Arkati Prayer Beads are specialty prayer beads. They were sold by hand by the merchant Kaelypso at Ebon Gate 2019. The beads are character-attuned, but not in the traditional sense. Once worn, it will take 24 hours for the attunement process to complete. This allows for the transfer of the item to a new owner yet curtails sharing the beads between characters for purposes of the enhancive bonus. It also limits usage of the item per day.

Tier 1

Each verb trap has multiple possible messages with some mild variation by Arkati. A merchant can lock it to a specific message at request.
