<br />
===Description===<br />
This spell stores [[favor]] in [[gems]], depending on the [[QL]] of the gem, and your current amount of favor.<br />
You need at least 7.5 favor to cast vessel but it will only use a min of 5 [[favor]] on casting.<br />
If the gem is less than 10QL, the gem is not filled but the priest loses 5 [[favor]] and can gain channeling skill as usual and the gem loses 3QL.<br />
<br />
===Method===<br />
# Activate your [[Gods]] [[channeling]] item.<br />
# Right-click a gem.<br />
# Select Spells/[[Vessel]].<br />
<br />
===Using the gem===<br />
# Right-click the gem.<br />
# Select Use.<br />
<br />
If the gem is over 10ql it will lose [[QL]] when you use it, depending on the amount of [[favor]] to regenerate.<br />
You cannot use the gem to store favor when the [[QL]] is below 10.<br />
<br />
===Favor Used to Fill a Gem===<br />
<br />
The amount of favor used to fill a gem with favor completely is the QL plus 5, so a 20QL gem would require 25 favor to fill completely.<br />
<br />
Gems can also be part filled with favor, but once part filled they can not be topped up with additional favor.<br />
<br />
===Favor Stored in Gem===<br />
<br />
''Please note the section is not complete yet as at least one message "It emits some power." and "It emits faint power." has yet to be identified''<br />
<br />
The amount of favor stored in a gem is double the amount used to fill the gem<br />
<br />
Upon examining a gem the ''approximate'' amount of favor stored can be found from the power emitted.<br />
<br />
1 - 50 It emits power.<br />
<br />
51 - 100 It emits quite a lot of power.<br />
<br />
101 - 150 It emits very much power.<br />
<br />
150+ It emits huge amounts of power<br />
<br />
===Example of Storing and Using Vessel===<br />
<br />
Assume that the Priest has 50 Faith and a therefore a maximum of 50 Favor. The priest also has a gem of 25QL<br />
<br />
If the priest had 30 favor and cast vessel on the 25QL gem their favor would drop to 0 and the gem would be completely filled with power, as the favor to completely fill a gem is the QL plus 5 Favor.<br />
<br />
Now the priest, not wanting to wait to regain favor naturally uses the gem at once "You feel a rush of blood to your head as the power from the gem enters your body." the QL of the gem drops to almost 0 and the priests favor jumps up to 50. This is because the amount of favor used to fill the gem (not including the 5 used to cast) is doubled and given back to the priest.<br />

<div>The inventory is where you carry your items, you can open it by pressing {{key|F3}}.<br />
<br />
== Sections ==<br />
[[Image:Tutorial Inventory.jpg|right|thumb|Inventory Menu]]<br />
=== Body ===<br />
The body is where you can place your [[weapon]]s, [[armor]] and other things that you can equip. To equip an item you have to open the relevant part of the body (see below) and drag the item onto it.<br />

<br />
=== Inventory ===<br />
The inventory section holds items you carry, but haven't equipped. It is limited to 100 items like all [[container]]s, but you can keep other containers in your inventory to bypass this limit.<br />
<br />
E.g. you could keep 50 [[string of cloth]] in a [[pottery jar]] and only the jar would count toward your inventory's limit of 100.<br />
<br />
You cannot carry unlimited weight, either. Your carrying capacity is based on your [[body strength]], with the maximum being strength times seven.<br />
<br />
== Inventory concepts ==<br />
<br />
=== Sorting ===<br />
The inventory (as are other container lists) is made up of 5 columns. By default, the inventory appears to sort haphazardly (perhaps by date/time added/aquired but unknown--this is how the inventory will sort as items are added to it). Clicking a column header will sort items by that column. Clicking again will reverse-sort them.<br />
<br />
* '''Name''': Item name (duh)<br />
* '''QL''': Item [[quality]]; higher is better<br />
* '''DMG''': Item [[damage]]; lower is better<br />
* '''Weight''': Item [[weight]] (including the weight of container contents, if any)<br />
* '''i''': Item needed to [[improve]] it<br />
<br />
=== Activating ===<br />
To [[activate]] an item, double-click it. After the item is active, you can start doing actions that require that item. The item will also show up at the bottom of the inventory in its [[status bar]] next to the text '''Active:'''<br />
<br />
Note that equipping an item does not activate it, nor is it necessary to equip an item before it can be activated.<br />
<br />
=== Equipping ===<br />
To equip an item, drag it onto the body part you wish to equip it on. In some cases you might have to remove already equipped items, e.g. if you have something in your left hand and try to wield a two-handed weapon.<br />
<br />
Equipping is for use with weapons, armor, and similar (see the [[#Body|body section]]). It has no relation to activating items.<br />
<br />
=== Taking and dropping ===<br />
Items can be moved around in several ways:<br />
<br />
* Some actions (like [[farming]]) produce items in your inventory, other actions (like making a [[stone wall]]) consume materials in your inventory.<br />
* [[Trading]] moves items between your inventory and another player's.<br />
* Drag and drop can be used to move items between containers and/or other windows (but at least one must your inventory)<br />
* Finally, many items can be picked up using the '[[take]]' command, and dropped with the '[[drop]]' command in the context menu.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Nature]] / '''Meditating'''<br />
<br />
== Meditation ==<br />
To meditate, use a [[:Category:Meditating rugs|meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you have 20 skill, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours.<br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Starting and Following a Path ===<br />
<br />
On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Love. There are also rumoured to be the Path of Honor.<br />
<br />
To join a path you need to have at least 15 meditating skill.<br />
<br />
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.<br />
<br />
The message you get to start each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.<br />
<br />
For the subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].<br />

<hr />
<div>[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Nature]] / '''Meditating'''<br />
<br />
== Meditation ==<br />
To meditate, use a [[:Category:Meditating rugs|meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you have 20 skill, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours.<br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Starting and Following a Path ===<br />
<br />
On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Love. There are also rumoured to be the Path of Honor.<br />
<br />
To join a path you need to have at least 15 meditating skill.<br />
<br />
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.<br />
<br />
The message you get to start each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.<br />
<br />
For the subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].<br />
<br />
=== Path of Insanity ===<br />
''Generally found in mines.<br />
<br />
'''1st Question'''<br />
<br />
How come some people are rich and some are poor?<br />
<br />
*It is natural<br />
*Life is unfair<br />
*Some people are unlucky<br />
*There are not enough resources<br />
*Who knows?<br />
<br />
If you choose the wrong answer you get the message: "Too sane."<br />
<br />
If you choose the correct answer you get the message: "You feel certain that this is right."<br />
"Congratulations! You have now reached the level of Initiate of the path of insanity!"<br />
<br />
'''2nd Question'''<br />
<br />
Who has the most control of my fate?<br />
<br />
*I have<br />
*People around me<br />
*The stars<br />
*Natural Laws<br />
*The government<br />
<br />
If you choose the wrong answer you get the message: (missing)<br />
<br />
If you choose the correct answer you get the message: "You nod to yourself. Of course."<br />
"Congratulations! You have now reached the level of Disturbed of the path of insanity!"<br />
<br />
'''3rd Question'''<br />
<br />
If I win the lottery, what determined it?<br />
<br />
*Number of the ticket<br />
*Person who pulled the ticket<br />
*Simple luck<br />
*Events leading up to the draw<br />
*World history?<br />
<br />
If you choose the wrong answer you get the message: (missing)<br />

<div>[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Nature]] / '''Meditating'''<br />
<br />
== Meditation ==<br />
To meditate, use a [[:Category:Meditating rugs|meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you have 20 skill, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours.<br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Starting and Following a Path ===<br />
<br />
On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Love. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Nature, Honor and Triumph.<br />
<br />
To join a path you need to have at least 15 meditating skill.<br />
<br />
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.<br />
<br />
The message you get to start each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.<br />
<br />
For the subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].<br />

<div>[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Nature]] / '''Meditating'''<br />
<br />
== Meditation ==<br />
To meditate, use a [[:Category:Meditating rugs|meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you have 20 skill, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours.<br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Starting and Following a Path ===<br />
<br />
On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Love. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Nature, Honor and Triumph.<br />
<br />
To join a path you need to have at least 15 meditating skill.<br />
<br />
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.<br />
<br />
The message you get to start each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.<br />
<br />
For the subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].<br />

<br />
== Meditation ==<br />
To meditate, use a [[:Category:Meditating rugs|meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you have 20 skill, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours.<br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Starting and Following a Path ===<br />
<br />
On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Love. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Nature, Honor and Triumph.<br />
<br />
To join a path you need to have at least 15 meditating skill.<br />
<br />
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.<br />
<br />
The message you get to start each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.<br />
<br />
For the subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].<br />

<br />
== Meditation ==<br />
To meditate, use a [[:Category:Meditating rugs|meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you have 20 skill, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours.<br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Starting and Following a Path ===<br />
<br />
On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Love. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Nature, Honor and Triumph.<br />
<br />
To join a path you need to have at least 15 meditating skill.<br />
<br />
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.<br />
<br />
The message you get to start each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.<br />
<br />
For the subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].<br />

<br />
== Meditation ==<br />
To meditate, use a [[:Category:Meditating rugs|meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you have 20 skill, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours.<br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Starting and Following a Path ===<br />
<br />
On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Love. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Nature, Honor and Triumph.<br />
<br />
To join a path you need to have at least 15 meditating skill.<br />
<br />
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.<br />
<br />
The message you get to start each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.<br />
<br />
For the subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].<br />

<hr />
<div>[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Nature]] / '''Meditating'''<br />
<br />
== Meditation ==<br />
To meditate, use a [[:Category:Meditating rugs|meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you are on a path, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours.<br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Starting and Following a Path ===<br />
<br />
On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Love. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Nature, Honor and Triumph.<br />
<br />
To join a path you need to have at least 15 meditating skill.<br />
<br />
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.<br />
<br />
The message you get to start each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.<br />
<br />
For the subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].<br />

<br />
== Meditation ==<br />
To meditate, use a [[:Category:Meditating rugs|meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you are on a path, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours.<br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Starting and Following a Path ===<br />
<br />
On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Love. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Nature, Honor and Triumph.<br />
<br />
To join a path you need to have at least 15 meditating skill.<br />
<br />
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.<br />
<br />
The message you get to start each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.<br />
<br />
For the subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].<br />

<br />
== Meditation ==<br />
To meditate, use a [[:Category:Meditating rugs|meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you are on a path, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours.<br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Starting and Following a Path ===<br />
<br />
On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power and Insanity. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Nature, Honor and Triumph.<br />
<br />
To join a path you need to have at least 15 meditating skill.<br />
<br />
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.<br />
<br />
The message you get to start each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.<br />
<br />
For the subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].<br />

Pickup two puppets, activate one, then right click the other > Puppeteer<br />
<br />
'''or'''<br />

<div>[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Nature]] / '''Meditating'''<br />
<br />
== Meditation ==<br />
To meditate, use a [[:Category:Meditating rugs|meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you are on a path, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours.<br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Starting and Following a Path ===<br />
<br />
On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power and Insanity. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Nature, Honor and Triumph.<br />
<br />
To join a path you need to have at least 15 meditating skill.<br />
<br />
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.<br />
<br />
The message you get to start each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.<br />
<br />
For the subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].<br />

== Description ==<br />
Skill used to play a show with [[puppet]]s.<br />

== Method ==<br />
Pickup two puppets, activate one, then right click the other > Puppeteer<br />
<br />
'''or'''<br />
<br />
Activate a puppet, let someone else activate a puppet too, then right click the other player > Puppeteer<br />
== Notes ==<br />
*When it says ''"You are still mentally exhausted from your last show."'': you have to wait at least 15 RL minutes between one puppetering show and another.<br />

*You suddenly think about something totally different than puppeteering.<br />

*You wonder if a large audience is better than a small one.<br />
*Your mind goes totally blank.<br />

<div>[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Nature]] / '''Meditating'''<br />
<br />
== Meditation ==<br />
To meditate, use a [[:Category:Meditating rugs|meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you are on a path, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours.<br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Starting and Following a Path ===<br />
<br />
On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power and Insanity. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Nature, Honor and Triumph.<br />
<br />
To join a path you need to have at least 15 meditating skill.<br />
<br />
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.<br />
<br />
The message you get to start each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.<br />
<br />
For the subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].<br />

At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.<br />
<br />
The message you get to start each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.<br />
<br />
For the subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].<br />

<br />
== Meditation ==<br />
To meditate, use a [[meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you are on a path, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours. <br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Starting and Following a Path ===<br />
<br />
On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power and Insanity. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Nature, Honor and Triumph.<br />
<br />
To join a path you need to have 15 Meditation Skill.<br />
<br />
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.<br />
<br />
The first question of each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.<br />
<br />
For the second and subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible [[Meditating answers|answers]].<br />

<br />
== Meditation ==<br />
To meditate, use a [[meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you are on a path, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours. <br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Starting and Following a Path ===<br />
<br />
On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Nature. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Honor and Triumph.<br />
<br />
To join a path you need to have 15 Meditation Skill.<br />
<br />
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.<br />
<br />
The first question of each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.<br />
<br />
For the second and subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know.

== Meditation ==<br />
To meditate, use a [[meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you are on a path, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours. <br />

<br />
=== Starting and Following a Path ===<br />

On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others.

<br />
To join a path you need to have 15 Meditation Skill.<br />

Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.<br />

For the second and subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know.

<div>[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Nature]] / '''Meditating'''<br />
<br />
== Meditation ==<br />
To meditate, use a [[meditation rug]]. Skill builds to 20 on all tiles, after that you have to join a path to get further skillgain. Once you are on a path, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours. <br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Starting and Following a Path ===<br />
<br />
On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Nature. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Honor and Triumph.<br />
<br />
To join a path you need to have 15 Meditation Skill.<br />
<br />
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.<br />
<br />
The first question of each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.<br />
<br />
For the second and subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible answers.<br />

*You recently meditated here and need to find new insights somewhere else.<br />
You need to move 10 tiles in one direction to meditate again when you get this message. Note that you can still join a path after meditating even if you receive this message, so it can be safely ignored.<br />
*This is indeed a special place.<br />
You have found a special tile that belongs to a path.<br />
*You decide to start pursuing the insights of the path of knowledge<br />
Message you get if you choose yes in a path dialog (see below)<br />
*You still need to let your progress sink in for several hours<br />
After meditating again on a special tile (after choosing path dialog) you get this message on top of the recent meditation message. You can only meditate every 12 hours on a special tile.<br />
*You gain no inspiration here for your own path.<br />
If you meditate on a special tile that is on a path other than the one you will chosen you will receive this message.<br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Starting and Following a Path ===<br />
<br />
On certain tiles, there can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are thought to be many paths, though some are more easily found than others. Verified paths are: Knowledge, Power, Insanity and Nature. There are also rumoured to be Paths of Honor and Triumph.<br />
<br />
To join a path you need to have 15 Meditation Skill.<br />
<br />
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. At each step, you must wait for an increasing amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. Times between steps are shown in the section on Titles below. You can only follow 1 path.<br />
<br />
The first question of each path seems to take the following form: "As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of X? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.". Answering yes will make you an adherent of that particular path, with the title of Uninitiated.<br />
<br />
For the second and subsequent questions of each path, the dialog starts as follows: "If the path of X contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind", and is then followed by a new question with five possible answers.<br />
<br />

*''Life is unfair''<br />

*There are not enough resources<br />
*Who knows?<br />

'''Others'''<br />
*You recently meditated here and need to find new insights somewhere else.<br />
You need to move 10 tiles in one direction to meditate again when you get this message. Note that you can still join a path after meditating even if you receive this message, so it can be safely ignored.<br />
*This is indeed a special place.<br />
You have found a special tile that belongs to a path.<br />
*You decide to start pursuing the insights of the path of knowledge<br />
Message you get if you choose yes in a path dialog (see below)<br />
*You still need to let your progress sink in for several hours<br />
After meditating again on a special tile (after choosing path dialog) you get this message on top of the recent meditation message. You can only meditate every 12 hours on a special tile.<br />
<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Start a Path ===<br />
<br />
On certain tiles, their can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are at least six paths: Honor, Insanity, Nature, Knowledge, Power, and Triumph.<br />
<br />
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. You must wait for a certain amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. You need to wait 12 hours between the first and second step, <speculation> and the time doubles for each step beyond that </speculation>. You can only follow 1 path.<br />
<br />

<div>Data about skill: after starting to meditate, there is a check at the 4-second mark. If you fail, the meditating fails: "you fail to relax". If you succeed, you get one of the meditation messages, a small amount of skill and the meditation continues. At the end of the meditation timer you sometimes get skill; this is about 10x the amount that you get for passing the relaxation check. I currently (skill~5) get skill every time for the relaxation check, and only some of the time at end-of-timer. [I think most of the information regarding this skill should be here, in the skill page, not the item page] [[User:Urman|Urman]] 21:17, 15 September 2009 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Rolf mentioned in IRC that you can increase skill to 20 without following a path. He also said skillgain is higher when following a path. [[Player:Mulhadrian|Mulhadrian]] 14:26, September 17th 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
I got the message "May your mere appearance change the course of events?" but it is not a knowledge tile, but is listed as such. I logged an alt in, went to the same tile and got a generic message. [[player:pentaxpilot|PentaxPilot]] 14:17, 18 September 2009 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I was about to say the same thing about this message: "Should children really be allowed to sort out their indifferences themselves?" I suspect that these questions are just random and the only valuable questions are ones that you have to answer. Both question types probably come from the same database of questions too.<br />
<br />
Heh figured they are either for filler, or to give you something to ponder before facing the actual question. --[[User:Klaa|Klaa]] 19:48, 18 September 2009 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Do we actaully want to put the answers on this wiki? Or shall we leave it for people to work out? [[User:Drega|Drega]] 12:09, 20 September 2009 (GMT)</div>Dregahttps://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php?title=Meditating&diff=48579Meditating2009-09-20T09:31:37Z<p>Drega: /* Path of Knowledge */</p>

== Paths ==<br />
<br />
=== Start a Path ===<br />
<br />
On certain tiles, their can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you to start a path. There are 3 paths, listed below. <br />
<br />
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion]] title. Each step of the path brings a new title. You must wait for a certain amount of time before you can advance to the next step on the path. You need to wait 12 hours between the first and second step, and 24hours between steps thereafter.<br />
<br />
=== Path of Insanity ===<br />
''Generally found in mines.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Path of Knowledge ===<br />
<br />
'''1st Message'''<br />
<br />
As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of knowledge? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.<br />
<br />
'''2nd Message'''<br />
<br />
If the path of knowledge contains the truth or simply is the figment of someone's imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind:<br />
<br />
What is knowledge?<br />
<br />
*Everything I have seen<br />
*Lies are the truth<br />
*Commonly accepted facts<br />
*Information that I have accepted as a fact<br />
*Applied experience<br />
<br />
If you choose the wrong answer you get the message: "You don't feel that sense of revelation. The answer is probably too obvious."<br />
<br />
If you choose the correct answer you get the message: "You think 'I am on to something'. Congratulations! You have now reached the level of Initiate of the path of knowledge!"<br />
<br />
'''3rd Message'''<br />
<br />
What best constitutes a fact?<br />
<br />
*Experience<br />
*Anything I accept as the truth<br />
*Logically verified information<br />
*I trust nothing<br />
*What a lot of people say<br />
<br />
If you choose the wrong answer you get the message: "You feel that the answer contains holes."<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Path of Power ===<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Leave a path ===<br />
<br />
If you have chosen a path, you now have the option Nature -> Leave path. This brings up a dialog that says: "Select quit to stop following this path. The result is immediate and dramatic".<br />
<br />
== Titles ==<br />
<br />
* Uninitiated<br />
* Initiate (12h after uninitiated)<br />
* Disturbed (24h after initiate)<br />

<br />
== Paths ==<br />
<br />
After 1 or more meditations on a special tile a dialog box shows up. This allows you to start a path.<br />
<br />
=== Path of Insanity ===<br />
<br />
''Generally found in mines.<br />
<br />
=== Path of knowledge ===<br />
<br />
'''1st Message'''<br />
<br />
As you meditate upon these things you realize that there is a pattern of thinking that you can try to follow. If this path contains the truth or simply the figment of someones imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you wish to embark on the philosophical journey of the path of knowledge? If you answer yes, you will be challenged by the selected path as you visit more places like this one and mediate.<br />
<br />
'''2nd Message'''<br />
<br />
If the path of knowledge contains the truth or simply is the figment of someones imagination, you do not know. Nonetheless, it poses an interesting challenge. The following question springs to mind:<br />
<br />
What is knowledge?<br />
<br />
*Everything I have seen<br />
*Lies are the truth<br />
*Commonly accepted facts<br />
*Information that I have accepted as a fact<br />
*Applied experience<br />
<br />
If you choose the wrong answer you get the message: "You don't feel that sense of revelation. The answer is probably too obvious."<br />
<br />
If you choose the correct answer you get the message: "You think 'I am on to something'. Congratulations! You have now reached the level of Initiate of the path of knowledge!"<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Leaving a path'''<br />
<br />
If you have chosen a path, you now have the option Nature -> Leave path. This brings up a dialog that says: "Select quit to stop following this path. The result is immediate and dramatic".<br />

== Tritus' Cloth Tailoring Guide ==<br />
{{stub}}<br />
Cloth Tailoring is not a difficult skill to level up, at least not in the first 30 points or so and is vital to making sails, which is more or less pointless before 25 and not easy even then.<br />
<br />
<br />
#acquire [[Cotton]]<br />
#activate [[wooden spindle]], right click Cotton, Create->[[string of cloth]] (continue until you have no cotton left)<br />
#take 75% (lowest QL) of your Strings of Cloth and, working from lowest QL to highest, Combine them to make 0.3kg strings.<br />
#take those to a [[Floor loom]]<br />
#starting with the lowest QL strings and working to the highest, activate String of Cloth, right click Floor Loom, Create->[[square piece of cloth]] (continue until that 75% is used up)<br />
<br />
<br />
#starting with lowest QL square, activate [[needle]], right click Square, Create->Armor->[[Cloth glove]]<br />
#using needle, [[scissors]] and your lowest QL strings from the remaining 25% of your strings of cloth, Improve the glove until it is around QL 10 or is Finished.<br />
#repeat until you have no cloth left<br />
<br />
=== Notes ===<br />
*Starting with 50kg cotton you should end up with approximately: 7.5 Cloth Tailoring skill, 15kg string and 60% chance to make string<br />
*When your skill level is around 10-15 you will find that it is faster to make several cloth gloves and improve them all until they are a couple of points higher than your skill level.<br />
*If you have a pet you can tame the pet till it aggros on you and then let it hurt you to around 50% (or whatever you feel safe with) then use the rags to increase your [[Healing]]<br />
*With a 40QL needle you can see the [[Square sail]] option at around 20 to 21 skill level.<br />
*Check with [[Triangular sail]] for quality and chance details for sails.<br />

[[Category:Skills]][[Category:Babel/M]]</div>Dregahttps://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php?title=Champion&diff=48413Champion2009-09-16T10:01:20Z<p>Drega: Changed the amount you can die in light of the info from Rolf.</p>
<hr />
<div>==Introduction==<br />
A champion in Wurm Online is a player who has perma-death, also known as real-death. Once such player dies four times, they are permanently dead, and can no longer log into that player account. Once they are forever dead, they'll have to create a new character with a different name to continue playing Wurm. The players that become champions are recorded in the [[Hall of champions]].<br />
<br />
Currently it is only possible to become a champion on the wild server. <br />
<br />
== The [[Altar of Three]] text ==<br />
Your faith and soul are strong enough to become a Champion of <god>. The decision to do this is final, and extremely dangerous. If you choose this path, you will eventually pass the spirit currently blocking the path to the netherworld, effectively dying forever. He will block your passage three times more. This means you will not be able to play this character any more after you die the third time. It does however have its advantages: You will immediately get a boost of power, granted <god>. You will also gain a permanent bonus when fighting and performing certain other tasks. Your faith and favor will be set to max, and you may never lose or change deity. But first and foremost, your name will live in the history of Wurm forever! Do you want to become a champion of <god>, realizing that this is a final and irrevocable decision?<br />
<br />
==Becoming a champion==<br />
* To become a champion, you will need to be a [[priest]] with 50+ [[faith]]. <br />
* If you are a follower of [[Fo]] or [[Vynora]], you will need to have 23 [[soul depth]].<br />
* If you are a follower of [[Magranon]] or [[Libila]], you will need to have 25 [[soul strength]].<br />
* Followers of the [[White Light]] [[gods]] must and visit the [[Altar of Three]] to trigger champion hood.<br />
* Followers of [[Libila]] must visit the [[Bone Altar]] to trigger champion hood.<br />
* Once you trigger championhood, a server wide event message is spread informing everybody on the server that you are now a champion.<br />
e.g ''<Player name> is now a Champion of <God name>!''<br />
<br />
==Bonuses==<br />
* +5 to all [[characteristics]] skills.<br />
* [[Faith]] set to 99.99 (you can continue to pray & gain faith, but only at about 0.000010)<br />
* [[Praying]], [[channeling]] and [[exorcism]] all get 50+your original skill, up to a maximum of 80.<br />
* Shorter time for normal [[healing]]<br />
* Increased skill gain (factor isn't known)<br />
* You will get a new title: Champion of <your god>(this title can not be turned off, but it does not effect other titles. So you can be a 'Blacksmith Champion of Fo' for example).<br />
* You can never lose your Deity<br />
<br />
==The trade-off==<br />
* Permadeath. You get 3 respawns, if you die after the third respawn, you do NOT respawn. Your name will be remembered and inscribed in the [[hall of champions]].<br />
* You can not change your mind later. Champion status is permanent.<br />
* You can never change your [[deity]] (or change kingdom). <br />
<br />
==Text displayed upon permadeath==<br />
:You are dead. <br />
:The dark spirit on the way to the netherworld walks toward you, ready to demand your knowledge. <br />
:At the last moment, it halts hesitantly. <br />
:As it withdraws into the shadows, you realize you are free. <br />
:You walk for a long time through a dark, moist and warm tunnel. <br />
:The longing to return has since long left your body. <br />
:After a tunnel bend, a bright light emanates from up ahead. <br />
:As you pass into the light you hear the sound of laughter and people throwing a grand feast in your honor. <br />
:A broad smile enters your face as you recognize the voices. <br />
:Nobody can hear you now.<br />

'''Cloth tailoring''' is the skill of creating and improving cloth items. It is a subskill of [[tailoring]].<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tools required ==<br />

* [[Needle]]<br />
* [[Scissors]]<br />
* [[Floor loom]]<br />
* [[Water]]<br />
* [[Wooden Spindle]]<br />

== Tritus' Cloth Tailoring Guide ==<br />
<br />
'''incomplete'''<br />
<br />
Cloth Tailoring is not a difficult skill to level up, at least not in the first 30 points or so and is vital to making sails, which is more or less pointless before 25 and not easy even then.<br />
<br />
<br />
#acquire [[Cotton]]<br />
#activate [[wooden spindle]], right click Cotton, Create->[[string of cloth]] (continue until you have no cotton left)<br />
#take 75% (lowest QL) of your Strings of Cloth and, working from lowest QL to highest, Combine them to make 0.3kg strings.<br />
#take those to a [[Floor loom]]<br />
#starting with the lowest QL strings and working to the highest, activate String of Cloth, right click Floor Loom, Create->[[square piece of cloth]] (continue until that 75% is used up)<br />
<br />
<br />
#starting with lowest QL square, activate [[needle]], right click Square, Create->Armor->[[Cloth glove]]<br />
#using needle, [[scissors]] and your lowest QL strings from the remaining 25% of your strings of cloth, Improve the glove until it is around QL 10 or is Finished.<br />
#repeat until you have no cloth left<br />
<br />
=== Notes ===<br />
*Starting with 50kg cotton you should end up with approximately: 7.5 Cloth Tailoring skill, 15kg string and 60% chance to make string<br />
*When your skill level is around 10-15 you will find that it is faster to make several cloth gloves and improve them all until they are a couple of points higher than your skill level.<br />
*If you have a pet you can tame the pet till it aggros on you and then let it hurt you to around 50% (or whatever you feel safe with) then use the rags to increase your [[Healing]]<br />
*With a 40QL needle you can see the [[Square sail]] option at around 20 to 21 skill level.<br />
*Check with [[Triangular sail]] for quality and chance details for sails.<br />
