The Test Of Festivals > Festival Of Thoth

Thoth

merge of T1 info: unconfirmed

The Festival of Thoth requires an altar surrounded by 21 scampering beetles, and a sacrifice of an ambrosia made from a specific (12 percent alcohol, 2 vintage old) wine and ink.

Preparations

Try the Wine Inventory to find a supplier for your wine and any beetle breeder for ample spares.

Dropped beetles disappear in roughly 3-4 minutes. Since it can take a minute or two just to pick them all up, it would be wise not to drop any you're afraid to lose. Keep a few extras on hand as well.

QUESTION - For harvesting carrots is useful to "nail" the beetles (they stay for an hour without moving) overweighting and dropping the beetle when asked to drop something. Why this system doesn't work here? -Sabuli

Well, they're not scampering, are they? -Sedelyan

For humor value after the festival, turn the beetles into bags (self->utility->make nearby portables look like bags). They still behave as normal beetles; only the way the client renders them changes.

Procedure

1. Drop 21 beetles by the altar.
2. Click on the altar and sacrifice your ambrosia before the beetles disappear.
3. Pick up the beetles for next time (or let them escape if you have lots spare).
