Tomes

A Tome, or Mystical Tome, is a permanent piece of Equipment with no level requirement. It adds stats such as Strength, Dexterity, Magic or Vitality, and some add EXP, critical rate or speed. While you wear one, your pets and mounts no longer lose hunger or loyalty, so you do not need to feed them.

Most tomes need Craftsman level 1 and are made at the Nature Forge NPCs in the City of a Thousand Streams. A level 1 tome takes 3 Mystical Tome Fragments and 4 Mystical Tome Pages. Each higher level takes one tome of the level below plus Books of Old Principles, which you get by breaking down (decomposing) tomes. The usual way is to keep upgrading one tome and decompose many level 1 tomes for the books. Every tome from level 2 up has three possible recipes.

• Mystical Tome Fragments are rewards for stages of the Valley of Reciprocity, or are made from Flawless Pills of Truth from the Treasure Hunting daily quest.
• Mystical Tome Pages are made from 20 Perfect·Tokens of Luck each.
• All level 5 tomes can also be made with a Script of Fate.
• Tomes can also be bought from other players and the Auction House (see Currencies and Trade).

Each level has tomes for different stats. The table follows one Strength line as an example (shortened; other tomes of the same level give other stats).

• Rare tomes (for example The Three Scholars, Strength +45) are made with a Scroll of Tome, or with a Bookless Transcript plus any level 6 tome and 10 million silver coins.
• Nation Wars tomes are the two highest: Dominance (from a rare tome) and Emperor (from Dominance, +45 Strength, Dexterity and Magic among other stats). They use Seals of War, Supply Tokens and a large silver coin fee at the Tome Furnace in north Archosaur.
• Married players can make tomes at the Matchmaker Servant in Archosaur with materials from marriage quests; these cannot be traded or used to craft other tomes.
• The Faction Base sells Filial Scrolls (+15 to one stat, or +2% EXP) for 20 million silver coins each; they cannot be upgraded.
• The Nature Forge also sells a simple level 1 tome, Pure White (critical rate +1%), for 100,000 silver coins; it cannot be upgraded.

Any tome can be refined at an Elder, using Mirage Charts instead of normal refining stones. Like normal Refining, the first step from +0 to +1 has a 50% chance and each step after that 30%. Each tome has its own bonus table; for tomes the refine bonus is Spirit.
