Festivals

From A Wiki in the Desert

I want to help, what can I contribute?

  • Once the test is open, sign up and test for your requirements, for all seven gods.

Yes, Festivals is a big test, and it eats a lot of materials! There are some "specialty items" you can help provide.

  • Roses: This chart can help us focus our rose crossbreeding efforts: https://atitd.wiki/tale10/Test_of_Festivals/Rose_Attributes.
  • Beer: If you like to write recipes, here you go! We need a wider variety of malt-based recipes, with as many adjectives as you can squeeze into the barrel.
  • Wines: Need more players to test and share their requirements. If you tend vineyards, please continue to document what flavors you can produce. Once the test is open, we can compile a list of wine flavors needed. Even "aged out" flavors still count for Festivals, so don't throw away those old, thin wines.
    • Strong preference for alcohol levels of 12.1% or higher
  • Citrus: All citrus types and aromatic honeys are expected to be needed
  • Spirits: Will know more once Festivals is open and we can test.
  • Silk: to make into colored ribbons
  • Wood: need to stockpile for Ra bonfires
  • Cobra blood
  • Ink
  • Khefre's Lockers: Beetles (and beetle storage) will be needed.

Welcome to the Festivals page!

This is the main wiki home for coordinating our efforts in passing the Test of Festivals, in Tale 9.

  • For guild-based Festivals coordination, please join The Test Tavern, in Meshwesh Delta (Tanis) at 960, 6816
    • There is a worship channel (/join Worship) which can be utilized by all players.
    • The microphone is public, and is in Avaris, in front of the School of Worship (insert coordinates here).
    • The "regular" moderator will probably end up being Peacefulness, but any player is welcome to moderate.
  • Public compounds for ambrosia creation and storage are being built in Red Sea, a five-minute run southeast of Avaris. Kitchens are available at 2262, 1820.

Thank you for visiting and contributing!

  • You first need to start the Test of Festivals at your faction's University of Worship. Technically, you can help another player test for their requirements without completing this step.
  • Gather up your testing materials for all festivals and drag a buddy to a common altar.
  • Please test for your requirements for each festival type and document the results on this page
  • You can also do a mini-festival to "reroll" your requirements and do all seven tests again, to get a second set of data.
    • You must start the Test of Festivals to please a god and reroll your requirements.
    • The mini-festival will reset your requirements for ALL the gods.
    • You can please a god once every 24 (server) hours.

How do I test?

Upcoming Festivals Weekend

  • The Test Tavern is announcing the upcoming festivals through the in-game calendar.
  • Need help with those ambrosia requirements?
    • When you get your test results, click the clipboard button
    • Paste the results into this form: https://tinyurl.com/Festival-Form
    • Your data will be transferred to the Test Tavern's spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/Test-Tavern-Festival-Supplies
    • The tab for the upcoming festival's god is underlined in red, and you can check there for additional information.
      • If your entry is highlighted in red, there is a problem, and you may need to reroll your requirements
      • If your entry is highlighted in charcoal or black, there is more than one entry under your name. Only the most recent is "kept". This happens when you reroll and put your new data into the form, or if you enter your needs in the form more than once.
      • When your entry is highlighted in green, your ambrosia has been made.

(Gem) Glass Torch:

  • current assumption: Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire

Ambrosia of (citrus-citrus) honey and oil

  • current assumption: Citrus combinations have been rerolled for T9 and include fruits that were introduced in T8.

RA

test with medium quartz and medium topaz
To please Ra, build a spirit brasier and fill it with (Adjective) Spirits of (Noun). Surround the brasier with seven bonfires of 7000 wood each.

(adjective) Spirits of (noun)

Ambrosia of dates and (flavor) wine

Have done some limited testing to determine in what order Ra checks for the correct conditions. So far...

  • 7 lit bonfires with at least 7k wood each.
  • Correct spirits burning in the brasier. Attempted Grain Spirits of Fire (higher quality) for a player who required Grain Spirits of Water. Did not please Ra.
  • Ambrosia contents:
    • minimum alcohol level met (10% or greater)

Tip: Do not guild the bonfires unless you have someone high enough rank to tear them down.

THOTH

test with papyrus paper and candle
To please Thoth, surround an altar with 21 scampering beetles. Make sure the beetles don't wander too far. At this altar, sacrifice an ambrosia made of ink and (flavor) wine. The wine must be at least two vintages old and must contain 12% alcohol.
