MoonShard pendant

Initially released during the April 2016 Duskruin Arena, this pendant acts like a glamour crystal when used. The pendant itself is useless without the accompanying moon shards found only in the sewers. During the August 2016 run, a new feature was added with bloodrunes that add an additional description to the glamoured affect.

Pendant

Upon placing the four completed miniature moons into a four-ringed metal pendant, it will randomly transform into a moon-filled pendant with one of fifteen possible metals, and is a fully functioning glamour crystal. The metal dictates the color of the haze for the glamour, as well as the base and show description of the pendant.

LOOK

Long strands of silver and <metal> have been twisted together in a double rope pattern to create a sturdy, but elegant, neckchain.  Four unembellished rings situated side-by-side dangle from the centermost point of the metal strands.  All four rings contain a small glowing sphere that appears to spin slowly.

Analyze

You analyze your white ora pendant and sense that the item cannot be altered in any way.

The creator has also provided the following information:

This white ora pendant cannot be altered in any way.  It will hold miniature moons created from individual pieces found in Bloodriven Village, Duskruin.  You curently have 4 moons attached to your pendant.

USAGE: COVER (turn feature off), EXHALE, FIDGET, PROD, RAISE, RUB, and SHAKE

Since your pendant is unlocked, it can alter your LOOK description.  When worn, you can RUB the pendant to activate this ability, and PROD to change what others will see when they look at you.

Through a ethereal white haze, you see a/an <race> Champion of <Duskruin/Deity> with <complexion> skin and <eye characteristic, if applicable> <eye color> eyes.

Use PROD to toggle between "Duskruin" and <your attuned deity>.  Note that this pendant will not be accepted as alter fodder.

You get no sense of whether or not the pendant may be further lightened.

MoonShards

MoonShards originated at Duskruin Arena in April 2016. MoonShards were found in the sewers, and pendants were found in Arena prize packages. The MoonShards need to be BUNDLEd with appropriate matching MoonShards to create one of four miniature moons. They change from cluster, sphere, moon with each combination and are all a different color for the bundles. The old dwarven archaeologist inside the Underground Temple in the Duskruin Arena accepted MoonShards (8-20 BS), extra completed moons (40-120 BS), pendants (?) and completed pendants (10k BS) in exchange for bloodscrip.

Policy 7 Warning

Posted by Wyrom 2016 Jul 1:

Seems I have to post about a POLICY 7 issue that has come up.

It seems a few of the pendants that went out may have caused a bug that would leave the moon you tried to place inside it still in your hand. If this happened to you, please place an ASSIST and let us know, as well as turn over any moons that didn't physically go into the pendant. As of right now, we know there is one pendant that could still be completed. It's unclear as of right now if anyone used a buggy Makiri moon to complete a pendant. If you did, please tell us.

This also means people should be very leery of purchasing a Makiri moon from another player, should you be wishing to complete that final pendant that is out there. If you have the final Makiri moon and would like to confirm with me how legitimate it is, please email me (using the link to the left). If the golvern segment hasn't been combined, that would also be helpful to let me know.
