- Pathfinder - May 2020:
Name:
Pathfinder
Rank:
Weak Item
Type:
Map
Proof of Purchase:
[Insert link to purchase post]
Description:
This map will help you find a way where there is no way!
But it seems you also need a bit of luck with this map. Most of the time it will lead you where you want to go. It’ll try to tempt you off your path, though, by showing you hidden areas of interest that are sure to grant you adventure and riches! Every now and then it gets a wild hair, and if you give in and stray off the path, you might not like what you find.
Abilities:
Name: Adventure Time!
Description: Opening up the scroll and speaking out a personalized incantation will magically reveal the area around you for several hundred miles. Just tell it where you wish to go and it will plot a course to it. The user will never be lost again! However, it makes no promises that the route it has plotted will be the safest one, and it also tries its best to tempt the user and potentially their party off the plotted course by revealing points of interest. [The user must have OOC permission to use this ability on a player character, a player-owned NPC, or an Event NPC]

- Moody Hues:
Name:
Moody Hues
Rank:
Weak
Type:
August 2019 Gimmick Item
Description:
It’s unclear how you came into possession of this brown sack of colorful gems, but one thing is certain; they are monetarily worthless! Despite their glistening clarity and brilliant colors, no one will barter for them. However, you do notice that when thrown hard enough, they poof into a little powder, and people that are exposed to them start to act a little funny.
Abilities:
Name: Rainbow Feels
Description: Each gem seems to stand for a certain emotion. Getting within proximity of these vibrant gems or inhaling the dust can affect a person’s mood. As for what color correlates with what mood, well, that’s for you to find out.

- Phontas Bling:
Name:
Phontas Bling
Rank:
Weak Item
Type:
Ring
Description:
Slip this autumn-y ring on one of your fingers or on a necklace and suddenly, when anyone speaks a language you don’t understand, a burst of orange and red leaves fly out of it and straight up your nose! Don’t sneeze!
Abilities:
Name: Can You Sing With All the Voices...?
Description: Once you snort literal autumn leaves from the ring, like magic (because it is magic), you can suddenly break any language barrier like you’ve been a linguist your whole life!
Hopefully, you aren’t allergic to musty dead leaves.

October 2019
- Misfortune Cookie:
Name:
Misfortune Cookie
Rank:
Weak
Type:
Cookie
Description:
Deep in a back alley, there was a restaurant that sold kebabs. The kebab-man had always ordered from the shop beside him for lunch, and every time he was disappointed with the fortune cookies meant to leave him smiling after a nice meal. The fortunes were terrible! So idealistic and fuzzy, they were simply no help at all and had no place in a world as difficult as this!
Looking to get a leg up on his neighbor, he thought that maybe he’d offer something a little different. Maybe a cookie that offered honest, realistic advice! He placed an order from a creepy magazine that appeared under his door, and within hours there was a box of black fortune cookies on his doorstep! Cracking one open to check it revealed a weird and ominous message, "You ate too much, and soon you’ll bloat. And now your head belongs to a goat!" and suddenly, it was true! At least they only last a few hours ...
Abilities:
Name: Unfortunate Fortune
Description: As soon as someone cracks the black cookie, its hidden slip of paper with strange words bestows some sort of unlucky but ultimately harmless curse on the reader. Side effects usually include changes in skin color, body parts changing to animal counterparts, shrinking and growing, tasting colors, coughing bubbles, etc. Great for pranks and chaos.

- Dandle:
Name:
Dandle
Rank:
Weak
Type:
Candle
Description:
A dangerous candle, also known as a Dandle. It slipped its way into your pocket when you passed an occult store. It always seems to pop up in bags and pockets you didn’t put it into, or maybe with some other harmless candles. It’s not recommended you light it unless you love being scared witless, which is unfortunate since it can light itself ...
Abilities:
Name: Black Light
Description: Lighting this candle will suck every bit of light out of a room or a 10m radius! The pitch darkness caused also contains shrieks, cold spots, and the general sense of being haunted. Enjoy!

November
- Elemenie - November 2019:
Name:
Elemenie
Rank:
Weak
Type:
Bottle
Description:
Eons ago, the four elements spontaneously combined into a race of curious magical creatures called a Elemenies, which is short for elemental genies. Also eons ago, a powerful proto-mage managed to trick the poor creatures into signing contracts and thus enslaved the poor Elemenies for all of time. Their homes are now exotic glass bottles with matching caps to keep them trapped in style. Whoever comes into possession of a Elemenie bottle is now the proud owner of a real, live genie that can grant you wishes!
Since there are an unknown amount of Elemenie bottles out in Earthland, the individual appearance, gender, and personality of the one contained within each bottle is as varied as any other humanoid race. Essentially it’s like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get! However, one personality trait common to all Elemenies is their fear of violence and other scary things. They are absolute cowards. It makes them utterly useless in combat and PvP situations.
Abilities:
Name: You Ain’t Never Hadda Friend Like Me
Description: Yes, this Elemenie uses their adept control over the four main elements to create pretty much anything the user asks for. Unlike other genies from tales of old, they can grant unlimited wishes to those who think to spend a wish on such a thing, but they still cannot kill or bring people back to life ... not because of a contract, but because they’re scaredy cats. Warning: Be careful what you wish for! Every action has an equal consequence. Also, Elemenies have been trapped in bottles for a very long time, so there’s a high chance they will misunderstand what you want. Any wish affecting other players or their NPCs in any way will require OOC permission from that player.

December
- Copy of Jack Frost’s Key - December 2019:
Name:
Copy of Jack Frost’s Key
Rank:
Weak Item
Type:
Key
Description:
Have you ever wondered how, no matter how nice your house is, it seems like the winter chill always gets in? Well, wonder no more! It’s actually because Jack Frost has a handy little key that will let him into any house, and he opens windows and doors when you aren’t looking to let his chilly breath in! And even though that sounds like a really jerk thing to do, he’s not all bad. Once a year he lends it to jolly old Saint Nick, so he can get into the houses without chimneys to leave presents for the good girls and boys.
This year, though, it seems like one of Santa’s elves has gone rogue and decided to cause a whole lot of mischief. He’s somehow managed to make copies of Jack Frost’s key and has handed them out to random people! Maybe this was his way to test people more thoroughly for the naughty and nice list next year?
Abilities:
Name: No Chimney, No Problem!
Description: This icy key will unlock any lock, anywhere, on anything as long as it’s not rusted or too hard to turn. The key is made of brittle ice, after all. Keep frozen until ready to use. [Requires OOC permission to use the key on another PC’s/ Event locks.]
