Sai Hairsticks are temporary feature-changing items with set hairstyle types, which debuted at Ebon Gate 2009, created by GM Xynwen for the EG 2009 Auction (the original 2 sets auctioned off have a custom loresong telling the story of The Jade Heart and the Blue Lotus). They later reappeared at A Midsummer Night's Festival 2018 in the shop Carry a Big Stick. They are similar to hairsticks (non-weapon, cosmetic), hair combs, hairjewels, hair flowers, and snoods, but differ in that they can be SLAPped to make a pair of sai, which are brawling weapons. Note, sai are not compatible with the unarmed combat system. These are erithian hairsticks.
2023 Updates: These were updated in 2023 and going forward, they may be released with small, bladed weapons other than sai.
Carry A Big Stick Info: All the hairsticks split into a pair of 4x enchanted sai, except for the faenor (+16), imflass (+17), and vaalorn (+18). Per the merchant Twigxt, each can be enchanted and weighted separately, but not in the combined hairsticks form. These hairsticks and sai are sold as-is and cannot be altered by any merchant.
Hairsticks
When worn and PUSHed, the hairsticks cycle through seven different hairstyles. Alternatively, TURN # MY HAIRSTICK will allow the player to select a hairstyle by number. Erithians get extra flavor with TAP.
