Festivals

Welcome to the Festivals guild page!

This is the main wiki home for coordinating our efforts in passing the Principles and maybe even some test passes for the Test of Festivals. The Guild hall is in Asyut at 1050, 2354, just east of zFree.

How do I test?

Participation Data

Upcoming Festivals Weekend

The festival for Thoth will be Saturday May 18, 2019, at 3 p.m. EST, 7 p.m. UTC.
The festival for Isis will be Sunday May 19, 2019, at 3 p.m. EST, 7 p.m. UTC.

To participate in a Thoth festival, you will need:

• Testing materials for Thoth : Papyrus Paper (pillars), Candles (foci) Testing Instructions
• A minimum of 21 beetles to drop at the altar before you sacrifice your ambrosia.
• Thoth ambrosia are made with ink and wine. The wine must be two vintages old, contain at least 12% alcohol, and include a particular flavor. Extra flavors are acceptable.
• Premade ambrosia are available in the small boxes behind the Thoth chest in the festivals breezeway cp at 1056, 2363. I believe that sufficient ambrosia have been prepared, but they are "first come, first served". Please test early and pick up your ambrosia ahead of time!

To participate in an Isis festival, you will need:

• Testing materials for Isis: Item A: honey (pillars), Item B: oil (foci), and a partner to test with. Testing Instructions
• Ambrosia made of : 1 db of aromatic honey and oil
• Simple Perfume made of 10db of citrus fruit
• Altar Set up: 7 lit Glass Torches: Emerald, Ruby or Sapphire. (21 Glass Torches are generally set up to satisfy all players' requirements)
  • 10 oil is needed to light each torch. If the torches are not lit, Isis will still be pleased.
• Action required during festival, not more than 5 minutes before ambrosia sacrifice : Apply Perfume (Self---Appearance---Apply perfume)

Isis Materials: At this time, all* Isis materials are expected to be premade and ready in time for the festival. If you are NOT participating in the festival on Saturday, you can test for Isis at any time. Otherwise, you will need to receive a message that "(Thoth) is pleased with your participation". This changes your requirements for all gods, including Isis. It is safe to test after that point.

(*Exception: One variety of citrus tree, Red Grapefruit, has not been successfully bred. The other 51 perfumes are premade)
