Restrings

Post by Grenwyn » Fri May 13, 2011 12:58 am

I'm kind of curious about restrings. Are they still available for a cost? The old helpfile on restrings says they cost 10 glory, but the glory helpfile says that system is on hold.

For the character in question, I was hoping to get a club-class frying pan. But looking at the restring rules (the long description must fit the restring), I don't know if there are any clubs with a generic enough description for that. (Ditto for a quarterstaff mop.)

I'm pretty sure those aren't in game already. But I would like a more "unconventional" (improvised!) weapon like that for her to emphasize that she isn't all about violence and weapons and stuff.

So if a restring isn't an option for that, any other ideas?

I know that glory renames exist for 10 glory each, though there are other costs associated with other things, like resizing magical items of clothing. I don't know the costs of everything. I was told it was twenty glory for a resizing though.
Justice is not neccesarily honourable, it is a tolerable business, in essence you tolerate honour until it impedes justice, then you do what is right.

Spelling is not necessarily correct :)

Okay. And actually, looking around, I am seeing some quarterstaves with really no long description whatsoever, so maybe a frying pan won't be as far-fetched as I thought it would be.

Updated help file to follow ASAP, however, the short is answer is yes. You may use the Applications system to apply for a rename at the cost of 10 glory.
