The Beggar Attire is a fluff feature altering script that applies to accessory, clothing and miscellaneous items. It was originally released at Ebon Gate 2008. It can temporarily alter a character's eyes and face. Blindfolds, handwraps, robes, canes, and the Leper's Clapper (2026), each with two tiers unlocked by certificate. The blindfold and unlocked handwraps temporarily alter the wearer's features.

Beggar Attire is a line of scripted clothing, accessories, and props that includes blindfolds, handwraps, robes, canes, and clappers. Each piece has two tiers, and the second tier is unlocked with a stamped certificate (or a voucher for the clapper). Some of the messaging references the character's features, such as eye characteristics, eye color, hair color, or hair style. The collection was created by GameMaster Thandiwe for the 2008 Ebon Gate Festival. The Leper's Clapper was added at Ebon Gate 2026.
