The Ribbonator 2000 is a device introduced at Ebon Gate 2019 by GM Thandiwe. It was sold for seashells at Ebon Gate 2019 and Ebon Gate 2020 in the Jangling Junker shop. The Ribbonator 2000 has two unlockable tiers. The unlock certificates were also sold in the Jangling Junker.

An unlock to create cobbling laces was sold in the Glass Slipper, and unlocks to create laceable clothing ribbons and weaving ribbons were sold in the Jangling Junker. As of 2022, the Ribbonator and it's unlock certificates are sold in Quinton Manse's Sitting Room, at Evermore Hollow during the Ebon Gate festivities in October.

Welcome to the one, the only, and the never before seen "Ribbonator 2000"! This incredible, amazing, and often underestimated, item will thrill you with its ability to change ordinary fabric items into simple ribbons. That's right, Elysia! It makes ribbons!

That's right, Elysia, it is that simple! Please note, if you put "a pair of purple felt pants" into the Ribbonator, it will strip the color from the felt and only give you "a felt ribbon." In order to add color, you must use Alchemy Dye or Cobbling Dye. Vials of dye must have 5 doses as 1 dose is enough for 2 ribbons, but most items will create 10 ribbons.

Altering Instructions: The Ribbonator must always be a box of some kind and must always be belt-worn. Due to its complicated (patent pending) dials, chambers, switches, and toggles, it can never support a SHOW DESCRIPTION, but it can handle long descriptions. Disclaimers: The Ribbonator is a sensitive device and as such its creators wish to remind you that it is made for good fun. As a result, it has restrictions on it to prevent the harm of small children and animals. The creators do not want any accusations of "The Ribbonator ate my baby!" Please be sure to always use the Ribbonator appropriately. Remember that all materials placed in the Ribbonator will, once the device is activated, be utterly demolished! Do not place your hands in the device while it is in use as the creators will not be held responsible for missing digits. And, for the love of all that is holy, do not bring a fork anywhere near it. Do not use in the baths as the creators will not be held responsible for what may happen. For your safety do not break these rules. Tier 1

Additional InformationShowThe Ribbonator 2000 has a hard-coded show that is part of its design. Bolded portions may vary based on different settings or contents. Approximately two hands high and six across, the wooden box is an interesting device. Two glass buttons blink in tandem on the back of the box; the dull blue one blinks over a small drawer and the faint silver one flashes over a panel. Positioned between the two is a turn style knob that sits above a small window with the words, "Groovy Ribbons" positioned in its center. At the top of the piece is a small door that dominates seven-eighths of the expanse, with the remaining space being occupied by a large, round lid. A window on the right side provides a view of an empty chamber, while the one on the left shows the equally as empty glossy interior. Along the lower edge is a copper plate that reads, "Ribbonator 5120," a slide lever positioned at the words, "Color and Fabric," and a small switch that is flipped down. Fabric GuidelinesIn general, the box will accept cloth items as described below. ClothingThe item must contain a ONLY the cloth noun in the middle 15 of the item's base description (i.e. "a brown,linen,shirt"), and be unscripted/unzested. It must INSPECT as "mainly crafted out of cloth". It is acceptable if the clothing item has a long description or show description, as long as it meets the cloth word requirement in the middle 15 of the base short item name. TAP <fabric> <noun> is the quickest way to test this on items with long descriptions. Bolts of FabricThe Solhaven shop Maellyn's Fabrics sells bolts of fabric that have been updated to work with the Ribbonator 2000. Each bolt of fabric will produce 10 ribbons. Any bolt of fabric must INSPECT as "mainly crafted out of cloth" or it will not work. The Ribbonator will accept fabric materials sold as cobbling supplies, as long as the fabric type is on the permitted fabrics list. Fabric TypesThe following fabric types are known to be accepted by the Ribbonator: angora wool, aqilorn, baft, baize, baldachin, batiste, baudekin, bourde, broadcloth, brocade, brocatelle, buckram, burel, burlap, burnet, burnt velvet, byssine, byssus, caddas, caddis, calico, camaca, cambric, cameline, camlet, canvas, cendal, chainsil, chambray, charmeuse, checkery, chiffon, chintz, cire, cordetum, cotton, dagswain, damask, dimity, dupioni silk, elesine, faille, falding, felt, figured camlet, figured silk, figury, flannel, flax, flyrsilk, frieze, fustian, gauze, gingerline, gingham, gossamer, grosgrain, gunny, gunny cloth, haircloth, herringbone lace, jacquard, kersey, lace, lacebark, lamb's wool, lampas, lawn, linen, linsey, linsey-woolsey, lotus silk, lyraigne, malghavan wool, marbrinus, mock velvet, moire silk, moreen, muslin, nacre velvet, naraina, noil, oilcloth, organdy, organza, paeline, paisley, pashmina, perse, plumille, plunket, porraye, ramie linen, ramie silk, ray, ridgeweaver silk, rolton wool, ruhani wool, russet, sailcloth, samite, sarcenet, satin, sea silk, shalloon, silk, silk satin, silk taffeta, silk velvet, sindon, sisken, spidersilk, tabby, taffeta, tapestry, tartan, tatted lace, tatting, tiretaine, toile, tulle, tweed, tweel, twill, velour, velvet, velveteen, vervise, watchet, water camlet, watered silk, waved camlet, wild silk, wool, woolen, and worsted
Dye GuidelinesAll alchemy and cobbling dyes will work. The dye vial should have 5 doses before you pour it into the box. Cobbling dyes, in particular, can be ordered in the cobbling shops in many towns, including additional colors available in the backrooms of the warehouse shops, in the cobbling shop on South Ring Road in Wehnimer's Landing, and on the seasonal cobbling cart in Mist Harbor. Cobbling dyes are frequently sold at festivals, as well. Charging the BoxSilver wands should have 10 charges, or the results will be unpredictable. Zesting the RibbonsBlue crystals are used to add the selected zest to the ribbon output. Bound blue crystals from the BOOST system work, in addition to standard blue crystals found via the treasure system. If a blue crystal is not present or the crystal isn't sufficiently charged, the ribbon created by TURN will not be zested (scripted), regardless of the current ribbon type setting on the box. PINCH will remove the blue crystal and should be used after every ribbon to ensure charges remain. ResourcesSee Also |
