2. Custom Crafting Reagents
To craft these legendary items, Tailors and Blacksmiths require specific recipe reagents:
- Softening Potion: Brewed by Alchemists. Used to refine thick hides to prepare them for sewing.
- Hope Sewing Kit: A rare runic tool containing gold-plated needles and magical threads. Dropped by elite dungeon bosses or obtained via events.
3. Visual Transmogrification (Armor & Clothing Alteration Deeds)
Players can customize the visual appearance of their equipped armor, shields, and clothing without losing any stats:
- Where to Buy: Sold by Tailor NPC vendors in all towns for 250,000 gp each.
- Armor Alteration Deed (Hue 1161, Blessed): Transmogrifies any armor piece or shield (`Helm`, `Gorget`, `Arms`, `Gloves`, `Tunic/Chest`, `Legs`, `Shield`) into another visual style on the same layer (including Plate, Chain, Bone, Circlets, Kabutos, Ninja Hoods, Elven Glasses, and Chaos/Order Shields) while preserving 100% of item stats, bonuses, hues, and resistances.
- Clothing Alteration Deed (Hue 1175, Blessed): Transmogrifies any clothing item (`OuterTorso` Robes/Dresses/Kimonos, `MiddleTorso` Tunics/Doublets/Sashes, `Cloak`, `Helm/Hats`, `Pants/Skirts`, `Shoes/Boots`) into your chosen style while keeping all properties intact.
