My Barbarian can only put up three forms in test. He most certainly could put up four prior.

Also, not sure if this is as intended, but in test, all forms give their duration in roisen, instead of 'much longer'.

Firstly, I think guildleaders should be updated to include a ASK [leader] ABOUT MASTERY. I'm a bit confused how one picks up a Mastery; I believe if you've 7 lessons in a given path, you can pick up the mastery? Or is that wrong?

>mastery list
You have not been trained in any Masteries from the path of the Horde.
You have not been trained in any Masteries from the path of the Flame.
You have not been trained in any Masteries from the path of the Predator.

>meditate power
You are currently practicing the Turtle Form and will hold focus of it for 52 roisaen.
You are currently practicing the Monkey Form and will hold focus of it for 71 roisaen.
You are currently practicing the Swan Form and will hold focus of it for 67 roisaen.

So that seems weird.

But with regards to the four forms; I seem to now be able to put up four forms if I do Owl, Monkey, Eagle, and Dragon. So, that's curious; I wasn't aware that there was a skill check on being able to put up multiple forms? I think I must have been putting my passive IF regen below zero with the forms I was selecting, so, mea culpa. I was doing Turtle, Monkey, and Swan, and wager Turtle was pushing me over.

As far as XP gain is concerned, it's a bit annoying to have to put up some forms, wait a minute, drop them, put up some forms again, but it's not remotely difficult to do, especially if you pepper in MEDITATE RESEARCH. My skills in test are:
Inner Fire: 303 76% intrigued (16/34) Augmentation: 294 38% considering (6/34)
Warding: 250 60% attentive (10/34)

Expertise xp is pretty good too; I think if you rotate in maneuvers you'll have a fine time moving it. Still extremely excited for DOUBLESTRIKE.

I'm not really having any problems moving Aug or Warding XP truthfully.

What about not having a mastery but still seeing times for forms?

<<No, players are just more focused on the details since the current crop of GMs has become more transparent.
That is the downside of giving players more information. Players STRESS over numbers until they rage quit.
I'll investigate the Mastery problems tonight.>>

Im gonna spend a couple hours in test today, you need form experience checked? Anything else? Where do I get the masteries in test again?

Do any of our zercs train warding? If not can that be made possible?

- Buuwl

Med research question

So if I med research serenity, then immediately med research swan, should I be getting ticks in warding each time? (because I'm not.)

Is the research timer exp award for anything I decide to research. Also are all "researches" created equal in terms of exp awarded?

No. MEDITATE RESEARCH has a cooldown.

magic exp seems ok on my end.

Inner Fire: 871 02% mind lock (34/34)
Augmentation: 770 09% nearly locked (33/34)
Debilitation: 685 61% enthralled (32/34)
Warding: 636 15% rapt (30/34)

Wish there was a zerc to train warding with, would fill in the gaps nicely. Maybe make flashflood a ward?

Maneuvers don't seem to teach expertise enough anymore in my opinion. Everything else seems fine. For some reason I'm learning parry in prime faster, at least it appears that way. Could just be me thinking this.

Parry Ability: 1251 64.80% thinking - that is in drakes.

- Buuwl

Rather than dig through the test folder, especially after I somewhat recently reread it...

Whats the cool-down timer on maneuver exp for expertise? Just asking so I can test with other characters of different levels. If this is PAFO just let me know and I'll try to figure it out on my own I guess.

I wouldn't mind seeing roars expanded to include aug and warding abilities either. Roars are our only abilities that didn't break the constant exp rule and as such are working as originally intended, AFAIK.

New roars could be set against a static SvS contest for each tier of difficulty then duration and effect determined just like any other roar. There seems to be room in the voice pool to work debil, warding AND aug or at least allow the broader use of the voice pool to supplement the normal exp from forms and zerks. Just please, if this is ever implemented, don't add the group requirement like the war cries of old.

A warding zerc would be cool. After spending time in test forms are kinda meh for training purposes.

Hey Buuwl berserk earthquake trains warding and is my ability of choice for training it. I didnt check it in test but I assume it trains the same. I just wish it cost a bit less as it's pretty expesive.


Codiax.

<<I do wonder if mages have to make similar tough decisions. I feel like a MM or WM gets pretty much every spell at 150.>>

Speaking as MM, it's not even close to getting everything I want at 180th circle. I'm leaving at least four guild spells unpicked, at least three helpful AP spells unpicked, and seven feats I'd really love to have unpicked.

That's a big result of MMs having an excellent and robust spellbook. I can't speak to other magic guilds. I know, for example, necromancers can pick all of their spells pretty easily, but I don't think that will last as their spell development grows.

Does that include teleologic sorcery spells for MMs?

And that's an awesome graph, I really hope that gets saved and updated as things go on Elanthipedia (if not there already).

Yeah, definitely seems off then, as of the last couple slot updates, but it's a good starting point! I'll try and add to the MM stuff as I figure it out.

I'm getting some experience now when I cleave drakes, not sure what was up before.

- Buuwl

I added up the slot lists for each guild's magic page and those lists are probably outdated

yup, necro one is out of date per the recent change of more spell slots req'd for some spells.
