Sigil harvesting is the process of collecting primary and secondary sigils for use in the Enchanting system.

Sigil harvesting is a room based system like the other harvesting mechanics. Each room will contain a primary and secondary sigil determined by its mana concentration, urban level and season. There is no innate randomness to the system, and PERCEIVE SIGIL DISTORT will allow you some control (particularly if you are a Ranger and don’t wish to go into town).

Unlike traditional materials, Sigils do not have a rarity. Instead, they have a clarity (quality) and precision (hardness) that determine how well an enchantment turns out. PERCEIVE SIGIL IMPROVE allows you to play a small minigame in hopes of improving a sigil’s stats prior to scribing it. Though for some this may prove too cumbersome, so you’ll still occasionally crit high quality/precise sigils just out of nowhere. And sigils allow you to scribe them multiple times to keep the grind down a bit. Finally, sigil books let you store and filter your sigils to keep inventory counts manageable.

Technique bonuses and the PERCEIVE SIGIL BONUS and DANGER commands are currently turned off to capture some base statistics, but will be turned on sometime after the wide release of the system.

Basics

It is helpful to purchase an Artificing book and read the 1st page of the 1st chapter to familiarize yourself with the process.

Begin by doing a PERCEIVE SIGIL in the room you want to check. If the area has a possible sigil, you will receive a message that you are beginning your search. Once that roundtime is done, continue to PERCEIVE SIGIL until you receive a message of success for your primary sigil:

In your mind's eye you see the definition of a <type> sigil before you.

Once you have found your 1st sigil, hold a burin and a blank scroll, and SCRIBE SIGIL to collect this one. Additionally, you can continue to PERCEIVE SIGIL until you see a 2nd success message for a secondary sigil:

After much scrutiny you are certain an <type> sigil has revealed itself.

After finding the secondary sigil, hold a burin and a blank scroll, and SCRIBE SIGIL to collect it.

• note: During testing, danger events have been turned off for collection, however on or after wide release, the secondary sigils will have an increased difficulty and danger factor.

Sigil Groupings

The following patterns can be found in locating sigils:

Secondary ascension clarification evolution integration nurture

• A table-formatted list with the crafting properties of each type can be found on the Sigils page or the Crafting Materials page.
