Bards have now learned how to temporarily and permanently unlock loresongs.

All loresongs are now temporarily unlocked after a bard loresings to an item anywhere from 1 to 30 days. The duration is based upon the Bard's skill, with factors being Bard spellsong ranks, Influence stat bonus, and Mental Lore, Telepathy.

To permanently unlock a loresong, a Bard must accumulate Lore Knowledge Points. These are earned by killing like level creatures. Each kill provides a small chance to earn 1 LKP. Subsequent kills increase the odds until a point is earned, with guaranteed success after 1,000 kills for the week. A Bard may learn up to 1 LKP per week and store up to 5 LKPs total. A Bard may view if they've already earned their weekly LKP and their total LKPs with the RECALL verb. There is a skill check to permanently unlock a loresong, using the Bard's skill vs. the item's properties. Success modifiers include level, Bard spellsong ranks, Magic Item Use, Elemental Mana Control, Mental Mana Control, Aura and Influence stat bonus, and Mental Lore, Telepathy. There are also penalties for being injured or low on spirit. To attempt to unlock the loresong of an item, the Bard first needs to loresing to the item like normal, then within 5 minutes, use the RECALL verb on the item. The first attempt will provide information such as the chance of success and how many LKPs it will cost to unlock the item. The minimum cost to unlock any item is 1 LKP and the maximum cost is 5. The skill check to unlock a loresong is far more forgiving than enchant and ensorcell, but not all items may necessarily be possible for a Bard to unlock without outside help. Once a loresong is unlocked, non-Bards may RECALL the item to hear its loresong.
