<table><tr valign="top"><td>
The '''gilded locus''' is a unique relic that is capable of granting vast enhancive power. It is an arcane invention of a multidisciplinary scholarly collective that incorporates techniques of lapidary work and glasswork with complex magical infusion. As an intricate, artistic construct that serves as an expansive repository for enhancive properties, any two loci are unlikely to be identical in either enhancive inscription or in form.

Players can receive a gilded locus with +1 max resource of the player's choice and 200/200 enhancive charges for free. The max resource will increase automatically as the player upgrades the locus. A player can have more than one locus, but only one locus can be used at a time, and loci are account attuned. It has its own unique inventory slot. It can receive up to 20 enhancive properties.

The gilded locus is debuted during the August 2024 Duskruin run. Obtaining, adding properties to, and boosting existing properties of a gilded locus is all done via automated NPC at any of the three major pay events, [[Duskruin]], [[Ebon Gate]], and [[Rumor Woods]]. '''The locus is account attuned, and it cannot be transferred or re-attuned.'''

You analyze the gilded locus and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

The gilded locus is a unique relic that is capable of granting vast enhancive power. It is an arcane invention of a multidisciplinary scholarly collective that incorporates techniques of lapidary work and glasswork with complex magical infusion. As an intricate, artistic construct that serves as an expansive repository for enhancive properties, any two loci are unlikely to be identical in either enhancive inscription or in form.

The crystalline structures of the gemstones used amplify and stabilize the enhancive magics woven into the locus, while the amorphous structure of the glass integrated into the design serves as a strategic buffer and arcane counterweight to the flows of magic throughout the construct. The enhancive properties that any given locus supports are typically etched or applied in alchemical ink beneath the surface and sealed in glass.

{{blue|The locus can receive up to 20 enhancive properties.}}

The locus is {{blue|permanently attuned}} to your account. It can be TUCKed while worn in order to hide it from sight. It has received 1 new properties and 1 property boosts since the last event reset.

{{blue|The locus's enhancive properties can only be adjusted by its creator and cannot be recharged with enhancive potions. The locus can be altered, but its noun must remain 'locus'.}}

The gilded locus may not be lightened.

==Properties==
A gilded locus can be acquired at each of the three major events, [[Duskruin]], [[Ebon Gate]], and [[Rumor Woods]]. A new locus comes with a free +1 to one max resource: Max Health, Max Mana or Max Stamina. Adding or boosting properties is also done at these three events. This is through an automated NPC.

This NPC at Duskruin is '''a half-elf traveler'''. To get a new locus, {{boldmono|ASK}} the NPC {{boldmono|ABOUT NEW}}.

The locus' starting max resource (Max Health, Max Mana, or Max Stamina) property is excluded from Adventurer Guild recharging cost calculation. This property is also not subject to the normal +20 cap.
===Adding Properties===
Up to two properties may be added per event. Adding one new property costs 5k event currency. Adding a second new property costs 25k event currency.

The first two properties added to the locus start at +5. Subsequent properties beyond the first two added start at +1.

To add new properties, {{boldmono|ASK}} the NPC {{boldmono|ABOUT ADD}}.
===Boosting Properties===
A locus may have an existing enhancive property boosted by +1 up to five times per event. Boosting a property scales in price in that event's currency (5k/10k/15k/25k/35k). The scaling price for boosting a property resets with each event.

The max resource (Max Health, Max Mana, or Max Stamina) increases automatically as the player upgrades the locus. It increases by +1 per boost at a rate of 1:1 for the first 50 boosts, 2:1 for the second 50 boosts and 3:1 for the third 50 boosts.

A one month enhancive charge is added to the locus each time a locus property is boosted. During this time, it cannot lose charges. This bonus is stackable.

To boost existing locus enhancive properites, {{boldmono|ASK}} the NPC {{boldmono|ABOUT BOOST}}.
===Swapping Properties===
The properties on a locus may be swapped, at a cost of 5k event currency. Below is an example:

<pre{{log2}}>The half-elf traveler says, "Simply ASK me about SWAP with the specific details of what you'd like."

[OOC Instructions:]
ASK traveler ABOUT SWAP <property> TO <enhancive>

The locus has the following property numbers to choose from:
1: Max Health [Restricted to 100/102/103]
2: Wisdom Base
3: Aura Base

Example: "ASK traveler ABOUT SWAP 1 TO 103" to swap Max Health to Max Stamina.
Example: "ASK traveler ABOUT SWAP 2 TO 200" to swap Wisdom Base to Strength Base.

==Charging==
A new gilded locus comes with 200 charges. It can be recharged at the [[Adventurer's Guild]].

It cannot be charged with standard Simucoin enhancive recharging potions. However, an oil was included in the August 2024 Duskruin Battle Vault that allowed the locus to be charged by one month. Charges from the Battle Vault oil are stackable.

The locus' starting max resource (Max Health, Max Mana, or Max Stamina) property is excluded from Adventurer Guild recharging cost calculation.

The following examples were provided for locus recharge costs:
