You'll need a poetry book (which is destroyed in the process). When you recite a poem aloud, you only earn 1/3 of the [[Poetry Appreciation]] XP that you'd get by reading it privately, but all other nearby players will ALSO earn that much [[Poetry Appreciation]] XP. You will also earn [[Oratory]] XP based on the number of people listening. Instead of actually forcing players to read an entire book of poems, you will be prompted to enter a short poem yourself. You can write your own poetry or copy-and-paste poetry from elsewhere. (If you use others' poems, make sure to credit them!) Nearby players will see your poem and can vote on whether they like it or not. You'll get general feedback about how your poem was received, but that feedback has no game-play effects. (Because everybody's a critic).}}'''Poetry Podiums''' are public locations where poetry can be read aloud to others. It has become common for [[Guilds]] to work together to host public weekly Poetry Jam events.===== Podium Locations =====; [[Serbule]]: The Chortling Beaver ([[Fainor]]'s Inn).; [[Red Wing Casino]]: Public stage. {{:{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}/Level Up Rewards}} == Poetry Appreciation Experience Table =={{Spoiler| ?
