ITEM	RECOMMENDATIONS FROM ADVENTURERS	SHOP
Wings!	Get them Light, get them Dark, Get them both and trick them out! These wings are not just for looks. Every tier brings something to the party!	Pinions and Pulse
Survivalist's Kit	These are the single most awesomest item that has come out of the minds of GMs for a LONG time. Being able to carry around so many herbs, at such little weight, in both solid and liquid forms, is a game-changer. 11/10, will recommend again, and again, and again!	The Herbal Huntsman
The animalistic set of gear	Darrgo: Animalistic Gear has something for Melee, Ranged, or Magic Users - there may be more expensive options that are better out there, but for someone new that can save up, the Animalistic Spirit line is a great place to start and grow with!	Untamed Spirit and Wild Instinct
Energy Wings	Fulmen: It's an extremely useful item for ambushing heads, even at T1, so for 10k you get 30 seconds of flight (then 60 sec cooldown after) and can whack monsters on the head. It's a very cheap solution for what used to be a very expensive problem to solve. Compared to a gnomish harness, it's a steal. Plus, you get the offensive flare on T1 and the higher tiers are great for attack/defense abilities too.	Pinions and Pulse
Fighting Fan	Traiva: We go through this EVERY TIME: Dance your way across the battlefield with fighting fans! When closed, they're a blackjack with electric flares, and when opened, a katar with, appropriately, air flares. Unlocking tiers unlocks special SMR attacks that give even more style. Stun your enemies with the grace of Fighting Fans!	Sparrow's Dance
Flare Gloves	NecroDeus: So having a dispell/acuity/magma when ever I want/need something I got it no matter what weapon im covered... leveling up an alt? want acuity flares or dispell flares so you can melt though things this is the one item to rule them all.... wait where did all my BloodScrip go?..... taking donations!	Right to Flare Arms
Fancy Stancing Flourish (a delicate vellum certificate)	Leafiara: The Fancy Stancing Flourish is one of the best fluff purchases around because it shows itself off whenever you change stance--something that most builds already do a lot of! If you like visualizing your character in combat, give this a look on the wiki and see if the messaging suits you!	Certifiable
Buxom Buccaneers Skirt Pirate props	Traiva: The Yarrpee Shoppe is closing forever after this run, so make sure to get all your pirate-y gear while you can. The Buxom Bucaneer skirts are super cute and super functional while out on the seas, and are great for holding a dagger or small knife at the ready.	Yarrrpee Shoppe
Large Capacity Gem Jars	Get 100 or 50 count capacity gem jars while you can, at Spellbound. They are only available twice a year.	Spellbound
Mystic Phrases Spell Preps	Leafiara: Need some spell preps? Check out Mystic Phrases! This shop used to specialize mostly in paladin and ranger preps, which are all still there, but expanded over the years to include lots of fun, flavorful messaging for just about anyone. And they're only 750 bloodscrip each, cheaper than the 1000 raikhen you'd be paying for the options available at Rumor Woods!	Mystic Phrases
Cash’lo’nae	Lucullan: Goes without saying that everyone needs that Fash'lo'nae Tutelage in the SimuCoin Shop to boost all the experience. For weeks - no, for months!	Simucoin Shop
Energy Wings	Leafiara: I'm assuming that ten other people will play up the mechanical benefits and they're all correct, so I want to highlight something else! Even if Energy Wings did nothing in combat instead of amazing things, this is the kind of fluff I would still be buying to at least T2 because the verbs are fantastic and so is adding to your LOOK description if you can! (Check the wiki page for a list of conflicting things that add unique feature lines.) Give the messaging a read and see if you'd like to fly high!	Pinions and Pulse
WPS	Out there in the wilds on a dangerous mission, you need to stay alive against tricksy foes. Remember to get your extra armor padding from the Smithy under the Arena. Take advantage of new window pricing on WPS today, and again on March 1.	WPS smithy
Animalistic Totems	Leafiara: For 3500 bloodscrip total, Animalistic Totems with a movement style unlock cost are by far the most inexpensive way to walk around in style--we're talking six-digit savings here--and yet are also the coolest! Customize the animal spirit that follows you and create something uniquely your own. You could even make a menagerie of four more animal spirits for 500 bloodscrip each to suit your mood!	Totemic Spirits
Basic Gown flourish	Lissaya: Have an old skirt, gown, petticoat, or chemise that needs some love? Now with the Basic Gown flourish, you can add verb traps for PULL, PUSH, RUB, and TURN to your items as a flourish! It will work on all of the following items: skirt, skirts, wrap-skirt, underskirt, underskirts, petticoat, petticoats, overskirt, overskirts, gown, ballgown, bliaut, chemise, cotehardie, dress, frock, houppelande, kirtle, sundress, and train.	With a Flourish)"
Weight-Shaving Gravers	Use the miniature pounce pot unlock on your Graver from the Make Your Mark shop to allow it to hollow out those heavy adventureables up to 5 times a day: small statues, heavy moonstone cubes, and heavy quartz orbs. You'll be shaving off pounds each time.	Make Your Mark
With a Flourish flourishes	Leafiara: With a Flourish hosts numerous amazing fluff flourishes new and old for 500 to 2500 bloodscrip. I highly recommend looking through every one of them to find the best purchases for you! Other than the incredible Elemental Fluff Jewelry at Ebon Gate, I know of nothing else in the game that can even compete with these flourishes for sheer number of verbs per pay event currency--and you're adding all those verbs to what are probably already your most cherished and most used items!	With a Flourish
Fyrswn'ava	Traiva: This is a material flare, so won't interfere with scripts like Animalistic, Phytomorphic, or Sigil, or the like. Watching the beautiful celadon sap lash out and trap (root) or blind your opponent is great... getting the greater version that will also terrify, confuse, or clumsify is even better. Plus, the wood is cultivated by Aelotoi horticulturalists, and we all know Aelotoi are awesome. (This author may be very biased.)	The Celadon Thread
Buxom Buccaneer Skirts	Leafiara: Visceral. Fearless. Stylish. Liberating. Dangerous. Buccaneer Skirts! Available at Duskruin now for the last time. Hide your dagger, flaunt a leg, sail the seas, plunder pirate ships, and use the riches to fund all the alters you'll need for the best skirt you'll ever have! Don't miss out.	Yarrrpee Shoppe
Energy Wings	Daenamaryllis: Energy Wings are a great item that offers excellent abilities for use during combat on reasonable cooldown timers that don't feel oppressive. The abilities are strong enough to aid you in the most challenging ascension hunting grounds or just starting out at level 1. The evasiveness on demand buff they provide is truly an outstanding ability as it allows you to block any attack, cman, or spell. This is an incredibly strong offering at 40k (less if attuned) bloodscrip if you choose to fully unlock it which I highly recommend.	Pinions and Pulse
Material Purification PSA	Leafi's careful Bloodscrip PSA: If you're considering material purification or intermediate transmutes to a purifiable material, look closely at base properties of items and understand the differences between transmutation types. Sigil and Daybringer offer faewood runestaff options OTS and there's the Greater Rhimar lineup of weapons, which are, of course, rhimar. On the other hand, Energy Shields and realm flaring UC gear at Duskruin have long descriptions that indicate accents of zorchar, drakar, eonake, etc., but their base materials in the INSPECT aren't purifiable. Lesser transmutation is cheaper than intermediate transmutation, but can only be done if the item already has properties in line with the final material. For example, you could lesser transmute a white ora Daybringer sledgehammer into eonake since it's already holy, but other Daybringer weapons would need an intermediate transmute to become eonake. If you added lightning flares to your (for example) Animalistic Spirit weapon's ability slot in the past, you can lesser transmute it into zorchar for less than the price of an intermediate transmute. However, if you've been using an Animalistic Spirit weapon with an empty ability slot, then an intermediate transmute to zorchar is less than the price of adding lightning flares and doing a lesser transmute. Don't get tripped up!	HESS
Buxom Buccaneers Skirt	Lissaya: This is your last chance for the Buxom Buccaneers line at DR as the shop is closing this run. The skirt in particular has some very fun scripts when sheathing (PUSH) or brandishing (PULL) a dagger, and they differ if you are on land or on a ship! You can even POINT it at a TARGET for some extra sass.	Yarrrpee Shoppe
a slender pyinma branch and a thin fyrswn'ava branch	Traiva: Stock up on these alter fodder pieces, especially the non-mechanical fyrswn'ava that MUST be supplied. While pyinma (crepe myrtle lumber) may not always be needed, if you want to add the beauty of the cultivated fyrswn'ava to your life, you will need to supply some! (Information on the appearance of both woods: Fyrswn'ava Notes )	The Celadon Thread
Energy Wings	Gawyane: Energy Wing are a great mechanical AND fluff item for an amazing price!	Pinions and Pulse
Energy Wings!	Riend: The light version of these wings, even off the shelf, have really great synergy for ambushing rogues hunting tall creatures! 30s of flying every 90s allows you to hit those gigas in the eyes with your stabbity stabs without having to take them down to your level first.	Pinions and Pulse
Energy Wings	Vorlash: What a fantastic price for fantastic cooldowns and abilities.	Pinions and Pulse
Greater Lathonian Armor	Aikei: I first bought some lathonian double leather on a whim but I could not be more pleased with how it has performed on an Empath. I cannot even count how many times my greater lathonian leathers have saved me from SMR attacks and open rolls. Watching the baddies disappear into the void is always good for a laugh.	The Demon Drop
Alcohol Still	Riend: The alcohol still is a great crafting item that allows you to create custom drinks and vinegars to share with friends.	Be Still My Hops
Bottletraption	Riend: The bottletraption really lets you customize how your alcohol, vinegar and jams can show up, opening up any number of rp avenues. Start your own distillery! Have a farm stand!	Be Still My Hops
Buxom Buccaneers Skirt	Riend: These skirts are easy to customize and have some really fun scripts!	Yarrrpee Shoppe
