Capricorn is actually the cardinal earth sign, which would relate best to Magnagora's affinity to it(Geomancers). Sea-goat is just an imagery.

As quoted from Wikipedia:




EDIT: Oh, your actual question was what do the MONK guilds have to do with their astrological sign.
I'm just making this up right now, but I'd guess Capricorn, as relating to the above quote would have to do with the protection and contribution to Magnagoran development and the balance of society. Or something like that...

EDIT2: If I'm not mistaken, Magnagora was once part of the Celestine Empire(which is referred to as the Time of Weakness)? It would make sense that the body of a fish transformed into a land creature, walking on it's own feet as opposed to floundering in mud. They don't call it the Engine of Transformation for nothing.

Then again I am pulling this all out of my behind.

I was thinking that sea-goat thing looked like a tainted merian-viscanti gone wrong... really wrong. Kinda like when Jeff Goldblum steps into the machine with the fly.

I've got a bunch.

1. Can any suit or gown pattern be a greatrobe-style suit? (i.e. with the nice stats)

2. Can any weapon pattern be a master weapon?

3. What exactly is a master weapon and how can I tell if I've got one?

4. Is there any way to 'upgrade' from a regular suit or non-master weapon short of getting a new one?

What are all the different ways you can make a character permanent?

As far as I know, buying some credit package is the only one.

Any amount, or does it have to be a certain amount? And I swear I've heard something about a ridiculous amount of time played also doing it. I'm just really curious and there doesn't seem to be any sort of list anywhere!

Any amount. Even the $9 package would do it. It's cause once you've spent real money on a character, there are financial records tied to it or something that make it problematic to just be able to delete.

But I'm 94% sure that this is the only way. I could be wrong though. That 6% gets me all the time!

I guess lessons would do it too, then?

What are all those paper daisy lanterns floating around Water? I want to bash them. They taunt me.

There are like three ways to do, iirc. Time, Credits, and Bardic/Artistinals.

Bardics/Artisanals don't make your character permanent, unless that's been changed recently. I've had a character who'd placed in bardics get deleted once.

Unless an admin comes and says otherwise or someone offers some proof, I still think that the only way is to spend money on a character.
