**Manual Pavilion** is a Building that is used to transcribe Manuals for Xiandao cultivators. All Cultivators may transcribe Manuals, however only Xiandao cultivators can learn from the Manual Pavilion or obtain bonus Inspiration from transcription. Having Manuals transcribed reduces the Inspiration cost of everything, not just when learning Manuals from it.

Building more Manual Pavilions will increase the Player Sect's total Manual transcription capacity.

As the description suggests, each Pavilion can store 100 total Attainment worth of Manuals. Each Law transcribed takes up space equal to the sum of Attainment values of all Manuals in that Law. If some Manuals within the Law are already transcribed, their Attainment is not counted.

## Transcription

Manuals can be transcribed into the Manual Pavilion by selecting a Manual Pavilion and clicking on the Transcribe button. There are three methods of transcriptions:

* Transcribe Law
* Transcribe Manual
* Transcribe Knowledge

Transcribe Law allows to transcribe one of the obtained Xiandao Laws, both Supreme and Unorthodox. As a result, all non-advanced (Help terminology) Manuals are added to the global Manual Pavilion Pool. Any Law Exclusive Manuals are not included. Any Xiandao can transcribe an obtained Law, having an Inner Disciple of the Law being transcribed is unnecessary. Inspiration Tree related aspects are not included (like prerequisite Manuals), but Manual related aspects (like Mutual Exclusiveness and requirements) are.

Transcribe Manual allows to transcribe a single Manual Item with a Manual attached to it, adding the Manual to the global Manual Pavilion Pool. The Item is not used up, and can still be used by an Inner Disciple to study the Manual directly. 0-Attainment Manuals can't be Transcribed, like the Location Manuals.

Transcribe Knowledge allows to transcribe all learned Manuals of the selected Inner Disciple, aside from the 0-Attainment Manuals, Law Exclusive Manuals, and any other Hidden Manuals (like Natural/Divergent Laws). The resulting list of Manuals is added to the global Manual Pavilion Pool.

When Transcribing Manuals, the rate at which Transcription occurs depends on the following:

* Intelligence
* Cultivation Level of the Cultivator
* Total Attainment of the Manuals being transcribed

The time for Transcription in seconds is determined by:

* (100 \* Total Attainment Transcribed)/(Intelligence \* Cultivation Level), with a maximum of 600 (1 day).

Cultivators do not regenerate Energy when transcribing, so eating an Amber Fruit is recommended for early game transcribing with cultivators of low Intelligence, as Transcription will fail if their Needs fall too low.

Upon successful transcription of a Manual or Law, a Xiandao Cultivator will gain bonus base Inspiration based on the total Attainment being transcribed (which is then further multiplied by bonuses):

* 10 \* Total Attainment Transcribed \* Intelligence \* Cultivation Level

## Inspiration Reduction

### Global Buff

A reduction to **all** activities costing Inspiration, including improving Xiandao Skill Levels is applied depending on the total Attainment of all Manuals transcribed in the Manual Pavilion:

* Up to 20,000 transcribed Attainment, the reduction is

%.
* At 20,000 or higher Attainment, the reduction caps at 20%.

This reduction is multiplicative with others, if any.

### Studying

Studying from the Manual Pavilion applied an additional 25% reduction to Inspiration cost, for a maximum reduction of 40%. Studying always takes 20 seconds regardless of Attainment.

## Destruction

Destroying the pavilions does not destroy any Manuals already transcribed, however no new Manuals can be transcribed until new Pavilions are rebuilt.

## Using the Manual Pavilion

Examining the Manual Pavilion will open the same interface when choosing to Study from the Manual Pavilion. Within the interface, the list of Manuals can be filtered by multiple categories. Multiple categorizations can be applied at once.

When Studying Manuals with a Disciple, another form of filtering is possible, only showing manuals that can be learned. When using that filter, anything greyed out (either already learned, or not fulfilling the requirements) are filtered out.

### Filtering by Source

With the tab on the left, Manuals can be filtered from their source. The following categories are used:

* All Manuals - Lists all Manuals Transcribed within the Manual Pavilion pool.
* Only Existing Copies - Lists all Manuals that came from either a single Manual Item, or from the Cultivators own Knowledge. Soul Inquiry, Formation Manuals, Talisman/Alchemy Recipes as examples of this category.
* Supreme Law (shown when a Supreme Law has been transcribed) - Lists all the Manuals of Supreme Laws. It's possible to fine tune it to a single Supreme Law.
* Ascension/Primordial Spirit/Golden Core/Worldly Law (shown when an Unorthodox Law from that category has been transcribed) - Lists all the Manuals of an Unorthodox Law within the category. Fine tuning is possible.

### Filtering by Manual Type Category

At the top of the Manual Pavilion Interface, Manuals can be filtered by their Types. When selecting more than one category, Manuals from all selected categories will be shown. The following categories are used:

* Artifact Mastery
* Spell
* Protection
* Alchemy
* Artifact Crafting
* Practice
* Misc
* Battle Spells - A subset of the Spell category, containing Unorthodox Spells.
* Favorites - Not strictly a Manual Type value, but rather a special category, displaying any Manuals that have been set as a favorite.

### Filtering by Element

Under the Manual Types, Manuals can be filtered based in their Element value.

* When no filters are applied, all Elements are shown.
* When a single Element is chosen, only Manuals with that Element value are shown.
* When two or more Elements are chosen, only Manuals with those selected Elements are shown. (ie selecting Nothing and Metal will display None Element Manuals as well as Metal Element Manuals)
* When all six Elements are chosen, Manuals from all six Elements are shown.
