|description = Spiritually bond to your [[weapon]].
|mechanics = Adds +2 to [[Attack Strength]] (AS) and bonuses to [[CML]] attack/defensive strength when using the bonded weapon. To bond with a weapon, you must first venture to a [[Holy places|holy shrine]] to establish a spiritual connection between yourself and your weapon. Once connected, your weapon will become increasingly able to be bonded with as you use it in combat. You will not begin to derive benefit from your ranks until you and your weapon have sufficiently bonded in combat.

At each rank, your weapon gains a special ability that will randomly activate in combat. See {{boldmono|FEAT WEAPONBONDING}} for a list of these abilities. Upon mastery, your weapon will also gain the ability to attempt to return to your hand if it is [[disarm]]ed or [[hurl]]ed.
|additionalinfo =
=== How To Bond ===
To choose the weapon, you need to be holding your desired weapon type, visit a [[Holy places|holy shrine]], and {{boldmono|FEAT WEAPONBOND PRAY}}. After bonding to a new weapon, the warrior's spirit is reduced by 1.

==== Bonding Messaging ====

<pre{{log2}}>>kneel
You kneel down.

>feat weaponbonding pray
You have already bonded yourself to a weapon at some time in the past. If you form a new bond, the old bond will be lost. If you wish to form a new bond use FEAT WEAPONBOND PRAY CONFIRM to proceed.

>feat weaponbonding pray confirm
You hold your eahnor-spiked maul up in offering and mutter some prayers to Kai. After a moment of silence, a steely silver shaft of light springs forth from your eahnor-spiked maul and bathes you in its glow. Images of the eahnor-spiked maul from its moment of creation to the present flash before your eyes in quick succession. As the images and shaft of light fade away, you feel heavily drained but somehow more spiritually attuned to the eahnor-spiked maul.</pre>

==== The Bonding Process ====
When a Warrior trains in the '''Weapon Bonding''' feat, there is no immediate benefit. The bonding process requires extensive use of the weapon; the effects do not appear immediately upon learning the skill. Instead, the number of ranks the warrior has gained in '''Bonding''' acts as a ceiling to the available benefits.

=====Bonding Experience Requirements=====

As a warrior earns experience with the weapon, the bond periodically strengthens. Thanks to player research by Brute [http://forum.gsplayers.com/showthread.php?t=62627] it has been determined that the amount of experience required to advance to the next rank is equal to the Rank# * 100 same-level critter kills. E.g., a level 50 character would need to kill the equivalent of one hundred level 50 critters to advance to Rank 1. Advancement to Rank 2 would require '''an additional''' 200 same-level kills, etc. The cumulative total required to advance to Rank 5 is 1500 SLKs worth of experience (see [[#Weapon Bonding Table|table]]).

''Note: It is not necessary for the warrior to actually inflict the killing blow as long as they are credited with the experience.''

Typing {{boldmono|FEAT WEAPONBOND INFO}} with the weapon in hand will report a message that corresponds with the current level of bonding.

=== Bonding Bonuses ===
A bonded weapon provides +2 to AS and CML skills for each level of bonding the Warrior has achieved. In addition to the AS and other bonuses, the skill also enables a series of special 'effect' abilities, one per level. A warrior that has achieved 5 levels of bonding is fully bonded to his or her weapon; the weapon will then return to the warriors hand in about 5 seconds if it is forcibly removed.

==== Rate of Bonding Flares ====
{{boldmono|FEAT WEAPONBOND EFFECT <#>}} allows the user to choose a specific bonding flare. {{boldmono|FEAT WEAPONBOND EFFECT CLEAR <#>}} will allow the user to clear their previously chosen effect and return to randomized flares. This currently does not work with point and click, and must be typed, as well as any number between 1 and 5 chosen to clear the chosen effect. According to player research by Gnimble [http://forum.gsplayers.com/showthread.php?t=38784], special bonding 'flares' are not random, and happen on a regular basis. After a specific number of swings (increasing with bonding level), the weapon will flare.

Non-standard attacks, like those from the [[Combat Maneuvers|Combat Maneuver List]], [[Multi Opponent Combat#Multi-strike|MSTRIKE]], [[V'tull's Fury (1718)]], and as of right now, [[Unarmed Combat System]], suppress some bonding flares, but the attacks continue to add to this count. Suppose, for example, a warrior was set to rank 4 flares, which occur every 10 swings, and was 3 swings away from the next flare. If that warrior were to then berserk, and swing 15 times, the next two regular attacks would result in bonding flares. The rank 5 flare will occur when using [[Multi Opponent Combat#Multi-strike|MSTRIKE]] and [[Berserk]].

Thaumaturge Tome

2024-02-29T13:03:01Z

RJQUIM: Undo revision 214911 by RJQUIM (talk)

<table><tr valign="top"><td>
'''Thaumaturge Tomes''' were introduced at the Grand Auction of 5123 on March 26, 2023. The Thaumaturge Tome was designed and coded by GM Auchand. During the August 2023 run of Duskruin, the tomes, up to Tier 4, became generally available, sold at [[BVShop:Paranormal Pages|Paranormal Pages]]. Tier 5 will remain of "exceptional rarity." At tier 5, you can have 10 verbs unlocked but not all of the verbs listed to the right. This is intentional for each tome to retain some uniqueness.

You may {{boldmono|[[SUMMON]] TOME}} if your tome is lost due to a disconnect or it does not return upon logging off.

All combat action SMR success is level based.

The combat actions occur automatically if the tome has ''anima'', it is flying via {{boldmono|[[RAISE]]}}, and an enemy is present.

You may {{boldmono|[[LOOK]] AT TOME}} to determine how much ''anima'' has been infused into it. You may do this when the tome is in your hand or it is flying.

<pre{{log2}}>Bound by covers of aged dark leather, the tome's front cover is inlaid with a winking red stone set in an oval of gold. The pages are trimmed in a dusting of gilt.

The tome is currently infused with 222 anima.</pre>

Thaumaturge Tomes can only send messages to others if their [[demeanor]] toward you is not cold.

'''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==
===[[Currency]]===
The featured currency for Duskruin Arena is [[bloodscrip]] which is used to purchase goods and services from the various shops, including the [[HESS]] and [[WPS smithy]]. It can be found in the sewers and earned through arena bouts or participation in the bank heist.

===Shopping===
* '''[[Bloodriven Village]]''' - Bloodriven Village shops feature various exclusive items and finds, including [[Animalistic Spirit]] items, [[Cursed Armor]], and more.
* '''[[High End Scrip Shop|HESS]]''' - Duskruin Arena offers the High End Scrip Shop, a shop that offers certificates to improve items or get your hands on rare items or ores.
* '''[[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'''''

===[[Duskruin Mania]]===
Duskruin Mania is an auction event that occurs during Duskruin, where bidding is done with bloodscrip. Recently, two types of mania have occurred, automated and manually run by [[Lahke]].

===[[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.

===Blacksmith===
Visit the Blacksmith for a chance at uncommon and rare slabs of metal for forging.

==Additional Information==

===Pricing===
Entry to Duskruin Arena can be gained by purchasing a voucher or booklet of vouchers from the '''[[SimuCoin | Simucoin store]]'''. Entries can be used for the arena, sewers, or bank heist..
