From what I've been able to gather, the skill is Astronomy, and yes, there are supposed to be a bunch of new Adventure quests that require the skill once it is brought into the server. Also, from what I understand, when the skill was brought into play on the other servers, everyone got an extra (51st) base skill slot as well. If true, let's hope the GAMA server players get that as well.

Guilder

Based on what I've found so far, and I'll admit there is very little, it seems like those scrolls are special Shipwreck Maps from the 10th Anniversary Box edition of UWO. Each one reveals the location of a shipwreck in a certain sea (the one used in the blog is "白海の沈没船地図", or 'Wrecks map of the White Sea'.) It may be that those wrecks and their loot can only be found with by using those scrolls, but it's really too early to say for sure. Wish I could read Japanese, heh.

For astronomy discoveries it doesn't matter what the coordinates are. You just have to be in the correct sea and use recognition at the right time. That's usually at night, but sometimes at sunset or sunrise. Also you can't make the discovery when it is raining/storming/snowing

There are some astronomy discoveries that can be made without map or quests by just using recognition. In this situation you need to be in the right sea area + right Age (chronoquests) + right timing to discover it. Sometimes on the right spot is also necessary. These discoveries are often required to do the subsequent quests of Astronomy.

Just curious, are there any new Aides in future updates that get this skill?

IGN: CullumStraun

Guilder
09-30-2015

Taipan: To date, no Aides exist with Astronomy as an innate skill. Regarding future updates, there's some new information about JP's "Atlantis - Atlantic Ocean" update (due out this month):

gamecity.ne.jp/dol/developer/new_updata2015_10.htm

It will become possible to -add- the Astronomy skill to aides. But that's a long ways off for GAMA, and there's a marked difference between an aide that comes with Astronomy naturally, and having to -add- the skill using an item to do so.

V_I
11-23-2015

So, there are Astronomical discoveries "in the wild", and their availability is related to World Clock periods and Adept of Age titles. If I discovered one, then reported it to Galileo in Pisa, could I then find the same "wild" discovery again, like with archive map discoveries? Or would I have to actually lose the discovery card first before I could "find" it again?

Egw
11-23-2015

Non-astronomer's uneducated guess: these wild discoveries would probably work the same way fishing discoveries that are also wild. What happens with those? For sure you can't rediscover the same fish again if you have the card, and I don't know what happens when you loose the card? I don't think I've ever managed to loose a fishing card, I wonder if it's even possible at all?

Guilder
11-24-2015

Egw's guess lines up with my own findings. Otherwise, all you'd have to do is find an Astronomical discovery in the same sea zone as a town with a discovery reporting NPC in it, and then discover/report/discover/report, over and over, until your Astronomy skill was maxed. As for losing cards, Treasure Hunt synthesis, Lima/Caribbean/SEA City Official donations, and losing in Debate Tournaments are the only way to lose them apart from ornament creation... it ought to be possible for fish and Astronomy cards to be lost, under those conditions. But it still wouldn't be possible to do it more once every blue moon.

Destry1
11-25-2015

Yes, I think you will have to lose the card in order to be able to redo the discovery.

That would be in line with fishing and shipwreck discoveries. You can only get those again after losing the card. I confirmed this for fish and shipwreck discoveries, but I haven't lost an astronomy card so far.

"It sounds like someone called [XXX] has discovered a new astronomical object!"

Destry1
02-06-2018

Every 3 days + x hours a new astronomical object is available to discover. So keep in mind the time of the last object discovered (you can see this at any adv mediator). Then just keep using recognition in each new sea region (you also need astronomy skill, r1+).

For the rest, you just have to be lucky to come across the right sea zone at the time that the discovery appears, and that another player is not faster than you are.

Destry1

*Afterwards, if you are the first to discover this object, you need to report the discovery to an adv mediator or guild master.
