Rings of Lumnis – Quintuple Brooch Gets Two New Verbs
Beginning tonight, the Quest Reward for Rings of Lumnis, a quintuple orb brooch, will gain two new verbs.
PROD has been added to all brooches allowing the owner to turn on and off all third-party mechanical verb triggering messaging.
WHISPER has been added to allow you to, in one of the appropriate places of reverence or if your brooch is unlocked to do anywhere, tell your brooch which ring to be set on.
The syntax for these are:
PROD {my} BROOCH
WHISPER {my} BROOCH [{CHAOS} or {ELEMENT} or {ORDER} or {PLANAR} or {SPIRIT}]
Enjoy!

Subject: Rings of Lumnis: Brooch Upgrade
Starting tomorrow, Rings of Lumnis participants will be able to unlock an upgrade to their quintuple orb brooch by visiting the lithe giantkin monk. Simply ASK MONK ABOUT UPGRADE. For the cost 1,000,000 silver, your brooch will be unlocked for these new benefits:
1) You will able to change the selected orb (benefit) from anywhere and at anytime.
2) The previous orb bonus capped at 1,000. Additional runs will now continue to add to it at the rate of +1 per 10. i.e. you will be able to instant absorb more than 1,000 experience, boost your field experience pool by more than 1,000, earn more than 1,000 bonus bounty points, etc. The increased bonus doesn't apply to the Elemental orb since it's a percent chance for an additional roll when performing Adventurer's Guild tasks and caps at 100%.
3) The normal brooch calculates its uses per day by taking the total of all runs across all the orbs in the brooch. By upgrading it, you get a separate cooldown and uses per day for each orb (benefit). So if have 500 runs in Planar and 750 runs in Spiritual, you can use your brooch 3 times per day for the Planar benefit AND 4 times per day for the Spiritual benefit.

Subject: RoL - changes for upcoming runs
Hi everyone - I wanted to give everyone a head's up about this event. It's possible that in the future (NOT this run that begins on the 17th), the reward item obtained from this event will change. What does this mean for those of you who already have a brooch? Absolutely nothing! You will still be able to improve this item through running the event. But those who do not have the brooch may not be able to get one. It's not a definite, it is a possibility that this run of RoL will be the last time to get that brooch.
In addition, we're discussing some further changes with other prizes and rewards for this event, so things there will change in the future. We'll keep you updated as we know more. This is just notification that notice that some elements related to the event will change in the future.

Quest Reward

Subject: Quest Reward
We're doing something a bit different this event, where the item awarded for completing the quest is a single piece that you have the option to continually improve. Each puzzle "ring" (Planar, Spiritual, Elemental, Chaos, Order) will have a specific benefit. You can only have one benefit active at any given time, and the benefit can only be changed at the event. Once the event ends, the active benefit on your item is the benefit you will have until the next run.
What are the benefits? There are five.
Planar Larger experience bucket. Spiritual Instant experience absorption. Elemental Adv. Guild performance boosts. Chaos Random selection of benefit with a twist. Order Bonus Bounty Points.
The potency of the bonuses scale as you continue to run the trials. This item needs to be activated in order to receive the bonus; it's not an "always on" benefit. This item also attunes to your character, and you must have an attuned (and worn) item in order to enter the puzzle rings.

When you use QUEST to be transported to the Needle of Pentas, you'll be confined to this area of the Isle of Ornath. There is some exploration that anyone can take part in, whether you want to participate in the event or not. There are five teleportation disks, Planar, Spiritual, Elemental, Chaos, and Order, that will bring you to Liabo. Each section will have a ring you enter which is where the trials take place. This is where you'll need a scholar's card and a brooch (the relic). You are awarded an increment to your brooch upon entering the puzzle area, win, lose, or surrender. The increment is only good for the "ring" you're entering. For example, entering Planar will increment the Planar benefit by +1. If you want to increment the Elemental benefit, you'll need to visit the Elemental "ring" to try your knowledge (and maybe luck) there. Solving the puzzles will award field experience. Hopefully they are both entertaining and challenging as well.
The brooch is a pin worn item that has 5 benefits. The benefits can be changed at this event via the TURN verb. Once the event ends, the benefit selected is locked in until next time Rings of Lumnis comes around. No progress is lost on the brooch if you select a different benefit. The brooch also unlocks verbs that do cosmetic changes to your character as well as additional messaging for your relic after completing a number of increments to your brooch.
The brooch can be upgraded quite a bit. It starts out gaining benefits very rapidly, but slows downs as the potency becomes stronger.
Bonus Per Run Number of Runs Total Bonus +10 10 runs +100 +5 20 runs +100 +4 25 runs +100 +1 200 runs +200 +1 200 runs +100 +1 400 runs +100 +1 500 runs +100 +1 1000 runs +100 Totals 2405 runs +1000
Planar, Spiritual, and Order take the total you have and directly add it to the benefit. Elemental is a bit different in that the number translates to a percent bonus where +100 equals 10 (always rounding down). Chaos will randomly select one of the other benefits with a chance to be up to 10% more of a bonus.
As a further example, after 250 runs, the bonus is 545. So for Planar, it increases your field exp bucket by 545. For Spiritual, you can instantly absorb 545 exp. For Elemental, you have a 54% chance for an improved roll on various Adv. Guild tasks. For Chaos, random between one of the other benefits using Chaos's increments, then you have 545 + random 1 to 54 for an addition bonus. For Order, you get +545 bounty points for completing an Adv. Guild task.
The brooch MUST be activated to use. Spiritual is instantly used. The others stays active for thirty (30) minutes. The brooch starts off at 1x/day, but with many runs, you can begin to gain additional uses. Gaining extra uses takes the entire's brooch's progress into account, not just the specific benefits, as does unlocking verbs. Don't worry about memorizing the numbers. We have a detailed ANALYZE on the item that will tell you exactly where you are with the benefits.
The brooch is account attuned, but passing the brooch off is completely your responsibility.

Subject: Brooch Updates
In just a moment, we'll be rolling an update to the brooch to make it a bit more user friendly and will let the progression of the benefits flow a little better.
The brooch can now be set to another benefit once a month outside of the Rings of Lumnis event. You can still change it as much as you'd like at the Rings of Lumnis event, but if you want to change it to something outside of the event, you will need to make your way to the DragonSpine Fane and seek the niche dedicated to Lumnis there. You will have an hour after you make the decision to change it if you want to change it back, but after that, there is a month cooldown.
The other update is the progression when you get more usage per day. It is now:
1x/day 0 2x/day 100 3x/day 300 4x/day 750 5x/day 1500 6x/day 2500 7x/day 4500 8x/day 7000 9x/day 10000 10x/day 12025
Enjoy the updates, we'll have some more updates to the event soon!

Couple quality of life fixes for the brooch.
You can no longer use up a charge if you have the brooch set to an orb that has no incremental benefits.
The next is an update to fill the 500 total increment spot that was pushed down to the 300 total spot. The concept was something we've talked about a bunch during the development of the item. When Liabo is a full moon, the benefit will get a bonus. The first one is at at 500, which will grant an additional 10% bonus to your brooch. The next is a longer ways out at 3500, but it will be 20% at that point.
Liabo has a very short orbit at just over 7 days (7.3 days) and lasts roughly 29.2 hours. A carefully timed usage can get some extra mileage out of the brooch with these full moons.

Did you hastily choose one ring over another to run your trials? Did you choose one ring and then later decide you wish you'd selected another? Do you just not like your current ring? Today is your lucky day!
Ask the monk in the foyer about EXCHANGE. She'll let you know what to do from there. Be advised that this service does come at a cost of 50,000 silvers per transferred run.

Yes, that's correct. 50k for every run you want to move from one ring to another.
