item you wear with a "noisy" script on it, or pause/sleep it. ANALYZE may tell you how, PROD is the first verb to try for that.
*no pets. Keep your pets contained, sleeping, elsewhere, etc.
*if the room allows for speaking, keep all non-whispered communication and actions to the bare minimum of interacting only when needed with the GM Host.
*stop auto-acting scripts that check for your spells

'''Be warned:''' bad actors often do not even get a warning before being banned from the proceedings.

=== The Bank Heist (RETIRED) ===
Hinted at since the beginning of Duskruin (2015), The Heist debuted at the June 2018 Duskruin Arena event, and closed in February 2023. You can choose to aid in the heist, stop the heist, or stop those who are trying to prevent the heist. This is a solo adventure, and requires one entry slip from the stamped voucher booklet (only). It's a mix of puzzles (mild) and combat (vs. like-level and bosses). Some of the tasks are skill-based, but have optional ways to complete if you are without the proper skill.

The TownCrier archived [http://gstowncrier.com/knowledge-base/wyrom-writes-a-primer-for-the-bank-heist-at-duskruin/ Wyrom's post about getting started] on the Heist which is kind of long for this.

There will be some unique rewards that tie in with the arena and sewers. Bloodscrip is earned, there is incidental loot, and a new collectible.

'''Wyrom''' offered this overview and starting tips when he introduced the Heist in June of 2018:
<BLOCKQUOTE>When we rolled out the Bank Heist, we wanted it to be a more immersive experience with discovery. The Bank Heist takes place in three secret hideouts for the three factions.

The '''Silent Investors''' can be found somewhere in the Hushed Park.

The '''Poisoned Heretics''' are rumored to be on Pewter Road. Some have been found hanging around The Dented Phylactery.

The '''Ophidian Cabal''' tend to hang out off Copper Road in a tavern named the Keg of the Bloody Asp.

Look in these places to find clues how to access the hideouts.

When joining each group, during the first "stage" of the heist, you will receive clues on how to understand the flow of the event. It's not too difficult, but the way to complete it isn't quite a cookie cutter guess-the-verb puzzle.</BLOCKQUOTE>

<pre{{log2}}>You analyze your toxin-covered misericord and sense that the item cannot be altered in any way.

The creator has also provided the following information:

This can be used inside the bank heist at Bloodriven Village.

Usage:
STAB misericord - This will kill the first enemy in the Bank of Bloodriven.

The misericord cannot be lightened.</pre>

Items you can find in the sewers/heists can be used in the sewers/heists to help (such as the misericord above).

====Silent Investors (SI) (27162)====
''The Silent Investers are a hired militia/vigilantes that are tasked to stop the bank heist from happening. They’re targeting the OC, but they also have to deal with the Poisoned Heretics. Their job is to find and track the threats inside the bank. Once they complete their mission (or maybe failed), they will be awarded with a prize pouch.'' ~Wyrom

'''Primer Advice from Arianiss:'''

260 bloodscrip

COMMANDS: listen, track, guard, ???

SKILLS: perception (2x+), survival (1x+)

Listen for the enemy (uses perception skill; you get hit with a poison dart (Poison Resistance (105) prevents the poison) if you fail). Kill the enemy. Track to advance (uses survival skill; you get attacked by an asp if you fail).

0x perception -- You attempt to listen for any threats within the bank, but aren't very successful.

1x perception -- You attempt to listen for any threats within the bank, but aren't very successful.

2x perception -- You hear something nearby.

3x perception -- ??? (maybe something about guarding an object or preparing to be attacked)

0x survival -- You attempt to track any threats within the bank, but aren't very successful. (yes asp)

1x survival -- You attempt to track any threats within the bank, but only find some old footprints. (no asp)

2x survival -- You spot some footprints nearby. (no asp)

====Poisoned Heretics (PH) (27168)====
''The Poisoned Heretics are a band of assassins that are working to stop the Silent Investors. They aren’t allied with the Ophidian Cabal, and their motives are unknown. Their job is to watch and sneak around the bank and assassinate the Silent Investor marauders. Like above, they will be rewarded with a prize pouch.'' ~Wyrom

'''Primer Advice from Arianiss:'''

?260 bloodscrip?

COMMANDS: watch, sneak, ???

SKILLS: perception (1x+), stalking and hiding (???)

Get out of sight through whatever means necessary (invisibility, hiding, Spirit Fog) and watch the room (uses perception; you get hit by an explosion from a glass sphere if you don't do it from hiding). Kill the enemy. Get out of sight and sneak to advance.

====Ophidian Cabal (OC) (27160)====
''The Ophidian Cabal are bandits who just want one thing. The riches inside the vault. They observe their surroundings, looking for things to steal. Unlike the above, they aren’t awarded a prize pouch, but whatever they steal they keep.'' ~Wyrom

'''Primer Advice from Milax:'''

The Ophidian Cabal portion of the Heist consists of progressing through five rooms to a final vault room. In order to receive the maximum reward, you need to ''enter the vault before five minutes is up''. Once you enter the vault, there's no time limit to finish.

* In each room, you need to HIDE (or cast [[Invisibility]]), then OBSERVE, then STEAL, which reveals bloodscrip hidden in the room.
** GM Haxus, from Discord underscored this with: "...in the heist where you have to steal the bloodscrip, make sure you are always doing some kind of hiding if you want the full 65 per search."
** Pro tip for non-hiders and those who do not know the Invisibility spell - get a glass amulet from your local alchemist shop.
* Combat won't initiate until you OBSERVE in each room. After observing, enemies will enter the room.
* The Guards scale in level with your own, but they aren't too tricky if you're careful and know how to hunt well.
* The enemies get progressively more challenging in each room, and they'll eventually start to summon guard dogs to assist them, which can overwhelm you fairly quickly. Dispatch the guards as quickly as possible so the dogs don't overwhelm you.
* The guards can induce roundtime.
* Disablers are useful here; opening with something like [[709]] (grasp of the grave) allows you to guard against too many dogs being summoned.
* If you don't hide before observing, you'll be spotted, and you'll suffer damage--usually with a minor wound--and get a smaller reward for succeeding in eliminating all enemies in the room.
* After completing the final room, you'll get a final search in the vault, which gives you a trinket reward that can be turned in to the Ophidian Cabal leader for additional bloodscrip or exchanged for a [[Bag of Holding]] (once all components are assembled).
* There's also a very small chance in the vault to find a multifaceted blood crystal, which is the most valuable part of the Bag of Holding.

'''Primer Advice from Arianiss:'''

260 bloodscrip

COMMANDS: observe, steal, pace, ???

SKILLS: perception (1x+), a way to not be seen

Get out of sight through whatever means necessary (invisibility, hiding, Spirit Fog) and observe the room (uses perception; you get hit by an explosion from a glass sphere if you fail; you get more bloodscrip if you "successfully" observe from "hiding"). Kill the enemy or pace to create a misleading trail of footsteps. Steal the loot to advance.

==== The Duskruin Dig (RETIRED) ====
''The dig is gone.''

The Duskruin Dig event takes place under the arena where the excavation of the old site full of treasures is located. You dig with a pickaxe (purchased from the [[SimuCoin store]]) in the appropriate areas for boxes. Pickaxes are sold with a set number of uses. A "use" ticks off when you find a box.

You dig, dig, and dig until you find something. Move to the next area to dig again.

ANALYZE your pickaxe to see how many more uses are on it.

The boxes have various names, and the fancier they look, the better the loot is inside of them. Boxes can contain coins, gems, and prizes. There is a prize feeder of increasing values that people refer to as tiers. Probably tiers 1-4. Plus an additional level referred to as a Jackpot, where the best prizes are found. Many Simucoin shop items will be in the boxes, too. Look at the list from the Spring 2017 [[Duskruin Dig#Prizes|Duskruin Dig]].

The shops of [[Bloodriven Village]] will be open where you can spend any [[bloodscrip]] you have. Note that they do not take silvers, except for the one tattoo shop. Previous events will give you an idea of their offerings. Shops close, open, and/or rotate inventory for each event.

Note also that there is no bloodscrip in the Dig. You will need to participate in an accompanying venue that is open to earn bloodscrip, like the Arena or the Sewers.

With a large warning that you should be responsive and at the keyboard at all times, there seem to be two Duskruin Dig scripts for lich: ;duskdigbin and ;ddig. That should help your wrists. I know they help mine.

=== The Treasure Trove (RETIRED) ===

The Treasure Trove was removed from Duskruin for the February 2023 run.

<strike>A raffle for a jackpot level item draws once a day. This is a token raffle, and you earn tokens in all the Duskruin venues, Arenas, Sewers, and the Heist. This run it is drawing around 8:20pm, Eastern. But you can enter anytime for the item up, and have up to 24 hours to collect it from the rack.

It is located in the warehouse at Faida Lane (Lich room 26868) and typically does not open up for a number of days after the event starts. The Treasure Trove is only open to Subscribed accounts (not Free To Play ones). All the information for this Duskruin's Trove will be kept at the [[Duskruin Treasure Trove/prize list August 2022]] page, including a record of the prizes offered and how to participate.

Extra treasure trove tokens can be sold to the Dabbler, behind the curtain in the High End Scrip Shop (HESS).</strike>

Look [[Duskruin Treasure Trove|here]] for more specific Treasure Trove help and background.

== '''All the big credit givings''' ==

Many thanks to everyone who asks questions over the Help channel and report things that this document is missing, like Mister Wonkus, whose last question the other day sent me running here to make sure it got added for the next GemStone player who wanted to know the same thing!

Keep those questions and comments coming, people!

Once a destination is chosen, use '''urchin guide [destination]''' to travel.

'''Example:'''
<pre{{log2}}>
>urchin guide pawn
You flag down a nearby urchin and indicate your desired destination. The urchin nods to you and rapidly guides you through a series of back alleys, side streets, and little-used shortcuts until you reach your destination in mere seconds.
[Kilron's Pawnshop, Front Room]
This little pawnshop is somewhat cheerier than you would expect, presided over by its well-dressed and well-heeled owner, Kilron. A polished white marble counter is set off by freshly whitewashed walls and a highly varnished wood floor. An antique cabinet on the far wall holds several impressive and equally ancient weapons, some precious trinkets, and several items that you cannot identify, except that they seem to glow in different shades of colored light with different intensities. You also see a slatted wooden case and an oak door.
Obvious exits: out

Test server

2020-09-11T08:38:23Z

JARA: Test realm characters resynced with prime within the last 48 hours.

<div class="alert alert-info"><center>'''Players have access to the test server while GMs need to test things, it is not necessarily always on.'''</center></div>
The '''test server''' is an [[out of character]] (OOC) instance of [[GemStone IV]] that contains the entire Prime game and is open for subscribers to test out different builds and mechanics. All Prime data is occasionally uploaded to the test server so that players can test an up-to-date version of their character(s), and instant [[skill migration]] is turned on so that characters, regardless of level or when they were generated, behave as though they are new characters in the first 30 days of existence.

A few commands exist in the test server to help players not have to deal with the everyday challenges of Prime:

*{{boldmono|HEALME}} will remove injuries and restore all [[health]], [[stamina]], and [[spirit]], as well as all daily uses of [[MANA SPELLUP]].
*{{boldmono|DEMO TELEPORT}} will transport a character instantly to a drop point in the region specified.
*{{boldmono|LEVELUP}} If you're under level 100, it will set you +1 level. If you're level 100, it will give you enough experience for your next set of training points. There is a 60 second cooldown between uses. (The command won't always be active, but for the current set of testing going on, it will be.)
