Domain requirements? 04/12/2015 05:30 PM CDT
Anyone happen to know the approximate minimum requirements for summoning a domain? I.e. summoning the domain of the element you are aligned to in an area which doesn't already have a domain.

While we are at it, what is the requirement to change your oppositional alignment?

I think around 500 ranks is when the random number generator will start letting you be successful at it. IIRC, you can start doing it around there if you are persistent enough to push through the random chance of failing. 600 ranks or so should let you do it 100% of the time.

I'm going off of memory of reading other posts here, so take it with a grain of salt, but it should be around that ballpark anyway. E.g. It might be 600 to start having a chance, etc.

Is there a skill requirement? It might be a charge requirement so, effectively a minimum stamina. On a lark I went and attempted this with a character fresh out of the character manager (and wow is that thing ugly these days) and got the unique message that 'the ritual seems hopelessly involved.' So.... that wasn't as informative as I hoped.

That's why I phrased it as just a requirement, and not as a summoning requirement specifically. It could be one or the other, or even both.

So far I'm at 72 summoning, 18 stamina, aligned to Earth with full charge, and unable to summon an earth domain in a domain-less room. I also get, "Try though you may, the ritual seems hopelessly involved," as the failure message. The phrasing of that certainly seems to indicate it would be a skill requirement as opposed to not having enough charge, but that's just conjecture.

This reminded me of something I'd been wondering: does an Air domain override the indoor penalty for tailwind? Or does it only interface with seasonal/weather mods? (not that those really matter anymore)

Just seasonal/weather mods I believe. It doesn't allow you to cast a spell in an area you wouldn't otherwise be able to, and combined with the fact that domains do nothing to alter the mana values, potency, duration, or integrity of a spell, I would assume that applies to the mana requirement of indoor casts of zephyr as well.

My TF WM with ~200 summoning wasn't able to do it.
My other WM with ~500 summoning (haven't played him in a long time, can't check exact ranks) could do it.

I think this got implemented when my mage had 350 summoning and she could do it, but I can only with confidence say less than 380.

Stamina too if not primarily?

I summoned an air domain with 248 in summoning. I will see if I can again next time I go out.

For an opposing domain, yes since its primarily a stamina cost that gates it. The question was just for changing alignment to something other than the default opposition to your chosen alignment, however, which should not involve stamina at all because I think there's no cost associated with it.

yeah, no cost or loss to alignment when you change your opposite, either on purpose, accident, or the no change fail.. I know if you have a little bit and manage to change your positive alignment it tanks it to 0.

I think having a charge might make the opposite harder? Failure seems kind of random when it happens to me.
