Dragonspine Castle

Description:
Dragonspine Castle (or short DSC) has served as the capital of the Horde of the Summoned on Elevation, the centre map on the Epic cluster. It has been assaulted by numberous raids, it has never been fallen and still stands today. It was originally founded by Atazoth and Ols. It's name comes from the mountain its situated on, shaped like a burried dragon with the same name: Dragonspine mountains.

Distinguising features:
DSC is rumoured to have 1400slope dirtwalls that have taken up over 1000k dirt to make. It has 2tile wide longhouses that have 5 stories on all sides. Its made like an aztec style city with different tiers, and the chain of deeds surrounding it make it hard to approach.

The Epic server has missions which make up a [[Scenarios|scenario]]. As scenario and mission go hand in hand, they are both explained here.

== Scenario and missions ==
They are the power struggles of the gods in which players can help. This is done by helping spirits (by doing missions) that can travel between Valrei the home of the gods and the game world were the players live. The gods are looking for "collectable tokens" and have a movement of 1 step for every 3 real life days. (With an exception if they are in a labyrinth.) Doing missions can speed this up.

The required number of missions in order to help your deity move is one per wild server and one per home server belonging to your kingdom template. Only missions completed on the Epic servers count – missions on Freedom servers are for fun only and don’t contribute.

[http://hom.creative-realms.net/valrei2/ Here is a map of the latest movement of the gods]

When a deity has "enough" collectables and returns to the starting point that god wins the power struggle, the scenario ends and the winner receives bonuses and/or may punish the others with some cataclysmic event (the amount of collectables needed seems to be unknown, so there's no way you can see their progress, as far as I know). The best way to describe it is a race, however, we have no way of knowing how far ahead or behind our deity is.

There are also "source tokens" and "immortals". Source tokens are not collectibles but items (for example the golden feathers) that give their carrier bonuses in fighting immortals. Immortals are the pawns on the map and are immortal for various reasons, they are not gods themselves but a kind of demi-god. Some Immortals are allies of the real gods. The collectible tokens and source tokens are the vases on the map.

== Completing missions ==

There are different missions and tasks. The more important the movement of a god seems to be, the more difficult the mission. (Not verified)

An example of a mission is for Mol-Rehan to feed a [[Young avatar of Magranon]] Buffalo cheeses. An another was for Jenn-Kellon to cut down trees.
So far the descriptions seem to be vague. For example: the restrictions of some missions like making a foundation pillar seem next to impossible. The cave has to have "enough" height, there are no means to measure a vertical tile edge. And the cave has to be flat, there are no border tiles, so you either have guess or keep mining till you happen to find a flat tile. (Its all doable, but only if you already know how to.) The pillar itself gains very little ql over time, even if you use high quality materials. And can both work or not work if it ends under 30QL, another restriction found in the blogs. This means if you finish a pillar, you can still fail the mission.

Foundation pillar may be sites for future missions. There may only be 1 person who knows where to find a certain pillar, if he or she made it solo.

== Mission reward ==
Anyone who works towards the completion of a mission gets 30mins of sleep bonus.
Your god moves faster giving them a greater chance to get tokens.

Your may be rewarded with demi-god status if you're deity has collected the cherry token from the gameboard. If this happens the player will become an ally of their deity and guard a random area on the gameboard like the existing Immortals.
If the demi-god survives long enough for their deity to win another scenario with the cherry token, there is the chance that they will be raised to full godhood, becoming a deity in their own right. If this happens, the player-god will have it's own religion enabled for other players to follow, complete with spells. The player-god can also move around the board in the same manner as the existing gods.

Current information suggests that as demi-god or god your account will become unplayable. The reward of becoming (demi-) god is a double edged sword as it might be the highest form of reward, u also lose your character. The god status was more favorable when there were plans to reset everyone. Now thats no longer the case.

When a deity has "enough" collectables and returns to the starting point, that god wins the powerstruggle and a scenario ends, the winner receives bonusses and may punish the others with some cataclysmic event. (The amount of collectables needed seems to be unknown, so theres no way u can see their progress, as far as i know.) So the powerstruggle seems very vague and uninspiring. The best way i think to describe it is a race, however we have no way in knowning our deity is far ahead or falling behind.

There are also "source tokens" and "immortals". Source tokens are not collectibles but items (for example the golden feathers) that give their carrier bonusses in fighting immortals.

== Mission reward ==
If u finish a mission u get 30mins of sleep bonus.
Your god moves faster and has more chance to get tokens.
U may get rewarded 1st demigod status and even god status. As demi-god your toon will probably become unplayable. As god its not playable.

Krinos: /* Skillgain tips */

[[CDB|Main]] / [[Skills]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

== Description ==
Archery is a skill which involves an [[:Category:Arrows|arrow]] and a [[:Category:Bows|bow]].

==== Characteristic gained ====
Body / [[Body Control]]

== Method ==
To shoot you need to equip a bow in your hands and activate it, and then right click on your target. Make sure the bow is strung.

If you have a target selected (player or animal, not [[archery target]]), you can also use the 'ranged' icon if you have the bow equipped.

The arrows shot first are the ones in your [[quiver]] on your body, next are the ones in your quiver in your inventory, and last are the ones in your inventory. If you have an empty quiver in your inventory, no arrows in your inventory or in other quivers in your inventory will be shot.

If a quiver is found in the inventory but it is empty, no arrow will be shot. This gives you good control over which arrows are shot. Arrows are fired in the following order: 1. War arrows, 2. Hunting arrows, 3. shafts.

*The best bows are made from [[willow]].
*Arrows made from [[cedar]] are easier to improve.
*Arrows made from [[maple]] take less damage.

*[[Quality]] of the [[bow string]] affects hit chance and the chance that it breaks.
*Quality of the arrow affects hit chance and the chance that it breaks.

*Archery has a lower hit chance during the night (from 21:00 to 06:00 wurm time).

*Wearing a [[shield]] can significantly increase the rate at which you block arrows.
*The effectiveness of arrows against [[animals]] has been disputed. It is of general consensus that it's more deadly in [[PvP]].
*Bows work best when fired at their best range. If you try to fire closer than their minimum range you will not shoot.
{| border="2" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="5" style="text-align:center;"
!Bow || Minimum Range || Best Range
|-
|[[Short Bow]]|| None || 5 Tiles
|-
|[[Bow]]|| 5 Tiles || 10 Tiles
|-
|[[Long Bow]]|| 10 tiles || 20 Tiles
|}

== Enchanting ==
In general anything that affects speed, accuracy or skill gain works on the bow only. Anything that affects damage works only on arrows.
* The following enchantments are known to work fully on bows : [[Blessings of the dark|Blessings of the Dark]], [[Bloodthirst]], [[Circle of Cunning]], and [[Nimbleness]].
* The following enchantments are known to work on arrows: [[demise_spells | Demise spells]], [[Flaming Aura]], [[Frostbrand]], [[Rotten Touch]], [[Venom]] and presumably [[Life transfer| Life Transfer]] and [[Mind stealer|Mind Stealer]].
* [[Wind of Ages]] is believed to only work when practicing on an [[archery target]].

== Skill based options ==
At various points in your bow skill progression you get the following special shooting options:
:* When you have 30 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Shoot Quickly''' option. 
:* When you have 35 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Torso''' option. 
:* When you have 40 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at right arm''' and '''Aim at left arm''' options. 
:* When you have 50 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Head''' option. 
:* When you have 60 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Face''' option. 
:* When you have 70 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Legs''' option. 

== Skillgain tips ==
* You may gain up to 30 skill in a bow type by practicing on an [[archery target]]. The main archery skill is also limited to 40 while practicing on an archery target. When 40 main skill is hit, you will no longer be able to gain any skill from archery targets. It is possible to to gain 30 skill in one bow type, then begin a new bow type until your main skill reaches 40.
* [[Although they give less skill than real arrows, it is best to use arrow shafts when practicing in this way as they are far easier to make and won't damage the target too much.]] Arrows that arent broken can be picked up at the archery target.
* Firing on the target from outside your bow's optimal range will increase the difficulty, and thus increase your skillgain at higher skill levels.
* Practicing at night will similarly increase the difficultly, so if you find the skillgain slowing you may want to practice when it's dark instead.
* Beyond 40 skill the only way to gain further is by using archery on animals or in player vs. player combat.

== [[:Category:Bows|Bows]] ==
*[[Long bow]]
*[[Bow]]
*[[Short bow]]
''Note: When a bow is unstrung, even if it has not been used and was strung minutes ago, the bowstring will be worse than before strung. Avoid unstringing and re-stringing if you can.''

== [[:Category:Arrows|Arrows]] ==
*[[Hunting arrow]]
*[[War arrow]]
*[[Arrow shaft]]
''Note: You can use [[arrow shafts]] as normal arrows, but they have poor accuracy and damage, and will gain you less skill. They are however much easier to replace when broken. ''
