Talk:Symbols

"Different Alphabets There is like a old and new symbol language. Some Symbols on buildings are different to the ones you see on yourself or companions." I don't think it's a different alphabet; I think it's just that they only chose a few symbols for the players to have, while the Rythulian language is actually varied and vast.

(Also: I've noticed that the symbols you collect, and such, seem to be even more varied than usual, and will shift between what symbols they show.) Should we, say, change this to note that what symbols the players can have is only a very limited portion? --Cyanis (talk) 04:54, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

About 2 alphabets: this is info from the community. they saw distinct differences in those. also if i remember correctly, you will not see "normal" symbols in the other alphabeth (not sure about this). good place to check: UG at the end tower. has a lot of them.

 (Also: I've noticed that the symbols you collect, and such, seem to be even more varied than usual, and will shift between what symbols they show.)  then usual? like mixed alphabeths? i never concentrated long enough on those, so cant tell. and yes, the symbolglitters and changes until you pick it.

I thought there is already a symbol pic on that page, maybe just uploaded it, not implemented. Olig made it because i asked him to i think.. or myian exportet the table with the symbols you can get on your robe. if i ever find time, i will add it then plus the info Ravingmadness (talk) 19:30, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

No, I mean, it seems to follow a similar principle as Korean lettering, where it looks like a pictorial writing system (different symbols for different words), but it really uses a phonetic system, just with different letters squished together into one consonant.

I did notice that the specific set of symbols your character can have is unique to the player characters, but overall, most of the symbols share the same "letters" (which look like they can be rotated), and just have four grouped into different 'words/consonants.' So it looks to me like the "words" are unique to the player characters, but they're not a whole different alphabet.

However, I've also noticed that the symbols you collect seem to have unique "letters" - or maybe they're distorted and don't even count as "letters" - and will change what "word" they show before you collect them.

At any rate, since it's now contested, I think it's safe to say that the symbols you can have are unique, but not that they're a whole different alphabet. ^_^; --Cyanis (talk) 21:33, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
