Soothsaying
You must have either Meditation or Shamanic Infusion at level 50 before you may learn these skills.
Soothsaying is not a skill per se. One can use one of the four augury recipes (Beginner's, Basic, Advanced and Expert Augury) found among Lore Recipes. Ashk the Answerer will teach them with appropriate favor after you complete some errands for him.
Each augury recipe gives a one hour buff and can be repeated every hour. The buff effect can be good or bad. Known effects are listed below. When the effect description indicates X% or N it means the percentage X or value N varies with the recipe: Expert Augury gives a higher percentage (both good and bad) than Beginner's Augury.
| Name | Effect |
|---|---|
| Wisdom | +X% Earned Combat XP |
| Inattention | -X% Earned Combat XP |
| Hard Work | +X% Earned Crafting XP |
| Lazy Learner | -X% Earned Crafting XP |
| Undying | The first two times you die in any 15-minute period, you will instead avoid death |
| Focused | +N Max Power |
| Unfocused | -N Max Power |
| Normal Day | +10% Max Armor |
| Unpleasant Day | -10% Max Armor |
| +X% Max Health | |
| Vulnerable | -X% Max Health |
| Swift | +2 Out-Of-Combat Sprint Speed |
| Lucky | X% chance for non-magical loot items to be exceptional instead |
| Unlucky | X% chance for magical loot items to be non-magical instead |
| Regenerate 10% of max health every few seconds |
