Wading Procedures | A L C R Y S T

Winter has frosted Alcryst like the cold blush of a corpse, hardening every surface with frigid ice searing through the depths of its heart. The plants are lethargic and slow, the sky is desaturated and dull, and the wind is a violent gale ripping apart flesh and soil alike.

Wading Procedures

For the chance of true victory, there must be the risk of danger; wading into the scalding embrace of Heliorne's lava can yield either. Some will emerge with flesh melted into their bones, others will surface encased in armor from the gods themselves.

Horseshoes and tamed horse armor can be obtained through the Forge.

[PTab=Rules]

You must read the Forge rules before proceeding.
The highest defense value you have the potential of receiving is decided by the current amount of spirits in your account. Your current spirits must match the price of the equivalent tiered pickaxe multiplied by 2 in the Galleria. Therefore, in order to have the potential of mining value 12, you must have at least 950 x 2 = 1,900 spirits. If you successfully mine the value, you will then pay the equivalent amount in spirits before you receive the armor.
You have the potential to roll anything from 1 to the highest value you qualify for at that time. If your spirits qualify you for defense value 9, that means you may receive nothing or a defense value 1-9.
Heliorne's system only grants you the raw defense value itself. You design the appearance of the armor however you prefer. If you sell unwanted armor, you sell only the bare value and its appearance will be fashioned by the next owner unless otherwise desired.
To attempt earning armor, create a thread here with the label "Wading" containing a 200-400 word IC post describing your character's entrance to the magma, then post in Invocation to alert staff.

Staff will post to roll the 1st dice with the number of its faces equivalent to your highest potential value. For example, if your spirits and stats allow a maximum of defense value 7, then the dice would have 7 faces. The resulting number will determine the exact value your character may receive if the following rolls are successful.
Next, staff post a 2nd dice roll to determine if your character will actually receive this rolled value or if they will receive nothing. The higher the potential value, the lower your chance of success. Dice face 1 always means you successfully receive the potential value and all other faces mean you will receive nothing. The number of faces is equivalent to the "restock dice" amount listed for the equivalent tier pickaxe in the Galleria.
If you are successful, then a final 3rd dice roll determines if the defense value will be for physical armor material, face 1, or magical armor material, face 2. The defense value is then added to the character's inventory.

It is not mandatory to accept any defense value, regardless of success. For example, if you earn a defense value 2 and do not wish to pay for it, then you may decline the result and your attempt will proceed as an unsuccessful attempt would.
If you are successful, you must wait 7 days to wade again. If you are unsuccessful, you will receive "Heliorne Burn" in your mini-profile's ailment field and must fully heal in the Torrid Cauldron before trying again. Your injury will require 1 treatment post to heal. Once healed, you may wade again after 24 hours.
If you successfully receive any defense value, you may choose which part of armor it will become of the 4 options for equines. You might desire to create a piece you do not yet have or to replace an existing one if your new value is higher. Any replaced or otherwise unwanted pieces are removed from your applied items and returned to your inventory.
To actually equip armor, you must first supply art of the piece following the same requirements given in the Forge. If you wish to hire an artist, feel free to utilize our Entreaties board or browse our Galleries. When ready, post in Invocation with the image and request staff to activate your armor; they will add the defense value to your applied items list.
Horses may acquire enchantments as described in the Forge.
