Custom Settings

Custom settings can be engravings similar to gemcutter patterns or other metal finishings.

The settings are not limited to 15 characters but should not be too long. This is due to a limit on the total characters on the finished shoe. Having a setting that is too long can potentially push some other things out on a completed shoe.

Patterns Unlock

An unlock is available that allows a user to choose a design via the WHISPER verb and an imprint method via the ATTEND.

Imprint methods:

carved etched motif scratched
cut gouged outlined stamped
enameled inscribed painted stenciled
engraved incised patterned traced

Snap-on Heels unlock

A certificate is available to unlock the ability to make Snap-on Heels with the cobbling plates maker box. FLIP will toggle whether a set of plates or a pair of heels is made.

Note: Only the middle 15 characters of the 15/15/15 description of the heels will transfer to the cobbled shoe. The middle 15 characters will always include the metal. Any chosen option or design that is more than 15 characters with the metal will be truncated to just the metal.

The look of the metal box can be altered by any merchant, but should remain a box.
