The Best of Duskruin Shopping for Fall 2021
TITLE | ITEM DETAILS | SHOP | Map Room |
POW! BAM! ZAP! | Bare Aggression's flaring UAC gear delivers reasonable flavor and power for only 250 bloodscrip--less than one perfect arena win! For those on a budget, this longstanding lineup deserves a second look in light of PSM3 weapon techniques and pending bless changes. Look twice at those charcoal suede buskins with narrow silver cording. Lightning flares are the most lethal of the available elements, by the way! (And even GM Naijin agrees!) | BVShop:Bare Aggression | Map 7, Lich 26886 go knotty hall |
CUTLERY OF DEATH | Tlalja suggested, "Those Fighting Knives are fun in the field and with your frenemies." Look for your set at The Knifery. Double your fun! | BVShop:The Knifery | Map 15, Lich 26861, go little shack |
BOOKS BY HAND | Books and volumes, oh my! The Written Word will make a custom made journal for you. It's perfect for journaling or sketchbooks. Choose your cover, choose your paper, ask the clerk about journal, and TADA! Your own personalized book. Or buy multiples, and publish your own Elanthian stories! Maevie endorsed them, "I just love them and have to have them all." Note: This is their last appearance at Duskruin. | BVShop:Written Word | Map 2, Lich 25188, go small shop |
FLARES FOR THE PLACE | For going beyond the basics with a foray into fancy gear that won't break the bank, the Rock Solid shop delivers exactly as advertised with its realm flaring gear for a mere 2000 bloodscrip. Leafiara told us, "Though they're not great project pieces, they're an amazing off-the-shelf value with +25 enchants and flares tailored to the area. No hassle with tiers or unlocks, either!" Look up what flares they have in which locations at the wiki: | BVShop:Rock Solid | Map 23, 26840, go granite wagon |
LIVING QUILLS | The Zoetic Quills at Cacographic Critters continue to amaze shoppers. Maevie said, "They are soooo creepy but captivating! It's just the right touch for the stylishly morbid writers and artists!" Plus, they're wearable, feedable, and oh-so-zesty. | BVShop:Cacographic Critters | Map 8, Lich 26888, go ramshackle shed |
VOILA! | An anonymous customer raved about the morphing runestaves, "These things are so. freaking. AWESOME. You can wear them (non-functional when worn!), and then for just 5 mana, you get a runestaff in your hand! No need to keep a runestaff in your cloak/sheath/sacks/whatever... have it live on your arm/head/waist instead!" Pick yours up at The Modern Morph shop. | BVShop:The Modern Morph | Map 14, Lich 26867, go ramshackle shop |
ANIMAL SPIRIT TIP | Did you know that changing Animalistic Spirit flares' damage type also changes the messaging? Check out the options here in the "End of Animal Fury Flare Messaging" table and tailor your gear even more to your liking than ever! | BVShop:Untamed Spirit | Map 18, Lich 26874,go stone hut |
FLARED STYLE | Leafiara has high praises for Fatal Afflares, "The shop brings new (and old) custom flare messaging so spectacular I'm considering flare types I'd never thought about! Fire flares have never looked so good. Meanwhile, the options for water and magma, flare types that historically have only been at Ebon Gate, already have me hoping to get lucky there in two months." Add more pizazz each time your gear flares for high style points in combat. | BVShop:Fatal Afflares | Map 8, Lich 26893, go dark structure |
CRYSTAL CLEAR DEAL | The Back Room at Gamac's Goods features magic crystals! Light weight, a crescentic wintry blue crystal holds Mystic Focus and adds +10 to CS for five minutes. Combined with the crystal holding jewelry (also sold there) there is easy access to respell during battle. Maevie gave it great reviews, "Low weight, low cost, common at festivals, and still a great tool." | BVShop:Gamac's Goods | Map 21, Lich 26837, go stone shop |
ESSENCETIAL OFFENSE | Hand Pylons are amazing! You wear it, load it up with elemental essences, and then, BAM, you just point it at yer enemy, and they get all kindsa elemental stuff in der face. One shopper was overheard as they left the Essencetials shop with their hand pylon in hand, "And, did I mention, it's WORN... you don't even need a free hand to use it!" Elemental Essences, not just for the Alchemist anymore, right? | BVShop:Essencetials | Map 20, Lich 26863, go dark pavilion |
MAJOR FAN | Luxelle raved about the fans at Sparrow's Dace, "Exquisitely styled and zested fans let you up your roleplaying game with a flick of the wrist. PLUS, they are also very special weapons!" Get one for each hand for more effects, and dance your way to glory against any and all comers. | BVShop:Sparrow's Dance | Map 16, Lich 26877, go haon shop |
SPIRITED ENDORSEMENT | Two cloven hooves up for the shop Heady Spirits! The new Animalistic Spirit headgear will bring your character using accompanying weapons, shields, and armor up to beast mode. Leifa compliments them with, "I especially love the Animalistic Avatar feature unlock which will scare the bejabbers out of your opponents! Get in touch with your feral side and pick one up today!" | BVShop:Heady Spirits | Map 18, Lich 26874, go stone shed |
BIRTH OF A LEGEND | With patience, the sleek orase runestaff capped with a moon-shaped silver orb at Untamed Spirit is the opportunity to create a legendary weapon. The animalistic spirit is amazing in battle, and fun to RP with to boot. As a bonus it now interacts with other animalistic spirit items! Time for me to get a headdress. | BVShop:Untamed Spirit | Map 18, Lich 26874, go stone hut |
CROWNING SPIRITS | Heady Spirit has toppers for your Animalistic Spirit gear to make your other Animalistic gear even better. From the zests to the SMRV2 attack, from the settings for which animal to use to the customizations, choose one that speaks to you and become one with the wild! | BVShop:Heady Spirits | Map 18, Lich 26874, go stone shed |
PLUS ONE | Eklectic recommends the High End Scrip Shop enchanting certificates. They come in +1 or +5 and let you to get enchanting on items, regardless of their difficulty. | Duskruin Arena/August 2021 High End Scrip Shop List | Map H, Lich 23773, go dim tunnel |
FLASHY DAGGERS | Leafiara has some great advice, "I'm sure others will talk up the Knifery's daggers for the price, flares, and verbs, but I want to also mention the stellar selection of weapon metals. Mithril is the mechanical best, being the easiest to improve further, but the other four--faenor, kelyn, rolaren, and eahnor--have strong lore to give RP allure. Expertly designed selection! Kelyn is my favorite as it's most associated with lockpicks, which are most associated with rogues, who are often associated with daggers." | BVShop:The Knifery | Map 15, Lich 26861, go little shack |
LORETASTIC | Tailored to the Lore of your choice, the magic slings at Art of Lore make carrying a rune staff easy. Maevie adds, "No more stuffing in your cloak or backpack and having an unseemly bulge! As a bonus they even add a great aesthetic quality depending on unlocks and lore training." Get an extra magic special effect to your runestaff when you pull it out or put it away. | BVShop:Art of Lore | Map 15, Lich 26862, go rickety stairs |
QUICK CHANGE | Almond Cookie pointed out, "While the shimmering trinket is amazing, my favorite are the unlocks for it. One outfit is nice, choosing between several? Exciting. You can dress like a pirate, or a bum. Having tea with a royal? Voila… you can instantly look like the belle of the ball without stopping to change before hunting bandits." Shimmer Trinkets are sold in Spellbound. | BVShop:Spellbound | Map 16, Lich 26877, go narrow space |
PORTRAIT MAGIC | Explore one of the best roleplaying tools in GemStone before the shop closes at the end of this Duskruin - the Artist's easels at A Moment in time. | BVShop:A Moment in Time | Map (2 rooms before Gate to Village, Lich 26903, go dark studio |
ELVEN ARMOR | Aetheri suggests the Elven armor: "The eahnor-layered scalemail arranged in a viperskin pattern is excellent armor for a spell-casting semi-class such as a ranger, rogue, or bard and it has a whole bunch of scripts for different elven cultures. An Ardenai ranger's scripts will look different than a Loenthra, Illistimi, Vaalor, or Nalfein." Plus ... Elven armor has all the enchanting advantages. On sale at The Vaalin Rose | BVShop:The Vaalin Rose | Map 12, Lich 26884, go veniom-plated airship |
HIDDEN GEM | Smuggling sacks from Covert Couriers allow you to hide an item for a specific person. "They're great for moving an item between alts if you don't have an entourage. Plus, it's just fun to hide something in TSC that no one else can get but your intended target. At only 175 scrip, they are also one of the cheapest things around the village." Solvan said he bought a few! | BVShop:Covert Couriers | Map 1, Lich 26847, in the decrepit warehouse |
