Mentors are scattered around the universe, these special NPCs allow you to apprentice under them and learn new skills that would otherwise be unavailable to you. When you have a mentor information about tasks, favor, and skills associated with them can be viewed with the "train" command. Mentor Commands: mentors - Shows a list of all mentors and their locations. apprentice <mentor name> - This command allows you to take on a new mentor when used in the same room as them. Once you have maxed your favor with a mentor (5000) you can apprentice back under that mentor from anywhere, you do not have to travel to them. You can not do this while fighting. abandon - This command will allow you to leave your current mentor. Mentor data is saved for each mentor so you can freely switch whenever you want. train task - This command is used to accept a new task and also to report a completed task. It can only be used in the same room as your mentor. train cooldown - This command allows you to change the cooldown period between mentor tasks. The favor earned for a task will vary depending on your cooldown. A lower cooldown will mean less favor per task, while a higher cooldown will mean more favor per task. Whenever you adjust cooldown you will have to wait the full length of your new cooldown to receive a new task. train abandon - This command can be used to abandon the current task and reset the timer before the next one can be accepted. It can only be used in the same room with the mentor. Item tasks: when a mentor sends you to fetch an item they hand you a hand drawn task map. look taskmap shows the room the item was left in, the surrounding area with the spot marked, and the exits leading away from it. The train display also names the room for as long as the item is still out there. Once you reach the area the item shows on your own map with the same marker, only you can see it and only you can pick it up. The marker is a T, or a scroll if your client uses UTF8. The map is a sketch of the moment it was drawn, it does not follow anyone. The map cannot be dropped, given, sold or bagged and it vanishes along with the item when the task ends. Travel tasks, fetching an item or hunting down a target, come with a longer clock than tasks you can complete where you stand. train <skill name> - Allows you to learn a skill from your mentor if you meet the favor requirements. Can only be used in the same room as your mentor.
