RESTRICTION: Level 25+

The Story So Far...

   As of November 2002, you can (finally) unspecialize, untrain, or specialize skills!!!  This is the quest to do so.  Follow the route to the Temple of Enlightenment to Specialize a skill, or the Forgetfulness temple to unspecialize or untrain a skill.

UPDATE: As of Febrary 2003, you can also raise and lower your starting attributes!  The quest is the same with these exceptions:

• Lowering Gems are located in the Temple of Forgetfulness (Lowers attribute by 10)

• Raising Gems are located in the Temple of Enlightenment (Raises attribute by 10)

• Raise and Lower Gem must be combined to use

• Timer is two weeks.

Step 0: Preparation

• Have at least one of the below herbs on you, as you will need to give one to a giant Empyrean-style head.

• Some decent protects - Copper, Iron, and Obsidian golems inside the 1st section

Step 1: Getting There

   Temple of Enlightenment:

1. Take Arwic Mines (Subway) to Q'alabar (34.9n, 54.5e)

2. Take Land Bridge Villas Portal (74.9s, 17.9e)

3. Run to the Temple of Enlightenment (84.5s, 0e)

   Temple of Forgetfulness: 

1. Take Arwic Mines (Subway) to Cragstone (34.9n, 54.5e)

2. Take Far Horizons Cottages Portal (26.1n, 46.3e)

3. Run to the Temple of Forgetfulness (88.8n, 0e)

Step 2: Remember your Herbs

  Once at the coords, double-click on the talking head, and it will ask you for an essence.  Give it the herb that corresponds to the correct word of power, as shown in the table below:  (Note: Every time you click on the head, it will ask you for a different word of power, so you could just bring one of the herbs below and you will eventually be asked for it.)

Herb		Word of Power
	Almaranth	Not Used
	Comfrey	Shurov
	Damiana	Feazh
	Dragonsblood	Quavosh
	Eyebright	Volae
	Frankincense	Not Used
	Ginseng	Cruath
	Hawthorne	Volae
	Henbane	Not Used
	Hyssop	Malar
	Mandrake	Equin
	Mugwort	Boquar
	Myrhh	??
	Saffron	Puish
	Vervain	Tugak
	Wormwood	??
	Yarrow	Roiga

Step 3: Down and to the Left

   Once inside the dungeon, simply head left and down all the way.  There are a couple of copper, iron, and obsidian golems on the way.  Once you get all the way down, enter the Inner Sanctum Portal.

Step 4: Choose Wisely

  Ok, now you are here.  In each corner room of this area are a bunch of those Empyrean statues and a gem is floating at each one's head.  Now, be careful, because the three week quest timer is on picking up the gems, so don't pick up what you don't want.  A couple of note here:

• Quest Timer - 3 Weeks from the point of picking up the gem.

• "Untraining" a racial skill will only refund xp spent, not any skill credits

• You can only specialize a total of 64 points worth of skills.

• Here is a table of how much each skill costs and whether it even can be specialized (tinkering skills CANNOT be specialized):
