It would be nice if there were classrooms where someone teaching and their students would get a bonus to learning and schollership being in a learning environment. to keep it interesting, throw in a working chalkboard, bottomless inkwells, and straws with little paper wads.

Perhaps ASSESS TEACH could show us if one of these bonuses is present. There might be a stronger chance of people using those areas if they could actually see that they were getting a bonus for it. And if they don't already, guildhalls should have this bonus.

I'd also like a better feel for this, think it would be used more. Might add to people actually teaching classes in places that make more sense.

Not sure I agree with guildhalls, unless for guild only skills. Not sure if that should be either.

I dug up a few old posts from Dartenian, when Teaching was being updated a few years back (mid-2008).

In addition, there will be areas in the game more conductive to certain classes. This is actually not a new feature, just one that was never well-supported or even well-known (if at all). Note that this is just a bonus; the system should work perfectly fine without these areas. It just gives added benefit to those who want to use them. Music classes, for example, may benefit from being held in areas where entertainers traditionally perform or practice. Non-combat classes, lore skills in particular, may benefit from being held in schools, academies, or universities.

> That's a really neat feature too, I just wish we'd known about it all these years!

If folks had any clue how much of a bonus some of these areas provided, they'd probably cry. Due to a bug they were getting multiplied by a factor of ten. Heh. Before you run out trying to find 'em, it's too late. Already fixed that bug. Sorry!

> would one of 'em happen to have been in the aesry library? I Knew a certain bard that ALWAYS used to teach there...

Nope. The system was last updated in '96, to give you some idea of how old it was. All but one were in Zoluren, the lone exception in or near Haven. Once Teaching 2.0 is live, I'll spill the beans. I have to admit these were as much a surprise to me as to you guys.

Heyo!

Because I promised, and because it's too late to take advantage of these old glitches...

* There was a room in Arthe Dale where any class on missile weapons would a bonus of about 5 times the normal experience. In that same room, melee weapon classes received a measely 4 times the normal experience.

* Arthe Dale also featured a location where trading and appraisal classes saw their experience rate tripled.

* Here's a freebie. The Asemath Academy has always had and still has a bonus to teaching. Some subjects benefit more than others.

* There was a mystic location near Riverhaven that bonused magic classes.

There are now more areas in the game that have teaching bonuses, although none of them are remotely as substantial as the old buggy (and thankfully unknown) location bonuses.

I remember that post, and I've used the academy for my bard to teach in <its indoors, so i don't get my musical instruments damaged. And, i've occasionally run around in various rooms for Power perception. But, I tend to go where the elemental magic is best, rather than specifically trying one room or another for teaching benefits. And my other lore primaries don't hang there because my trader is usually out on the road, and my empath goes to where the patients are. People that come to the academy are usually just people training stats.
