Alter fodder

Alter fodder is a colloquial term for items of various rare materials kept by players primarily for use in alterations. Alteration guidelines 40-45 focus on materials and outline the requirement to provide a merchant with alter fodder when making certain modifications to items. Items noted as Rarity 8 ("very rare") or higher always require alter fodder to be provided. This information can be viewed on the Material Rarity and Use Tables. The quantity of alter fodder needed may depend on the particular item being worked on.

Items made of rare materials may be found in the treasure system or rarely purchased in certain shops and kept or traded between players for use as alter fodder. "Pure" alter fodder items, that have no other use except to be provided for alteration, may be purchased at Ebon Gate, however they have been available as prizes from various games in the past. The Antiquarian found at Ebon Gate in Antiquarian Manor, will allow for the conversion of items into pure alter fodder, while the Antiquarian's Apparatus, found at same can be used to store alter fodder efficiently.

Alteration scrolls (Sadie scrolls) are not capable of accepting alter fodder.

Aldoran wool	Fabric	N	Wool spun from the sea-horned goat.

Auroralaen	Fabric	Y	Auroralaen is as light as chainsil and as comfortable as silk. Soft and smoothly woven, the fabric is airy and breathable. However, it does not take to the dyeing process at all and instead maintains the pattern and semblance of the skies of Naidem. Indeed, the aurora-kissed fabric can even be different depending on where in Naidem it was produced. If the weaver was from the Winterbriar neighborhoods, then the fabric could have more of the cool cerulean and teal hues, while if they were from the Orchard it could have more fuchsia, violet, or coral hues.
