Disguise Elixir item
Analyze
DISGUISE ELIXIR ITEM - ANALYZE INFO ---------
This is a Disguise Elixir item. Depending on its setup, it will change the appearance of the race, culture, and/or gender of a character. This is a temporary effect -- not a permanent change.
This item provides an aesthetic disguise without any mechanical benefits. It is Tier 1 (of 2 currently).
The wristlet has 10 charges remaining. The item will NOT crumble when it is used up, and recharging is available via some merchants. Each charge on this wristlet nets the character roughly 8 hours and 0 minutes of disguise time until the disguise is eliminated (either through naturally running its course, removing the item prematurely via PULL). There is a very rare chance during each charge cycle that the disguise will prematurely end on its own well before the full time has elapsed. Also note that death automatically ousts the disguise from a character.
The wristlet is set up to place the following aesthetic attributes on a character. Altering these settings may only be done on rare occasions by qualified persons; it is not a general merchant service. Race: Elf
Currently you are able to try to PUSH (to activate), PULL (to deactivate), LICK, and RUB the wristlet.
Aesthetic alterations to the item itself are acceptable -- they just must make sense for where the item is worn. Note that needles come out of the underside of the item, so nothing in the alteration should prevent that from logically occuring.

As if you need more shopping...
This shop is now open along Gloam Pike -- a slipshod building. Hard to miss given its garish paint job.
There are some signs in the shop, but to alleviate confusion prior to buying: each of the items has 10 charges. At this tier, these are purely cosmetic in nature and should be considered illusory.
Very likely (but not guaranteed) I'll do a few second tiers during the week: those just allow a lot more customization in terms of displaying your features to better match up to the racial/culture/gender disguise you might be going for... i.e. Elanthian spy games.

>>Interesting stuff, any idea how often there would be chances to refill/recharge them?
Not positive yet, given how new they are... I suspect part of it will depend on demand. They're open for any merchant to do the recharge, though.

>>Can I use these to sneak my way into Vaalorian citizenship? I'm sure if I have the right papers the guards will be so busy looking at them that they won't know a thing's amiss once the effect wears off, right?
Nawp -- just cosmetic ;) I don't want to promise anything and not be able to deliver -- but perhaps in the future as an expanded tier or somesuch will allow for that; that was one of the original intents of this project (going into areas that are race-restricted), but it ends up that there is a huge number (understatement) of things that need updating in order for that to be a reality. Cosmetic seemed a good compromise.
>>It didn't mesh well with my forehead gem or hairsticks at first but when I took them off and put them back on they were fine. However my old tattoo and additional feature line still displays as "her".
Aware of this! It may take me a bit to find a workaround to the his/her discrepancy in custom wording, but definitely want to try and get it as fixed as possible.
>>The talisman doesn't show up in my inventory either. Not sure if that's intentional.. would be awesome if it is!
It was intentional, yes. I'll take a look at whether a toggle is a possibility... but probably when I'm more awake.
>>Any chance you can put a mirror in the shop?
Will do at some point on Monday.
Also, a few people have already asked me about what Tier 2 is... once I've got the above kinks worked out, I'll post an analyze of Tier 2 so that you guys know what it is.

>>How long do the illusions last? 8 hours of real time, or in-game time?
Real time on these, for whatever timing the items are set for (these ones just happen to be 8 hours).
>>Ate tier 2 unlimited use?!Not necessarily. You can have a Tier 2 without it being unlimited, and you can have an unlimited Tier 1; unlimited use is independent of tier on these. Also, they are not for eating ;)
