#### Rook Attack Frequency (as requested)

EDIT #2: This thread is the de facto repository of the ongoing efforts of the Rook Alerts group to keep track and predict the Rook attacks plaguing Aranna in particular and Rook attacks in general.
EDIT #1: Google Spreadsheet courtesy of Garum. Please update both the thread and the spreadsheet.
I have been keeping track of Rook attacks in Aranna especially those I participated in. So far my guesstimates have been holding true; the. rook attacks are approximately 2 real-time hours apart ± 10 minutes.
NOTE: This applies to Rook attacks in Aranna

- You will really want to learn how to defend against the Rooks, there is a museum that will show you the ancient secrets in Jethimadh. With level 20 and some orb skills you could help save us all.

- Seeing as I have never encountered the rooks, does the music change or does an alert come up when rooks are in the area or is it a matter of, walking in and going, " oh crud, there are rooks here"?

- @codimona: A rook attack is something that can't be missed. If only because your Familiar (the rock face) turns into a mean angry bird of prey.
  The attack as it might happen:

  As you can see, it's not pretty: animals die, your interface becomes "glitched", etc.
  The way to fight off a rook attack:
  www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxS...
  As shown in the second video, in case of a Rook attack three things are required to ward off the attack:
  1. Glitchens with Martial Imagination skill: if eight focus their Focusing Orb onto one spot a beam will lash out that tries to stun the Rook.
  2. Glitchens with Piety skill: these "prime" a Shrine into becoming a Rook killing weapon
  3. Glitchens of any skill: these are urged to donate to the Shrine, to increase the chances of Rook defeat.

- It'd be nice to have an excel sheet, to predict, or at least give a quick summary, of the times expected to have a Rook attack =)
  Posted 14 months ago by Toastman | Permalink
- Well, the data is still not enough. The times are still my guesstimate and needs proof, though it has held up quite well so far.
  Posted 14 months ago by Mal'akh | Permalink
- What if you simply put the times you have so far, (or rather, the time apart each attack is) into an excel graph and plot the trend?

  Posted 14 months ago by Fernstream | Permalink
- Sure, Join either of these groups for questions and to get information.
  www.glitch.com/groups/RHVGR...
  www.glitch.com/groups/RIFCF...
  Both of these are for chat. Then there is an alert group that we use so people know an attack is happening and can come to help. After finding out what rook attacks are and you want to help join that group.
  www.glitch.com/groups/RIF6P...
  There's a quest in the Jethimadh Tower that explains the "History" of Rooks. They are destroying the giant's imagination and therefore trying to destroy our world. We must battle them with Glitch imagination.
