== Upgrades ==
 
 
 
Upgrades must be built in order, ie, a Contemplation Basin must be built first, followed by a Meditation Platform and so on. Note: Books can still be added if the Library is in the process of being upgraded.
 
 
 
BEWARE This building is MASSIVE once fully upgraded and the reposition option for each lvl is tied too the original build point. Make sure you have ample room surrounding your library before you start.

Okay, so i will explain how stuff works
 
So the library itself is unchanged in terms of you build it
 
but now you must pass the test by having the best of each wing
 
lobby = 1tp, scholar's atheneum = 4 tp's
 
rare book section = 7
 
so very good rewards
 
each wing can hold a finite amount of books
 
that you as the owner of the library put in, other players don't put them in themselves
 
lobby has 200 books, rare book section holds just 25
 
the book you add will have a quality rating, this is based on how well it was crafted in the first place
 
the score you get for adding the book is based on different factors. Namely how unique is it
 
Books from the same faction members will suffer a 1/25th penalty for each book already in that wing for that faction
 
Books from the same author will suffer a 1/2 penalty for each book already in that wing for that author
 
and Books from the same region will suffer a 1/4 penalty for each book already in that wing for the same region
 
so basically the first book you put in a wing will always score 100%
 
but follow up books quite possibly will score less, and if you keep trying to put in crap books they will score less and less
 
you get to see the score the book will be worth before adding it to the wing.
 
Books are tradable until they are put into the library.
 
Quality of book you create is based on the materials that you put into it when crafting it. The more pages and the better quality 
 
the better
 
than the better the quality cord you use to tie the leaves together (hence linen cord)
 
the better the quality of the cover material
 
and the better the foil material
 
etc.
 
there are lots of options, each option can have a positive warping effect on the quality of the book
 
once you've made a blank book, you or someone else can take it to a region and author it, it takes 10 minutes
 
and 1/3rd the quality of the book in ink and a quill
 
the ink is consumed
 
each week, the best wing wins, so there are 7 awards a week
 
and you can compete in all of them at the same time
 
btw, authoring a book takes 10 minutes
 
where you can do nothing else
 
except chat
