Once identified, the book can be read either by the player or publicly if the Poetry Appreciation requisite is met.		* More XP is gained from more valuable poetry books, which in turn require higher poetry appreciation in order to read.

	=== Finding Books ===		=== Finding Books ===
	Poetry ~~shares~~ a loot table with ~~most~~ scrolls, and therefore ~~has~~ a chance of dropping ~~from high-level mantises, faces of death, and skeleton assassins (and whatever other mobs drop scrolls). The scrolls in Under the Hand dungeon are occasionally~~ poetry books as well. Poetry book buffs last 2 hours, and buffs of the same type (+50 armor, +100 armor, +150 armor) will overwrite with the highest valued one being used until its duration runs out rather than stacking.		Poetry books share a loot table with scrolls drops. [[Face of Death]] in [[Borghild]] and [[Visage of Demise]] in [[Rahu]] tend to drop many scrolls and therefore have a higher chance of dropping poetry books.

			=== Poetry Podium ===
			'''Poetry Podiums''' are public locations where poetry can be read aloud to others.
			{{Quote\|source=Serbule Poetry Podium\|
			Here you can recite poetry. You'll need a poetry book (which is destroyed in the process). When you recite a poem aloud, you only earn 1/3 of the [[Poetry Appreciation]] XP that you'd get by reading it privately, but all other nearby players will ALSO earn that much [[Poetry Appreciation]] XP. You will also earn [[Oratory]] XP based on the number of people listening.

			Instead of actually forcing players to read an entire book of poems, you will be prompted to enter a short poem yourself. You can write your own poetry or copy-and-paste poetry from elsewhere. (If you use others' poems, make sure to credit them!)

			Nearby players will see your poem and can vote on whether they like it or not. You'll get general feedback about how your poem was received, but that feedback has no game-play effects. (Because everybody's a critic).
