Can the scholarship teaching from origami be up'ed just a little? Or atleast investigated in comparison to its mech teaching? There are few good, non guild ways, to learn scholarship. Rather than go through 10+ papers to lock scholarship (while only 2 lock my mech lore, which is 30 ranks higher) I was wondering if scholarship might be taught at more steps durring the process (so instead of on the first fold and last fold, the first fold, last fold, and at the 25/50/75 finished marks).

It may be an outlandish request, but I would appreciate its investigation.

Try this, Constatine.

Do the first folds on however many it takes to lock, or at least move, your scholarship, and as you do each one, put it in a seperate container, then once you get it up there, go back and do the remaining folds to move your mech.

Hell, for the relatively low cost of envelopes, it might be worth it just to do the first fold for scholarship, then the second fold for mech, and toss the paper away, just to get the skills moving.

It's going to be difficult to keep scholarship moving when it only takes one study to get the first fold, but it takes several folds to make the end item.

Way off topic here, but I'd just like to say, Bre, I like your tag.

I'd like to ask, are the Leth envelopes going to stay as they are? Cause I like the particolored paper.

I realize the fire and forget method for learning scholarship, I just hope some investigation would make the teaching closer per paper though. Is that a bit too outlandish for a request though?

I have sub 100 shcolarship and 300+ mech. I would like the scholarship requirement removed so I can learn mech at the 300+ level from origami.

Thanks,

Yikes, my scholarship/mech are only 40 ranks off. Im just sad theres no other way to train it beyond sitting down at the library or going through 10+ papers rapidly.

200 rank difference..your on your own.

Bleh, looking for an anti social method of learning scholarship is all. *shakes his fist*. Patterns dont do much of anything, and im not of XYZ guilds with great guild only measures of learning scholarship either (despite sharing the same lore ranking as most of em).

This is the origami folder though isnt it? Could however is in control provide insight on it, or atleast investigate it.

If you want I will fold hundreds of papers for you at whatever pattern you want, Currently Im in Aesry if you wana contact me. Im not learning mech especially well from folding vultures so Im trying to concentrate on learning scholarship.

Heh, same here. If anyone wants to supply the envelopes, I'll do the first fold on hundreds of whatever you want. That's what I'm doing now anyways, except I'm throwing away all the papers after the first fold. The rest of the folds aren't even worth my time, they teach so little mech lore.

SWEET! Thank you both. I am in crossings just now. Since I have not been able to learn mech through them, I am not sure what pattern is best. What teaches best at 316? Oh and I will pay a premium for first folded origami. 200 fist folds for 10 plats. That seem fair? If not name a price. And only 200 cause I have to keep below 500 items.

gasp! IT can't be! A way for a lore-primary guild to make coin from their primary skill set!

>>Bleh, looking for an anti social method of learning scholarship is all. *shakes his fist*. Patterns dont do much of anything,



Scholarship: 162 17% clear
Scholarship: 162 18% muddled

While I agree patterns don't teach anywhere near as well as origami teaches mech, Patterns are a much cheaper alternative to spellbooks and they do work fairly well. You may have much more scholarship then me so this may be pointless for you, but I usually keep my scholarship muddled or perplexed the entire time I hunt, just a sword in one hand, and a pattern in the other, I just study the pattern once every 65-70 seconds (the timer is 60 seconds for you to forget the first study). I don't use the method of repeatedly studying back to back 5 or 6 times until I've memorized the pattern, I don't find I learn well that way, just study once and wait until you forget it, then repeat. It's a slow process, but usually by the time I've mindlocked all my combats I'm at least perplexed in scholarship, and it's easy to maintain once it gets up there.

Also if you are just sitting around listening to a class, using a pattern at the same time you should see a noticable increase in how fast you fill your pool. This is usually the only way I can get to mind locked using patterns.

And as far as learning more scholarship from origami, how about limiting the number of folds you can do per study so you would have to study more then once per piece of paper:

study my silverfish instructions -> You study the instructions and do your first fold
fold my paper -> You continue to fold . . .
fold my paper -> You continue to fold . . .
fold my paper -> You continue to fold . . .
fold my paper -> You are unsure of where the next fold should be
study my silverfish instructions -> You study the instructions working on the next folds
fold my paper -> You continue to fold . . .
fold my paper -> You continue to fold . . .
fold my paper -> You continue to fold . . .
fold my paper -> You are unsure of where the next fold should be
study my silverfish instructions -> You study the instructions working on the next folds
fold my paper -> You continue to fold . . .
fold my paper -> You continue to fold . . .
fold my paper -> You complete the final fold . . .


so instead of studying once and memorizing all the folds at once, you have to break it up to just memorizing a few folds at a time.
