===Alteration Guidelines===
==Rat Catching Probability==
* Rats can only be altered via [[Alteration scroll|Sadie Scroll]], due to the possibility of having to go through QC.
* There is no hard list of what nouns rats can be altered into, but most anything that can be described as a 'rodent'.
* Rodent sacks don't have to be altered, but if you do, it would be separate from the rat alteration.
* Tails and pick-up locations can be changed to make sense with the noun that the rat is being altered to.
* Due to only be alterable via Sadie Scroll, if you want your rodent to have both a long and a show, you would need to have two separate alterations done.
* After altering a rat using a [[Alteration scroll|Sadie Scroll]] you will need to use the CLEAN verb to have the rat return to it's sack.

Sewer rats are found in the sewers of Bloodriven Village. The sewers can be accessed by purchasing entry from the SimuCoin store when Duskruin Arena is open.

Rat

Analyze

You analyze your sewer rat and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item has restrictions on changing the noun."

The creator has also provided the following information:

You could probably get a streaked sewer rat groomed by a special groomer, but groomers are not miracle workers.
It will likely still look dirty or grimy, and would probably bite off your hand if you tried putting silly hats or bows on it.

You could probably get it to be less loud by THUMPing it, or you could make it more excited by POKEing it.
If you find the sewer rat is becoming too annoying, confine it to a designated rat sack.

You can tell that the rat is as light as it can get.

LOOK IN SACK: The burlap sack is stuffed with a variety of shredded up paper and cloth, formed to make a crude smelly nest. Curled up inside the makeshift nest is a sewer rat.

CLEAN SACK (Third Person View): Person rummages around inside a coarse burlap sack, pulling out and discarding a few handfuls of foul smelling detritus.

Analyze

You analyze your burlap sack and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item type should not change."

The creator has also provided the following information:
This burlap sack is designed to hold a dirty pet rodent.
This item can be freely altered as long as it remains some kind of small belt-worn pouch or container.

You can tell that the cage is as light as it can get, but you might be able to have a talented merchant deepen its pockets for you.

Alteration Guidelines

  • Rats can only be altered via Sadie Scroll, due to the possibility of having to go through QC.
  • There is no hard list of what nouns rats can be altered into, but most anything that can be described as a 'rodent'.
  • Rodent sacks don't have to be altered, but if you do, it would be separate from the rat alteration.
  • Tails and pick-up locations can be changed to make sense with the noun that the rat is being altered to.
  • Due to only be alterable via Sadie Scroll, if you want your rodent to have both a long and a show, you would need to have two separate alterations done.
  • After altering a rat using a Sadie Scroll you will need to use the CLEAN verb to have the rat return to it's sack.
