# Prestige & Encyclopedia

***

### 🌟 1. How Prestige works

When a player reaches the **Max Level**, they can "Prestige" their item in the F-key menu.

* **The Reset:** The item goes back to Level 1, but it keeps its Prestige bonuses.
* **Costs:** You can make it cost money (Vault) or XP levels.
* **Scaling:** Every time they Prestige, the next one costs more automatically.

#### Why do it?

* **Permanent Buffs:** You can give the item extra damage, health, or speed that never goes away.
* **XP Multiplier:** Items get more XP per action after they Prestige.
* **Cool Name:** The item gets a star and a Roman numeral (like ★ III) to show how powerful it is.

***

### 📖 2. All Tools & Weapons

Here is a quick list of how different items work:

* **Mace:** Use it for smash attacks. The higher you fall, the more XP you get.
* **Spear:** Throw it or use the charge attack to get extra XP.
* **Brush:** Great for archaeology. You get XP when you find loot.
* **Trident:** Works for hitting, throwing, and using Riptide.
* **Pickaxe & Shovel:** Just mine blocks. Rare blocks give more XP.
* **Sword & Bow:** Kill mobs or hit players to level up.

### 📊 3. Placeholders for Lore

You can use these tags in your item descriptions:

* `%level%` - Current level.
* `%max_level%` - The highest level possible.
* `%current%` / `%required%` - XP progress.
* `%prestige_roman%` - The Prestige rank (like II, III).
* `%total_xp%` - All XP earned since the start.

> \[!TIP] The `%bar%` placeholder shows a nice progress bar to the player!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://troxlabs.gitbook.io/gearevolution/prestige-and-encyclopedia.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
