The Encylopedia!

[raynes]

It seems that the devs slipped in the encylopedia without telling us that it's officially in the game yet. I'd like to make a few coments/suggestions about it.

First off after seeing how it works, I really like it. It adds a ton to the game and looks like it will make many parts of Atys come to life. I am confused on a few things though.

1) How do I get the actual article to appear? I can get the entry and have gotten all of the pre-reqs but can't get the big bubble.
2) It doesn't seem like the articles really match the npcs and tasks that make them open up. Are they suppose to match?

I have noticed the same things and I agree completely.

BTW so far I have had the following entires appear:

The Fryos People
The History of the Fryos (have all the progression missions done, just need the big bubble!)

The Zorai People
Zorai Culture

Critters
Goari (have all the progression missions done, just need the big bubble!)

Kitin
Kitin Story 2

Certain numbers of these pre-requisites have been unlocked in chapter 2
part 1. Their relevance will become clear with the unveiling of the
encyclopedia and rituals in chapter 2, part 3.

Gratz to the first 10 who found them, they will receive a Saga of Ryzom
T-Shirt. And remember, the encyclopedia is not live yet !
We hope you enjoyed our christmas easter egg ;o)

i'd like to have a section where we can add stuff ourselves, so we can explain stuff on the map more than the markers do

or even add other notes of our own

I've done a few of these too, and I believe the big bubble comes from the rites...which are coming in the third part of patch 2 on jan 6th I believe. Either way, it'll be in before I can play again.

I'm with you on number 1 here. I've been going all over the Majestic Garden today doing missions in the off hope that one of them will make an entry appear in the encyclopedia. After 40 seperate missions only 5 entries are in my encyclopedia.

One NPC gave me two entries in the heading Creatures -> Ragus. Funny part was, One was a kitin mission and one was a gingo mission. Neither mission had anything to do with killing Ragus. Granted this will make people do more missions but the hit or miss nature of actually getting an entry in your encyclopedia may deter some people.

My only concern so far is that all the missions that have added entries to my encyclopedia and that of others in my guild have been kill missions. The ability to get kill missions from an NPC is directly related to your melee level so if all the encyclopedia missions are related to kill missions alot of people that didn't want to are going to have to become melee fighters just to be able to access encyclopedia entries in higher level zones. Even though I have 200+ in forage, I can't get kill missions in Knoll of Dissent so I know it is not based on highest level becuase others in my guild can get the kill missions and they have melee over 100.

Thanakar ... some of our guildies have gotten enclopedia entries from message delivery misisons, and I have heard unconfirmed reports about some crafting.

[xcomvic]

Bah, over 10 people have done the Ritual Missions already... can someone give me some clues as to get a start on them?

[pinsao]

I can confirm that crafting missions give encyclopedia entries
