Tests

From A Wiki in the Desert

Tests  are challenges to the citizens of Egypt issued in each Telling by The Stranger, an enigmatic fellow who may or may not have Egypt's best interests at heart.

  • Tests of each discipline may not be started until the player has completed the corresponding initiation task in that discipline.
  • Before starting a test, you must visit the appropriate university to start it.
  • Tests have a Task associated with them, that is visible in the Task menu. This will give you an introduction to the test and give you pointers on completing it.
  • As you progress in a Test, you will be awarded with Talent Points.
  • Completing a Test will give you a "rank" (i.e. a new title)
