Buyer's Choice - Rumor Woods 2023

The TownCrier put the call out for your favorite buys at the 2023 Rumor Woods Shops and here is the list for the Best of the Fest.

ITEM	RECOMMENDATIONS FROM ADVENTURERS	SHOP
Knitting needles	The Variable Pattern knitting needles are amazing... with a few unlocks, you can make all the clothing and containers a person could want!	Purls of Wisdom
Kindred Garb kilt and accesories	Balzi says he is a sucker for last call purchases from closing shops. "Nice to be properly repping the clan now." I know, right? I couldn't believe these two Kindred Garb Shops are on LAST RUN! The Tartan Cloth shop has coordinating items, too.	The Kindred Plaid Tartan Cloth
Starveil	Starveil is gorgeous. The absolute end. Find it at The Starry Lotus in select pieces of high-end jewelry, and a delicate heart-cut starveil bottle of perfume. Laelithonel's a big fan of it!	The Starry Lotus
Cheese Wheel	Say cheese! Get some milk, get some extra flavors, make your own cheesy treats! Share with your friends, or keep it all for yourself, it's cheese time and Traiva is planning the cheese platter already!	Milkin' It
Weight reduction	Not everyone can be born Giantkin, and for those of you who are not, getting the seamstress to fix up your favorite containers to reduce weight is a fine investment. Pay for as little or as much as you want. TIP: Use it on the container/s that stay fuller.	Couturier's Retreat
Origami	Trisscar reports that being able to fold up notes into special little shapes while having a personal flavor of color is a lot of fun.	The Folded Lotus
Starsong/Vethinye	Leafiara likes the new starsong/vethinye material. It has beautifully written, flavorful flares that don't take up the ability slot or script slot, leaving you to fill them as you see ifit! While some will fully upgrade starsong for a chance to flare multiple times, I like the value proposition of the OTS version as a base for a (relatively!) cheaper project piece.	The Starry Lotus
The common Rolton mount, the ewe	Jastalyn's Henrietta is more of a pet than a mount, even though we rode into the jousting field and dominated it! She likes to eat dandelions and clover. She doesn't like pets from strangers, but loves attention in general. When she isn't getting attention, she cavorts around on her own. She's an absolute joy. Oh, and I can milk her to make cheese and ice cream!	Rolton Pens
Yarn bowls	Traiva knows that knitting is a proven calming activity that leaves you with useful items. The yarn bowls are wonderful ways to store your yarn (up to 24 kinds!), along with darning awls and pincushions.	Purls of Wisdom
Gnomish Nail Press	This nail press is perfect for anyone who wants to dazzle with nails painted and gemmed to match their outfits. So many options and ways to style and profile and add character and flair to their look! Yardie gives it a rave rating.	Gnomish Gnails
Sound Charm Gadget	Who doesn't want their pretty charms to make sounds? The gadget comes off the shelf with 5 built-in sounds to choose from: ringing, mechanical clicking, sound of applause, sighing sound, and the sound of rustling wind. But in case you need more, you can add custom ones with the unlock certificates sold in the Charmed, I'm Sure shop.	Charmed, I'm Sure
Aelotoi Wing Jewels	Wing jewels are affordable, fluffy fun for the Aelotoi in your life! Leafiara suggests a second look at them: for just 750 raikhen to get them and their unlock, you get a new feature line in your look description plus over half a dozen new verbs to accentuate one of your most beautiful traits!	On the Wing
Cobbling Upper Maker Box	"It's a literal dream come true." Laelithonel was raving about the way this mechanism will take fabric and leather and make them into cobbling uppers. It comes with a variety of preset options for it.	Clodhoppers
WoodChopper Box	Ferghal says the box is so versatile, it turns wood and woody items into many different things. Heels for cobbling, twigs for rangers, bark for papermaking, beads for weaving, even lockmastery clasps, which might as well be paperweights. More material for cobbling, and easy mode for fletching. No more having to make shafts! You can get the shaft!	Woodn't Yew
Sparkle rocks	Sparkle rocks, beautiful, unique gems, are SO versatile! You can put them in jewelry, clothing, Deck the Halls STUFF, gear for your mount(s), add them to the NAIL POLISH, put them on your shoes ... Vyrshkana fears she's still probably forgetting things to do with them!	Gnomish Gnails
An Imbued Shroud	Imbued Shrouds are a great mixture of fluff and mechanical aspects in one item. Get to know the spirit within the shroud as you learn its story, while also taking advantage of the built-in storage and the shriek ability. This year, choose from: Distance, Hunger, Shadows, Secrets, and Wisdom in these tantalizing and creative moody roleplaying accessories.	The Spirits Within
Bug Collecting Jars	The Bugs on Parade Bug collection items may not be new this year, but they're more popular than ever. There's an event every month where people go out adventuring all over Elanthia to discover and capture new bugs for paper-making and gems. The gems can be used in your Joolas and weaving. There's so many bugs out there to admire and to send as messages.	Bugs on Parade
Let's Dance!	Miss Leafi has a new Festival Calculation: For raikhen paid per fluff verb unlocked, the Let's Dance! product lineup from the Whirl and Twirl shop takes the cake at just 100 for the base item and another 50 for each of up to ten dancing styles that have four verbs each! Choose from jewelry, accessories, or clothing items in a wide variety of inventory slots to not be intrusive. Now, show us your moves!	Whirl and Twirl
Cheese Wheel	Cheese. There is literally no other reason that is more acceptable than "cheese". Make. Your. Own. Cheese. Fear us now, Giant Rats!	Milkin' It
Milk Pail	Ferghal's having fun, "Because I am milking this item for all it's worth. No use crying over spilt milk after all." Couldn't have said it better!	Milkin' It
Ice cream churn	A perfect topping to a party is creatively made ice cream with some tasty toppings.	Legendairy
a gilded jar of rainbow sprinkles	"If you don't love rainbows and sprinkles you're basically a criminal." Signed, Laeli.	Legendairy
Holy Sheaths	Leafiara is quite the fan of Holy Sheaths. Since their introduction, Holy Sheaths have been a premier fluff sheath option! With flexibility both in inventory slot options and settings at each tier that you can toggle to customize how you brandish your weapon, there's something for anyone with a love of the divine!	Holy Sheaths
Flypaper tattoo	The concept is hands down brilliant and lovely whether you buy a design OTS or take a blank one home with you as a long-term labor of love project.	Flypaper Designers
Girlybird Earrings	The pair of spiraled silver horns at The Girlybird are simple perfection. Customizable, zesty, absolute fun. The zestier version of Earcaps (from EG, which are also another simple perfection), just with feathers!	The Girlybird
Holy Sheaths	Holy Sheath! It's holy sheaths. Sheaths that are holy. As in Terrant's holy sheaths. He likes multifunctional anything. Having a literal arsenal on him at all times carries with it the burden storage. I highly recommend getting a few for project's if not for yourself.	Holy Sheaths
Shank Knife	Terrant said it all: "Because shank knives"	Been Shanked Lately?
