== Meditation ==
===The Basics===
To meditate, drop a [[:Category:Meditating rugs|meditation rug]] on the ground, right click it, and choose "Nature -> Meditate". Due to the flatness of the rug models, it is recommended to use them in a container you place on the ground, such as a bucket, to enable easier pickup. The earliest you can join a meditation [[Meditating#Starting_and_Following_a_Path|path]] is at 15 Meditation skill. You can leave it wait to join until 20 Meditation skill, but you will not be able to gain further skill past 20 without joining a path.
===Skill Training===
Above 20 meditation skill the chances to gain skill are limited to a few per day:
* All First 5 meditations need to be 30 minutes apart at least* Only 4 meditations per day can be less than After your fifth meditation the wait timer will change from 30 minutes to 3 hours from the previous one. The message ''You feel that it will take you a while before you are ready to meditate again'' indicates the longer wait time.* Every 24 hours after a server restart the counter is timers reset and you get 4 new chances at closer meditation immediatelyto the 30 minute wait.
Example:
: Assume the server was restarted at 12:00 and you start meditating right away. The first 5 meditations can be done at 12:00, 12:30, 13:00, 13:30 and 14:00. The next ones must be at least 3 hours past the previous one and are available at 17:00, 20:00 and 23:00. After getting some [[sleep bonus]] you continue to meditate at 8:00 and 11:00. At 12:00, 24 hours after the server restart the minimum spacing returns to 30 minutes again. The meditation timer resets every day at the same hour that the last server reset was, and you can check when that is by typing /uptime.
You do not lose a chance nor do you get any meditation skill if you meditate before the wait time is up or if you meditate within 10 tiles of the previous meditation spot. If you are eligible to gain skill (waited long enough and moved the 10 tiles) you will use up a chance and randomly get skill meditation skill. The ratio of skill gain per tries depends on the meditation rug. At lower levels a ratio of about 50% can be reached. Around 70 meditation skill the highest ratio has been about 40%. It is possible that you don't get any skill in one or two days but if the ratio over at least 10-20 tries is way below the listed examples you should try to change the quality of the rug. The listed ratios have been reached with a rug in the range of 20-30 quality.
== Path Management and Advancement ==
=== Starting and Following a Path ===
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 five paths, though some are more easily found than othersthat a player may follow. Verified paths They areas follows:
The [[Path of Knowledge|Path of Knowledge]]
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]].
The further along a path you are, the harder it becomes to get the question dialogs to appear. The chance to receive a question is determined by your meditation skill, your path level, and the quality/type of the rug you are using. The various rugs in order of increasing effectiveness are: [[Meditation rug]], [[Fine meditation rug]], [[Beautiful meditation rug]], and [[Exquisite meditation rug]]. '''If you fail to receive a question, you can simply keep meditating on the same special tile until you succeed; there is no need to move elsewhere or wait for 30 minutes.'''
If you get a question wrong, the delay timer resets and you must wait out the full period over again. For example if you choose wrongly on the level 4 question, you have to wait another 6 days (real time) before you can try again.
You do not lose any meditating skill if you leave your path. However, you do lose all progress in the path and any path powers you have gained.
 
You must wait 24 hours before joining a meditation path after leaving one: "You recently left a cult and need to contemplate the changes for another [cooldown time remaining] before embarking on a new philosophical journey."
===Path Leaders===
===Enlightenment===
Leaders in paths are able to Enlighten others who are exactly three levels below the leader's current level. For example, a level 9 can advance a level 6 to level 7. A player can be enlightened 7 days after their last path advancement, regardless of level, or visible regular wait time. You will not need to move or wait if the attempt fails, but multiple attempts may be necessary. There is a one minute cool-down between attempts, and a difficulty check will affect success chance (see end of this section).

''** Minimum time from the start of the path to that level. Doesn`t take server off-line time and skill needed into account.''
 
If your Meditation skill is higher than current level x 15 the cooldown timer will be halved (e.g. If you have higher than 45 Meditation, the time between level 3 and 4 will be 2.25 days instead of 4.5 days.)
== Path Bonuses ==

Commonly referred to as a "Refresh tick". Randomly appears at the end of a successful meditation at higher levels (9+), with meditation skill level and rug quality increasing the chance.Your food and water will be filled (Nutrition is unaffected) and you .

The decision has been made to remove this spoiler. It only takes away surprise and interest from the feature and should not be re-added.
