Renaming/restringing items

For quest points you can buy a restring coupon from questers, which gives you the right to rename items and do other interesting things. Coupons come in two types: colourless, giving the right to rename without using colours, and multicoloured, allowing coloured restrings. The colourless one is, naturally, cheaper.

RENAMING ITEMS To rename (almost) any item in your inventory, take a restring coupon, go to the Old Jew in Midgaard and follow his instructions. The Jew takes the coupon up front and renames the item on the spot; the gods look the new names over afterwards and may revert an unfit one. To start work, the Jew needs to get the item in hand, so take off anything you are wearing first. He cannot recolour religious signs (they cannot be taken off), limited items, or items with special scripted behaviour -- for example the quest bag: it comes off, but the Jew refuses to take it. For recolouring such items contact the Gods. Three parameters are renamed:

• long description: seen when the item is lying on the floor
• short description: seen in inventory or equipment
• item keywords (names) used to manipulate it

RENAMING MISCELLANEOUS THINGS With a coupon you can also rename:

• an edible item created by the create food spell

(you can conjure ice cream or double cheeseburgers!)

• a flower created by the create rose spell
• a light source created by the continual light spell
• the spinning disc
• a conjured or found spring
• a mace created by the weight prayer
• capes of the Battleragers
• ... or even your own warcry

The Jew does not handle such orders -- for this work contact the Gods. Buy a restring coupon and write a note to the Gods with a detailed description of what you intend to rename. This will cost an additional 50qp on top of the coupon.
