Part of the new origami system, origami kits can hold origami accoutrements inside (currently limited to origami paper and writing implements). In addition, there are three (3) storage slots for stacks of paper. Paper using the storage slots will unlock to the same tier level the kit is unlocked to, opening up fluff verbs to add zestiness.

Additional Information

Using the Kits

Unlocking the Kits

  • You can unlock the kit from Tiers 2-5 using certs at RW.
    • Paper stored via PUSH will be unlocked to the same tier as the kit

  • Unlocking a kit to T2 will bind the kit to the account doing the unlocking
    • Paper PUSHed into an unlocked kit will also be bound to the account if PULLed out in a stack. Individual sheets PLUCKed out will not be bound. They cannot be combined with other paper, however, and must remain as an individual sheet.
    • There is a warning and a CONFIRM option, so it shouldn't take you by surprise
