Summary

  • Players can now craft Summoner's Tomes through Inscription, which are used as a tool to greatly improve the power and utility of summons in PvM only
  • Summoner's Tomes are Blessed items
  • Players must have at least 80 Magery and 80 Spirit Speaking in order to utilize a Summoner's Tome
  • Similar to Aspect Gear, every player now has a "Summoner Profile" that is stored for them on a per character basis and is permanent (can't be lost)
  • Players can double-click a Summoner's Tome in their backpack to view their character's Summoner Profile through a special Summoner's Tome menu
  • Summoner Tomes are non-unique and players can use any of them to access their Summoner Profiles (i.e. a player that loses their Summoner's Tome can simply craft a new one and they will not lose any progress on their Summoner Profile)
  • Players will be notified when they open a Summoner's Tome if they do not have the required Magery and Spirit Speak skill needed to use the tome and receive its benefits


Summoner Tome Menu

  • Players can view their Summoner Profile through the Summoner's Tome Menu by double-clicking any Summoner's Tome in their backpack
  • While players need 80 Magery and Spirit Speak to utilize the benefits of a Summoner's Tome, any player may view their profile even with insufficient Magery/Spirit Speak skill
  • On the Overview Page of the Summoner Tome Menu, players can see a summary of all their Spell Entries for each of the 8 Summoning spells (such as Blade Spirits, Air Elemental, Fire Elemental, Energy Vortex, etc) in that player's Summoner Profile
  • Each Spell Entry has a "Points Unlocked" and "Upgrade Progress" listing
  • Players can click the Diamond button next to each Spell Entry to jump to that spell's individual page
  • Players can also use the buttons on the bottom toolbar to jump to individual spell pages, or click the button next to the Tome Icon at the bottom to return to the Overview Page


Spell Upgrade Progress

  • If players have at least 80 Magery and Spirit Speaking skill on their character, and have a Summoner's Tome in their backpack, they can earn "Upgrade Progress" towards summon spells (see "Max Upgrade Points" section below for details)
  • When players fight non-tamed/non-summoned creatures while using summons, they will earn "Upgrade Progress" for that summon spell, similar to earning Aspect Experience, Mastery Chain Experience, etc
  • Progress amounts earned are based on the Gold Value of the creature killed, and the Damage Percent that player did to the creature (similar to how all other forms of Experience earned on the server are calculated)
  • If a player uses a single summon type to fight a creature (such as only Air Elementals) all Upgrade Progress earned from that creature killed will be attributed to that single spell
  • If a player uses multiple summon types against a creature, Upgrade progress will be divided evenly among the different summon types they used (ie. 50% each for 2 types, 33% each for 3 types, etc)
  • Similar to other forms of Experience, players can select how/and if they want Summoner Upgrade Progress to be displayed for their character through Paperdoll -> Help -> Commands -> Text Displays -> [ShowSummonersTomeExperience
  • Players can choose to have Summoner Upgrade Progress amounts display overhead, in the system message area, or not at all
  • Players can view Upgrade Progress for each spell in the Summoner Tome Menu Overview page
  • Players can also view Upgrade Progress for spells in the individual Spell Entry pages for a spell


Unlocking Upgrade Points

  • When players reach 100% Upgrade Progress for a spell, they unlock an Upgrade Point for that spell
  • Players will receive a system message and sound effect when they unlock an Upgrade Point for a spell
  • The total number of Upgrade Points unlocked for each spell is displayed next to the spell's icon on the Overview Page and is displayed at the bottom of the page as part of the Upgrade Points Spent listing
  • Players can earn experience and unlock up to 30 Upgrade Points per Summon Spell regardless of their character's Spirit Speak skill (i.e. they now follow similar handling to our other "Codex-like" items that simply require players to meet the minimum skill requirements to receive full benefits possible from them)


Upgrades and Spending Upgrade Points

  • Every summon spell has 10 different Upgrades that players chose from, each having their own Upgrade Point Cost that must be spent to activate them
  • Upgrade choices are not permanent: players can select and deselect Upgrades freely to spend/release their point costs from their total
  • Upgrades apply unique bonuses and unlock abilities that will be added to that particular summon created by the player
  • Clicking the Info Button next to an upgrade will display a summary of what the upgrade offers when activated
  • Clicking the Diamond Button next to an Upgrade will activate it and add its Point Cost to the Upgrade Points Spent total
  • Upgrades that are active for a spell have their checkbox selected and display in Green text
  • Clicking the Diamond Button next to an activated Upgrade will deselect it and free up its Point Cost total
  • Players cannot select or deselect Upgrade while they have any summons currently alive in the game world, however


Max Upgrade Points

  • For each Summon Spell, players can unlock up to a maximum of a 30 Upgrade Points possible
  • Once unlocked a player has access to all 30 points with only 80 Spirit Speak required
  • The experience amounts needed for players to unlock upgrades increases the more Unlocks they already have for a particular summon

Experience amounts (Creature Gold Value x Player Damage Contribution Percent) needed to reach 100% Progress for each Unlock Point on a spell are as follows:

Point Gold Earned Point Gold Earned Point Gold Earned
1 1,000 11 11,000 21 21,000
2 2,000 12 12,000 22 22,000
3 3,000 13 13,000 23 23,000
4 4,000 14 14,000 24 24,000
5 5,000 15 15,000 25 25,000
6 6,000 16 16,000 26 26,000
7 7,000 17 17,000 27 27,000
8 8,000 18 18,000 28 28,000
9 9,000 19 19,000 29 29,000
10 10,000 20 20,000 30 30,000

Notes

  • Any spell cast by the player that has its Mana Refunded (i.e. no mana cost) will not trigger the Corporeal Tether healing effect.
