Just curious. I am running out of items that I "just have to" get altered, and most of the ones that I was waiting on, will no longer be worked on. So I am pretty much left to alter clothing and jewelry, for lack of other stuff to get done.

I don't really play much any more, but with the festivals coming, I am starting to get set again to have a big GS weekend of shopping with my dearest shopping buddy. I am putting together my Big List of Potential Alterations, along with my big bag of Junk That Could Be Altered.

The one main joy I get from GS outside of my friends is making nice stuff.

So tell me what you are really, really dying to get altered. You never know what might happen.

So what other than armor would you alter Anticor? reg

I guess my cloak or my blade. I want something that is me and it is hard to find onyx giantman wizard stuff, seems they are few and far between. Every giantman alter is either a empath, warrior, or cleric it seems. I like to keep it fairly simple though. Or tastefully understated as I like to call it.

Cloak- A black spidersilk wizards cloak studded with onyx gemstones. Maybe throw in fit for a large or giatman frame.

Blade Right now I have an alum hilted silvery broadsword ( same thing as a translucent white broadsword just better looking) I would give it an onyx pommel and fit it as a giantmans blade, again could work in wizard to get the full effect.

An onyx-trimmed/ black silk/ greatcloak(15/10/10)

an enormous/ onyx silk/ cloak (11/9/5)

Basically, with your cloak, we'd need to go with a short, since you cannot have race or profession in a short or long, unless you already have it there.

I will assume that the merchants at these fests will be going by the standard alteration rules.

Based on the size of this cloak, it was fitted for a giantman wizard, and a large one at that. The rich black spidersilk has been lined with a myriad of pockets that contain mysterious ingredients suitable for potions and spells. Polished onyx gemstones edging the cloak have been etched with complex runes. The cloak closes at the throat with a large veil iron-edged onyx clasp.

Just some thoughts. If you want ideas for armor or weapons, let me know more.

From - A long dark spidersilk cloak

To - a long elven-crafted assassin's cloak
SHOW: the cloak is made entirely of dark spidersilk and woven together seamlessly. It's folds reach nearly to the ground and completely encompasses the wearer like a blanket of night.

In my dreams when closed it would conceal everything worn on the body looking sort of like...

You see Blah Blaherson the Elf
He's in his 40's
He is wearing a long elven-crafted assassin's cloak which conceals his remaining gear.

Or something like that. I'm allowed to dream aren't I? reg

He must be harmless!

alternately...

If I had a million dollars... reg

Shuri kota is a DR shield if anyone doesn't recognize the name.

I even made a hobbit cleric to hopefully one day get it made. I had a whole list of hobbit sized alterations but I never make a list. Probably could have had it done at a Pay to Play merchant but that's just a waste of money, IMO. I don't think you should have to pay extra for something they should let you attend for free. reg

My original intention was to see if I get picked for an alteration, and perhaps doing something nice for someone else, provided they had an alteration that was fairly easy to do, and wanted something reasonable that would pass GM approval, and merchant specifications (armor and weapons would require me to have it in hand, which isn't something I wanted to deal with.)

Something else I'm looking to get is to get a large sack/satchel altered into a poacher's bag. The description I would use on that one would be: A decrepit leather poacher's bag clasped by several hanging veniom threads. Would be useful while hunting <grin>.

Anywho, just a few things I'd like to get someday. I keep a list of things I'd like done and even once in a while manage to get one done.

I want to get something altered but problem is last time I went I watched someone come in hug everyone and bounce around and act, for lack of a better term, like an ass. That turned me off alittle from going just because I notice that person get an alter.

Second problem is my stays in game are very sporadic at best. There are times when I get to stay in game for the time I intend but more often then not in the middle of waiting, hunting, talking what have you I must log off and go to work (military is weird about calling in sick ) This sporadic nature makes it difficult at best to get an alter done. All my friends know that if I leave quickly it is for military reasons, but I do not feel it appropriate to whisper to a GM/merchant "Sorry gotta go duty calls."

I have items in my locker that I am just holding on to in hopes that some day I can get them altered: a raven feathered onyx cloak - into something close to the cloak you described above
some 0x supple onyx trimmed leathers that I would alter and wear in town for show only
But given my hectic lifestyle I realize chances are slim at best that I will ever get them done and I am cool with it.

Anticor, let me know what you like, dislike about the cloak ideas, and let's see what we can work out. You're the only one so far who has given me something I can work with.
I'm heading to NYC in a few hours, so I won't be able to check my email until next Wed. You can contact me at LadyAerienne@yahoo.com.

Nah, a beggar's cup will work.

Most of the alteration rules are stupid and even many of the merchants feel that they are so they only try to follow exactly what the rules say. So while they might not make you a ranger's or a warrior's item, they'll make you a beggar's item since "beggar's" wasn't specified in those dumb rules.

Just because something may be against the rules, it doesn't mean it won't happen. ;)

Pudgee, what you say is true, but it is totally dependent on the merchant and how they are feeling that day, because some will let you get away with anything, and others are selective who they will do stuff for. IN GENERAL, that is banned. But then, so is glowing, and Pinktoes was making crystal amulets (NOT just GLOWING amulets) into glowing gems, etc.

My basic rule is to have alternative back ups for these borderline/against the rule alterations.

Also, my intentions on this thread was stated above, which is why I was looking at alterations that AREN'T going to get denied.
