Harvested from its native forests in the [[Pinefar]] forests, '''orase''' wood has long been a favorite material for magical articles by the halflings who settled those mountains. Hardy in the most rugged climates, the orase is a medium-sized tree that coexists well with the conifers of that region. Its bark is rough, and its branches are usually forked and irregular, making it a good material for staves and shields, but unsuitable for use by archers. It has a highly defined grain that makes the shields produced from it highly prized. It is, additionally, exceedingly hard and dense and carries a substantial magical talent.

__NOTOC__
Although taller than the average krolvin, the slaver retains the characteristic long-fingered hands. His sturdy musculature is apparent beneath the grey-blue skin. Thick, coarse, white hair covers his head and spreads across his shoulders and down his back.

==Hunting strategies==
The main threat posed by a [[krolvin slaver]] is its spells [[Tremors (909)]] and especially [[Major Elemental Wave (435)]]. Given these spells, and that [[krolvin corsair|krolvin corsairs]] can also [[tackle]], as well as large [[encumbrance]] aboard the [[Krolvin Carrack]] may cause one to fall over, finding oneself [[prone]] and in [[roundtime]] is not uncommon. Under such conditions, Major Elemental Wave is particularly devastating, typically leading to stun or [[critical]] death.

The slavers typically wear rather heavy armor, often hindering their own spells, which can offer de facto assistance. However, the best hunting strategy in general involves simply not dying. If one can further impede or prevent slavers from successfully casting spells, one should not encounter any other difficulties.

The successful hunter will act quickly after a slaver prepares a spell to avoid a possible Major Elemental Wave, considering any of these options:
* Right limb removal, for example by:
** [[ambush|ambushing]]
** [[Limb Disruption (708)]] (found in [[Pale thanot wand|pale thanot wands]])
* [[Mystic Impedance (1708)]] (found in [[smooth amber wand|smooth amber wands]])
* [[Spirit Dispel (119)]]
* [[Silence (210)]]
* [[Elemental Dispel (417)]]
* [[Sounds (607)]]
* [[Corrupt Essence (703)]]
* Heavily stun them or induce roundtime
* Run away!
Of course, some of the above options, depending on the case, can be done in advance to the slaver preparing a spell, and are strongly advised.

==Spell Preparation Messaging==
<div {{log|margin-right=350px}}>A krolvin slaver snarls as he chants a few words of magic.</div>

==Other information==
* At least aboard the [[Krolvin Carrack]], keeping true to its name, a [[krolvin slaver]] can enslave you:
<div {{log|margin-right=350px}}>A krolvin slaver reaches outward, his arm encircling your neck. Knocking your hands away, he bludgeons the side of your head until your eyes glaze over. Once subdued, the slaver drags you off into the dank hold.</div>

This does not do any physical damage, but it transports you to one of the many Slave Pens on the Carrack off of the Slave Deck. The effect stuns you for a few rounds, and it sometimes also puts you in a sitting position (may have a success or level-based dependency). The [[krolvin slaver]] will of course accompany you, and it will continue to attack you in this condition.

<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>The spectral warrior shimmers for an instant, seemingly half real and half phantom, his semi-ethereal armor faintly gleaming as it moves. A gaunt face stares out from beneath the ghostly helm, his eyes swirling pits of blackness that seek out living foes, hatefully wishing to resign others to his own horrible fate.</pre>

==Hunting strategies==

Spectral Warriors can be insanely easy or an extreme pain in the rear, due to their ability to [[Disarm Weapon|disarm]], their tendency to "phase out" when attacked, and the heavy armor they wear (brig, chain, or plate).

If you can hunt without a weapon or runestaff in your hand, it is advisable that you do so to avoid their disarming and the twenty second [[roundtime]] that comes with it. If that is not possible, use a cheap weapon with [[Elemental Blade (411)]] cast on it or some other weapon you will not miss if lost. Many an adventurer has lost a prized weapon to this beast.

The spectral warrior's ability to "phase out" is always triggered by either a spell or physical attack that is targeted at them, wasting your [[mana]] and/or sticking you in roundtime while they avoid your attack and remain unattackable until they phase back in. This ability can be nullified by casting [[Phase (704)]] at them, which will keep them rooted in the physical realm, saving you from wasting mana or swings when they suddenly disappear on you.

Heavy weapons and warding spells work well against spectral warriors while light weapons, ranged weapons, and most bolt spells are not recommended due to their heavy armor.

Occasionally, spectral warriors will swing significantly harder than normal for one swing. This attack is immediately preceded by the messaging: <pre{{log2|margin-right=350px}}}>A spectral warrior's eyes pulse, becoming black, swirling voids!</pre>
The AS increase is equal to 2x the spectral warrior's level. The base AS increase is +68.

*Base AS (+250)
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>A spectral warrior swings a rusted broadsword at you!
AS: +250 vs DS: +348 with AvD: +35 + d100 roll: +28 = -35</pre>

*Boosted AS (+318)
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>A spectral warrior's eyes pulse, becoming black, swirling voids!

A spectral warrior swings a rusted broadsword at you!
AS: +318 vs DS: +348 with AvD: +35 + d100 roll: +57 = +62</pre>

==Other information==

The [[Citadel Garrison]], where spectral warriors are now found, was once where [[greater orc]]s and [[large ogre]]s roamed. When the warriors moved in, they forced out the previous inhabitants of the Garrison who relocated to the [[Citadel Armory]]. The sudden change to their hunting grounds caused a shock to many novice adventurers who thought they would be facing relatively easy foes only to be cut down by these ethereal beings that seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

Example of a spectral warriors phasing ability:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>
Just as you move to attack, the spectral warrior vanishes into nothingness with a hollow laugh!
Roundtime: 5 sec.
</pre>
This actually makes them disappear entirely, until they re-appear:
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>
Ethereal wisps coalesce into a spectral warrior!</pre>

Spectral warriors spawn in a few different equipment configurations.

<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>She had a rusted broadsword, some rotting brigandine armor, a battered steel shield.
She has some rusted steel half plate (worn) and a tarnished flail.
He has an old pitted halberd and some dented augmented chain (worn).</pre>

Nearly as tall as a typical human, the humanoid reptilian hisskra shares many characteristics with mankind. A long snout filled with an array of sharp teeth dominates the hisskra's facial features, giving him the appearance of a bipedal iguana. Well-defined pectorals and a muscular torso are nearly man-like, but for the dull, dark green scales that fade to a paler shade at the throat, and the ridge of mottled, boney spines that runs from between the hisskra shaman's shoulder blades to the tip of his four-foot tail. The hisskra's muscular limbs end in thick-fingered, partially-webbed hands and feet tipped with blackened claws, which are formidable weapons should the creature lose his more civilized martial implements. A primitive necklace formed of the bones of various sea creatures hangs around the shaman's neck, signifying his rank.

==Hunting strategies==

Like the other [[Hisskra]] the shaman are protected by thick, scaly, plates. A physical swing can be negated by this armor or can even jar a weapon loose. This can be a devastating problem if there are other hisskra present. It is often advised to use throw away weapons and have them [[Elemental Blade (411)|e-bladed]]. Hisskra, and the shaman are no exception, actually will work together and drag off stunned or prone allies to safety. The shaman have a habit of casting [[Minor Sanctuary (213)|Minor Sanctuary]] if any of their allies in the room are deceased and subsequently raising them.

Their thick scaly hide, however, makes small weapons and arrows a difficult prospect (even for like-level ambushers). Spell-casters must be wary of the hisskra tail-sweep maneuver, which can put you on the ground. By themselves, the shaman don't put up much of a challenge, but combined with their brethren they can leave you dead with your weapon on the ground.

As tall as a typical human, the humanoid reptilian hisskra shares many characteristics with mankind. A long snout filled with an array of sharp teeth dominates the hisskra's facial features, giving him the appearance of a bipedal, ruby-crested iguana. Well-defined pectorals and a muscular torso are nearly man-like, but for the dull, dark green scales that fade to a paler shade at the throat, and the ridge of boney, red-tinged spines that runs from between the hisskra chieftain's shoulder blades to the tip of his five-foot tail. The hisskra's muscular limbs end in thick-fingered, partially-webbed hands and feet tipped with blackened claws, which are formidable weapons should the creature lose his more civilized martial implements. A glint of cunning is revealed in the depths of the hisskra chieftain's eyes as he peers about, his tongue flicking over his scaly lips.

Hisskra, and the chieftains are no exception, actually will work together and drag off stunned or prone allies to safety. The chieftans are tougher versions of the [[hisskra warrior|warriors]] and carry similar armaments including the ubiquitous slime-covered [[trident]]. In addition to their physical prowess, the chieftains can draw out a blow-gun and hit their opponents with a small poison-tipped dart. The poison can cause dizziness ([[RT]]), lethargy ([[slow]]), and even put the opponent into a prone stance.

Their thick scaly hide, however, makes small weapons and arrows a difficult prospect (even for like-level ambushers).

==Hunting Strategies==
;General Advice
* Oozes are essentially noncorporeal, uncrittable, unstunnable damage sponges that often divide themselves into oozelings upon getting hit, where each oozeling has a fraction of the original ooze's health but otherwise has similar combat abilities and stats on all fronts. If left unchecked long enough, the oozelings' health will grow. Since oozes reduce their own health by splitting and since they split when they're attacked, using even weak AoE attacks can clear rooms more quickly than using powerful single-target attacks. [[Clash]], [[Cyclone]], [[Divine Incarnation (1650)]] Onslaught, [[Divine Wrath (335)]], [[Judgment (1630)]], [[Nature's Fury (635)]], [[Pulverize]], [[Song of Sonic Disruption (1030)]], [[Volley]] (with a [[short bow]] or [[hand crossbow]] only to keep [[roundtime|RT]] manageable), [[Whirling Blade]], and [[Whirlwind]] are all good. In particular, Divine Wrath, Song of Sonic Disruption, and Volley stand out due to respectively multiple rounds of damage, low [[mana]] cost (upon renewal), and low [[stamina]] cost mixed with multiple rounds of damage. All three of those options can lead to rooms going from one ooze to ten in no time, then down to zero also in no time, as oozes divide constantly.
* If absorbed by an ooze, an adventurer can attack its organ until it spits them out.
* Culling bounties for oozes go quickly since oozelings count.

<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>A creature of sublime beauty, the nonomino floats just above the ground in a pulsing sphere of unearthly light. As you watch, he abruptly turns his head to stare, as cracks distend across his visage and the glorious mantle peels away to reveal disease and decay. The incarnation constantly molts his epidermis, regenerating it moments later in a hideous parody of the struggle between life and death. Frozen by the hypnotic horror of his appearance, you almost fail to notice the nonomino's fluid movement, and the adept dance of his hands as he summons his theurgical arsenal.</pre>

==Behind the Scenes==
Nonominos are a class of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonomino mathematical objects] with "nine cells", often serpentine in shape, used in puzzles reminiscent of Sudoku or Tetris. This strange name for a creature might be an [[Carceris#Behind the Scenes|oblique allusion]] to medieval Welsh folklore where [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br%C3%A2n_the_Blessed Bran the Blessed] wages war with the Irish King Math, involving a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_Dadeni magical cauldron] that brings the dead to life, which is kept bubbling with the breath of nine pythonesses. The [[Wall of Darkness#Behind the Scenes|mortally wounded Bran]] tells the survivors to sever his head, which continues to speak in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annwn Annwn], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Otherworld Celtic Otherworld] where time does not pass and food and drink are plenty. [[Castle Anwyn]] has a throne room of bones with a head on a pike and possesses magical foods which heal and [[Nettle berry|unpoison]] player characters. The same magic cauldron appears in another Welsh poem where [[Terate|King Arthur]] goes to Annwn, which is considered an early basis for the Holy Grail.

Another more esoteric motivation for including a reference to higher mathematics is the possibility of influence by H.P. Lovecraft's [http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/dwh.aspx "The Dreams in the Witch House"], which involves these same premises as [http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/tgsk.aspx "Through the Gates of the Silver Key"] and [http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/dq.aspx "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath"] which are important for [[The Broken Lands]]. In this story there is a student of advanced mathematics and physics who discovers that the subjects are intimately related to folklore and forbidden knowledge, where the intuitive understanding and perception of it allows the ability to project oneself into higher realities. This is influenced in the Lovecraft circle by the pseudo-historical work of Margaret Murray, where faeries are a surviving [[fenghai#Behind the Scenes|primitive race]] underground. Murray had become fixated on faerie lore and its relation to Arthurian legend while convalescing in [[Castle Anwyn#Behind the Scenes|Glastonbury]] which is often identified with Annwn. This is related to the [[Dybbuk#Behind the Scenes|mezuzah]] in the castle barracks, which is arguably also a reference to another pseudo-historical movement, British Israelism which asserts Hebrews and Phoenicians colonized Ireland as the medieval monks had used the [[Castle Anwyn#Behind the Scenes|same words]] to identify the Celtic gods.

Careful scrutiny of the creature will show cracks distending across his visage and mantle peeling away to reveal disease and decay. The incarnation constantly molts his epidermis, regenerating it moments later in a hideous parody of the struggle between life and death. Surprisingly, this horror's movements are very fluid and the adept dance of his hands as he summons his theurgical arsenal is hypnotic.</pre>

Half-elven invoker

2022-11-08T21:16:21Z

LAGEIROS: /* Schedule */

{{TOCright}} The '''half-elven invoker''' can sometimes be found in the Small Park of [[Wehnimer's Landing]] (Lich #288) offering spells to those in need. The invoker appeared on February 23, 2021. Currently, the invoker is thought to be a temporary feature, but no plans have been shared regarding her future. Everything here, including her continuing schedule, spells, or existence, may change without notice.

===Schedule===
The exact schedule of the invoker has varied since her introduction, usually every four hours but other times as often as hourly. She provides two message on Realm [[ESP]]:

<pre{{log2}}>[Realm] The invoker thinks, "Residents of Wehnimer's Landing, I will be arriving to Town Square, Small Park in approximately 15 minutes to offer spells to those in need."</pre>

<pre{{log2}}>[Realm] The invoker thinks, "Residents of Wehnimer's Landing, I am currently at Town Square, Small Park and offering spells to those in need."</pre>

She usually departs 15 minutes after her arrival but sometimes stays continuously.

''As of 2022-11-07, the Invoker's schedule, in game time (Eastern Time Zone), was: 12am, 2am, 4am, 8am, 12pm, 4pm, 6pm, 8pm, 10pm. It changed slightly after Daylight Saving Time ended in November.''

===Appearance===
<pre{{log2}}>a half-elven invoker garbed in colorful layered robes
Somewhat taller than average, the invoker is clad in layered robes of jewel-toned fabric. Several dark, beaded locks spill from her wide hood. The composition of her features gives evidence of mixed elven and human heritage, and her age is indeterminate. Stark against her olive complexion, a dotted black spiral is inked upon her chin, and sinuous lines above each brow converge upon a stylized eye tattooed vertically at the center of her forehead.

<pre{{log2}}>Swirling vapors boil up from the ground and coalesce into a kaleidoscopic portal. A half-elven invoker garbed in colorful layered robes emerges from the portal and surveys the area with cool assessment.</pre>
;Departure
<pre{{log2}}>With broad gestures, a half-elven invoker garbed in colorful layered robes traces a series of arcs through the air, and a kaleidoscopic portal of swirling vapors manifests before her. She steps into the portal without a backward glance, and it collapses closed behind her with an audible hiss.</pre>
;Ambient
<pre{{log2}}>A grubby urchin sidles up to the half-elven invoker and slips her a folded note. She glances at it briefly before passing the child a few coins.</pre>
<pre{{log2}}>Muttering with distraction, the half-elven invoker shuffles several curious trinkets and carefully rolled scrolls from the inner pockets of one jewel-toned layer to another.</pre>
<pre{{log2}}>Sliding a thin sheaf of parchment from one of her many pockets, the half-elven invoker surreptitiously skims its contents. She appears to be waiting for something.</pre>
<pre{{log2}}>The half-elven invoker flips through several pages of gold-inked paper before carefully tucking them away.</pre>
<pre{{log2}}>The half-elven invoker observes the ebb and flow of passersby, her expression inscrutable.</pre>
<pre{{log2}}>With the air of a habitual gesture, the half-elven invoker touches several pockets in succession, as though reassuring herself that their contents are still in place.</pre>

The triton combatant stands hunched, her head thrust forward, and neck enveloped by heavy, muscled shoulders. Tiny alien eyes stare from a prominently bony brow, regarding the world with stubborn truculence. A mottled brown ridge rises from the amphibian's forehead and sweeps up and back, hugging her skull. This heavy protuberance, covered with damp, leathery skin, provides her with formidable head and neck protection.

==Hunting strategies==

Triton combatants carry a version of Triton’s Horn. When blown, they can cause either a fear effect that can cause adventurers to flee the immediate area, reduce stance, or even become immobilized, a Song of Depression effect which slows adventures, or a unique warding spell.

Lock Mastery

2022-11-04T16:18:13Z

LAGEIROS:

'''Lockmastery''' is one of six [[Rogue Guild]] [[guild skill]]s that allows a [[rogue]] to [[Picking Locks|pick]] [[Box (treasure)|box]]es faster, add locks and [[Lockmastery#Clasping containers|clasps]] to certain items, measure a lock size, and a number of other things.
{{TOCright}}
==Skills==
Lockmastery skills are generally skills that relate to traps, locks, and things one can do with traps and locks. Locksmiths use calipers to narrow down the best pick to use while picking boxes. Sorcerers need locked containers to use one aspect of their [[Phase (704)]] spell, and commission rogues to add locks to certain items. Some skills, like the {{boldmono|PTRICK}}s, are useful only for show.

=== Focus ===
{{boldmono|LMASTER FOCUS}} activates a short duration bonus to picking locks and disarming traps and is granted at rank 1. This bonus is mutually exclusive with the bonuses imparted by [[Lock Pick Enhancement (403)]] and [[Disarm Enhancement (404)]], only the higher of the bonuses between these and Focus will be used. This buff can be stopped manually before its natural end via {{boldmono|STOP LMASTER FOCUS}}.

The Focus formula is as follows:
*For {{boldmono|PICKLOCK}} or {{boldmono|DISARM}}: {{mono|(2 * LM rank + ([[Dexterity]] bonus / 2))}}
*For {{boldmono|DETECT}}: {{mono|(2 * LM rank + ([[Intuition]] bonus / 2))}}

===Picking Tricks===
:There are seven different styles that a lockmastery-skilled rogue can use to add style to his picking attempts.

:To use, the syntax is {{boldmono|LM PTRICK <SKILL> <CONTAINER>}}.

:;SPIN (Ranks 1 to 9)
::<pre{{log2}}>With a quick flick of the wrist, you spin your copper tatting spindle around in your palm, stopping it as the tip enters a sturdy iron trunk...</pre>

:;TWIST (Ranks 10 to 19)
::<pre{{log2}}>You give your vaalin lockpick a sharp twist, attempting to straighten it slightly, before settling into the difficult task of picking the lock on a rotting monir strongbox...</pre>

:;TURN (Ranks 20 to 29)
::<pre{{log2}}>Taking a gentle turn, you choke up on your golvern nail file for a better grip, then devote all your attention to the lock on a badly damaged maoral chest...</pre>

:;TWIRL (Ranks 30 to 39)
::<pre{{log2}}>With a casual motion, you twirl your invar lockpick around your index finger, catching it between thumb and forefinger before applying it to the lock of a rotting monir trunk...</pre>

:;TOSS (Ranks 40 to 49)
::<pre{{log2}}>With a quick toss, you send your invar lockpick popping into the air, whirling like a top! As it comes down, you easily snatch it from the air and begin to pick the lock on a sturdy tanik coffer...</pre>

:;BEND (Ranks 50 to 59)
::<pre{{log2}}>You carefully bend the tip of your copper lockpick slightly, adjusting it for a better angle, before attempting to pick the lock on a plain modwir trunk...</pre>

:;FLIP (Ranks 60 to 62)
:{{boldmono|PTRICK FLIP}} is a little different in that it is not followed by the standard box picking messaging. The size of the lock is not displayed.
<pre{{log2}}>
>lm ptrick flip my chest
Pretending to only examine the lock of a rotting haon chest, you instead attempt to quietly turn the tumblers to within a hair's breadth of clicking...
You make a passable attempt (d100=44).

Then with an easy motion, you flip your lockpick into the air and give the chest a solid smack!

The chest gives off an audible *click* as the tumblers snap open.
</pre>
===Sensing Room Conditions===
:This skill is practiced from rank 1 to 5.

:Room conditions can influence the ability of a rogue to pick a lock. A brighter room is better for lockpicking than a darker room. Fog hinders lockpicking as well.

:There are approximately eight seconds between entering the {{boldmono|LM SENSE}} command and having the room conditions reported back.
<pre{{log2}}>
>lm sense
With a seasoned eye, you begin to examine both yourself and the area in an attempt to ascertain the current conditions for lockpicking...

>
After a thorough examination, you determine that you are in excellent shape, physically. As far as you can tell, the area around you has pretty average lighting.

Unfortunately, the voices in your head will hinder any attempts at serious locksmithing.

Under the current conditions, you think you could probably handle an intricate trap and a fairly easy lock with any old lockpick.
</pre>

LM Sense is the first Lock Mastery skill learned in the guild, it is obtained at rank 1.

:Troubleshooting: If seeing the message <i>"You discover that you're not really skilled enough at this to be able to tell much."</i> or a message about pickpocketing, it is possible that you are only using the {{boldmono|[[SENSE (verb)|SENSE]]}} verb. Please try again using {{boldmono|LM SENSE}}. You will also see this message if you have 0 ranks in lockpicking skill.

[[Media:VO-LM_SENSE.png]] - Solhaven
[[Media:IMT-LM_SENSE.png]] - Icemule Trace
[[Media:IFW-LM_SENSE.png]] - Island of Four Winds
</pre>

===Measuring the Size of a Lock with Calipers===
:This skill is practiced from rank 6 to 9.

:Calibrating calipers is practiced from rank 10 to 13.
<pre{{log2}}>
>lm measure my str
Using your professional calipers, you carefully begin to measure the lock...
Roundtime: 10 sec.
R>
Measuring carefully, it looks to be a fairly simple lock.

Those calipers could not be more perfectly calibrated. You should leave them alone. You'll just mess them up.

>lm cal my cal
You make some effort to fine-tune the professional calipers.
You can't help but think that the calipers are as finely-tuned as you are possibly going to get them. They practically glow with calibration!
Roundtime: 12 sec.
</pre>
<b>Note:</b>When finishing the Master task Calibrate with Master bean, when you have the "Those calipers could not be more perfectly calibrated. You should leave them alone. You'll just mess them up." you need to {{boldmono|GIVE CALI TO BEAN}}. Give Bean will not work with the calipers in your hand, and placing them back on the table will yield no finished task.

Calipers provide perfect detection when perfectly calibrated by a master of Lock Mastery.

===Wedging Open Boxes===
:This skill is practiced from rank 14 to 24.

:Using a wooden wedge made in the guild, a locksmith can open a fused or plated box. You must hold the container in one hand and have a wedge in the other.

To make a wedge, go to Rogue Guild, Workshop Toolbench (Room 26232 in the Landing, but every guild has a workshop) and {{boldmono|ORDER 1}} (a block of wood). It costs about 300 silvers. Then {{boldmono|CARVE BLOCK}} until it becomes a wedge and then {{boldmono|CARVE WEDGE}} until you get the message to {{boldmono|RUB}} the wedge. {{boldmono|RUB}} it.

*Syntax: {{boldmono|LM wedge my <container>}}
<pre{{log2}}>
Locksmith inserts the tip of his warped wooden wedge just under the lid of his monir trunk and carefully works it back and forth until it is firmly seated. Locksmith tries to jam the wedge in further with the palm of his hand but only manages to splinter it as the tip slides along the edge.
The lid of a weathered monir trunk suddenly splits away from the casing amidst the crunch of splintering wood!
</pre>

===Appraising Lockpicks===
:This skill is practiced from rank 20 to 24.

:Rogues can appraise their lockpicks to determine their quality, condition, and give you a general idea on how large of a lock you can handle. Note: appraising a lockpick with lore will yield higher results.

<pre{{log2}}>
>lm app my lock
You examine the silver lockpick very closely. It appears to be in good condition. It seems to have a somewhat inaccurate level of precision and has below average strength. As far as you can tell, the lockpick has never been repaired. You could probably handle a simple lock pretty easily with it.
</pre>

===Repairing Lockpicks===
:This skill is practiced from rank 25 to 29.
====Bent====
:Repairs can be made to a lockpick after the tip is bent. These repairs do not need to be made at a Rogue Guild toolbench.

<pre{{log2}}>
>lm repair my lockpick
You carefully go about reshaping the invar lockpick, taking great care to provide the proper curvature to the tip.
Roundtime: 9 sec.
</pre>

====Snapped====
:When a lockpick is completely broken, it must be repaired at a Rogue Guild toolbench using a wire of the same material. The wires can be purchased from the attendant at the toolbench. It is usually significantly cheaper and faster to repair lockpicks through Lock Mastery than the local NPC locksmith. For example, a golvern wire would cost 16k, but Shind would cost a Ta'Vaalor full citizen 40k and 8 hours to repair.

:'''Glaes''' lockpicks '''cannot''' be repaired through Lock Mastery, although they can be by the town locksmith, costing around 1,000 silvers and taking 5 hours.

:The ability of the rogue will determine if they have enough skill to repair the lockpick. You must have at least 60 ranks in Lock Mastery, in order to repair vaalin lockpicks.

<pre{{log2}}>
>lm repair my lockpick
Using a small glass dropper, you apply a small bit of acid to the fused joint at the base of the tip of a copper-edged ora lockpick, being careful not to melt the handle or your fingers.

When the tip is loose, you neatly pluck it from its home in a wire-thin hole running up into the handle, before replacing it with a new ora wire.

Taking the old tip, you hold it over the blue flame of a nearby burner with a pair of metal grips. The wire quickly turns red and begins to sag, and just as the first drop threatens to fall into the tongue of flame, you smoothly touch the end of the filament to the joining of the handle and the new wire. The thick molten metal seeps in around the edges of the ora wire, cooling rapidly to form a tight bond.
Roundtime: 11 sec.
</pre>

:If the lockpick is unable to be repaired (either by skill of the locksmith or number of times the lockpick has already been repaired), the messaging is as follows:
<pre{{log2}}>
Using a small glass dropper, you apply a small bit of acid to the fused joint at the base of the tip of a copper-edged invar lockpick, but the broken tip refuses to work free.
</pre>

=== Restoring Lockpicks ===

:Masters of the Lock Mastery (Rogue) guild skill may use {{boldmono|LMASTER RESTORE}} on a favored lockpick once per calendar month to restore it to its original condition. This removes any effects from breaking and repairing the pick. New lockpicks crafted (by players) will be restored to their originally crafted statistics. Lockpicks that were crafted prior to the [[/saved_posts|5/21/20 update]] will be restored to the statistics at the time of that update. Lockpicks obtained from merchants and shops will be restored to the statistics that are standard for their material. Completely broken lockpicks must still first be {{boldmono|LMASTER REPAIR}}ed before being {{boldmono|LMASTER RESTORE}}d.

===Relocking Boxes===
:This skill is practiced from rank 30 to 32.

:A rogue can relock a box, provided that they can handle the lock size. Experience and difficulty reps are not given for picking a relocked box.

<pre{{log2}}>
>lm relock my chest
You settle into the difficult task of relocking the tanik chest.
You make a talented attempt (d100=81).
You struggle with the tumblers. As you do, you get a sense that the chest has a rudimentary lock (-60 thief-lingo difficulty ranking). Then...CLICK! It locks!
Roundtime: 10 sec.
</pre>

===Adding Clasps to Containers===
:This skill is practiced from rank 33 to 35.

:The rogue can add a clasp to certain containers that do not open and close, making them closeable. If the item is scripted, the item will not be able to be clasped via lockmastery.

:For training purposes, rogues can find an uncloseable plain sack for sale in the guild shops.

:The following nouns can possibly take a clasp:
::album, atanika, ataniki, backpack, bag, bankbook, basket, book, burnoose, cape, capelet, carryall, case, casket, cloak, coat, codex, diary, doublet, folio, greatcloak, grimoire, handbag, harness, haversack, hip-basket, hip-satchel, jacket, journal, kit, knapsack, longcloak, longcoat, manifest, mantle, musette, neckpouch, over-gown, overrobe, pack, pelisse, pocketbook, pouch, prayerbook, purse, quiver, register, reliquary, reticule, robe, robes, rucksack, sack, saddlebag, satchel, shroud, shrug, songbook, sporran, tome, tome, toolkit, tube, valise, vestment, volume, and waistcoat

'''NOTE: Adding a clasp to a container counts as one item IN that container, making the container hold one less item when it is filled to capacity.'''

:To see if an item can take a clasp, the {{boldmono|LMASTER CLASP CHECK}} verb can be used.
::*<i>A purple mantle can have a clasp attached to it, but not a lock.
::*A purple mantle already has a clasp, and cannot have a lock added.
::*That already has a clasp, but it can have a lock added.
::*That is not an appropriate type of container to add a clasp or lock to.
::*That's not a container.</i>

:The first time that {{boldmono|LMASTER CLASP}} is used on an item, it will punch a hole in the item, readying it for the clasp held in your other hand. Clasps are available in the guild shops. Also, items with the noun "clasp" found in the [[treasure system]] can be used to clasp containers. Merchants have sold items without the clasp noun at multiple festivals. This action results in 20-30 seconds of [[roundtime]].
<pre{{log2}}>
>lm clasp sack
Picking up a punch from the workbench, you carefully put a hole in the mantle where you intend to attach a clasp.
</pre>

:The second time that {{boldmono|LMASTER CLASP}} is used on an item, you will be prompted for the clasp description. The description of the clasped item can have three variations:

::*To attach the clasp so that it is visible in the [[show description]], the verb is {{boldmono|LMASTER CLASP SHOWDESC}}

::*To attach the clasp so that it is visible in the [[long description]], the verb is {{boldmono|LMASTER CLASP LONGDESC}}

::*To keep the clasp hidden and keep the item's description the same, the verb is {{boldmono|LMASTER CLASP NODESC}}, or simply {{boldmono|LMASTER CLASP}}.

:You may also specify the style in which you want the clasp attached. The following phrases can be used to affix the clasp by typing {{boldmono|LMASTER CLASP {SHOWDESC or LONGDESC} {style}}} after the initial {{boldmono|LMASTER CLASP {item}}}:
:::{| {{prettytable}}
!Description !!Style
|-
|"clasped with"||CLASP
|-
|"secured with"||SECURE
|-
|"buckled with"||BUCKLE
|-
|"fastened with"||FASTEN
|-
|"pinned by"||PIN
|}

<pre{{log2}}>
>lm clasp longdesc pin
Selecting a pair of grips from the workbench, you carefully put a plain clasp through the hole in your plain sack and secure it in place.
Roundtime: 27 sec.
R>glance
You glance down to see a plain sack pinned by a plain clasp in your right hand and nothing in your left hand.
</pre>

:Clasps can be removed from containers using {{boldmono|LMASTER CLASP REMOVE}} by those with enough skill to add a clasp. This will leave the item stuck open and able to have a new clasp added. The process will permanently change the item's long or show description to reflect the removal of the clasp (if applicable), and not all altered items will be able to have the clasp removed.

'''NOTE: Removing a clasp from a container will destroy the clasp, so be sure before you remove the clasp that it is one you do not mind losing permanently.'''

===Making and Adding Locks to Containers===
:This skill is practiced from rank 36 to 38.

:The rogue can create a lock to add to certain containers. The lock can be of any difficulty that the rogue can pick open, though a difficult lock is necessary. The larger the lock size, the more expensive it is to create.

:The rogue can also cut keys and eventually customize said keys. It is advisable to have at least two keys; one key to unlock the container, and another key to store inside the container in case the first key is lost. Lockable containers can also be picked open and relocked via {{boldmono|LM RELOCK}}.

:Having a container that locks has both practical and role playing purposes. Phasing a locked container will cause the items within to become weightless as well as the container itself, making the service desirable for sorcerers.

:The following items can have a lock added to them:
::album, atanika, ataniki, backpack, bag, bankbook, basket, book, box, burnoose, cape, capelet, carryall, case, casket, chest, cloak, coat, codex, coffer, diary, doublet, folio, greatcloak, grimoire, handbag, harness, haversack, hip-basket, hip-satchel, jacket, journal, kit, knapsack, longcloak, longcoat, manifest, mantle, musette, over-gown, overrobe, pack, pelisse, pocketbook, pouch, prayerbook, purse, quiver, register, reliquary, reticule, robe, robes, rucksack, sack, saddlebag, satchel, shroud, songbook, sporran, strongbox, tome, tome, toolkit, trunk, tube, valise, vestment, and volume.

;Creating a lock
:To create a lock, the rogue must go to a workshop toolbench with enough silvers to create the desired lock.
<pre{{log2}}>
>lm lock create 500
You call in a workshop attendant and offer him enough to cover the materials for a -500 lock. A workshop attendant accepts your silvers.

The workshop attendant quickly retrieves a small block of steel and hands it to you before returning to his counter.

Materials in hand, you concentrate on the task of molding a -500 lock. After a short time, you find yourself with an average five tumbler lock assembly in your hand. You select a lock housing from the workbench and slide the average lock assembly inside.
Roundtime: 42 sec.
</pre>

:Unwanted lock assemblies can be sold back to the workshop attendant for roughly 70% of the creation price or used for deeds.

:To attach a lock to a container, one must have a container with one of the nouns listed above and a lock assembly. The container must be able to open and close, and must be open when the lock is added. A workshop is not necessary to install a lock assembly into a container if the rogue has a locksmith's toolkit equipped with a set of narrow metal grips.

<pre{{log2}}>
>lm lock knapsack
Taking the metal grips from your gold-painted toolbox, you insert your lock assembly into the clasp of your leather knapsack, and attach it securely.
Roundtime: 38 sec.
</pre>

:To duplicate a lock assembly, use the {{boldmono|LM LOCK CREATE DUPLICATE}} syntax inside a workshop. This will create an identical lock assembly to one held in the rogue's hand. This is useful for people who want multiple items that lock, but want to use only one key.
::Nota bene: The lock duplication skill can only be used to create genuine duplicates of the smith's own locks.

:Lock assemblies can be removed from containers, but the lock assembly will be destroyed in the process. Locks can only be removed in a workshop. This is useful for those who have lost their keys and would like to regain the ability to lock and unlock the container with a key.
<pre{{log2}}>
>lm lock remove knapsack
You select a tool from the toolbench and, with a bit of finesse and a lot of brute force, pry the lock out of the leather knapsack. Satisfied with your act of destruction, you toss the mangled lock assembly into a nearby wastebin.
Roundtime: 6 sec.
</pre>

;Making Keys
:To cut a key, the rogue must purchase a key blank. Steel key blanks are available in the guild workshops. Key blanks made of various metals can occasionally be purchased at special merchant events.

:Keys can be cut to fit specific lock assemblies or to duplicate existing keys. Keys can NOT be cut to fit the lock assembly after the lock assembly is installed in the container. The lock assembly can be removed from the container in case all keys are lost, but the lock assembly will be destroyed in the process. Keys must be cut specifically for each lock assembly; keys made for assemblies even of the same difficulty will not fit. The only exception is if a duplicate has been made of the same lock assembly.

<pre{{log2}}>
>lm cut
You place a steel key blank into the key-cutting machinery and carefully carve out a pattern that matches a primitive lock assembly.
Roundtime: 33 sec.
</pre>

===Creating Lockpicks===
{{side box|Your (enhanced if applicable) [[Dexterity]], [[Intuition]], and [[Discipline]] bonuses can help (Dex more than the other two), along with your lockpicking skill (bonus not ranks) and LM ranks. There's a large luck component to the modifier but having high values for those things will improve your chances at a good modifier. ~Ixix}}
:This skill is practiced from rank 50 to 56.

:Through Lock Mastery the rogue has the ability to create lockpicks of better quality than those sold at other stores in Elanthia.

;Available Materials and Costs
:To create a lockpick, a rogue needs to purchase a thin bar of metal from the guild workshop.

:Glaes is unavailable because it is volcanic glass. Glaes lockpicks cannot be made by heating and bending the material and thus are not able to be created via Lock Mastery.

;Creating a Lockpick
:Lockpicks must be created inside a workshop. While holding a thin bar of metal, the syntax is {{boldmono|LM CREATE}}.

<pre{{log2}}>
>lm create
Placing your bar of copper onto the grinding wheel, you slowly begin to pare away the excess material. Once you are satisfied that the wheel is no longer precise enough for the task, you remove the remaining strip of copper from the wheel and transfer it to the toolbench to file it down to its final form by hand. After another moment, the work is complete. As you remove the resulting copper lockpick from the toolbench, a quick glance reveals that it's of fairly average quality.
Roundtime: 45 sec.
</pre>

:Lockpicks have the chance to be below average, fairly average, or exceptional. The quality descriptor in the last line of the creation messaging will have an effect on the lockpick's mod.
::<pre{{log2}}>As you remove the resulting copper lockpick from the toolbench, a quick glance reveals that it's of fairly average quality.</pre>
::<pre{{log2}}>As you remove the resulting mithril lockpick from the toolbench, you can't help but be pleased with the exceptional quality of your work.</pre>

===Customizing Lockpicks and Keys===
:This skill is practiced from rank 57 to 62.

:Rogues trained in Lock Mastery can customize the description of lockpicks and keys.
:;Edging

::Edging can be made of copper, brass, bronze, iron, steel, silver, gold, mithril, ora, alum, imflass, vultite, or vaalorn.

::The rogue has the option of putting the edging into the longer description of the lockpick, such as a copper-edged invar lockpick, or into the shorter description. If the latter option is chosen, the short description and activator adjective of the item would be "a copper-edged lockpick", but the full name of the lockpick would still be "a copper-edged invar lockpick".

::Edging of the same material cannot be used to edge the lockpick. For example, one cannot have a copper-edged copper lockpick.

<pre{{log2}}>
>lm customize edge bronze
You call out to a workshop attendant and request some bronze for edging. He wanders in with some bronze and asks for 250 silvers, which you quickly hand over. Taking the bronze from him, you take a heated crimping tool from the workbench and set about edging your copper lockpick. After a few moments, the work is done, leaving you holding a bronze-edged copper lockpick.
Roundtime: 29 sec.

*Laje is available in the Solhaven Rogue Guild

:;Insetting Gems
::Small items such as gems, scarabs, and certain extracted trap parts can be inset into the end of the lockpick.

<pre{{log2}}>
>lm cust inset
You take a chisel from the workbench and quickly scrape out a setting for a small light violet sphere in your lockpick. Replacing the chisel, you take a tube of glue and dab a small amount onto the back of your sphere before placing it on the lockpick and applying some pressure. Once the glue is set, you release your grip and find yourself holding a steel lockpick inset with a small light violet sphere.
Roundtime: 30 sec.
</pre>

:;Colors & Dyes
::Lockpicks can be dyed a number of colors. Dying a lockpick costs 500 silvers.

<pre{{log2}}>
>LMASTER CUSTOMIZE DYE RED-TINGED
You call out to a workshop attendant and request some red-tinged dye. He wanders in with a pot of dye and asks for 500 silvers, which you quickly hand over. Taking the dye from him, you slowly apply the dye evenly across the surface of the lockpick, taking care not to leave any area uncovered. After a moment, the dye has dried, leaving you with a red-tinged copper lockpick.
Roundtime: 32 sec.
</pre>

::{{boldmono|LM CUSTOM DYE ADJUST}} will move the dye color to the middle 15 characters of the short 15/15/15 description. This is useful for those who have multiple lockpicks of the same metal and would like to tell them apart easily.

==Tasks==
Gaining ranks in all of the Rogue Guild skills requires the completion of numerous tasks.

===Master Tasks===
:Depending on the rank of the rogue, the Skilled Masters will ask for different tasks.
:Sense your best lock : Awards 4-7 Training Points
:Sense conditions for traps : {{boldmono|LMAS SENSE}} response does not indicate you've sensed an area inadequately; instead, the master footpad will instead tell you that you've done it wrong without clarifying that it was a detection issue. Just keep going and using response syntax of '''<difficulty> trap''' regardless of whether he gives you credit.

===Parchment Conditions===

[[Lock_Mastery#LM_SENSE_Conditions_Maps|LM SENSE Conditions Maps]]

:<i>The Training Administrator told you to pick some easy boxes under a variety of conditions.</i>
:Awards: 7-9 Training Points
'''-- Wehnimer's Landing -- '''
* Average lighting - TSC, East Tower (all floors)
* Bright lighting - TSE, Two east of Moot Hall
* Dark lighting - SE and S of DeLuca (in guild), East Tower (down the trapdoor)
* Average Lighting, Fog - TSC, TSC Treehouse

:Note:If you lose your parchment telling your which room conditions to find. {{boldmono|ASK DELUCA ABOUT PARCHMENT}}

===Picking Tough Boxes===
:<i>The Training Administrator told you to pick some tough boxes from creatures.</i>
:Awards 6-8 Training Points

===Measuring with Calipers===

===Audience===
:<i>DeLuca assays you with a critical eye and says, "Let's find you something to do to earn a rank in Lock Mastery." DeLuca rubs his chin thoughtfully, then continues, "Whatever ya do, it's important to look good while yer doin' it, and from where I'm standin', yer off to a slow start. Go out and practice openin' some boxes with yer latest trick for an audience. Be sure and get some that are a decent challenge for ya." DeLuca also adds, "Repeat this 5 times."

:The Training Administrator told you to use some decently challenging boxes to practice your latest trick for an audience.</i>

:Practice the latest {{boldmono|[[Lock Mastery#Picking Tricks|PTRICK]]}} learned on a box that provides the locksmith decent challenge in front of at least four people. Rogues active in the guild count as two, Rogue Guild Masters count as three. You can only get one repetition every 30 seconds. Persons that are hidden or invisible do not count as a member of the audience. Those practicing the skill in [[Zul Logoth]], [[Pinefar]] or [[the Rift]] will find that they require an audience of only two people.

:Depending on how far along you are in the skill, you will need to use more difficult boxes.

===Picking Contests===
:<pre{{log2}}>DeLuca assays you with a critical eye and says, "Let's find you something to do to earn a rank in Lock Mastery." DeLuca rubs his chin thoughtfully, then continues, "Think you're getting good at this? Let's find out! Go tell a footpad I sent ya to pit your skills against theirs in a lockpicking contest to the death! Or whatever." DeLuca also adds, "Repeat this 12 times."

:The Training Administrator told you to pit your skills against a footpad.</pre>

:You and the master will each be given five boxes. They might be trapped, they might not. The traps are not dangerous. The locks will be of different sizes. You will be given points for disarming traps, picking boxes, and speed. Like normal picking, using the best lockpick for the lock will give you more points. You will be docked points for missing traps and failing pick attempts. Try to get a higher score than the footpad.

===Wedge Open Boxes===

===Relock Boxes===

===Put Clasps on Containers===

Go to '''[https://gswiki.play.net/Lock_Mastery#Adding_Clasps_to_Containers Adding Clasps to Containers]''' above.

===Create Locks and Keys===

===Extract Trap Components===
:From rank 39 to 48 rogues are assigned to extract components from certain types of traps (e.g., vials of explosives) via the {{boldmono|LM DISARM ON}} command. Not every successful disarm will yield a component. The extracted components are of various practical use; the acid vials in particular are necessary to advance in Lock Mastery. The trap types are added successively as follows:

*39: [[Trap#Poison_Needles|Poison needles]] and [[Trap#Jaws|jaws]]
*41: [[Trap#Acid_Vial|Acid vials]]
*43: [[Trap#Dark_Crystal|Dark crystals]] and [[Trap#Sphere|spheres]]
*46: [[Trap#Gas_Cloud|Gas cloud vials]] and [[Trap#Fire_Vial|fire cloud vials]]

===Customize Lockpicks===
:This skill is practiced from rank 57 to 62.

:Tsoran's site has an excellent table showing the skills, benefits and tasks required to progress in lock mastery. In addition to the benefits listed the smith will see reductions in RT for caliper use and for trap detection and disarming as they reached the advanced ranks of lockmastery.

The waern is a vicious-looking embodiment of canine malice and tenacity. The waern's fiendish green eyes glow with insane appetite and her mangy pelt is so ragged, the rotting bones show through in spots. Long, malicious teeth curve out of the waern's rotting muzzle, and the tail that curves over the waern's back is hardly more than segments of bone interspersed with a few pieces of fuzzy, matted hair. Floating over the ground, her paws scarcely leaving a track, the waern dodges almost quicker than the eye can follow.

==Hunting strategies==
Waerns attack and move rather quickly; they tick about once every round / 6 seconds, but sometimes may tick every 4 seconds). However, they are quickly cut down to size by an effective stun, though they can shake it off. It is best to kill any waern in the room first, they are the only danger when under-hunting. Sorcerers with enough mana to spare might use a cast of [[Pain (711)]] to lock them in RT so they cannot use their bite maneuver.

With [[Mobility (618)]] and [[Strength (509)]] cast on you, along with armor adjustments, the waern will rarely succeed in biting you even if you have no training to that effect. [[Armored Evasion]] seems to be more useful than [[Armor Support]], at least when strengthened without high [[encumbrance]].

==Other information==
Waerns have the ability to inflict disease and drain [[spirit]] upon a successful hit. This has the potential to be deadly if the tower knocks you down.

Waern exist alongside dybbuks and eidolon, except on the roof where there are only eidolon. Swarms are especially dangerous.

Waerns have a "grappling" [[creature maneuver]] that can cause damage, induce [[roundtime]], stun, and disarm a player:
<pre{{log2}}>
A waern lunges at you!
A waern grabs your hand in his mouth and shakes his head back and forth viciously!
... 20 points of damage!
Shot pierces a wrist!
You are stunned for 1 round!
Roundtime: 5 sec.
</pre>

==Behind the scenes==
Waern is an old Scottish word meaning the defenses of a fortification. Other creatures around Foggy Valley are similarly borrowed words from other languages, including: [[eidolon]], [[dybbuk]], [[vesperti]], [[pra'eda]], [[shan]], and [[fenghai]]. These are thematically linked through [[Maleskari]] and [[Bonespear Tower]]. The pra'eda, shan, and waern are all warped travesties of wicked hounds, which is presumably an homage to the hell hounds of [[Castle Anwyn]].

Bonespear Tower appears to be based on Clark Ashton Smith's [http://www.eldritchdark.com/writings/short-stories/27/the-colossus-of-ylourgne "The Colossus of Ylourgne"], which is set in the fictional French province of Averoigne whose forest is infamous for werewolves. Similarly, [[Shadow Valley]] with its [[night hound]]s is influenced by H.P. Lovecraft stories involving hideous flesh transmogrification, as well as unnatural hybrids and other motifs. These areas are all subtextually related, even though it is otherwise not obvious.
