The
contents of this page describe some of the useful items, goods,
and services available in Legacy. To simplify finding relevant information, the lists are broken up into several categories: Travel, items and services involving transport about Britannia. Weapons and Armour, new ways to attack and defend oneself. Clothes, worn for decoration or protection from the elements. Miscellaneous Items, items which do not fit the other categories. Other Services, things people can do for you. OOC Functionality, things which are useful to a player, but not considered in character, for bugfixes or similar.
Shipping:
Passage from Britain to Spektran, Terfin, Cove and Serpent's Hold is available from the Britain docks. Erik sells the writs of passage. Mark Crystal:
The Mark Crystal is a glowing greenish crystal, cut into the shape of a tetrahedron. They may be purchased from mages for 750 gold crowns. When used by any individual upon a rune, the crystal has the effect of a Mark spell upon it. It contains two charges, and the crystal vanishes when those charges are expended.
Recall Wands:
These are for non-mages to use to recall. They are available from mages for 50 gold per charge, in values of 5, 10, and 20 charges.
Runes:
Runes are a magical item which may be encoded with a destination by the use of a Mark spell. By use of the Recall spell, a caster may travel to the place that the rune was marked, or by use of a Gate spell, a caster may open a temporary portal to that place. For those who lack the skill needed to cast either spell, there are recall wands available from mages, and for those who cannot mark the runes, mark crystals may also be purchased.
Steeds:
Mystic steeds are available from the tamer Zalim of Britain, albeit for a high price.
The Travel Mage:
In the jungles north of the Cape of Heroes and southwest of Trinsic can be found the mad mage Candal, operating a machine that teleports people to unreachable locations in Britannia [except by purchased ships] It costs 75gp to use his machine and the trip is only one way. Those who wish to use the machine are warned to carry with them a magical means of teleportation to exit the machine's destinations. Candal's Tower may be found at 146o51' south, 38o19' east.
Unstable Moonstone: These useful devices resemble a round orb of polished black obsidian. They were created from the substance of a mysterious meteorite that struck the island of Terfin. Those with even a modicum of magical talent may use them to travel to various destinations about Britannia, though the use of the stones thus consumes both something of the user's magical energies and the reagents of a Recall spell in the transport. Those mages who reach the power of the Eighth Circle may also open red moongates to the same destinations as those of lesser skill can reach. This costs the mage less of his energies than a Gate spell, and consumes the reagents of said spell in the moongate creation. Unstable moonstones may currently be purchased from most mages though they cost 5000 gold crowns.
Firedoom Staff:
These enchanted staves are next to useless for fighting in a physical manner, but are deadly nonetheless, as they may be used to discharge bolts of fire upon their weilder's enemies. Such a staff may be purchased from the Dragonsmith Barthaxiol.
Glass Sword:
These enchanted weapons will slay almost any creature with a single blow. However in so doing the blade shatters, and may not be repaired thereafter. Glass Swords are occaisionally found in treasure, or may be purchased from the Dragonsmith Barthaxiol for a very large sum.
Hook:
Beloved
of pirates, these items are craftable by blacksmiths, with a required
skill of 45. They use the Parrying skill, taking the place of a
normal shield.
Lightning Whip:
The Lightning Whip may be used to strike at a foe with lightning bolts. They can be purchased from the Dragonsmith Barthaxiol.
Mage Staff:
This orb topped staff can be found in the shop of Horance for 1,500 coins. It is rumored that the dragon smith also sells a variant, though at a fierce price.
Main gauche:
The Main Gauche is a secondary weapon carried by some dextrous warriors. It is used to parry blows as much as to inflict damage upon a foe.
Necromantic Staff:
A craftable item to be released with the Necromancy skill.
Ranger Armour:
The Rangers of Skara Brae make their own armour, designed to be light weight and silent, that they may better move unseen and unheard in the wilderness. While they refuse to devulge the secret of manufacturing their armour, it is sold by Laurence of Skara Brae, for a high price, depending on the size of the piece of armour.
Ranger Scout Armour:
For missions that are intended to involve moving quickly or careful observation rather than combat, the Rangers of Skara Brae sometimes use lighter armour. Like their more usual gear, this is sold by Laurance, but the secrets of the crafting are kept silent. Scout armour is lighter than Ranger armour, but also less protective.
Serpentine Sword:
The traditional weaponry of the Library of Scars, these flamberge style swords can be purchased from Master Syria for 2,500 gold coins.
Tangled staff:
Crafted by only the most skilled of carpenters, this gemmed staff is great for walking, and can be used in self defense, if pressed. It is rumored that the dragon smith offers its variants, but for a steep price.
Wizard Staff:
This orb topped and gold banded staff can be found in the shop of most mages for 1,500 coins. Enchanted versions of this weapon are sold by the Dragonsmith.
Magic Weapons Vendor:
There
is a Dragonsmith in a cavern in the mountains north of the Dungeon
Wrong. He is bound within the cave, but is still desires to increase
his hoard of treasure. For a price Barthaxiol will sell his wears
to those who dare venture into his lair at 135°36' North, 47°31'
East. Weapon

Copying Pens are an invaluable tool for a scribe intent on duplicating the content of books. They are used to make exact copies of the content of the book in another tome. The volume to contain the copy must be provided by the user. The scribes keep pens free for use in most collections of books, and also sell pens with enough ink for 5 volumes to be copied for 1000 gold crowns. Equipable Book:
A book using the spellbook gump, good for someone holding a book they're writing notes in. Sold by scribes for 1200.

Various hues, used for different environments or seasons are available, Original (the usual colour of Ranger or Scout Armour), Winter, Rustic, Stealth, Formal, Forest, and Sand.
Skillbooks:
These ensorcelled tomes are usually found in treasure chests. They grant the reader insight into a given skill, then vanish without a trace. When found the books are typically under a concealing enchantment. This spell may be penetrated by a skilled scribe (65 skill at inscription), or by using the Lens of Translation at the Lycaeum. However the latter requires a substantial (1000 gold crown) donation for the service. Once the enchantment is penetrated, the book takes on another hue, and its title may be read. Each is unique and quite distinctive.
Spectacles:
Sold by scribes for 1000.
Spellbook binders:
Available in different colors, a skilled mage can personally customize their own spellbooks with these. They are sold in the Lycaeum dormitory for 40,000 gold crowns, and require 80+ magery to use.
Spells: There are several unconventional spells that may be purchased from mages for use. The present ones are Cordain's Thaw, Nicodemus' Ice Serpent, Venetus' Ward, Sutek's Swarm, Mariah's X-it, Nystul's Dismissal, and Wis-Sur's Transmute. These scrolls cannot be added to a spellbook due to engine limitations, and can be lost with other possessions. However they are not consumed when used, but instead require mana and reagents like any spell being cast from a book. Details on what each individual spell does can be found on the Spells page.
Treasure Maps:
Found rarely on various creatures around the lands, these carry great risk to the would-be treasure hunters, but for those who can track down the hidden prizes and defeat the guardians, there may well be great reward. Treasure maps may be decoded using the Cartography skill. More details may be found here.
Waterskin:
A waterskin is a sealed container in which water may be carried for later use. They are available from Greg the Provisioner of Britain for 500 gold crowns. A waterskin contains enough liquid for 10 uses. They may be used for drinking from, washing bandages, putting out fires, filling cauldrons, or simply wetting creatures or items. They may be refilled from wells or fountains.
Hiring an Assassin:
The
Black Circle has always been willing to accept commissions. Of course
dealing with assassins has its own obvious drawbacks, both before
and after the fact... Also note that hiring an assassin requires dealing with Portiff in Minoc, which in itself is considered treason.
Town Criers: For a mere 500 gold crowns, the town criers can be paid to advertise a business for a time. The text can be no longer than one whole line of UL text. If you can say it ingame without having to break it up, so can the town criers.
