Resources > Crystal Heiroglyph

Crystal Heiroglyphs are acquired by registering for The Test of Octec's Ghost at a University of Architecture.

You may receive up to 12 crystals, all of the same type.

When you sign up for the test, the University grants you 2 crystals.

Thereafter, you may request up to 5 more pairs from a school of Architecture. You may ask for the first pair immediately, but must thereafter wait 24 hours before the school will grant you the next pair. (The school will tell you how long you have to wait.)

There are 20 different types of heiroglyph:

Amen Ra	Anubis	Bastet	Bes	Buto
Dua	Hapy	Hathor	Horus	Isis
Maat	Min	Montu	Osiris	Set
Shu	Sobek	Taweret	Thoth	Wepawet

Crystal Heiroglyphs are used by installing them in a Statue of Octec's Ghost. Installing 1 each of all 20 heiroglyphs activates the statue and passes the test for the builder of the statue.

In Tale 1, there was an additional reward for installing a second set of 20 (40 total, 2 of each). This is being investigated for this telling.

Questions

• Are some crystals considered rares than others?
  • When Teppy was asked this question, he did not give an answer but invited us to make our own observations.
  • Even if the distribution is equal for all crystal types, perceptions of rarity can affect the availability of some types of crystals, because people tend to hoard or hold on to crystals considered to be "rarer" or "more valuable". So it is possible that shortages of certain types are unintentionally created by players.
