 * For example, if you have 15,000 points and the advances cost 5,000 points then you will gain three advances.
 * For example, if you have 460,000 points and the advances cost 20,800 points each, then you will gain 22 advances (457,600 points) and keep 2,400 points for the next round of advancements. It is verified that you can get more than 21 advances in a single go.

 The '''Test of the Singing Cicada''' is a [[Tests|test]] in the discipline of the Human [[Body]], and is also the way to permanently increase one's [[Stats#Speed|Speed]] attribute. The test focuses on exploration, particularly of remote or hard-to-reach areas in Egypt.

 Hidden across the Egyptian landscape are dozens of [[Cicada Cage]]s, detectable mainly through the continuous chirping sounds they emit. A player who comes across a cicada cage is allowed to take a cicada from it (provided the player has signed up for the Cicada test). When a player has collected enough cicadas, he may build and place a cicada cage of his own. In T8, a cage may be placed only in a region belonging to factions other than the one a player is a part of. Cages crumble and are gone after 7 players have discovered them and removed a cicada.
 Cicada points are earned both by finding other players' cages (a single bonus for each cage found) and by building your own (points earned continuously for as long as your cages survive). Every 3 Egypt days, the 21 players with the highest scores receive a permanent Speed advance. They then all lose cicada points equal to the 21st player's score.  (In effect, the 21st player's score determines how much it "costs" to "buy" a Speed point that day.)

 Part way through Tale 8 a method of silencing the continuous cicada chirp was introduced as part of the T8 Cheese System.  [[Cheese|Baramily]] cheese when applied to a cicada cage silences the chirp.
