Step 22

The Symbol of Turning, governed by Lord Phoen, is obtained at the twenty second step of the Order of Voln. This symbol can be used as either a single target or mass attack against undead creatures. This symbol uses the standard success resolution system to determine success or failure. There are several possible outcomes, from benign to instant death, that may occur depending on the level of success. The untargeted version uses the standard AoE Targeting system and will hit a maximum of 10 targets.

Syntax

  • SYMBOL OF TURNING (by itself for the mass attack version)
  • SYMBOL OF TURNING <target> (for the single target version)

Favor Cost

THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS

Symbol of Turning has a base cost which is dependent on the member's level (not member's rank). See Table for specific examples.

The base cost, for either the targeted or untargeted (mass attack) version, applies when there is one undead creature in the room. This base cost has a relative cost of 3x Symbol of Protection's favor cost. The mass attack version (untargeted) has an escalating cost that increases when more than one undead is present. Favor cost for this symbol is capped at 8 undead creatures regardless of the number actually affected. Since living creatures are unaffected by Symbol of Turning their presence does not increase favor cost.

Favor Cost Table

Undead
Creatures 		Favor Cost
1 Base
2 Base × 2
3 Base × 2.5
4 Base × 3
5 Base × 3.5
6 Base × 4
7 Base × 4.5
8 or more Base × 5

Favor cost example for a level 40 member with 4 undead creatures present. (Lvl 40 base cost = 219)

219 × 3 = 657 favor

Favor Required to Obtain Symbol of Turning

Formula: 2100 + (( level2 × 35) ÷ 3 )

Ex. level 15 member: 2100 + ((15 × 15 × 35) ÷ 3) = 4725 favor

Ex. level 20 member: 2100 + ((20 × 20 × 35) ÷ 3) = 6766 favor
