Summoner's Tome

Summary

• Players can craft Summoner's Tomes with Inscription, which are used as a tool to enhance summons in PvM.
• 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 20 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)

Summoner's Tome Upgrades

• Each Summon type has 8 Upgrades that players can spend Upgrade Points to raise to three different Tier Levels
• Upgrading to Tier 1 will cost a cumulative 1 Upgrade Point
• Upgrading to Tier 2 will cost a cumulative 3 Upgrade Points
• Upgrading to Tier 3 will cost a cumulative 6 Upgrade Points
• Players can use the Reset Points button to reset their Points Spent for that spell type so long as they dont have any followers from that spell currently summoned
• Upgrades apply unique bonuses and unlock abilities that will be added to that particular summon created by the player

• Players can click the Info button to see a description of the Upgrade
• The bonuses provided by each Tier Level for the upgrade are displayed in a (X% / Y% / Z%) format in the info description
