Imflass wire jewelry was introduced as an update to the Ghezyte chelioboros item quest reward first released at Ebon Gate 2017. At Ebon Gate 2021, the ability to convert the item's appearance and abilities, along with its deity, was made available as part of the quest. It is a self-charging item that has different abilities based on whether one has completed the yearly quest and/or converted to the deity Charl. Similar to the ghezyte chelioboros item, the amount of favor gained for it allows its various upgrades. The first year being 1000 followed by 2000 for the second year. Favor is garnered by doing the various Caligos Isle yearly quest(s). There is a cost of 250,000 silver to purchase the item from the chest when available on Caligos Isle. Once purchased, the item is attuned to the character that picked it up.

Note: The verbs for each year are unlocked automatically each year, and are not tied to favor gain. There are no year 5 verbs available for quest items that have been converted to other deities.

The item can be rotated between four various worn locations via the PROD verb. Those four locations include wrist(bracelet), finger(ring), neck(choker), and ankle(anklet).

Year 2 - 2018

Verb First Third
NUDGE With your forefinger, you trace the slender threads of metal that run between the clusters of sea glass along your (item). Something appears to move underneath, but is quickly dampened by the confining overlay. (Character) traces the slender threads of metal that run between the clusters of sea glass along (his/her) (item). A ripple of movement beneath the (item)'s overlay gives you pause, but it quickly ceases as if it never happened and was just a figment of your imagination.
TICKLE Absentmindedly, you insert a finger between one of the thin strands of imflass that mask the indigo-hued ghezyte base of your (item). Pressing a little too hard, your fingertip slips between the imprisoning metal lengths and a sharp pain forces you to yank your hand back. While there's no visible blood, there is most assuredly a tooth-shaped indentation in the tip of your finger. A stern voice echoes in the back of your mind, "Endless annoyances are often the catalyst for change." (Character) fiddles with (his/her) (item), and you see (his/her) finger slip between the item's imflass strands right before (he/she) yanks his hand back, a look of astonishment on (his/her) face. You hear a muffled voice and attempt to eavesdrop, but you are unable to make out any words.

Year 3 - 2019

Verb Modifier First Third
GAZE N/A Your gaze becomes frozen on something in the distance as you contemplate your (item) and the craftsmanship that so easily entombed the ghezyte creature beneath imflass wire and sea glass fragments. The distraction is intense, and for a moment, you sway back and forth as if you were floating in the ocean. (Character) affixes (his/her) gaze at something off in the distance and seems to concentrate intensely. (He/she) sways back and forth for a moment, seeming to forget that (he/she)'s out in public. Perhaps (he/she) didn't even notice the movement of ghezyte beneath (his/her) (item)'s imflass strands.
PRAY Charl Convert You squeeze your eyes shut and focus your thoughts on your (item), quietly offering a promise for continued devotion to the God of the Sea for his intolerance of the scale-ridden and slimy false prophet. A satisfying feeling warms you from head to toe but ends abruptly, a contradicting response to the one received only seconds ago. (Character) squeezes (his/her) eyes shut and appears to concentrate deeply as (his/her) lips move without sound. (He/she) is startled unexpectedly, and opens (his/her) eyes, which offer a mild look of confusion.
Other Convert You squeeze your eyes shut and focus your thoughts on your (item), quietly offering gracious thanks to the sea God for his intolerance of false prophets.

Year 4 - 2020

Verb First Third
HISS Memories from Caligos Isle resurface, and like a rising tide, a sense of rage builds in you, causing an audible hiss to spill over your lips toward (item). (Character)'s (skin color) skin appears slightly tinged with red as (his/her) face becomes distorted with rage. (He/she) hisses at (his/her) (item).
MOCK Gloating quietly to yourself as you admire your (item), you reflect on the past events that garnered the item on your () and ruminate on the weaknesses that led to the perceived victory. A ringing in your ears completely averts your thoughts, and a harsh voice reprimands your mocking speculations, "Do not forget the ease with which you accepted the adversary's gift for a modicum of spurious power, as deficiency comes in many forms." In an instant, the sonorous voice ceases, and you realize you are staring at your (item) in intense contemplation, mouth slightly agape. A smug countenance overtakes (character)'s features but is soon replaced by a look of befuddlement. (He/she) seems overly distracted until (his/her) mouth falls imperceptibly agape.
