Skin glue was first introduced at the Spitfire 2011 event by the merchant Tartingworth. With this glue one could adhere most normal gems to one's forehead. The glue came in four varieties:

  • a small glass vial of glue (1 dose) - 5,000 silvers
  • a thin blue tube of glue (5 doses) - 25,000 silvers
  • a type of rod
  • a small vial of shimmering blue glue (1 dose)

The three first types involves so-called regular glue - glue that will only last for a few hours (3) at a time. There will be a warning message before the gem drops off. If one has an empty hand, the gem will fall into that. Otherwise it'll fall to the ground.

The rods have no limit to how many times they can be used. The shimmering blue glue is a superior type of glue, meaning that the gem will adhere till removed. The rods and the superior glue could not be bought by ordinary means.

The shopkeeper also taught skin glue recipes to some alchemists.
