Fate's Fortune's Games

2022-12-11T17:35:18Z

KYRE-RELLIM: /* Additional Information */ Fixing the prize link.

{{RTOC}}
This is a [[Simutronics]] run paid [[quests|quest]]. Tickets are purchased with [[SimuCoin]]. This event was released in 415 (February 2015).

==Official Description==
Once they were respected by craftsmen, artisans, merchants, and even nobility. Their network of associates sprawled throughout the known lands, and occasionally beyond. [[Vanassa]]'s deft hand guided the [[Estate Holder Council]] for decades, creating a powerhouse of influence that only reinforced their ties with trade and development.

Vanassa retired from the day-to-day duties, trusting in the knowledge the other Council Members had acquired over the years to continue guiding the organizations efforts to the benefit of all. That trust may have been misplaced. When disaster struck the merchant fleet, the Council botched the search and recovery efforts, leaving the 'lucky' survivors stranded in the wilds now known as [[Fang Cove]] for years!
In the wake of their missteps, the remaining Council members have grown quiet, and their once vast network has crumbled. Merchants have spoken with contempt about broken promises, and some have sworn to never work with the Council again. Yet still, in far corners, words of hope and encouragement can be found.

Rumors say that Vanassa has reached out personally in an effort to begin restoring the faith that was lost. None claim to have seen her directly, but such is the way of rumors. It's always a friend or a relative that had the sighting. Whether it truly is Vanassa or not, SOMEONE has quietly organized a festive gathering of games and special prizes. The whispered tales claim the gathering will be along Fang Cove's Fate's Fortune Lane, but there's talk of a special guest list.

What's the purpose of this gathering? How long will it remain? Is the Council truly trying to restore its credibility, at long last? Maybe the answers can be found among the games and happy visitors. Would you like to find out?

==Event Information==
The staff of DragonRealms is proud to announce a NEW type of adventure! 
Using the [[Simucoin]] store and the newly added pass mechanics, you can now visit this special area of [[Fang Cove]] (even non-Premium subscribers!) to play games, collect items and visit with friends whenever you want, day or night! There's no need to coordinate a particular time and date through the box office! 
Fate's Fortune's Games will include the RANDOM appearance of special [[alterers]], contests and more! Given the short-term duration of the pass and the area's being open 24 hours a day, we can't promise any of these will happen while you personally visit. However, we'll do our best to send some kind of notification either in-game or via our social media (see NEWS 1 13!) when something special is happening! Some merchants may wish to surprise current visitors, so there may not always be a heads up! 
To participate, follow these simple steps: 
1) Visit the Simucoin store and purchase a Fate's Fortune's Games ticket. 
2) Use SIMUCOIN DELIVER in game to claim the invitation. 
3) Seek out the uniformed representative located next to the [[Meeting portal|Wedding Portals]] (see NEWS 4 1 for locations). You must be standing with one to activate the pass, so you don't lose any time! 
4) Activate your pass (via the REDEEM verb) and ASK REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT ACCESS. 
5) Play games and have fun while the pass lasts! You can always get more to keep playing! 
Games are more fun with more players, so be sure to bring some friends along! You can gift, sell and trade the invitations in game! Don't forget to take plenty of Dokoras with you for the games!

==Additional Information==
* This is a copy of the Fang Cove area, if you travel via the mammoths or portal to the real Fang Cove, you won't see the games.
* Wherever you ask the representative about access at is where you will be returned when your time is up. Likewise, if you run out of coins or need healing, you can use the archway to get back to where you came from for a bank run!
* At least one of the games can be deadly -- the mechanics should work like [[Hollow Eve]] and allow you to keep your coins when departing. When you depart, it's a fast (and safe!) trip back.
* Go forth and have fun! There are several games to play, and their odds and prices change from time to time. There's several hundred [[Fate's Fortune's Games/Prizes|potential prizes]], and many that are unique (they won't be copied). There's also a cage of wrangled [[Clockwork Assistant|clockwork assistants]] you can hunt to claim the top spot from [[Pitmaster, The|The Pitmaster]]!
* Live events are a possibility -- we may take a little time early on to observe and make sure things are working properly, but if we bring in alterers, special games, [[Fate's Fortune's Raffle Center|raffles]] or other activities, we'll try to give a heads up!
* The original post for this release can be found [[Post:Rumblings in Fang Cove - 02/14/2015 - 17:05|here]].
* While you are on the quest, you can check the current amount of time you have remaining by doing an INFO. You'll note a new line in the display, for example:
: You have 1 active purchase:
: Fate's Fortune's Games, expiring Mon Feb 16 10:10:49 ET

=Games=
Not all games are available at all times, and the costs of games can change from 500 to 10,000 Dokora. The amount a game costs at a particular time determines your chances of getting a higher tier [[Fate's Fortune's Games/Prizes|prize]] (but all games are always capable of giving a higher tier prize).

Hollow Eve Festival 443/Aiding the Merelew

2022-11-27T17:43:57Z

KYRE-RELLIM: /* Leaderboard */ Adjusting with the most recent version of the leaderboard.

{{RTOC}}

'''Important Notes:'''
* A Hollow Eve ticket is '''not required''' to participate in the tasks or earn (most) rewards.
* Access to Hollow Eve '''is required''' to access the [[Seat of Unification]] to redeem the faction movement reward.

==Unstable Ripplegates==
To reach the Stone Rotunda, where Arbiter Ceryaen and the [[:Category:Merelew factions|Merelew factions]] are, someone who has already obtained an {{ilink|i|Simple ecosphere|ecosphere}} must {{com|RAISE}} it to open a gate. This will create a ripplegate that will open for 5-10 minutes that anyone can use. It takes 1 hour in Prime, 30 minutes in Plat or TF for this magic to replenish, so there may need to be some planning or coordination in these early days as others who don't yet have them acquire theirs. If you DID lose or give away your ecosphere, a replacement can be purchased from Shadow Forger Zentham for 500 plat.

Opening: ''With a gurgle, a pool of water quickly bubbles up from the ground and lifts into the air. It begins to spiral, like a whirlpool turned on its side, forming an unstable ripplegate.''


Closing: ''Whatever magic held the ripplegate is no more. The cohesion is lost, and it collapses into a rapidly drying puddle.''

==The Stone Rotunda==
{{RoomDescription
|roomname=Stone Rotunda, Gathering Hall
|desc=The circular room is massive and contains several tiered balconies reaching towards the dome overhead. Here, on the ground level, the space is open with only a rectangular stone table at its heart -- a centerpiece viewable from the countless elevated seats in the galleries above. Numerous tanks containing bioluminescent fish, corals and other sea-life line the walls, providing ample illumination for the chamber. 
You also see a turbulent ripplegate, Arbiter [[Ceryaen]], Form Shaper [[Vestaet]], Transmuter [[Zaenen]], Preserver of Balance [[Kixfa]], Opportunity Broker [[Petret]] and Aluna's Protector [[Iaxet]]. 
Obvious exits: east.
}}

{{RoomDescription
|roomname=Stone Rotunda, Alcove
|desc=Set in a back corner of the chamber, the alcove contains a solid ripplegate that gleams with the light from the tanks set along the walls. The water spirals in an endless loop with the force of a waterfall. The mist surrounding the portal conceals whatever lies beyond it. 
You also see a Trickling Sun [[leviathan ecologist]] who is sitting and a substantial watery ripplegate. 
Obvious exits: west.
}}

==Ceryaen Tasks==
Arbiter [[Ceryaen]] can randomly assign you the following tasks. Declining a task results in a ten minute penalty until you can ask for another one. Use {{com|TASK}} command to see these details anytime after you receive a task.

===Perceive Aura Task===
Arbiter Ceryaen leans on her trident as she says, "The great spider exploded in the seas many years ago, now, yet its effects are still lingering and corrupting our depths. Pieces of it are no doubt washing ashore in your own lands at this point and being dispersed more widely by nature's many servants."

She continues, "The Life Mages of the [[Trickling Sun]], thanks to the resources and sway they carried after your previous efforts, have spent quite some time developing a means of sensing the patterns of this lingering corruption. I can teach this technique to you, if you are willing to assist us. It is an extension of one's attunement to the mana streams -- fear not if such skill is beyond you. Our artificers have developed a tool that can also reveal the auras."

Ceryaen asks, "This is the task set before you. Will you accept?"

====Mission====
Ceryaen inclines her head and says, "Our thanks." She reaches out and touches a webbed hand to your forehead. A green halo forms, making you wince at the intensity, but it quickly dissipates.

Arbiter Ceryaen says, "{{com|PERCEIVE}} the mana streams around you, and seek the <color> patterns revealed through this technique. When you locate one, {{com|SEARCH}} the area until you uncover the corruption and see to its disposal. Return to me when you have purged <number> or more of these. You may yet find them upon Andreshlew's shores or your own, or even the depths between us."

====Walkthrough====
You must walk around to different rooms using {{tt|Perc}} to perceive different colors of aura in each room. When you find a room that has the aura color you have been tasked with finding, simply {{tt|SEARCH}} until you successfully find the debris. This may take several search attempts. If you {{tt|Perc}} and are told that you are unlikely to learn anything further here, it's because you have already {{tt|Perc}}'d that area, and need to move a few rooms away to try again. You can look at rooms through the task ripplegate, or you can leave the task area completely and search around areas with lots of rooms, like Crossing.

Example result from {{tt|Perc}}: ''Employing the technique Ceryaen imparted, you perceive blotchy white mists here and blotchy pink mists below you.''

Completing this task will occasionally also reward you with a {{sloot|i|glassy ebon gedirdavu amulet}}.

Each 10% of the game population sees each room as a different color. It's a combination of character info (unique) + room info.

===Dolphin Training Task===
Arbiter Ceryaen observes the coming and going of adventurers of all walks of life as she shifts her weight from foot to foot. At last, she says, "There are many of you, and no doubt most will be visiting Andreshlew proper in the days and weeks to come. The Trickling Sun members have been occupied with the lingering corruption issue, and few have been able to prepare the dolphins for their great travels. The waters between you and us are vast, and only the best should be trusted to carry you landwalkers to us."

Ceryaen continues, "If you are agreeable, I am certain we can advise you in the necessary techniques to train and prepare one of the dolphins for what's to come."

====Mission====
Arbiter Ceryaen nods to a pool nearby. "When you are ready, enter the pool and the training shall begin. The dolphins are eager to show you the seas, and they can be quite swift. Guide them to steer them far away from obstacles that could pose a threat to them or their passengers. 8 obstacles should suffice for the dolphin we've selected for you. If you prove particularly inept, we shall recall you and the dolphin and you may try again with a new pairing."

Ceryaen leans in and whispers quietly, "Pay no mind to the onlookers. They may be taking bets on your success or failure, but we have no doubt you'll survive the trials ahead. If you wish to give up, however, you may {{com|SNAP}} at any point, and you will be returned here."

====Walkthrough====
From the room with Arbiter Ceryean, {{com|GO}} {{tt|POOL}} to begin this task. The task will begin automatically. You will be given a series of messages about what to do to help your dolphin avoid various obstacles. Once you have avoided the correct number of obstacles, you can {{tt|SNAP}} to be taken out of the task area, or you can continue to avoid obstacles to attempt a personal high score. Your score will be given to you when you emerge from the task. If you fail enough obstacles in a row, you will automatically be removed from the task.

===Purge Horrors===
Arbiter Ceryaen says, "Much progress was made during previous landwalker visits, and yet more still by our own kind in the years since, in putting down the beasts angered and corrupted by the great spider's passing. Still, there are horrors in the depths that must be dealt with, if you are willing. Be cautious of the Voidgazers should you encounter them."

====Mission====
Arbiter Ceryaen taps her trident upon the stone floor for no reason you can discern. At last, she says, "This is a simple task, and you need no special training or knowledge. Seek 7 of the horrors that yet remain and put them to rest."

====Walkthrough====
Move east from Ceryaen to the [Stone Rotunda, Alcove]. There, you can {{com|turn}} the '''substantial watery ripplegate''' to the zone with the creatures you'd like to hunt. Once in that hunting zone, kill the number of creatures required, and return to Ceryaen.

Zone options:
{|class="wikitable"
|-
! Zone
! Mobs
|-
| Escarpment || [[deeplight fish]], [[decomposing Merelew]]
|-
| Tidal Flats || [[deeplight fish]], [[rockclaw lobster covered with algae tufts]]
|-
| Kelp Forest || [[deeplight fish]], [[nacre-plated Torbisan decapod]]
|-
| Abyssal Depths || [[deeplight fish]], [[rockclaw lobster covered with algae tufts]], [[nacre-plated Torbisan decapod]], [[decomposing Merelew]]
|-
| Leviathan's Rest || [[ambulatory coral reef with labyrinthine grooves]] '''Note:''' Only one spawns in this zone at a time.
|}

'''Please note:''' The starting rooms appears to all be above water, but all rooms following that are underwater, so be sure to have [[Air Bubble]] or a strong lung capacity to survive in those depths! ({{ilink|i|Simple lemicule wand|Air Bubble wands}} are sold in [[Fang Cove]], at [[Ocan's Bait and Tackle]].)

When completing this task, you will get a barnacled metal box, which is trapped/locked and contains some extra gems/coins, and the occasional {{sloot|i|glassy ebon gedirdavu amulet}}.

==Ecologist Tasks==
===Leviathans===
====Mission====
The leviathan ecologist says, "The leviathans are ancient beyond our ken, even young Zemmunhu. They are naturally steadfast explorers, and though it's hard to imagine they've left anywhere unvisited, Elanthia is ever-changing. Furthermore, there are places in the depths that might stymie and distress even a leviathan! We Merelew already do what we can to help, but we're stretched thin, and you may have better luck. Accompany a leviathan and remove any obstacles from its path. Ask me again if you wish your party to go."

====Walkthrough====
While in a group of 2 people, the group leader has to {{tt|ASK ECOLOGIST ABOUT PROBLEM}} twice to begin the mission. You will be escorted as a group to one of several locations of about 5-6 rooms each. {{tt|Tap}}/{{tt|rub}}/{{tt|invoke}}/{{tt|touch}} the ball to have [[Air Bubble]] cast on you. You may need to return here to refresh the spell. After some intro text, you will hear the ecologist say "Merciful Aluna..." This is your cue to move around the area and find either the shark or the Drogor avatar (it is the same mob, but it can swap between the two). Fight and kill the avatar, and make sure to loot it. This task rewards 50+ renown.

==Rewards==
The maximum amount of faction standing you can earn per task is 15, and the maximum amount of Kronars is 75,000. (7.5 plat). The amount you earn is based on how much work you do for the task, even if you're not explicitly asked for that amount. For example, you will earn 7.5 plat Kronar if you complete 25 obstacles on the dolphin course, even if you're only asked to complete 10 obstacles.

===Actions Needed for Max Rewards===
Even though you'll be asked to perform fewer actions than these per task, you can continue your task to reach the maximum amount of coin and standing rewards.
*Aura Task: 15 auras purged
*Dolphin Task: 25 obstacles cleared
*Kill Task: 20 mobs killed

===Standing Rewards===
After completing some tasks (you will need 25 standing), {{tt|ask}} [[Ceryaen|{{tt|Ceryaen}}]] {{tt|about}} {{sloot|i|simple ecosphere|{{tt|ecosphere}}}}.
* '''You will only be given one ecosphere: do not lose it.''' (A replacement can be purchased from [[Zentham|Shadow Forger Zentham]] for 500 platinum Kronars.)
* As you continue completing tasks, {{tt|ask Ceryaen about ecosphere}} again to {{ilink|I|Ecosphere dangling from a braided chain|'upgrade' it}}, until she tells you it can no longer be upgraded.
* Once you have standing stored in your ecosphere, you can {{com|show}} {{tt|ecosphere}} to the Merelew representative for the [[Merelew_factions|faction]] of your choosing. Your faction choice will determine the title you earn from completing tasks.
* You can also {{tt|ask Ceryaen about standing}} to learn about your unpledged and pledged standing.

If you show your ecosphere to a second faction, your standing with your current faction will be reduced by half. This makes it impossible to max your standing with more than a single faction at a time.

{|class="wikitable"

Once you have enough standing with your faction, {{tt|ask <faction leader> about standing}} and you will be given a {{sloot|i|pendant of chitin scrimshawed with a symbol|pendant of chitin scrimshawed with the symbol of your faction}}.

''<Merelew representative> hands you a pendant of chitin scrimshawed with the symbol of the <faction name>. She solemnly says, "This is a great gift, <name>. It is a gift of the seas, but also unique to you and a symbol of the respect the members of the <faction> have for you. It may seem simple, but it may also be of use to you in future visits. Treasure it if you might return to us some day. Do not ask for another if you lose it, for it is equally as disrespectful as asking for another ecosphere."''

''A scrimshawed pendant reads:'' 
''"Earned by <name>, visitor to Andreshlew and friend of the <faction name>. 439 A.V."''

*300 rep in a single faction is enough for the title.
*600 rep in a single faction is enough for the pendant.
*900 rep in a single faction is enough for the last ecosphere unlock & to gain access to your faction arch in the [[Seat of Unification]]. May not need to put 900 points in just one faction, vs all factions total if you're splitting your faction gain.

===Ecologist Rewards===
In addition to the rewards earned from gaining standing with the Merelew, the leviathan ecologist hanging out in the Stone Rotunda will offer three ''additional'' rewards to anyone who has completed the leviathan mission at least once, recently.

Though you can gain more standing from the leviathan mission than from Ceryaen's tasks, you can mostly stick with the latter if you're afraid of leviathans!

The additional rewards:
# The title [[Title:Leviathan Friend|Leviathan Friend]], unlocked after reaching 1,200 standing.
# A tiny cage containing a [[coralite-armored guardian cuttlefish]] [[:Category:Ephemera|ephemeron]], which is earned at 1,500 standing.
# An Ecosphere unlock for faction-specific movement messages.
#* This has a dual requirement of a shared standing of 1,800 (the sum of all the standing you have ever earned, regardless of where it is pledged), and faction-specific standing (as you need to be able to access each faction's room at the [[Seat of Unification]]).
#* You can collect all five of these movement styles if you want! (This '''requires access''' to the [[Seat of Unification]] area which is on [[Andreshlew]] inside the [[:Category:Hollow Eve|Hollow Eve]] festival grounds. It takes 900 standing in a faction to be able to access it.)

This means that, while non-festgoers can obtain the title and the ephemeron, '''the final reward is only available to those with a Hollow Eve ticket'''.

====Title====
The leviathan ecologist peers at you keenly, as if trying to remember you. She reaches for your hemispherical ecosphere and closely inspects it. At last, she says, "Ceryaen has tallied your deeds in service of the Merelew at [number]."

The ecologist says, "We shall know you as a [[Title:Leviathan Friend|Leviathan Friend]], [name]. It is no small thing." She chortles to herself. 
[You've unlocked a new title! It can be found in the [[:Category:Event 2 titles|EVENT2 category]]!]

====Ephemera====
The ecologist hands you a {{sloot|i|tiny ayabere cage}}. She says, "Here's a little friend for you, [name]. Take good care of it. You will not get another."

====Faction Movement====
The ecologist says, "The touch of the leviathans opens the way to one more gift. Take your ecosphere to the [[Seat of Unification]]. {{tt|Invoke}} it in the places of the factions you support."

Concept:Elotheans

2020-04-22T13:32:51Z

KYRE-RELLIM: /* Racial Statistics */ Changing the link to Discipline to link directly to the stat, rather than the catch-all term.

{{#concept:[[race is::elothean||elotheans]]}}
{{RTOC}}[[image:elotheans.gif|200px|left|Male and Female Elotheans]]

==Play.net Description==
{{Pt|race}}The [[Dragon Priest|Dragon Priests]] insisted that Elotheans are really just a race of half-Elven peoples, a theory the Elotheans themselves vehemently deny. "Our religion tells the truth," says one Elothean historian. "From the very thought of the gods was our race born. We remain their favored children!" 
 
Knowledge is exalted by the Elotheans, stupidity and ignorance intolerable. Elotheans prefer to go the route of peace rather than force, justifying this by pointing to the wars past that almost cost them their entire species. Logic and honor are prized, and their highly structured and hierarchical society's heart lies in the capital of [[Ilithi]], the city of [[Shard]], where the [[Ferdahl]] and the Ten Houses -- to one of which nearly all Elotheans belong -- reside.

==Character Creation==

The Elothean figurine begins to speak, words soft and serene: "I am Elothean. Some call us half-[[Human]] or half-[[Elf|Elven]], but our religions tell us the truth. From the thought of the gods was our race born, and though others would want it otherwise, we remain their favored children. Our will is powerful, our skills in magic and knowledge the most exalted of all the races. We are agile when needed but we prefer to use our minds instead of force. Our paths are the ways of magic, scholarship, and lore. Calm and studied are we, neither hasting or wasting, we pursue our goals logically and skillfully." 
 
The Elothean stands tall and thin with large eyes that drink in every detail, examining you, weighing you, appraising you, knowing more about you, perhaps, than you yourself know. There is a sense of control about this one. A sense of well-managed power.

Scholarship skill

2020-04-19T23:40:52Z

KYRE-RELLIM: /* Teaching Supernatural Skills */

{{RTOC}}

Scholarship is used to more effectively teach and learn from being taught. It is also used to determine how much information you can obtain from the [[Recall command]]. It may also have some other benefits especially for [[Moon Mage|Moon Mages]] and [[Bard|Bards]]. 
 
The following guilds have circle requirements in scholarship:
*[[Empath]]
*[[Moon Mage]]
*[[Warrior Mage]]
*[[Paladin]]

==Spells and abilities that boost Scholarship==
{{#ask:[[Boosts::Scholarship skill]]
|?guild association is
|format=ul
|headers=hide
|default=None
}}

==Spells and abilities that decrease Scholarship==
{{#ask:[[Debuffs::Scholarship skill]]
|?guild association is
|format=ul
|headers=hide
|default=None
}}

==Teaching==

'''Teaching''' is the art of conveying concepts and ideas to others in such way as to improve the students' ability in the subject being taught.

===Class size===

Student size is now as many as will listen in to the class. Scholarship ranks will impact how well one teaches, but virtually anyone can teach any class regardless of skill in the topic or scholarship skill.

===Factors That Affect Experience Gained From Classes===

*Scholarship ranks
*[[Charisma (stat)|charisma]]: the bonus is linear
*[[Intelligence (stat)|intelligence]]: the bonus is linear
*[[Wisdom (stat)|wisdom]]: plays a small role; the bonus is linear
*whether the teacher and student belong to the same guild
*whether the teacher and student are of the same race
*The Bard spell [[Faenella's Grace]] boosts scholarship and reduces the time between teaching pulses.
*For purposes of experience earned for teaching a class, only one F2P character in the class will count regardless of the number of F2P characters in the class.
 
Room-based bonuses to teaching were removed on 4/4/2015.<ref>[[Post:Teaching Updates - 04/04/2015 - 16:04]]</ref>
:"They were extremely inconsistent and poorly implemented anyhow, so I doubt this will have any practical ramifications, but I'm including it for the sake of transparency. (It gave bonuses based off key words in the name of rooms for example...)" --GM [[Raesh]] (4/4/2015)

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Magic users can teach each other at normal efficiency, as can Barbarians teaching Barbarians and Thieves teaching Thieves. Between magic users and non-magic users, the class is least efficient. Classes between Barbarians and Thieves are at the mid-point. 
<nowiki>**</nowiki>When teaching [[Primary Magic skill|primary magic]], if the teacher and student are attuned to different frequencies of mana, the student will learn [[Sorcery skill|sorcery]] instead of primary magic. This does not trigger justice like an actual Sorcery class does.

===Teaching in Combat===

As of 4/4/2015, all guilds can teach only the following skills in combat<ref>[[Post:Teaching Updates - 04/04/2015 - 03:44]]</ref>:
*[[Armor Skillset|all armor skills]]
*[[Weapon Skillset|all weapon skills]]
*[[Debilitation skill|debilitation]]
*[[Warding skill|warding]]
*[[Targeted Magic skill|targeted magic]]
*[[Evasion skill|evasion]]
*[[Tactics skill|tactics]]
*[[Barbarian|Barbarians]] can teach [[Expertise skill|expertise]] to fellow [[Barbarian|Barbarians]].
*[[Thief|Thieves]] can teach [[Backstab skill|backstab]] to fellow [[Thief|Thieves]].
*[[Paladin|Paladins]] can teach [[Conviction skill|conviction]] to fellow [[Paladin|Paladins]].
*[[Scholarship skill|scholarship]] can be learned by OBSERVING any class that can be taught during combat.
 
'''While teaching during combat only''', "the rate of learning will depend on the lore skill set placement of the teacher."<ref>[[Post:Teaching Updates - 04/04/2015 - 03:44]]</ref> 
 
It is by design that [[Bard|Bards]] can no longer teach any skill in combat.
:"I was asked to even out the teaching perk to all lore primaries instead of benefiting just Bards." --GM [[Raesh]] (4/4/2015)
:"Learning even more skills while in combat is the reverse of what we want to be encouraging." --GM [[Raesh]] (4/4/2015)

===Invisibility/Hiding===

The teacher must be visible in order to teach all but the following skills:
*[[Backstab skill|backstab]]
*[[Perception skill|perception]]
*[[Scouting skill|scouting]]
*[[Stealth skill|stealth]]
*[[Thievery skill|thievery]]

===Teaching and the Justice Mechanics===

While in a [[Justice|justice]] zone:
*Teaching or listening to [[Thievery skill|thievery]] or [[Sorcery skill|sorcery]] will result in a charge of aiding and abetting unless both the teacher and student are in hiding.<ref>[[Post:Teaching Updates - 04/04/2015 - 16:04]]</ref> 
*Teaching [[Sorcery skill|sorcery]] will result in a charge of [[Justice|forbidden practices]].

==Training Scholarship==

The following activities teach scholarship:
*teaching a class of any subject
*listening to any class
:*Teaching a class on scholarship is now wasteful, since any student can convert any ongoing class to his own personal scholarship class by using {{com|listen}} {{tt|to [player] observe}}
*reading books at a [[:Category:Libraries|library]]
*reading guild [[:Category:Renown scrolls|renown scrolls]]
*reading primers for [[Prayer Beads|bead carving]]
*studying [[crafting]] books
*studying art
*studying instructions for [[origami]]
*studying patterns for [[embroidery]]
*studying spellbooks
*studying [[anatomy charts]] (also teaches [[Empathy skill]] to Empaths and [[First Aid skill]] to all guilds)
*using the {{com|Recall}} command
*reading enchantment scolls (Moon Mages only)
*studying trading ledgers (Traders only)

Magical research

2016-01-25T05:28:11Z

KYRE-RELLIM: /* Options */ - Consistency Edit.

''This page is about magical research. Follow the link for information about [[Necromantic research]].''
{{Incomplete | Needs research/symbiosis [[Magical research#Messaging|messaging]].}}
{{RTOC}}
There are two types of magical research: Research and Symbiosis. These were introduced as part of [[Magic 3.1]] and use the same base mechanics as [[Appraisal skill#Appraise Focus|{{tt|Appraise Focus}}]]. Therefore, you cannot do appraise focus and magical research at the same time.

Research projects are completed in portions between 30 and 300 seconds. Each portion is started with: {{com|RESEARCH}} {{tt|<project> <duration>}}. When the sum of all completed portions hits the required time, your project is complete.

The scenarios in which you will find yourself needing to use magical research to train are:
*Your guild does not have a high level spell to train a specific magic skill efficiently (e.g. locking a magic takes longer than 15 minutes of chain casting)
*To get the bonus from a symbiosis
*To guarantee of mindlocking a skill
*Training the Sorcery skill without memorizing a spell scroll or using runestones

==Research==
Research-type projects rely on the use of the [[Gauge Flow]] spell and give an instant lock of (or split experience among a group of) any magic skill after completion.

#Cast the [[Gauge Flow]] spell. The amount of mana put into the spell will affect time necessary for researching.
#Start a Research project by performing {{com|RESEARCH}} {{tt|<type> <duration>}} (e.g. {{com|RESEARCH}} {{tt|UTILITY 300}}).
#:Use {{com|RESEARCH}} {{tt|LIST}} or see the table below for the types of research.
#Continue the Research project by doing {{com|RESEARCH}} <duration> until complete. You can use {{com|RESEARCH}} {{tt|STATUS}} to see how far along you are on your project.
#When the project completes, you will receive a message regarding your breakthrough. Experience for research is only awarded upon completion of research.
#:Note: Some research projects, marked with an asterisk in {{com|RESEARCH}} {{tt|LIST}}, are inherently dangerous and may result in [[Sorcery#Backlash Effects|sorcerous backlash]] upon completion.

==Symbiosis==
Symbiosis-type projects increase the difficulty of a spell that is prepared with a symbiosis, thereby increasing the spell's learning potential for that cast. This also gives the spell an additional effect which can alter the skills the spell trains. For example, using a symbiosis that adds a skill buff will cause a spell to train Augmentation in addition to any skills it normally trains if it doesn't already.

#Complete a Symbiosis research project using the steps above.
#*From this point on you do not need to do symbiosis research again unless you die, cancel your research, or wish to change symbioses.
#{{com|PREPARE}} {{tt|SYMBIOSIS}} to start the metamagic.
#Successfully cast a spell.
#See your message about a bonus.

Not all symbiosis increase the difficulty of spellcasting equally. In order from smallest to largest increase in difficulty, they are:
*Skill boosting symbiosis
*Chaos symbiosis
*Stat boosting symbiosis
*Warding symbiosis (unreleased - the most recent proposal is that symbiotically cast spells will grant the caster/target a ward effect in addition to the spell's normal effects)

''Note'': It is possible to use the Chaos symbiosis without researching it. Every character automatically has access to this as a default. The Chaos symbiosis only increases the difficulty of a spell and does not add any additional effects. This does allow a magic user to cast a spell that would normally be below their current skill level and still learn from it.

==Notes==
*Putting more mana into the [[Gauge Flow]] cast reduces the time needed for a research project, up to 20% at maximum mana.
*[[Arcana skill]] is required to learn Research-type options. Fundamental can be researched by everyone. Chaos is free for everyone and does not need to be researched.
*[[Magical feats]] unlock Symbiosis. Each feat is tied to a skillset. There is an Arcana skill requirement for each feat.
*You need to be able to cast a spell above minimum prep to use it with a symbiosis, since the symbiosis will increase the difficulty of the spell cast.
*''Research is not designed for very low-level characters.'' It is primarily used to extend training for very skilled characters when using spells they can otherwise cap, and to manage Attunement costs when training for moderately skilled players.

==Messaging==
===Start===
*[Research] You tentatively reach out and begin manipulating the mana streams, testing their give and the amount of energy coursing through them.
*[Symbiosis] You start to research <option> symbiosis.

===Pulse===
*[Research] You continue to flex the mana streams.
*[Symbiosis] You continue to research <option> symbiosis.

===Portion Completion===
*You make definite progress in your <option> <Research/symbiosis project> and decide to take a break. However, there is still more to learn before you arrive at a breakthrough.

===Portion Abandonment===
If your project is interrupted (see [[Magical research#Other actions during research|Other actions during research]]), you forfeit all progress made for that research period. For example, if you were researching Warding for 300 seconds and are interrupted 259 seconds in, you lose all progress made during that period. You can also choose abandon a portion with {{com|research}} {{tt|cancel}}.
*Distracted by your devices, you forget what you were researching.
*Distracted by your spellcasting, you forget what you were researching.

===Project Completion (Breakthrough!)===
The following messaging appears when you finish a research project.
*[Augmentation Research] Breakthrough! You have woven an Augmentation pattern that had previously escaped your grasp.
*[Fundamental Research] Breakthrough! You have a novel insight into the nature of spellcasting. While it probably won't make you famous, it will surely come in handy with practical magic.
*[Stream Research] Breakthrough! The mana streams dance in front of your magical senses and, at least in their present configuration, you understand the nature of their warp and weave.
*[Utility Research]Breakthrough! You have woven a Utility pattern that had previously escaped your grasp.
*[Warding Research] Breakthrough! You have built a ward with previously unknown cleverness and strength.

===Project Degradation===
If you go too long between research portions, you will forget some of what you have researched.
*As time passes, you forget some of the finer points about your project about <research project>.

===Project Abandonment===
If too long passes without continuing your research, you will abaondon the project entirely. You can also abandon a project by doing {{com|research}} {{tt|cancel}} while you are not doing portion research.
*You decide to stop researching Fundamental Research.
*You have abandoned your research project entirely.

===Prepare===
*[Symbiosis] You recall the exact details of the <option> symbiosis, preparing to integrate it with the next spell you cast.

===Spell Cast===
*[Skill Bonus] Familiar streams of magic blend with the weave of your <spell> spell, and you sense an increase in your knowledge of <skill>.
*[Stat Bonus] Familiar streams of magic blend with the weave of your Ethereal Shield spell and you feel your <stat> increase. 

===Preparation Loss===
*[Symbiosis] You pause for a moment as the details of the <option> symbiosis fade from your mind.
