A complete campaign of truly epic proportions, Secrets of the Ancients takes a core theme from the original Traveller, and fully updates it to reveal the powers behind the galaxy in a way you have never seen them before. Never has a Traveller book truly been loaded with such secrets.

Written by Gareth Hanrahan, Secrets of the Ancients will start the players off in a familiar setting within the Spinward Marches, but quickly escalate to take them into times, places and dimensions they barely dreamed of. This is Traveller roleplaying at its very best.

Someday I will look into this. Soon.

yeah! Thank you very much!  

Nice, thanks again, Matt. And, kudos for posting it here, as well as other forums. Traveller may not be as unified as some would like but you are certainly to be commended for bringing the word out to the provinces.  

Thank you. From my first glimpse it looks interesting.

Powerlevel/Effects on the universe are a bit high for my liking. A lot better than the Clunky campaign of the same name (well, everything is) and well done if one likes the powerlevel. I admit I would have prefered a lower level campaign with shorter individual scenarios (Makes it easier to use for conventions)

How Many Revered Spirit Ashes Are In Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree

Should you devour draconic essence in elden ring: shadow of the erdtree, elden ring: shadow of the erdtree ending explained (in detail), quick links, all ancient dragon knight's cookbook locations, all antiquity scholar's cookbook locations, all battlefield priest's cookbook locations, all finger weaver's cookbook locations, all fire knight's cookbook locations, all forager brood cookbook locations, all grave keeper's cookbook locations, all greater potentate's cookbook locations, all igon's cookbook locations, loyal knight cookbook location, all mad craftsman's cookbook locations, all st. trina's disciple's cookbook locations.

Cookbooks are back in Elden Ring : Shadow of the Erdtree , and their recipes are just as useful as the cookbooks from the base game. With pages scattered across the Shadow World, Tarnished will have to look in every nook and cranny to find them all, but finding each one will provide you with one more tool to use in your quest to find Miquella.

The recipes aren't all you'll need, however; before you can craft anything, you'll need to get the Crafting Kit from Merchant Kale in Limgrave. Odds are high that you've already gotten the kit, based on how much Elden Ring you have to play before you can start Shadow of the Erdtree , but if not, you can look for Kale in the Church of Elleh . Once you've got the kit, all that's left is to hunt down all the cookbooks. Follow along below for each location.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree introduced a new upgrade material called Revered Spirit Ash, and players will want to know how many the DLC has.

Harness The Power of Lightning

These Ancient Dragon Knight's Cookbooks contain recipes that allow you to infuse your weapons with lightning damage.

Craft Your Own Spritestones

There are two Antiquity Scholar's Cookbooks, both of which give a different Spritestone recipe.

Follow The Recipes of the Divine

The Battlefield Priest's recipes give you consumables that allow you to wield holy power on your weapons.

Craft Lost Recipes of a Finger Weaver

These Finger-themed craftables will give you an edge against enemies.

Flaming Weapons, Flaming Snake

Use the Fire Knight's Cookbook craftables to truly embrace the power of fire. You can inflict fire damage with both ranged and melee weapons, as well as summon a fire snake with FP. Here is each location:

Forager Brood Hide-and-Seek

The Forager Brood Cookbook has a bit of a twist. There are a bunch of Lesser Servants of Rot lurking around these Cookbooks; instead of killing them, you'll need to talk to them. You can tell which Servants are hostile by looking for the ones with the red bodies. If they're red, they're safe to kill. Check out LunarGaming 's video on YouTube for a full quest guide for these Cookbooks.

As part of Moore's questline, he'll ask you to locate all six Forager Broods, which will reward you with the seventh and final Forager Brood Cookbook. Don't attack any of the Lesser Servants of Rot. If you do kill them, you won't have a chance to uncover the Lesser Servants' cookbook secret .

You Like Dead Stuff? We Have Dead Stuff

Both Grave Keeper's Cookbooks give you recipes inspired by the undead.

Never Enough Hefty Pots

There are 14 Greater Potentate's Cookbooks in total; finding them all gives you access to 14 different Hefty Pot Recipes.

Dragon Communion Recipes

Gather anti-dragon items, as well as a stat-boosting recipe that uses the power of a dragon.

Just One of These

The Loyal Knight's cookbook is inside a chest tucked into an armory in Castle Ensis, right below the Castle Ensis Checkpoint Site of Grace. It unlocks recipes to craft Royal Magic Grease and Drawstring Royal Magic Grease.

Frenzied Flame Pots, In Case Hefty Pots Weren't Enough

Once again, harness the power of flames against your foes.

Recipes from Miquella's Other Half

These recipes aren't boring, but they'll put your enemies to sleep.

There are 43 new Cookbooks to gather in Elden Ring : Shadow of the Erdtree . Whether you're a crafting master or an ingredient hoarder, these recipes will surely aid you in your quest to find Miquella. Craft and fight your way through the realm in this epic DLC.
