'''Astrolabes''' are non-wearable fluff items originally released at [[Ebon Gate]] in 2008. They are navigational instruments used to take astronomical measurements of celestial bodies.

An astrolabe can be permanently attached to a compatible '''neck support'''. This destroys the support and converts the astrolabe into a neck-worn accessory with a new long description. An astrolabe can only be strung once.

|itemsummary=The neck support is a neck-worn chain, cord, ribbon, string, or similar item intended to be permanently attached to an astrolabe. It may only have a 15/15/15 description and cannot have a long or show description. The support is destroyed when combined with an astrolabe.

==Additional Information==
To combine the items, the astrolabe and neck support must both be held. Use {{boldmono|PUT ASTROLABE ON SUPPORT}}. The support must use the Astrolabe Neck Support script, and neither item can already have a long or show description.

Combining ''an openwork brass astrolabe'' with ''a knotted length of string'' produces:

<pre{{log2}}>
an openwork brass astrolabe suspended from a knotted length of string
</pre>

The combination process also:

* Permanently destroys the neck support.
* Makes the astrolabe neck-worn.
