Node

The official GemStone IV encyclopedia.
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A node is a location where mana flows more freely than most other locations, which has numerous effects. A node increases experience absorption, mana regeneration, and spirit regeneration, and it has effects on various other systems such as the chance of enchanting an item. Nodes are not common locations. While some people believe an empath or cleric can detect a node by the use of MEDITATE, successfully meditating does not always indicate it is a node because non-node areas under a sanctuary effect also allow meditation.

A super node is the term for a room that gives a slight increase to the rate of experience absorption over that of a basic node. Major gathering locations in every major realm have super node status.

Other Gathering Places

CHE/MHOs

While most nodes and super nodes are public, the Common Room (or equivalent) of a CHE's primary house (not annexes) are also super nodes. Most CHE locker annexes in other cities, if not all, are nodes.

MHO groups could request a super node in place of a regular node for their permanent structure, so long as the node was either in a public room of the structure or the group had a large enough and active enough membership to support the node.
