19.10.9 Customisation
If you are looking for a bit more of a unique look, customized items may be the way to go. This file outlines the commands needed to submit a custom item and the rules surrounding them.
What can I customise?
You can customise any artifact, with the exception of pets that have been collared. You can customize fullplate armour which you have crafted, or an elemental staff summoned with Elemancy. You may customize deathknight hounds, templar falcons, runeguard kestrels, druid golems, predator wolves, bard songbirds, cleric seraphs, and assassin/renegade cobras.
What can't be customised?
Everything not listed above. You cannot customise weapons, armour, clothing, pets, vials, etc.
What does customisation do?
A customised item will have any descriptions you decide to assign to it. If they do not currently reset to you, then they will not do it after customisations. Thus, if your newly customised pet is killed, or if your armour is stolen, you will NOT be getting it back.
What does it cost?
Fullplate, elemental staff, and guild pet customisation are free. Everything else has a 50 credit charge.
What other rules are there?
When describing your item, it must still be the same item. A longsword must still be a longsword. It cannot be a broom or anything else. If your descriptions do not follow this rule, they will be rejected. In addition, you appearance description must be less than 35 characters, and your dropped, death, leave, and enter messages must be less than 80 characters. If you do not submit a new description for a particular field, then the previous description will not be changed.
