Papermaker
|
The Papermaker is a highly scripted crafting tool that can make paper and paper products. It was first introduced in 2022 during Rings of Lumnis, where it was first sold in the In Print Condition shop on the Isle of Ornath's shopping center, Agora Promenade for 350,000 silvers. Since 2025, it is now available only in the Rumor Woods shop named Enlightened Pages for raikhen. The Papermaker requires bark, water, and charges to function. Bark is chopped into pulp as the base material for paper products. Water, which is used to turn the bark into pulp, can be added manually with plain water or magically via Holy Bolt (306) or Minor Water (903). Charges can be increased by putting silver wands into the box or by casting Minor Shock (901). Paper can be dyed by adding alchemy dye or cobbling dye. Dyer's tent dye will need to be converted to alchemy dye first by visiting the dyer and using ORDER BOTTLE while holding the dye in hand. If a dye is not present, the paper item will default to "white" for its color. Higher tier unlocks expand what can be added to the Papermaker, such as perfumes, wax, and specialty natural fibers for certain paper types, in addition to expanding paper and paper items it can make. The Papermaker has had a number of expansions and updates since it first debuted, including the addition of more tiers capable of creating new types of paper items. Its Tier 8 and Tier 9 unlocks were announced as its final update and were released at Rumor Woods in 2026. AnalyzeThe Papermaker was created by the Order of the Lumnasi Viragos on the Isle of Ornath.

Stationery paper is capable of using Papermaker article and noun options. It can use a dye to change its default color. It can also support perfume added via the Papermaker (requires Tier 2). Additional unlocks expand what can be added as optional materials, some of which use new verbs while others rely on PUT.Usage
Tier 2 - Mail PaperAt Tier 2, the Papermaker gains the ability to make mail paper. Mail paper is capable of using Papermaker article and noun options. It can use a dye to change its default color. It can also support perfume added via the Papermaker. Perfume can now be added via POUR. Only one dose of perfume can be stored at a given time; it will need to be re-added with each paper item made utilizing perfume. The abbreviated perfume scent (which can be previewed via SMELLing the perfume bottle) is applied to the paper item created. Depending on the end product, perfume may or may not be an option as part of its creation.Usage
Tier 3 - PostcardsAt Tier 3, the Papermaker gains the ability to make Papermaker's Postcards, which have stock descriptions depending on your location when you make them. Due to how postcards are designed, they cannot change their article or noun, nor can they use dyes; they will always be "a painted (location) postcard". They can support perfume added via the Papermaker. In addition, the ability to use WHISPER to directly select options becomes available, which can be used instead of manually cycling through available options. As the Papermaker is further unlocked, the available options for WHISPER expands to include those additional paper types and related options.Usage
Tier 4 - Bouquet PaperAt Tier 4, the Papermaker gains the ability to make Bouquet Paper. Due to how bouquet paper is designed, it cannot change the article or noun; it will always be "a piece of (color) bouquet paper". However, it can use a dye to change its default color. It does not support perfume added via the Papermaker. Up to 10 different kinds of foraged items can be added to Bouquet Paper. A ribbon can also be added, changing the way it is bound. Once completed, it can be turned into a special bouquet. That process is outlined on the Bouquet Paper article. Whisper now supports "bouquet" as the paper type option for bouquet paper.Tier 5 - EnvelopesAt Tier 5, the Papermaker gains the ability to make envelopes compatible with the mail system. Envelopes are capable of using Papermaker article options but not noun options; the noun will always be "envelope". They can use a dye to change the default color. They do not support perfume added via the Papermaker. Envelopes can only hold one item. Whisper now supports "envelope" as the paper type option for envelopes.Tier 6 - Butcher PaperAt Tier 6, the Papermaker gains the ability to make Food Grade paper (butcher paper). Due to how Food Grade paper is designed, it cannot change the article or noun; it will always be "a piece of (color) butcher paper". However, it can it use dyes. It does not support perfume added via the Papermaker. By adding a standard candle to the papermaker, you can store 10 doses of wax, which is required to make Food Grade paper. Specialty scripted candles will not work. Food Grade paper can be used to store a variety of food items, be turned into a bag, and supports written notes. That process is outlined on the Food Grade paper article. Whisper now supports "butcher" as the paper type option for butcher paper.Usage
Tier 7 - Natural PaperAt Tier 7, the Papermaker gains the ability to make natural paper, which can be either stationery paper or mail paper. Due to how natural paper is designed, it cannot change the article or noun; it will always preview as "a sheaf of (color) (natural paper noun)". It can use a dye to change its default color, which will appear as "(color)-tinted". It can also support perfume added via the Papermaker. Note: There is a bug that can allow a set article to be present on the final paper product made as long as a dye is also used, overwriting the default of "a sheaf of" for the article field. This appears to be a bug as the natural paper created begins with "a sheaf of" if no dye is present. In all cases, the GLANCE preview will not display the currently set article. By FEEDing certain organic material to your papermaker you can create very specific paper types. It will store four uses of the natural fiber added, up to a maximum of 100. Only one type of natural fiber can be stored at a given time; you cannot add "birch bark" if your mechanism already has "alder bark" set as its natural fiber type. Natural paper options are as follows:
Usage
Tier 8 - Treat BoxAt Tier 8, the Papermaker gains the ability to make Papermaker Treat Boxes. Due to how Papermaker Treat Boxes are designed, they cannot change the article or noun, nor can they use dyes via Papermaker; they will always be "a small treat box". They also cannot support perfume added via the Papermaker. Papermaker Treat Boxes can have their appearance customized after they have been made, utilizing other materials such as dyes and a ribbon. That process is outlined on the Papermaker Treat Box article. Whisper now supports "box" as the paper type option for treat boxes.Tier 9 - Award RibbonAt Tier 9, the Papermaker gains the ability to make Papermaker Awards. Due to how Papermaker Awards are designed, they cannot change the article or noun, nor can they use dyes via Papermaker; they will always be "a simple award" when created. They also cannot support perfume added via the Papermaker. Papermaker Awards can have their appearance customized after they have been made, utilizing other materials such as a ribbon and an ore. That process is outlined on the Papermaker Awards article. Whisper now supports "award" as the paper type option for award ribbons.Additional InformationAlteringPapermakers can only have long description alterations only. They can have several components customized by any merchant willing to work on them, which are referenced in the second part of its ANALYZE. Papermakers have a hard-coded show that cannot be changed: Thin and flat, the small machine resembles a slightly oversized cigar box with lacewood panels on all sides. On each of the short, flat sides is a plaque with tiny instructions and filigreed label frames, one displaying "a piece of" and the other stating "declaration." A third frame on one of the longer sides reads "writing" and sits amid bronze toggles, dials, switches, buttons, a window, and two glass tubes; both that are empty. The final long side has a pull handle of round metal that provides access to some sort of drawer, and the lid is decorated with a woodburned dahlia design.
