University Text

Design a Venery, a treasure hunt around your home, throughout your neighborhood, or across Egypt. A good Venery can teach runners about local sites, and is neither too easy nor too difficult. After completing your design, if you wish to turn off the Venery menu on objects, turn off the option in 'Interface Options' under 'Show menu items for venery configureation'. This option was added when you started the Test of the Venery.

Passing Principles

  • Open a Venery (Venery Gathering Point and Lockboxes)and tear it down OR
  • Have seven Judges run and rate your Venery Good or better OR
  • Complete three recent winning Venerys

Complete and collect 3x Venery Certificates. Show them to any School of Thought. (Note - last step does not seem to be necessary. I leveled up at Venery Gathering Point after getting third Venery Certificate - Estaar)

Creating a Venery

What you need

For Simple Lockboxes Made in the Student or Master Forges

This will give you 7 Simple Lockboxes.

For Venery Gathering Point

Built in a Small Construction Site.

Installing Lockboxes

You need to select 'Configure This Venery' at the Venery gathering point before you start installing lockboxes. Then you can install keys and lockboxes anywhere you like.

Note - make sure that Options > Interface> Tests > "show menu items for venery configuration" is checked, or you will not get the option to install the Locboxes! - Minerva

Creating Clues

  • A venery should be fun to do. Many Egyptians get frustrated with the very hard ones and will tend to quit the venery.
  • Make sure your clues are precise and not too hard to decipher.
  • Always keep in mind that people will be voting on this so if you want to pass it needs to be finely balanced between easy and hard.
  • Some people in previous tales built chests and placed rewards in them for others to collect. However you do it is up to you.
  • Some people will also have an answer sheet attached to their wiki page.
  • Remember Just Have Fun.
