Learn how the single placement of a single item will dramatically cool down your room. I can guarantee results, with just a short and easy lesson about thermodynamics!
"I've been left to manage the systems whilst the Overseer is missing, and my algorithm detected a lack of finesse quests. Combining this with the date, approaching apocalyptic weather patterns, and mid-summer season for many English speakers - I have calculated the optimal quest!"

Finesse quests will all be about mastery of your skills, learning how to perfect them. For example: When you’re hot, most people point a fan at themselves and have it oscillate. You might as well be cooking with the oven door open. Let me show you how to maximise your [Heat Resistance] with one simple placement of an often misused item:
The ever-present fan. It seems so simple: if you're hot, point the fan at you, right? Not necessarily.. you may be far better off placing the fan by the open door or window. If the air outside is cooler, then have the back of the fan facing the cool air, and the front of the fan facing either yourself, or the hot parts of the room (such as a computer, television, window or bed)

White curtains will be better at keeping heat out, but let's be honest: you're likely a gamer with blackout curtains - the most optimal way at keeping heat out your room. If you don't have these yet: they are a must-have for any bedroom, living room or office. But that's a tip for another time!

Your task:

The first step is to work out where's hotter: outside or inside your room. You don't need a thermometer for this, it's as simple as sticking your hand out and seeing if it cools down or heats up. Where it's cooler is where you want to be getting your air from. (Remember heat rises too, so angling your fan upwards will boost its DPS)

Now imagine you've got thermal vision enabled, and place your fan where the back is coldest, and point it towards where the hottest spot is. Placing yourself somewhere in between will amplify that buff, but more importantly: the heat exhaust will help to cool the entire room down.

If it's a heatwave or you're struggling with a heatwave: you'll want to keep your curtains and window open in the morning, and then closing them as soon as it becomes warmer outside. This is your vanguard, your tank, so keep it sealed. Then once it's cooler outside in the evening, you open your curtains and window for the evening or night.

Tips:

1) It's not just the placement of the fan that matters, but what surrounds it too. Try to keep ≥30 cm of free air behind it, and half of that to the sides. Scale this up depending on the size of the fan, otherwise it won't operate at 100% capacity. 2) Be wary of big/wide items which will block a fan when in its path. All that cool air will just bounce off and spread out, failing to flow and circulate. Keep your DPS high, no friendly fire on your own tanks. 3)Everyone knows heat rises, but remember that means it lingers. Especially if you have tall ceilings, it may help to get a ceiling fan and run it clockwise on a slow speed. This will push air up and out to any exits, rather than down and at you as it does counter-clockwise. No ceiling fan? Aim a regular one to clear it out instead!

Why?

Heatwaves and hot weather are a constant debuff, draining your stamina and concentration. Making you not want to move or get things done. Compounded with even less sleep. Whilst only Deities can control the weather, You can control your environment and do everything within your power to make it work for you.

Being comfortable in the hot weather isn't just a numbers game. Mastering airflow and radiant load allows you to redirect heat away from yourself with skill and understanding, rather than just more powerful tools.

An emphasis of this lesson is the introduction of finesse. We're getting maximum results with what we already have, rather than more expensive fan or an air conditioning unit. We're doing so with a single, precise placement of a tool. A critical hit.
