Custom Tangleweed is a type of advanced spell customization that changes the appearance of the vine cast via the Tangleweed (610). Pre-written custom tangleweeds are available at various festivals, pay events, and at Bayview Villa on Mist Harbor. Fully custom tangleweeds are a delayed service when the player is writing their own. Custom tangleweed is part of the Player Customization System and is managed via the CUSTOM verb.

Custom tangleweed sets consist of two different vine appearances:

  • Defensive (entangling) vine
  • Offensive (damaging) vine

Custom tangleweeds support long descriptions. They must be some sort of naturally occurring vine and have some sort of damaging structure for the offensive version of the spell. Unnaturally occurring vines have been made available at special events when thematically appropriate.

Examples of custom tangleweed sets include the following from options available at Rumor Woods:

Entangling vine: a clockwerke brass-bladed vine with segmented metallic plates
Damaging vine: a whirling clockwerke brass-bladed vine segmented with metallic plates

Entangling vine: an elongated tendril of Nalfein ivy engulfed in blackened corbeau thorns
Damaging vine: an undulating tendril of Nalfein ivy engulfed in serrated thorns

Entangling vine: a blossom-laden ivory clematis creeper interspersed with tiny thorns
Damaging vine: a writhing clematis-laden creeper interspersed with wickedly curved thorns

Entangling vine: a vivid green ghostvine creeper dotted with tiny blue flowers
Damaging vine: a lashing spike of ghostvine bristling with tiny thorns

Entangling vine: a wintercreeper vine sporting white-hearted green scallop-edged leaves
Damaging vine: a flailing wintercreeper vine sporting white-hearted green serrated leaves

Additional examples of pre-written custom tangleweeds can be viewed in the character customizations category, such as with the Rumor Woods 2024 custom tangleweeds.
