Standing stones

Post by MasterRokon »

Pretty much there are 13 standing stones each one is related to one of the birthsigns, but do these have the same effects of the birthsigns, do they remain activated forever, or do they have a time limit like welkyeid wells? Im not asking as though you guys should know, but rather i wanna here your speculations.

Note: sorry if this counts as spam or something, so mods feel free to lock.

The standing stones are like Birthsigns, they convey their benefit indefinitely until you choose a different one. So if they give an ability, it will be active until you choose another, and if they give a power, you can use it until you choose another.

They basically replace birthsigns, you will find the 3 basic ones, mage warrior and thief right after the tutorial, they aren't permanent or timed as far as I know, they are just birthsigns but now changable and more immersive. You also won't be able to instantly get some OP one, I am guessing the ones you find later on will be more powerful.

Some will have similar effects as before. I believe there is one that allows you to become invisible once a day.

However, most are at least somewhat different, and some are totally new.

The 3 we know the most about are The Warrior, The Mage and The Thief, which all make their corresponding skills 30% faster to level up.

I've seen different videos which I remember have said different things. The first few I remember 30%, however there is one I have open right now, I've watched it a few times now and have it paused, which clearly says 20% faster for the Warrior. May be due to different stags of development, the pre-Alpha build may have been altered?
