Project Aeda's Veil

From LSWiki

Hello, there.

This is an ongoing project started by Nero and Xathanon (by primary incarnos) to find the last two hidden benisons for Aedarene. To... lift the veil of Aeda's secrets, so to speak.

Universal Notes:

We know there are three secret benisons at the moment. Here's what confirmed information we have that's relevant to both of them:

1) all of them are based on Intelligence skills.

2) There is one that can be unlocked at tier 3 (hierophant) and one that can only be unlocked at tier 4 (elder) and a new one that we don't know the rank of.

3) We will refer to the tier 3 benison as 'the little one' and the tier 4 benison as 'the big one', and the new one as the Other One.

4) either the Little One or the Big One was formed by a complaint of "X skill needs a benison to go with it" - we do not know which one.

5) Neither the big one nor the little one requires Bellerophrasty or Mortuary.

 [OOC Marcosy] one of them totally does use mortuary and theology though

Big One Notes

Here's the confirmed information on the big one:

1) It requires 195 skill in two int skills that are not normally used by Aedarene very much.

2) Both of these skills are taught by Sophratius.

3) It also requires a smattering of other skills that may require additional access from associations.

4) It requires a decent amount of Enchantment - not 195, so probably 145

5) Requires Philosophy to be at a high level

6) Metaphysics is also "kinda important" - Marcosy

 [OOC Marcosy] well i mean you need to think laterally about something 
 people would flip out about
 [OOC Marcosy] if character X could do Y for you in addition to being able 
 to blow shit up good
 [OOC Marcosy] like something you normally need to rely on an NPC for 
 that's a titanic pain in the ass

 [OOC Marcosy] it does include the word 'balance' in its name

 [OOC Marcosy] yes, just skills
 [OOC Marcosy] they are not, however, skills an Aedarene has access to by default
 [OOC Xathanon] are they willpower?
 [OOC Xathanon] I have a theory
 [OOC Marcosy] some of them
 [OOC Marcosy] nope, wait, i lied
 [OOC Marcosy] all of them are willpower
 [OOC Xathanon] beyond the int for metaphysics and philosophy and the ego for enchantment
 [OOC Xathanon] I have a theory and I hate it
 [OOC Xathanon] because testing it is...
 [OOC Xathanon] agony
 [OOC Marcosy] i'll listen to your theory, but won't confirm it
 [OOC Xathanon] I think the benison is basically "Blue: the benison"
 [OOC Xathanon] and potentially
 [OOC Xathanon] it may require eideturgy and chaoturgy
 [OOC Marcosy] *or
 [OOC Xathanon] wil skills that aedarene don't have access to
 [OOC Xathanon] or?
 [OOC Xathanon] huh
 [OOC Xathanon] and then there's going to be a 5th skill because you said it was 5 skills
 [OOC Marcosy] it's 3 skills plus any combination of 2 others
 [OOC Xathanon] a long time ago
 [OOC Xathanon] oh...
 [OOC Marcosy] depending on which path you want to acquire
 [OOC Xathanon] it will also require kalaturgy or cacoturgy
 [OOC Marcosy] it should be exceedingly trivial to figure out
 [OOC Xathanon] so Guardas really is close
 [OOC Vazbol] everyone prepare for blue to have the ability
 [OOC Xathanon] but cacoturgy and kalaturgy...
 [OOC Marcosy] if one were to try to master all 4 paths it would require maxing the 3 skills you know about plus an additional 8
 [OOC Marcosy] well, not maxing, but satisfying the requirements for
 [OOC Xathanon] how high do these skills need to be?
 [OOC Marcosy] they use the same numerical math as all other benison unlocks
 [OOC Marcosy] aka 35/75/145/195
 [OOC Marcosy] which one requires what is up to you
 [OOC Marcosy] i can tell you right now none of the above are 35
 [OOC Xathanon] yeah, haha
 [OOC Marcosy] but they're not that weird
 [OOC Marcosy] you can absolutely get them without lux
 [OOC Marcosy] but it is hard
 [OOC Xathanon] ...
 [OOC Xathanon] the turgy and the affinity
 [OOC Marcosy] like you may have to join a different guild to intro things
 [OOC Xathanon] that's only logical
 [OOC Xathanon] but how do you get eideturgy access?
 [OOC Marcosy] some affils grant it
 [OOC Marcosy] also it's called lexiturgy now
 [OOC Xathanon] ...do you have to be an aedarene inducted!?

Epona Bond?

Mention of this in OOC.

Does not overlap with any of the above benisons - confirmed by Marco.
