* To learn the Warden skill you must have {{Favor|Friends}} or higher favor with [[ProjectGorgon:Suspicious Cow|Suspicious Cow]]  in Eltibule, [[ProjectGorgon:Red|Red]] in Kur, or [[ProjectGorgon:Norbert|Norbert]] in Animal Town in Sun Vale. Speak with one of those NPCs with whom you have sufficient favor, and complete a series of quests to become a Warden: [[ProjectGorgon:The Sacred Grotto Password|The Sacred Grotto Password]], [[ProjectGorgon:The External Resource Coordinator|The External Resource Coordinator]], [[ProjectGorgon:The Warden Test|The Warden Test]], and [[ProjectGorgon:Return to the Sacred Grotto|Return to the Sacred Grotto]].  After completing these quests and speaking with Milton, the player must select the option in Milton's talk menu: "I am up to speed", in order to become a warden.

== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Mechanics ==
=== Warden Alerts ===
[[ProjectGorgon:Warden|Warden]] members learn a [[ProjectGorgon:Lore|Lore]] recipe called '''Check Active Warden Alerts'''. This recipe will show which NPC is offering a Warden Alert Quest at the moment of its casting. Warden Alert Quests usually require the killing of 12-15 specific creatures in the same zone as the NPC that offered the quest. Most of the Warden Alert Quests award Warden points, quest-giver favor, and also [[ProjectGorgon:Vervadium|Vervadium]] in higher level zones. Each Warden Alert is active for a full day, so you can do them whenever you want, and there is no forced start time, unlike [[ProjectGorgon:Druid|Druid]] Events. 

Warden points can be used to purchase skill upgrades in the [[ProjectGorgon:Sacred Grotto|Sacred Grotto]], as well as a number of useful animal-related items from [[ProjectGorgon:Milton|Milton]].

Warden Alerts do not penalize you for declining to participate in them, but a Warden must complete at least one Warden Alert per Moon Cycle or their Warden abilities will deactivate and require a ritual to reactivate. ('''Note''': This is the planned eventual behavior. At present, Warden abilities deactivation does not occur regardless of Warden Alert participation, and there is no 'reactivation' quest implemented yet. However, you may still wish to complete Warden Alerts in order to earn Warden points, favor, and other rewards.)

=== Warden Reactivation Ritual ===
The [[ProjectGorgon:Warden|Warden]] Reactivation Ritual has not yet been implemented. Warden abilities at the present time do not deactivate even if no Warden Alerts have been completed in the last lunar cycle.
