 Choose a date/time when your group can be all together in your chosen location for several hours without having to worry about someone needing to leave. Best case scenario, don't expect a group new to the test to take less than two hours, and expect that it could easily take double that. I don't know if a ritual will ever expire, but you will be unable to use travel time/spousewarp until you've baked your bread, so it's easiest to get it done in one day if possible.

+==Introduction==
 The Test of The Leavened Bread is one in which a group of five people produces holy bread and shares it with specific types of other (usually rather new) players called Benefactors. During the ritual, the group learns which god they're celebrating and what sort of players they must feed their bread to - could be recently paid accounts or recent Initiates of Thought, for example. A point is awarded to the group for each person of the specified type who eats a loaf of the group's bread. Each week, the seven characters with the highest score pass the test. Unlike pilgrimage, you can dissolve and reform groups without losing points.

 You will need to have wheat from all three seasons (Akhet, Peret, Shemu) on hand or be ready to trade for it before you start the second part of the ritual. You won't know which season's wheat you need until after you've done the first part.
 The wheat must be raw (undried).

 You may bake as many loaves as you want at once, but you can only load the mortar up and bake once during the ritual. One mortar will hold as many loaves as you want to make.
 Only one strain of wheat may be added to the mortar. If your ritual tells you to use Shemu wheat and you choose to use the Druze strain, the wheat you use must all be Shemu Druze.

 This barrel will be partially consumed by the group at the start of the ritual. It can be any flavor/potency/etc. so long as it's good when the time comes to drink it. Spoiled beer probably will not work. You will need another barrel of beer - this time of a specific kind - during the ritual...see below.
 You can probably use a beer that's already out, presumably as long as it hasn't spoiled (and there are at least 5 glasses left). We failed on our first ritual attempt after drinking the beer (at the emotes/blessing part), dissolved the ritual, restarted, and used the same beer for our second attempt. It worked. --Numaris

+===Familiarize yourself with making beer, or find a beermaker willing to work for your group the day of your ritual.===
 During the ritual, you will have to make or trade for a single barrel of beer of a type to be named when your group has its visions. This second beer can include the new wheat beer flavors. If you plan to make the beer yourself, make sure you've got access to a good yeast map and are also familiar with making these wheat beers. The whole barrel of beer will be used up when you make the bread, but one barrel will make as many loaves as you want.

Send your runner to go make it/pick it up. ;)

 Part II done! At this point you can safely use any form of navigation and talk in Main again.
 We started at 30 wood and our player #1 only copied the main blessing and tried to type each persons name in. This took too much time and we did not finish before the bread was ready. We had to start the ritual over from step one because of the error. We also had to start over because of a misspelling of a name. The blessings are so important you need to make sure you have someone who can copy and paste quickly. ~HarvestStar

 If all has gone well, each player will receive a vision (a popup) giving information about things the group will need to do. Do not lose this information! Copy this information and share it with your group. If you have a requirement you can not meet, dissolve the ritual (via the Tests menu), wait two Teppyhours (unconfirmed that you actually need to wait), and try again from scratch. If your group did something wrong and did not receive these popups, you can dissolve the ritual and restart immediately. Your visions will turn out something like this:
