We actually were required to write these instructions on the guns when we started exporting. A pale figure almost got eaten while trying to shoot a Yubo without ammo, then sued the hell out of the poor crafter.... tell me about those Matis lawyers.... *sigh*

I have deciphered the Zorai pictograms from their guildhalls and I must say that I am shocked! Simply shocked that the Zorai have written such risque instructions upon their walls!

Yeah lol as for guildhalls... The pictograms in the guildhalls are almost the same as on the melee weapons with just a couple of additions. Here they are:

And here is the 1 pictogram added to the previous set (found at ceiling):

Well at least this didn't disappoint me (like bullets on the rifle). They stress the importance of being a "zorai" and give a key to victorious battles.
And the new batch of "deciphered" pictograms will come soon

stay tuned

Sure np. I have these translated already. I will be adding them to the "vocabulary". But as a preview: --two separate or one --- it is one symbol that means "always". The hammer like one on the left is a verb - "to work". The longer curved one on the right means "beauty" or a verb "to make smthn (look) beautiful" like to beautify

. The smaller one on the right is a part of a more complex symbol with two additions meaning "most important"
enjoy.
I promise to update the vocabulary real soon

The ones on the roads in Burning Desert (Imperial Dunes and a little in Oflovak's Oasis, as far as I know). I'm very curious about them as well.
A bit late, but nevertheless... I think
the symbols on the roads (if those are the ones you were referring to) are really just ornaments.
