This test is designed to be a competitive test. The idea is to have multiple people who are not in a group looking for the spirit of Khonsu at the same time.

===The Test Mechanics===
 +
The spirit of Khonsu arrives in Egypt at 6PM and departs at 6AM. Players build ceremonial bonfires at Humble priest altar locations (within 20 coords) while Khonsu is in Egypt. One Ceremonial bonfire per player per game night. Maximum of 2 Ceremonial bonfires per Humble Priest altar. Visually a Ceremonial Bonfire looks the same as a regular 25 wood bonfire. At any time during the night players may add as many herb types as desired. Maximum of 3 deben per herb is permitted. Prior to passing the test, a player cannot build a Ceremonial Bonfire outside the 20 coord radius of a Humble Priest altar and cannot light a Ceremonial Bonfire.

===The Herbs===
 +
The herbs hold a balance of sweetness which has been known to attract both insects and the spirit of Khonsu. For this reason, it is imperative for Egyptians to know the herbs and the manner in which each interacts with each other. Failure to understand the quality of herb added to a bonfire may cost an Egyptian the favor of Khonsu. Herb characteristics can be obtained by smoking the herb in a hookah.

===The Test===
+
===Scoring===
−
Each player would be required to mine from any type of mine one of the seven gem types in all sizes in each Egypt Month. Gems must be mined in the month the list was acquired. Gems mined prior to obtaining a list will not count toward passing the test. Failing to complete the list will cause the player to restart the list by visiting a University of the Human Body. Upon turning in the gems at University of the Human Body with all gems of the requested gem type in the players inventory, players will receive one of two flyaway messages:
+
At 6AM Khonsu lights all bonfires (including regular bonfires) with 20 coords of all Humble Priest altar and tallies the score. The scoring is a follows: for every "positive" attribute (example: scent of lavender) 2 points are awarded. For every "negative" attribute (example: Taste of Camel dung) 1 point is deducted. The top 3 players with the highest score advances.
−
*The scientists thank you for the gems. (This message is for the first 7)
 
−
*The scientists have all the gems they need.
 
−
Players who fail to complete the gem type will keep the gems. The first 7 to complete a list and return to a University of the Human Body (gems are removed from inventory) each month progresses to the next gem type. Successfully completed gem type will not be repeated.
 
−
<br>
 
−
Example of the proposed gem amounts to find is as follows:
 
−
*14 Huge (Gem Type)
 
−
*21 Large (Gem Type)
 
−
*49 Medium (Gem Type)
 
−
*128 Small (Gem Type)
 
−
All gems must be mined by the player attempting to pass the test (similar to Oyster Catcher). The player who breaks the node or removes the gem from a water mine is the player who has mined the gem. Existing uses for the gems would not be effected by this test.<br>
 
−
Example: Players would still be able to use gems found by others to perform a wedding, buy skills, etc.<br>
 
−
Players would get a random gem type to locate at the University of the Human Body in the same manner players get a list for Fisherman, Darkest Night and Ritual Tattoo.<br>
 
−
Only 1 gem type per month is permitted. Both advancing players and players who failed to advance must get a new gem type each month.

===Passing the Test===

===Ceremonial Bonfires===
−
To pass the test, players advance 7 times. At the end of 7 advances, the player will have mined all 7 gem types. The challenge can be repeated 7 times. Attribute can be selected multiple times.
+
Ceremonial Bonfires resemble a regular 25 wood bonfire and are built through the test menu. The ceremonial bonfire will burn like normal 25 wood bonfires but won't produce charcoal until the player has passed the test. The cost to build a Ceremonial Bonfires is:
−
*Example: If a player chose Speed each pass, that player would have 49 speed but would not be able to compete further in the challenge.
+
*10 wood
 +
*50 royal jelly
 +
*2 insects
 +
After the Ceremonial Bonfires are built. Players may add herbs to the bonfire to increase (or decrease) the attention of the spirit of Khonsu.

Unlike other Human Body tests, the players would have a choice at the start of the test of which attribute he/she wanted to improve. The player could select 1 of each (randomly awarded upon completion on each list) or all of the same attributes:
+
Players may build and light a Ceremonial Bonfire after passing the test. Burning a Ceremonial Bonfire will give the player insects equal to the number of permanent perception plus three. Permanent perception points can be obtained from any source. After the Ceremonial bonfire has burnt, it will leave behind a pail of charcoal. The player has the option of taking the charcoal or taking the insects. The type of insects attracted will be dependent on the terrain in the immediate area. Ceremonial bonfires built in areas without flora will attract ground dwelling insects. Ceremonial bonfires built near water will attract water dwelling insects. The priority of insects attracted is:
−
*Strength
+
*Herb
−
*Dexterity
+
*Crop
−
*Endurance
+
*Livestock
−
*Speed
+
*Thorn
−
*Constitution

*Focus

*Water
−
*Perception

*Ground

Passing the test would give a temporary boost to the natural stat(s) selected at the start of the test. The boost would last 2 minutes with a 15 minute cool down. The bonus would be 1/2 of the permanent stat rounded down.<br>
+
Players will receive 1 perception point per advance. Herbs or herb combinations with a 2:1 positive to negative ration attract twice as many insects as other bonfires.
−
Example: If the stat to be modified was 7. The bonus would be 3 (7 divided by 2 is 3.5 and 3.5 rounded down would be 3).
 
−
*Stat boost calculations would ignore temporary modification caused by food, herbs, etc.

*Players are prohibited from using gem glue or gem tables to alter the size of the gems in order to pass the test. The gems must be mined from any type of mine: sand mines, water mines, or ore mines.

  • 7 Common Herb Dwelling Insects (to be identified by Pharaoh)
  • 7 Common Livestock Dwelling Insects (to be identified by Pharaoh)
  • 7 Common Crop Dwelling Insects (to be identified by Pharaoh)
  • 10 wood
  • 10 candles
  • 10 royal jelly
