Marble Crafting has arrived in WP! The marble crafting tool can be found on the Reward Twiglet and other rare locations (read the History page on the website). Marble is crafted from Granite and requires the knowledge from the stone crafters book.
The Granite key has been upgraded to also hold marble. The Tool Key has been upgraded to hold the marble tools. Also included on that key are the Ore Prospector's Tool (formerly Prospector's Tool) and the Lumber Prospector's Tool.
The Reward Twiglet also has a one use Dye Almost Anything tub available on it.

WP is accepting applications for a possible future staff hire. If you are interested in applying, please visit the library at the Travel Center. There you will find a Web Stone which, when clicked, will open a browser and display the staff application. Fill it out and click submit to apply. You will get an email confirmation of your application. Remember that application is no guarantee of hire. Being on staff is a serious undertaking, and is not to be treated lightly. We are VERY particular about the people we select to join us on staff, and are in no hurry to make any hires.

The Ultimate PowerScroll Book is now craftable again. It no longer holds stat scrolls, and all the existing Utimate PS books on the shard have been switched over. Please keep in mind that there are still 3 chests in Britain located near the Web site stone. These chests are for players to turn in the old Style Bulk Order Books and Old Style Power Scroll books. For each Old Style Book you turn in you will get a 100 Tokens as a thank you for helping keep W.P. clean and clutter free!!

In a unanimous decicision by the Smith, Tailor, and Tamer's Unions, grab bags of random BODs will now be sold on the Gold and Token stones at the Donation Hall. A bag of 10 random small BODs will be sold for 50K gold, and a bag of 5 random large BODs will be sold for 10K tokens.
The Ultimate PowerScroll Book, while working great for PowerScrolls, is misbehaving when it comes to Stat Scrolls. It is refusing to release them from the book. Crafting of the Poserscroll book has been temporarily removed from the Scribe's Pen while we look into this. For those of you who have not added stat scrolls to the book, do not, as you will not be able to get them back out.

There are 3 chests in Britain located near the Web site stone. These chests are for players to turn in the old Style Bulk Order Books and Old Style Power Scroll books. For each Old Style Book you turn in you will get a 100 Tokens as a thank you for helping keep W.P. clean and clutter free!!

Big Changes Today!! As promised, new keys and items to help with storage are being added. First up is a Pet Kennel to store your shrunken pets. It is created with the Tinker Tools and must be locked down in your house to use. A change that comes along with this is that now when you shrink a pet, it will call itself by type, rather than -a shrunken pet-.
Also on the Tinker Tools is an Armory (which stores armor, weapons, clothing and jewelry) and an Add-On Deed key for storing your Add-On Deeds when you aren't using them. Both must also be locked down in your house to use.
On the Scribe's Pen we have replaced the old BOD book and PowerScroll books with an Ultimate BOD Book and an Ultimate PowerScroll Book. The new versions are much more shard friendly. The Ultimate BOD Book holds all three types of BODs, in both large and small sizes. Please start creating and using them right away. Staff will pay a bounty of 100 tokens for each of your old EMPTY BOD and PS books you bring to us.
Some existing keys have had minor changes made to them, such as the Tailor Keys which now store scales and Reagent Keys now hold arcane gems, bone and sand.
