Mats Quantity = 0 ... still need moire time ?
Focus Gone ... whaddya do w/ extra time but stand there ?

So once you run outa either, you wanna be outta there. Several ways to do that

You can ignore "Heal Source Life" for example once you get to QL (but this has a downside). I work my dig so that time and source life end within a second or 2 of one another, preferable the former.

You can "Two-Step", using a lower Extraction level for the 1st part of your pull, this serves to drive time bar down faster,

There's more but don't wanna go off topic. If it was an optional thing, I think everyone would do it, it can be useful when ya digging 1.9 mats and only get 1 then. But when using Speed and Rate 6, no fun standing around with life or time left but nothing ya can do but stand there (aside from a kill stanza) until time runs out.

So that's why it's best avoided

At this point, I'm really curious what was the intended use for this stanza, if most of the masters would hate it ...

Hopefully one day it will allow us to add a stanza at zero cost, instead of forcing it

This is a good compromise

We used to have self heal too ... and ya could get 50 levels in an hour kicking Yubos :)

When I started few folks did harvevesting, fewer did rites, and my guess is that it wasn't brought to bear until dev team was cut back and otherwise occupied.

If you're going to kill nodes, the extra time doesn't hurt.  It's only when you miss the kill that it's bad.

However, this rite has a little easter egg and it's a goody!  You can dig "pre-popped" nodes (like larvae or flowers) and you get your focus back at the end just as if you had prospected them.  :D

Because this rite is shunned by so many fast diggers, one thing is usually overlooked (or considered less relevant). Once you passed that rite, self-popping nodes will give back your focus like a prospected node. That is convenient in a number of situations, e.g. when digging larvae, pistils etc. Whether or not this tradeoff counts, depends on your digging and occupation techniques. Anyway, once acquired, this "reward" will be permanent.

Special thanks to Antollo for helping with beng!
Special thanks to Chilindrina for helping find ramp.
Special thanks to GoldCrest for helping find NPC
Special thanks fo that guy in lakes begging with E (sorry!) for helping!

the npc for that rite roams, there's another post somewhere showing the other location where i'd found him when i did this rite. (this rite doesn't hurt you if your a kill digger...)

talk

For the Trial of Oflovak there is a step missing. After you do the Prerequisite missions you need to talk to the barman Lydix Deps and accept the mission. You will then be sent to the Water Breaker Chief.

loved, i'd found the npc on the northern shore of blackwater area if i recall correctly, not sure what season it was, but the npc for that rite is in a different spot, i know of at least 3 locations now with the addition of your location where you found him, thanks for adding to the cookies guides and what not, always nice when players can find helpful info on the forums, keeps them in game more :)

Here's an update for the Fyros Story 2 (durability rite).

First off, the materials amounts are different from the list in the first post. This is probably due to the missions overhaul done during patch 3.5.0, aka JY 2603 patch. They now may more, but also ask for more items.

So anyway, here is the updated BOM (bill of materials):

• 8 MA MQ (Rilonus) pants + 8 MA MQ (Rilonus) vests

• 40 LA MQ (Hobenus) vests

• 56 LA MQ (Hobenus) sleeves:

• 1 MA MQ (Rilonus) vest + 1 MA MQ (Rilonus) pants
  

(here the amounts are the same as previously, but the timer has been lengthened from 1 minute to 16)



Miscellaneous:

After completing the 4 prerequisite missions, you start the rite by talking to the barman in Pyr, and only after you are sent to the Water Breakers chief.

The actual rite only starts at (mid?)night, as hinted by the last item in the text:


So, go to Northlake Farm, and wait until it's 12am. Then and only then will the NPC talk to you. You may have to enter/exit the Farm several times to trigger his dialogue, this is an old problem.

The other two NPCs that you visit will trigger easily.

Finally, here is a durability comparison on items made with fine generic materials. Top is prior to rite, bottom is after the rite:

hmmmm.... need to add the adopt a zig rite and the new swimming rite as well... that's really just a screen shot of where to go/who to talk to to start it (a picture of the little window that everyone should look for when all you have is the 'map' in your toons in screen hand.... from there it's fairly easy)

laoviel, wonderfully made with clear IG shots of the windows in question.

Adopt a Zig

Total cost: 77 Elyps (7 for plushie, 70 for the Zig)
Time to complete: approximately one hour.

Your map will show for each of the 4 continents a location relevant to the rite:

Feeding:
Find a suvue on the Witherings map and target it.
When ready, click here to launch the ritual task.

Go to the Jungle, near Zora, above Still Waters, as indicated on the map.
Target the suvue, then on the icon "Feeding” on the lower right corner and the text appears:
“You take a suvue leaf and make your gubani plush eat. Sure, it's only a stuffed animal... but it seems to like it. Really! “
Click on “OK”.

In the encyclopedia, it shows “You have completed a ritual task”: ¼

Exercising:
Find the "Flame of honor” on the Burning Desert map and target it.

The 3rd target is back to the flame, where the text appears:
“What a pleasure to see you both frolicking in the hot desert sawdust.
Look how happy the guibani plush is, he's happy to have run into mommy's arms.”

It can take a while to be successful. I first had it targeted, then it disappeared. And it took quite a while before I could target it again.
Perhaps you can only target during the night, or certain weather conditions?

Your target will indicate “Fertilizer”.
Click on the “Draining” icon on the lower right corner and the text appears:

“Well... we won't dwell on it...
However, the ecological gesture is appreciated, and then... the florists are happy too. All is right!"
Click on “Ok".

In the encyclopedia, it shows “You have completed a ritual task”: 4/4

Click on the last remaining step on the encyclopedia.
A mission (as well as a compass target and flag on your map) will be added to your journal:
Talk to O’Ronin Dalin.

Return to the Jungle, at the border of Void & Maiden Grove, at the Shadow Runners camp.
Target O’Ronin Dalin, and click on "Hello".
O’Ronin Dalin says:
“Oh Bravo!
I can see that you have done very well. You will undoubtedly be among the best parents for your future zig.
I am giving you access to adoption now!”
Click on “Ok".

Click on the last item on the encyclopedia. The following text appears:
"You obtain:
Unlock “Adopt a Zig” option from The Shadow Runners stable boy.
