They are the following:* * Olive oil * Pepper * Mace spice * Nutmeg * Saffron * Cinnamon * Sugar * Grains of paradise * Cloves {% endhint %} # Fishing {% code title="#workshops | #forest" %} ```javascript r!fish ``` {% endcode %} The `fish` command can be used by anyone to try and gather fish from the Seyne river. * **Necessary tool:** Fishing rod * **Location:** Primary slot * **Durability cost:** `7` * **Minimum Stamina:** `60%` * **Raw Stamina Cost:** `8` Every time you do the `fish` command, there is a 60% chance of it succeeding. If it does, you can get between **1-3** fish each success. ***These fish can be cooked and eaten, used in cooking, or simply sold to the market for profit.*** # Foraging {% code title="#forest" %} ```javascript r!forage ``` {% endcode %} The `forage` command can be used by anyone to try and gather herbs, nuts, and berries from the forest. Every time you do the `forage` command, you will spend **15 stamina** to scout out the area and collect a decent amount of forageable items ***(The command can be used once every 8h)***. You will get between **1-4** different ones, but only one per foraged item. You can find the following items in the forest: * Almonds * Anise * Basil * Blueberry * Caraway * Chamomile * Chestnuts * Chives * Coriander * Dill * Garlic * Hazelnuts * Laurel leaves * Marjoram * Mint * Mushrooms * Parsley * Pine nuts * Raspberry * Rosemary * Roses * Sage * Savory * Strawberry * Thyme * Walnuts {% hint style="info" %} *Most of these cannot be eaten. Instead, they may be used in* [*Cooking*](/items/cooking) *or they can be sold to other characters or to the market directly.* {% endhint %} # Moving How to move from one channel to another? > *One of our core principles is freedom of RP. However, we have to enforce some rules to keep us from devolving into chaos. One of these rules was implemented to regulate the way characters can move from one place to another, places being represented by Discord channels. In order to enter a channel, you have to know which channel you can do that from, you have to type an exit and entrance message, etc.*\ > \ > *The Moving mechanic enables users to seamlessly and easily move their characters from one place to another without even knowing the way pathing is handled in Medieval Discord.* ### Moving between channels The server is structured so that the main points of interest within the [City of Rosewood](https://medievaldiscord.com/rosewood/) are represented by channel categories. These categories have channels within them which represent specific locations where RP can occur. One location is represented by one channel. The uppermost channel, the first one, is the **nexus channel**. To enter and leave categories you must go through the nexus channels. Think of these nexus channels as hubs that you may RP in, but which you must go through to reach other categories. {% hint style="success" %} *The only exception to this would be the* [*Far Away Lands*](/channels/travel) *category in which every channel can be considered a nexus channel.* {% endhint %} You don't have to worry about this too much since the `move` command will handle all of this automatically for you. ``` r!move [@user] ``` When used, the `move` command will open up a drop-down menu, with a list of channels you can go to from the channel you are currently in. Moving between categories, through nexus channels, will cost you `2` Stamina. {% hint style="danger" %} *The \[@user] argument is optional and can only be used to move other characters with you that are either `Bound`, `Unconscious`, or `Intermission`. This will move them to the channel you move to. When targeted, the user will be asked for their consent (only if they are `Bound`). If they refuse to move with you, combat will be initiated! Ignoring the prompt for 10 minutes will trigger an automatic "Yes."*\ \ *Moving through the Main Gate-Walls with another user with this command will trigger an automatic arrest of both characters!* {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} *If you have 10 Stamina or less, you won't suffer this cost!* {% endhint %} The Bot will send a message indicating where you have gone to in the channel where the command was used, and another message indicating where you came from in the channel you chose to go to. ***When you move to a new channel, you should RP how you got there!*** {% hint style="warning" %} *Being `Mounted` will prevent you from entering Indoors or Cramped channels. If you wish to enter them, you will have to manually dismount first.* {% endhint %} ### Leaving and Entering Rosewood If you are in one nexus channel, you have the ability to move between them freely. The only exception to this would be the relation between **#main\_square** and **#walls**. If you are in Rosewood, you can go to the **#walls** only from the **#main\_square**. Inversely, if you are outside, you can come back into Rosewood only from the **#walls** channel to the **#main\_square**. For more information on this, check out: {% content-ref url="/pages/-MgGfkd1KvxuIJFdyEyS" %} [Inside vs Outside](/channels/moving/inside-vs-outside) {% endcontent-ref %} # Inside vs Outside When roleplaying in Rosewood, there is an important distinction to be made. Most channels are within the [City's walls](https://medievaldiscord.com/rosewood/3/). These represent the **"Inside"**, while the remaining channels are beyond the walls; the **"Outside"**. Rosewood is a City surrounded by walls with multiple gates that allow people to enter and leave at will. These gates are of course manned by members of the City Watch. To exit Rosewood, you will need to use the `move` command in the **#main\_square** channel. When you do this, in addition to the other channels you may go to, you will also be given the option to go to the **#walls** channel. Inversely, if you want to enter Rosewood from beyond the **#walls**, you will need to use the `move` command in the **#walls** channel. If you attempt to enter or exit Rosewood while you have the `Outlaw` or `AOS` roles on you, there is a chance you will be instantly arrested: * **Base arrest** **chance**: `60%` * (+)**Armor:** * **Gambeson, Chain Mail:** `5%` * **Brigandine, Rosewoodian Plate:** `10%` * (-)**Intelligence:** `2xint%` * (-)**Charisma:** `2xchr%` * **Clothing:** * **Silver Jewelry:** `+10%` * **Gold Jewelry:** `+20%` * **Highborn Clothing:** `+20%` * **Highborn Boots:** `+10%` * **Clerical Robes:** `-20%` * **Inquisitor Robes:** `-20%` * **Medicus Robes:** `-20%` * **Watch Uniform:** `-30%` * **Cloaked:** `-40%` * **Bailiff's Uniform:** `+80%` In addition to checking if people match the warrants they have listed, as well as Outlaws that have been banished from the City, the Watch also executes random searches that are unavoidable, and as previously mentioned, completely random. When going between **#walls** and **#main\_square**, there is a **5%** chance that your character's inventory will be checked for contraband. If any is found, it will be destroyed and they will be arrested on the spot and transported to the **#dungeons**. There are, however, roles that are exempt from these random searches: * ***`The Archbishop`*** * ***`The Inquisitor General`*** * ***`The Head Medicus`*** * ***`Lieutenants and above`*** * ***`Any nobility`*** {% hint style="info" %} *Having a Passport in your inventory will make you exempt from these random searches.* {% endhint %} # Travel While RP takes place in and around Rosewood, for the most part, characters may also travel to other locations either for flavor or for their jobs as would be the case with most Merchants. Travel is a very expensive and time-consuming undertaking that most people will not manage, so it will mostly be used by those who have a reason to do so, while still being open to characters that have a bit too much time/buckles on their hands. There are local destinations and those abroad. *Only **Merchants** have the necessary knowledge to travel to **Far Away Lands**.*

| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| Decrepit | A small single-room home with walls made out of wattle and daub, covered by a rotting thatched roof. There is no flooring, meaning the ground is simply dirt. The bed is uncomfortable and near the hearth that shoots smoke into the holes of the roof, as this home does not have a chimney. There are up to two glassless windows with a weak latch, and a thin wooden door, meaning it is easy to burglarize. |
| Base | A single-room home that is either out of timber, with a timber/thatched roof, or with wattle and daub walls paired with a thatched roof. Occasionally, homes like these can have turf roofs. There is room for more furniture besides the bed, like a few chairs next to the hearth, and perhaps a small table. The widows have a latch and the door is strong enough to keep most people out. |
| Improved I | A two-room home made out of a mix of timber planks and daub, usually whitewashed. They have very well-made thatched roofs that allow no rain to enter or ruin the walls. The flooring is made from timber planks, and the second room is used for storage/as a pantry. There is a table in the common room with chairs around it, a bed, and a hearth. |
| Improved II | A three-room home, made from timber and daub, clean and whitewashed, with a perfectly thatched roof, and up to three windows that have secure latches from the inside, The door is thick, with an improved lock to keep out thieves. A primitive chimney allows for smoke to pass through the roof without any of it staying inside. This, along with the increase in furniture quality, including a separate bedroom, allows for much more effective sleep. |
| Enhanced I | A multiple-room two-story building with the living quarters being on the second level, consisting of a bedroom/storage room split, while the first level is the entrance level, holding the common room and private chambers that serve as a bathroom. This home is a half-timber building, using a large thatched roof. The flooring is made of stone, as is the home's foundation. There are up to four glassless windows on every floor. |
| Enhanced II | A half-timber home that has been upgraded with a brick chimney that connects to the hearth, complemented by a small oven, and a brick staircase that leads to the second floor; being the entrance floor. The windows on the lower floor have inbuilt wooden bars to prevent entry from below. The daub on the outer walls is high-quality and enables its tenant to dye them a specific color. This home also enjoys a small plot of land around it, offering the people living in it the luxury of a private garden where a potential pet may live. Finally, the home is on a regular patrol route, meaning anyone trying to break in will likely be caught by the Watch. |
| Refined | A high-quality half-timber home with an internal chimney-fireplace combo that passes through a slate roof. The floors and foundation are laid with clay bricks, ensuring heat is trapped inside. The windows have locks, as do all the doors in the home. The common room is larger and can hold two small tables and a small bar near the hearth. These homes usually have gambling games like dice or intellectual games like chess ready to be played by guests/tenants. |
| Perfected | A wealthy two-story home, made from brick walls, covered in quicklime plaster that can be dyed almost any color. This home has glass windows and holds heat pretty well, ensuring comfortable winters for its owner. The second story has an enveloping balcony made from timber that surrounds it entirely. This floor has two bedrooms and a small common room. The ground floor is the large common room, a luxurious bathroom, and a small bedroom for potential servants. The storage/pantry is kept in the cellar below the ground floor. The outside has a larger garden and a small section of the home where various crafts may be perfected and practiced. |

* **The Clergy** are exempt from the Crown's and City's Taxes, except the Wardgeld.
* Characters who are **Excommunicated** are exempt from Church Taxes.
* Those who are **Arrested**, and those who are **Outlawed** pay no taxes.
* **Married women** are exempt from all Crown taxes.
* **Members of the Watch** are exempt from all City Taxes. ### Avoiding Taxes There are two main ways of avoiding taxes: * You may simply store your money somewhere else until Taxday passes. This can be done by taking your money out of the bank and holding onto it, by converting it to material goods and storing those in your personal storage, or by spending your bank balance. {% hint style="warning" %} *Minmaxing your taxes may become unprofitable for you eventually.* [*Withdrawals*](/economy/money#withdrawing-coin-from-the-bank) *will usually carry a monetary cost with them as well.* {% endhint %} * If you are on good terms with someone from one of the major gangs in Rosewood, you can ask them to sell you a Tax Exemption Slip which they can get from their Gang-specific NPC. A "Tess" *(as it's colloquially known)* is a piece of paper issued by the Mayor of Rosewood that has the power to exempt a person from paying taxes. These papers can be forged, and they often are, and then sold to certain members of Rosewoodian society. Being tax-exempt is not illegal as long as you can prove that it came from the Mayor. Those who become exempt through the gangs will most likely be unable to provide evidence to back up this connection. {% hint style="danger" %} *Even if you avoid taxes and manage to avoid doing so overtly, you will eventually accumulate enough wealth to be investigated by the Watch or the Mayor. When that happens, you will have to provide proof that you have been paying your taxes regularly. This is something the Reeve of your district will have — extensive paperwork detailing the taxes paid by the citizens of Rosewood. These records can always be forged, misplaced, or destroyed, and the people handling them can always be bribed.* {% endhint %} # Loans The Bank of Rosewood offers to store the monetary wealth of a number of its citizens in exchange for a monthly tax based on the amount stored. The taxmen of Rosewood often work closely with the banks to ensure that every citizen is keeping up with their taxes. Another way the bank makes money is by lending to the citizenry. The Bank of Rosewood employs a good number of Jewish bankers who are permitted to charge interest on the loans given out. {% hint style="danger" %} *Those who do not have at least 25 buckles in their account, cannot take out a loan!* {% endhint %} By using the `money` command and pressing the `LOANS` button you, are able to open up the loan menu. Here, you can press the `BORROW` button, after which you will be given the option of choosing how large a loan you will take. **It can be a few sums between 50-2000 buckles**. Depending on the amount, you will have a different time to pay it all back and a different interest rate. You will also receive the `Debtor` role. You may also press the `INFO` button to check the following data about your debt: * When it was taken out * The original sum * How much you owe * The date by which the debt must be paid You can always press the `REPAY` button and instantly pay back the money you owe to the bank. You must do this before the repayment date. {% hint style="warning" %} *You can't take out more loans if you already have one. Additionally, after paying back your debt, you won't be able to take out a new loan for seven days!* {% endhint %} Your debt is calculated instantly upon taking out a loan. It consists of the amount you took out, plus interest, plus the time required to pay it back. This is what you need to consider:
| Amount | Interest rate | Due date |
|---|---|---|
| 50-100 | 15% | 3 days |
| 250-500 | 20% | 5 days |
| 1000-1500 | 25% | 7 days |
| 2000 | 50% | 14 days |
# Blacksmith ⚒️ A page detailing the Blacksmith role within Medieval Discord and their forge command. ## Description: The Blacksmith is one of the oldest professions within Rosewood. They are skilled artisans who work with iron and other metals to create a variety of tools and household items. The blacksmith's workshop, known as a forge/smithy, is typically located near a source of fuel and consists of a hearth, anvil, hammers, tongs, and other specialized tools. To create a metal object, blacksmiths heat the metal in the forge and shape it using their tools until it reached the desired form. Blacksmiths are essential members of medieval society, as their skills are hard to pick up and even more difficult to master. ## Mechanics: {% code title="#workshops" %} ```javascript r!forge ``` {% endcode %} Just like every other smith, the Blacksmith uses the `forge` command in order to turn simple materials into complex products that can then be used in trading or selling in the Market. Using this command will open up a dropdown menu wherein you can choose what you want to make. **All smiths can use their personal** [**storage**](/items/inventory#storage) **in addition to their inventories when using the `forge` command!** #### Recipes: | **Item** | Ingredients | | ------------------- | -------------------------- | | **Axe** | *3 Iron Bars + 2 Wood* | | **Hammer** | *1 Iron Bar + 1 Wood* | | **Nails** | *1 Iron Bar* | | **Horseshoe** | *2 Iron Bars* | | **Slaughter Knife** | *1 Iron Bar + 1 Wood* | | **Hoe** | *2 Iron Bars + 2 Wood* | | **Pickaxe** | *2 Iron Bars + 2 Wood* | | **Steel Bar** | *5 Iron Ore + 10 Charcoal* | | **Iron Bar** | *5 Iron Ore* | * **Necessary tool:** Hammer * **Location:** Primary slot * **Durability cost:** `5` * **Minimum Stamina:** `50%` * **Raw Stamina Cost:** `5` * **XP Reward:** `3` * **XP Reward Cooldown:** `24h` * **XP Reward While on Cooldown:** *30% chance at 1XP per `forge`* ## Relationship with the Market and other Users: The Blacksmith can, of course, decide to buy the materials they need from the Market and sell their finished product back to it. However, if a user is attempting to maximize their profit, they should consider trading with other users for both materials and products. They require metal and wood, which they can get from PC [Miners](/commoner/fame/miner) and [Tree Fellers](/commoner/fame/tree-feller). When acquiring raw materials like this, you can get items at a discounted price, while the people you're buying from get a higher profit margin than they would were they to sell them to the market. The tools a Blacksmith makes are necessary for many other trades from the Fame route. Therefore, blacksmiths should prioritize selling their forged goods to other characters. However, if you can't find a customer, don't worry, you can always sell off your product at the market for a slightly smaller profit. # Goldsmith 💍 A page detailing the Goldsmith role within Medieval Discord and their forge command. ## Description: The Goldsmith is a very prestigious role in Rosewood's market. A goldsmith is a skilled artisan who works with gold and other precious metals to create a variety of objects such as jewelry, decorative objects, and religious items. The goldsmith's workshop *(called a "bijou")* is equipped with specialized tools, such as a crucible, blowpipe, and filigree tools, as well as various materials including gold, silver, and gems. To create a piece, the goldsmith first melts the gold and then shapes it using techniques such as casting, hammering, and engraving. Goldsmiths are highly valued members of society, as their creations are often used to display wealth and power. They are also employed to create objects for religious ceremonies and have a significant role in the production of illuminated manuscripts. ## Mechanics: {% code title="#workshops" %} ```javascript r!forge ``` {% endcode %} Just like every other smith, the Goldsmith uses the `forge` command in order to turn simple materials into complex products which can then be used in trading or selling in the Market. Using this command will open up a dropdown menu wherein you can choose what you want to make. **All smiths can use their personal** [**storage**](/items/inventory#storage) **in addition to their inventories when using the `forge` command!** #### Recipes: | **Item** | Ingredients | | ------------------ | ---------------------------- | | **Silver Jewelry** | *3 Silver Nuggets* | | **Gold Jewelry** | *3 Gold Nuggets + 1 Crystal* | | **Silver Nugget** | *3 Silver Ore* | | **Gold Nugget** | *3 Gold Ore* | * **Necessary tool:** Hammer * **Location:** Primary slot * **Durability cost:** `5` * **Minimum Stamina:** `50%` * **Raw Stamina Cost:** `15` * **XP Reward:** `3` * **XP Reward Cooldown:** `24h` * **XP Reward While on Cooldown:** *30% chance at 1XP per `forge`* ## Relationship with the Market and other Users: Just like all other smiths in Medieval Discord, goldsmiths have a complex relationship with other artisans, the market, and their customers. Unlike [Blacksmiths](/commoner/fame/blacksmith), goldsmiths usually sell their products to wealthier members of society. Since the raw materials they need to make their wares are costly, their labor and finished products cost a lot as well. Jewellery is by no means an essential item to be bought and sold by the common person. Instead, goldsmiths will likely find themselves selling to the market most of the time. They can maximize their profits by trying to procure the materials they need from [Miners](/commoner/fame/miner) who might have struck gold, both literally and metaphorically. By doing this, goldsmiths ensure they pay less for their raw materials while also allowing miners to make more money in the same trade. # Armorsmith 🛡️ A page detailing the Armorsmith role within Medieval Discord and their forge command. ## Description: An Armorsmith is a skilled artisan who specializes in creating armor for knights and soldiers. The armorsmith's workshop, known as an "armor", is equipped with specialized tools such as hammers, anvils, and shaping stakes. To create armor, the armorsmith uses various techniques such as forging, hammering, and riveting, to shape pieces of metal into armor components, such as helmets, breastplates, and gauntlets. The armorsmith then assembles the components into a full suit of armor, which is tailored to the individual wearer. Armorsmiths are highly valued members of society, as they play a critical role in protecting knights and soldiers on the battlefield. Armorsmiths are generally very prestigious within Rosewood. Their craft also includes the forging of shields and other protective gear. ## Mechanics: {% code title="#workshops" %} ```javascript r!forge ``` {% endcode %} Just like every other smith, the Armorsmith uses the `forge` command in order to turn simple materials into complex products which can then be used in trading or selling in the Market. Using this command will open up a dropdown menu wherein you can choose what you want to make. **All smiths can use their personal** [**storage**](/items/inventory#storage) **in addition to their inventories when using the `forge` command!** #### Recipes: | **Item** | Ingredients | Level Requirement | | --------------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------- | | **Gambeson** | *10 Linen* | Novice | | **Brigandine** | *8 Linen + 10 Steel* | Adept | | **Chain Mail** | *12 Iron Bars* | Master | | **Rosewoodian Plate** | *15 Steel Bars* | Grandmaster | | **Round Shield** | *5 Wood + 2 Linen* | Novice | | **Heather Shield** | *4 Wood + 2 Iron Bars* | Apprentice | | **Kite Shield** | *6 Wood + 2 Steel Bars* | Grandmaster | * **Necessary tool:** Hammer * **Location:** Primary slot * **Durability cost:** `5` * **Minimum Stamina:** `50%` * **Raw Stamina Cost:** `15` * **XP Reward:** `3` * **XP Reward Cooldown:** `24h` * **XP Reward While on Cooldown:** *30% chance at 1XP per `forge`* ## Relationship with the Market and other Users: For the majority of their forgables, armorsmiths will need refined material components such as iron and steel bars. These cannot be obtained from [Miners](/commoner/fame/miner), but armorsmiths can get them from [Blacksmiths](/commoner/fame/blacksmith). Doing so will make sure that you get them at a lower price while allowing the other person to make a larger profit. Alternatively, you can get all you need from the market at the standard price. Don't forget that you can always trade with [Tree Fellers](/commoner/fame/tree-feller) for wood if you want to save a couple of buckles! Generally, the product armorsmiths make is specific to people who engage in combat or generally expect trouble coming their way. Most people won't have a need for armor. This means that armorsmiths will probably mostly deal with members of the Watch, nobility, and very wealthy members of society. Whether they have PC customers or not doesn't stop them from earning money by selling their wares directly to the market. # Weaponsmith ⚔️ A page detailing the Weaponsmith role within Medieval Discord and their forge command. ## Description: Weaponsmiths are skilled artisans who specialize in creating weapons such as blades, polearms, and bludgeons. The weaponsmith's workshop, known as a shivy, is equipped with specialized tools such as a hammer, anvil, and forge. To create a weapon, the weaponsmith heats metal in the forge until it is malleable enough to shape. The weaponsmith then uses techniques such as hammering, grinding, and polishing to shape the metal into a specific weapon. The weaponsmith is also responsible for sharpening and hardening the weapon to make it suitable for use in battle. Weaponsmiths are highly valued members of society, as their creations are critical to the defense and success of armies and individuals. Their wares are sold to most people in Rosewood who need some sort of protection. ## Mechanics: {% code title="#workshop" %} ```javascript r!forge ``` {% endcode %} Just like every other smith, the Weaponsmith uses the `forge` command in order to turn simple materials into complex products which can then be used in trading or selling in the Market. Using this command will open up a dropdown menu wherein you can choose what you want to make. **All smiths can use their personal** [**storage**](/items/inventory#storage) **in addition to their inventories when using the `forge` command!** #### Recipes: | **Item** | Ingredients | Level Requirement | | ------------------ | ----------------------- | ----------------- | | **Arming Sword** | *3 Steel Bars + 1 Wood* | Novice | | **Dagger** | *1 Steel Bar + 1 Wood* | Novice | | **Mace** | *1 Iron Bar + 1 Wood* | Novice | | **Spear** | *1 Iron Bar + 2 Wood* | Novice | | **Falchion Sword** | *2 Steel Bars + 1 Wood* | Apprentice | | **Pike** | *1 Iron Bar + 3 Wood* | Apprentice | | **Longsword** | *5 Steel Bars + 1 Wood* | Adept | | **Lance** | *2 Steel Bars + 3 Wood* | Adept | | **Halberd** | *3 Steel Bars + 3 Wood* | Master | | **War Hammer** | *3 Steel Bars + 2 Wood* | Master | | **Dane Axe** | *2 Steel Bars + 2 Wood* | Grandmaster | * **Necessary tool:** Hammer * **Location:** Primary slot * **Durability cost:** `5` * **Minimum Stamina:** `50%` * **Raw Stamina Cost:** `15` * **XP Reward:** `3` * **XP Reward Cooldown:** `24h` * **XP Reward While on Cooldown:** *30% chance at 1XP per `forge`* ## Relationship with the Market and other Users: Weaponsmiths need refined materials like steel and iron bars to make their weapons. They should acquire these by speaking to and trading with [Blacksmiths](/commoner/fame/blacksmith) who make these bars directly. Additionally, they should get their wood from [Tree Fellers](/commoner/fame/tree-feller) if they want to save a couple of buckles. They, of course, always have the option of buying directly from the market, but they will have to pay the standard price. Weapons, compared to armor and jewelry, are more affordable, meaning more people will be buying them. It's for this reason that blacksmiths and weaponsmiths should expect to have the most interactions with other characters. This is good since it means that you will be earning more and your customers will be paying less. # Tailor 🧵 A page detailing the Tailor role within Medieval Discord and their Tailor command. ## Description: Tailors specialize in creating and altering clothing. The tailor's workshop is equipped with special tools such as scissors, needles, and thread, as well as various fabrics such as wool, silk, and linen. To create a garment, the tailor takes measurements of the client and creates a pattern before cutting the fabric and sewing the pieces together. Tailors are also responsible for decorating and embellishing garments with embroidery, appliques, and other details. They can become very popular depending on who they work for in the Capital. It is every tailor's dream to work for the nobility. ## Mechanics: {% code title="#workshops" %} ```javascript r!tailor ``` {% endcode %} The `tailor` command is used by the Tailor in order to craft clothing from simpler ingredients. Using this command will open up a dropdown menu wherein you can choose what you want to make. #### Recipes: | **Item** | Ingredients | | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | **Rosewood Style** | *2 Linen + 1 Wool + 1 Tanned Leather + 1 Hemp* | | **Highborn Clothes** | *1 Silk + 6 Linen + 2 Fur* | | **Winter Clothes** | *3 Wool + 3 Hemp + 2 Fur + 1 Linen* | * **Necessary tool:** None * **Minimum Stamina:** `60%` * **Raw Stamina Cost:** `10` * **XP Reward:** `3` * **XP Reward Cooldown:** `24h` * **XP Reward While on Cooldown:** *30% chance at 1XP per `tailor`*
REGULAR CLOTHES CONCEPT ART
 *Men's clothing consists of undergarments like a beige linen shirt and a pair of braies. For the legwear, the regular man will wear hosen. Usually, a long tunic is worn over, and sometimes a cyclas as well, alongside a belt. Their heads are usually covered by a hood (a rectangular piece of hemp with a seam that goes under the chin). Depending on the temperature, some men will opt to wear shorter tunics or shorter hosen (stockings), sometimes even leggings. Women's clothing consists of a tight wool calf-length or ankle-length kirtle which had a sideless surcoat over it, finalized with hosen under it. Women wear linen chemises under their garments. The hair is usually covered with a coif or a veil. The most common colors are yellow, orange, scarlet, brown, blue, and green.*ROSEWOOD STYLE CONCEPT ART
 *The men of Rosewood are distinguishable by their insistence on wearing stockings paired with knee-length breeches. They are most known for their preference for the hardiecote, a slim-fitting, long-sleeved, thigh-length upper garment made usually from linen, wool, or leather. Both breeches and hardiecotes have cloth, or sometimes wooden, buttons. The women of Rosewood are famed for wearing their stockings, paired with a knee-length kirtle which has sleeves that extend to the forearms but have been cut horizontally to allow the wearer to easily pull them back to the elbows, worn of course over a pair of women's braies. Women's knee-length kirtles are called jucottes in Rosewood. Of course, the jucotte is not warm enough, so most will opt for an overkirtle or a surcoat. However, some women, depending on their modesty and the weather, will opt for wearing bliauts, fancy kirtles with wider sleeves. Both Jucottes and bliauts employ modern curved seams and tight sleeves, as well as a wider neckline, defining Rosewoodian fashion as "on the edge of morality". Shifts have also started to become fashionable; tight-fitting chemises meant to offer more support to the woman's chest and outline her curves. Both the men and women of Rosewood adore wearing cloaks. Men's cloaks are called mantles, while women wear amictaus. The difference being that a mantle cloak may have a cape over just part of the body, allowing for easy access to the sheath, while an amictau is longer and has less cloth around the hood. The people of Rosewood have access to all colors, except for darker shades of red or purple. Their favorite is of course, red.*HIGHBORN CLOTHES CONCEPT ART
 *The highborn and affluent men living in Rosewood, just like the women, wear a fine linen chemise as their undergarments. Some men will also wear braies. Men wear fine linen or even silk hardiecotes with various embroidered designs, usually in gold. Their hardiecotes differ in their collar length, as they exhibit a much taller collar than the usual Rosewoodian style. Alternatively, men could also wear their jupons, a type of padded clothing meant to decorate armor. On their legs, affluent men wear ketill-trousers which were like very long braies that extended to the ankles but became tight under the knees. If wearing a ketill, men would also wear shorter stockings, that went up to the calves. Women's clothes consist of a bliaut with long sleeves and a long skirt, usually laced at the front or the back. The bliaut is usually slim, but will also require a ceinture, a decorative belt with a chatelaine to signify status. Women would wear chauce, a type of fine-wool hosen with embroidered designs. If the weather is bad, they would wear a pelice; a fur-lined surcoat. Unmarried highborn women usually don't cover their hair, but if they wanted to, they would wear netted coifs and a long silk veil that covered most of their hair. Alternatively, married women almost always covered their hair by doing it up into plaits or intricate braids that were not allowed to fall below the shoulder, as they were held in place by a cercle that rested over their foreheads. Another alternative is the trecheure; a design where the hair is braided (with silk ribbons) into two long braids that fall over the shoulders with a gold cercle meant to hold a silk veil in place. Other alternatives for hair coverings include wimples, kerchiefs, and barbettes. Women's clothes were heavily embroidered and decorated. Both men and women wear the pelerine; a long hooded cloak of fine linen or silk that was lined with warm fur on the inside, closed by one or multiple cords in the middle.*WINTER CLOTHES CONCEPT ART
 *Winter clothing mostly follows the Rosewoodian style of dress, but it places an emphasis on having multiple layers of tunics, and overtunics. These would also be made of woven wool, instead of it being knitted. Everyone would wear a cloak over their clothes, but it would be a hoodless one since during winter most people would wear the chape; a woolen, fur-lined hood that covered the head and fell over the shoulders down to the chest, biceps, and mid-back. Besides this, both men and women would wear woolen caps and woolen mittens. Some would wear woolen sleeves as well. Women mostly also wear woolen or fur schals. Besides the regular linen or hemp hosen, both men and women would wear additional stockings over them, and perhaps even woolen braies as well.*| Name | Value | Market channels | Contents (%chance) |

In their case, farmers are responsible for the input of food and animal-related raw materials into the economy. The tools they need can be bought from the market, but of course, farmers stand to profit more if they trade with [Blacksmiths](/commoner/fame/blacksmith). Characters should rely on farmers for their food-related needs. The materials farmers can provide are best utilized by [Butchers](/commoner/fame/butcher) and [Tailors](/commoner/fame/tailor), especially the former. Farmers can provide butchers with a stable and constant stream of slaughtered animals which the butcher can then further divide into their basic parts. Their relationship is symbiotic and should be exploited as much as possible. However, if there are no characters willing or available for this, farmers can always turn to the market and sell there directly, but they stand to miss out on some extra profit. # Miner ⛏️ A page detailing the Miner role within Medieval Discord and their mine command. ## Description: A Miner is a person who extracts minerals and ores from the earth for use in various crafts. They work in mines or quarries, using tools such as picks, shovels, and hammers to extract minerals such as coal, iron, copper, stone, silver, gold, and others. Miners face many dangers, including cave-ins, flooding, and exposure to harmful chemicals and gases. They often work long hours in difficult and cramped conditions, with low pay and little safety. Despite the challenges, mining is crucial, providing raw materials for metalworking, construction, and other crafts. They work in the Fisher-owned mines outside Rosewood and the nearby quarry. ## Mechanics: {% code title="#mines" %} ```javascript r!mine ``` {% endcode %} The `mine` command is used by the Miner in order to obtain stone and ore from the Rosewood Mines. #### Possible Outcomes:

* **Minimum Stamina:** 50% * **Raw Stamina Cost:** `10` {% hint style="info" %} *These brewable items have no price set on the market. It is up to the Innkeeper to determine the prices and it is up to the Inn Hand making and selling them to charge other characters for them. Always try to consult your Innkeeper for the prices of these items before starting to sell them.* {% endhint %} ## In-depth guide: Inn Hands should spend most of their time serving patrons in the Tavern. They work at the bar and normally fetch drinks for the people there. These drinks can be ordinary ones from the Market, however, most patrons will appreciate being served exclusive food/drinks that are only available through the `brew` mechanic. These beverages are brewed within the Capital, sold exclusively within Taverns, or shipped elsewhere. For most Inn Hands, a good rule of thumb is to keep your head low, listen to the Innkeeper, and keep out of any criminal activity. Making small talk with your regular patrons is an amazing way to get information which can then be sold over the counter for coin or favors. Inn hands are well-known for being a great source of gossip. # Bard 🎶 A page detailing the Bard role within Medieval Discord and their play command. ## Description Bards are the musically gifted citizens of Rosewood who have been hired by the Innkeeper to perform on behalf of Nan Nicole's Tavern. They go around the City and play their songs in key areas to attract listeners, gain money for themselves, and increase the Tavern's reputation. These are people who have been taught how to play an instrument and/or sing. They either had a mentor or they taught themselves. Bards are typically loved by every common person in the Capital. Sometimes nobles might have problems with them, depending on the contents of their songs. ## Mechanics ### Play {% code title="#shops | #main\_square | #great\_hall |#bar |#main\_hall" %} ```javascript r!play ``` {% endcode %} *Your character plays a song and receives some buckles for it. You can use this command with other players when roleplaying and they can give you extra coin for playing songs.* In order to play in the **#bar** text channel, you have to be hired as a **Bard** by the Innkeeper. \ The innkeeper can use the `hire` command on you and you'll be officially hired as the **Tavern's Bard**. \ \ **You don't level up** as a `Bard` but for **every 10xp**, your income for each playing **increases by 1 buckle**.\ This upgrade is **permanent**. * **Income:** * **#great\_hall** | **#bar**: `7-11 buckles` * **#shops | #main\_sqare:** `1-5 buckles` * **Minimum Stamina:** `60%` * **Stamina cost:** `10` * **XP Reward:** `3xp` * **Cooldown:** `24h` * **0-1xp** while on CD {% hint style="success" %} *Playing in the **#bar** text channel grants you **more buckles.*** {% endhint %} ## In-depth guide If you are a bard without an instrument, your priority should be to get something to play music with. Once you're ready to play, the best way to reach popularity is to simply use the command as much as possible. By playing to more people, you might eventually get noticed by nobility and get invited to a feast where you will earn a lot of buckles for playing. Otherwise, playing in the Tavern is always a good option. Staying on everyone's good side is important. If you plan on writing mocking songs, you have to make sure you have a powerful patron who will protect you or you should at least be famous enough to make it difficult for people to target you. Pick and choose your battles carefully. # Scribe ✍️ A page detailing the Scribe role within Medieval Discord and their transcribe and alm commands. ## Description When someone joins the Clergy, they will start out as a Scribe. Scribes will spend their day transcribing and translating certain texts for buckles. Additionally, they are ordered around by the higher ranks in order to accomplish menial tasks. In order to become a Scribe, you will need to talk to the Pastor NPC and request to join *(you also speak to him if you want to leave)*. He is who you talk to in order to rank up within the Clergy. ## Mechanics ### Transcribe {% code title="#cathedral" %} ```javascript r!transcribe ``` {% endcode %} *Used to transcribe/translate texts to or from Latin for coin. Using this command earns you slightly less coin than the basic `work` command due to the `transcribe` command not having an immediate cooldown.* * **Income:** `30-40 coin` * **Minimum stamina:** `50%` * **Stamina cost:** `20` * **Cooldown:** `8h` ### Alm {% code title="#cathedral" %} ```javascript r!alm [amount of buckles] ``` {% endcode %} *Used to trade coins for piety by giving your money to the less fortunate of Rosewood, basically making you seem more pious and charitable.* **Piety gain:** `[amount of buckles] / 5`\ **Piety bonus:** `10% for every 4th of your character's total wealth` {% hint style="info" %} *The Alm command's piety output scales with the amount of buckles sacrificed. However, this also scales with your overall wealth. For every 4th of your wealth given, you receive an additional 10% piety.* {% endhint %} * **25-49%** of your wealth gives you a **10%** increase on piety * **50-74%** of your wealth gives you a **20%** increase on piety * **75-99%** - **30%** piety bonus * **100%** - **40%** piety bonus ## In-depth guide When joining the clergy, everyone starts off as a Scribe. Scribes are the lowest rank within the Clergy and as such have the least duties. When in the Clergy, people are given access to `transcribe` and `alm`, allowing them to work for gold, and for piety, respectively. Piety is what the Clergy uses in order to progress through the ranks, but also as a type of "spiritual currency" expended in order to use some of their exclusive commands. Their work is mostly done within the confines of the Cathedral, where they have a Scriptorium. They command no one and can offer little religious guidance. Scribes are known to form fraternities and sororities while in the lower ranks of the Clergy. These have no official status but are a good way of showcasing interpersonal relationships between low-ranked members. {% hint style="info" %} *Starting with Scribe, and going throughout the rest of the clergy, every man/woman takes oaths of celibacy, poverty, and loyalty to the Church. Breaking any of these can lead to you being tried and punished!* {% endhint %} ## Piety Piety is the "spiritual currency" of the clergy path and is used to progress through the ranks, as well as to use certain commands. Piety can be earned in many different ways (for example `alm`, `preach`, `mass`, etc.) Once you want your character to rank up, and you have enough piety to do so, you should go and speak to the Pastor NPC, where you will be able to spend your piety on a rank-up. It is important to maintain a positive piety balance since your character will lose **10 piety every week**. In the event that your piety hits 0, for any reason, your character will lose their clergy role and will be given the `Monk` role instead, meaning they can't rejoin the clergy ever again. * **Piety (Monday) weekly change:** *`-10`* {% hint style="info" %} *This decay will not apply to your character for 7 days after you make them.* {% endhint %} Additionally, there are certain things that will incur a piety penalty: * Becoming `Pregnant` *(-10.000)* * Using the `pregnant` command or being its target *(-500)* * Becoming `Tipsy`/`Drunk`/`Wasted` *(-100)* * Using the `work` command during a Sunday *(-50)* When joining a clergy route, Scribes will be given the opportunity to spend 50 piety in order to join any route. However, depending on the ratio of members in the clergy, meaning their distribution among the routes, the entry fee may vary from 25 to 75 piety. This means that the least populated route will cost 25 piety to enter, while the most populated one will cost 75. # Preachment Route Like every other Clergy route, the Preachment route relies on its users earning piety to progress. Specifically, Preachment is supposed to spread the word of God to the people of Rosewood. *They have a unique position of holding authority over the people in matters of morality and faith. Some liberties have been taken in terms of historical accuracy in order to provide everyone a meaningful and inclusive RP experience. Nevertheless, the Preachment route is supposed to guide and teach the Christian faithful of Rosewood.* ## Joining the Preachment Route To join the preachment route, you must talk to the **Pastor** NPC in the **#cathedral** and spend the appropriate amount of **Piety** which scales with the amount of currently active players in each route. **Base cost:** `50 piety` {% hint style="info" %} *If there is a lack of players in the Preachment route, the base cost will go down automatically.*\ *The opposite applies if there are too many players in the route, meaning, the price increases.* {% endhint %} ## Preachment Route Ranks {% content-ref url="/pages/-MZiZxCWihe\_oD63tO8C" %} [Deacon 📿](/clergy/preachment/deacon) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/-MZiZzPslFIPl07fsVJZ" %} [Priest 🙏](/clergy/preachment/priest) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/-MZiZz1UM5S3bKQ0UO4W" %} [Archbishop ⛪](/clergy/preachment/archbishop) {% endcontent-ref %} # Deacon 📿 A page detailing the Deacon role within Medieval Discord and their convert and preach commands.
