Description
Balthazar, a wizard who resides in the Temple of Life in Rune, has the power to alter the very nature of an item and make it look and appear different to the layperson.
Players can have Balthazar do this using the SHOP RESTRING command: SHOP RESTRING <item name> [ or 'reset']
Fields that may be restrung are: keywords - words used to reference the item (5 - 120 letters), no color codes allowed short - description of the item as it appears in your inventory (5 - 60 letters), up to 10 color codes long - description of the item when it is on the ground (5 - 120 letters), up to 10 color codes specialname - for specific items, namely toy soldiers, toy wizards, and toy shamans. Gives the item a name that shows up when the toy transforms.
Keyword fields will always restring the item but keep the original keywords intact. Keyword fields cannot contain color codes. Descriptions may be limited depending on the field being restrung.
You may not use dollar signs, the tilde character, or inverted colors in any field. You may not use any of the following characters in the short description field: @, %, ^, `, ;, &, or *.
You do not need to enclose the field in single quotes; the description will be as you type it.
Using a restring coin on a piece of generic or customizable housing furniture will allow you to customize it again. This is currently limited to Sit On/At/In furniture, save-location house storage and fountains. USE the coin on the furniture and the item in question will be able to be customized again.
Restringing requires the use of strange coins, available in Reward Unit shoppes. Restrung equipment must be game-related in nature and cannot contain words or phrases that are anachronistic or violate the global channel rules. If an item is found to violate the aforementioned rules it will be removed permanently, so please be careful.
If you have a restrung item and wish to reset it to its default form, use the SHOP RESTRING <item name> 'reset' version of the SHOP RESTRING command. This will cost one strange coin and will work instantly on all fields, specifically keywords, short, and long. It will also remove an engraving, if the object has one.
