all guilds have workshops, look for rooms not related to alchemy that have "workshop" or "workroom" in the roomname. this is part of the messaging:

"It quickly becomes evident that this room is a magical workshop."

The wizard's have been probing into enchanting and the benefits of magical workshops. On hearing about the difference between a magical workshop vs a magical workshop that is also a node, I attempted to cast mana focus (418) in the sorcerer workshop in the Teras guild. I was successful and determined that we have a workshop that is NOT a node. I know that when it comes to enchanting, you'd get a better boost from a workshop that is a node. The public workshop on Teras, the tower on ghorsa island, IS a workshop and an earth node.

Will a sorcerer get a better benefit to ensorcell in the earth-node public workshop than in our non-node guild workshop?

I assume you're both comparing the difference from a non-node to a guild workshop. If you compare the number to a node vs. a guild workshop, you should be able to get the determine the actual number. This is really getting into semantics, but being on a node doesn't provide a bonus, instead it actually prevents a penalty (for not being on a node). Not a huge issue, but if you do incorporate the non-penalty into the guild workshop bonus, it also needs to be incorporated into the public and private workshop bonuses. But when I said the private workshop bonus is twice as effective as the public workshop bonus, I was not including the negation of the non-node penalty.

So I guess my next question is, is there a non-node penalty for ensorcelling?

And, my mind wonders if the workshop being a non-node has any impact on magical item creation (420)?

Lastly, can the magical workshops in the sorcerer's guilds be made earth nodes in order to prevent non-node penalties and the provide bonuses, if any, to our guild workshops to the performance of wizard guild workshops.

So.... I wonder if it will be a bolt of lightning or if ROLFARD's sorcerer will be turned into a cleric when the questions become too nit-picky for Estild...

Thanks for the clarification!
