<hr />
<div>'''Mental Lore, Telepathy''' affects Mental sphere magic involving thought and emotion-afflicting spells.<br />
<br />
Telepathic Lore affects several [[Bard Base]] Spells and [[Empath Base]] Spells, and likely in future will play a part in spells in the [[Major Mental]] list, [[Minor Mental]] list and [[Savant Base]] list.<br />
<br />
==[[Bard Base]]==<br />
;*All renewable songs<br />
:Each rank of this lore increases the duration of your song time by two seconds, decreasing the frequency of needing to [[RENEW (verb)|renew]] your songs.<br />
<br />
;*[[Kai's Triumph Song (1007)]]<br />
:Ranks in this lore increase the group's [[Attack strength|AS]] bonus provided by this song. This increase, unlike the increase for additional songs known, does not come with a corresponding increase in mana cost.<br />
<br />
;*[[Song of Peace (1011)]]<br />
:Ranks in this lore increase the bard's chance to use this song to produce a minor sanctuary effect (when faced with obstacles such as creatures) and increases the sanctuary's resistance to interference.<br />
<br />
;*[[Song of Depression (1015)]]<br />
:Ranks in ML:Telepathy increase the slowing effect and the [[TD]] pushdown of this song. The target suffers an additional second of added roundtime at the following numbers of ranks: 10, 25, 45, 75, 100.<br />
<br />
;*[[Song of Rage (1016)]]<br />
:Ranks in this lore increase the maximum level of rage that can potentially be caused by this song. The increase is one level of rage at 5 ranks, two levels of rage at 15 ranks, three levels of rage at 30 ranks, and four levels of rage at 50 ranks.<br />
<br />
;*[[Song of Tonis (1035)]]<br />
:Ranks of Telepathy increase the duration of this song; the increase is 1 second per rank for the first twenty ranks, and 1 second per two ranks for additional ranks, to a maximum of 60 extra seconds at 100 ranks.<br />
<br />
;*[[Troubadour's Rally (1040)]]<br />
:The effectiveness of this song at removing stuns, immobility and webs is increased by training in this lore. The chance of removal of such effects is normally 90% - 3% per second remaining in the effect's duration, with a minimum of 10%. Ranks of Telepathy add to this chance on a [[summation chart]], seed 1.<br />
<br />
==[[Empath Base]]==<br />
;*[[Empathy (1108)]]<br />
:The effectiveness of this attack spell, as well as its chance to immobilize or instantly kill its target, increases with study in this lore.<br />
<br />
;*[[Empathic Assault (1110)]]<br />
:Training in this lore will provide additional [[CS]]-based attack cycles for this spell at the following thresholds: 5 ranks, 20 ranks, 40 ranks, 65 ranks, and 100 ranks.<br />
<br />
;*[[Empathic Link (1117)]]<br />
:Training in Telepathy increases the base 50% chance to propagate damage between the linked creatures by 2% per seed 1 summation of ranks. It also provides a chance of skill bonus/5 to overload a link and cause electrical damage to all linked creatures.<br />
<br />
;*[[Sympathy (1120)]]<br />
:Training in ML:Telepathy is necessary to affect the undead with this spell. A minimum of half the targeted undead's level in ranks is necessary to have a chance to affect it; having at least the targeted undead's level in ranks will guarantee effectiveness if the warding succeeds.<br />
<br />
==[[Minor Mental]]==<br />
;*[[Soothing Word (1201)]]<br />
:At 25 ranks, the ability to remove existing [[sheer fear]] from a target (and self-cast) is unlocked. In addition, 25 ranks will grant the target immunity to sheer fear for 30 seconds. <br />
<br />
;*[[Glamour (1205)]]<br />
:Training in this lore confers a bonus to the caster's Influence at a rate of +1 base stat for every 10 ranks of lore.<br />
<br />
;*[[Confusion (1211)]]<br />
: Training in this lore will increase the caster's ability to manipulate the target into attacking the target's allies more frequently. Every 20 skill increases the chance to cause the creature to not attack by 1%, to attack other creatures by 1%, and decreases its chance to attack normally by 2% (over their base values of 33%, 33%, and 34%, respectively.)<br />
<br />
;*[[Mind over Body (1213)]]<br />
:Training in this lore will further decrease the stamina activation cost for [[monk]]s and his/her group members. The bonus is a 5% reduction per (skill/10) using seed 3 of the [[summation chart]].<br />
<br />
;*[[Provoke (1235)]]<br />
:Training in this lore will further increase the generation rate for sentient creatures in the area. Base is +2 increased by +1 per 15 ranks.<br />

<br />
===Where do I sign up?===<br />
<br />
Ticketing will be handled via the play.net Box Office. Please see the [[SimuCon_2023#Ticketing|Ticketing]] section for more details.<br />
<br />
===Who organizes SimuCon?===<br />
<br />
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!<br />
<br />
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===<br />
<br />
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2023 Schedule|2023 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.<br />
<br />
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===<br />
<br />
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.<br />
<br />
===What equipment should I bring?===<br />
<br />
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. '''Note:''' It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.<br />
<br />
===Will I need a car?===<br />
<br />
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don't forget to bring cash for a tip!<br />
<br />
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===<br />
<br />
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.<br />
<br />
===What is the weather typically like?===<br />
<br />
Missouri is nicknamed "Misery" for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather<br />
<br />
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===<br />
<br />
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.<br />
<br />
===What should I wear?===<br />
<br />
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.<br />
<br />
===Is there a pool?===<br />
<br />
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.<br />
<br />

==Frequently Asked Questions==<br />
===How much does SimuCon cost?===<br />
Attendance badges cost $40. Please see the [[SimuCon_2023#Ticketing|Ticketing]] section for more details.<br />
<br />
===Where do I sign up?===<br />
<br />
Ticketing will be handled via the play.net Box Office. Please see the [[SimuCon_2023#Ticketing|Ticketing]] section for more details.<br />
<br />
===Who organizes SimuCon?===<br />
<br />
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!<br />
<br />
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===<br />
<br />
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2023 Schedule|2023 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.<br />
<br />
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===<br />
<br />
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.<br />
<br />
===What equipment should I bring?===<br />
<br />
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. '''Note:''' It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.<br />
<br />
===Will I need a car?===<br />
<br />
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don't forget to bring cash for a tip!<br />
<br />
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===<br />
<br />
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.<br />
<br />
===What is the weather typically like?===<br />
<br />
Missouri is nicknamed "Misery" for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather<br />
<br />
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===<br />
<br />
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.<br />
<br />
===What should I wear?===<br />
<br />
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.<br />
<br />
===Is there a pool?===<br />
<br />
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.<br />
<br />

__TOC__<br />
'''Resist Nature''' allows the [[Ranger]] to cast a magical shield that provides resistance to a chosen element (heat, cold, steam, nature, or lightning) equal to 20% + 1% per 4 Blessings ranks (50% maximum at 120 ranks via [[enhancive]]s/[[Ascension]]). The duration of this benefit is 1200 + 60s per Ranger spell rank, but the effect will quickly fade for any member who leaves the Ranger's group. The amount of resistance that can be absorbed by the shield before it fades from the group is equal to 100 + ([[Spiritual Mana Control]] skill / 2) [[#Resistance and Mana Absorb Mechanics |DSW]]. Re-casting the spell will replenish this resistance pool.<br />
<br />
The spell also allows a Ranger to infuse a prepared wearable magic item created by [[Imbue (614)]] with resistance to a chosen element (heat, cold, steam, nature, or lightning). This item confers the elemental resistance to its bearer. Each tier of Resist Nature bestows a 5% resistance to the element, with a maximum of 5 tiers (25%). The affected item will remain [[imbed|imbeddable/imbedded]], and will no longer crumble when its charges are depleted. An item with no charges may also be re-imbedded with a different spell with the use of a [[grot t'kel potion]]. A character may only have one Resist Nature item active at a time.<br />
<br />
;Success Formula<br />
{{math|Ranger Level + 2*WIS bonus + 2*INT bonus + .75*Survival Ranks + MIU ranks + 1.5*Ranger Spell ranks + Harness Power ranks + SMC ranks + SL:B Lore ranks + 20 if outside - Tier Modifier - Previous Resistances Modifier + d100 > 100}}<br />
*''Tier Modifier'' is equal to 100 * the '''target''' tier of the attempt. <br />
*''Previous Resistances Modifier'' is equal to 150 * the number of existing T5 resistances on the item.<br />
<br />
;Interactions<br />
Resistance provided from a Resist Nature magic item will fully stack with the group version of the spell, up to a maximum of 50%. Resistance provided from armor or cloaks will not stack with either version of Resist Nature – only the strongest resistance will apply. The chance for the item to negate damage will occur regardless if it is providing the highest resistance or not, with one exception -- Resist Nature magic items will not provide ''any'' benefits if their bearer is also wearing armor that has resistance granted by the old Resist Nature. It is advised to remove the legacy Resist Nature from your armor if you are also using a Resist Nature magic item.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
;Group version<br />
* {{boldmono|[[INCANT]] 620 ELEMENT}}, where {{mono|ELEMENT}} is the type of elemental damage you wish to protect against (heat/cold/steam/nature/lightning).<br />
<br />
<br />
See the [[#Process|Process]] section below for more detailed usage when using Resist Nature to grant elemental resistance to an imbued item. <br />
<br />
== Mana Control Benefits == <br />
Each rank of training in [[Spiritual Mana Control]] contributes directly to the item cast success formula noted above. It also factors into the amount of resistance absorbed by the shield provided by the group spell version, the resolution of which uses {{math|skill/2}} (not ranks). <br />
<br />
== Lore Benefits ==<br />
Each rank of training in [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] contributes directly to the item cast success formula noted above, as well as increasing the resistance applied by the group spell version at a rate of 1% per 4 ranks. <br />
:{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"<br />
!align="right"|Spiritual Lore, Blessings ranks||0||20||40||60||80||100||120<br />
|-<br />
|align="right"|Total resistance applied<br>(group spell version)||20||25||30||35||40||45||50<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Resistance and Mana Absorb Mechanics ==<br />
First, a definition of Damage Severity Weighting (DSW): This is a term that describes how critical damage is dealt throughout GemStone. Simply put, it’s the critical ranking system drawn out to 5 points per crit rank (rank 0-9 mapping to ~0-50 DSW). The Combat Effectiveness Rating (CER) numbers in use with [[Weighting]] and [[Padding]] services are on the same scale.<br />
<br />
When the player is struck by damage of the resistant type and the magic item is imbedded with a spell, it absorbs an amount of mana equal to the DSW resisted (i.e. up to 25% of the incoming DSW). Absorbed mana will convert to spell charges based on the cost of the imbedded spell, not to exceed the maximum mana capacity of the item.<br />
<br />
Additionally, there is a percentage chance that the damage will be entirely negated, equal to the tier of the resistance (maximum base of 5%). The negation chance is further increased by any additional resistances that have been applied to the item equal to resistance tier / 2.<br />
<br />
== Sources of Elemental Damage ==<br />
Resist Nature items will reduce damage inflicted by attacks of its element type. What follows is a short list of examples where damage can be mitigated by an appropriate Resist Nature item. This list is not intended to be comprehensive; you can generally expect a Resist Nature item to universally mitigate damage of its associated type regardless of source. <br />
<br />
;Nature<br />
*Offensive Ranger spells (Wild Entropy, Sun Burst, Moonbeam, Spike Thorn, Nature's Fury (all damage types))<br />
*[[Sandstorm]]<br />
<br />
;Fire<br />
*Fire/heat flares (from weapons/armor)<br />
*Fire-based bolt and ball spells (e.g. Minor Fire, Major Fire, Fire Spirit) <br />
*Other fire-based spells and effects (e.g Immolation, Weapon Fire, Earthen Fury, Dark Catalyst)<br />
*Fire-based creature attacks (e.g. Lava Golem hurl attacks, Fire Mage death throes)<br />
<br />
;Cold<br />
*Cold/ice flares (from weapons/armor)<br />
*cold- and ice-based bolt and ball spells (e.g. Major Cold, Minor Cold)<br />
*Other cold-based spells and effects (e.g. Major E-wave (ice), Earthen Fury (cold))<br />
*Environmental effects (Pinefar/Icemule Trace/Gossamer Valley/Hinterwilds)<br />
<br />
;Steam: <br />
*Steam flares (from weapons/armor)<br />
*steam-based bolt spells (e.g. Minor Steam)<br />
*Steam-based environmental effects (e.g. Greymist area effect, damage from the columns in Luukos' Temple)<br />
<br />
;Lightning: <br />
*Lightning flares (from weapons/armor)<br />
*Lightning-based bolt and ball spells (e.g. Minor Shock, Major Shock)<br />
*Call Lightning<br />
<br />
== Process == <br />
As the Ranger gains experience, they also earn Nature's Grace points at a 1:1 rate. A total of 50k Nature's Grace can be earned per week, banking up to an overall total of 200k. Nature's Grace points can be spent to attempt to apply resistance to an Imbued magic item, at a cost of 50k/75k/100k/125k/150k based on how many tiers of the spell are currently applied.<br />
<br />
First, the Ranger must obtain a resistance potion, as outlined in the section on potions below. The Ranger may then {{boldmono|[[CAST]]}} Resist Nature at the magic item to determine the number of potions needed, then {{boldmono|[[POUR]]}} the potion on the item to prepare it. At this point they may {{boldmono|[[CAST]]}} Resist Nature at the item for a difficulty check and finally {{boldmono|[[CHANNEL]]}} the spell at the item to attempt to apply the resistance.<br />
<br />
The number of doses of the potion required is equal to the tier of the current attempt. If successful, the item then gains a permanent 5% resistance to the chosen element, with a maximum of 25% resistance after 5 successful tiers. A failure will result in a loss of 10% of the points of Nature’s Grace required for the attempt. <br />
<br />
An item that has reached tier 5 resistance may have another resistance added, but the difficulty of the project will increase by a flat amount per previous resistance.<br />
<br />
Using a larkspur potion on an item affected by Resist Nature will remove the most recent tier applied. If only multiple tier 5 resistances remain, the user will be able to choose which to degrade by {{boldmono|[[TURN]]ing}} the potion.<br />
<br />
=== Potions ===<br />
Potions specific to each resistance type can be made by dropping off forageable plants corresponding to the desired damage resistance at the local herbalist NPC found in weathered shacks throughout the world. Each dose of a resistance potion requires five of the same plant. The cost of brewing a potion is 50,000 silver per dose, and the potions do not expire.<br />

== Titles ==<br />
The following post-name [[Title system | titles]] are available under the SKILL category:<br />
*Grace of Nature - Unlocked for Rangers who have successfully spent 50 full weeks' worth of resources on Resist Nature.<br />
*Arboreal Arcanist - Unlocked for Rangers who have successfully cast a fifth tier 5 resistance on a Resist Nature item.<br />
<br />
== Additional Information ==<br />
;Legacy Armor Resistance<br />
Armor currently affected by temporary Resist Nature resistance will continue to function, but their charges will be depleted based on the amount of DSW resisted, rather than per instance. For example, if an incoming instance of fire damage with DSW 20 (rank 4 crit) strikes armor with 60% heat resistance, it will lose 20 * .60 = 12 Resistance Life while reducing the damage to DSW 8 (rank 1 crit).<br />
<br />
;Capacity Re-Calculation<br />
An item made resistant by 620 may have its mana capacity re-calculated based on the Ranger’s current training by {{boldmono|[[CHANNEL]]ing}} Imbue (614) at it. Only the Ranger who originally created the item is eligible for this renewal, and the item must be depleted of charges before undergoing the process. The cost of renewal is 25,000 Nature’s Grace.<br />
<br />
;Lich Casting<br />
If using Lich, you can specify the element you wish to cast by setting the UserVar <code>resist_element</code> via the syntax: <code>;vars set resist_element=<ELEMENT></code>. Elements supported are Nature, Lightning, Steam, Fire, Heat, Ice, and Cold.<br />

'''Resist Nature''' allows the [[Ranger]] to cast a magical shield that provides resistance to a chosen element (heat, cold, steam, nature, or lightning) equal to 20% + 1% per 4 Blessings ranks (50% maximum at 120 ranks via [[enhancive]]s/[[Ascension]]). The duration of this benefit is 1200 + 60s per Ranger spell rank, but the effect will quickly fade for any member who leaves the Ranger's group. The amount of resistance that can be absorbed by the shield before it fades from the group is equal to 100 + ([[Spiritual Mana Control]] skill / 2) [[#Resistance and Mana Absorb Mechanics |DSW]]. Re-casting the spell will replenish this resistance pool.<br />
<br />
The spell also allows a Ranger to infuse a prepared wearable magic item created by [[Imbue (614)]] with resistance to a chosen element (heat, cold, steam, nature, or lightning). This item confers the elemental resistance to its bearer. Each tier of Resist Nature bestows a 5% resistance to the element, with a maximum of 5 tiers (25%). The affected item will remain [[imbed|imbeddable/imbedded]], and will no longer crumble when its charges are depleted. An item with no charges may also be re-imbedded with a different spell with the use of a [[grot t'kel potion]]. A character may only have one Resist Nature item active at a time.<br />

== Resistance and Mana Absorb Mechanics ==<br />
First, a definition of Damage Severity Weighting (DSW): This is a term that describes how critical damage is dealt throughout GemStone. Simply put, it’s the critical ranking system drawn out to 5 points per crit rank (rank 0-9 mapping to ~0-50 DSW). The Combat Effectiveness Rating (CER) numbers in use with [[Weighting]] and [[Padding]] services are on the same scale.<br />
<br />
When the player is struck by damage of the resistant type and the magic item is imbedded with a spell, it absorbs an amount of mana equal to the DSW resisted (i.e. up to 25% of the incoming DSW). Absorbed mana will convert to spell charges based on the cost of the imbedded spell, not to exceed the maximum mana capacity of the item.<br />
<br />
Additionally, there is a percentage chance that the damage will be entirely negated, equal to the tier of the resistance (maximum base of 5%). The negation chance is further increased by any additional resistances that have been applied to the item equal to resistance tier / 2.<br />

== Process == <br />
As the Ranger gains experience, they also earn Nature's Grace points at a 1:1 rate. A total of 50k Nature's Grace can be earned per week, banking up to an overall total of 200k. Nature's Grace points can be spent to attempt to apply resistance to an Imbued magic item, at a cost of 50k/75k/100k/125k/150k based on how many tiers of the spell are currently applied.<br />
<br />
First, the Ranger must obtain a resistance potion, as outlined in the section on potions below. The Ranger may then {{boldmono|[[CAST]]}} Resist Nature at the magic item to receive a difficulty check, then {{boldmono|[[POUR]]}} the potion on the item to prepare it, and finally {{boldmono|[[CHANNEL]]}} the spell at the item to attempt to apply the resistance.<br />
<br />
The number of doses of the potion required is equal to the tier of the current attempt. If successful, the item then gains a permanent 5% resistance to the chosen element, with a maximum of 25% resistance after 5 successful tiers. A failure will result in a loss of 10% of the points of Nature’s Grace required for the attempt. <br />
<br />
An item that has reached tier 5 resistance may have another resistance added, but the difficulty of the project will increase by a flat amount per previous resistance.<br />
<br />
Using a larkspur potion on an item affected by Resist Nature will remove the most recent tier applied. If only multiple tier 5 resistances remain, the user will be able to choose which to degrade by {{boldmono|[[TURN]]ing}} the potion.<br />
<br />
=== Potions ===<br />
Potions specific to each resistance type can be made by dropping off forageable plants corresponding to the desired damage resistance at the local herbalist NPC found in weathered shacks throughout the world. Each dose of a resistance potion requires five of the same plant. The cost of brewing a potion is 50,000 silver per dose, and the potions do not expire.<br />

NOTE: You must bring a resistance up entirely to T5 before adding a new resistance.<br />
<br />
The chance to negate is equal to the current resistance Tier (1-5) that matches the damage type you are receiving, plus half of other Tiers present on your item.<br />
<br />
== Suffusion ==<br />
Nature’s Grace may be {{boldmono|[[SUFFUSE]]d}} at a rate of 1 point of energy per 1000 Nature's Grace. Each point of suffused energy used in a Resist Nature infusion attempt is equivalent to a +1 bonus.<br />
<br />
== Titles ==<br />
The following post-name [[Title system | titles]] are available under the SKILL category:<br />
*Grace of Nature - Unlocked for Rangers who have successfully spent 50 full weeks' worth of resources on Resist Nature.<br />
*Arboreal Arcanist - Unlocked for Rangers who have successfully cast a fifth tier 5 resistance on a Resist Nature item.<br />
<br />
== Additional Information ==<br />
;Legacy Armor Resistance<br />
Armor currently affected by temporary Resist Nature resistance will continue to function, but their charges will be depleted based on the amount of DSW resisted, rather than per instance. For example, if an incoming instance of fire damage with DSW 20 (rank 4 crit) strikes armor with 60% heat resistance, it will lose 20 * .60 = 12 Resistance Life while reducing the damage to DSW 8 (rank 1 crit).<br />
<br />
;Capacity Re-Calculation<br />
An item made resistant by 620 may have its mana capacity re-calculated based on the Ranger’s current training by {{boldmono|[[CHANNEL]]ing}} Imbue (614) at it. Only the Ranger who originally created the item is eligible for this renewal, and the item must be depleted of charges before undergoing the process. The cost of renewal is 25,000 Nature’s Grace.<br />

==Frequently Asked Questions==<br />
===How much does SimuCon cost?===<br />
<br />
Cost and sign-up information will be available soon.<br />
<br />
===Where do I sign up?===<br />
Sign-up is usually initiated by the GM organizing SimuCon and details are released closer to the event.<br />
<br />
===Who organizes SimuCon?===<br />
<br />
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!<br />
<br />
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===<br />
<br />
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.<br />
<br />
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===<br />
<br />
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.<br />
<br />
===What equipment should I bring?===<br />
<br />
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. '''Note:''' It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.<br />
<br />
===Will I need a car?===<br />
<br />
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don't forget to bring cash for a tip!<br />
<br />
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===<br />
<br />
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.<br />
<br />
===What is the weather typically like?===<br />
<br />
Missouri is nicknamed "Misery" for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather<br />
<br />
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===<br />
<br />
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.<br />
<br />
===What should I wear?===<br />
<br />
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.<br />
<br />
===Is there a pool?===<br />
<br />
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.<br />
<br />

==Frequently Asked Questions==<br />
===How much does SimuCon cost?===<br />
<br />
Cost and sign-up information will be available soon.<br />
<br />
===Where do I sign up?===<br />
Sign-up is usually initiated by the GM organizing SimuCon and details are released closer to the event.<br />
<br />
===Who organizes SimuCon?===<br />
<br />
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!<br />
<br />
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===<br />
<br />
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.<br />
<br />
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===<br />
<br />
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.<br />
<br />
===What equipment should I bring?===<br />
<br />
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. '''Note:''' It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.<br />
<br />
===Will I need a car?===<br />
<br />
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don't forget to bring cash for a tip!<br />
<br />
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===<br />
<br />
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.<br />
<br />
===What is the weather typically like?===<br />
<br />
Missouri is nicknamed "Misery" for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather<br />
<br />
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===<br />
<br />
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.<br />
<br />
===What should I wear?===<br />
<br />
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.<br />
<br />
===Is there a pool?===<br />
<br />
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.<br />

==Frequently Asked Questions==<br />
===How much does SimuCon cost?===<br />
<br />
Cost and sign-up information will be available soon.<br />
<br />
===Where do I sign up?===<br />
Sign-up is usually initiated by the GM organizing SimuCon and details are released closer to the event.<br />
<br />
===Who organizes SimuCon?===<br />
<br />
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!<br />
<br />
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===<br />
<br />
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.<br />
<br />
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===<br />
<br />
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.<br />
<br />
===What equipment should I bring?===<br />
<br />
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. '''Note:''' It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.<br />
<br />
===Will I need a car?===<br />
<br />
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don't forget to bring cash for a tip!<br />
<br />
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===<br />
<br />
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.<br />
<br />
===What is the weather typically like?===<br />
<br />
Missouri is nicknamed "Misery" for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather<br />
<br />
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===<br />
<br />
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.<br />
<br />
===What should I wear?===<br />
<br />
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.<br />
<br />
===Is there a pool?===<br />
<br />
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.<br />

==Frequently Asked Questions==<br />
===How much does SimuCon cost?===<br />
<br />
Cost and sign-up information will be available soon.<br />
<br />
===Where do I sign up?===<br />
Sign-up is usually initiated by the GM organizing SimuCon and details are released closer to the event.<br />
<br />
===Who organizes SimuCon?===<br />
<br />
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!<br />
<br />
===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===<br />
<br />
SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2022 Schedule|2022 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.<br />
<br />
===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===<br />
<br />
SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.<br />
<br />
===What equipment should I bring?===<br />
<br />
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. '''Note:''' It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.<br />
<br />
===Will I need a car?===<br />
<br />
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don't forget to bring cash for a tip!<br />
<br />
===Is SimuCon family friendly?===<br />
<br />
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.<br />
<br />
===What is the weather typically like?===<br />
<br />
Missouri is nicknamed "Misery" for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather<br />
<br />
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===<br />
<br />
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.<br />
<br />
===What should I wear?===<br />
<br />
SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.<br />
<br />
===Is there a pool?===<br />
<br />
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official SimuCon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any!

<br />
The vesperti stands roughly six feet tall, with coarse black fur covering his willowy frame. A veined membrane of skin extends from his ankle up to his wrists, edges scalloped like those of a bat's wings. Capping off the wings are taloned hands and feet, the long, tapered digits bearing glossy black claws. Intense eyes stare out from beneath a mane of tousled hair, looking far too sentient for any measure of comfort.<br />
<br />
==Hunting strategies==<br />
{{addmetext}}<br />
==Other information==<br />
'''Vesperti''' are a cross between a bat and an elf, created by followers of the [[Arkati]], [[Fash'lo'nae]]. "Vesperti" is probably derived from the Latin word "[https://www.online-latin-dictionary.com/latin-english-dictionary.php?lemma=VESPERTILIO100 vespertilio]," which means "bat." "Vespertilio," in its turn, is [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vesper#Latin derived from] the Latin word "vesper," meaning "evening" or "the West."<br />
<br />
Vesperti can be found in the Deep Woods in the [[Foggy Valley]] near [[Solhaven]]. The [[Maleskari#Behind the Scenes|same "vision"]] is repeated throughout the area in general.<br />
<br />
Vesperti use three weapons -- a whip, a flail, and a scimitar with a shield. In the hands of the vesperti, any weapon drains mana from the character or creature struck, which is a [[warding]] roll. The mana drain takes place even in rooms that do not allow the use of any magic, which are abundant in the Deep Woods.<br />
<br />
Vesperti are unaffected by most magic. They will cast Curse which will cause you to drop what is in your hands (weapons, shields) and scratch. They will pick up dropped items.<br />
<br />
<pre{{log2|margin-right=325px}}><br />
A vesperti points a clawed finger at you!<br />
CS: +209 - TD: +171 + CvA: -2 + d100: +70 - -5 == +111<br />
Warding failed!<br />
A thread of swirling gray magic issues forth from the vesperti toward you. It coils itself around your body, whirling malevolently before disappearing within you. You shiver slightly as an invisible rash covers your body! A feeling of defenselessness washes over you!<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
When they kill you they laugh insanely, referencing their original lore in the ruined temple:<br />
<pre{{log2|margin-right=325px}}><br />
The vesperti spreads her arms wide and throws her head back, shrilling a high-pitched howl of triumph!<br />
<br />
A vesperti moves towards you then jumps back, laughing maniacally.<br />
<br />
A vesperti snarls, "Die will we not, not to man, not to priest, not to any."<br />
<br />
A vesperti sneers down at you, then rolls you over with her foot.<br />
</pre><br />

==Frequently Asked Questions==<br />
===How much does Simucon cost?===<br />
<br />
Simucon is free! However, Simucon operates entirely on donations from attendees via the annual [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]]. This campaign is optional, but it allows attendees to select from several fun perks that may enhance their Simucon experience.<br />
<br />
===Where do I sign up?===<br />
By now you should have received an email from the [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]] asking you for additional registration details. If you did not receive this email, please reach out to GM Palvella.<br />
<br />
If you did not select an Indiegogo perk, you do not need to complete the registration form. You can register for Simucon on-site when you arrive.<br />
<br />
===Who organizes Simucon?===<br />
<br />
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!<br />
<br />
===What is it like to attend a Simucon?===<br />
<br />
Simucon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2019 Schedule|2019 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.<br />
<br />
===How many people attend Simucon and when do they show up?===<br />
<br />
Simucon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.<br />
<br />
===What equipment should I bring?===<br />
<br />
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. '''Note:''' It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.<br />
<br />
===Will I need a car?===<br />
<br />
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don't forget to bring cash for a tip!<br />
<br />
===Is Simucon family friendly?===<br />
<br />
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.<br />
<br />
===What is the weather typically like?===<br />
<br />
Missouri is nicknamed "Misery" for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather<br />
<br />
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===<br />
<br />
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. Simucon is strictly BYOB.<br />
<br />
===What should I wear?===<br />
<br />
Family friendly costumes are encouraged, and there is often a costume event included in the schedule. In general, however, attendees come in casual / comfortable attire.<br />
<br />
===Is there a pool?===<br />
<br />
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official Simucon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages, and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.<br />

==Frequently Asked Questions==<br />
===How much does Simucon cost?===<br />
<br />
Simucon is free! However, Simucon operates entirely on donations from attendees via the annual [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]]. This campaign is optional, but it allows attendees to select from several fun perks that may enhance their Simucon experience.<br />
<br />
===Where do I sign up?===<br />
By now you should have received an email from the [[#Indiegogo Campaign|Indiegogo Campaign]] asking you for additional registration details. If you did not receive this email, please reach out to GM Palvella.<br />
<br />
If you did not select an Indiegogo perk, you do not need to complete the registration form. You can register for Simucon on-site when you arrive.<br />
<br />
===Who organizes Simucon?===<br />
<br />
Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!<br />
<br />
===What is it like to attend a Simucon?===<br />
<br />
Simucon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2019 Schedule|2019 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.<br />
<br />
===How many people attend Simucon and when do they show up?===<br />
<br />
Simucon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.<br />
<br />
===What equipment should I bring?===<br />
<br />
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. '''Note:''' It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.<br />
<br />
===Will I need a car?===<br />
<br />
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don't forget to bring cash for a tip!<br />
<br />
===Is Simucon family friendly?===<br />
<br />
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.<br />
<br />
===What is the weather typically like?===<br />
<br />
Missouri is nicknamed "Misery" for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather<br />
<br />
===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===<br />
<br />
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. Simucon is strictly BYOB.<br />
<br />
===What should I wear?===<br />
<br />
Family friendly costumes are encouraged, and there is often a costume event included in the schedule. In general, however, attendees come in casual / comfortable attire.<br />
<br />
===Is there a pool?===<br />
<br />
YES! Pack your bathing suits because the official Simucon hotel has an outdoor pool! There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages, and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any! It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.<br />

In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.<br />
<br />
* '''How many people attend Simucon and when do they show up?'''<br />
<br />
Simucon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.<br />
<br />
* '''What equipment should I bring?'''<br />
<br />
Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. '''Note:''' It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.<br />
<br />
* '''Will I need a car?'''<br />
<br />
Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don't forget to bring cash for a tip!<br />
<br />
* '''Is Simucon family friendly?'''<br />
<br />
In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.<br />
<br />
* '''What is the weather typically like?'''<br />
<br />
Missouri is nicknamed "Misery" for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather<br />
<br />
* '''Do I need to bring food or beverages?'''<br />
<br />
Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. Simucon is strictly BYOB.<br />
<br />
* '''What should I wear?'''<br />
<br />
Family friendly costumes are encouraged, and there is often a costume event included in the schedule. The official hotel also offers a swimming pool, and it is recommended that you bring a bathing suit. In general, however, attendees come in casual / comfortable attire.<br />

Trails of fresh rat droppings lead between a sigil-incised display case and a rune-covered wooden crate. You also see a dust-covered note, a dilapidated wooden shelf with some stuff on it, a wave-painted brick door and a small round table haphazardously draped with square cloths with some stuff on it.<br />

[[Category:SimuCon]]</div>SANDERSCHhttps://gswiki.play.net/index.php?title=Experience_pool&diff=112920Experience pool2019-01-08T05:11:42Z<p>SANDERSCH: </p>
<hr />
<div><section begin=Exp page />'''Experience pools''' are the "buckets" where [[experience]] is stored to be absorbed incrementally or at a specific time. As experience is absorbed from the bucket(s), [[character]]s gain [[level]]s. Absorbed experience is for all intents and purposes permanent.<br />
<noinclude>{{TOC limit|3}}</noinclude><br />
<noinclude>==Field Experience==<br />
</noinclude><includeonly>===Field Experience===</includeonly><br />
When a character does something that awards experience, an amount of experience is placed into a '''field experience pool''' of unprocessed experience. This pool has a finite size that varies by character, and the amount of experience that goes into this pool is dependent not only on the task that one has just completed, but also the degree to which that pool is filled. <br />
<br />
Any unabsorbed field experience is lost during the process of [[death]] and [[Raise Dead (318)|resurrection]], unless a [[Chrism]] is used.<br />
<br />
The metaphor of short term vs. long term memory is fairly apt in describing the difference between the two types of experience (unabsorbed vs. absorbed).<br />
<br />
<noinclude>===Size of Pool===<br />
</noinclude><includeonly>====Size of Pool====</includeonly><br />
The size of a character's pool for unprocessed experience is determined by its [[DIS]] and [[LOG]] stats. The formula is:<br />
<br />
{{Equation box|'''Field Experience Pool {{=}} 800 + LOG + DIS'''}}<br />
<br />
So a character with a LOG and DIS stats of 100 would be able to hold 1000 (800 + 100 + 100) experience in their pool while one with LOG and DIS stats of 75 each would be able to hold 950 (800 + 75 + 75).<br />
<br />
<noinclude>===Mind Status===<br />
</noinclude><includeonly>====Mind Status====</includeonly><br />
Thresholds for mind-status changes are here as a proportion of (experience in field exp pool)/(pool capacity).<br />
<br />
:{|{{prettytable}}<br />
|- style="background:lightblue"<br />
!Phrase||Threshold<br />
|-<br />
|Completely saturated<br />
|style="text-align:center"|> 1.0<br />
|-<br />
|Must rest<br />
|style="text-align:center"|0.90<br />
|-<br />
|Numbed<br />
|style="text-align:center"|0.75<br />
|-<br />
|Becoming numbed<br />
|style="text-align:center"|0.62<br />
|-<br />
|Muddled<br />
|style="text-align:center"|0.5<br />
|-<br />
|Clear<br />
|style="text-align:center"|0.25<br />
|-<br />
|Fresh and clear<br />
|style="text-align:center"|> 0.0<br />
|-<br />
|Clear as a bell<br />
|style="text-align:center"|0.0<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Therefore, a character with a capacity of 1000 will hit "must rest" above 900 unabsorbed experience.<br />
<noinclude>{{top}}<br />
===Gaining Field Experience===<br />
</noinclude><includeonly>====Gaining Field Experience====</includeonly><br />
There are a variety of ways to add to the field experience pool, <noinclude>many</noinclude><includeonly>only one</includeonly> of which will be mentioned here.<br />
<br />
<noinclude>====Hunting====<br />
</noinclude><includeonly>=====Hunting=====</includeonly><br />
The most common way of gaining experience is hunting. When hunting, experience is gained when a creature one has significantly participated in killing is [[LOOT (verb)|LOOTed]], SEARCHed, or decays on its own. <br />
<br />
The amount of experience gained by a character is based on the differential between their own level and the level of the creature killed, as shown here:<br />
<br />
:{| {{prettytable}}<br />
|-style="background:lightblue"<br />
!Creature Level||Experience Gain<br />
|-<br />
|10 or more below character<br />
|no experience<br />
|-<br />
|1-9 below character<br />
|100 - 10x level difference<br />
|-<br />
|same as character<br />
|100 experience<br />
|-<br />
|1-4 above character<br />
|100 + 10x level difference<br />
|-<br />
|5 or more above character<br />
|150 experience<br />
|}<br />
<br />
A character continues to gain experience in this way until the pool is filled to its limit, which is determined as described above (800-1000). Continued experience-gaining activities will not add to this pool, though as experience is absorbed, it can obviously be replenished.<br />
<br />
Multiple characters can gain experience from killing the same creature, and they need not be present when the creature actually dies (though the character must still be logged in).<br />
<noinclude><br />
====Guilds====<br />
When a character is learning an Artisan's Guild skill, such as [[fletching]], [[forging]], or [[cobbling]], it earns experience each time a rank is gained in that skill. This rate is based on the number of ranks of the skill the character already has, as well as other skills known. More detailed information is available on the [[Artisan Guild]] page.<br />
<br />
The same is true for the [[profession guild]]s.<br />
<br />
Experience is also be awarded by completing [[Adventurer's Guild]] tasks.<br />
<br />
====Profession-Specific Methods====<br />
<br />
[[Empath]]s can gain experience by transferring wounds from others to themselves. There is no experience granted for transferring blood while the patient is still bleeding, transferring from another empath, or if the wounds are self-inflicted.<br />
<br />
[[Cleric]]s and [[paladin]]s can gain experience by raising others from the dead.<br />
<br />
[[Wizard]]s can gain experience when casting [[Enchant Item (925)]] successfully, with the amount being variable based on the item's status within the enchanting process, and the level of enchantment. They can also gain a nominal amount of experience via [[Charge Item (517)]]<br />
<br />
[[Bard]]s can gain experience when [[loresinging]], under certain circumstances.<br />
<br />
[[Sorcerer]]s can gain experience when casting [[Ensorcell (735)]] successfully, or [[Scroll Infusion (714)|infusing a scroll]].<br />
<br />
====Other Methods====<br />
All professions can gain experience when successfully disarming and unlocking treasure boxes (most easily trained by [[rogue]]s). A much smaller amount of experience is granted when successfully using [[Unlock (407)]] and [[Disarm (408)]] on a treasure system box.<br />
<br />
Throwing trash away will gain one experience point (in most cases).<br />
<br />
====Exceptions====<br />
These rates that are described in the above sections are all ideal rates, and based on the character gaining the experience with a fairly empty unabsorbed pool. As the amount of experience in the unabsorbed pool increases, the efficiency of adding to it decreases. For example, if one were to kill 2 rats at level 1, one would expect to (and would gain) 200 experience. However, if one kills 8 rats, one would add less than 800 experience to the pool. The precise rate of accrual decline is:<br />
<br />
{{Equation box|'''Accrual Decline Rate {{=}} N * (1 - .05 * &lfloor;InBucket/100&rfloor;)'''}}<br />
::Where ''N'' = nominal amount, ''InBucket'' = amount in bucket, and the final number is truncated<br />
<br />
The [[Adventurer's Guild|bounty system]] is another exception in that one is able to greatly exceed a character's unabsorbed pool capacity. Also, the awards of experience from the bounty system are not subject to the diminishing returns effect described above. However, once the pool is filled, any excess amount added by bounty system reward is divided into two halves. Half is absorbed immediately (and is not subject to any multipliers) and the other half is added to the pool, even though this will be above the normal capacity.<br />
{{top}}<br />
===Absorbing Field Experience===<br />
</noinclude><includeonly>====Absorbing Field Experience====</includeonly><br />
Experience absorption is affected by a number of factors, including one's physical location in the game, one's status with regard to a group, and even health.<br />
<br />
<noinclude>====On-node====<br />
</noinclude><includeonly>=====On-node=====</includeonly><br />
* Base rate - when on a [[node]] or in town, a character will absorb an additional (Logic Bonus/5) experience per [[pulse]]<br />
* Pool size - for every 200 unabsorbed exp in the field experience pool, add an additional experience point per pulse<br />
* [[Group]] - being joined to another character will add an additional point per pulse<br />
* [[Super Node]] - being on a Super Node will add an additional point per pulse<br />
<br />
<noinclude>====In Town Off-node====<br />
</noinclude><includeonly>=====In Town Off-node=====</includeonly><br />
* Base rate - a number dictated by LOG stat, usually a few lower than the on-node base rate<br />
* Pool size - for every 200 unabsorbed exp in the field experience pool, add an additional experience point per pulse<br />
* Group - being joined to another character will add an additional point per pulse<br />
<br />
<noinclude>====Other Areas====<br />
</noinclude><includeonly>=====Other Areas=====</includeonly><br />
* Base rate - characters will absorb an extra (Logic Bonus/7) per pulse<br />
* Pool size - for every 200 unabsorbed exp in the field experience pool, add an additional experience point per pulse<br />
* Group - being joined to another character will add an additional point per pulse<br />
* [[Weapon]]s - carrying a weapon or shield in hand(s) decreases the rate of experience absorption<br />
<br />
The "other" rooms are normally out of town, though strangely, some rooms (such as the courtyard of the [[Warrior Guild]] in [[Wehnimer's Landing]]) that are in towns count as if they were out of town.<br />
<br />
<noinclude>====Other Factors====<br />
</noinclude><includeonly>=====Other Factors=====</includeonly><br />
* Injuries - for major head injuries or nerve damage, the rate of experience absorption is severely diminished<br />
* Death's sting - if one has [[decay]]ed or suffered a [[spirit death]] recently, then only a fraction of the experience is absorbed from the field experience pool<br />
* There is no 40 experience per pulse hard cap (which was previously stated here). It is possible to gain 42 experience (or perhaps more) per pulse while saturated (before [[Gift of Lumnis]] or [[RPA|other experience multipliers]] are taken into consideration).<br />
<noinclude><br />
<br />
==Long-term Experience==<br />
</noinclude><includeonly>===Long-term Experience===</includeonly><br />
The '''long-term experience pool''' was introduced in 2016. Experience absorbed from the long-term pool is not increased by roleplaying awards, Gift of Lumnis, or other similar boosts. Experience in the long-term pool is normally absorbed at a rate of 250 experience points per day, but has no cap on the number of points that it can hold. Every night at midnight, characters with long-term experience stored will get one 250 exp pulse (they do not have to be online to get it). <br />
<br />
Aside from the daily 250 experience point absorption, characters can also absorb long-term experience via continuing to absorb experience after the weekly Gift of Lumnis has expired. For every ten (10) points of field experience absorbed while outside of the Gift of Lumnis period, a character will also absorb one (1) point of long-term experience. That experience is deducted from the pool immediately.<br />
<br />
This pool can be added to through <includeonly>[[long-term experience boost|</includeonly>Long-Term Experience Boosts<includeonly>]]</includeonly> or when being [[TRANSFER (verb)|healed]] by an empath.<section end=Exp page /><br />
<br />
===Long-term Experience Boost===<br />
<section begin=LTE boost />'''Long-term Experience Boosts''' can be earned by characters <includeonly>[[</includeonly>level<includeonly>]]</includeonly> 20 and up on paid accounts only after they have killed an experience-granting [[creature]] (no more than nine levels lower than the character). Using this boost immediately deducts 500 experience points from the <includeonly>[[</includeonly>field experience pool<includeonly>]]</includeonly> and adds 250 experience points to the long-term experience pool. <br />
<br />
Qualifying characters can earn up to two (2) long-term experience boosts per day via random drops upon [[LOOT]]ing creatures that they are eligible to earn experience from. These drops are weighted to occur within the first 50 LOOT drops per character per day. <br />
<br />
Even if the character is not logged in every day to hunt, it can still earn a lesser number of long-term boosts. A free "away" boost is granted upon the next login once every three (3) days that the characters does not earn a long-term boost (the days need not be consecutive).<section end=LTE boost /><br />

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

Your locker is currently holding 19 items out of a maximum of 80.<br />

You place the traveller's cloak in the locker, and it quickly disappears.<br />

===Process===<br />
<pre{{log2}}><br />
>ask clerk about shipping<br />
The young clerk smiles sunnily at you, "Moving, are we? How nice!" she says. The young clerk consults somes files, running a delicate finger down each page as she reads.<br />
<br />
The young clerk says to you, "Would you like us to ship your locker for you?"<br />
<br />
The young clerk smiles at you, waiting patiently for your answer.<br />
><br />
The young clerk smiles and says, "If you'd like your locker moved, just ASK me. I know all ABOUT shipping."<br />
>"Yes<br />
You say, "Yes."<br />
The young clerk smiles brightly. "Very good, <Player>! We offer shipping services to and from Wehnimer's Landing, Teras Isle, Icemule Trace, Solhaven, River's Rest, Ta'Illistim, Zul Logoth and Ta'Vaalor and Four Winds Isle. From which town would you like your locker shipped?"<br />
<br />
The young clerk waits attentively for your answer.<br />
>"Wehnimer's Landing<br />
You say, "Wehnimer's Landing."<br />
The young clerk smiles. "Ah, you're planning on staying a while. Now, <Player>, we're going to ship that locker from Wehnimer's Landing, but what locker did you want to exchange it with? Just SAY the name of the town!"<br />
><br />
The young clerk smiles and says, "If you'd like your locker moved, just ASK me. I know all ABOUT shipping."<br />
>"Four Winds Isle<br />
You say, "Four Winds Isle."<br />
The young clerk smiles. "Ah, hrmn, alrighty. Now, <Player>, we're going to ship that locker to Mist Harbor. Did you want the standard rate, express rate, or immediate rate? Go ahead and just SAY STANDARD, EXPRESS, or IMMEDIATE."<br />
>"IMMEDIATE<br />
You say, "IMMEDIATE."<br />
The young clerk nods and jots something down. "Okay, it's done! Immediate rate locker shipping from Wehnimer's Landing to Mist Harbor."<br />
You hand the young clerk 5,000 silvers.<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==Locker Manifest==<br />
[[Premium subscription|Premium members]] automatically gain access to locker manifests through the {{boldmono|LOCKER}} verb (see below) or through a physical locker manifest which can be obtained in the [[Mist Harbor]] bank, east from the teller.<br />
<br />
Access to {{boldmono|LOCKER MANIFEST}} can be purchased by non-Premium players in the [[SimuCoin]]s Store for 25 SCs.<br />
<br />
==LOCKER (verb)==<br />
The LOCKER verb can be used to access manifests and runners. [[standard subscription|Standard subscribers]] may gain access the manifest function through the [[Simucoin]] Store for 25 simucoins. [[premium subscription|Premium]] and Standard subscribers may also purchase access to the Locker Runner system for 300 simucoins for either 30 days of unlimited access or 60 uses over an unlimited time. The Locker Runner function will only work in places where the [[Justice]] system applies (most outdoor places in towns).<br />
<br />
<pre{{log2}}><br />
>locker<br />
<br />
Usage:<br />
LOCKER INFO - View information on the status of your locker(s).<br />
LOCKER MANIFEST [TOWN] - View the contents of your locker.<br />
LOCKER GET [MANIFESTID#] - Retrieve an item from your locker while in town. To specify the item, use the item id number from LOCKER MANIFEST.<br />
LOCKER SEND [ITEM] - Send a held item to your locker while in town.<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==Troubleshooting==<br />
;I downgraded from premium! What happens to my lockers?<br />
If you downgrade from Premium, all of your lockers are going to consolidate into one and you won't be able to leave until you remove enough items to be able to close your locker. Either plan ahead and get rid of things before you downgrade, or bring enough containers to haul things away afterward.<br />
<br />
;I put an armor-filled backpack in and now my halfling/gnome can't pull it out!<br />
LOL, stupid small races. This is related to the "You can only pick up a certain percentage of your weight" issue. Find some CON enhancives or [[ASSIST (verb)|ASSIST]].<br />
<br />
;My locker isn't here! Where is it?<br />
It's wherever you started the game, or wherever you last moved it to. You can use LOCKER INFO or go to the local Mover's and ask them about moving your locker. Either option will tell you where your locker is.<br />
<br />
;No, really, it says my locker isn't here but I'm in the House Annex.<br />
Oh, that. Yeah, people post about that on the forums and a redname tells them its a known issue. It comes up if you try to move your locker to a locker that hasn't been accessed in a while. Try to ask if someone can visit the annex lockers and then try to move your locker again.<br />
<br />
;I can't figure out how to get into my locker in my House Annex.<br />
A lot of the House Annexes have puzzles to get into the lockers. Ask on your House amulet channel or look on your house website. Or just start pulling and turning everything in the room.<br />

Broken glass bottles and glasses are strewn across the oak-planked floor, the green and brown shards brushed towards the walls alongside piles of melted slush. The stench of fermented alcohol and sweat fills the room, mixing with the aroma of pipe tobacco and a familiar metallic twang. You also see a dilapidated oilcloth sign, a heavy wooden table and a tall red-haired barmaid.<br />

== a tall canvas tent ==<br />
[Reim Base Camp, Armory - 25267]<br />
Tightly bound bundles of dried herbs hang from the ceiling of the canvas tent, the plants spaced out between a pair of rusted iron lanterns that illuminate the small space. A frayed, dark wool mat lays rolled against the back wall, as well as a number of totems and idols carved from bloodwood and oak. The center of the area remains meticulously clean, the debris piled up to either side of the tent flap.

<hr />
<div>{{HSN}}<br />
__TOC__<br />
'''Elemental Lore, Air''' is a widely used lore used by mainly bards and wizards for the benefits it adds to many of the Sonic spells used by bards and the increases in various air base spells, such as [[Hand of Tonis]], for wizards. Sorcerers also often train in this skill minimally for the benefits it adds to [[Dark Catalyst]].<br />
<br />
==Minor Elemental==<br />
;*[[Presence (402)]]<br />
:Training in Air Lore provides a chance to be able to point out hidden targets. The formula highly favors the hider, but will allow an extremely dedicated Air Elementalists a chance against less skilled hiders.<br />
<br />
;*[[Elemental Detection (405)]]<br />
:30 ranks of Air Lore will give the ability to detect elemental weapon flares, and if an item is an enhancive (but not the properties of said enhancement).<br />
<br />
;*[[Elemental Wave (410)]]<br />
:50 ranks of Air Lore will turn the ability into a spherical wave that can affect flying targets, but will not knock them out of the air.<br />
<br />
;*[[Major Elemental Wave (435)]]<br />
:50 ranks of Air Lore will turn the ability into a spherical wave that can affect flying targets, but will not knock them out of the air.<br />
<br />
== Major Elemental ==<br />
;*[[Chromatic Circle (502)]]<br />
:Targets have a chance to incur a DS penalty (for 15 seconds or 2 attacks) of {{mono|2 per seed 1 summation of ranks }}to successive casts of the Cone of Elements (518) special vacuum bolt, (Tonis Bolt?), and attacks with vacuum-flaring weapons. Air Lore also determines activation of lightning vulnerability. In combination with Water Lore, Air Lore determines the DS penalty of follow-up attacks of Minor Shock, Major Shock, and lightning flaring weapons by {{mono|seed 1 summation [(Water Lore + Air Lore ranks) ÷ 2]}}. <br />
<br />
;*[[Slow (504)]]<br />
:A target successfully warded by Slow will have an additional one second of roundtime at 100 skill (24 ranks) of air lore, two seconds at 200 skill (100 ranks), and three seconds at 300 skill (200 ranks) of Air Lore. Every 20 ranks adds one target in the open cast version. Total targets = 1 + ranks/20.<br />
<br />
;*[[Hand of Tonis (505)]]<br />
:20 ranks of Air Lore unlocks a bolt version of this spell (Tonis Bolt) that deals [[Unbalance critical table|Unbalance]] crits with a high chance of a knockdown and stun. <br />
:Air Lore ranks also increase the bolt's [[damage factor]] by .001 per rank for ranks 1 to 50, .001 per two ranks for ranks 51 to 100 and .001 per four ranks for ranks 101 to 200. Total DF bonus is .100 with 200 air lore ranks. <br />
<br />
;*[[Celerity (506)]]<br />
:50 ranks of Air Lore unlocks a group version using [[EVOKE]]. Reduces stamina cost by ... Reduces roundtime by ...<br />
<br />
;*[[Floating Disk (511)]]<br />
:10 ranks of Air Lore make the Wizard's disk increase capacity from eight item slots to nine. A maximum capacity of twenty (8 base + 12 bonus) item slots is achieved at 186 ranks of air lore. Use seed 10 of the [[summation chart]] to determine the minimum number of ranks required for additional bonus slots.<br />
<br />
;*[[Rapid Fire (515)]]<br />
:Training in Air Lore provides a chance to cause a spell to be CHANNELled without incurring the normal hard RT from channeling based on a seed 1 summation of ranks. When this effect occurs for a warding spell, the caster will be treated as if they were in offensive stance for the purposes of determining the bonus from channeling.<br />
<br />
;*[[Cone of Elements (518)]]<br />
:20 ranks of Air Lore unlocks Air specification, which uses a [[vacuum critical table|vacuum]] based bolt that is currently unique to Cone of Elements. <br />
:10 ranks of Air Lore (along with 10 ranks of Water Lore) is also required to unlock Lightning specification, which uses [[Major Shock (910)]], and gains from Major Shock's respective lore benefits.<br />
<br />
;*[[Haste (535)]]<br />
:Every five ranks of Air Lore reduces the roundtime reduction by 1%, capped at 60% at 165 ranks with 35 Major Elemental spell ranks.<br />
<br />
;*[[Time Stop (550)]]<br />
:Training in Air Lore will increase the amount of roundtime that is removed and the amount of time that is removed from negative effects by (1.5 * seed 1 summation of their EL:A ranks) seconds (e.g. at 28 ranks, it removes an additional 10 seconds; at 55 ranks, it removes an additional 15 seconds, etc).<br />
<br />
== Wizard Base ==<br />
;*[[Minor Shock (901)]]<br />
:Training in Air Lore increases the damage factor by .001 per two ranks up to rank 100 and .001 per 4 ranks for ranks 101 to 200. Total cumulative bonus of .075 at 200 ranks (300 skill) of air lore. <br />
:Air Lore also adds a seed 5 summation of skill chance of applying a persistent electrical jolt on the target called Stun Shock, for which the duration of is determined by Water Lore.<br />
<br />
;*[[Major Shock (910)]]<br />
:Training in Air Lore increases the damage factor by .001 per two ranks up to rank 100 and .001 per 4 ranks for ranks 101 to 200. Total cumulative bonus of .075 at 200 ranks (300 skill) of air lore.<br />
:Air Lore also adds a seed 5 summation of skill chance of applying a persistent electrical jolt on the target called Stun Shock, for which the duration of is determined by Water Lore.<br />
:10 ranks of Air Lore (along with 10 ranks of Water Lore) unlocks lightning element specification, which multi-casts this spell with [[Cone of Elements (518)]]. <br />
<br />
;*[[Mass Blur (911)]]<br />
:Training in Air Lore increases Dodge ranks by +1 per seed 1 summation. This bonus applies to the caster only and not any group members.<br />
<br />
;*[[Call Wind (912)]]<br />
:Training in air lore will give the wizard a chance of forming a windy vortex when casting Call Wind by {{mono|2% per seed 5 summation of ranks}}.<br />
<br />
;*[[Sandstorm (914)]]<br />
:Air lore has two effects: it reduces the summoning time and increases [[Unbalance critical table|unbalance]] critical damage per seed 6 [[summation chart|summation]].<br />
<br />
;*[[Invisibility (916)]]<br />
:50 ranks of Air Lore will unlock a [[group]] version that will make everyone in the group invisible for 2 minutes, and also disband the group. This is cast using [[EVOKE]].<br />
<br />
;*[[Call Familiar (920)]]<br />
:Every 100 skill bonus of Air Lore will decrease the amount of time it takes for a familiar to find a player, with the maximum benefit occurring at 200 skill.<br />
<br />
;*[[Core Tap (950)]]<br />
:Training in Air Lore allows for a chance to CHANNEL the spells cast (without having to be in offensive stance or receiving the RT) using a seed 1 summation with a 5 multiplier, such that 50 ranks it's 47% chance, at 100 ranks, it's 68%, etc.<br />
<br />
== Bard Base ==<br />
;*[[Stunning Shout (1008)]]<br />
:Every three (3) ranks of EL:Air lore will increase the damage inflicted by a successful result by one (1) additional Hit Point.<br />
<br />
;*[[Sonic Shield Song (1009)]]<br />
:At twenty (20) ranks of EL:Air skill, the ''effective'' size--for purposes of calculating hindrance to [[Dodge]]--of a Bard's Sonic Shield is reduced by one (1) step, so a Tower sized Sonic Shield would only hinder the Bard to the extent that a normal Large shield would.<br />
:At fifty (50) ranks of EL:Air skill, the ''effective'' size is reduced by one (1) more (a total of -2 size reduction), so a Tower sized Sonic Shield would hinder as a normal Medium shield.<br />
:At one hundred (100) ranks of EL:Air skill, the ''effective'' size is further reduced by one (1) (a total of -3 size reduction), so a Tower sized Sonic Shield would hinder the Bard's Dodge as though it were a normal Small shield.<br />
<br />
;*[[Sonic Weapon Song (1012)]]<br />
:Training in EL:Air will first give, and then increase, the possibility of a Bard's chosen Sonic Weapon flaring a second time. Sonic Weapon Song already has the best inherent flares in the game: they have the possibility of flaring on consecutive swings, and that is ''very'' uncommon outside of ridiculously rare/expensive items.<br />
:The second flare that Sonic Weapon Song has is '''independent''' of the first flare, and the two flares have different messaging; the second flare is indicated by "With a loud snap" (and then additional text which I do not recall). Since this flare is independent, it is possible to have a swing which generates no flare, one (normal) flare, one (second) flare, or two (one each normal and second) flares. While this is superficially similar to the [[Paladin]] spell which also confers second flares, the [[Paladin]]s can '''only''' get their second flare on a swing which generates the primary flare.<br />
:Both flares draw from the same critical hit chart, so it is entirely possible to get only minor hits (add 5 hit points of damage) for both... or to get major hits (add 40-75 hit points of damage, break/sever limbs, instant death) for both. (If the primary flare kills, of course, the second never gets a chance to activate.)<br />
<br />
;*[[Song of Tonis (1035)]]<br />
:This Song normally provides some ranks of Dodge to the Bard's group while it is active; with additional training in EL:Air these ranks are increased. The rank progression does '''not''' follow one of the normal Lore "seed" patterns. One (1) additional rank of Dodge is conferred at one (1) rank of EL:Air; a maximum of twenty (20) additional ranks of Dodge are conferred at ninety six (96) ranks of EL:Air.<br />
:At thirty (30) ranks of EL:Air, Song of Tonis gives an additional one (1) second of [[roundtime]] reduction to the Bard's party (-1s is inherent in the spell effect; a total of -2s at this skill level).<br />
:At seventy five (75) ranks of EL:Air, Song of Tonis gives still another one (1) second (a total of -2s from this skill and -1s from the spell, for -3s total) reduction.<br />
<br />
== Sorcerer Base ==<br />
;*[[Energy Maelstrom (710)]]<br />
:Training in Air Lore will increase the damage of lightning cycles (and not vacuum). Any combination of Elemental Lore ranks will speed up the formation of the storm at 5, 15, 30, 50, and 75 total ranks, with the storm forming in a less than 10 seconds at 75 ranks.<br />
<br />
;*[[Dark Catalyst (719)]]<br />
:At 12 ranks of a given lore, the critical rank of the relevant damage cycle is increased by one level; at 50 ranks, it is increased by 2 levels; and at 100 lore ranks, it is increased by 3 levels. This flat modifier is unaffected by the warding margin.<br />
<br />
;*[[Animate Dead (730)]]<br />
:Training in Air Lore will increase the damage of an animate corpse explosion for air-attuned sorcerers.<br />

__TOC__<br />
'''Elemental Lore, Air''' is a widely used lore used by mainly bards and wizards for the benefits it adds to many of the Sonic spells used by bards and the increases in various air base spells, such as [[Hand of Tonis]], for wizards. Sorcerers also often train in this skill minimally for the benefits it adds to [[Dark Catalyst]].<br />
<br />
==Minor Elemental==<br />
;*[[Presence (402)]]<br />
:Training in Air Lore provides a chance to be able to point out hidden targets. The formula highly favors the hider, but will allow an extremely dedicated Air Elementalists a chance against less skilled hiders.<br />
<br />
;*[[Elemental Detection (405)]]<br />
:30 ranks of Air Lore will give the ability to detect elemental weapon flares, and if an item is an enhancive (but not the properties of said enhancement).<br />
<br />
;*[[Elemental Wave (410)]]<br />
:50 ranks of Air Lore will turn the ability into a spherical wave that can affect flying targets, but will not knock them out of the air.<br />
<br />
;*[[Major Elemental Wave (435)]]<br />
:50 ranks of Air Lore will turn the ability into a spherical wave that can affect flying targets, but will not knock them out of the air.<br />
<br />
== Major Elemental ==<br />
;*[[Chromatic Circle (502)]]<br />
:Targets have a chance to incur a DS penalty (for 15 seconds or 2 attacks) of {{mono|2 per seed 1 summation of ranks }}to successive casts of the Cone of Elements (518) special vacuum bolt, (Tonis Bolt?), and attacks with vacuum-flaring weapons. Air Lore also determines activation of lightning vulnerability. In combination with Water Lore, Air Lore determines the DS penalty of follow-up attacks of Minor Shock, Major Shock, and lightning flaring weapons by {{mono|seed 1 summation [(Water Lore + Air Lore ranks) ÷ 2]}}. <br />
<br />
;*[[Slow (504)]]<br />
:A target successfully warded by Slow will have an additional one second of roundtime at 100 skill (24 ranks) of air lore, two seconds at 200 skill (100 ranks), and three seconds at 300 skill (200 ranks) of Air Lore. Every 20 ranks adds one target in the open cast version. Total targets = 1 + ranks/20.<br />
<br />
;*[[Hand of Tonis (505)]]<br />
:20 ranks of Air Lore unlocks a bolt version of this spell (Tonis Bolt) that deals [[Unbalance critical table|Unbalance]] crits with a high chance of a knockdown and stun. <br />
:Air Lore ranks also increase the bolt's [[damage factor]] by .001 per rank for ranks 1 to 50, .001 per two ranks for ranks 51 to 100 and .001 per four ranks for ranks 101 to 200. Total DF bonus is .100 with 200 air lore ranks. <br />
<br />

<br />
;*[[Floating Disk (511)]]<br />
:10 ranks of Air Lore make the Wizard's disk increase capacity from eight item slots to nine. A maximum capacity of twenty (8 base + 12 bonus) item slots is achieved at 186 ranks of air lore. Use seed 10 of the [[summation chart]] to determine the minimum number of ranks required for additional bonus slots.<br />
<br />
;*[[Rapid Fire (515)]]<br />
:Training in Air Lore provides a chance to cause a spell to be CHANNELled without incurring the normal hard RT from channeling based on a seed 1 summation of ranks. When this effect occurs for a warding spell, the caster will be treated as if they were in offensive stance for the purposes of determining the bonus from channeling.<br />
<br />
;*[[Cone of Elements (518)]]<br />
:20 ranks of Air Lore unlocks Air specification, which uses a [[vacuum critical table|vacuum]] based bolt that is currently unique to Cone of Elements. <br />
:10 ranks of Air Lore (along with 10 ranks of Water Lore) is also required to unlock Lightning specification, which uses [[Major Shock (910)]], and gains from Major Shock's respective lore benefits.<br />
<br />
;*[[Haste (535)]]<br />
:Every five ranks of Air Lore reduces the roundtime reduction by 1%, capped at 60% at 165 ranks with 35 Major Elemental spell ranks.<br />
<br />
== Wizard Base ==<br />
;*[[Minor Shock (901)]]<br />
:Training in Air Lore increases the damage factor by .001 per two ranks up to rank 100 and .001 per 4 ranks for ranks 101 to 200. Total cumulative bonus of .075 at 200 ranks (300 skill) of air lore. <br />
:Air Lore also adds a seed 5 summation of skill chance of applying a persistent electrical jolt on the target called Stun Shock, for which the duration of is determined by Water Lore.<br />
<br />
;*[[Major Shock (910)]]<br />
:Training in Air Lore increases the damage factor by .001 per two ranks up to rank 100 and .001 per 4 ranks for ranks 101 to 200. Total cumulative bonus of .075 at 200 ranks (300 skill) of air lore.<br />
:Air Lore also adds a seed 5 summation of skill chance of applying a persistent electrical jolt on the target called Stun Shock, for which the duration of is determined by Water Lore.<br />
:10 ranks of Air Lore (along with 10 ranks of Water Lore) unlocks lightning element specification, which multi-casts this spell with [[Cone of Elements (518)]]. <br />
<br />
;*[[Mass Blur (911)]]<br />
:Training in Air Lore increases Dodge ranks by +1 per seed 1 summation. This bonus applies to the caster only and not any group members.<br />
<br />
;*[[Call Wind (912)]]<br />
:Training in air lore will give the wizard a chance of forming a windy vortex when casting Call Wind by {{mono|2% per seed 5 summation of ranks}}.<br />
<br />
;*[[Sandstorm (914)]]<br />
:Air lore has two effects: it reduces the summoning time and increases [[Unbalance critical table|unbalance]] critical damage per seed 6 [[summation chart|summation]].<br />
<br />
;*[[Invisibility (916)]]<br />
:50 ranks of Air Lore will unlock a [[group]] version that will make everyone in the group invisible for 2 minutes, and also disband the group. This is cast using [[EVOKE]].<br />
<br />
;*[[Call Familiar (920)]]<br />
:Every 100 skill bonus of Air Lore will decrease the amount of time it takes for a familiar to find a player, with the maximum benefit occurring at 200 skill.<br />
<br />
;*[[Core Tap (950)]]<br />
:Training in Air Lore allows for a chance to CHANNEL the spells cast (without having to be in offensive stance or receiving the RT) using a seed 1 summation with a 5 multiplier, such that 50 ranks it's 47% chance, at 100 ranks, it's 68%, etc.<br />
<br />
== Bard Base ==<br />
;*[[Stunning Shout (1008)]]<br />
:Every three (3) ranks of EL:Air lore will increase the damage inflicted by a successful result by one (1) additional Hit Point.<br />
<br />

:At twenty (20) ranks of EL:Air skill, the ''effective'' size--for purposes of calculating hindrance to [[Dodge]]--of a Bard's Sonic Shield is reduced by one (1) step, so a Tower sized Sonic Shield would only hinder the Bard to the extent that a normal Large shield would.<br />
