Pellet
From MYSTlore
Pellets are manufactured in the Er'cana factory. From there, they are transported via linking to the Er'cana Silo for testing and deposit in the D'ni Cavern lake. Explorers are currently working in conjunction with the DRC to revive the phosphorescent algae in the lake by manufacturing pellets and using them to "seed" the algae.
Pellets may also be linked to the upper-half of a Bahro cave via the Bahro stone located next to the pellet tray. From there, the pellet falls from the explorer's hand into a small pool of water at the bottom of the lower-half of the cave.
[edit] Pellet Points
Explorers accumulate "pellet points" in their KI for each pellet dropped into the lake. Points are based on pellet quality, as determined by a meter in the Silo; the better the quality, the more points awarded per pellet.
[edit] Effect On Algae
- Main article: Pellet Recipe
Although the chemical content of the pellet is unknown, the effect of the pellet on the algae is readily visible when dropped into the lake water. The effect varies according to the "recipe" used to "cook" the pellets, which determines how beneficial the pellet is to the lake algae. The ideal reaction, according to the DRC, creates a deep, orange glow that blooms outward through the algae. Other reactions include a bright, white glow, bubbles, steam, or no reaction at all. Certain recipes can even produce "exploders," pellets that explode when they hit the water.
