Beginning the Test of Mentorship provides the player with a new chat channel (Immigrants) that announces the characters entering Egypt and their entry point (anyone may enable this chat tab in the options:chat menu). As a mentor, you should guide the new players in getting their citizenship and helping them settle in Egypt. Ideally, the mentee/mentor relationship should continue long past this point. There is a mentoring guide also for those looking at trying this frustrating test.
Once the mentee has 24hrs of online time and a paid account, they have the option to build a single mentor shrine. A mentor shrine takes 4 boards, 12 bricks, and 8 slate to build. The mentee may give their shrine to anyone they wish or retain it until later. Registering a mentor and building a shrine notifies the mentor with a popup if they're online.
The mentor must visit the shrine and meditate on it to claim it. Every claimed shrine gives the mentor one mentor shrine point; once they have 7 points, they pass the Test of Mentorship. A mentor may determine how many shrines they have by meditating on a mentor shrine they've already claimed (they get a message like "You have visited 5 of 5 shrine(s) built in your honor").
With the changes to citizenship and the welcome island, have come some new navigation tools for mentors on the welcome islands. These are documented at Keyboard Commands and include a limited means of teleportation for mentors.
A great guide to mentoring has been created by Deeva and can be found here.
By visiting a School of Leadership, a mentor may spend mentor points to purchase various bonuses as follows:
Has anyone achieved a dinner with Pharoah? (or plan to achieve one?) --ShanVizen
Few months ago i had a /tell chat with Pharaoh, he said noone had applied then. ---Zatarg---
I thought about it, but started giving shrines away to guildies who supported the mentorship gig.
