Old Maps
Maps can be found throughout the land, often leading to special landmarks, hidden treasures, or more mysterious things besides! But maps are old, out of date, often incomplete, and with instructions that need careful translating. Having an unappraised map is like having a locked box, you know there is something good there, but you can’t get at it… yet.
When a character obtains a map, it cannot be used until appraised. To have it appraised, they must either hire a scholar, or make use of one of the NPC scholars. To do so, they will need to fill out a map appraisal request form.
Old Map Commands in the Tinglebot
/map list: Lists a character’s old maps. Shows both Deciphered and Unidentified maps.
/map appraisal-request: Requests appraisal for an unidentified map
/relic appraisal-accept: Accepts a pending appraisal request (Scholars in Inariko only)
Maps will all have an associated ID (example: M12345). These will appear when viewing unidentified maps in the /map list command! These IDs are used for appraisal requests and the exact ID must be used.
Appraisal
To uncover the contents of a map, it must first be appraised by a Scholar who resides in Inariko.
Appraisal Cost: 3 🟩 Stamina from the appraiser
Only Scholars from Inariko can appraise maps.
In order to request the appraisal, you must first use /map appraisal request. Once you provide the character (who found it), the map ID, and the appraiser (Scholar you are using), the bot will then create a pending request and generate a request ID.
The next step, is that the appraiser uses /map appraisal-accept. Once they provide the appraiser (their character), the corresponding request ID, and description (appraisal text). 3 Stamina will be deducted from the Scholar, and the bot will DM the map owner the map coordinates!
NPC Appraisal Option
If no PC Scholar is available, players may request an NPC appraisal by paying 500 tokens. Be sure to indicate this on the Map Appraisal Request form. The 'appraiser' will simply be input as NPC. Once that is done, 500 tokens will be deducted and the map will be appraised, and the coordinates DM'd!
