Drinkin' Steins were released in Ebon Gate 2016 in their eponymous shop, sold and customized by the dwarf Steinmaker Purjus. They hold liquids, and are scripted to let the bearer give a toast. Unlocked steins have "over 30" toasts and can store a custom toast.

Analyze

You analyze your silver stein and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:
You get the distinct impression that this toasting stein may be altered fairly freely -- it just must make sense as a drink container that you can toast with!  Additionally, it cannot be a drink container that can logically be opened/closed (flask, drinking horn, etc.), as this item is stuck open!

Currently, this stein is Tier 2 (of 2), and you can TILT, PULL, PUSH, and RAISE it.

This stein is currently set with a custom toast for TILT.  Special merchant services may be able to customize the toast wording for you.

Example Messaging

Regardless of the verb used to activate the toast, the messaging essentially is the same:

First person untargeted:

You lift your silver stein upwards in a toast and proclaim:

   "While we are here, let us enjoy this drink so dear, and for those who are not, let them know they'll ne'er be forgot."

First person targeted:

You raise your silver stein in a toast for Farain and proclaim:

    "May you live as long as you want, and never want for as long as you live."

Third person:

Toaster raises his silver stein in a toast and proclaims:

   "While we are here, let us enjoy this drink so dear, and for those who are not, let them know they'll ne'er be forgot."

Unlocked
Tier 2
RAISE Random-er toast According to Purjus, over 30 random toasts are available for an unlocked stein. For example:
  • When the bottle is full, drink up, drink up. This may be the last time we see this cup. If Cholen wanted us sober, he'd knock our glass over, so while it is full, we drink up!
PULL Location-based toast
  • Default: To here and now. There's no bad place nor time to enjoy a drink!
  • Ta'Illistim: Here's to Ta'Illistim! May the beauty of this city be surpassed only by the beauty of this time.
  • Ta'Vaalor: To Ta'Vaalor! May all who pass through our fair lands never fail to do so.
TILT Custom toast Steinmaker Purjus (and perhaps other merchants) can add a custom toast to unlocked steins.
