==Description==
The supple firecat is a large cat of sleek build with powerful leaping muscles that ripple beneath its thick black coat. Flames flicker above its tufted ears, and its eyes shift from red to gold to blue as it watches, waiting for the perfect opportunity to pounce.

==Special Attacks==
*Supple Firecats can enter a room hidden.
*Supple Firecats can jump to melee in a single bound.

==Special Defences==
* Immune to fire.

==In Depth==
*Supple Firecats live in the Fangs of Ushnish, a rugged area behind Temple of Ushnish. They share this area alongside the [[Atik'et]] and [[Muscular Firecat]]s.
*The Cavern of Fire (Hibarnhvidar) is a restricted estate-holder area.

9/21/2020 - Supple Firecats in the Cavern of Fire (Hibarnhvidar) are a bit easier, they evaluate as - 46 46 46 46 
3/22/19 Skill range (300-450) is incorrect. I have 380-440 in all defensive skills and all are hard capped. 
4/21/20 Evasion of 344 is dabbling so far with 2 attacking. This is with the Hib specific supple firecats so there may be a difference. 
5/24/20 Tested with warmage. 4 of these were getting hits without buffs (385 shield/404 chain/404 evasion/391 defend) and locking these skills. Also able to move weapon at 427, but not TM beyond 1/34 at 445. Adjusting cap to 430 for this and all other mobs beyond the cliff.

__NOTOC__

==Description==
One of the legendary predators that skulk the face of Elanthia, the wyvern embodies the perfect combination of raw killing strength and razor-keen intelligence. Hunched forward on two immense legs, the wyvern towers at nearly twenty feet tall, ready to lash outwards at a moment's notice. Sharp serpentine features grace its enormous triangular skull, occasionally curling its maw with a rumbling snarl to display the scimitar-sized serrated fangs, perfect for tearing flesh from bone.

==Recall==
Hatching from eggs, wyverns take a fairly long time to mature, and are usually born in clutches of eighteen to twenty eggs that can weigh nearly a hundred pounds each. Adult wyverns are fully capable of flight and can grow to massive sizes.

Adult wyverns are massive, intelligent, and well known to prey on lesser-skilled adventurers, enjoying the challenge of hunting them. In addition, they can inflict a lethal dose of poison to their victims, and are fully capable of burning them to a crisp.

It is well known that wyverns will eat anything that moves, including unlucky adventurers. Thus, their stomachs are often a treasure trove of coins and items.

===In Depth===
Will take bites out of corpses upon death.

===Special Attacks===
Naphtha Breath, Poisoned Tails, Aerial Grapple

__NOTOC__

==Description==
The lava drake is a creature of raw incandescence drawn straight from the molten heart of Elanthia. Resembling a small angiswaerd, the construct is the length of a full-grown Gor'Tog and is protected by a multitude volcanic rock scales that cover its molten body from snout to tail. The creature is constantly changing and reforming, its form as fluid as its substance, but it tends to have a sinuous, low-slung body supported by four sturdy legs. Its fiery maw is crowded with razor-sharp teeth, and its eyes are pits of white-hot fire. Shrouded in a mantle of shifting flames, the lava drake leaves smoldering footprints wherever it goes.

==In Depth==
===Special Defenses===
*Immune to fire.
*Can heal by burrowing.
*Equipped with a natural shield (like armadillos), which makes them harder to hit with weapons than most natural creatures. Adult wyverns (level 160) are actually easier to hit.

===Special Attacks===
*Bursts out of the ground to ambush.
*Successful special attacks give varying roundtimes for a short duration.

Experience

2021-01-28T19:43:20Z

CUTHALION: Backstab does not actually share a field exp group with skinning - any thief can watch their pulses and confirm this. I'd bet Bardic Lore is also in group 10 with the other guild skills, but someone would have to check.

{{RTOC}}
:''For the game command, see {{com|experience}}.''

[[Experience]], often abbreviated '''exp''', is the general term for all of the [[skill]] learning your character has attained.

In [[DragonRealms]], your ranks in a skill are increased by using it. This is called training. The amount of experience gained from any action is scaled to the difficulty of that action for your character at that time, and how successful your character is in performing it. It is common for a task that has become very simple or unchallenging to grant zero experience.

Experience can potentially be lost as a consequence of character [[death]], although this can be easily avoided through [[favors]].

==Ranks==
Gained [[experience]] is measured as whole-number increments called "ranks." As your experience drains from your experience pool for a particular [[:Category:Skills|skill]], your learning is converted into ranks. Your ability in a skill is measured by the number of ranks you have attained in that skill. Additionally, there are skill requirements for advancing in circle (or character level) within a guild. Finally, gaining ranks in skills grants [[Time Development Points|TDPs]], which can be used to raise your stats.

''Note:'' It is generally considered OOC to engage in explicit discussions of numerical stats or skills. (Role-players may also object to the term "ranks.") When discussing skill via IC channels, the most conservative approach is to use the [[Experience#RP_messaging|RP messaging]], reserving numerical discussions for whispers and private messages. See [[Out of Character]] for additional information.

The amount of effort required to move up one rank in a skill can be measured in bits. Through analysis of the output of the {{com|CONVERT}} command it was possible to reverse engineer this relationship between ranks. Your next rank in a skill will be reached after you have gained 200 + n bits, where n is the current rank. This means to go from rank 0 to rank 1 in a skill you will need 200 bits, to go from rank 1 to rank 2, you will need 201 bits, and so on. By summing up the number of ranks you can determine how many bits it will take to reach a current level.

The graph and table below show the total number of bits needed to reach a specific rank from 0. This graphic demonstrates the relative difficulty to climb ranks. For example, to go from 300 to 400 ranks takes roughly the same number of bits as going from 0 to 200 ranks. Going from rank 1,000 to 1,500 requires approximately twice the number of bits as going from 0 to 1,000.

|-

|}

===Maximum rank===
Ranks are capped at 1750. Once you hit 1750 ranks, you no longer gain experience into your experience pool for that skill and draining experience has no effect. It is possible to have effective ranks higher than 1750 through buffs such as abilities or spells. Self-cast skill buffs are capped at 20%. Third party casts from guild abilities bonusing the same skill with a different ability can extend the buff to 30%<ref>[[Post:Buff_Limit_Expansion_-_04/20/2019_-_12:45]]</ref>. You can see your current buffs using {{com|EXPERIENCE}} {{tt|MODS}}.

===Calculations for Ranks and Bits===
The relationship between bits and ranks can be defined algebraically. In the formulas below ''r'' refers to ranks and ''b'' refers to bits.<ref>[[Talk:Convert_command]]</ref>

[[File:Bits_from_ranks_formula.png]] yields the bits needed to reach a specific rank.

[[File:Ranks_from_bits_formula.png]] yields the rank a number of bits would reach.

==Experience pools and pulses==
===Experience pools===
Every skill has its own individual pool, which fills with field experience as you obtain it. The current amount of field experience in your pool ranges from clear (empty) to mind lock (full).

Factors that determine maximum pool size (in descending order of importance):
#whether the skill is in your primary, secondary, or tertiary skillset
#the number of ranks you have in the skill
#{{stat|Intelligence}} (Note: Break points can be found at 30 and 60 Intelligence, see charts below for more info)
#{{stat|Discipline}} (Notes: Break points can be found at 30 and 60 Discipline, see charts below for more info. Additionally: It was planned for 3.0 to remove discipline from the experience pool effects, but as posted by Socharis on 1/18/13, "...So I looked into this, and Discipline was never taken out - It's not as significant as intelligence, but it definitely increases your <nowiki>[</nowiki>experience<nowiki>]</nowiki> pool size."

==Experience Pool Size==
The amount of bits that can be held in a particular skill can be determined by using the following method:
 

===Base pool size===
1. Find the size of the base bank pool for the skill, where total ranks is x
[[File:Baserankpool.png|left|200px]]
{|class="wikitable"
!Skillset placement!!Formula
|-
|Primary skills||y=(15000*X/(X+900))+1000

|-
|Tertiary skills||y=(10500*X/(X+900))+700
|}

===Experience pulses===
This field experience is gradually converted into actual ranks. When field experience is converted to ranks, it is called a pulse. The size of the pulse is calculated as a fraction of your total pool size. The primary factor affecting this fraction is whether the skill is primary, secondary, or tertiary; higher Wisdom also increases this fraction. However, secondary skills under 50 ranks will drain like primary skills<ref>[[Post:Low_level_ranks,_EXP,_and_you!_-_7/11/2008_-_8:58:48]]</ref><ref>[[Post:Minor_exp_change_-_02/05/2015_-_20:51]]</ref>, and tertiary skills under 25 ranks will drain like secondary skills.<ref>[[Post:Minor_exp_change_-_02/06/2015_-_10:57]]</ref>

!Skillset
!Time to Pulse From Mind Lock to Clear
|-
|Primary||40-60 minutes
|-
|Secondary||50-80 minutes
|-
|Tertiary||70-100 minutes
|}

===Skill Groups===
Skills pulse in groups every 200 seconds, with each group being offset from the previous one by 20 seconds. These skill groupings are arranged by skillset in the order they appear in the experience list in game, with the exception of certain guild-only skills which are located with their historical group. The order and timing of the pulses is fixed, meaning the pulses happen at the exact same time for the same skills for every single player in the game.

|-
|}

==Stats and learning==
Mental statistics have a significant effect on the experience system. Intelligence and Wisdom affect all skills equally and have diminishing returns that are not logarithmically diminishing. (Every TDP spent on these stats provides a benefit.)

*'''{{stat|Intelligence}}''': Maximum size of experience pools
*'''{{stat|Wisdom}}''': Pulse size
*'''{{stat|Discipline}}''': Experience pool size (10% efficiency)

The effect of Intelligence and Wisdom is a percentage and not dependent on how many ranks you have in the skill. The effects of these stats can't be "tested" in an hour. This is something that assists you over the course of your entire career.

On 12/10/2015, GM [[Armifer]] shared some hard numbers on how intelligence and wisdom affect learning.<ref>[[Post:Experience Pool Size - Bug Fix - 12/10/2015 - 19:03]]</ref> Using 10 as the baseline (100%), here is the magnitude of the effect of training those stats:

{|class=wikitable
|-
!Stat!!Value!!Effect (Compared to 10)
|-
|Intelligence/Wisdom||30||112%
|-
|Intelligence/Wisdom||60||121%
|-
|Intelligence/Wisdom||90||125%
|-
|Intelligence/Wisdom||120||130%
|}
"Discipline also increases pool size, at 10% efficacy, thus continuing its trend of doing just a little bit of everything." --GM [[Armifer]]

==Rested Experience System==
Regular Subscribers, Premium Subscribers, and F2P accounts (with a unlock purchased with [[SimuCoins]]) can utilize the Rested Experience System (REXP).<ref>[[Post:Rested Experience System is LIVE! - 02/02/2019 - 14:48]]</ref> When active, this system provides a bonus when field experience is converted to ranks. The actual EXP pools are unchanged, but when you drain experience from the pools it will simply be worth more actual ranks by a factor of 3.

===Summary for Casual Players===
When you type {{com|EXP}} you will see three numbers at the bottom of the screen. An example:

<pre>Rested EXP Stored: 2:25 hours Usable This Cycle: 2 hours Cycle Refreshes: 13:14 hours</pre>

Here's what they mean:
* First number: How much REXP you have banked.
* Second number: How much of the banked REXP you can use before the cycle resets. This can be larger or smaller than you have banked.
* Third number: How long until the second number resets.

'''By design, you don't need to manage anything.''' If the first and second numbers are populated you are ''automatically'' using REXP and your experience pools are draining at the accelerated rate. If you have REXP available the system will use it. More technical information is available in the next section, for those who want to try and optimize their REXP or just want to understand more. For the casual player: just play like you normally do.

The first number, the amount of banked REXP, regenerates automatically when you're logged out or if you're in a state of deep sleep (by typing {{com|sleep}} twice).

The max capacity of the first and second numbers are determined by your subscription type:
{|class="wikitable"
! Subscription !! REXP Capacity !! Notes
|-
| F2P || None ||
|-
| F2P || 2 hours || With the purchase of a Brain Boost from the SimuCoin Store.
|-
| Standard || 4 hours ||
|-
| Premium || 6 hours ||
|-
| Platinum || 8 hours || 8 hours in the Platinum instance only. 6 hours in Prime/TF.
|-
|}

===Technical Information===
There are three mechanical components to the system: pool cap, usage cap and cycle. Information about these features is available in the EXP command.

*The pool cap is how much rested exp you can have banked on your character at any time. Simple enough. At this time, the pool cap depends upon your subscription type. Standard accounts will be able to bank up to 4 hours of REXP. Premium accounts will store up to 6 hours, and in the Platinum instance the pool can hold 8 hours. This time will accumulate after 5 consecutive minutes of not draining experience. This is whether offline, online without any EXP in your pools, or with the help of deep sleep. The rested experience pool is filled at a rate of 2:1 (for every 2 minutes of not draining experience, 1 minute of rested experience is earned).

*The usage cap is how much rested exp you can use. For now, regardless of how frequently you fill the storage cap, you can only use up to 4/6/8 rested experience during one cycle (dependent upon account type).

*The cycle is how long it takes for the usage cap to reset. After 23:30 hours your usage cap will refresh and you can spend additional rested exp. The timing of the cycle is personal rather than universal: it starts when you, personally, do something with the rested exp system and then runs its course.

In addition to changes to how experience is converted under REXP, a modification to the sleep verb was provided. In "Light Sleep" you will stop gaining new experience but continue to drain experience from your pools. You will use REXP in this state. In "Deep Sleep" you will not gain experience NOR will you drain experience. Your REXP is not used, and you will start to accumulate time in your rested experience pool again.

Each time one of the 10 skill groups drain that has experience in it for any single, or multiple skills, 20 seconds is removed from your REXP time. If a skill group pulses and there isn't any experience in any of the skills for that group the 20 seconds remains. This makes it possible to focus on specific skill groups and stretch out the REXP time for any targeted skills in them. For Example, if you are only training skills in 5 of the 10 skill groups, your REXP time would take twice the amount of time to be used up. 4 hours could be 8 hours of focused training, or 6 hours could be 12.

A final note: [[RPA command|Roleplaying awards]] are multiplicative, and stack with REXP drain. For optimum gains, use any RPAs during your REXP time.

==Experience drain at login==
Experience drain at login is based on when you last logged out of the game. Starting at 30 minutes, you will drain a percentage of your experience equal to the number of minutes that you have been logged out divided by 360 (or 480 if you received a warning within the last six months).

When you're logged out, experience drains at a static rate, regardless of skillset placement, ranks, or stats. Technically, the experience doesn't actually pulse until you log back in. Previously, if one were to log in then log out before the pulse it would reset the timer. With the addition of Rested EXP, this is no longer true.

*'''Note: [[Free to play]] players do not receive offline drain without a pass from the [[Simucoin]] store. See [[Idle experience drain]] for more details.'''
*As of 03/12/2015, players who have received a warning within the last six months drain over eight hours instead of not being able to drain experience at login.<ref>[[Post:Login Experience Drain - 03/12/2015 - 21:32]]</ref>

==Bonus experience pools==
During [[experience 3.0]], when skills were combined, the "lost" experience bits were moved into the bonus pools, one for each skillset. When experience is absorbed through the normal method, an equal amount is removed from the appropriate bonus pool and added to permanent experience. This effectively doubles learning rates in the skillset so long as experience remains in the bonus pools.

The metric used is an arbitrary unit, a multiple of the amount of bits that it takes to move a skill from 0 to 200 (60,300 bits) plus the number of ranks any remaining bits would teach. As an example:

{|
|<pre>Your Lore pool could fill 14 empty skills to 200 ranks and one empty skill to 57 ranks.</pre>
|}

===Syntax===
To view how much experience is left use {{com|experience}} {{tt|bonus}}. When there is no longer any experience left, you will receive the message "You do not have any experience in your bonus pools."

To toggle absorption, use {{tt|experience bonus toggle}} ''<skillset>''.

CUTHALION: The Scouting skill is in field exp group 10 with the other guild skills

{{RTOC}}
:''For the game command, see {{com|experience}}.''

[[Experience]], often abbreviated '''exp''', is the general term for all of the [[skill]] learning your character has attained.

In [[DragonRealms]], your ranks in a skill are increased by using it. This is called training. The amount of experience gained from any action is scaled to the difficulty of that action for your character at that time, and how successful your character is in performing it. It is common for a task that has become very simple or unchallenging to grant zero experience.

Experience can potentially be lost as a consequence of character [[death]], although this can be easily avoided through [[favors]].

==Ranks==
Gained [[experience]] is measured as whole-number increments called "ranks." As your experience drains from your experience pool for a particular [[:Category:Skills|skill]], your learning is converted into ranks. Your ability in a skill is measured by the number of ranks you have attained in that skill. Additionally, there are skill requirements for advancing in circle (or character level) within a guild. Finally, gaining ranks in skills grants [[Time Development Points|TDPs]], which can be used to raise your stats.

''Note:'' It is generally considered OOC to engage in explicit discussions of numerical stats or skills. (Role-players may also object to the term "ranks.") When discussing skill via IC channels, the most conservative approach is to use the [[Experience#RP_messaging|RP messaging]], reserving numerical discussions for whispers and private messages. See [[Out of Character]] for additional information.

The amount of effort required to move up one rank in a skill can be measured in bits. Through analysis of the output of the {{com|CONVERT}} command it was possible to reverse engineer this relationship between ranks. Your next rank in a skill will be reached after you have gained 200 + n bits, where n is the current rank. This means to go from rank 0 to rank 1 in a skill you will need 200 bits, to go from rank 1 to rank 2, you will need 201 bits, and so on. By summing up the number of ranks you can determine how many bits it will take to reach a current level.

The graph and table below show the total number of bits needed to reach a specific rank from 0. This graphic demonstrates the relative difficulty to climb ranks. For example, to go from 300 to 400 ranks takes roughly the same number of bits as going from 0 to 200 ranks. Going from rank 1,000 to 1,500 requires approximately twice the number of bits as going from 0 to 1,000.

===Maximum rank===
Ranks are capped at 1750. Once you hit 1750 ranks, you no longer gain experience into your experience pool for that skill and draining experience has no effect. It is possible to have effective ranks higher than 1750 through buffs such as abilities or spells. Self-cast skill buffs are capped at 20%. Third party casts from guild abilities bonusing the same skill with a different ability can extend the buff to 30%<ref>[[Post:Buff_Limit_Expansion_-_04/20/2019_-_12:45]]</ref>. You can see your current buffs using {{com|EXPERIENCE}} {{tt|MODS}}.

===Calculations for Ranks and Bits===
The relationship between bits and ranks can be defined algebraically. In the formulas below ''r'' refers to ranks and ''b'' refers to bits.<ref>[[Talk:Convert_command]]</ref>

[[File:Bits_from_ranks_formula.png]] yields the bits needed to reach a specific rank.

[[File:Ranks_from_bits_formula.png]] yields the rank a number of bits would reach.

==Experience pools and pulses==
===Experience pools===
Every skill has its own individual pool, which fills with field experience as you obtain it. The current amount of field experience in your pool ranges from clear (empty) to mind lock (full).

Factors that determine maximum pool size (in descending order of importance):
#whether the skill is in your primary, secondary, or tertiary skillset
#the number of ranks you have in the skill
#{{stat|Intelligence}} (Note: Break points can be found at 30 and 60 Intelligence, see charts below for more info)
#{{stat|Discipline}} (Notes: Break points can be found at 30 and 60 Discipline, see charts below for more info. Additionally: It was planned for 3.0 to remove discipline from the experience pool effects, but as posted by Socharis on 1/18/13, "...So I looked into this, and Discipline was never taken out - It's not as significant as intelligence, but it definitely increases your <nowiki>[</nowiki>experience<nowiki>]</nowiki> pool size."

==Experience Pool Size==
The amount of bits that can be held in a particular skill can be determined by using the following method:
 

===Base pool size===
1. Find the size of the base bank pool for the skill, where total ranks is x
[[File:Baserankpool.png|left|200px]]
{|class="wikitable"
!Skillset placement!!Formula
|-
|Primary skills||y=(15000*X/(X+900))+1000

|-
|Tertiary skills||y=(10500*X/(X+900))+700
|}

===Experience pulses===
This field experience is gradually converted into actual ranks. When field experience is converted to ranks, it is called a pulse. The size of the pulse is calculated as a fraction of your total pool size. The primary factor affecting this fraction is whether the skill is primary, secondary, or tertiary; higher Wisdom also increases this fraction. However, secondary skills under 50 ranks will drain like primary skills<ref>[[Post:Low_level_ranks,_EXP,_and_you!_-_7/11/2008_-_8:58:48]]</ref><ref>[[Post:Minor_exp_change_-_02/05/2015_-_20:51]]</ref>, and tertiary skills under 25 ranks will drain like secondary skills.<ref>[[Post:Minor_exp_change_-_02/06/2015_-_10:57]]</ref>

!Skillset
!Time to Pulse From Mind Lock to Clear
|-
|Primary||40-60 minutes
|-
|Secondary||50-80 minutes
|-
|Tertiary||70-100 minutes
|}

===Skill Groups===
Skills pulse in groups every 200 seconds, with each group being offset from the previous one by 20 seconds. These skill groupings are arranged by skillset in the order they appear in the experience list in game, with the exception of certain guild-only skills which are located with their historical group. The order and timing of the pulses is fixed, meaning the pulses happen at the exact same time for the same skills for every single player in the game.

|-
|}

==Stats and learning==
Mental statistics have a significant effect on the experience system. Intelligence and Wisdom affect all skills equally and have diminishing returns that are not logarithmically diminishing. (Every TDP spent on these stats provides a benefit.)

*'''{{stat|Intelligence}}''': Maximum size of experience pools
*'''{{stat|Wisdom}}''': Pulse size
*'''{{stat|Discipline}}''': Experience pool size (10% efficiency)

The effect of Intelligence and Wisdom is a percentage and not dependent on how many ranks you have in the skill. The effects of these stats can't be "tested" in an hour. This is something that assists you over the course of your entire career.

On 12/10/2015, GM [[Armifer]] shared some hard numbers on how intelligence and wisdom affect learning.<ref>[[Post:Experience Pool Size - Bug Fix - 12/10/2015 - 19:03]]</ref> Using 10 as the baseline (100%), here is the magnitude of the effect of training those stats:

{|class=wikitable
|-
!Stat!!Value!!Effect (Compared to 10)
|-
|Intelligence/Wisdom||30||112%
|-
|Intelligence/Wisdom||60||121%
|-
|Intelligence/Wisdom||90||125%
|-
|Intelligence/Wisdom||120||130%
|}
"Discipline also increases pool size, at 10% efficacy, thus continuing its trend of doing just a little bit of everything." --GM [[Armifer]]

==Rested Experience System==
Regular Subscribers, Premium Subscribers, and F2P accounts (with a unlock purchased with [[SimuCoins]]) can utilize the Rested Experience System (REXP).<ref>[[Post:Rested Experience System is LIVE! - 02/02/2019 - 14:48]]</ref> When active, this system provides a bonus when field experience is converted to ranks. The actual EXP pools are unchanged, but when you drain experience from the pools it will simply be worth more actual ranks by a factor of 3.

===Summary for Casual Players===
When you type {{com|EXP}} you will see three numbers at the bottom of the screen. An example:

<pre>Rested EXP Stored: 2:25 hours Usable This Cycle: 2 hours Cycle Refreshes: 13:14 hours</pre>

Here's what they mean:
* First number: How much REXP you have banked.
* Second number: How much of the banked REXP you can use before the cycle resets. This can be larger or smaller than you have banked.
* Third number: How long until the second number resets.

'''By design, you don't need to manage anything.''' If the first and second numbers are populated you are ''automatically'' using REXP and your experience pools are draining at the accelerated rate. If you have REXP available the system will use it. More technical information is available in the next section, for those who want to try and optimize their REXP or just want to understand more. For the casual player: just play like you normally do.

The first number, the amount of banked REXP, regenerates automatically when you're logged out or if you're in a state of deep sleep (by typing {{com|sleep}} twice).

The max capacity of the first and second numbers are determined by your subscription type:
{|class="wikitable"
! Subscription !! REXP Capacity !! Notes
|-
| F2P || None ||
|-
| F2P || 2 hours || With the purchase of a Brain Boost from the SimuCoin Store.
|-
| Standard || 4 hours ||
|-
| Premium || 6 hours ||
|-
| Platinum || 8 hours || 8 hours in the Platinum instance only. 6 hours in Prime/TF.
|-
|}

===Technical Information===
There are three mechanical components to the system: pool cap, usage cap and cycle. Information about these features is available in the EXP command.

*The pool cap is how much rested exp you can have banked on your character at any time. Simple enough. At this time, the pool cap depends upon your subscription type. Standard accounts will be able to bank up to 4 hours of REXP. Premium accounts will store up to 6 hours, and in the Platinum instance the pool can hold 8 hours. This time will accumulate after 5 consecutive minutes of not draining experience. This is whether offline, online without any EXP in your pools, or with the help of deep sleep. The rested experience pool is filled at a rate of 2:1 (for every 2 minutes of not draining experience, 1 minute of rested experience is earned).

*The usage cap is how much rested exp you can use. For now, regardless of how frequently you fill the storage cap, you can only use up to 4/6/8 rested experience during one cycle (dependent upon account type).

*The cycle is how long it takes for the usage cap to reset. After 23:30 hours your usage cap will refresh and you can spend additional rested exp. The timing of the cycle is personal rather than universal: it starts when you, personally, do something with the rested exp system and then runs its course.

In addition to changes to how experience is converted under REXP, a modification to the sleep verb was provided. In "Light Sleep" you will stop gaining new experience but continue to drain experience from your pools. You will use REXP in this state. In "Deep Sleep" you will not gain experience NOR will you drain experience. Your REXP is not used, and you will start to accumulate time in your rested experience pool again.

Each time one of the 10 skill groups drain that has experience in it for any single, or multiple skills, 20 seconds is removed from your REXP time. If a skill group pulses and there isn't any experience in any of the skills for that group the 20 seconds remains. This makes it possible to focus on specific skill groups and stretch out the REXP time for any targeted skills in them. For Example, if you are only training skills in 5 of the 10 skill groups, your REXP time would take twice the amount of time to be used up. 4 hours could be 8 hours of focused training, or 6 hours could be 12.

A final note: [[RPA command|Roleplaying awards]] are multiplicative, and stack with REXP drain. For optimum gains, use any RPAs during your REXP time.

==Experience drain at login==
Experience drain at login is based on when you last logged out of the game. Starting at 30 minutes, you will drain a percentage of your experience equal to the number of minutes that you have been logged out divided by 360 (or 480 if you received a warning within the last six months).

When you're logged out, experience drains at a static rate, regardless of skillset placement, ranks, or stats. Technically, the experience doesn't actually pulse until you log back in. Previously, if one were to log in then log out before the pulse it would reset the timer. With the addition of Rested EXP, this is no longer true.

{|class=wikitable
|-
!Time Logged Out
!%Pulsed (Clean)
!%Pulsed (Warning)
|-
|30 minutes||8.33%||6.25%
|-
|1 hour||16.67%||12.5%
|-

|-
|6 hours||100%||75%
|-
|7 hours||100%||87.5%
|-
|8 hours||100%||100%
|}

*'''Note: [[Free to play]] players do not receive offline drain without a pass from the [[Simucoin]] store. See [[Idle experience drain]] for more details.'''
*As of 03/12/2015, players who have received a warning within the last six months drain over eight hours instead of not being able to drain experience at login.<ref>[[Post:Login Experience Drain - 03/12/2015 - 21:32]]</ref>

==RP messaging==
Ranks in each skill are numerical. However, there is also a role-playing system of nomenclature set up for skills, to make it easier to integrate into game-play.

__NOTOC__

==Description==
The hierophant is nothing more than the befouled remains of a fallen priest, corrupted and turned to do the bidding of a false deity. The creature is entirely shrouded in tattered black robes, concealing all about it but its vague shape.

==In Depth==
===Special Attack===
A sinister Maelshyvean hierophant surges with a bloody crimson aura as a writhing ebony tentacle lashes out of its robes and strikes out at you!

The barbed tentacle coils viciously around your left arm, crushing bone and ripping flesh with a good strike!

===Spells===
*[[casts spell::Venom (spell)|Venom]]
*[[casts spell::Strange Arrow]]
*[[casts spell::Huldah's Pall]]
*[[casts spell::Shadow Web]]

===Items Carried===
*some {{cloot|i|tattered black robes}}
*a {{cloot|w|bloodwood staff capped with an upturned claw of obsidian}}

===Cap Summary===

Simple summary: This creature caps at about 650-700. Detailed summary caps are below:

Evasion basically stops at 700-720

Shield/armor still exp slows at 720

Stealth exp slows at 700 and stops at around 720.

Weapons slow at around 625 and stop at 700.

You can hit them with 350-400 in TM and Debilitation magic, but you have to raise your 'spell integrity' high due to their natural immunity to spells (evil).

A good suggestion is to have all mental stats to at least 60. Their spells will kill you quickly if they hit you and usually will result in a stun.

Compared to other creatures of similar difficulty, these creatures have high parry ability, making it more difficult to hit with melee weaponry.

==Description==
Only the biggest, baddest boars are chosen to serve as the official mascot of the Gor'Tog clan that takes its name from the ferocious creature. This specimen is no exception, and it looks especially nasty now that it has returned from the dead to wreak havoc upon all who tread across its sacred home field. About the size of a grizzly bear and just as hairy, the smelly swine tosses its meaty head around in a battle gesture to fully display its two humongous tusks. Foam drips from the beast's mouth at the mere thought of impaling the next oblivious trespasser.

===Special Attack===
An enraged tusky bellows a battle squeal, plunging its massive tusks into the earth and spraying dirt everywhere! The possessed beast rises up onto its haunches, pounds the air with its front feet and thunders back onto all fours with rabid determination. The tremendous force of its hooves colliding with the ground shakes you to your very core! 
You manage to stay on your feet, unfazed by the tremor.

The '''[[race is::orc|Orc]] Clan Chief''' is a leader amongst the orcs, who have occupied a section of the [[Mistwood Forest]] outside [[Rossman's Landing]]. Orc Clan Chiefs only show up rarely in the area, perhaps once an hour or so and are much more challenging than the other Orcs typically found, [[Orc Raider]]s and [[Orc Reiver]]s.

__NOTOC__

==Description==
Small, thankfully unidentifiable black creatures crawl around in the orc clan-chief's greasy grey hair. With fastidious personal habits of a [[peccary]] in a mud-pit, the clan-chief stops from time to time to pick one of the insects off his scalp and pop it into his mouth, smacking his lips greedily as he chews. Standing no more than a hand's width higher than the average [[human]], the clan-chief's musculature is considerably more dense, with thick bones and an almost ape-like curve to its skull.

==In Depth==
===Hunting Info===
*Using its greatsword, the Orc Clan-Chief attacks from '''pole range''' as well as melee.
*Body Type: Biped
*Attacks: Claws, Pounds and Weapons
*Weapon Caps: 425 ranks to ??? ranks

===Area Information===
The Orc Clan-Chief can appear on any of the three levels of the Manor House in the Orc area. Using a Warhorn to LURE in the manor results in an extremely heightened spawn rate of Clan-Chiefs.

*About the Area: The manor is broken into 2 separate zones. The first floor has leather wearing raiders and chain wearing reivers. The second and third floor are a separate area, containing only orc raiders wearing chain. The first floor is easier than the second floor, and second floor raiders award more experience. Clan-chiefs spawn throughout the manor, in an extremely rare instance, and seem to show up far more frequently when they're the first creature to spawn/you're walking in to the manor with nobody inside currently. They don't appear to be much harder than the raiders, and also wear chain.
*Raiders spawn 3/hunter in the area and the second and third floors are considered the same area.
*Tier 1 Raiders are much easier than stated here. I hunted these and Young Gryphons at the same time and left for Misshapen Germish'din at about 380 defenses. These are a nice step up from the Orc Reivers found outside the manor. 12/10/2016

__NOTOC__

==Description==
Part of a collective legion that functions as the sword-arm of corrupt demigoddess [[Maelshyve]], the cinder beast is a hulking beast in the vague form of a man with unnaturally frightening musculature and covered in glistening metallic-red scales. Stout ebon spines run down its neck, back, and arms. Sizable tusks jut from beneath its fearsome maw. It towers a few feet above even the tallest Gor'Tog, dwarfing you further with a pair of talon-tipped black wings that spire skyward from behind its back. Gruesome ebon claws adorn its thick arms and legs, each tined with three individual spikes.
A radiant green glow burns furiously within its deep-set eyesockets, illuminating its slavering blood-drenched maw.

==In Depth==
* Soft cap at 550 (Very slow)
* Hard cap at 625 (Stand Still)

===Special Attack===
They may explode upon death. [[Protection from Evil]] and [[Ethereal Shield]] spells ward off the explosion.

Uses a special attack in order to get out of any type of stun. This occurs almost immediately upon being stunned, however, they retain their off-balanced state. If the beast is knocked prone, it will return to a standing position as well.

A Maelshyvean cinder beast releases a violent roar as a blood-red cinder sparks within the green glow suffusing its eyes. Flames rapidly wash outward, consuming its platemail-like scales and leathery wings like brittle parchment. Its now-skeletal figure drops to its knees as its bellowing grows to an unbearable, cacophonous din.

The beast raises its claw to the sky in a final gesture of supplication to its mistress Maelshyve as the flames erupt in a whirling dance around it!

==Description==
The swamp troll is a tall, ungainly humanoid-shaped conglomeration of branches, leaves, mud, and foulness... or at least that's all that's visible. Rumor has it there is flesh and bone beneath the plant matter, but if so, it's probably even uglier than the crud that covers it.

==In Depth==
===Spells===
Swamp trolls can cast:
* [[casts spell::Arc Light]]
* [[casts spell::Ethereal Shield]]
* [[casts spell::Sure Footing]]

===Special defense===
*Immune to stunning.

===Equipment/Loot===
*a {{cloot|w|maul}}.

High parry. Barb with 150 2hb, 24 agil, dancing Wolverine only gets through their parry maybe 1/4 of the time.

As of 8-16-2015 You can comfortably fight 4 of them with around 200-205 in defenses depending on guild and abilities. Their hits are not very strong, but when mixed with their spell abilities can be frequent at lower skill levels. Mixed with Small Peccaries which are slightly more skilled and hit harder.

8-11-2018: Appears to cap evasion at 240. With 2 trolls at melee, evasion sits at 0/34.

7-7-2020: Could not resist the arc light stuns with 25 in Stamina, Discipline, and Strength. Raised Stamina to 30 and Discipline to 28 and now resisting every time.

Cannot use the HUNT verb in either area.

===Skill Notes===

===3.1===
Learning rate slows at about 140 and drops to dabbling around 150 ranks but still teaches up to at least 181.

Lots of light hits in the low 100's but evens out to occasional by the time 120 ranks of defense is reached.

Hard to hit before 100 weapon ranks but train well once 110 or so is reached.

115 skinning will destroy most skins with arrange all. 
144 skinning will net superior/nearly flawless skins with arrange all. 
152 skinning will give perfect skins with arrange all. 

Conviction trains well until 180 when it completely stops.

==Description==
Covered in wrinkled grey flesh, the grave worm resembles a large slug. It is only a superficial similarity, however, since slugs lack the ringed mouth of sharpened teeth as well as the exoskeleton-encased hind quarters and vestigial limbs that this monstrosity has. A foul stench rises from the worm, the source no doubt the disgusting dripping mess that runs off its form.

__NOTOC__

==Description==
From a species of flesh-eating plant known to inhabit some of Elanthia's less-explored forests, the morah creeper resembles a thorn vine, with its tapering body and razor-like leaves which cover it like plate armor. The reddish tip of each leaf should have indicated to you that this was a dangerous plant, but now that you are close enough to look at it, may the gods preserve you in your attempt to get away with your life.

==In Depth==
[[Morah Vine]]s summon Morah Creepers. They do this often. 
''The morah vine shivers a peculiar cadence along its length, and is answered almost immediately from the nearby vegetation. 
''A morah creeper slinks out of the foliage to join in the hunt!

===Special Attacks===
Morah Creepers can coil about your body, causing wounds but dealing very minor damage to your vitality. This attack is difficult to avoid, expect to become very scratched up if you begin hunting here without high protection armor or damage reduction abilities.

===Special Defenses===
*{{com|appraise}} {{tt|CAREFUL}} info: NONE. However, see area information.

==Special Attacks==
Copperhead vipers spit venom as a ranged attack. If it hits, it will do nerve damage.

==Loot==

==Description==
The sand sprite is a lithe, agile creature with pinkish skin and long, fine golden hair. Her wild, sea-green eyes flash mischievously as she tries to wreak havok on all that cross her path.

==In Depth==
===Skill Levels===
Need 50 defensive average to start hunting. Rather safe at 60. 
Need 50 overall ranks in melee weapon to hit. 
Offensive soft caps at 70. 
Targeted Magic hard caps at 86. 

Evasion soft caps around 73. 
Hiding soft caps around 75. 
Locksmithing trains well into 90's. 

===Messaging===
'''Room Movement Messaging:''' ''A sand sprite skips west, sea-green eyes flashing as she glares in your direction.'' 
'''Death Messaging:''' ''A sand sprite slowly falls to the ground, moaning in despair, shuddering in pain before taking her last breath.'' 

Sand sprites will advance on you extremely quickly (skipping pole range).

===Special Attacks===
Casts [[casts spell::Tingle]]. 
''The sand sprite grabs a handful of sand and gestures at it, charging it with electrical energy!'' 
''Giggling childishly the sand sprite throws the sparkling sand towards you!'' 
Note: This is easily resisted if you are fighting them at-circle. 

===Training===
Sand Sprites are excellent for learning combat skills and [[Locksmithing skill|Locksmithing]], making them a popular rung on the training ladder. In addition, they are found just two rooms away from a city ([[Ratha]]) and they have a phenomenal spawn rate.

===Equipment/Loot===
a {{cloot|i|kelp dress}} 
a {{cloot|w|coral knife}}
*Boxes require a minimum of roughly 40 ranks of Locksmithing (with a lot of patience and struggle), with 65 considered "at level." Expect an average of 1,500 lirum per box, with rare jackpot boxes possible. Example: 
<blockquote>
''In the driftwood strongbox you see a large clear diamond, a huge yellow diamond, some copper coins, some bronze coins, a silver coin, some gold coins, some platinum coins, a huge russet sapphire, a huge lilac opal, a huge smoky clear star-stone, a huge moss-green emerald, and a huge yellow-green alexandrite.'' 
Total net worth was 5 plat in coin and 35 plat in gems.
the rate that a box with more than a few gold will drop is close to 1 in 500 boxes took months of farming to get a jackpot box
</blockquote>
*40 rank "minimum" in locksmithing means that, while success is possible, you will still frequently fail to disarm these boxes, and encounter difficulty in opening them. 45 + buffs recommended to start.

==Description==
Appearing to be the curious cross-breed of a [[goblin]] and a [[kobold]], the malodorous bucca hops about with an untamed maniacal glint in its eyes. About three feet tall and slight of build, the malodorous buccas are most noted for their yellow teeth, foul disposition and above all their horrendous stench. A wild mane of black air drapes its body like a thick coat, partially wrapped in the tattered remains of clothing that dangle from its shoulders and waist. The malodorous bucca is well known for its trickery in the mines they tend to call home, causing sometime tragic accidents when their desire to cause mayhem and chaos get the better of them.

==In Depth==
Malodorous Buccas used to be known as Malodorous Tommyknockers.
 
Occasionally, when they are killed they will explode. This does no damage, but will cover people in the room with slime that will periodically drip off them.
 
Boxes are slightly more difficult than [[Faenrae Reaver]]s; as survival tertiary, they require about 45 ranks.
 
They still teach tactics at 89 ranks. Does not move off clear at 91. Defending (64) and Parry (65) do not move past dabbling. Maybe creatures have a defense skill cap and an offense skill cap?

About two feet high at the shoulders, this tawny, spotted cat is drawn standing with its back arched and one paw lifted. Ruffs of hair beneath its tufted black-tipped ears give the creature's face a wide appearance. A note at the bottom of the chart cautions that the felines have been known to take prey eight times their own weight, which they cache to feed on at their leisure.

__NOTOC__

==Description==
Thin and dark black in color, the small boggle is a member of the Fae, its body composed seemingly of sticks and stones, its head round and bulbous and quite out of proportion with the rest of it. Perhaps the imagery that comes to mind when you gaze upon the foul mischief-maker is that of a rotten gourd ready to burst stuck onto the top of a beanpole with stick-like arms and legs and joints of pebbles. Known for its malicious tendencies -- including leading children or sheep into wells or spoiling milk before it has left the cow's udders -- the boggle is notorious for practical jokes that leave the victim confused, frustrated, and frequently dead.

==In Depth==
Created by [[Idon]]. 
Skill range: can handle 2 with average 35 in shield/evasion. Weapons won't go past dabbling at 50. Hard cap TM <51

===Equipment/Loot===
*Boxes are easy at 30 ranks of Lockpicking & Disarm. Had almost no difficulty with boxes at 25 ranks.

*A great bridge between goblin boxes and sand sprites. Boggles and Kobolds spawn rapidly together and both drop boxes frequently. Much easier to farm than wood trolls or grendels.

Looking like nothing so much as a ill-bred cross between a bat and some sort of diminutive lizard-man, the S'lai are a vicious breed of nocturnal cave-dwellers. The Scout's furry, reptilian head sits atop a dark, scaly torso which in turn is covered with a slight coat of dark hair. Two stubby legs, lizard-like in appearance, end in a pair of wide feet, each equipped with four long, bony toes. Its arms are more humanoid-looking, covered in a dense layer of dark fur from its shoulders down to its monkey-like paws. Perhaps the oddest aspect of this S'lai's appearance is its vestigal pair of webbed, bat-like wings which protrude from its shoulders.

Although made from paper, the origami ''<creature>'' looks like it's been hardened by the magic, making it much stronger and more durable than if it were simple paper.

==In Depth==
Origami creatures are the first shock-free huntable creature for Empaths. New empaths that have future plans for combat should train their skills to about 15 on an introduction critter (e.g. rats or louts) BEFORE joining the Empath guild. Afterwards, they can hunt origami creatures without shock.

Instead of becoming cut and bruised, they become torn and crumpled. 

Defense soft cap around 55 Hard cap for armor is right at 70 - Weapons slow in the 30 to 40 range 
Stealth trains to 60+ 

Pretty much harmless to anything in armor. 
The ones outside the swarm area are now easier than the ones in the window. 

*Note: In order to use brawling maneuvers, Empaths (and only Empaths) must type BRAWL to turn off the deterrent. Typing BRAWL again will turn the brawling deterrent back on.

== Hunting Area ==
The paper mill appears to have distinct regions with their own spawn mechanics. The rooms closest to the entrance (Northern Trade Road) have the slowest spawn. Spawn rate appears to increase deeper into the mill, with the last two rooms through the window being the swarm rooms.

== Empath Weapon Mastery Overtraining ==
Because of the significant gap until the next huntable construct, and because of the difficulty of casting Absolution for new empaths, origami creatures are a great candidate for Weapon Mastery overtraining. This involves training as many weapons as possible in the hunting grounds, but leaving as soon as [[Melee Mastery]] and [[Missile Mastery]] are mind locked. Return to origami creatures only when the weapon mastery skills are reasonably drained.

As long weapons skills are below 30, a character will continue to learn weapon mastery skills even if the weapon mastery skills are beyond the skill cap for the creature. However, if all weapon skills are at the creature cap, then no more mastery can be milked from origami creatures. Thus the need to "conserve" learning and leave as soon as weapon mastery skills are mind locked.

An empath can continue to train origami for quite some time for mastery skills through this method, and bypass the lack of viable hunting options. The next target creature after origami for empaths would be [[Endrus serpent]]s near Leth Deriel. The serpents require about 70 defensive ranks to hunt safely, which means your weapon mastery skill will need to be a bit above that to hit them with your low weapon skills coming out of origami. Training earlier on [[faenrae reaver]]s is also possible, but difficult because [[wind hound]]s are not considered undead, and will cause empathic shock. At early ranks, without an avenger, the room quickly becomes unbalanced as the reavers are killed off and the hounds remain.

In the meantime, Empaths can train defenses and empathy (via manipulate) past origami creature cap on the following nearby creatures: [[grass eel]], [[beisswurm]], and [[blood wolf]].

There are several creatures BEFORE zombie kobolds and origami creatures that empaths with Absolution may hunt. See the [[Empath_hunting_ladder]] page for more information.

== Variations ==
Colors: Black, Grey, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, Silver, Striped or White 
Shapes: Bird, Cow, Dragon, Duck, Goblin, Grasshopper, Hat, Mouse, Sprite, or Yak

== Recall ==
Coming in many different colors and sizes, these strange creatures are simply folded origami projects that have been animated by an outside source. They are typically found in old shops, paper mills and occasionally gathering spots where completed projects are discarded. 

Once attributed to be creations of the mad toy merchant [[Hobglup]], this theory has since been discredited by his death. These are sometimes rumored to be fueled by anger at being abandoned by their maker, although more practical theories say that they are animated by a mage of some sort.

==Description==
The hierophant is nothing more than the befouled remains of a fallen priest, corrupted and turned to do the bidding of a false deity. The creature is entirely shrouded in tattered black robes, concealing all about it but its vague shape.

==In Depth==
===Special Attack===
A sinister Maelshyvean hierophant surges with a bloody crimson aura as a writhing ebony tentacle lashes out of its robes and strikes out at you!

The barbed tentacle coils viciously around your left arm, crushing bone and ripping flesh with a good strike!

===Spells===
*[[casts spell::Venom (spell)|Venom]]
*[[casts spell::Strange Arrow]]
*[[casts spell::Huldah's Pall]]
*[[casts spell::Shadow Web]]

===Items Carried===
*some {{cloot|i|tattered black robes}}
*a {{cloot|w|bloodwood staff capped with an upturned claw of obsidian}}

===Cap Summary===

Simple summary: This creature caps at about 650-700. Detailed summary caps are below:

Evasion basically stops at 700-720

Shield/armor still exp slows at 720

Stealth exp slows at 700 and stops at around 720.

Weapons slow at around 625 and stop at 700.

You can hit them with 350-400 in TM and Debilitation magic, but you have to raise your 'spell integrity' high due to their natural immunity to spells (evil).

A good suggestion is to have all mental stats to at least 60. Their spells will kill you quickly if they hit you and usually will result in a stun.

Compared to other creatures of similar difficulty, these creatures have high parry ability, making it more difficult to hit with melee weaponry.

__NOTOC__

==Description==
Part of a collective legion that functions as the sword-arm of corrupt demigoddess [[Maelshyve]], the cinder beast is a hulking beast in the vague form of a man with unnaturally frightening musculature and covered in glistening metallic-red scales. Stout ebon spines run down its neck, back, and arms. Sizable tusks jut from beneath its fearsome maw. It towers a few feet above even the tallest Gor'Tog, dwarfing you further with a pair of talon-tipped black wings that spire skyward from behind its back. Gruesome ebon claws adorn its thick arms and legs, each tined with three individual spikes.
A radiant green glow burns furiously within its deep-set eyesockets, illuminating its slavering blood-drenched maw.

==In Depth==
* Soft cap at 550 (Very slow)
* Hard cap at 625 (Stand Still)
* High perception: Backstab at 350 is ineffectual most of the time with 400 hiding/stalking
* Able to learn skinning at 240 ranks and start get occasional skins at 250 ranks.
* TM slows considerably after 500 ranks.
* Debilitation & Tactics still effectively learning after 550.
* Able to open their boxes with effective agility 78, with 250 ranks locksmithing.

===Equipment/Loot===
WARNING: The Cinder Beasts' equipment is cursed. 
a {{cloot|a|black visored helm}}, some {{cloot|a|black steel gauntlets}}, some {{cloot|a|black steel full plate}}

a {{cloot|w|heavy black steel morning star}}, a {{cloot|s|battle-worn black steel tower shield}} 
a {{cloot|w|heavy black steel broadsword}} 
a {{cloot|w|gruesome black steel pike}}

===Special Attack===
They may explode upon death. [[Protection from Evil]] and [[Ethereal Shield]] spells ward off the explosion.

Uses a special attack in order to get out of any type of stun. This occurs almost immediately upon being stunned, however, they retain their off-balanced state. If the beast is knocked prone, it will return to a standing position as well.

A Maelshyvean cinder beast releases a violent roar as a blood-red cinder sparks within the green glow suffusing its eyes. Flames rapidly wash outward, consuming its platemail-like scales and leathery wings like brittle parchment. Its now-skeletal figure drops to its knees as its bellowing grows to an unbearable, cacophonous din.

The beast raises its claw to the sky in a final gesture of supplication to its mistress Maelshyve as the flames erupt in a whirling dance around it!

==Description==
The basilisk is a great, fearsome lizard with dusky midnight-blue scales. Four powerful legs ending in brutal hooked claws keep it perched low to the ground, making it fast despite its large size. A thick, muscular tail barbed with sharp stiletto-like spines protrudes behind it, lashing back and forth menacingly.

Foreboding coils of smoke rise from its nostrils, snaking off into the air.

slice, claw, bite, lunge, tail whip

===Area Information===
The lesser dusky-scaled basilisk lives in murky caverns beneath the [[Zaulfung]]. The entire area is full of water and requires swimming. It is also a maze with directions going to unexpected rooms, but the maze is stable and not changing. The basilisk shares parts of this area with [[Maelshyvean Shadow Beast]]s.

The greater sluagh is a foul-smelling, foul-tempered, foul-looking beast that makes a mother-in-law seem positively angelic. Seven feet tall, musclebound, and wearing some kind of ragged, odiferous hide over its own none too lovely grey skin, it stares with bloodshot eyes and an evil leer. It is a living creature rather than an undead one, though you can't imagine it being any uglier or meaner were it undead.
It seems much more intelligent than the [[Lesser Sluagh|lesser]] variety, looming with a greater strength, and moving deftly about with agile precision.

==Description==
===Alive===
Starlike silver eyes twinkle amidst a cloak of shadows so dark that the creature before you seems to be made of the essence of night itself. The lithe beast resembles something canine in nature, although it appears more nimble than strong. Slender sabre-like silver fangs protrude from its maw, and tendrils of inky black mist exude from its nostrils as it breathes.

===Dead===
When it is killed it reverts to its natural state of being "a wild marsh hound".

A lesser shadow hound whispers its last raspy yelp as its stark silver eyes wink out of existence amidst its cloak of shadows. Soon the cloak itself rapidly unfurls, leaving nothing but the broken body of a mundane wild marsh hound behind.

The wild marsh hound lies still on the ground, beaten beyond recognition. The proud canine is now but a mere shattered husk of its former glory.

==In Depth==
===Attacks===
*Claw: a lesser shadow hound rips its vicious scythe-like shadowy claws at you.
*Bite: a lesser shadow hound leaps in rage, its gleaming silver fangs barred at you.

===Special Attacks===
'''Shadowy Cloud:''' Cloud hangs in room and causes anyone in the area to develop [[Damage#Disease|Fleshrot]] (potentially contagious infection).
: '''Messaging'''
:: >A lesser shadow hound growls low barring its vicious fangs, a looming fog of shadows billowing from its twisted maw. 
:: >The shadowy cloud churns outward, exuding billowing curtain of sickly black mist that drifts outward toward you... 
:: >A thin layer of black mist blankets you, coating your skin with a sticky black grime. A cold sweat breaks upon your forehead as an icy chill races through your veins. 
:: >LOOK: You also see a looming shadowy cloud. 
:: >The shadowy tendrils churning outward from a looming shadowy cloud fall limp to the ground, dispersing in a final skiff of sickly ebon mist.
:: >HEALTH: Your body is covered in open oozing sores.

The cloud can be rebuffed (potentially only partially) by [[Protection from Evil]] 

'''Unknown:''' A lesser shadow hound tosses its head back and howls a discordant dirge! 
: >The shadows making up the lesser shadow hound begin to churn and swirl, making it harder to pinpoint its location accurately.

===Area Information===
The [[Zaulfung]] is an ever-changing low water area where you have to wade through every room. Look for a "curving path" to return to [[Riverhaven]] or look for a "sickly tree" to climb [[RanikMap31a|further into the swamp]].

==Description==
The lesser sluagh is a foul-smelling, foul-tempered, foul-looking beast that makes a mother-in-law seem positively angelic. Seven feet tall, musclebound, and wearing some kind of ragged, odiferous hide over its own none too lovely grey skin, it stares with bloodshot eyes and an evil leer. It is a living creature rather than an undead one, though you can't imagine it being any uglier or meaner were it undead. 
Kind of makes you wonder about the [[Greater Sluagh |greater ones]], doesn't it?
==In Depth==
Only spawns at night.

==Description==
The dyrachis is a six-legged burrowing beast about the size of a yak. When it feels threatened, it can inflate air sacs beneath its skin to display its long sharp quills glistening with poison -- and then use that air to fire the quills with great force.

==={{ilink|i|dyrachis anatomy chart|Anatomy Chart}}===
The spiny dyrachis is a six-legged beast about the size of a yak. The creature's feet are wide, each of its three toes splayed, and it stands on the page in a stubborn, immovable posture. The dyrachis' head resembles a cross between a bull and a sheep, though its mien is mulish and cantankerous. The author notes that when it feels threatened, the dyrachis can inflate air sacs beneath its skin to raise its long, sharp, poisoned quills -- and then use that air to fire the quills at its foes with great force.

==In Depth==
Dyrachis are large, porcupine-like animals. Rarely hunted, they are prized for their quills, which make fantastic ammunition for [[Telekinetic Throw]]. Dyrachis do not engage, and remain passively at range. If one Dyrachis is threatened (or simply FACEd), all Dyrachis in the room will fire quills at the attacker. You can safely hunt Sluagh's amongst the Dyrachis as long as you do not pester them.

===Equipment/Loot===
It is wearing nothing! 
It is carrying nothing!

===Special Attacks===
A spiny dyrachis bristles menacingly, puffing itself up to enormous size.

A spiny dyrachis grunts, sending a sharp quill hurtling through the air at you! 
The dyrachis quill whistles through the air, completely missing you!

On death (If inflated)

===Skill Notes===

===3.1===
Learning rate slows at about 140 and drops to dabbling around 150 ranks but still teaches up to at least 181.

Lots of light hits in the low 100's but evens out to occasional by the time 120 ranks of defense is reached.

Hard to hit before 100 weapon ranks but train well once 110 or so is reached.

115 skinning will destroy most skins with arrange all. 
144 skinning will net superior/nearly flawless skins with arrange all. 
152 skinning will give perfect skins with arrange all. 

Conviction trains well until 180 when it completely stops.

Small, thankfully unidentifiable black creatures crawl around in the orc reiver's greasy grey hair. With fastidious personal habits of a peccary in a mud-pit, the reiver stops from time to time to pick one of the insects off her scalp and pop it into her mouth, smacking her lips greedily as she chews. Standing no more than a hand's width higher than the average human, the reiver's musculature is considerably more dense, with thick bones and an almost ape-like curve to its skull.

A red bear paw has been tattooed on her shoulder, identifying her as a member of the [[member of::red bear clan]] of [[race is::orc]]s.

==Description==
At first glance, you think boar but when you see the peccary in full you realize this is a different animal entirely. However like the common boar the tiny eyes and massive snout are caged behind two mean-looking curved tusks. Its startlingly white lips contrast sharply with its dark grey almost black hide.

==In Depth==
Extra Dangers: Charge attack from pole range.
 
Notes: The Mriss Mountain Trail area spawns 3 bristle-backed peccaries per hunter.
 
Still dabbling in evasion at 390. Highly recommended as a gap trainer after genis if you're having trouble handling Orc Raiders. Also, Empath Manipulation will train empathy WELL into the 400s, so this is also a highly recommended creature for empaths to hunt.

__NOTOC__

==Description==
Smaller than a standard gryphon, the forest gryphon has the body of a bobcat with its fluffy bobbed tail and plush tawny fur, while soft brown and white feathers cover the forequarters and wings. The creature's cat-slitted orange eyes are flecked with crimson veins around the pupil. The dark brown wing feathers have a silvery sheen to their quills for a graceful sparkling effect.

==In Depth==
*Cannot be knocked down.
===Special Attacks===
These gryphons have a knock-down attack which they can use at any range.

These gryphons can cast [[casts spell::Swirling Winds]].
