'''Papyrus''' comes in two varieties, depending on how it is grown:

* [[Fertile Papyrus]] is cultivated by sowing [[Papyrus Seeds (hf)]] along the Nile. It also yields new seeds when dried.

* [[Sterile Papyrus]] is obtained by growing [[Papyrus Seeds (hf)]] in a [[Papyrus Tank]]. It is identical to fertile papyrus except that it does does '''not''' give seeds when dried.

Wild papyrus plants were around at the start of the telling, but at this point, any papyrus you come across will have been cultivated by somebody. Taking papyrus that you didn't seed yourself is considered by some to be rude.

It can also be turned into [[Papyrus Paper]] or [[Dried Papyrus]] and used for multiple items.

==Wild Cultivation==
In the wild, papyrus is grown by throwing seeds into the Nile, then waiting for them to float downstream (i.e. northward), where they wash up on the riverbank and grow into papyrus plants.
Plant seeds on a muddy bank, then look for plants about 10 minutes later about 100-150 coordinates NORTH and on both banks from where you planted it. (This means you should usually plant within 100 coordinates of a bridge.) Both the West Nile and East Nile are valid planting areas.
Also note that in some locations it will appear as though there is a "dead spot" where the Papyrus does not grow. This is not the case and is caused by nearby ponds and lakes generally to the east of the section of the nile you were planting in. If you find that there is a large gap, check for lakes and ponds nearby. I have seen papyrus travel as far as 300 (in t6) coordinates inland and sometimes even further. Plants may even travel from Eastern Nile to Western Nile or vice verca, if the distance is short enough between the two streams of water (typically near a river fork).

{{Item
| name = Cactus Sap
| image = CactusSap.png
| weight = 1
| bulk = 1
}}

'''Cactus sap''' is a substance produced by [[Royal Cactus]] plants. The cactus must be injured (punctured) by a passerby, after which it will start producing sap which can then be gathered.

== Sources ==
* Collected from injured [[Royal Cactus]] plants.
* Once the plant has been injured it will begin to accumulate Cactus Sap and a 'Collect the sap and Injure the Cactus' button will appear.
* If the cactus was previously injured, up to 3 sap drops will have collected, at a rate of 1 drop per minute.
* You must click repeatedly to collect all the sap. Each time only 1 of the sap drops will be collected.
* When all sap has been gathered, only the 'Injure the Cactus' button will remain.

== Uses ==
* ? needed to make a [[Dowsing Rod]]
20 used to make [[Incense]] in a [[Scent Lab]]

== Research and Tuition ==

Glassblowing Guide

2019-06-12T23:35:40Z

Lucia-Aurelius:

== Beaker ==

Requires: 1 [[Glass Pipe]]

How to: Set heater to Gradual. Don't worry about the lip. +9k can be achieved with this procedure: Turn constantly. Push into the Glory Hole one tick at a time, letting the rod heat all the way in. When the rod is fully heated, blow three times, then pull the rod back out, making sure that all of the rod is heated, this should not take more than two ticks. When fully out, begin blowing the Beaker to full size. Keep turning it while constantly checking the quality. When you get to q8,5k, begin comparing to the result, to see if it needs another blow or two.

== Distillation Coil ==

Requires: 1 [[Glass Pipe]]

How to: Set heater to Pinpoint. Don't worry about the bulb. +8k can be achieved with this procedure: Have patience, and focus on what you are doing. A for push into. N for turn. D for wait for a drop.
Begin with: AAAADDANNDDANN. Then repeat this until the bulb is reached: DDANNDDANNDDDAN.
When the bulb is reached, pull the pipe all the way out, and use the remaining drops for the pipe to make sure the pipe is as center as possible.
When the pipe has stopped dropping, turn until you get the best quality.
Now turn it another 360, when turning the pipe, it doesn't do exactly 360, but a bit less. That means the maximum quality might be 5x360 away.
Keep turning 360 until the quality drops, then go back to the maximum value quality.

== Florence Flask ==

Requires: 1 [[Glass Pipe]]

How to: Set heater to Gradual. Don't worry about the lip and the neck. I've achieved 8.2k with this procedure: Push into the Glory Hole 11 ticks. Turn constantly. Immediately after reaching 11 ticks, begin blowing. While it heats, do at least 5 blows, to expand the center. Move the pipe two ticks in, to let the front heat a bit. Thereafter move the pipe four ticks out, to let the back heat a bit. Pull all the way out. When out, blow until it has the right size.

== Test Tube ==

Requires: 1 [[Glass Rod]]

How to: Set heater to Gradual. Don't worry about the bottom or the tip, +8k can be achieved with this procedure: Turn constantly. Push into the Glory Hole one tick at a time, letting the rod heat all the way in. When the rod is fully heated, either let it stay, or pull it all the way back out, by holding down S. Let the rod cool a bit, until colour seems the same the entire length of the rod. Blow with pauses between each blow, at least 4 times, maybe a fifth, depending on the resulting size.

== Thistle Tube ==

Requires: 1 [[Glass Pipe]]

How to: Set heater to Pinpoint. Turn constantly. You want to try to make both the bottom and the bulb. Begin by heating the bottom, blow a couple of times, move the pipe in to heat the bulb. I set my window up, so I can place the chat window, in the right distance to the glory hole, so the end of the pipe just shows, when you should not move it further in. That way you don't have to check the goal to determine if you're far enough into the glory hole.
After this it is practice, practice, practice, until you get some good results. But this should at least give you some good advice.

== Wine Glass ==

Requires: 1 [[Glass Rod]]

Guides/Dear Ariella New Player Guide

2019-06-01T19:00:34Z

Lucia-Aurelius: Added carving level changes

{{Languages}}
{{DEFAULTSORT:Guides/Dear_Ariella_New_Player_Guide}}{{DISPLAYTITLE:Dear Ariella New Player Guide}}

==Dear Ariella, What do we do?==

This is the dilemma of the new player often referred to as a "Newbie". After four tales of playing I will attempt to give some helpful hints to get started and continue in your everyday life. Good luck my fellow Egyptian as this is a wonderfully complicated game and enjoyable socially. Our Egyptian slang will be in ().

Love thy neighbor is a good virtue and keeps you from getting poked with sharpened sticks.

* One word about Test of the Obelisk. Each region has a queue to sign up for building obelisks to pass this test. Check the wiki and get signed up. You will also need to pass principles for Test of the Obelisk. When you build an obelisk to complete the list of principles you only need to build a size 8 obelisk (the size 8 obelisk may be torn down afterwards and the mats recovered). The message is not very clear about what size is needed to pass '''principles''' only! PLEASE BUILD A SIZE 8 OBELISK TO PASS PRINCIPLES ONLY or it could be construed as jumping the queue in that region. For Test of the Obelisk a player builds the biggest obelisk in that area (you lose all mats if you tear down your obelisk if you have passed this test). As the game progresses more types of obelisks are able to be built. In other words, if the current type of obelisk in that area reaches too ridiculous a size for you to easily pass the test, just wait for another type of obelisk to be unlocked.

* Ask potential neighbors if they think you are building too close to them when you find your potential Home Sweet Home.

===I need help! And I need it now!===

Are you in distress and need a helping hand or found a possible bug in code? Click yourself -> Special -> Call a (see the 3 choices below).

* Game Masters (GMs) - General distress call. Your call disappears if you log out.
* Developers (Devs) - For a potential bug or serious issue. Your call stays in line after you log out.
* World Builders (WB) - Terrain problems. Your call stays in line after you log out

===Miscellaneous Tips to make you look savvy===

* Put up your F3 map right away. You can stretch it and move it all over.
* [time:hhmm] To show the time in everyone else's time zone
* /cmd or click Self -> Utility -> Information -> Show the Command List
* /afk to show yourself as... AFK
* /chat <whomever>
* /clockloc to turn on your Current Year and Month/clock/present location or Self -> Options -> Little window -> Clock/changes to Clockloc so click again.
* /ignore <whomever> or /silentignore <whomever> or /squelch <whomever>
* /info <whomever> to see that avatar's information box.
* /tell <whomever>.....to talk to someone in Main, but beware that most don't notice!

* For Current Events Calendar....Click Self or hit Escape -> Utility -> Show Calendar.
* To minimize Items/Skills/Principles Tabs, click on the active tab.
* Camera views F5 - F8. F7 is most commonly used. F8 has two settings, hit once (not used often) and then twice. This second view is great for prospecting and for camp decoration. Click self -> Utility -> Camera.
* Hit F11 to bring up the Friends List. Hit F11 to reduce Friends List to only those friends online. Hit F11 a third time to make it go away. Click bottom field box where it says "Enter Player Name" and type a player name to enter it or delete one you already have.
*To change your appearance...click Self -> Appearance.
* Guilds. You are not limited to only one guild. They are like social clubs, learning and regional clubs, test clubs and skill clubs. The Goods guild is excellent to do trading. [[:Category:Guilds|Guilds]] <-- Click
* How to dig a hole. Have a shovel on you. Make sure the dirt icon appears, usually in the upper left. Click yourself -> Skills -> Dig a Hole.
* Pick up your winebook at any School of Body. Before you drink wine, please ask your host which quality wineglasses are best to get points from his particular wine instead of randomly grabbing glasses. One to Two glasses of wine is considered a polite amount since wine bottles give only 7 glass fulls. The host may say otherwise. Three glasses of beer per person is fine because beer kettles give 21 glasses each time.
* When eating food, put up a chat with your alt or spouse as a notepad and record the duration of time so you know when the stat boost will wear off.
* Iron pots for machines are made in Master Casting Boxes (600 Charcoal to fire) for 20 Iron and 20 beeswax in 10 minutes while Iron COOKpots with 3 Iron and 3 beeswax for Kitchens are made in a Student's Casting Box (100 Charcoal to fire).
* Consider paying for a year at once and getting free camp decoration (do a World Builder ticket), a sheep(male or female at School of Worship) papyrus seeds and fireworks(at School of Art), a medium stone (at School of Architecture), and 4 cornerstones(put immediately in your inventory).
* A good browser function is Ctrl+F to bring up a Search tool to use when you have a Foraging page up.
* Macros are wonderful to use but BEWARE! If you do not respond to a chat and are macroing you can be thrown in game jail.
* SO YOU DON'T TAKE IT ALL! Click Camel Pens, Greenhouses, Silos, Forges, etc. click then Utility -> Turn on Verify Take All.

=== Critter Care ===

'''Camels''' stud...1 male 4 female (Max camels in pen is 10). Lure a camel into the pen by loading straw. Make sure the door is open (click the pen, should say 'Close the door'). 'Check the pen for wild camels' and if it says 'They even nibbled at your straw' so you're getting closer to the amount needed. 

'''Sheep''' in pairs...3 male 3 female is best. 

'''Rabbits''' breed...like rabbits. They do not stud. Keep 2-3 of each sex in a hutch with about 300-500 carrots. ALWAYS remove your rabbits from your hutch at night or they may multiply too much, eat all the carrots and escape!
 

'''Beetles''' are good at 2 males and 4 or more females. 

Get '''Hens''' from Examining Pale Pampas Grass and '''Roosters''' (but rarer) from Dark Pampas Grass. Building 4 Chicken Coops is a good idea. Put Hens in one (roosters eat too much and are not needed to make eggs) and then move eggs to hatch in the other 3 coops. Eggs are hatched and Hens lay at 6 o'clock so check then and remove the live cheekins from the 3 egg coops so they don't munch all the food.

'''Bovine''' stud...1 male to ? females. Click [[Ranch]] to learn more.

=== Where shall I live? ===

Take your time! Don't rush into building your home at the first place you land. Yes, everyone is hurrying around doing things like busy little bees. But patience is a virtue also.

Egypt is divided into regions (each tale the number changes). There are 3 faction areas: Kush (south), Hyksos (central), and Meshwesh (north). Each faction has a capitol city with a chariot stop and all 7 types of Schools. Universities are scattered around the map with one set of the 7 in each faction area.

A polite citizen of Egypt will ask the current residents if it will be encroaching into their camp to live there. Please never build right next to anyone or crowd others already there. Leave plenty of space (your own whole green area) for yourself to expand with more compounds, warehouses, flowers, etc. coming later into the tale. '''Always clean up the 'Newbie' beginner machines like your small distaff, brick racks, flax combs.'''

Chariot Stops (cs) are not up and running at the beginning of the game. There is a University Tech that will need donations so we citizens can repair them. They are the transportation network in the game, instantly transporting you to different regions. So building decently near a chariot stop saves a huge amount of play time in the game.

Consider that papyrus planting (pappy) must be done along the Nile.

Good components for your home sweet home... LOOK FOR FLAT HOMESTEAD AREAS. Building your compounds on shorelines is important. Quite a few higher wood-giving trees (Bottle Trees give 5 wood each for example), water (for kettles), mud/sand (for bricks), silt (for firebricks) nearby. Put up your F3 map (you can stretch it way out from the bottom right corner). Look for large green grass areas. You will need lots of flat area to build many Ranches and veggie fields.

If you speak a language other than English there are communities that gather that speak mainly one language like French or German that might be handy to live in or join their guild for ease of play.

=== What's the best way to set up camp? ===

Time saving building ideas and machine setups in compounds are at [[Camp_Setup_Guide]].

WARNING: PLEASE THINK OUT WHERE YOU ARE BUILDING YOUR COMPOUND BEFORE FINALIZING IT. ASKING A GM TO MOVE IT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS. A COMPOUND, ONCE BUILT CANNOT BE ROTATED FROM IT'S ORIGINAL ORIENTATION.

Guide to building a [[Shops| Bazaar]] (bought in the Store for 500 Perk Points) so you can set up easy trades!

Build one compound right up against water. Why? You will be building many machines inside your compound. Before building a compound, stand where the fish or water icon appears in the top left(have a jug and/or fishing pole in your inventory).

When building beehives (apiaries) and serpentariums (cobra pits) try using /crowd to check to see the crowding percentage. The less crowding percentage the better for a queen bee to settle in or cobras to slither in. Try for 1% crowding which is a good 30 coords from any other buildings. Crowding also affects how quickly beeswax and honey production renews. You must take the honey and beeswax out for it to renew again. Higher Speed on your avatar keeps less bees from escaping. These facts are another reason not to build compounds (your camp) too closely to others.

Build a compound for parties! It could have several wine tables in the center, many kitchens near the outer walls and chests for supplies.

=== Talking about your home sweet home...what is this Cornerstone? ===

https://www.desert-nomad.com/Game/Subscribe

*Monthly payment receive one cornerstone right away, a 2nd one after 6 months, a 3rd one after 12 months and your last one after 18 months.
*Prepay for 6 months and receive 2 cornerstones immediately, and then same as above.
*Prepay for 12 months and receive 3 cornerstones immediately and your last one after 18 months.
*Prepay full tale and receive all 4 cornerstones imeediately plus you are entitled to Camp Decoration. Place a World Builder call under Self -> Utility... -> Call a Game Master... -> World Builder Call. To see what you can choose:
https://atitd.wiki/tale8/Pre-pay_Camp_Decoration 
https://atitd.wiki/tale8/Requires::Trees 
http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale7/Plants

After you build your compound you need to add your Cornerstone to the compound to keep it from deteriorating and having to repair it. Click your compound -> Utility -> Install Cornerstone. You can do this at any time before or after you expand but it is good to install very soon after initially building or the compound will start deteriorating without it.

You can also Remove your Cornerstone if you want to move.

See where your cornerstones are installed by clicking Self -> Special -> Show my Cornerstones.

Occasionally portable cornerstones are given away in Events. You will be able to give or sell these to other players but you cannot do that with normal cornerstones.

=== Universities, Schools, Techs, Skills...what's the difference? ===

Universities have Technologies (tech) that we must all donate to so we can learn to do new things. But when Technologies are first opened for donations, they are expensive, so it is each Egyptian's duty to pay in materials (mats) that are required. Once a Technology is unlocked then that tech is free to all citizens of that faction of Egypt. Taking over regions for your faction involves donating to tribute posts. Find regions that have Universities and that will lower the cost of the donations for Technologies.

Universities also provide Tests and Principles for each of the seven Disciplines as time goes by. To open a Test for your faction someone must Demonstrate and provide the necessary materials. That Test then shows up in System for you to get it IF your are high enough in level.

Schools have Skills you can buy. Schools also provide the same Initiations (or starter tests) for the seven Disciplines the same as Universities do. You will find a set of the seven different types of Schools at each faction capitol.

To see which Tests and Disciplines are open click the gold pyramid in the top left of your screen.

Both Universities and Schools have avatar level requirements to be able to add the Technology or Skill under your Skills tab. So be careful to check the wiki and NOT ruuuuun before you know if you are high enough in level to get the skill or tech.

To check what level you are and what you can currently buy at a School or obtain free at a University, click the clipboard icon on your screen. You can type /info <your name> to check your level too.

Teach what you know! Once you have learned a Technology from a University, you can teach it to other players. Learn from your buddies. Click someone else to see what you can teach them. You may teach or receive a lesson once every 5 minutes. You may teach or receive only one Technology at a time. You cannot concurrently learn and teach at the same time. Social gatherings like digs are excellent times to teach.

=== Expedition Sites....Waypoints...Which is Which? ===

First, go buy Exploration Travel at the School of Harmony for 2 Leather.

Second, you need to set your Home Location by standing in the spot you want as home. Click yourself->Navigation->Set your Home Location.

Third, find the closest Expedition Site so you can set it as "Make this my Expedition Site".

Now you can warp back to your Expedition Site for less cost than if you set a Waypoint at your home. Once you get to your Expedition Site you can also click it and choose to warp to the Home Location you set earlier (at a less cost than if you Waypoint home). So save on Travel Time by using Expedition Sites.

=== Setting Offline Chores ===

Click Self -> Options -> Offline Chores -> Offline Options.

After completing the required amount of manual production you can choose to magically produce mats while offline. BEWARE—TO GAIN THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF TRAVEL TIME, DO NOT CHECK ANY OTHER OFFLINE CHORE. Each offline chore reduces the amount of travel time gained while offline.

=== Picking up the pace on bricks and boards and flaxing and veggies ===

{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
| [[File:Circle_of_Wood_Planes.jpg|200px]]
|-
|}

Boards...build several wood planes in a circle so you can stand in the center of them. Let's get rid of the chat popups, shall we? Click yourself then Options then scroll down to Notifications then choose "Use the Chat area instead of popups for many messages so it doesn't obscure your view when the stone blades break.

Next let's learn to minimize the chats so we can use hotkeys. YOU MUST MINIMIZE CHATS TO USE HOTKEYS. Options->Chat-Related->Scroll to Minimize->Choose both options in there SO YOU CAN ALSO SEE YOUR BUDDIES TALK.

Second, we need to enable hotkeys for things. Options->One-Click and Related->Go ahead choose Make Tab like a Mouse (you'll need this to save your clicker finger), Enable hotkeys on Brick Racks (we'll get to that in a minute), Enable hotkeys on flax, plus any others you'd like.

Last, MINIMIZE CHATS BY HITTING THE ENTER KEY. Hold down your P key (not just click) and swipe your cursor in a circle around all the wood planes. Voila! Tons of boards in a few seconds. It's also a good idea to have a bunch of stone blades on you to Repair.

Bricks....build several Flimsy Brick Racks. Since you can carry only 500 Items, 225 Mud plus 150 Straw plus 75 Sand is a good plan for a set of bricks at one standing. It is good to have extra Boards in your inventory to replace the brick racks you lose. Hit Enter to minimize chats. Hold down the B key and swipe over the Flimsy Brick Racks to quickly make many. When the bricks turn white, hold down the T key to Take them all up as you swipe over the whole lot.

Flaxing...<< DOES NOT WORK TO KEEP YOU FROM RUNNING IN TALE 7---DO NOT enable Options/One Click and Related/Enable hotkeys on flax. UNCHECK that one or your avatar will lose time running to every flax bed.>> You already made Tab like Mouse for boards. Right click to pin your Plant flax box. Place your mouse so it hovers over the Plant flax box. Use the Tab key to plant and the up and down arrows to move as you plant. Practice with rows of 3x6 and then try more later.

To grow then harvest what you planted stand in the center of your beds. Hover your mouse over the first flax bed and Tab, then move cursor over middle of box and tap Tab until you can select Weed and/or Water. Do that for each flax bed quickly and come back around for another go if your type of flax requires it. Then do the last round to Harvest flax.

To grow seeds from flax you WILL want to enable hotkeys...Click yourself -> Options -> One Click and Related -> Enable hotkeys on flax (check that one). Plant flax as above, but when harvesting seeds, hover the mouse over the first flax bed then hit the 'H' key and continue to the next flax bed. Your avatar will run to each bed.

Veggies...click Self/Options/One Click and Related/Choose "Plant all crops where you stand".

=== Who's yer Papy? ===

Or more accurately what is papyrus (papy) and how do we get more of it? The School of Worship gives out 10 free fertile papyrus seeds to prepaid subscriptions of at least 6 months. For optimum growing, take 30 seeds and ask in regional chat what the coords for the starting and stopping points are for papy planting along the Nile. Someone has usually put signs to mark those points. There are dead growing zones along the Nile that will not grow papy and experienced players know this. Announcing your papy growing in region chat will warn other players not to pick your papy.

Stand right next to the Nile(or you cannot find the Papyrus Seeds option). Click Self-->Right click the Plant menu to pin. Click a shoreline spot ahead of you and run north. Click Papyrus Seeds every coord or two to drop a seed in the Nile. Continue planting seeds until you run out of seeds. Twiddle your thumbs for a few minutes.

While you are twiddling, run back to about 100 coords north of your beginning seeding spot...and wait...and wait, twiddle some more. Is it really going to show up? And voila! You see your thin-stemmed yellow papy plant along the edge of the Nile about 10 minutes after planting your first seed. Run north, click and pick, try to click and miss the papy and run back to click again. Continue until about 100 coords north of your last planted seed.

And guess what? Run across the Nile to the other side, run south and click and pick and miss some more! It grows on both sides of the Nile.

Still more! Papy magically shows up in the nearby lakes and ponds to the east too, commonly called papy traps. It's up to you whether to take the time to pick that extra papy.

Time to dry it! But again, look to the experienced players in regional chat and say, "I am but a new citizen and know not where the papy mountain is!" The locals will be happy to give coords. Fertile papyrus must be dried at high altitude to maximize the seeds. Public drying racks and flax hammocks are already there because our Egyptian citizens are so thoughtful!

=== Wassup with this Acro thing? ===

Acrobatics (acro) is a Test from the University of Body. Your avatar will be gyrating in 28 different odd ways (eventually). You will receive four Moves to begin with when you pick up the test. Go up to other players, ask politely "Acro?" then click the player -> Tests ->Test of the Acrobat so he sees the Acro list.

Click the Main tab and see what type of teacher you are after you both click an acro move that you have on your acro list.

You will need to be a certain distance away from any others to acro or you will receive a message in Main saying others are in your way and it won't work.

The little Acro icon in the upper left will tell you when you can acro again and not "Go too fast".

If the other player is your Master it means that you WILL either 1) be taught a facet of that move after one or more attempts or 2) you will Follow if you keep trying. If you Follow then you will not be taught a facet by that other player.

In order of most likely to teach a facet: Master, Great, Pretty Good (pgt), Last Resort (lr), Blur.

'''Immediately''' tell the other player which teacher type they are for you.

It is advantageous for you to list in your Info (click yourself -> Utilities -> Edit my Info) the avatar name that was YOUR Master or Great teacher like so...Master: Ariella Great: Pascalito.

You will at first need to teach 7 facets to pass Principles of Acrobatics. You can only learn 1 facet per move per player until that point. Then you need to teach 7 more (a total of 14 Facets Taught) so you can learn 2 facets per move per player. After that point it is good to contact your Masters and Great teachers to retry the moves so you can learn a second facet from them.

Watch on the Egyptwide channel for Acro Parties. Consider helping to teach for even quicker progression on this acro test.

You gain 1 Dexterity point as you gain more Moves. Dexterity improves how quickly you can run offroad. It takes 7 facets to have a complete move.

A Master will ALWAYS either teach you a facet or you will Follow their move...ALWAYS. So keep acroing a move until you do one or the other. This applies for the second facet too.

Knowing the above, take a day to go around Egypt and ask player by player to acro ONE time so you can see if they are your Master. Then revisit those Masters once in awhile. This is the quickest way to gain facets.

=== Guilds. You mean I can be in more than one Guild?! ===

Yes, dear citizens of Egypt, you can be in many guilds. The first Guild hall (gh) you make is usually your own personal guild for just you or you and your special one or you and your drinking buds that will live together. Compounds, chests, warehouses can then be put in that guild name so that if one Elder decides to stop playing then all their things do not crumble to dust.

After that you will be deciding to join other larger guilds for the purpose of helping to skill or learning a new hobby or just to have fun egyptwide with your sense of humour. Each guild you join will automatically put up a chat you cannot close again unless you go to the guild hall and kick yourself out or an Elder does that at your request.

=== The Wiki is your best friend! Cuddle it and learn how to use it! ===

This means you should do more than just read the helpful wiki. Get yourself set up so you can start editing and having fun on your User page!

https://atitd.wiki/tale8/Main_Page

Login. Type in your avatar name and hit Enter then type in your password.

Find Users at the left. Copy the formatted line in the directions. Read the directions. Do the directions.

Put part of your user name in the Search. Your empty User page will be sitting there waiting for you to play with! It will be in red until you click it and go there. That first jump to your User page automatically opens it up to edit. Otherwise, click on Formatting help in the Navigation Box at the upper left column to learn what cool stuff you can do with your page. Click the edit tab to start making your User page the coolest one on the Wiki!

If nothing else, use = A Title = or == Another title == or === Yet Another Title === to put paragraphs that are individually editable. By the way, one equal sign on each side of the title gives the largest font size and then increasingly smaller after that.

And heck, then there's always the cheating way to make an awesome page...go copy the format in edit mode off of another User page! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...or so they say. Whomever 'they' is.

===I've got the whole tale to play! Uhhh, but now what do I do with it? ===

You've built your home sweet home, laid out your spacious camp area, started getting levels by finishing your principles and tests tabs. But you're standing forlorn in the middle of your grass wondering which way to go. So many things to choose from.

Try clicking the gold pyramid in the upper left. There are 7 disciplines to choose from with multiple Tests in each discipline. If this is your first tale many players pick and choose from each discipline in what seems the easiest Tests and most fun to your particular tastes. As you pass a Test it lights up on your pyramid and you have an increasingly higher title in your Info.

Some players decide just gaining levels is enough. You might decide to dabble in the variety of skills like vine growing and wine making, or beer making, cooking, genetics, flowers, chemistry, blacksmithing, gemcutting, etc. Each one takes practice and work to achieve expertise. Whatever suits your fancy is the thing to do in this game!

For those who do not wish to dig through a reorganized wiki page to find information, here is a link to the [[Pig/old|original pig page]]

==Wild Pigs==
Individual pigs spawn in grassy areas.

A player with an equipped [[knife]] (higher quality than stone or flint) and an available focus stat can attempt to slaughter a pig. If successful, the bacon, ham, and/or fat, are placed in the player's inventory. If you are not successful, the main will display You failed to kill the {Boar¦Sow} and as you tried it ran away! and the pig will disappear. If you don't have an available focus stat, the main will display Ow! You accidentally stab yourself instead of the {Boar¦Sow}, your focus is all over the place.

Any player can lead the pig by dropping dried [[wheat]] within 7 coordinates. Roasted wheat will also work.
* I found that a wild pig became unresponsive to additional wheat after consuming 40 dropped wheat. -Donk79 (observed on Year 3, Peret IV 28, in Arsinoe)

==Breeds==
There are twelve breeds of pig. Nine of those breeds have been documented and led to swineries. The data for bacon, ham and fat is from pigs slaughtered in the wild. Those killed in a swinery produce more, at the expense of the survivors' happiness.

Pig rarity can be sorted into three categories: Common, Uncommon, and Rare. Common pigs are more likely to be found in the wild, have broader feeding ranges, reproduce more often, are less likely to cause fence damage, and search in a smaller range when asked to hunt for clay. Don't stress out too much trying to figure out which pigs are "common" and which are "uncommon". The pig system was written by more than one developer, and they used two different systems to classify the pigs. For Tale 8, "how common a pig is" is not the most important thing to know. It may be more important in future tales. When it comes to finding a wild pig the rarest ones are Bubastian, Letolian, Naqadish, and Silenian. There have been three known wild Naqadish pigs, and the others have yet to be discovered.

==Domestic Pigs==
A player with a lasso in their inventory and [[ranching]] level 2 can put a pig into a swinery, as long as there are fewer than 15 pigs in residence. If there are multiple swineries nearby, the pig will go into the one closest to the player. Once a pig is installed in a swinery, it can be named, and anyone with access to the swinery can remove a pig as a pet.

==Swineries==
Raising pigs is not for the casual Egyptian! Pigs' dietary needs are specific, they vary by breed, and improperly fed pigs can cause serious problems. Refer to the section on [https://atitd.wiki/tale8/Pig#Happiness_Meter| Happiness].

===Food and Water Trough===
[[File:Full_Trough.png|300px|left]]
A swinery needs two troughs, one for food and the other for water. They are both accessed by clicking anywhere on the swinery. The Water portion begins with a capacity of 500 and can be upgraded to twice that size. The Food portion has a capacity of 10,000 units of feed, divided in three sections, one for each feed type.
* 1 db spoiled food = 13 units
* 1 db wheat = 5 units
* 1 db sour milk = 7 units 
Every three server hours, or if you prefer, every 9 game hours on the in-game clock (refer to [[time]]), pigs will check the trough for food to see if the ratio of ingredients is within their preferred range. If so, there is a 50% chance they will consume a random ingredient; then a 50% chance they will consume a second, different ingredient; then a 50% chance they will consume the third, remaining ingredient. Each pig (of that breed) will consume 1-3 units of each ingredient chosen.

Pigs eat in a predetermined sequence according to breed. Efforts to determine that sequence are [https://atitd.wiki/tale8/Pig/old#Feeding_Sequence here].

===Successful Feed Ratios===
The trough interface indicates the mix of the three feed types, listed as a percentage of each kind. Because of rounding, the percentages will normally not add up to 100%. 
Numbers in bold: When testing with previously successful values for the other two food types, the pigs have been "Hungry" when the ratio is past the number in bold. (Don't let your trough's values go past that point, your pigs Will be hungry.)

Additional fine print on pigs that will eat with one feed type at 0%:
*First, the pig looks at the ratio of all three feed types. Some breeds will accept a trough that has a feed type at 0%.
*Second, if the ratio is acceptable, the pig decides which foods it will eat. It will decide yes/no for each of the three types.
**If the pig chooses "yes" for a food at 0%, it will be marked as "hungry" and may damage fences, even though all three feed types are within its tolerance.
*Then each pig of that breed will eat 1-3 units of the foods chosen.
There should be a breed that will accept wheat at 0%. It has not yet been identified, <s>but Naqadish is a possibility</s>

===Unsuccessful Feed Ratios===
Feed ratios for each breed which have resulted in hungry pigs can be found [https://atitd.wiki/tale8/Pig#Unsuccessful_Food_Ratios here]. When Bubastian, Letolian or Silenian pigs are found, their preferences will be added.

===Useful Combinations===
A Windsnyer sow should be a good mate for any rare boar, because of its wide range of acceptable feed ratios. Windsnyers reproduce quickly, and eventually they should produce a piglet of the boar's breed, even though the offspring usually follow the breed of the sow.

Now that we have a good idea of the proper feed range for many breeds, we can successfully put multiple breeds in the same pen. Here are some that will happily eat from a carefully filled trough:

Yes, the larger the quantity of food, the harder it is for the pigs to push it out of balance. [[User:Spatulus|Spatulus]] ([[User talk:Spatulus|talk]]) 15:41, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

===Fence Condition===
If the ratio of feed types in the trough is not within a pig's tolerance, the pigs of that breed will be "hungry" and will damage the fence as they attempt to escape and find food. This mechanic has not been thoroughly tested, as no players have reported what happens when they are brave enough to stand aside and let their pigs starve, escape, and raid their nearby warehouses, chests, boxes, grain silos, storage barrels, aging racks, herb stash, and any other places to store items that are edible and can be cooked with.

A fence that is undamaged will have a full green status bar. A moderately damaged fence will have crosspieces at a diagonal. If the fence condition drops below 50%, the status bar turns red, and sections of fence will be missing. Rare pigs should damage a fence faster than common pigs. Piglets do not cause damage, but will still mature into fence-destroying adults, even if not fed.

"Repair Fence" will be visible in the menu of a swinery with a damaged fence. Materials needed have included wood, boards, rope, and nails.

==Breeding and Crossbreeding==
When a male and a female of any breed are in the same swinery, they will reproduce, as long as 1) both parents are properly fed 2) there is water in the trough and, 3) there are not more than 15 pigs in residence. The breed of the offspring usually follows the sow, but occasionally, piglets will be the boar's breed. Unfortunately, two pigs of different breeds will not crossbreed to produce a third breed, but more pigs of both parents' breed can eventually be produced.

A swinery with 15 or fewer pigs, and both sexes, will produce one more litter of piglets, and this can result in a swinery with over 30 pigs. Once there are 16 or more pigs, they do stop reproducing.

Common pigs will produce piglets faster than rare pigs. The fertility rate is linked to the breed of the sow.

Pigs can be prevented from breeding. Don't water them.

*'''Thirsty''' - When the water trough is empty, all pigs in the swinery will be labelled as "Thirsty". Pigs should not die in a swinery as long as there is water in their trough, but they will attempt to escape before starving to death. A swinery with 28 pigs has emptied out its water trough within 24 hours.
*'''Hungry''' - Pigs attempt to feed every 3 server hours (every 9 in-game hours). If the feed ratios in the trough are not aligned with that breed's preferences, clicking on any pig of that breed will display "Hungry" until the next successful feeding cycle.
*'''Starving!''' - A pig that is "Hungry" for an undetermined number of feeding cycles will also display "Starving!". These pigs will damage the fence and eventually escape the swinery and raid nearby storage containers for '''anything''' edible. This has not been fully tested, but it assumed that either the owner of the storage unit or the owner of the swinery will be notified in some manner. Any player should be able to slaughter a roaming, starving pig, but the pig should not otherwise despawn until its need for food is satisfied. 
Even under negative living conditions, piglets will mature into adults. Hunger and Thirst do not seem to negatively affect any pig's happiness at this time.

==Happiness Meter==
[[File:Wild.png]] 
Clicking on an individual pig will bring up a menu that includes a "Happiness" status bar. All wild pigs should have a bar at "neutral" with a thin black line at the midpoint, zero. Each time a domestic pig eats, it should gain happiness. Positive happiness reveals a blue bar, and negative happiness shows a red bar. Happiness of +100 and the meter is green.

Each time a pig living in a swinery is slaughtered, all the remaining pigs which live there have a happiness reduction of 20. A pig not living in that swinery does not seem to notice the event.

Asking a pet pig to hunt reduces its happiness slightly each time. Once the happiness drops below neutral, there is an increasing risk that the pig will "run away" (despawn) with each work request. Pigs with happiness at -100 (full red) have been taken out as pets and have not spontaneously despawned.

Happiness does '''not''' seem to affect or be affected by:
*reproduction
*piglets growing into adults
*fence damaging
*being thirsty, hungry, or starving (except that eating from the trough does increase happiness)
*taking a pig as a pet

==Pet Pigs==

Any adult pig in a Swinery can be taken as a pet and it will then follow you like a cat until you either put it in a swinery, release it through its utility menu, or it despawns from being overworked. Asking a pig to "work" (currently, hunting for clay) will gradually reduce its happiness. Once its happiness is "in the red" there is an increasing risk that it will despawn each time you ask it to work.

From Malard on 31 Oct 2018 (that makes it official, right?): "okay, so i am going to publish the actual mechanic here, because i dont want this to be black box 
if (Pig.Happiness < 0) {
var runawayChance = TRTwister(0, 100); --Roll between 0 and 100
if (Pig.Happiness + runawayChance < 0) {
return (1); --Runs Away
}
}
return (0); --Stays
basically you have a swing, -100 to +100 
once the pigs happy goes below 0, then each time you do an action (i.e. search for clay or mushrooms [in the future]) then it will run this bit of code 
essentially the lower the unhappy the more likely the pig will run away. its very simple"

Logging off with a pet pig will not cause issues, but if that pet it a sow, it will ''appear'' to be a boar from that time forward. Use caution if you house your pigs by gender!

==Soft Clay Patches==

Oddly, pigs are pretty good at finding hidden patches of Soft Clay that are not visible from the ground, as Scientists have been unable to devise suitable stable mechanisms for building on Clay. Soft Clay patches are needed to find suitable locations for building Raeli ovens. Some pigs will find patches other breeds cannot find. They prospect for patches that are suitable for building an oven on. So its a good way to basically work out what a patch of ground can spawn.

Searching:
Results show up in Main, but the player needs to locate the pig when it finds clay. The pig has dug a hole that has the same appearance as a hole that you'd dig for stones. It disappears after around 10 seconds, then the pig rejoins you. As there is a delay on pigs following you already, this can be missed as you might think the pig is just taking a while to catch up.

Each breed of pig may discover a different type of clay. Raeli ovens built on different types of clay will not interfere with each other, but similar types will. In other words, an oven built on Koptish pig clay will interfere with an oven on another nearby Koptish clay patch. An oven on Koptish clay can be built directly next to an oven on Mendeshian clay, however. The game will allow you to build two Raeli Oven Structures very close to one another, even if the soft clay patches were identified by the same breed of pig. However, when attempting to install the dredging mechanism, you will receive the message: "As you inspect the ground below, you notice another dredging system from a nearby oven that will make it impossible to Install a dredge here." Tearing down the preexisting oven resolves this conflict.

Each breed of pig has a different search radius. According to Malard, the smallest range is 352 feet, and the largest is 704 feet. (A coordinate is 16 feet.) Players have reported that some pigs can find clay patches farther away than their handler can see them.

==Mushrooms==
''This concept has not been implemented yet.'' 
Pigs can find wild mushrooms when you take them out for a walk. The rarer the pig type the rarer the mushrooms they will likely find. Mushrooms should spawn outside of their usual time, but it will generally follow the rules of ecology.

==Comments and Additional Observations==

All reports of piglets have been same breed as the parent sow. There's no reason to believe that cross-breeding is implemented or working yet or, given that they're not eating yet and they're supposed to be fed/happy to breed, that the sows weren't already pregnant at time of capture. I wouldn't trust any breeding or food requirement data until they're eating and other things pigs are supposed to do are working. - Ashen (11 Oct 2018)

I have had piglets from that are the breed of the boar. Eugenius(18 Oct 2018)

Slaughtering does not seem to be an effective means of birth control yet. (Not sure if emotions are "working") 6 boars killed Peret IV-23, Leaving 1 boar, 2 sows. On next check of the swinery on Peret IV-25, there were 7 piglets.

Slaughtering a pig in a pen gives the same output, regardless of whether it is a sow or a boar.

When feeding, if the initial ratio % is within their accepted range, a herd of pigs can eat the remaining % of an ingredient in their trough, leaving it at 0%. The pigs may be labelled as "Hungry" even though they did feed. I am assuming that there was an insufficient quantity of the desired ingredient, so they ate what was left. ([[User:Peacefulness|Peacefulness]] 25 Oct 2018)

<s>Regardless of whether it eats, a pig seems to drink 2 units of water each time it checks the trough for its preferred foods.</s> (This is incorrect. Water is consumed approximately once per hour (2 per pig) and the food cycle happens every (3rd? 4th? please confirm) water cycle. -Idris)

The food cycle occurs every three server hours, which should be every 9 hours on the in-game clock. ([[User:Peacefulness|Peacefulness]] 28 Oct 2018)

*Ikenials have fed at a trough where the truncated sour milk value is 0. They have consumed sour milk in the past, so it is assumed that there is still some in the trough, but they are not labelled as "hungry" because milk was not chosen at their most recent feeding. (Peacefulness, 24 Oct 2018)
*Pigs can choose not to eat even if foods are in their required range, per Malard in regards to a pig that hadn't touched the food very long time but still wasn't hungry. They seem to remain or return to not-hungry just as if they ate even if they choose not to. (Ashen, 31 Oct 2018)

Unless you're trying to crossbreed pigs <s>for rare breeds</s> (Pigs cannot be crossbred for rare pig types), allowing pigs to breed may be a bad thing. Consider that:
* Piglets eat as much as adults
* <s>Hungry piglets damage fences as quickly as adults</s> Per Malard, piglets do not damage fences. However, an error in the code (now corrected) was causing fences to be damaged more rapidly than intended.
* Piglets cannot be moved
* Killing the excess pigs will anger other pigs
They're a big liability, and with limited use for the meat products, there don't seem to be any positives outside crossbreeding. [[User:Spatulus|Spatulus]] 11:04, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

A swinery with 28 pigs will empty out its water trough in fewer than 24 hours. They did have an adequate quantity of food, so even though they were marked "Thirsty" they were not yet hungry. No fence damage this time. ([[User:Peacefulness|Peacefulness]] 01 Nov 2018)

A pet pig can be released. This gives the message "Your Boar ran away, you try to give chase, but it's too late!" There is an "Are you sure?" confirmation dialog box.
