What it doesโ
Badge above the shrine
- A menu-style card with a rune icon hangs above each wisdom shrine. Its color shows the state:
- purple โ there is no rune, the countdown to its spawn is running (minutes:seconds or seconds, depending on the "Format time" setting);
- green โ the rune has spawned and is waiting to be taken. There is no text, the card rises to the hovering rune;
- light blue โ someone is taking the rune right now. The remaining gather time is shown in seconds with tenths.
- The card is not drawn over the game interface.
Minimap
- A rune icon is drawn at the shrine's location: white when the rune is on the shrine, red while there is none.
- While the rune is being taken, light blue circles spread out from the shrine on the minimap.
Alerts
- Spawn alert: "Before spawn" seconds in advance (20 by default) you get the notification "Fountain of wisdom: Spawns in N seconds". Both shrines run on the same timer, so there is one notification per cycle.
- Gather alert: as soon as someone starts taking the rune, you get a notification naming the shrine's side: "Taking the rune ยท Radiant/Dire" with the hero's portrait and name if the hero is visible near the shrine, or "Someone is taking ยท Radiant/Dire" if not. If you or an ally takes the rune, there is no alert.
- After a gather alert the same shrine stays quiet for "Anti-spam" seconds (10 by default), so an interrupted and restarted gather is not duplicated.
- The notification card stays on screen for 6 seconds.
- Minimap alert: together with the alerts, a ping is placed on the shrine (white before spawn, light blue when being taken) and a sound plays. The ping lasts 7 seconds. Before the rune spawns, the ping on both shrines repeats every 7 seconds until the rune spawns. The ping and sound work even if "Disable" is selected in "Notification type".

FAQโ
No notification arrives when the rune is taken. The gather alert is not sent if you or an ally takes the rune. Also check that "Notification type" is not set to "Disable", and that "Anti-spam" is not in effect after the previous alert for this shrine.
The notification says "Someone is taking" without a hero name. The hero taking the rune is not visible (they are in the fog of war), so the script names only the shrine's side.
How do I output alerts to chat? In "Notification type" select "Game chat". Only you see the messages in chat.
The pings and sound are distracting. Turn off "Minimap alert".
