A box find

[zhelas]

One of my friends brought this to me... he found it in one of his boxes.

>tap book
You tap a blackened leather-bound book stamped with a golden ankh on the cover, which is in your left hand.

>look book
It takes you a moment to focus on the leather-bound book.
There are 6 spells inscribed on the leather-bound book.

>read book
It takes you a moment to focus on the leather-bound book.
On the leather-bound book you see
(116) Locate Person
(130) Spirit Guide
(213) Minor Sanctuary
(225) Transference
(305) Preservation
(308) Well of Life

>app book
You ask the pawnbroker to appraise a blackened leather-bound book stamped with a golden ankh on the cover.
The pawnbroker turns the book over in his hands a few times.
Kilron grits his teeth and says, "Sorry Zhelas, that's worth at least 51263 silvers, but I'll offer you 35,000 silver for it."
[To accept the offered price, attempt to sell it within the next 30 seconds.]

That is awesome. Infusable?

The only rune that could even touch 225 is dikar'fyn.


dikar'fyn: this rune is not yet available to players, but is slated to be able to unlock one spell 25th level or lower for 25 potential charges

That is from the official website. It isn't totally accurate. There were a handful of one charge only dikar'fyn runestones ever released. I have one so does V, Allereli and a few others. Unfortunately, even with 202 arcane symbols we cannot learn the rune as of yet.

My friend wants to hold onto the book for now and wait and see what the GMs say about this. I posted this on the officials as well. https://www.play.net/forums/messages.asp?forum=102&category=18&topic=3&message=3702

Neat box found, Z, and yeah they need to get their ass in gear and release Dikar'fyn.

I will see if I can get a read out from an odeir'cos and post the results when I do.

It likely is overcharged as it is a true boxfind. It wouldn't affect unlocking, but would still be nice all the same. Truthfully, the value seemed a bit low for the level of spells that were on the damned thing. You may be better off waiting for a recharging merchant to pop up.

The book was found in Platinum:


Found that same book in Plat, it's a nice one, and the < 20th level spells are infusible by a sorcerer. Only comment I have is that 308 is not all that useful, without 318 being in there as well.

Other than that, it's a really neat find.

-Taakhooshi, and Me

I agree if 318 was in the list, it would really have made this a gem.

Yeah, that was me. The book is a neat find, I just don't understand the point of 308 being on there. Kind of worthless. And yeah, all the spells are infusible; if you had one of the higher level runes, I'm sure that 225 would also be infusible, but there are definitely none in Plat, that I know of.

Also, when I infused it, all the spells were at 'very many charges remaining'; couldn't add any more. That includes 225 and 130, they were also at 'very many'. But the < 20 level spells on can be recharged via ag runes, if infused.

318 is a closely guarded spell thanks to a certain GM, even by auction quality standards. It never fails to bring a smile to my face whenever one of those old prayerbooks gets converted to a fully infusable 318 scroll.

s>wave my rune at my book
You wave your runestone at a blackened leather-bound book stamped with a golden ankh on the cover.
As the runestone passes over the scroll, you sense:
(116) Locate Person with very many charges remaining.
(130) Spirit Guide with a number of charges remaining.
(213) Minor Sanctuary with very many charges remaining.
(225) Transference with a number of charges remaining.
(305) Preservation with very many charges remaining.
(308) Well of Life with very many charges remaining.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

For folks who are not familiar with scroll infusion:
one charge 1 charge
a couple charges 2 charges
a few charges 3-5 charges
a number of charges 6-10 charges
many charges 11-19 charges
very many charges 20 charges or more
