Hello!

Today, I have released four new empath renown scrolls. These will be in the P1, P3, P4 and P5 guildhalls.

The new scrolls are split thusly:

P1: empathy
P3: scholarly pursuits
P4: empathic survivalism
P5: offensive skills

The exact skills tracked will remain a mystery for the time being.

The P2 scroll will be released after X3 is released. It will have to do with defensive combat skills. I will probably make a second P4 scroll as well, at that point, having to do with magic skills. Since those skills are getting all changed around, I decided just to wait on those, as I'd likely just have to wipe them when the changes roll in anyway.

Please let me know if you have any questions or notice any bugginess! Special thanks to GM Raesh for helping me out with these. :]

Cool release, thank you!

Cool beans. Thanks Melete!

Neat. Out of curiosity, which guildhall is the P4 scoll in, Ratha or Aesry? Presumably the future second one would be in the other.

Thanks,

>>Amwest: A group of us was trying to narrow down what the "scholarly" one in Shard measured.

1 Sakaya
2 Sarkranis
3 Draffaut
4 Nesra
5 Asrea
6 Katjia
7 Allye
8 Lale
9 Cleen

Wisdom: 50

Vocals: 817
Empathy: 647
Teaching: 588
Scholarship: 587
Appraisal: 477
Mechanical Lore: 283
Animal Lore: 36
Percussions: 6
Total Ranks in the lore skillset: 3441

"PHA = Healer Union. They charge for healing based on your injuries. We will now pause while everyone gives their opinion on this." -- Teilan

>>Asrea: Interesting Sark, I have more ranks in every skill & stat other than vocals, where you have me by over six hundred. My wager is it's overall lore, as you are 300 ranks ahead of me in that via that huge vocal talent.

If Vocals are included in the Shard scroll, those rankings may shift quite a bit after Experience 3.0 is released. (Vocals are not going to count toward Performance unless you're a Bard, and humming won't train Performance.)

>>DR-Melete: The exact skills tracked will remain a mystery for the time being.

Now that the new Empath renown scrolls have been out for a while, would you mind sharing which skills are tracked by each scroll? If the answer is still "not yet," when will this information be released?

I'm inclined to wait until I can release the remaining scrolls.

>>How about a teaser on how the shock rewrite circa March 2009 is doing instead? We're demanding, it's terrible.

It is out of QC and as complete as these things ever are, but it can't be released until the rest of the X3 stuff is complete. Most of those big systems are really entangled. Shock is tied up in all three of the X3 systems(or are there more? I forget!)

It probably still has some kinks to work out, which I hope to do with the help of the test server whenever that is possible.

Oh man. I hope this will prompt test to be opened to all accounts because I would seriously love to go nuts with Inauri. <3<3<3

P1 etc are the abbreviation for the order of release of the provinces.

P1 - Zoluren (Crossing)
P2 - Therengia (Riverhaven)
P3 - Ilithi (Shard)
P4 - Qi Islands (Aesry)
P5 - Forf (Hib)

To clarify P4, the Guildleader moves between the Ratha and Aesry Guildhalls.
