Draconis: /* Primary Ruleset */

== Primary Ruleset ==

* UO:R era with the development priority being that it feels fully era accurate, but expanded to include many custom QoL improvements, dungeons, creatures, events, quests, minigames, collectables, and tamables.
* 225 stat cap (up to 250 with champ scrolls), 700 skill cap (up to 720 with champ scrolls).
* Individual stats cap at 125 each: allowing for example 90 Str 125 Dex 10 Int
* Classic faction system, guard zones, stealing mechanics (LoS of NPCs), and notoriety rules.
* Maximum of four accounts per IP

== Misc FAQ ==
* Recalling is allowed in all dungeons of '''Britannia'''.
* There is no recall within the realm of Diablo and similar locations.
* Stat gain does not benefit from see-saw method, and skill gain does not benefit from 8 by 8 method. But you can access powerhour by typing [powerhour in game for additional skill gain chance.
* Each short-term count requires 8 hours of gameplay to decay. You can check this in-game prior to ress with 'I must consider my sins'.
* There is no insta-hit on re-equip of a weapon (AKA T2A wep swap that popularized Tank Mage play).
* Wands exist and are useful in a chase scenario, but have a short recharge timer.
* Explosion potions do not heat seek (You must time throwing it)
* There are fire beetles, cu sidhe, hiryu, and Greater Dragons as tamables. They have been minorly adjusted from their AOS variants to be a healthy balance within UOR.
* The strongest PvM pets often require power scrolls to control and take all 5 control slots
* There are special wood types such as Bloodwood, Frostwood, etc.
* There are OSI world rares and some staff added custom ones hidden throughout the world.
* Most hued clothing and rare cloth colors come from special events, rare drops, BoDs, and in the Achievement Store.
* Winning weekly events, being online for a special hand out day, referring friends, or participating in server events all have unique or rare rewards associated with them. (e.g. Staff sometimes design a unique clothing piece tied to a challenge like the Chess Grandmaster jester tunic, only obtainable by defeating Draconis in chess).
* Players begin with 20 taming slots, with quests available to expand the cap.

Animal Taming

2025-12-28T03:37:59Z

Draconis: /* Summary Table */

== Skill & Stat Reduction After Taming ==

When a creature is tamed for the very first time, it does **not** retain its full wild strength. This is intentional and helps balance powerful pets.

=== General Rule ===
* Newly tamed creatures lose a portion of their original skills.
* The amount lost depends on **how the creature was tamed** and **what type of creature it is**.
* These reductions only occur on the **first tame**.

---

=== Standard Taming ===
* Most creatures retain **90% of their original skill potential**
* This means their skills train up to **90% of what they had in the wild**

---

=== Paralyzed During Taming ===
* If the creature was **paralyzed while being tamed**, it retains slightly less
* Skills are reduced to **86% of their original values**

---

=== Greater Dragons & Ice Dragons ===
These creatures receive special handling due to their extreme power.

* All skills are reduced to **72% of their original values**
* Skills may only train up to **90%** of their original maximum
* **Magery** is reduced even further:
** Magery skill starts at **90%**
** Magery can only ever train to **90%** of its original cap

---

=== Stat Loss ===
Some creatures suffer additional **stat loss** after being tamed.

* If a creature has post-tame stat loss:
** Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence are reduced to **75%** of their original values

---

=== Summary Table ===

{| class="wikitable"

|}
‎ 
{| class="wikitable"
! Creature Type !! Stat Retained
|-
| Creatures with stat loss || 80%
|}

---

=== Why This Exists ===
These reductions ensure:
* Powerful pets remain valuable but balanced
* Skill training remains meaningful after taming
* Wild creatures are stronger than their tamed counterparts

Codex

2025-12-27T05:01:22Z

Draconis: /* Earning Codex XP */

= The Codex System Guide =

The '''Codex''' is a character-bound progression item that earns XP from PvM,
unlocks tiers across multiple playstyle categories, and allows you to spend
Codex Points to activate powerful perks.

__TOC__

== What is a Codex? ==
A Codex is a special, '''newbied''' item named ''a magical codex''.
It is designed as a long-term PvM progression system that rewards you for
playing normally while letting you specialize your character.

Key concepts:
* '''XP''' is earned from creature kills.
* '''Tiers''' unlock as your Codex XP increases.
* '''Codex Points''' are awarded when you reach new tiers.
* Points are spent to unlock '''tiers''' and '''perks''' in different categories.

== Binding (Ownership) ==
Your Codex becomes permanently bound to you the first time you use it.

* Double-clicking the Codex for the first time binds it to your character.
* Once bound, it cannot be used by anyone else.

== Where the Codex must be ==
To function properly, the Codex must be in the '''base of your backpack'''.

* It must NOT be equipped.
* It must NOT be inside another bag or container.

If your active Codex is moved out of your backpack, it will stop functioning.

== Activation and Attunement ==
The Codex must be activated and attuned before it works.

* Single-click the Codex and use the '''context menu''' to set it '''Active'''.
* Once activated, it must '''attune for 10 minutes'''.
* While attuning, the Codex will display a countdown.
* When complete, the Codex status becomes '''Active'''.

Important rules:
* Only '''one Codex''' can be active at a time.
* Activating a new Codex will deactivate any other active Codex in your pack.

== PvP & Attunement Rules ==
The Codex is PvM-focused.

* You cannot start attunement while PvP-flagged.
* If you engage in PvP while your Codex is active, attunement is lost.
* Lost attunement requires another 10-minute attune to reactivate perks and XP gain.

== Earning Codex XP ==
Codex XP is earned by actively playing the game.
XP comes from combat, gathering professions, and achievements.

=== Creature Kills (PvM) ===
Defeating creatures grants Codex XP.

XP is based on the creature’s maximum health:

XP = Creature Max Hits ÷ 10
Minimum XP per kill is always 1.

XP may be shared between eligible players if they:
* Have an Active, fully attuned Codex
* Have the Codex in the base of their backpack

Eligible players can include:
* The player who made the kill
* The owner of a controlled or summoned creature
* Nearby party members
* Players with looting rights

If multiple players qualify, XP is split evenly (minimum 1 XP each).

=== Harvesting Professions ===
Your Codex also gains XP from gathering activities.

Harvesting XP is awarded from:
* Mining
* Lumberjacking
* Fishing

XP is granted as you successfully harvest resources.
You must have an Active, fully attuned Codex in your backpack to receive XP.

=== Achievements ===
Completing achievements can also award Codex XP.

When an achievement grants XP:
* The XP is applied directly to your active Codex
* You must have the Codex active and attuned

=== XP Cap ===
Once Tier 5 is reached, the Codex no longer gains XP.

== Tiers and XP Requirements ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Tier !! Required Codex XP
|-
| Tier 1 || 20,000
|-
| Tier 2 || 35,000
|-
| Tier 3 || 50,000
|-
| Tier 4 || 65,000
|-
| Tier 5 || 85,000
|}

== Codex Points ==
* You earn '''1 Codex Point''' per tier reached.
* Maximum total Codex Points is '''5'''.
* Points may be spent or refunded through the Codex interface.

The Codex tracks:
* '''Total Points Earned'''
* '''Available (Unspent) Points'''

== Categories ==
Perks are organized into categories.
Each category has its own Tier 1–5 progression.

Current active categories:
* General
* Mage
* Warrior (Dexxer)
* Tamer
* Adventurer
* Crafter

== Spending Codex Points ==
Using Codex Points is a two-step process:

# Unlock a tier within a category
# Select a perk within that tier

Rules:
* Codex must be '''Active''' and fully attuned
* Codex must be in the '''base of your backpack'''
* You cannot unlock tiers beyond your Codex XP tier
* Some perks require minimum skill levels

== Resetting & Respeccing ==
You may undo choices at any time:

* Unselecting a tier refunds its point
* Unselecting a perk refunds its point
* A full reset option returns all spent points

All reset actions require the Codex to be active and attuned.

== Codex Messages ==
The Codex can display messages such as XP gains.
You may toggle these messages on or off.

= Camping & Outpost System Guide =

The Camping & Outpost System expands the traditional Camping skill into a 
world-impacting survival and utility feature. Skilled campers can establish 
temporary camps, upgrade campfires, and reactivate abandoned outposts 
scattered throughout the world, providing valuable services to themselves 
and other travelers. 
 
This system encourages exploration, cooperation, and strategic use of 
wilderness locations.

----

== Camper’s Maps ==

Camper’s Maps are special items used by experienced campers to record and 
revisit important wilderness locations. 
 
* Allows players to mark the location of campsites and outposts. 
* Marked locations can be returned to later. 
* Only usable at valid camp or outpost locations. 
* Requires Camping skill to mark locations. 

=== Requirements ===

* 50.0 Camping to mark an outpost or campsite. 
 
Camper’s Maps are personal navigation tools and do not create permanent 
runes or recall points. They are intended for wilderness travel and 
survival.

----

== Upgraded Campfires ==

At higher Camping skill levels, players may enhance their campfires beyond 
basic use.

=== Campfire Upgrade ===

* Requires 70.0 Camping. 
* The campfire may be upgraded after placement. 
* Grants a temporary stat bonus to all players who enter the campfire’s area of effect. 
* Bonus applies only while within range and fades after leaving the area. 
 
Upgraded campfires are ideal for group encounters, dungeon staging areas, 
or temporary rest points in hostile territory.

----

== Outposts ==

Outposts are predefined locations placed throughout the world by server 
administrators. These locations represent abandoned camps that can be 
temporarily reclaimed by skilled campers.

=== Abandoned State ===

* Outposts initially appear as extinguished fire pits. 
* They provide no benefits while abandoned. 
* Visible to all players as dormant wilderness structures. 

=== Establishing an Outpost ===

* Requires 50.0 Camping. 
* A player may light the fire pit to reactivate the outpost. 
* Upon activation, the outpost becomes usable by all passing players. 
* The activating camper gains permission to add utilities. 

----

== Outpost Utilities ==

Once an outpost is established, additional features may be added based on 
the camper’s skill level.

=== Mark Location ===

* Requires 50.0 Camping. 
* Allows the camper to mark the outpost location on their Camper’s Map. 
* Enables future return to the outpost location. 

=== Add Tent ===

* Requires 70.0 Camping. 
* Adds a tent structure to the outpost. 
* Allows players within range to safely log out. 
* Prevents logout penalties or unsafe wilderness logouts. 

=== Add Shrine ===

* Requires 90.0 Camping. 
* Adds a shrine with an ankh. 
* Allows players to resurrect at the outpost. 
* Resurrection is available to all players. 

=== Add Stash ===

* Requires 100.0 Camping. 
* Adds a stash chest. 
* Allows players to access their own bank storage remotely. 
* The chest does not store shared items and respects normal bank rules. 

----

== Outpost Duration & Decay ==

Outposts are temporary by design. 
 
* Each activated outpost lasts for 1 hour. 
* After the duration expires, the outpost reverts to its abandoned state. 
* All added utilities are removed upon decay. 
* Outposts also revert to abandoned state after a server restart or reset. 
 
This ensures that outposts remain dynamic, contested, and part of the 
living world rather than permanent structures.

----

== Design Intent ==

The Camping & Outpost System is designed to: 
 
* Reward high Camping skill investment. 
* Encourage cooperative wilderness gameplay. 
* Create temporary hubs without replacing towns. 
* Support exploration and long-distance travel. 
* Add meaningful world interaction without permanent clutter. 
 
Outposts are meant to be discovered, reclaimed, used, and eventually lost, 
keeping the wilderness alive and ever-changing.

= Apiculture (Beehives and Beekeeping) =

Apiculture is the practice of maintaining honey bee colonies within beehives. Bees live in organized colonies and will establish, grow, and produce honey and wax when provided with proper care.

== Setting Up Your Beehives ==

You will need the following:

'''Bee-Friendly Plants''' (decorative allowed)
* Poppies
* Lilies
* Snowdrops
* Campions

'''Water Sources'''
* Water or wine pitchers
* Water troughs
* Fountains

Pitchers are recommended as water access can be controlled.

'''Beehive Deeds'''
Available from Beekeepers (Vesper).

If all beehives are within 3 tiles of a flower and water source, a single flower and pitcher can support all hives.

== One Tile Tending ==

Beehives can be arranged so that a single standing position allows interaction with up to 22 beehives.
Because beehives may be tended from up to two tiles away, careful placement makes large hive clusters easy to maintain.

Draconis: /* Beehive Stages */

= Apiculture, Farming & Cooking Expansion Guide =

This page explains the player-facing features of the Apiculture (Beekeeping) system and the related Cooking / Farming / Ranching / Dairy / Wax Crafting systems.
All programming, installation, and developer-only details are intentionally omitted.

__TOC__

== Apiculture (Beekeeping) ==
Apiculture is the science (and art) of raising honey bees, also known as beekeeping. Bees live together in colonies and make their homes in beehives. Maintaining a hive takes ongoing care, but can be very rewarding.

To start, you need a beehive deed and an area with:
* Flowers
* Water

These can be decorative world objects or placed items.

== [[Beehive]] Stages ==
There are three distinct stages in a beehive’s development:

; Colonizing
: The hive sends out scouts to survey the area and locate flowers and water.

; Brooding
: Egg laying begins in full force as the hive prepares for full production.

; Producing
: After reaching maturity, the hive begins producing excess honey and wax.

See [[Beehive]]

== Hive Health & Population ==
A hive is measured in two ways:
* Overall health
* Bee population

=== Overall Health States ===
Overall health indicates the average well-being of the colony:

; Thriving
: Bees are extremely healthy. Produces honey and wax at an increased rate.

; Healthy
: Bees are healthy and producing excess honey and wax.

; Sickly
: Bees are sickly and no longer producing excess resources.

; Dying
: If nothing is done quickly, bee population will begin to drop.

=== Bee Population ===
Bee population is a rough estimate of the number of bees in the hive. More bees can increase production, but large hives are more difficult to maintain:
* More water and flowers are required to support a large hive.
* The range a hive can check for flowers and water increases as the hive gets larger.
* If conditions become poor enough, bees may abscond (leave), resulting in an empty hive.

''Note:'' A single hive can support up to 100,000 bees. A healthy hive can last indefinitely, but older hives are more susceptible to infestation and disease.

== Caring for a Hive ==
Like any living thing, bees are susceptible to outside threats such as parasites and disease. Beekeepers have multiple tools (including potions) to manage these threats and improve productivity.

=== Potions & Their Uses ===
; Cure potions
: Used to combat diseases such as foulbrood and dysentery. Can also neutralize excess poison.

; Poison potions
: Used to combat insects (example: wax moth) and parasites (example: bee louse). Use carefully—too much poison can harm the bees.

; Strength potions
: Used to build up the hive’s immunity to infestation and disease.

; Heal potions
: Used to help heal the bees.

; Agility potions
: Gives bees extra energy allowing them to work harder. Boosts honey/wax output and increases the range bees can search for flowers and water.

=== Environmental Balance (Flowers & Water) ===
The hive depends on nearby resources:
* Flowers are used for building, food, and general colony function.
* Water is required, but too much water can increase the risk of disease-carrying bacteria.
* Too many flowers can bring the bees into contact with more parasites and insects.

== Hive Management (Apiculture Gump) ==
Managing and caring for a hive is done through the Apiculture gump. The left side shows status icons you can use to monitor and respond to problems:

; Production
: Opens the production screen where you harvest what the hive has produced.

; Infestation
: A warning indicator (red or yellow) means the hive is infested. Use poison to deal with pests.

; Disease
: A warning indicator (red or yellow) means the hive is diseased. Cure potions help fight sickness.

; Water
: Shows water availability. Too much water may increase disease risk.

; Flowers
: Shows flower availability. Too many flowers may increase parasite exposure.

== Daily Growth Check Results ==
The hive performs a growth check once per day (shown in the upper-right of the gump). The results may include:

* Not healthy
* Low resources
* Population decrease
* Population growth
* Stage increase / resource production

Most of this information is also available via in-game help.

== Honey & Wax Production ==
Once mature, hives can produce:
* Honey
* Raw beeswax

Honey can be processed into jars:
* ''3 Honey + 1 Bottle = 1 Jar of Honey''

Raw beeswax must be rendered before it can be used for crafting.

== Wax Rendering ==
Beeswax production includes a processing step:

* Hives produce ''Raw Beeswax''
* Raw beeswax must be rendered into usable ''Beeswax''
* Rendering may fail, producing ''slumgum'' waste (a by-product)

''Tip:'' Rendering requires you to be near a heat source.

== Wax Crafting ==
Wax crafting turns beeswax into useful items, primarily centered around candle-making and decorative wax items.

=== Base Wax Resources ===
From wax, you craft the base resources needed for candle-making, such as:
* Blank candles
* Candle wicks

=== Candle Items ===
Examples of craftable candle items include:
* Short candles
* Long candles
* Colored variants (often involve dyes; may be randomly hued)
* Specialty candles (may require rare components depending on your world)

=== Decorative Wax Items ===
Examples include:
* Dipping sticks (decorative; may be flippable)
* Blank candle piles / decorative stacks
* Wax busts (a decorative bust that can take on a player’s face under special conditions)

== Cooking Expansion Overview ==
The Cooking Expansion adds breadth and realism to food creation and consumption. It includes:
* Expanded cooking tools and utensils
* Reorganized food categories (meals, bowls, beverages, dairy, etc.)
* Beverage systems (brewing / juices / wine in supported worlds)
* Witchcraft-themed food crafting (in supported worlds)
* Animal feeding/hunger integration (see Animal Husbandry)

== Food Effects & Buffs ==
Many foods can provide bonuses such as:
* Skill boosts
* Strength/Dexterity/Intelligence boosts
* One or multiple stat boosts depending on the food

=== Duration ===
Food bonuses last based on hunger / fill factor behavior:
* The duration of boosts is tied to the food’s fill factor.
* Some foods can define custom durations, but generally follow hunger timing.
* Effects typically do not stack—if you already have an active boost, eating again may not refresh it until it expires.

=== Raw Foods ===
Some foods may be marked as raw and can be eaten, but raw consumption may carry risk depending on your shard’s rules.

== Milk & Cheese System ==
This system allows milking animals and producing cheese.

=== Milking ===
Players can milk animals such as:
* Cows
* Goats
* Sheep

Milk can be stored and then:
* Bottled for drinking/recipes
* Used to fill a cheese form for cheese-making

=== Cheese Making ===
Cheese-making is a timed process:
* Fill a cheese form with enough milk
* Begin fermentation
* Harvest cheese when complete

Results can vary by player skill, with a small chance to fail and a small chance to produce special “magic” cheeses.

=== Cheese Types & Portions ===
Cheese comes in multiple forms and can often be carved into portions:
* Full wheels
* Large wedges
* Small wedges

Magic cheese types may grant temporary stat benefits, similar to special fish-style foods.

== Animal Husbandry & Ranching ==
Animals behave more like real animals and support deeper farming gameplay.

=== Realistic Animal Behavior ===
Examples include:
* Prey animals running from threats
* Predators hunting prey
* Animals interacting with food sources and farms

=== Aging & Breeding ===
Animals can:
* Age over time
* Reproduce
* Produce offspring
* Die naturally (or be killed)

=== Farming & Ranching Gameplay ===
A ranch system supports farm ownership and livestock management, often including:
* Ownership/branding concepts
* Ranch tools and ranch management interfaces
* Livestock control and containment (fences/gates in supported worlds)
* Specialized breeds (milk vs meat vs wool, etc.)

== Crops & Wild Agriculture ==
A crop system supports naturally-spawning (wild) crops designed to exist in the world. These are intended to be harvested rather than planted by players, depending on your shard’s setup.

Crops provide ingredients for:
* Cooking
* Brewing / beverages (in supported worlds)
* Animal feeding (in supported worlds)

== Beekeeping Quest ==
A quest may exist that introduces players to beekeeping:

* An old man sends players to collect honeycombs
* Honeycombs can be gathered from wild beehives and honey bears
* Honey bears resemble normal brown bears but carry a honeycomb
* Trading in honeycombs can reward specialized equipment that helps separate honeycomb into honey and raw beeswax

== Tips & Notes ==
* Beekeeping is long-term and rewards consistent care.
* Balance is important—too much of a good thing (water/flowers) can create problems.
* Larger hives produce more but require more resources to sustain.
* Older hives are more vulnerable to infestation and disease.
* Wax production supports candle-making and decorative crafting.
* Food systems may provide meaningful buffs—use them before hunting, gathering, or crafting sessions.

== Quick Summary ==
* Apiculture adds realistic beehives, honey, and wax.
* Hives progress through stages and require maintenance.
* Honey can be jarred and used as a valuable resource.
* Raw beeswax must be rendered before crafting.
* Wax supports candle-making and decorative wax items.
* Cooking Expansion adds broader food crafting and consumable buffs.
* Milk & Cheese adds milking and cheese-making with possible special results.
* Animal Husbandry adds aging, breeding, and deeper farming/ranching gameplay.
* Crop systems provide world-grown ingredients for the expanded food ecosystem.

'''Brooding''' – Population growth accelerates.
'''Producing''' – Excess honey and wax are generated.

== Beehive Health ==

=== Overall Health ===

Thriving – Increased honey and wax production.
Healthy – Normal production.
Sickly – No excess production.
Dying – Population will begin to fall.
[Empty] – Bees have abandoned the hive.

=== Population ===

A hive supports up to 100,000 bees.
Larger populations require more flowers and water.
If conditions worsen, bees may abandon the hive entirely.

== Hive Growth Check ==

A growth check occurs once per day during world save.
