Books for your Library
In progress, see Discord Dump below for overview
Passes
Each week, the library with the most points for each wing advances. To pass the test, advance all seven wings of your library
Malard Discord Dump
Okay, so i will explain how stuff works So the library itself is unchanged in terms of you build it but now you must pass the test by having the best of each wing lobby = 1tp, scholar's atheneum = 4 tp's rare book section = 7 so very good rewards each wing can hold a finite amount of books that you as the owner of the library put in, other players dont put them in themselves lobby has 200 books, rare book section holds just 25 the book you add will have a quality rating, this is based on how well it was crafted in the first place the score you get for adding the book is based on different factors. Namely how unique is it Books from the same faction members will suffer a 1/25th penalty for each book already in that wing for that faction Books from the same author will suffer a 1/2 penalty for each book already in that wing for that author and Books from the same region will suffer a 1/4 penalty for each book already in that wing for the same region so basically the first book you put in a wing will always score 100% but follow up books quite possibly will score less, and if you keep trying to put in crap books they will score less and less you get to see the score the book will be worth before adding it to the wing. Books are tradable until they are put into the library. Quality of book you create is based on the materials that you put into it when crafting it. The more pages and the better quality the better then the better the quality cord you use to tie the leaves together (hence linen cord) the better the quality of the cover material and the better the foil material etc there are lots of options, each option can have a positive warping effect on the quality of the book once you've made a blank book, you or someone else can take it to a region and author it, it takes 10 minutes and 1/3rd the quality of the book in ink and a quill the ink is consumed each week, the best wing wins, so there are 7 awards a week and you can compete in all of them at the same time btw, authoring a book takes 10 minutes where you can do nothing else except chat
