Ranking up Ornament Effects

You need to put ornaments in your quarters (Display Room). You need 10 points for rank 1, 30 points for rank 2 and 50 points for rank 3.

Basically you choose the skill you want and make or buy the ornaments that have +5 on that skill.

Note: The same ornament cannot be used more than once. Don't bother making lots of the same ornament just because it has more points.

Note 1: Each skill has 10 ornaments (total of 50 points) and you get rank 3.

Note 2: It does not stack with other equipment EX effects. Best rank will apply.

Earning Cultural Contribution

When displaying an Ornament in the Louvre (Paris), you will receive a certain amount of Cultural Contribution each day that it is on display (1 week limit).

After a week has passed you must go back, retrieve it and re-enter it for display for another week.

Louvre's Acceptance Criteria

For an Ornament to be acceptable, it cannot be from Europe, so ornaments like Stonehenge will not work. You will have to bring an overseas ornament.

Ornament Value

Cultural contribution depend on the star rating of the card tied to ornament:

• 1 star = 100 points 
• 2 star = 200 points 
• 3 star = 300 points 
• 4 star = 400 points 
• 5 star = 500 points

Making Ornaments

Ornaments can be made by submitting a discovery to a Craftsman.

To create an ornament go to your local Craftsman or Sculptor and choose "Commission Ornament" button. Give him a Discovery Card, pay him and let him make it for you.

You do not need handicraft or any other production skill as it is a NPC recipe (Pretty much like a farm recipe).

Please note that:

• If the discovery card is not with you, the ornament option will not appear.
• The discovery card is lost in the process (not the discovery). 
• Some ornaments are only obtained in special events (Like the Halloween Pumpkin type).
• You can't make an ornament out of port or geographical discoveries.
• There are some discovery cards that only a specific craftsman will work on.
