Intricately painted tin carousel
An intricately painted tin carousel is earned by completing the "Key to the Midway" quest at the annual Ebon Gate Festival. Check in with the stooped old gypsy woman who wanders the Midway to start the quest and deliver all the items to their proper locations, then do it again in reverse order (taking notes is highly recommended). The carousel will be attuned to whichever character completes the quest.
The carousel provides a once per 30-day inter-realm transport using TOUCH (TURN to set destination), and can be charged every year at Ebon Gate by any character on the same account as the one the carousel is attuned to for as long as the festival is held in Feywrot Mire.
The carousel can also be used (unlimited) as premium teleportation jewelry to get to Mist Harbor. This use is limited to Premium subscribers.
During the Ebon Gate Festival, the carousel can be touched within Feywrot Mire to access the carousel midway game. In this game, characters ride the creatures and reach for the rings using GET TICKET. It costs 500 silvers to attempt a ring grab and failures will cause a character to fall off the creature. Occasional merchants have been known to perform services such as GALD in the carousel non-game area.
- LOOK
The palm-sized carousel boasts intricately sculpted detail in the animals on the middle platform and its bejeweled base. Bright colors accent the details, bringing the miniature and its inhabitants to life. The carousel's tented roof is staked at the corners by twelve tiny jewels, all twelve of which are twinkling brightly. A small brass ring hangs over the lip of the carousel's top, immediately above a diving otter. "Wehnimer's Landing" is written across the creature's painted saddle.
- ANALYZE
You analyze your painted tin carousel and sense that the item cannot be altered in any way.
The creator has also provided the following information:
This item cannot be altered in any way and cannot be re-attuned to another.
This painted tin carousel will teleport you to the town indicated by the animal under the brass ring once every four weeks when it is TOUCHed.
You sense that it could be PLAYed and LISTENed to, and you could TURN it to toggle through towns.
All twelve of the charges remain. Any character on your account can get it recharged by the stooped old gypsy woman at the Halfway Midway.
You get no sense of whether or not the carousel may be further lightened.
