'''Phrenology''' is a skill that is taught by [[Glajur]] in [[Kur Tower]] after reaching ''Comfortable'' favor with him. Phrenology skills provide '''critical-hit chances''' to all [[Psychology]] and [[Mentalism]] attacks against the corresponding type of creature. Phrenology also has "more esoteric uses" according to the in-game skill panel (to be documented).


The skill involves studying skulls from various humanoid creatures. Skulls are acquired by using the option "Extract skull" on a slain creature. Similarly to [[butchering]] and [[skinning]] skills, a tool is required in the inventory. The first tool, called a '''Skull Extractor''' is received from [[Glajur]] at ''Comfortable'' favor, or can be bought from him.
== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview==
'''Phrenology''' lets you study the skulls of many different types of enemies. Skulls are broken up into 3 tiers (normal/impressive/astonishing), and as you level up in each subskill you can study better of skulls that type. Phrenology gives bonuses to Mentalism and Psychology, as well as Mentalism/Psychology critical hit chance for each type of mob.
 
You can study skulls from most humanoid creatures (animal skulls can be extracted, but there's currently no Phrenology subskill for them). Extraction requires some version of a Skull Extractor and success depends on your [[Butchering]] level.

Skulls come in a variety of shapes, based on the races of Alharth, such as Human, Elf, Orc and Rakshasa. There are also "impressive" versions of the skulls which are worth more favor with Glajur. Note that skulls can be found before this skill is acquired. They are sometimes looted from skeletons and jars in [[Eltibule Crypt]], and in [[Kur Tower]].
{{:{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}/Recipes}}


Once skulls are acquired, the research recipes are used to raise '''Phrenology sub-skills''' such as Orc Phrenology, Human Phrenology, etc. Each recipe requires a skull and the appropriate ''Craniometer'' bought from Glajur (there is a 1% chance the research apparatus will break).

=== Studying Skulls ===
The actual act of studying requires Craniometers, which can be bought from [[Glajur]]. They have a 1% chance of breaking with every skull studied. Higher tiers of skulls require better Craniometers.

Phrenology Overview

Phrenology lets you study the skulls of many different types of enemies. Skulls are broken up into 3 tiers (normal/impressive/astonishing), and as you level up in each subskill you can study better of skulls that type. Phrenology gives bonuses to Mentalism and Psychology, as well as Mentalism/Psychology critical hit chance for each type of mob.

You can study skulls from most humanoid creatures (animal skulls can be extracted, but there's currently no Phrenology subskill for them). Extraction requires some version of a Skull Extractor and success depends on your Butchering level.

In-Game Description

An understanding of how sentient creatures think and feel, based on careful study of the shape of their skulls. This base skill represents your overall Phrenological prowess. (Phrenology skills provide critical-hit chances to all Psychology and Mentalism attacks against the corresponding type of creature. Phrenology also has more esoteric uses.)

Training Phrenology
