The art of origami requires special Origami Paper. Origami Paper is sold in stacks with unlocks to add additional sheets, up to 500 sheets in one stack. You can PLUCK an individual piece of paper from the stack, and if you have trained in origami and learned some patterns, you can ORIGAMI FOLD an individual sheet.

In addition, paper that has been placed into an unlocked Origami Kit will be unlocked to the same level of the kit, opening up fluff verbs that vary depending on whether or not it is a stack of paper, an individual sheet of paper, or a sheet folded into an origami object. For an origami object, the fluff verbs have different messaging if you are a Nalfein (elf or half-elf), a burghal gnome, or an erithi.

Origami Paper is sold at The Folded Lotus at Rumor Woods, The Ghostly Lotus at Ebon Gate, and The Bloody Lotus at Duskruin.

Additional Information

Using the Paper

A stack of paper has 25 sheets off-the-shelf, with unlocks available to add more sheets, up to a total of 500. Stacks are not sellable by design; you can pawn an individual sheet if you so desire.

You can ORIGAMI FOLD to fold a sheet of paper into a known origami shape. ORIGAMI UNFOLD will unfold it back to a single sheet of paper. Paper will only have 5 folds in it. After you have used ORIGAMI FOLD 5 times, the paper can no longer be folded, but you can use it like paper and just write on it.

If you fold a piece that has been written on, you can tell there is writing, but you cannot read it until you unfold it

Unlocking the Paper

Unlocking certificates are available for Origami Paper, however their purpose is to expand the size of the paper stack up to 500 sheets total.

To acquire Tier 2 and up fluff verb unlocks, Origami Paper first must be stored inside an Origami Kit that has been unlocked to at least the same Tier.

Removing a single sheet or a full stack of sheets from the kit will unlock the paper to the unlock level of the kit. Removing a stack will restrict the stack to the same user account the kit is restricted to. Sheets removed individually (either from an unlocked stack or the kit itself) will not be restricted usage.
