23.2.4.1 Transmute Beetles

Transmute beetles are a special item that will change the appearance of the item that the beetle is attuned for. This works similarly to NPC forgers in cities that alter item appearances. They are generally purchasable with special currency at various locations.

Specific transmute beetles can also be purchased with transmute vouchers, also known as beetle vouchers, which can then be exchanged in the shop at before the bridge to Esterport (v1180), west of Esterport. You can check how many transmute vouchers you have with the CURRENCY command.

Beetles must be stored in beetle storage using the BEETLE command. Syntax overview:

BEETLES PROBE <beetle#>

BEETLES INSERT <item>
Insert a beetle item into your storage, permanently unlocking it. This cannot be undone.

TRANSMUTE <item> WITH <beetle#>
For a cost of 5000 gold sovereigns, this will transmute the item into the new style.
