Borrowed Plumes Masques were introduced at Ebon Gate in 2023 and sold in the shop Borrowed Plumes. They are masks that can be held with a stick or worn. In addition to altering them normally, their stick and bindings can be customized. When worn, they show up in the unique feature line. The way they appear in the unique feature line can also be customized. They cannot be worn at the same time as other items that modify the unique feature line.

Tier 1

OTS/Tier 1, the mask can be fully customized and comes with six verbs.

Analyze

You analyze the rose gold web mask and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

You get no sense of whether or not the mask may be further lightened.
