Just like the ancient settlers of Alharth had to hunt Grimalkan, the prodigies of today must hunt words.

== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview==
'''Vocabulary''' is used by [[Bard]] so that it can train in [[Blast of Defiance]].

=== In-Game Description ===
Knowledge of many words in the common language.

=== Training {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} ===

This skill is automatically learned when playing [[Word Hunt]]. Marna will sell a "Word Game" for 75 gold. After using this once, the game will be accessible at any time from a blank button on the right side, even if you drop the item.
Alternatively, the game can be played with the command /wordgame.

== Connected Skills ==
'''Sub-Skills:'''

'''Secondary Skills:'''

'''Related Skills:'''
* None

== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Mechanics ==
===Multiplayer===
Players can compete against each other in realtime. NPCs will also join in on the game!

===Point Value===
Each word you find gives you Vocabulary XP based on its length.

== Trivia ==
"The Bard will get a benefit from Vocabulary 25. Nothing will ever need a Vocabulary level higher than that -- levels beyond 25 are just for fun." - [[Game_updates/2016-11-18|Patch Notes 2016-11-18]]

"The NPCs' scores are simulated based on their [imaginary] skill in three categories: word-entry speed, word-hunting speed, and vocabulary. As an example, Sir Coth is a master of entering words quickly, but his vocabulary is very poor and he usually only finds short words. Zeratak the mantis, on the other hand, is very slow at entering words, but has an incredible vocabulary. She usually only manages to enter one or two words, but they're very long."

"A little-known trick: interacting with NPCs that play the game causes them to drop out of the next game (so they can talk to you). This trick can be used to kick NPCs out of the scoring for a round, if you really need to feel superior to a bot."
