Tasks Assigned
Skilled Masters
- Go see one of the guild's Masters at Arms. They will demonstrate for you and have you perform a new trick several times.
- This task is worth 15 points.
Audience
- Perform your trick for an audience. A full audience consist of five non-guild members or two guild masters. Based on the size of your audience, the time between reps, and the number of reps you get for each performance of the trick varies. For each audience member, the wait time between repetitions is 20 seconds, and there is a maximum number of reps you can get for a single performance (5). In GemStone IV Platinum, the audience size requirements are diminished.
- This task is worth 10 points.
Rake Leaves
- Simply proceed to the tool rack, retrieve a rake and bag, and return to the yard. In areas with scattered leaves, PULL RAKE to gather the leaves into a pile and then GET PILE to gather the leaves into your bag. When the bag is full, return to the tool rack and EMPTY BAG IN BIN to complete the rep.
- This task is worth 5 points.
Polish Armor
- Proceed to the tool rack, retrieve an oiled rag, and find the suits of armor scattered throughout the guild hall and RUB ARMOR to polish them. Return the rag when you are finished. Each suit of armor can only be polished once every 15 minutes (note: I'm not certain on the 15 mins number).
- This task is worth 5 points.
Prune Shrubs
- Again, go to the tool rack and retrieve pruning shears. Then, at each bush, hedge, or shrub, PRUNE it. Return the shears to the rack when finished. Each suit of armor can only be polished once every 15 minutes (note: I'm not certain on the 15 mins number).
