Usage

Once activated, the knackstone grants a passive 5% skill boost, 10% bonus exp drain, and prevents experience loss upon death for the skill it has been TURNed to. The knackstone does NOT need to be worn to retain these benefits. Every cycle the knackstone will also give a boon (like REXP bonus, or increased dropped gem value etc). The boon will be one of three. You can RUB the knackstone to see what the next one could be, out of three possible. You would then WHISPER to the knackstone to add your "vote" to increase the chances of a specific one.

• STUDY: Checking it over, you believe you could TURN the heraldic knackstone to develop a knack for a certain skill. You could also RUB the knackstone to sense future boons you could influence, and you could WHISPER to the knackstone to cast your influence towards one of those future boons if you haven't already done so.
• RUB: As you rub the surface of the heraldic knackstone, you are alarmed by a tenuous connection to the webs of fate that makes your stomach churn.  Cautiously, you believe that a period of bountiful blessings approaches, but you are unable to decipher the exact boon. As best you can tell, it could be bonus gem value from creatures, bonus coins dropped from creatures, or bonus crafting prestige.  The connection is severed just as quickly as it was forged, leaving you momentarily off balance. [If you haven't already, you may WHISPER MY KNACKSTONE {1, 2 or 3} to attempt to influence that particular future boon becoming a reality.  You may only do this once per cycle, so choose carefully!]
• TURN KNACKSTONE:

You must select a valid skill to attune your knackstone to.

[Usage: TURN KNACKSTONE TO <SKILL>]

• TURN KNACKSTONE TO <SKILL>:

You settle your senses upon a heraldic knackstone and feel it subtly resonate with your intent.

[Are you sure you want to use the heraldic knackstone to develop a permanent knack for <skill>? If so, repeat the command within the next 30 seconds.]

• ANALYZE KNACKSTONE:

Unlocks:

After a **four-week activation cooldown**, an infuser stone may be applied to reset the heraldic knackstone's chosen skill knack. The use of a potency crystal will permanently reduce this activation cooldown duration by one week.

The knackstone has been upgraded 0 time(s), and it can be upgraded 3 more times.

Recharge Info:

An infuser stone can be applied to the heraldic knackstone to reset your skill knack whenever the knackstone is not currently on cooldown.

Infuser stones cannot be used on the heraldic knackstone at the Hollow Eve festival grounds. Instead, you may TURN the knackstone to reset your skill knack once every thirty minutes here.

You can't tell anything else about a smooth heraldic knackstone melded seamlessly with polished nacre-bone shavings.
