== Meditation ==
===The Basics===To meditate, use drop a [[:Category:Meditating rugs|meditation rug]]on the ground, right click it, and choose "Nature -> Meditate". Skill builds Due to 20 the flatness of the rug models, it is recommended to use them in a container you place on all tilesthe ground, such as a bucket, after that to enable easier pickup. The earliest you have to can join a meditation [[Meditating#Starting_and_Following_a_Path|path ]] is at 15 Meditation skill. You can wait to get join until 20 Meditation skill, but you will not be able to gain further skillgain. Once you are on skill past 20 without joining a path, skill-gain is limited to 5 times every 3 hours.
== Messages =Skill Training===Skill can be gained on any tile, but you have to move at least 10 tiles away from the tile that you meditated on previously. A successful meditation only occurs after completing the two minute meditation timer. You will not necessarily gain skill on every meditation. Below 20 meditation skill, there is '''no time limit''' between skill gains. You only have to move 10 tiles between meditations. A popular method is to drop a rug on the first tile and a second rug on the 11th tile of a path and to move between the two rugs. Another one is to patrol the perimeter of an 11x11 box and to meditate on each corner. Above 20 meditation skill, the chances to gain skill are limited to a few per day: * First 5 meditations need to be at least 30 minutes apart* After your fifth meditation, the wait timer will change from 30 minutes to 3 hours. The message ''You feel that it will take you a while before you are ready to meditate again. You can gain skill from meditating again in <amount of time>.'' indicates the longer wait time.* Every 24 hours, counting from a server's restart time, the timers reset to 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 (i.e. you waited long enough and moved 10 tiles), then you will use up a chance to meditate, and will have a random chance to gain meditation skill.  Your chance at gaining skill on a given meditation depends on the quality of your meditation rug, although the type of rug used appears to be irrelevant for skill gain. At lower levels, a ratio of about 50% can be reached. Around 70 meditation skill, the highest ratio has been about 40%. (These ratios have been reached with a rug in the range of 20-30 quality.)  If you get particularly unlucky, it is possible that you won't gain any skill in one or two days. However, if the ratio over at least 10-20 tries is way below the above examples, then you should try changing the quality of your meditation rug. As a general rule of thumb, as you gain skill, you should lower the quality of your meditation rug to increase the difficulty of the meditation action and raise your chance of a skill tick occurring. == Path Management and Advancement ==
You start meditating.=== 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 five paths that a player may follow. They are as follows:
'''Failed attempt'''*You fail to relax.The [[Path of Knowledge|Path of Knowledge]]
The [[Path of Power|Path of Power]]
'''Successful attempt'''The [[Path of Insanity|Path of Insanity]]
"You fall into a trance."The [[Path of Love|Path of Love]]
*A sense of hopelessness suddenly strikes.*Are they after you?*Can you change anything in your life for the better?*Can you freeze water with thoughts?*Can you picture a situation where could you kill someone?*Does meditating really help anything?*Do you let many things slip?*Do you taint people by complaining about things to them?*Do you try to control things you should not or can not?*If something sees light as something else, how does it look?*Is it better to protect a child or let it risk a severe bruise now and then?*Is it possible to move along the chain of time?*Is it really the same river the next time you step into it?*Is love a large hole that needs to be filled or is it something else?*Is there a physical representation of chance?*Is there a smallest particle?*Isn't life really pretty disgusting?*Isn't most things very predictive?*It sure is a nice day.*Should you accept when someone destroys what you love?*Should you be doing something completely different right now?*The light in a drop of water.*The sky lifts your heart.*The thought of the highest mountain makes your mind wander.*The thought that someone is watching strikes you.*The image of a small baby surrounded by snakes comes to mind.*The vision of slow flowing rivers calms your mind.*This place reminds you of home for some reason.*What do the gods want?*What if light and dirt is the same thing, just in different shapes.*What is the difference between an arrow fired and an arrow sheathed?*What is the smallest thing you can do that has effect on another person?*What makes trees grow?*When? When when when?*When you judge and limit someone, does that limit you as well?*Where does my soul live as I leave my body?*Which path should you choose today?*Will you care about what happens after you are dead?*Who decides who is allowed to complain about something?*Who was that?*You consider the wind and the places it goes.*You decide not to breathe at all. Does the future already exist?*You envision fire along the horizon. Dark clouds above.*You feel the Earth and what walks on it*You feel like laughing like a donkey.*You focus on breathing.*You listen to the wind.*You ponder the miners, digging deep in the darkness of the mountains.*You think about how people can torture each other and who decides who will live and who will die.*You think about hurricanes and volcanoes and how it would feel to be one.*You think about rain.*You think about sunshine.*You think about the craftsmen, tinkering and toiling.*You think about moonlight.*You think about the sea and the creatures that swim in it.*You think about good times*You think of aggression and violence.*You think about the boogie.*You think [[Path of all the people that decide your fate.*You try to clear your mind.*You try to recall all the faces you have met.*You try to think Hate|Path of nothing here.*You wonder how far you can goHate]].
To join a path you need to have at least 15 meditating skill. However, even if you start a path at 15 meditating skill the meditating limitation of one meditation per 30 minutes for skill does not apply until you reach 20 skill.
Once you are on the path, a title will appear next to your name, similar to the [[champion player|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.
'''Path of Knowledge tiles'''*Are there people who are soulless?*Are The message you all that honest?*Can something good come from small children fighting with get to start each other?*Do path seems to take the following form: "As you know anyone who has had a perfect childhood?*Do meditate upon these things you know anyone who has not had realize that there is a tainted childhood?*Do pattern of thinking that you let too many things slip?*Do you often lie or take chances when you are asked can try to speak?*Does hurting someone really hurt you more?*Is fear and hate follow. If this path contains the same thing?*Is love a large hole that needs to be filled truth or is it something else?*May your mere appearance change simply the course figment of events?*Maybe we all have our problems?*Should children really be allowed to sort out their indifferences themselves?*Should you trust someone more because the person sounds more convincing?*What lies have you been told this week?*What would 's imagination, you do if you possessed most knowledge in the world?*When you judge and limit someonenot know. Nonetheless, does that limit it may pose an interesting challenge. Do you as well?*Who has the right to lock someone up?*You envision yourself teaching wish to embark on the masses.*You think about your barriers for learning and how to remove them.*You think philosophical journey of the things that interest path of X? If you most.*You think of the various ways people become the best at something and whether answer yes, you should adopt some style.*You try to recall if someone said that will be challenged by the gods don't play dice.*You wonder how selected path as you would study visit more places like this one and learn a book of liesmeditate.*You wonder if it is possible to find knowledge that in no possible situation would save lives".*You wonder if the future exists but we only see parts Answering yes will make you an adherent of it like a mountainrange.*You wonder if there is something really interesting out there that you haven't heard of.*You wonder if time can move backwards somehow.*You wonder if you always try to decide on particular path, with the best option.*You wonder what you would say if you got to tell the whole world one sentence title of truthUninitiated.
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 of the rug you are using. '''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.'''
'''Others'''*You recently meditated here and need to find new insights somewhere else.You need to move 10 tiles in one direction to meditate again when If you get this message. Note that you can still join a path after meditating even if you receive this messagequestion wrong, so it can be safely ignored.*This is indeed a special place.You have found a special tile that belongs to a path.*You decide to start pursuing the insights of delay timer resets and you must wait out the path of knowledgeMessage you get full period over again. For example if you choose yes in a path dialog (see below)*You still need wrongly on the level 4 question, you have to let your progress sink in for several hoursAfter meditating again on a special tile wait another 6 days (after choosing path dialogreal time) before you get this message on top of the recent meditation message. You can only meditate every 12 hours on a special tiletry again.
== Paths = Leaving a Path ===
=== Start If you have chosen a Path ===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".
On certain tilesIf you select Quit, their can be a pop-up after finishing meditating that allows you get this message: "You decide to start a stop pursuing the pathof knowledge. There are at least six paths: Honor, Insanity, Nature, Knowledge, Power, and Triumph."
Once You do not lose any meditating skill if you are on the path, a title will appear next to leave 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 However, you can advance to the next step on do lose all progress in the path. You need to wait 12 hours between the first and second step, and 24hours between steps thereafterany path powers you have gained.
=== Path of Insanity ===''Generally found in minesYou 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."
'''1st Message'''(missed to write it down :( someone fill in, please)===Path Leaders===
'''2nd Message'''Once you have reached level 3 in your chosen path, you will have a new option Nature -> Path leaders. This brings up a dialog that says "You consider the local leaders of the path:". "Local" here means the server you are currently on. Once you reach level 4, your own name becomes eligible to appear on this list. You will need to be on the list to use the Light Path option for others.
If the path of insanity 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:===Enlightenment===
How come some people Leaders in paths are rich 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 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 some are poor?a difficulty check will affect success chance (see end of this section).
Simple instructions:*It is naturalLeader activates a [[meditation rug]]*Student types /invitations*Leader right-clicks the student and looks for the ''Life is unfairLight Path''option*Some people are unluckyLeader repeats this attempt until the student gets the path question dialog window that we're used to seeing for path advances*There are not enough resources*Who knows?is a one minute cool-down for enlightenment after every attempt.
If you choose the wrong answer you get the messageExample of successful enlightenment: "Too sane."<br>
If you choose * Path leader: [12:07:16] STUDENT needs to type in the correct answer you get command /invitations. [12:07:27] You attempt to light the messagepath for STUDENT. [12: "07:27] You feel certain that this is rightask STUDENT a question. she seems to think hard."and "Congratulations! You have now [12:07:58] STUDENT has reached the level of Initiate Goodhearted of the path of insanitylove!"
* Student: [12:07:24] You will now accept invitations to change kingdom and religion. [12:07:27] TEACHER asks you a question. [12:07:58] You think 'Sounds about right''3rd Message''' [12:07:58] Congratulations! You have now reached the level of Goodhearted of the path of love!
Message unknown* Failure (Path leader). If you get those messages just retry after waiting 1 minute: [12:07:20] You attempt to light the path for <Player>. [12:07:20] <Player> does not grasp the question. he needs to meditate more.* Failure (Student). If you get those messages just retry after waiting 1 minute: <Player> asks you a very confusing question. You do not understand it and need to contemplate more.
Who has After a successful path enlightenment the most control of my fate?leader cannot do it again for 7 days.
*I have*People around me*The stars*Natural Laws*The governmentAfter the v1.1 patch a new difficulty check was added:
=== Path of Knowledge === Rolf: it's not a skill requirement per se but there's a difficulty check Rolf: like level you try to achieve *10 or so Rolf: increasing meditation skill will increase chances yes
== Path Levels =='''1st Message'A note to further make clear the timing for path advancement:''<br><br>The information in the "Delay to reach" column refers to the time that must pass in real-life hours or days since you gained your last level in the path.<br><br>Example: When you first convert to a path (represented below as 0 level), you then must wait 12 real-life hours before you can try for level 1. During that 12 hours, you may still meditate as normal for meditating skill gain (even on Path tiles). But when you meditate on a Path tile during this period, you will receive a message that says you "need to let your recent progress sink in" for some period of time before you may progress in the path.<br><br>Meditation titles can be toggled via a check-box in the /titles command. They appear in your display name in the form of "<character name> the <meditation title>".
