MUSIC IN THE AIR	What's better than a musical instrument that creates magical floating notes that dance to your tune?

UAC FTW	Nymphadora is a new fan of Gizwizit the Great at the Fantabulous Shop (Lich room 26496): "It is hard to find nice UAC gear. These are scripted, 4x, and blessable with further tiers." Remember to attend any appearance by Gizwizit in time to watch him show off the gear. It's FANTABULOUS!	EGShop:Fantabulous	26496

HANDY ILLUSION	The icy blue illusion prop gloves at The Protected Coif (Lich room 26603) provide an effect that is unusual and allows you to choose a special customization beyond the usual mundane offerings for your character.

GET CONCHED	Meureii recommends BUY BUY BUY for the signature souvenir, a small pitch black Caligos conch shell from Deluge Debris (Lich room 26433). Why? Because nostalgia. "I must have one because, in 10 years, I will find it in the bottom of my locker from EG 2018 and start puzzling over it once again! Buy it for the fun. Keep it for the memories."	EGShop:Deluge Debris	26434
BEST CUTS	*Buyer's Choice* Want to cut your gems, but don't like making them into silly shapes?

SPARKLED TRESSES	Rainedrop found some beautiful hair jewels at Wigged Out (Lich room 26418). Oval-cut glinting water sapphires especially caught the eye. She tells us, "They give that snazzy sparkle all ladies want!"	EGShop:Wigged Out	26600
BLUE SUEDE SHOES	Some of Misun's favs at Ebon Gate were the blue suede footwraps and a tight ball of colbalt blue rawhide at Fantabulous (lich room 26496).
