89157Z Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 It's pretty much a black box to me. Does it interact with skills at all? Is it really just the Mother of All Reference Tables or something? I haven't been able to figure this one out. I used to not care, but then I noticed Lychnus and Gallina Artatus on the wiki. Lychnus has the very valuable "expand relationship maximum" effect, while Gallina Artatus has the unbelievably coveted "Expand Chosen Subskill Maximum" effect. All of a sudden, I care about Astrology enough to be frustrated at the black boxiness of the Astrology (Action) that's used to gain these effects. (Does the Expand Chosen Subskill Maximum effect even work?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Haha, those are difficult Effects to acquire, and may not even be in your game, depending. Each time you begin a new game, the dominant constellations, their duration, and their trajectories for the year, are chosen. At the 1st year level, you have to find out what's dominant by trial and error. In Y2, you'll get some forecasting tools to help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikka Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Ooo, I knew it! I knew that I kept seeing the same constellations pop up in one game, but in a totally different game was seeing completely different ones pop up. I thought that it was randomized at game start, but then I thought I was thinking too much about it, but then I thought maybe I was right. Huh. Facinating.

freespace2dotcom Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 And guess who hasn't even gotten a whiff of this? *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 oO I just tested astrology with Angelik and got a lasting +6 in Revision and some Atributes (Rex I-XI and Aquilo I-V). Looks like I drastically underestimated this ability! Will this bonus keep working in year 2 when I got them in year 1? If so I remake the last day with Angelik! How could I complete miss such a powerful ability all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Schwarzbart; No, they are gone in Y2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Still my next char will also get Astrology class but this time I use the astrology ability right when I get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Probably not a good idea, as beginners tend to receive penalties as often as bonuses. I doubt the bonuses are as potent, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 At last what I got was +1 in 3 Attributes (if I remember right) and +6 Revision with no downside what I would consider really great especial at the start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 ...but could you have gotten that at the start.....? I suspect it *might* be possible but the odds of it mean you might reload thousands of times and never see it (with a low astrology score. you don't need much in it to unlock that basic ability) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Will see it when I play my next char in DLC 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Got Rex I (+1 Luck) and Gloriusus I & II (+2 Charm and +2 Court Fashion) doing Astrology in the first week. (without rerolling the day) Edit but they only hold for 3 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
