Altering

Altering

An addition to the menu of most craft tools with the Stygian Abyss Expansion is the ‘Alter Item (Gargoyle)’ option.  Note: Some special items, made by crafters that have read the appropriate recipes from Doom but not alterable by a crafter, can be altered by visiting Vrulkax the Exalted Artificer at the Crafting Plaza in the Royal City. Note: <ul> <li>Items presented to Vrulkax must be in full repair</li> <li>When altered to Gargoyle version the bone armor artifact item 'cuffs of the arch mage' becomes stone, repaired via Masonry</li> </ul> <a href="http://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/altermenu.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5728" src="http://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/altermenu.jpg" alt="altermenu" width="533" height="498" /></a> This can be used directly by a crafter, or through an alter service contract: <a href="http://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/alter_tailor.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5729" src="http://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/alter_tailor.jpg" alt="alter_tailor" width="439" height="246" /></a> <a href="http://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/alter_smith.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5730" src="http://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/alter_smith.jpg" alt="alter_smith" width="409" height="251" /></a> Alter service contracts are created in the same way as repair deeds. The crafter selects ‘alter’ from the menu and targets a blank scroll.  The contract can be used at a soulforge by any player. This page documents what this option can be used for.  Where a Gargish item of the same name exists like for like conversion occurs. eg. <ul> <li>Chaos shield becomes Gargish chaos shield,</li> <li>kryss becomes Gargish kryss</li> <li>wooden shield becomes Gargish wooden shield</li> <li>half apron becomes Gargish half apron</li> <li>platemail arms become Gargish platemail arms</li> <li>Exceptional Platemail Samurai items having ‘mage armor’ property retain the property when altered</li> </ul> <table border="1" width="98%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" align="center"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="3"> <h4>Smith Items</h4> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3"> <ul> <li>Ringmail or chainmail items can not be altered,  with the exception of gloves (as of publish 92, February 2016).
