Tier 5 - Envelopes

A mechanism that can create writing or mailing paper, postcards, bouquet paper, and envelopes.

Tier 6 - Butcher Paper

By adding a candle (any common candle will do) to the papermaker, you store 10 doses of wax and can turn a piece of paper into Butcher Paper.

Butcher Paper can be used to store a variety of food items.

Additionally, you can apply fletching glue to the paper and turn it into a waxed bag. Bags can be used to hide your bottles when you want to drink from them, or to store other foods.

Lastly, you can also write small notes on the butcher paper and the bags. Once you do this, it will change the LONG description of your butcher paper to include the note. You can then write on it again for a longer note.

Please note, character counts apply.

Tier 7 - Organic Paper

By feeding certain organic material to your papermaker you can create very specific paper types. The options are as follows:

  • Bark will produce amate and the type of tree the bark was obtained from (if present) will always display.
  • Cane will produce bagasse paper.
  • Cotton boll produces rag paper.
  • Fronds produce <frond adjective> paper.
  • Reed or Sedge produces textured papyrus.
  • Roses produce naevela.
Paper created with this unlock can be either writing or mailing paper.

Additional Information

Show

This item has a hard-coded show that cannot be changed:

Thin and flat, the small machine resembles a slightly oversized cigar box with lacewood panels on all sides.  On each of the short, flat sides is a plaque with tiny instructions and filigreed label frames, one displaying "a piece of" and the other stating "declaration."  A third frame on one of the longer sides reads "writing" and sits amid bronze toggles, dials, switches, buttons, a window, and two glass tubes; both that are empty.  The final long side has a pull handle of round metal that provides access to some sort of drawer, and the lid is decorated with a woodburned dahlia design.

Altering

Papermakers can only have long descriptions. They can have several components customized by any merchant willing to work on them. Component examples include:

  • Cover Design: a woodburned dahlia design
  • Toggle Material: bronze
  • Label Frames: filigreed
  • Mechanism Material: lacewood
  • Metal Pull Handle: round metal
