Creations FAQ

in: Magical Item Crafting, Projects & Crafts

## Welcome to the Creations FAQ

While **most** class abilities are integrated into Roleplay Redux, anything and everything beyond this is accomplished with a combination of documented Roleplay, gathered ingredients and creativity.

Gathered here are some common questions about these processes.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are Rituals (and Curses)?

Rituals and Curses are a collection of higher tier spells that require a little more effort to bring about than a wave of your hand and a few magic words. Most require Magical Ingredients & Reagents to complete. They include spells that can regrow limbs! Turn your enemy into a frog! Or turn the tide of battle during a Raid. They are unique to individual Magic Spheres and may **not** be used by mundane Professions. If your character has chosen a magically-inclined class, you may find information about available Rituals towards the bottom of their particular page.

### What are Projects and Crafts?

Projects and Crafts are a category of mundane creations that make everyday life just a little bit more fun. Many make use of items from Magical Ingredients & Reagents - among other base materials. Creations such as Alchemical Potions, Lockpicks, Cannons, and infrastructure Projects such as Outposts and Sites of Worship. Any character from a Professions class may create from this list, while such things are beneath the notice of those wielding Magic Spheres.

### What about Magical Items?

Some magic persists longer than others, or is imbued into objects. Magical Item Crafting covers creations such as Magic Sigils, Enchanted Instruments and Flying Carpets! Magical Ingredients & Reagents often form part of the requirements. Certain items may only be made by users of particular Magic Spheres; but **unless otherwise noted**, any magic user may create Magical Items.

### What are Demon Pacts and Soul Brands?

Demons have their own set of abilities, often centered around Soul Stealing. More information - and inspiration - can be found under Orders, Cults & Groups. (Demons are a whitelisted race on Ashborn Legacy. Applications are made via #open-a-ticket.)

### What is the Ritual Training Quest?

Characters wishing to undertake Rituals must first learn how! Seek information among the NPC's of Hub locations - This quest line will test your knowledge about the process and what is required. **Completion of this quest is a requirement for Ritual approval.**

### How do these things fit into Roleplay?

Perhaps your Character has come across a problem and has been researching a potential remedy. Perhaps they have encountered a Master Craftsman, and fancy themselves a pair of shiny new lockpicks. Perhaps inspiration simply.. hits (it happens).. and they have an overwhelming urge to smite their enemies with the concentrated power of the sun. Whatever the situation - Gather your party and venture forth! Collect and gather the proper Components, and figure out how to use them in your story.

### Tips for conducting a Ritual or Craft Project

* **Be aware of your skillset.** Only Mundane Professions may create Projects & Crafts; Only Magical Spheres may create Magical Items & attempt Rituals.
* **Read the instructions carefully.** Some are very specific about the ways certain components must be used, while others are far more flexible; but all required components ought to be present in supporting roleplay.
* **Open Tickets for approval sooner rather than later.** Timely processing depends on Admin availability and progress may be held up as a result.
* **Do not decay your Components** until instructed to do so by the overseeing Admin.
* **Consider modifiers that may reduce your material costs**, such as making use of a Place of Power, certain Class Abilities or Magical Sigils
* **Document the narrative as your characters proceed**. Screenshots will be required during the approval process!

### What is the approval process?

Navigate to the #open-a-ticket channel in Ashborn Legacy Discord and choose the General ticket button. In your Ticket; provide screenshot evidence of relevant Roleplay, Components in your possession and any **OOC consents** that may be required.

### What kinds of Components do I need?

#### Gathering Components

Many Rituals and Creations require the blood of a particular Magic Sphere user. Unless stated otherwise.. Any amount of Blood, Hair, Bones or Body Parts collected from the appropriate source **may** be viable as a Ritual Component. Evidence of roleplay collection/acquisition must be provided in screenshot form. Style points may be awarded for thematic choices and creativity.

#### Preserving Components

Ritual Components collected in this fashion have a shelf life of 3 IRL Days.

#### Crafted Components

Alchemical components are created within the Roleplay Redux Menu (Shift + R). Certain classes (Particularly the Alchemist Profession) are suited to this task, but anyone may attempt Alchemy within range of public Alchemy Benches found in Hub Crafting Areas. Further information about these can be found on the Magical Ingredients & Reagents page.

#### Purchased Components

Magical Scrolls form the base of many Rituals. These can be purchased from scholarly merchants, usually found in Hub locations.

#### Misc Components

If a Component is mechanically present in Conan Exiles, gather it that way. Certain Creations may ask for thematic oddments that are *not* present in the game as part of the process (eg: The skin of an animal, a piece of mundane jewellery.). By and large these items are treated as theatre of the mind, and require only screenshot evidence of roleplay collection/acquisition to support their existence.

### How often can I *do the Thing™*?

Creations - Magic Items, Rituals, Curses; Demonic Pacts & Brands, Projects & Crafts are mentally and physically taxing. All are subjected to a 24 hour cooldown unless otherwise specified.

### How many *Things™* can I own?

In general, Characters can only own or make use of a single Magical Item at any one time. These items include:

* Ring of Minor Illusion
* Ring of Water breathing (Ring of Nenya)
* Iron Gut Necklace
* Sphere Warding Necklace
* Mesmerizing Talisman
* Belt of Giants
* Collar of Binding
* Collar of Nullification
* Pipe of Smoke Illusion
* Ring of Magical Focus
* Instrument of Enchanting Melodies
* Charlatan’s Gloves
* Diadem of Clarity
* Mantle of the Beast
* Lunar Chalice

The following items do not count against item limits and may be used concurrently with others. The effects of Potions, Sigils, and Consumables **do not** stack, and Characters only receive the benefits of the last Potion/Consumable used:

* Potion of Stolen Image
* Potion of Stalled Death
* Potion of Curse Removal
* Potion of Negation
* All Sigils
* Magic Broom
* Magic Carpet
* Cloak of Flying
* Ring of Dawn
* Ring of Moonlight

### Can I give, sell or steal an *Thing™*?

The creation and **possession** of Magic Items and Professions Crafts are logged by the Admin team. When Items change hands, please #open-a-ticket in Ashborn Legacy Discord to update those records. In the event that your Character is Shelfed, the item may be preserved with them!

**If our records do not confirm that you own a particular item, it will not be replaced in the event of Wipe, accidental loss, or catastrophic failure.**

### Can I keep my *Things™*, if there is a Server Wipe?

If a) the people/clan who owned them continue to play the same concepts and b) possession of the item can be confirmed in our records -

The following things carry over in a STANDARD wipe:

* Clan Building Extensions
* Character Telescope
* Character Cannon and Shot
* Clan Outposts
* Character Sigils
* Character Magic Items
* Character Professional Items

The following things **DO NOT** carry over any wipe
