Fable : Cardio burns calories from fat, lifting weights brings bulk
'''Appraisal''' can tell you the value of your items, the stats on your equipment, and skills of your opponent and much more.


=Use=
{{com|appraise}} will give you an assessment of something's abilities. {{com|compare}} will give you a relative assessment of two items' attributes.<br>


Appraisal, at least for comparing creatures, is based on base skills rather than factoring {{stat|Agility}}. However, it does take your current {{com|stance}} settings into account.<br>


Fact: Muscle mass is where fat can be burned, train it to adjust to stress plus grow, you might <span class="plainlinks">[http://how2gainweightfast.org/mass-gainers/ <span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;">mass gainers</span>] fat as compared to you ever will doing cardio alone. Cardio is only a supplement in your fat reducing work. And 99% of ALL people today apply it drastically wrong.
When comparing armor, it will give an assessment of the armor's overall maneuvering and stealth hindrance, as well as how hindering it is with everything your are currently wearing after factoring in the relevant armor skill.<br>


Appraisal can also give you an idea of how well you can swim or climb something, and can even provide a bonus to the swim or climb contest on a particularly good appraisal success.<br>


You will begin to see (at first very inaccurate) damage and protection appraisals at precisely 50 ranks.<br>


So many individuals believe that they're able to burn up fat by doing cardio alone, it's not really the truth - not if you wish to look good when you're finished.
You can appraise [[cambrinth]] items to determine their capacity. Appraisal is the primary factor, but [[Arcana skill|arcana]] also contributes to the accuracy. As with weight, holding the cambrinth makes it easier to appraise its capacity.


[[Trader|Traders]] get a bonus to Appraisal.


=Training=
==Item Appraisal==
There are many ways to train this skill. The first way is to appraise items. The quickest way to learn is to appraise something very valuable that has many parts, like a full gem pouch, a really nice bundle, weapons, or armor. If you can't do this, the next best option is to appraise all of your inventory, the more valuable, the better.


Cardio (the slow steady type you happen to be familiar with) has scarcely any true weight loss enhancement consequences. It could raise your rate of metabolism in small increments, however practically nothing as compared to training to raise or perhaps maintain muscle size.
==Creature Appraisal==
The second way to learn is to appraise critters. One can appraise a beast multiple times without regard for a delay between appraisals to quickly learn the ability. Besides being a good way to gain appraisal experience, this is a good habit to develop. It's useful to know in advance how a critter's skill compares to yours.


==Barrier Appraisal==
The third way, possibly of greatest use to new adventurers, is to appraise swimming locations. In a room where a swimming contest is necessary to exit, you can appraise water or direction. It's not clear how well this trains, as a new character can learn very little in the Crossing sewers but very well in the Arthe Dale swimming hole. It may be dependent on water depth and current. You can also appraise climbing barriers, but this seems to teach little or nothing at lower ranks. Successfully appraising a swim or a climb may give you a bonus ("You think you have determined the best route to take") to climbing or swimming the appraised barrier.


==Item Creation==
The fourth way to learn is through the creation process of several items. Usually when you are creating an item you will gain a little appraisal as well when you determine the quality of the item. For example, when braiding grass/vines, you will learn appraisal. Every time you braid you are automatically appraising the item to see the quality of the item. Another example is Moon Mage sigil scrolls, every time you read a scroll you appraise the quality of the scroll. This way is good for learning appraisal while also learning other skills. (In the case of Moon Mage sigil scrolls, you will learn appraisal faster than you will learn astrology or scholarship, but possibly might have a limit. I have tested with 267 in astrology, 241 in appraisal, and 324 in scholarhsip, I am locking appraisal first, then astrology, then scholarship).


It can be actually easy to understand if you wish to start with cardio for the first couple of days to ease back to performing exercises, when you want to do cardio first to get into <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.how2gainweightfast.org/ <span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;">how to gain weight fast</span>], maintain it no more than 72 hrs before you begin a weight training routine.
==Fine Art Appraisal==
Adventurers have the ability to analyze one-of-a-kind stationary artifacts and receive more details than just your standard {{com|LOOK}}. Currently, the [[Raven's Court]] is the only place with this type of {{PRel|Appraise command|appraisal}} available. One must {{PRel|Study command|{{tt|STUDY}}}} a piece in order to learn. STUDYing will teach {{PRel|Appraisal skill|appraisal}} and {{PRel|Scholarship skill|scholarship}}. There are a few levels of success. Everyone should be able to learn no matter what information they see. Naturally, with the highest level of success, the most information will be displayed. {{PRel|Bard}}s and {{PRel|Trader}}s have a bonus, so they should effectively be able to learn better and see more information earlier on.


=Accuracy=
The accuracy of your appraisal depends primarily upon the number of ranks that you have in appraisal. ([[Trader|Traders]] have a bonus.)<br>
<br>
When appraising weapons or armor, the number of ranks that you have in that weapon or armor type affects the accuracy, at least for non-Traders. For example, if you were appraising a claymore, you find it easier to appraise if you had 200 ranks in twohanded edged weapons than if you had only 50 ranks.<br>
<br>
Only when "you are certain" about some property can you be sure that your appraisal is an accurate assessment. Otherwise, the more confident you are about the accuracy, the closer your assessment is to the truth.

The best way to get back into exercise following a long lay off is always to carry out 2-3 full body weightlifting periods weekly, and keep them light to moderate in intensity. When you have gotten through the first 4-6 workout routines, you can begin tactically raising the intensity to ramp your metabolic process and melt away much more fat round the clock.

The values for Damage and Balance/Power were derived from Copernicus' Storebought Guide. Copernicus derived the weapon values through an intensive process of comparing storebought weapons with forged weapons having known values of damage, balance, and power. Some information is still missing or incomplete.

===Hindrance===

The hindrance system is slated for rewrite with armor changes. The rank values are those required to work maneuvering hindrance down to the lowest level.
