I've been thinking. Since many follow the 4x illarion aging rate, i belive there should be a calander that matches up Illarion Days and Real Life days. Im trying to think of bithdays, as the teenage years in Illarion require being near exact.

Im thinking this as a formula:

365/4 = 91 (rounded down from 91.123...)

if your bithday for the character was Jan 1, then it would be like this:
Jan1+91 days= April1
April1+91days= July1
July1+91days=sept30
Sept30+91days=Dec30
Dec31 = None existant.

But, youd need to take off 1 day to make up for the decimals. And here you have, a mathmatical way to solve your characters birthday.

If you need a better diagram, look:

Jun-31
Feb-28
March-31
April-1
-------
91 days. 1 illar year. Conclusion: Bday = April 1
-------

and so on, until you hit December 30 as a Bday. Were you need to take off December 31 to make up for the decimals.

-------

For those of you who are lost:
http://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadd.html

enter in selected Date, and add 91. Write that date down, and then put that date into the caculator. Then add 91. Keep doing this until you are where you started, and whalla. You are finished.

Yes, but i guess i should change the subject. My main point is trying to figure out the four birthdays a character recieves in a year.

It's 4 hours for a day in Illarion, if we are working it by the four.

However the Ilarion year always has 366 days.

We get 6 illarion days for one normal day.

24/4=6

Therefore one Illa month is 4 days. With the exception of Mas which is 6 days long, therefore 1 rl day.

The illa year has 15 months with 24 days, and one with 6.

Therefore 15*4= 60

60+1 = 61

The illarion year is 61 days long not 91.

The official time factor is 3.
At least that's how it was implemented in the server.

Ok easy enough to shift.

24/3=8


3 days is an Illarion month, apart from Mas which is 18 hours.


The Illa year has 15 months with 24 days and one with 6.

Therefore 15*3 is 45

So an illa year is 45 days 18 hours, which tobehonest is a bit short for my liking.

(365 / (366*3)) *365 = 121.33421 RL days /1 Illa yr

Jeremy is correct.

Tho, 121 days is too long for me.
4x! 4x!
