A new item, with 4 different variants, has been added to the SimuCoin Store. It's a polymorph potion. By drinking it, a character can change their 1) gender, 2) name, 3) race, or 4) profession. All of these uses are permanent and irreversible except with another polymorph potion.

Gender:
Description: a blown glass vial of magenta liquid spiral-wrapped by gold wire
Simply drink the potion and the character will switch between male and female.

Name:
Description: a round-bellied glass cruet of fizzy heliotrope liquid
The character is sent to the [Rename Pavilion] and must pick a new name. Other players will always be able to view any character's renames by viewing their PROFILE:

HISTORY

Formerly known as Merlin, Albus, and Gandalf.

Race:
Description: a square crystal flacon filled with bubbling vermilion liquid
The character is able to TURN the potion to see different silhouettes of all the available races to select which one they will like to change to. When they drink the potion, they are then changed into the new race and their character statistics are recalculated for the new race. This does not include a FIXSTAT.

Profession:
Description: a gold-bound pellucid glass phial filled with carmine liquid
The character is able to TURN the potion to see different silhouettes of all the available professions to select which one they will like to change to. When they drink the potion, they are then changed into the new profession. Their character statistics are recalculated and all skills and guild training are automatically unlearned. This does not include a FIXSTAT.

Costs:
1,000 SimuCoins: Gender
2,500 SimuCoins: Name
17,500 SimuCoins: Race
25,000 SimuCoins: Profession

These potions came at the request of numerous players over the years. With the everchanging game, a choice a player made two decades ago may longer be relevant, but they may not want to create a new character either. Hopefully, these new options will help resolve such issues and offer a better path forward. Please note that these potions will never be offered as a form of compensation for any changes made to GemStone IV.
