What lies within the Shop of Wonders?

** NOTE: All items are resetting and non-decay.

- A white crystalline vase, a blue crystalline vase, a violet
crystalline vase. 1 Mayan crown each. Like flowerpots, these vases
generate new flowers -- but each vase generates only one flower each,
and will not generate another until that flower is taken out of the
vase. The flowers are unique and not available anywhere else. The white
vase generates pale pink calla lilies, the blue vase generates clusters
of indigo hydrangeas, and the violet vase generates amethyst magnolias.

- An olivewood stationery kit. 1 Mayan crown. These randomly generate up
to 5 letters that are embossed with your name and title. Only the one
whose name is embossed upon the letter may mail it.

- A trader's satchel. 1 Mayan crown. See Announce news #2756 for details.

- A quartz crystal vial. 2 Mayan crowns. These are artefact vials which
have a 1% chance of regenerating a draught when one sips/applies from
it.

- A crafter's folder. 2 MCs. These allow up to 50 crafting designs to be
preserved from decay. Preserved designs may not be given away,
disowned, or unpreserved. You may own as many folders or portfolios
as you like, increasing your capacity without limit.

- A crafter's portfolio. 3 MCs. These allow up to 100 crafting designs
to be preserved from decay. Stacks with folder. Preserved may not be
given away, disowned, or unpreserved. You may own as many folders or
portfolios as you like, increasing your capacity without limit.

- A Fluvian jar. 3 MCs. This magical jar fills with 100 draughts of
water when you FILL it at a water location. You may then use each of
those draughts individually when dousing forest fires or scrubbing
graffiti from walls. That means you could douse 100 rooms of fire before
the jar runs dry and must be refilled! As an additional bonus, if you
POUR <jar> ON <self/another person>, you will immediately get rid of the
stink affliction, though the jar will be emptied.

- An Estachian feedbag. 3 MCs. A never-ending feedbag! When attached to
a non-pet, non-collared mount, will keep your mount from starving to
death. You may order your mount to drop or give the feedbag to you if
you wish to transfer it to a different mount. It will return to your
inventory if the mount dies.

- A wyvernskin pack. 3 MCs. This pack holds up to 150 items.

- A dragonskin pack. 4 MCs. This pack holds up to 200 items, and it has
a lid that may be opened and closed, by anybody holding it (not
protected by any special permissions).

- A ram's horn. 5 MCs. This horn allows you to shout from anywhere as if
you were at a public ram's horn, without the gold cost. Please be aware
that this does not protect you from being shout-muted if you abuse the
privilege it brings.

- Obsidian panpipes. 6 MCs. The alluring call of these pipes will draw
more rats to you in non-sewer urban locations: 5 per room instead of 3,
like the Bardic Rondo. PLAY PIPES.

- A platinum whistle. 7 MCs. BLOW upon this whistle to call all your
loyal entities and mounts to you at once, even from across planes and
continents. Excludes angels, giraffe balloons, and toboggans.

- Terrin'ukia's Monocle. 8 MCs. This monocle allows you to see ALL
secret exits when you are wearing it, without needing to use any
ability.

- A diamond pipe. 9 MCs. This pipe is cleverly designed to allow you to
get 15 puffs out of any plant you put in it, rather than 10.

- a Sceptre of Aqueous Mastery. 10 MCs. Wielding this sceptre, you can
part water like a priest and flood a room like a magi. CAST FLOOD and
POINT SCEPTRE <direction of water>.

You may find the Shop of Wonders located north of the Miscellaneous
Artefact Shop in Delos.

All items are resetting and non-decay.
