The Meditation Stone

Sit at a Meditation Stone, keep still, and hand over one item for a 10-minute melee buff. Magic picks an element and archery picks its arrows; this is how a sword gets tuned.

Getting started

1. Walk up to a stone and you sit down. Keep still while you settle: 25 seconds at Melee 1, less as your Melee goes up, 15 seconds at Melee 99.
2. Moving, starting anything else or getting hit stands you up, and you start over. Nothing is taken until you're settled.
3. Choose one offering and press Offer and finish. One item, one buff, for 10 minutes of melee.

Where the stones are

• Somewhere on the Gloam
• Somewhere on the Lantern Mire
• Somewhere on Cloudreach
• Somewhere on the Golden Sands
• Somewhere on the Primeval Valley
• Somewhere on the Frozen Reach

How it works

• Melee only. The server checks the weapon in your hand on every hit. A bow, a wand or a staff never gets the bonus, and the buff's clock pauses while you hold one (it grays out on your buff bar), so it waits for you to pick the sword back up.
• One stone buff at a time. A new offering replaces the old one. It has its own slot, so it never takes the Buff Bag's meal or potion pocket.
• It stays inside the limits. Iron focus, Calm eye and Stone skin are +8%; with Focus or Ward on top they stop at 25%. An element is 20% of your melee hits: a monster weak to it takes more from those hits, one that resists it less. Frost also slows the monster's swings 5% for 4 seconds.
• Like every buff, the clock runs only outside.
