QELATHYNOR1:

The '''Isle of the Four Winds''' is the area accessible only by premium subscribers.

[[Mist Harbor]] is located on the Isle of the Four Winds.

==How do I get to Four Winds Isle?==
After picking up a teleport item from one of the premium [[Four Winds Hall]]s, all you need to do is wear the item and turn it and you will be taken to FWI. If you want to leave FWI simply wear your transport item again and turn it and you will be returned to the original spot from which you left. There is a limit on how often you may transport on and off the isle. LOOK at your transport item to see if it is dull or scintillating. If it is scintillating you may use it to transport. If it is dull you may not. You can also LOOK at your transport item to see if it is flashing. A flashing teleport item indicates there is a merchant working on FWI for premium subscribers.

==History of the Isle of the Four Winds==

The [[Travel guide|guide]] says, "As far as the history of Four Winds Isle, well, that's always been a mystery. Some people say it was created by [[Jaston]] himself. Others say it was just used by Jaston as a sanctuary. Still others say it has nothing to do with Jaston at all! Like I said, it's a real mystery.

The history of the Isle of Four Winds begins with the history of Frostacres, a small commune of farmers and traders that grew up around the cottage of the kindly sylph Wixie. Wixie lived next to a lake that fed a waterfall, deep in a forest. She was famous for her hospitality and her freshly baked apple pie.

The merchant Boggles was doing alterations one night, and stopped short of an old woman who had waited patiently for her turn. A powerful witch, she cast a powerful spell on Boggles and began to take over the minds of the townsfolk.

The people of Frostacres began to succumb to hunger and disease. The founder of Frostacres, Wixie, was immune to the witch's spell, and she rallied some visiting adventurers to battle the witch and her evil magics. During the battle with the witch, Wixie cast a spell that lifted the outpost above the land and protected it from evil powers.

When Frostacres became too small, it exploded and [[Mist Harbor]] took its place. Frostacres is still honored through the Mist Harbor banknotes, the name Frostacres is still taken by the justice system, and the [[LOCATION (verb)]] names Frostacres when used on the Isle of the Four Winds.

Alchemy jar

2016-10-08T16:03:16Z

QELATHYNOR1: /* Items */

'''Glass jars''' are sold throughout [[Elanthia]] in local alchemist shops. These jars hold up to 20 doses of items used in [[alchemy]], such as alchemy drops, foraged items, and gems. The jars do not hold skins. The jars reduce those 21 items (including the jar) to just one item for item [[INVENTORY (verb)|inventory]] quantity reasons. This feature is a huge boon to alchemists and [[Adventurer's Guild]] gem hoarders because of the 500-item limit.

Shortly after the release of the jars, GM Bernt opened a merchant tent that traveled to different towns selling jars, bottles and beakers that held 50 doses instead of the standard 20. The shop was simply called [[Inside a White Tent]].

==Items==
*[[Wehnimer's Landing]] - an opalescent glass jar
*[[Mist Harbor]] - an opalescent glass jar
*[[River's Rest]] - a long-necked glass jar
*[[Ta'Vaalor]] - a gold-flecked glass jar
*[[Kharam Dzu]] - a translucent glaes jar
*[[Solhaven]] - a faceted glass jar
*[[Icemule Trace]] - a frosted glass jar ([[Wiggim's Charms]], not the alchemist)
*[[Ta'Illistim]] - tapered glass bottle
*[[Zul Logoth]] -
*[[Cysaegir]] -

Each of the above can be ordered in customized colors to make "an <above adjective> <color> glass jar".

==Description==
When an item is added, the description changes from "a glass jar" to "a glass jar containing {items}"
:an opalescent glass jar
:an opalescent glass jar containing ayana leaves

The jars can be customized when [[ORDER (verb)|ORDER]]ed to be different colors for ease of sorting. The jars cannot be dyed via the [[dyer's tent]]s. When the full system is in place, the [[dyer's tent]] dyes will be able to dye empty jars.

During the first two days of sale, these jars were just "a glass jar". The opalescent part was added later when the colors were made manipulatable.

==Contents==
*[[LOOK (verb)|LOOK]] IN the jar to see an exact count of how many items the jar contains. This will also give a rough indicator of the remaining capacity relative to the container.

:Inside the glass jar you see 5 portions of uncut maernstrike diamonds. It is mostly empty.
:Inside the glass jar you see 7 portions of cerulean glimaerstones. It is less than half full.
:Inside the glass jar you see 10 portions of dragonseye sapphires. It is becoming full.
:Inside the prismatic glass bottle you see 49 portions of crystal cores. It is nearly full.
:Inside the prismatic glass bottle you see 50 portions of crystal cores. It is full.

*SHAKE [jar] removes one alchemy item from the jar. One hand will need to be free to hold what comes out.
:You give your jar a hard shake, causing an ayana leaf to fall into your left hand.

*SHAKE [jar] AT [cauldron] drops one of the contained ingredient into your cauldron.
:You give your jar a hard shake over your cauldron, releasing a luckbloom blossom into it.

:[[Sorcerer]]s can also [[SHAKE (verb)|shake]] a jar of animation salts at a dead creature or player. This will have the same results as spreading the salts by hand. Beware that when salts of different qualities are mixed together in a jar, the entire batch of salt will have an average of those quality values.

*INVENTORY FULL CONTAINER lists all worn containers; as well as containers, including jars, within worn and open containers.
:You are currently wearing and carrying:
::a void blue backpack
::a rolton-embossed leather knapsack
:::an opalescent glass jar containing blue trafel mushrooms
:::an opalescent glass jar containing turquoise stones
::a purple silk sheath with gold edging

*[[RUMMAGE (verb)|RUMMAGE]] IN [container] INGREDIENT [ingredient name] finds jars containing alchemy items or gems. The word "ingredient" cannot be shortened.
:You rummage through the heavy backpack and remove a large prismatic glass bottle containing crystal cores.
