ITEM RECOMMENDATION SHOP
ITEM RECOMMENDATION SHOP
Nominate More What have we missed? We'll be taking your additional item suggestions until Oct 31 for this shopping Guide. Nomination form
The Basketifier Cylnthia: Food, kept spoil-free and unlimited, portable, and easy to use. Make sure to go permify with the Permifier, so you don't need to keep feeding it to statues to replace the food inside! Preserving Breads
Stationery box Luxelle: The all new Stationery Box got better than ever this time! Now with new unlocks for stay-put abilities, permified paper, and stacking envelopes, as well as beautiful keys to keep your goodies safe. It's time to get serious about your letter writing. A Vague Inkling
Rock Tumbler Duffield: The definitive crown jewel (get it) of gem alterations, with every feature ever wanted possible, along with hundreds of options. Glisten and Gleam
Potion of Naming (for mounts) Cylnthia: Give your mount a pre-set name for 1000 soul shards, or try for a custom name (which needs to be QC'd) for 2500. Every mount should have a name, make sure to get yours this year! Name of Thrones
Picture album Collect the scene from any inside or outside room in Elanthia, the people there with you, and save it all forever in these picture albums. There are 3 styles to choose from off the shelf in the Evermore Hollow Gift Shop, right off the entrance. Add a couple collectible souvenir cards from nearby, too - they tuck right into your album. This is the ultimate keepsake and is not easy to find for sale. Evermore Hotel Gift Shop
Cheval Mirror Cylnthia: Finally, a mirror that you can set down, with Stay-Put qualities... and, it's zesty, too! Plus, with the Stay-Put, you can plop one down in your private property, stall, or loft, and it well stay there until you pick it up again! Rub-a-Dub-Dub
Book Bag Book-inator Cylnthia: The new Book Bag is a portable Book-inator, letting you carry around a miniature library in the space+weight of one item. Go forth, and bring part of your library with you! Beyond the Spine
Discreet containers Luxelle: These containers are so discreet they are being sold at the Stationery store! These scripted favorites let you put things in them quietly, without anyone noticing. And take them out. It's one of my favorites! Don't miss the unlock voucher, too. A Vague Inkling
Unholy Weapon Gawyane: This is such a cool concept and the synergy with cursed armor makes for great mechanical bonuses when fighting. Plus, the whole demon-in-your-head thing at Tier 4 is great for roleplaying! Also it's relatively cheap to upgrade compared to most fancy mechanical scripts! The Unholy Chapel
Rock Tumbler An Ordim: The rock tumbler is THE one stop shop for gem manipulation. There are so many great features like almost all the nouns being available to use, reducing gems back to uncut to start over and reuse for decorations. All of this at reasonable prices make for an item that should be on any crafter's short list! Glisten and Gleam
Jeepers Creepers An Ordim: Jeepers Creepers brings the ability to capture the likeness of birds around the world! Sometimes also spot their feathers and eggs in the wild! Options of paper, gem or candy birds further the fun with either candy or crafting options to use in other projects. Piper's Peepers
an enruned shadowglass obelisk
The PERM-ifier
Maevie: Do you have a signature scent? Don't forget to permify it at the enruned shadowglass obelisk. There are many more items that qualify for permification. See the wiki for the full list! Antiquarian Manor
a long pair of sterling silver snips
Floral Snips
Maevie: Let Your Foraged Flowers Bloom in Style with Floral Snips! Transform ordinary foraged flowers into beautiful wearable accessories with these enchanting snips, available in two varieties: tuck blossoms behind your ear or weave them into your hair! The hairstyling version offers 20 unique floral hairstyles, letting you change your look with every bloom! Take them both home! Something Borrowed
Blood Red Hand Suzetta: Get Your Hands on The Blood Red Hand! Add a little attitude to your roleplay with this scripted hand accessory featuring four tiers of expressive actions, from playful gestures and flirtatious beckoning to dramatic slaps and pointed insults! With demeanor-based interactions and customizable fingernails and fingers, you'll have plenty of ways to make a lasting impression! The Blood Red Hand
A starry-eyed ivory unicorn Pinata Jinji: Take a Swing at Some Frightfully Fun Piñatas! They're a perfect addition to any party! Hang them up, grab a stick, and let the goodies fly with these tiered party favorites! Upgrade to stuff them with your own surprises, or unlock Tier 3 for a reusable daily smash with a chance to unleash a spooky haunting, an undead critter, or even a rare cuddly toy! Wild Flailings
Rock Tumbler Vyrshkana: Is goinged wit all de sparkle rock boxes! Glisten and Gleam
High quality fishing line An Ordim: Event bought fishing line is the strongest there is! Pair it with the tackle box for easy storage and you'll be all set for fishing all year long with one or two spools! Also, pick up a jig to make lures. Everything at Rodnir's bait and tackle is a great pickup for fishing. Rodnir's Bait and Tackle
Rusalkoren leg greaves/bracers
Rusalkan
Carrius: Probably the best bang for your buck at any pay event. These leg greaves flare when you sweep and the flare will knock down up to 3 creatures in a room, plus give you a +10 AS bonus for each creature you knock down (up to +30) AND a -1 RT haste effect. A must have for any rogue. And for you warriors out there, pick up the bracers instead and watch them flare your tackles. At 50k soul shards, these are a bargain and a must have for any rogue or warrior. Drowned Dreams Curiosities
Black Ora Unholy Weapon Carrius: In my opinion, this is one of the most fun weapon scripts in the entire game. It may not be the most powerful, but it strikes a perfect balance of having power, utility and role play value. A fully unlocked (T4) Unholy Weapon will cost you 176.5k shards, but for that price you get a weapon that grants a permanent (does not have to be recharged) enhancive of +6 to Wisdom and +2 to mana recovery, plus the ability to teleport you to safety once a day, plus an ability to grant you a +25 AS bonus for 3 minutes (with a 15 minute cooldown). In addition to that, your weapon will be possessed by a demon! Who will periodically taunt you. And you can transform your weapon into a mask for easy inventory management (it is cursed, after all. But this way you do not have to uncurse it every time you want it out of your hand). These weapons can also be enchanted, sanctified and ensorceled. I can't speak more highly of them. And now, we have purified black ora coming, so you can add even more power to it! The Unholy Chapel
Juggling Spheres Entertaining in your traveling troupe? Need more props to accompany your The Jolly Jingler Ensemble? (Also a great shop with great items). 1250 shards to fully unlock some Juggling Spheres to pass the time or make it part of your next performance. There are ghostwood AND widowwood options too. Playful Prisms
Blacksmith's Companion Desp: One of the best items to have for customization if you forge Ironmonger's Smithy
SOCKPUPPETS Because. It's. A. Sockpuppet. Not just ANY sockpuppet. This sockpuppet is the star in your next mini stage performance. This sockpuppet is an extension of what your beautiful brain can dream up between this moment and the next. This sockpuppet is an ice breaker between you and that person you're too afraid to say "Hey, you're standing on my foot" to. This sockpuppet is perfect for the introvert dragged outside by their extroverted friend. Just talk to people through the sockpuppet. Nobody will knock on your door again. GO. GET. A SOCKPUPPET! Sockpuppetry
Soup and Rice Recipe cards If you're not making mango sticky rice and soup I'm not coming to hang out. It's pretty self explanatory. HOW COOL ARE THESE NEW RECIPES?! GET COOKIN'! Hearth Warming
Staff Charm I feel like I've nominated this before, but it's a little RP gem that I hope never gets missed by runestaff users. These beautiful sirenglass pieces are outrageously inexpensive, fully unlocked, for the wealth of verbs they offer to ANY runestaff in your hand. Just have to choose which one you love most, unlock it, pop a runestaff in your hand and then have a variety of fun things to do with it. So good. If you choose worn location carefully you can TUCK it away so nobody sees it. But they're nice looking so if you want to show it off, have at it. The Glass House
Book Bag Book-inators! Laeli: BECAUSE NOW I HAVE A PLACE TO PUT ALL THESE BOOKS AND NOT FALL DOWN AND THAT PLACE IS ON MY BELT. Beyond the Spine
The Globus Naidem Runestaff Elidibus: Cause its rad Diabolically Chained
Sacred Flame oil lamp Laeli: I've always loved these lamps. The ambience is so pretty and you can pop 'em out almost anywhere, PLACE alongside yourself AT FEET, put them on surfaces in tents or private properties. They're just cool, and you can permify the lamp oils. The ones sold this year are beautiful and the accompanying lamp oils are gorgeous too. A Burning Desire
Drinkable Spells Invisibility, Spirit Strike, and Bravery potions are for sale with 10 sips each. Don't overlook them. Any Way You Wand It
Crystal Spells Look for crystal eggs of all sorts of colors with spells imbedded in them at Masqued Intentions. Iron Skin, Mindwarad, Curse, Disease Resistance, Poison Resistance, Elemental Defense I, Elemental Defense II, Spirit Shield, Spirit Defense, Natural Colors, Spirit Strike, Floating Disk, Manna, Spirit Warding I, and Spirit Warding II, Masqued Intentions
Soapy Spells Don't sleep on the spell-laden soaps at Rub-a-dub-dub! There is: Spirit Defense, Floating Disk, Thurfel's Ward, Strength, Nature's Bounty, Mass Blur, Prismatic Guard, Manna, Bravery, and Spirit Shield. Rub-a-Dub-Dub
Beatie Baby For all young bards who are tired of blowing up gems (and hands) take a look at the return of the Beatie Baby (and it's unlock) in Quinton Manse. Get that extra purification bonus when you are groovin' to the right beat. Quinton Manse
Last Run Shops Be sure to take a look at the shops that are closing this year. Buckle Up, with swappable belts and buckles, Flasked with a Purpose with flask belts and drinking containers, and Flightless Dragonfly, the home of Winged Wear Clothing line, Buckle Up
Flasked with a Purpose
Flightless Dragonfly
an enruned shadowglass obelisk
The PERM-ifier
Because permanent cigars are amazing Antiquarian Manor
Purified! New purified metals, including white and black ora, are the Next Level for your favorite weapons. Transmutes to them, and purification available for: Faewood, White Ora, Eonake, and Black Ora. Drowned Dreams Curiosities
Gem Caboodles Luxelle: Storing gems you are keeping for crafting or decorations is a lot easier with a Gem-in-ator! It stacks up to 30 different gems to ease both your item count and your encumbrance. Note: Storing gems in here takes away their ability to be sold, orbed, used for chrisms - their non-decorative properties. Collectors Calamity
