Created page with "A few questions: *Do the ghost obelisks appear at every monument, 3 times per month, or is only one monument chosen at a time? If it is only one monument, it would be very diffi..."

New page

A few questions:
*Do the ghost obelisks appear at every monument, 3 times per month, or is only one monument chosen at a time? If it is only one monument, it would be very difficult to find the ghost obelisks since there are many many monuments and in very distant locations. If they appear at every monument 3 times per month, I would do a quick calculation to see what % of RL time the obelisks are present (it seems like 72 rl hours per in-game month) so you can predict the chance of you finding a ghost obelisk if you head out to a monument. The chance needs to be high enough that players don't get frustrated and give up, but not so high that you would find one every time.

-''For every discipline, 3 times per month would appear.  This would not scale by the number of Tales run, so one game month it may appear close to the T1 Arch monument, the next game month by the T3 Arch monument etc.''
-''So each game month, the ghost obelisks would appear 21 (24 if conflict?) times total.  Is this too rare?  Maybe they should only appear somewhere around the nearest past tale completed monument, otherwise by Tale 20 it would get very hard.  So if the last successful Arch build was in T4, 3 times per game month the Arch ghost obelisks are guaranteed to be somewhere around that spot?''
+''Originally intended for every monument of every discipline ever built for 3 times a game month for it to appear in the area.  So for example if there were a total of 4 arch monuments built over the tales, then total 12 arch appearances in the game for that game month (3 times each near each past arch monument site).   ''

This way, you could still do it alone but it would be hard: you would be better off getting two others to help you.
