Does anyone know if it's likely that Wyrmtongue's stuff (specifically the weapons) are or will be on the infamous do-not-alter list ala Thryntyrlz's bags?
I was kind of wowed at the starting price for consultations (100 plat!) and it made me rather suspicious.

I think the do-not-alter status of the Bagmaker's items is a myth. I've personally had three of Thryntyrlz's bags altered, and none were done by Thryntyrlz himself. One was an LTB, one was a premie alterer and one was a wandering alterer.
Don't know anything about Wyrmtongue though, sorry.

Did you have any of the changeable backpacks or pouches done or just the 'normal' unchangeable, unlockable backpacks?

I'm not sure if it's officially on the "do not touch" list, but I tried to use dragonfire amber and dragon's blood crystal in an alteration with the Trader jewelry merchant last week. It may have simply been his roleplay or perhaps they really are on the list, but he refused to work with those particular gems. I ended up getting a voucher from him instead, since I didn't have anything else I wanted altered and preferred to wait until I could use those gems. I was really looking forward to using them, too. :( Perhaps the owner of Wyrmtongue's will allow them in alterations.

Question About Alterations

Hi there, Galren here. Longtime DR player, first time alteration... uh... winner?
Anyways, I've got this battered and practically destroyed pirate bow... now out of curiosity... could the bow itself be altered and if so would it be repaired or just magically changed into a Crossing longbow?
Any help for this alteration novice is appreciated.

If you make sure to tell them what it is, there should be no (significant) danger of it being switched.
And no, an alterer can only change an item's look. A special 'alterer' comes around to fix it.
So I asked this God a question
and by way of firm reply,
He said: "I'm not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays".

Galren, the person you want to keep an eye out for is Craftsman Daewek. He only repairs wooden weapons, and will not alter the appearance of the item. When he was last available his fee was 10% of the appraisal of the weapon, or a minimum of 5 gold. He appeared in the Seacaves to do work for Premium members, so if you're not premie you'll have to either have a premie get it done for you next time he has a session, or hope to catch him when he's outside of the Seacaves. I can't imagine they would restrict a service like that to premies only, so he's bound to pop up elsewhere eventually.
There have been other people in the past who did repair work, but Daewek is the only one I know of who is still in business.

I realize, generally, that alterers will not alter the actual properties of an item beyond aesthetic changes.
However, let's say I have a very nice unique set of juggling items. And let's say I've outgrown them.
Would it ever be possible to convince an alterer to just changing the weight of the item, so long as it does not bypass the storebought cap (50 stones iirc)?

I would try for the player-supplied item route. If you can supply an item that is obviously larger and therefore heavier they might accept the sacrifice and change your item.
Might still get rejected, but it's a better tack than asking for a simple stat change that you already know the GMs will say no to.

You know, I have to wonder slightly about this too..
I have a 56 point altered bloodwood longbow -- when I got it and had it altered, 56 points was the cap on longbows. Now they've added mistwood/copperwood/silverwood and upped it to 60 points. Would be pretty cool if I could get the 4 points added back to my bow, since it was capped when I bought it & had it altered.
No, points don't make as much difference to a cleric as a ranger, but if I were ever to put it up for sale or something, those 4 points are gonna cut the value down A LOT. Also.. good cure for fits of OCD :)

While I'm sure it's possible that an alterer will someday do this, It would probably also be exceptionally rare.
Are they altered jugglies, or just something unique that you've acquired? You'd probably have better luck getting a heavier set of juggling items and having them altered to look just like the old ones.
As far as I know there is no rule against identical alterations, and I've had it done before.

They were a unique acquisition. Also an auction item, IIRC.

These ones are 30 stones I believe. I'd like a heavier set, someday.
