[List of Inventory Objects]

The Grail Score is a representation of how good a Seeker is doing in The Grail Lords and the determining factor to become a Grail Legend one day. The score increases each time the Seeker unlocks one of the available Achievements. With each 500 points, the Seeker can claim 1 Honour.

Achievements are automatically earned when Seekers met the requirements for unlocking the achievement. Each unlocked achievement increases the Grail Score of the Seeker. The amount of points earned depends on the unlocked achievement. Many achievements can be unlocked multiple times, each time with more difficult requirements.

Seekers can choose to either publicly display their earned achievements or keep them hidden as some achievements are difficult to find or obtain. The Grail Lords do no provide any official information on how to earn achievements.

The Rarity of achievements is displayed by a Gold, Silver or Bronze star and get updated once a day.
There are 7 Achievements Chapters:

The Popularity of a Seeker is the sum of all the popularity points they received and represents how liked the character is among other Seekers. The popularity -or lack of it- might affect the social interaction with other players and characters in-game.

Honour is used to represent the fame and glory of Seekers earned during their life time.

Unlike Equipment, items can't be repaired and when the durability of an item reaches 0 it breaks and is permanently gone.

The Item Quality:
The quality of the items that can be created at the town workshops don't affect the material costs, but higher quality does require more stamina to be created.

The elections happen in 4 different phases:

Phase I: A poll requesting new Town Elections
After 30 days since the last election, any citizen older then 30 days can anonymously start a poll requesting new elections for 50 Stamina. The poll will run for 5 days during which citizens can vote either in favor of the current Town Leader and their Council or against. Only when the majority of the citizens request new Elections, the next phase starts. In case of scheduled elections, this phase is skipped.

Phase II: Accepting Applications
When the majority requested new elections, new elections will be organized automatically. Citizens older then 30 days and members of the town have 4 days to send an application in case they want to become the new town leader. This costs 1 Silver. The candidates have some space available to deploy their election campaign and motivate citizens to vote for them.

Phase III: The Elections
The elections last for 4 days in which citizens older then 30 days can vote for one of the candidates. All citizens can vote once, but Grail Nobles have the possibility to cast a second vote. This privilege can only be used once during each election.

Phase IV: The Results

Participation requires 5 Stamina and increases Town Reputation by 2. Every Sunday, all citizens of the winning town will receive an additional 20 Stamina for that day. As an additional prize, one Grail Stamina Potion is given to one random participant each week.

How Competitions Work
The Grailympics consist of 3 competitions (rotating weekly), and each Seeker can choose to participate in one of those competitions. Each competition is build around 3 Skills and 3 random factors (Motivation, Condition, Mental Spirit) all ranging from 1 to 100 points. These random factors allow even young citizens to contribute to their towns.


Thus, the score a Seeker can obtain ranges between 6 and 600, were 300 points are fixed and based on the Seeker's Skill, while the other 300 come from 3 random values that aren't affected by anything.


A town's total score is always the sum of 9 citizens' scores - the 3 highest scores from each of the 3 competitions.
If the score of a Seeker is among the 3 highest in the selected competition, then the town score will increase and the Seeker will be displayed in the top 3. If the score is lower than the top 3, the score for the town does not increase.

Using the re-roll
All participants can use one re-roll to try and improve their lowest random number for 3 Grail Tokens. The highest value of both rolls is kept. In other words, the score of the participant can never get lower. In addition, Grail Nobles will have a guaranteed higher result on their re-roll than their lowest score.

The Town Lottery is an event organized by the Town Council in which Seekers (both citizens of the town as visitors) can purchase up to 10 tickets and have a chance on winning the Lottery Jackpot.

In each town there can be only one lottery at the time and it is up to the Town Council to set a duration and a lottery ticket price. In addition, a tax on the sold tickets can be added as well as a starting jackpot. The money earned by selling tickets goes into the town treasury while the remaining money goes into the lottery jackpot.

The drawing takes place during the Daily Reset of the last day of the lottery. With each lottery drawing there's a 10% chance that no winning ticket is drawn. In that case, the town receives a percent of the lottery jackpot equal to their ticket tax. The remaining money remains in the jackpot for the next lottery.

+ Seekers are able to participate in different lotteries at the same time in different towns.

Only once the book has been read the Seeker receives the effect of the Book, which can be a Skill Bonus, unlocking a new quest, an ability or something else. Each book can only be read once.

Writing Books
Towns don't automatically receive books, they need to be copied by Seekers from the original book. Each 20 points on the Writing Skill reduces the required 10 Stamina by 1 to write one page. The writers receive a wage set by the Town. Each time the Seeker has a small chance based in their Intelligence Skill to read already a page of the book before it becomes available in the Library.

The Literacy Test
Each Seeker must pass the Literacy test before being granted access inside the Library. It is the -in-game- proof that the character is able to read. The test comes in the form from a Tutorial Quest and can be taken at any given time. Once the test is passed, the Seeker can purchase a Library Pass and have access to all the books available in the Library of the town.

Together with the Library, the University is a part of the Town Academy.
At the university Seekers can follow and teach classes to improve certain skills. The University is managed by a Town Councillor who is in charge for accepting or refusing applications to teach. Each accepted class requires a Writable Skin from the town. If there are no Writable Skins available in the Town's Inventory, the class can't be accepted.

The Students
Students can pick and follow one of the classes offered during that day which requires 100 Stamina. Each class has a certain difficulty (basic, advanced, expert, master and grand master) which is based on the skill of the Teacher. If the class is perfect for the student, they receive 150 Stamina worth of experience on the skill. If the class is difficult , they will only receive 75 Stamina worth of experience. In case the student's skill is higher than the skill of the teacher, the class can't be followed .

Teachers
Seekers who reached at least 20 in one of the Academic Skills, can teach the skill to other Seekers. The Councillor responsible for the Academy must accept or reject the class. Once accepted, the teacher will give the class on the selected day and be unable to leave town for that day. Students will pay a fee (set by the teacher) to follow the class. The Teaching Skill reduces the amount of Stamina required to teach. There are also NPC-teachers who teach certain skills with a random difficulty. Before starting to teach it might be good to meet with possible students first. This avoids empty classrooms.

Academic Skills:

• Light Armorer
• Medium Armorer
• Heavy Armorer
• Repair
• Reading
• Writing
• Bookkeeping
• Eye for Quality
• Wound Treatment
• Identify Creature

Workshop Guild Classes
Each Guild Keeper can teach a class about the related Guild Skill (Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Carpenting and Tailoring) at the university once a week. These classes still need to be accepted by the Academy Rector.

The Labor Hall is one of the available Town buildings. Seekers can find a job offered by the town or other Seeker and earn a wage.

The Town Jobs:
Town jobs are various jobs offered by the town. The wage paid comes from the Town Treasury.

Additional Notes:
+ Followers can be hired at the Labor Hall to temporarily increase certain Skills of the Seekers.
+ Seekers and towns can set any wage, this means that few Seekers might try and profit from others, placing ridiculous low wages for the work done.

At the Town Center, Seekers can make an attempt to steal money from others. This is called Pickpocketing and is considered to be a crime for which the thief can be sentenced to Jail.

Possible Victims
Thieves can not pick a victim directly. Instead the pickpocket attempt is made on a random Seeker who is currently in the Town, has at least 1 Bronze on hand, been active the last 48 hours and at least 30 days old. The Personal Bodyguard is an NPC follower that can be hired for 1 Grail Token a day. In addition to his assist in combat, he also will successfully prevent any pickpocket attempts made on the Seeker.

Training the Pickpocketing Skill
The Pickpocketing Skill can be trained up to 60 points using stamina. During the training Seekers won't steal any money, but they can't get caught and sentenced to jail neither.

Making a pickpocket attempt
Each attempt to pickpocket requires 20 Stamina. The chance on your success depends on the Pickpocketing Skill.
+ Cool-down: After each attempt, successful or not, there is a waiting time of 2 hours before another attempt can be made.
+ Chance on success: Is the chance to successfully steal money from your victim. The amount you steal varies between 1% and 5% of what your victim carries on the moment and is limited to a maximum of 15 Silver.
+ Chance on being seen: Is the chance that the attempt, successful or not, was seen by the victim and/or other people currently in town. Once seen, Seekers can report the crime to the Town Watch.
+ Chance on being caught: Is the chance to get caught while stealing and being sent to the Jail instantly. The chance is based on the amount of active members of the Town Militia.

Reporting a crime
Seekers who witnessed the pickpocket attempt receive an event and have the possibility to report the crime to the Town Watch. Once a crime is reported, the Councillor responsible for the Town Watch can sent out an arrest warrant for the thief.

In case the thief is still in the town on the time the arrest is sent out, they will be automatically sentenced to the Town Jail. In case the thief managed to leave the town in time, he/she no longer can enter the town for a period of time.

Additional notes:
+ Thieves must have a Bravery Skill of 90% or higher to be able to pickpocket in The Grail Monastery.

The Town Jail is one of the available buildings in a Town and can be upgraded up to level 6. Its main purpose is to imprison Seekers who have been caught doing some kind of criminal activity such as pick pocketing, avoiding taxes or killing certain npc's. In rare occasions Seekers who have transgressed some of the in-game rules might be punished by doing some jail time as well.

+ Being Imprisoned:
Seekers who are in jail are unable to do most of the regular actions, nor do they have access their personal possessions such as meals, equipment, items or their inventory. They can only use their stamina to pay of their debts to society or try and escape. Once a prisoner did their time, they will be released from jail and can continue to partake in their normal life. As prisoners have no access to their meals, they starve and might lose additional stamina and experience on their personal skills. This can be prevented if another Seeker gives bread to the prisoner.

+ Paying back their debts:
+ Working for a faster release:
+ Digging a tunnel:
+ Sawing the barred window:
+ Visiting the Prisoners:
Seekers can see who is currently imprisoned in their town and why.
The are able to interact with the prisoners in various ways:

+ Giving a bread:
+ Throwing eggs:
+ Throwing stones:
+ Releasing a prisoner:

A Tax Investigation is an ability for Towns to see if Seekers have unpaid town taxes. Such investigation can be started at any time by the town against any Seeker.

When an investigation is required, a Bookkeeping job can be taken at the Labor Hall which requires 90 Stamina. The Bookkeeping Skill and the Intelligence Skill reduce the required stamina.

In case the suspect has no or less unpaid taxes than allowed, the investigation has no further effect. However, if the suspect has more unpaid taxes than allowed, the investigation continues and the suspect receives an automatic letter including a deadline of 48 hours to pay the unpaid taxes to the town (Only the tax at the start of the investigation is taken in account).

In case the suspect paid the tax in time, the investigation has no further effect and is finished. If the suspect didn't pay the tax, they can be arrested and jailed by the town. For that the Seeker must be caught inside the town walls. The time spend in the Town Jail is based on the amount of unpaid taxes.

Towns with a level 10 Bank have the option to directly access the bank account from the suspect with an ongoing debt. In case there's sufficient money available on the bank account the town can use the money on the bank to settle the debt.

The Town Office is only accessible for the Town Council of that Town. Other Seekers have no business there and cannot enter.
It is in the Town Office where the Town Council makes its decisions for the Town. The building upgrades, the Town Warehouse, Town Inventory and Town Member statistics are located there.
The Town Council is chosen by the Town Leader. The task of the Council is to make the town prosper and help its members. An active Town Council is essential for a successful Town.

When you join a Workshop Guild, your Guild Score will increase whenever you spend stamina on making items in that workshop or if you work for other Seekers at the Labor Hall. There is no limit on the amount of Guilds you join and you can abandon the Guild at any time.

There are currently 4 Workshop Guilds:
- The Blacksmith Guild
- The Carpenter Guild
- The Tailor Guild
- The Alchemist Guild

Become a Guild Apprentice
When you have less than 40 on the Workshop Skill, you can apply to a Guild Master. Once that Master accepted your application, you can use your master's skill to create new tools and items. In exchange, the stamina used by you will increase the guild score of your master. You can leave your master whenever you want or when you reach 40 on the skill.

Become a Guild Master
When you have 80 or more on the Workshop Skill you can become a Guild Master and help younger Seekers. You can have one apprentice or 2 when you reached 100 on the skill. Your apprentices must live in the same town as you do and you can kick the apprentice and quit being a master at any time.

The Workshops are a location that can be visited in every Town. Each workshop can be upgraded several times by the Town Council. Unlocking additional options for the Seekers or allowing to create higher quality objects.

The Grail Castle is the very heart of the Grail Realm. From there the Grail Lords run their business.
Because the Grail Castle is not an actual location on the World Map, it always is accessible! Even when you are in the Hospital or in Jail.
In the Reward Hall of the Grail Castle Seekers can exchange their Grail Tokens for special favours.
The Hall of Fame is where Seekers can see several lists with Rankings. Like the Popularity Ranking or Honour Ranking.
Seekers also are able to work straight for the Grail Lords. This is by far the most easiest way to make money and it is always available.

The Grail Tavern is an in-game chat room where all Seekers can meet and talk with each other in a peaceful environment. It is a great place to gather information, meet new friends and set up trade deals. The Grail Tavern is also the place were you can drink beer in an unlimited quantity bought by yourself or offered by others. All visitors of the Tavern agree to have read and accept the Tavern Rules.

The Tavern Legend:Tavern Tuesday:

Each 3rd Tuesday of the month there is a social gathering at the Taverns, called Tavern Tuesday. During that day the Beer prices have been reduced to 21 Bronze instead of the usual 24 Bronze.

• Do not swear or curse! Ever! This includes words in other languages and also abbreviations, such as 'stfu' or 'fu'. If you are unsure about a word, simply do not use it. The Moderators will decide if the language used is inappropriate, not the chatters.
• No massive amount of CAPS. WE ALL CAN READ YOUR SENTENCES WITHOUT THE CAPS, THANK YOU.
• English is the only language allowed in chat.
• Do not encourage others to break rules, do not intimidate or harass others either.
• Don't spam or flood the Taverns. Spamming is posting repeated, unwanted or annoying messages.
• No insults, no threats, no racism and no flaming. Flaming is a term used to describe a hostile or aggressive interaction between chatters. Insults include any comment made to or about a Seeker that are intended to degrade or embarrass. Threats to other Seekers are allowed only if the context is entirely in-game. Racism will not be tolerated in any context.
• No Controversial/Sexual Chats. The Grail Tavern is not the place to voice your opinion on controversial subjects such as gender, school, politics or religion. Please keep in mind that the Grail Community is an all ages area, and sexual comments or suggestions will not be tolerated.
• Do not post links to offensive sites or pictures (no nudity, pornography or violence) in the Tavern.
• Do not use the Tavern to promote any out-game activity.
• Most important of all - Don't annoy the Tavern Moderators! (Moderators have a red or green colored name).

Seekers found breaking any of the rules may be warned, kicked or banned by a Moderator, depending on severity.

Moderators have been picked by Lord Arogandor for their consistency, fairness and reliability. If you feel you have been unfairly treated by a moderator, first try to talk with this mod. If unsuccessful, send an message to Lord Arogandor explaining your side and also the time this occurred so he may investigate the situation.

If you are warned by a moderator - do not argue that you did not do anything wrong. If you're warned or kicked out by a moderator, trust their judgement that you did "something" wrong. Some will tolerate your behavior more than others so don't argue it was unfair, just realize you did "something" unacceptable by someone else and learn!

Combat Terminology:

• Blocking: Passive, defensive action based on the Blocking Skill. Only activates when the secondary skill of the main hand or the off hand is blocking. A successful block reduces the damage to 0 after a placed hit.


• Critical Strike: Passive action that doubles the base damage (before defense reductions are added) after a successful hit. The chance on success is based on the Critical Strike Skill.


• Dodging: Passive, defensive action based on the Dodging Skill. A successful dodge reduces the damage to 0 after a placed hit.


• Parry: Passive, defensive action based on the Parry Skill. Only activates when the secondary skill of the main hand or the off hand is parry. A successful parry reduces the damage to 0 after a placed hit.


• Retreat: Player action, allowing the Seeker to end the fight. Chance on success is based on the Retreat Skill. On success, the combat ends and the Seeker can continue their travel. No combat experience is awarded. On failure, the round for the Seeker ends immediately.

When a Seeker encounters a monster on the Map they have the option to fight the monster or to run away from it. When the Seeker decides to run away, they move back one map tile from the direction they came. Running away from battle without even try and face the opponent, decreases the Bravery Skill by 0.01 points.

When a fight isn't going well, the Seeker can attempt to tactically retreat from combat. This is different from the option to run away when encountering an opponent and which decreases the Bravery Skill.

The chance on success depends on the Retreat Skill and the difference between the combat level of the Seeker and the combat level of the opponent. Some monsters have the Pursuit Ability, which reduces the chance on a successful retreat.

If the attempt to retreat would fail, the Seeker lost a turn and combat continues in which the Seeker can try to retreat again next turn. With each attempt, the retreating skill increases slightly. If the attempt was successful the combat will end.

They are able to predict the weather of the Realm for the next few days and they are at least 80% of the time correct with their weather predictions.

The amount of Grail Tokens the Meteorologists receive from the community pool each reset is based on the amount of Seekers that were online the past day divided by 20 (rounded up). As long there are sufficient Grail Tokens in the pool the weather forecast is visible for all Seekers in the Realm.

The World Map symbolizes the Realm of the Grail Lords. Seekers can travel over the map and enter different locations like towns, ruins, mines, forests, mountains...
The most important locations, like the towns are connected by roads on which Seekers can travel faster (meaning, they require less stamina to move through). Each tile requires a certain amount of stamina to cross depending on the terrain of the tile, the weather and the traveling skills of the Seeker. With each step, the traveling skill connected to the tile will increase.

Fighting numerous monsters along their path.

Due to new additions and updates the Realm keeps expanding, allowing Seekers to discover new, unexplored areas.

The Grail Realm

When traveling on the World Map Seekers will be able to enter different locations. Depending in which location they are, various actions like chopping wood, fish or mine resources can be done.

The Fear Threshold:
The fear threshold of a location is the minimum Bravery Skill a Seeker must have to enter the location without fear. In case the Bravery Skill is lower, the Seeker must overcome a fear test -which requires 10 Stamina- to gather sufficient courage. Seekers can also temporarily increase their courage by drinking alcohol and getting drunk (each intoxication level temporarily increases the Bravery Skill by 10 points).

The Ferry Express is a location on the map (Coordinates: -2x -7y) and the only way to reach the Island north across the sea. Seekers who want to make use of the Ferry need to purchase a ticket for 2 silver before they can embark the boat.

Once a Seeker purchased a ticket, the boat will immediately departs to the Island which takes 3 hours real time. Once the boat arrived the Seeker can disembark and embark again at anytime to sail back to the main land.

Seekers can donate Money, Wood, Wool and Iron Nails to construct additional boats. The Carpentry Skill and the Naval Construction Skill improve the efficiency of building new boats.

Each time a Seeker makes use of the Ferry Express, the boat loses some of it's durability. When the boat has no durability left, another boat needs to be constructed. If there are no boats available, the Island no longer can be reached.

The Ferry Express has an Office where the money earned through tickets is kept as well the materials donated by Seekers for building additional boats.

Additional Notes:

With each attempt to chop wood the Seeker has a 20% base chance to receive damage. The Endurance Skill reduces this chance by 0.05% per point.


+ Searching for Ingredients:
Searching for ingredients in the forest is the same like searching for ingredients in the Shore. But the ingredients that can found at the forest are different than those that can be found in the shore. Seekers must have an Herb Bag equipped before they can search for ingredients.
