Revision as of 09:45, 8 January 2026 by HOST-GSKEBECHET (talk | contribs) (I have confirmed that the Portable Tub script encompasses both full-sized tubs and smaller wash basins. This is the same script. Combining with additional verb messaging originally added on "Rub-a-dub-dub basin".)

A Portable Tub is a scripted placeable water container. They come in two different sizes: full-sized tubs and smaller wash basins. The noun determines the size and its function. After filling it with water via Minor Water (903) or an aquamarine wand, the water can be left cool or warmed via a spell such as Minor Fire (906) or a golden wand. Both sizes of Portable Tubs are sold in the Rub-a-dub-dub shop in Evermore Hollow during Ebon Gate.

Portable Tub

Portable tubs are larger than basins and allow a person to fully submerge in them.

Analyze

You take a closer look at a claw-foot white metal tub.
You analyze the white metal tub and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This is a portable tub that can be filled with water via spell 903 (Minor Water) for washing up.  The water can be warmed via spell 906 (Minor Fire).  Fully improved versions support scenting the water with perfume.

Once filled with water, you may place it on the floor.  GETting it will empty the water.  DO NOT leave the tub unattended for more than 5 minutes or it can be swept up by the janitor.

This white metal tub has not been unlocked.  Seek out an unlock certificate.

Any merchant may alter the short, long, or show description of the tub, but the item must remain some sort of tub that you could sit in.
The tub does not currently have custom SIT messaging.  A talented merchant could add it for you.
You get no sense of whether or not the tub may be further lightened.
