That's the point. We can. We'll just have to pay upkeep for it.

If they can afford the essence upkeep. I think that was the point of temp powers.

Whatever floats your boat I guess.

I would like to suggest two things regarding cult along with agreeing with Nariah that the cost needs to be lowered for the ephemeral bit.

1) Increase essence tithed from offering from 8.7% to 15-20%. Reason being is that since it'll cost 120mil to get the skill trained... that's 12 billion essence needed to be offered. That's not a wholly realistic number and I doubt anyone would trans Veneration within the next year or so.

2) Lower the cost to trans Veneration OR increase the amount of essence used per meditation. People like to PLAY Lusternia, not have to sit for a day to trans a skillset

that's my two cents. Any suggestions to edit/enhance/fix appreciated and welcome

1. Bahaha, yes. Naralis has been working his tooshie off clearing the basin and we only have 50k essence made. 30k of which I used in a single sitting learning Veneration! :3

2. And totally agree. We need to lower the total cost to Trans to maybe 70 or 80 mil or increase the amount of essence in meditation! I am on the test server and have been going 6 hours learning from Capable all the way to Fabled. That is just learning back to back. Whew. All this meditating, I am think I pulled a muscle!

I love this idea.

I wouldn't mind that at all. That's an incarnation I'd think would actually be desirable as a Nature power even if it might stir more complicated coding stuff. -sniff-

There should be a time restriction on it. I (think) it's once per IG day (once an hour), but I'm not sure. Definitely shouldn't be 'spammable'.

The essence cost scales with each rezz. It shouldn't be remote (should be same-room). If it's not, woops.

The cult leader can give their own essence to the cult. This is why neither were adjusted (and I do not foresee them being adjusted). 8.7% is more what carried over from the old cult system, but it seems to me a fine amount. There's a few ways to boost offering values now, so I'm not terribly concerned.

Does that mean after a certain amount of rezzes, the skill becomes useless as the essence cost becomes overwhelmingly high?

We could perhaps make it a flat 10% instead of an odd 8.7% then? Messes up easy counting!

It resets each RL day I think? (The 'I think?' referencing the 'RL')

It's a bit difficult to test, but it looks like it resets at midnight IG.

EDIT: And in case no-one's posted the numbers, it's 35k + 35k*rezzes, restores to full health with grace.

At the very least, that should be implemented. Having to spend real life hours (if I understand Lorina, you're spending more than six hours to trans it) just to learn a skill is unfun.

Having spent hours meditating upon Ascendance (which used the exact same mechanic), I can agree it's unfun.

EDIT: Ascendance was 120,000,000 essence to trans, at 30,000 per meditation which takes 10s channeled (ie clanchat or similar interrupts). It comes out to be around eleven or twelve hours of straight meditating.

Every meditate is the equivalent of learning 15 lessons. It's only two messages, though, as opposed to 6-7. Though I'm not sure on the time-span versus learning and meditating. Having not actually used the learn verb in 3 or 4 years, heh.

Do you have to meditate for Veneration up in the Domoth Realms? That was one of the pains of Ascendance.
