• Yes, blood bands are leg armor like greaves. Discord

Posturing with New Flavor Messaging

Equipment can now change the flavor of your Stance verbose messaging! GM Thandiwe teases the Kraet Length Hasta, and mentions that similar options will be found in three other shops, including Get Thee Behind Me's Pocketed Shield.

Animalistic Spirit Headgear by GM Avaluka

A head-worn addition to the Animalistic Spirit line, visible in your inventory above your features, with temporary eye colors, and an unlockable SMRv2 attack, and a new feathery friend teased in the messaging.

Analyze and some verb samples: Official Forum Post

Additional Information: Discord Discussion

• It will still just be functional headwear. Unless you buy the one that is a helmet/helm, they won't interfere with the actual armor coverage.
• The items you imprint have to be attuned to you for the imprint to take, so you can't go collecting spirits from everyone else's items.
• On POINT: It'll remember that other description until you manually make it forget with CLEAN.
• Feral is hard-coded, yes. The color will change to whatever spirit color you have.

Morphing Runestaff update by GM Thandiwe

A total refresh and more flexibility for both forms to bring the script in line with modern standards, as well as a brand new shop including an unlock certificate for eight new verbs. Not to worry, existing staves will be updated automatically. Once the update is live REGISTER your item, then morph and unmorph it.

Beatie Baby by GM Ivry

Clockwork assistants for rhythmic assistance; Rhythmic Focus to improve your chances with Purification Song (1004), available from Metrognomies.

Main Post by Ivry: Official Forum Post
Discord Discussion

• 1x/day, does not stack (refreshes), can't be combined.
• Work if you're casting 1004 from a scroll or magic item.
• Gem singing success = Better odds at not blowing them up, and hopefully going even further in successfully purifying.

Flare Affinity by APM Estild

A new subscript to add some oomph to category B flares will be introduced in limited quantities at Duskruin Mania.

Main Post by Estild: Official Forum Post
Discord Discussion

• It should work with any other script.
• It does not flare on every attack.
• As an example, you could add it to a Greater Elemental Weapon, and it would boost the standard flares part of weapon, but not the GE flares.
• If they're standard flares (category B), it'll increase the odds of anything other than Death flares. If the flares also deal damage, it'll also increase their potency.
• The increased frequency is the same as Item Superchargers. The increased potency causes all the flares to be rank 5-9 (before padding, resistance, randomization, etc) (see clip for examples).
• Only one subscript per item.

Crested Helm by GM Xayle

A real feather in your cap, it's time for fancy helms and suchwhat! New helmets which can have a decorative crest, plume, or topknot added.

Fighting Knife by GM Sindin

Rough and tumble? Picking fights? Need to make sure everyone around you knows? Challenge friend and foe alike to a knife fight! Knives!

• Script slot yes... flares are up to you.
