Non-Fiction Writing Mechanics

Writing Books at a Non-Fiction Writing Table

Books can be written using Non-Fiction Writing at a Non-Fiction Writing Table or Desk.

“

This is a desk for writing non-fiction textbooks. These textbooks can be studied by VIP players to gain experience via the Autodidacticism skill. (You need VIP access to use textbooks, but not to write them).

Write Book

Book writing happens while your character is offline. (You will "hang out" with this writing table for two days of offline time).

Each textbook is for a specifici skill and level range. To write the textbook, your Non-Fiction Writing skill must be at least as high as the book's minimum level, and your level in the book's topic skill must be 25 levels higher than the book's minimum level.

(For instance, to write the textbook for Shield levels 1-10, you'd need Non-Fiction Writing level 1 and Shield level 26. To write the book for Shield 11-20, you'd need Non-Fiction Writing level 11 an Shield level 36. And so on).

Here are all of the books you are capable of writing. Write which book?

— Non-Fiction Writing Desk

Once a book is selected from the list displayed on the table, additional details about crafting will be displayed.

“

You chose: Write Book (Levels XX - XX).

You will need ink and paper. To writethe book, you will undergo a two-day hangout with this writing table. Once the hangout is complete, the book will be done.

Warning: if you change hangouts after starting this one, the book will not be written and the materials will not be refunded.

Required materials:

- Ink x# (You have #)

- Parchment x# (You have #)

— Non-Fiction Writing Desk

If you are carrying the required materials, you will be given the option to start writing.

“

You've begun the hangout, Write Book (Levels XX - XX)

Your character will work on the book when offline. Remember that this is a hangout, so don't start a different hangout or your progress writing the book will be lost! (Along with the ink and paper!)

Crafted Books

When books are written, they have a chance to generate with a higher or lower Textbook XP Earned, giving them a rarity. The rarity does not influence the value of each book, but changes the amount of favor received for gifting. A lower level book with an Exceptional rarity can result in greater favor earned than a higher level book with a Common rarity. However, adventurers seeking to quickly raise favor should craft the highest available Combat or Non-Combat Textbooks they have access to.

Example Book	Rarity	Textbook XP Earned:
Sword Textbook (Levels 61-65)	Common	80%
Sword Textbook (Levels 61-65)	Common	90%
Sword Textbook (Levels 61-65)	Common	100%
Sword Textbook (Levels 61-65)	Uncommon	105%
Sword Textbook (Levels 61-65)	Rare	110%
Sword Textbook (Levels 61-65)	Exceptional	115%
Sword Textbook (Levels 61-65)	Epic	120%
Sword Textbook (Levels 61-65)	Legendary	125%
