Talk:Court Astrologer

Need responses for the other animals: Rat, Ox, Horse, Lamb, Monkey , Rooster , Dog and Pig (assuming this follows the chinese astrological cycle) --BramStoker 20:31, 16 February 2007 (CST)

I'm at a bit of a loss about how the animal / birthdate is calculated. I visited this guy with all my characters that could get to Shing Jea and got the following results: --BramStoker 20:31, 16 February 2007 (CST)
 * 20 months old = Dragon (E/Me20)
 * 19 months old = Dragon (W/D20)
 * 19 months old = Snake (N/Mo20)
 * 21 months old = Tiger (R/A20)
 * 9 months old = Tiger (Rt/E20)
 * 9 months old = Tiger (A3)
 * 8 months old = Rabbit (W4)
 * 9 months old = Tiger (Mo/Me20)

My 21 month old character received the Rabbit. Isis In De Nile 23:06, 16 February 2007 (CST)

One month old, Pig. Llava 01:45, 17 February 2007 (CST)

My results: 14 months, E: Rooster. 12 months, Mo: Pig. 5 months, Rt: Sheep. 4 months, R: Monkey. 3 months, D: Monkey. Poke 05:53, 17 February 2007 (CST)

Ok, not much data, but having looked over the order of the chinese zodiac animals, it looks as if you can determine your characters animal as follows, the starting point being the weekend when the 2007 Canthan New Year was celebrated: and so on back in a 12 month cycle.
 * 0-1 months old - Pig
 * 1-2 months old - Dog
 * 2-3 months old - Rooster
 * 3-4 months old - Monkey
 * 4-5 months old - Sheep
 * 5-6 months old - Horse
 * 6-7 months old - Snake
 * 7-8 months old - Dragon
 * 8-9 months old - Rabbit
 * 9-10 months old - Tiger
 * 10-11 months old - Ox
 * 11-12 months old - Rat

The astrologer appears to work from your characters exact age, rather the result reported from /age, which is rounded off to the nearest whole month, so you may appear to be one animal out. --BramStoker 07:55, 17 February 2007 (CST)


 * I'm guessing it's based on the month in which the character was created in. If it's based on age then a small but noticeable percentage of the players would change signs during the event. -- Gordon Ecker 08:14, 17 February 2007 (CST)
