Description

The reason to make a Pishite priest. This ritual will restore your target to life, after your brief friendly chat with Death. Not only will this ritual bring your target back to life, but will restore his stats to full, and depending on the users fa.ri.cu.ta bonus will bring back a percentage of your exp! Priests will also receive a small amount of the rituals back, but not the useful ones (like divine hand to get back to your temple). You cannot perform this on yourself, just in case you got your hopes up.

Towards the end of the ritual, there is a line that indicates the success of the ritual in returning xp. In increasing order, these are

  • Flickering traces of your vision remain with you as a cautionary example.
  • A few traces of your vision remain with you as a cautionary example.
  • A few flashes of your vision remain with you as a cautionary example.
  • A few scenes from your vision remain with you as a cautionary example.
  • All of the important moments from your vision remain with you as a cautionary example.

Successfully performing resurrect has a small effect on your alignment, moving you towards as good as you can get.

You recite the prayer for body regeneration.
You chant the ritual for summoning the image of Death.
You call upon Pishe to protect you from Death's aura.
You communicate your needs to Death.
As Death gives his answer, flickering, changing images run through your mind, and you are frozen for a moment by visions of how the ghost of Topsy has died in the past.
The vision is unclear, only pain and darkness.
The image of Death sighs at you.
Death tells you: HER AGAIN? DOES SHE BELIEVE IN REINCARNATION? BECAUSE I HAVE A GOOD LINE ON A NEW LIFE AS A PUZUMA.
The image of Death vanishes.
Topsy starts to glow softly.
A few flashes of your vision remain with you as a cautionary example.

Alignment

Resurrection is an inherently good act, and appears to always move the resurrecting priest's alignment towards "as good as you can get".

Xp Return

This section is primarily based on Zexium's theories and research!

There appear to be two calculations related to Xp during resurrection, in addition to the command Xp.

Command Xp for the Performer

Command Xp received by the person performing the ritual is normally 15 times the consumed GP of 270, or 4050 GP. In addition, due to the time the ritual takes to perform, some heartbeat Xp is received. This seems to be about 105 Xp. Command Xp is reduced by repeated performances of the ritual.

Maximum Restored Xp for the Subject

The subject of the ritual will receive back a maximum of 75% of their before-death Xp, depending on a skillcheck that seems to compare the curing target bonus of the priest with the before-death Xp of the subject. The scaling factors and linearity or otherwise of the skillcheck are unknown, but it seems that 500 bonus in curing target will generally give the maximum return to the subject for resurrections involving up to at least 10 million death Xp. Data for higher death Xp resurrects is somewhat sparse.

Xp awarded to the deceased after death as a result of group actions, heartbeat, exploration etc is apparently not subject to these calculations and is instead returned 100% on resurrect or raise.

Maximum Reward Xp for the Performer

It seems that the performer will receive a maximum from the resurrect of the ((Death_Xp * 0.75) ^ 0.8) * 0.75, in addition to the ritual command Xp of 4050 (maximum) and approximately 105 heartbeat Xp during the performance of the ritual.

Lower bonuses may slow the ritual and increase the heartbeat Xp. Repeated and frequent performances of the ritual may reduce the command Xp. Neither of these factors affect the Xp return to the subject, but they may affect the Xp reward to the performer.

The "Degrees of Success"

Both of these skillchecks appear to involve a "degree of success" calculation rather than the more common "pass or fail" one.

The table below shows observed and calculated Xp returns for the resurrectee and the resurrector, based on a resurrector with a faith.rit.cu.ta bonus of 516. Two relations have also been presented graphically, these are the subject's Xp return vs their death Xp, and the performer's Xp reward, also against the subject's death Xp.

XpPishe in the table is the performer's Xp increase after 4155 Xp has been subtracted for command Xp and heartbeat xp performing the ritual. Note that some subjects reported approximate values for one or both of their pre-death and post-resurrect Xp amounts.

Thanks to Scouter who determined the basic form of the correlation between the subject's death Xp and the performer's Xp gain, which has been refined to determine the best fit correlation from several possibilities. Empirically, the form "Xp2 = Xp1 ^ 0.8" matches the teaching Xp equation, and a 0.75 multiplier is used elsewhere in the subject's xp return from resurrect, thus it is felt that the appearance of these terms in an equation that closely correlates to observed values is significant.

It is now believed (by Zexium) that following the calculation of the two maximum values, each is multiplied by a value between 0.00 and 1.00 (inclusive) that is determined by how well the performer of the ritual passes skillchecks of their faith.ritual.curing.target skill against values determined from the Xp amounts involved. It is also believed (by Zexium) that that the values used for the skillcheck are calculated in such a way that the skillcheck for the performer's reward Xp is always harder for a given resurrection than the skillcheck for the subject's Xp return.

XpDeath (xp1) XpRes (xp2) XpDeath * 0.75 XpPishe (res) ((XpDeath * 0.75) ^ 0.8 ) * 0.75
