Discussion kickoff

Now that there are multiple of us actively trying to discover stuff in this guild I think this page can be fruitful for us to coordinate on some stuff. My first order of business is that I want to formally establish "what skills matter", and also establish a standard means for us to benchmark those skills for easier comparison.

I suspect the existence of some guild unlocks that require skill specs obtained either from bonds themselves, or from additional affils/autodidaction, but for the time being I'd like to put forward the following hypothesis: Max spec access granted by the guild is a meaningful indicator of it's importance for learning new morphologies. That in mind, my zetesai is an exomak wandslinger chaosborn so my transposition may be slightly inaccurate (some help here would be appreciated).

I've taken the liberty of splitting these up into some rough categories that I think may be relevant.

Zet skills organized by max spec access and category

Scholarly skill access:

  • 20 Animal Lore, Biology, Cosmology
  • 10 Insect Lore
  • 8 Poison Lore, Gem Lore, Philosophy
  • 2 Arcane Lore, Plant Lore, Elder Lore, Legend Lore, Astrology, Metaphysics, Metapsychology, Pataphysics, Physics, Psychology

Generic nerd skill access:

  • 10 Scholarship, Critical Thinking, Literacy, Drawing, Memory

Bond growth skill access:

  • 15 Empathy, Enchantment
  • 10 Introspection
  • 2 Mathematics

Medical and fieldcraft, and general adventuring skill access:

  • 10 Anatomy, Chirurgery, First Aid, Diagnosis, Cartography, Steadiness, Exoma Fieldcraft, Space Fieldcraft, Umbral Fieldcraft
  • 8 Orienteering, Foraging Navigation
  • 5 Somatesthesia

Other skills:

We've been told explicitly that these skills impact valence, but not by how much. In the case of animaphrasty, we've also been told that it does NOT impact anything else.

  • 5 Eudaimonia
  • 13 Animaphrasty
  • 2 Centering, Equilibrium

Conjuration minimum spec removed (as of 28/01/2022).

  • 4 Conjuration

relevant quote, don't go nuts on this one

[2022 Jan 28 21:02] ( Zetesai Channel Crasher Marcosy ) at present theriophrasty is not used by anything in the guild, period
[2022 Jan 28 21:02] ( Zetesai Channel Crasher Marcosy ) that might change in the future but i doubt it
[2022 Jan 28 21:02] ( Zetesai Channel Crasher Marcosy ) but logically it is a thing your character would need in order to create bonds with animals
  • 13 Theriophrasty

Data Standardization Proposal

None of us have seen then yet, but we've been told that there is a specific chrondiptera morphology unlocked at 250 insect lore, which is a pretty huge hint both about the nature of the unlocks, and how to reach them.

We can theorize that a polypid morphology exists at some amount of gem lore, a giftrager morphology at some amount of poison lore, and almost certainly some more general ones with sufficient levels of combined animal lore/biology/cosmology with other skills no doubt contributing in part or in entirety to other specific morphologies.

Since these formulas are not visible to us and it will require a lot of roughly analogous data points to refine them I propose that we set a standard format for data that we immediately post whenever we reach an unlock breakpoint.

set alias zetlore to show skill animal lore, skill biology, skill cosmology, skill insect lore, skill poison lore, skill gem lore, skill philosophy, skill plant lore, skill elder lore, skill legend lore
set alias zetvalence to show skill eudaimonia, skill animaphrasty, skill centering, skill equilibrium 

We should work together to have these aliases include every data point we know to be relevant as well as every data point we think might be relevant. Since the only way we can learn anything concrete is to reach a new unlock threshold as the direct result of a known event it is absolutely critical that we pay attention to what's going on and pool our data.

Frustratingly, skills aren't the only relevant factor, so any data we collect will be subject to huge swings based on each of our individual progress with forming and mastering different bond and familiar types. These should also be included in our data postings. So here's my first draft for a standard data point, points we collect should be copy-pasted and added to the end of this document.

"set alias zetdata to help autometotic animaphresis;show level, quest points, exploration points;zetlore;zetvalence"
or
set alias zetdata to show level, quest points, exploration points, skill animal lore, skill biology, skill cosmology, skill insect lore, skill poison lore, skill gem lore, skill philosophy, skill plant lore, skill elder lore, skill legend lore, skill eudaimonia, skill animaphrasty, skill centering, skill equilibrium
Unlock: The thing that got unlocked
Unlock Event: The thing I was doing that I believe caused this unlock (skill train, bond growth, exploration, attribute development? death? arbitrage? whatever I don't know)
Current Bonds: Familiar_type via Bond_Type at xx%, 
Previous Bond Experience: Pyx via Telo-Exogenic Archsymbiosis to 100%, Jing Shen via Telo-Exogenic Archsymbiosis to 109%
Known Morphologies: Telo-Exogenic Archsymbiosis, Temno-Exogenic Archsymbiosis, and Poly-Exogenic Archsymbiosis
Multivalence: one
You are level sixty-five.
   You have one hundred eighty-one quest points, 35.8% of the total possible.
   You have achieved twenty-three thousand nine hundred fifty-six exploration points, 78.8% of the total possible.
   You are an amazing ninth-degree scholar of animal lore (241).
   You are a fairly adept third-degree biologist (90).
   You are an adept second-degree cosmologist (97).
   You are a competent scholar of insect lore (38).
   You are an inept scholar of poison lore (17).
   You are a competent scholar of gem lore (39).
   You are a competent philosopher (39).
   You are a competent scholar of plant lore (38).
   You are a competent scholar of elder lore (39).
   You are a competent scholar of legend lore (40).
   You are a fairly competent eudaimoniast (35).
   You are a prodigious third-degree animaphrast (150).
   You are a masterful second-degree practitioner of centering (119), though you appear to be effectively functioning at an incredible level (199).
   You are a masterful second-degree practitioner of equilibrium (120), though you appear to be effectively functioning at an incredible level (200).

If anyone has any ideas for relevant fields that should be added, or think any should be removed then lets have the discussion on this page/the guild channel. I think it's important that we all agree on a standard for easier comparison. Maybe I'll make a project or excel sheet for parsing it in the future but we should start collecting data right away. For my part I intend to make a habit of doing a data point at the start and end of each play session to track progress, each time I see a new unlock I'll point my most recent data point, and one immediately following the unlock. --Stride 15:11, 28 January 2022 (EST)

Agun has generously volunteered to do some data analysis work for us over here. So if you'd like to instead use the alias on the following sheet, open up a page there. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Qe2vRHisYbNLgnVN3ugyzSEpr_yxyhjB1NKxPaxG4G0/edit#gid=0
