1.I know that awhile back the various recall histories, evokes, etc were taken out per GM announcement. Is there an expected time frame or goal that was put in place for their return? Just that I'm trying to push for 100th circle and although I can learn scholarship by teaching, I'd rather learn it in a more "bardly" way if possible, and more independently of my other characters.

2.Question in regard to whistle piercing. When I use this in my musical practice sessions I have no problem learning Bardic Lore. However, when I've incorporated it into combat I am often messaged that I am too "parched" to whistle again. Would carrying a drink and actually drinking during combat actually help in this scenario, or does the timer ever reduce based on skill? <right now I'm at 241 BL, and use it on the next critter right after each kill>.

> histories, evokes, etc

FYI, evokes teach BL, not scholarship.

I don't know anything about them coming back. In fact, I didn't even realize they were gone until you mentioned it (but they are; I checked).

> whistle piercing

I don't believe a drink helps. For me, the timer is approximately 2 minutes (there seems to be a little randomness), and I don't believe that changes based on skill.

The evokes should all be there (Though I've heard reports of one or two that have gone missing I need to track down).

Recalls are what hasn't been updated since they needed significant rewriting plus mechanical conversion and there's a lot of them. Frankly, I've been too swamped to get to them - which I apologize for, I hate leaving things in a half finished state, and Recall has been a glaring example of just that. Most of them have been rewritten by another GM but the mechanical updates need to still happen.

Ugh. I was afraid of that. I'll add an audit of them to the list (Or more, readd it). It shouldn't take too long since there aren't too many - though I'd like to know what ate them.

Is it missing in all instances? Does anyone know of any others that are missing?

evokes seem to all be missing plat-side. at least the ones listed for crossing on elanthipedia. And I had full bard mojo going as far as I can tell, after a music practicing session.

Are the new Evokes in the same places the old Recalls were?

The one for Siryn, S'zella, Gulf Lane, (er, I'd have to go find an old list for the rest in the Crossing): I've looked for those as recently as about 3 or 4 months ago, and none had come back. The one out in s'lai is there, though.
