[Ebon Gate 2026] Coming Soon… The Resinator
on 02 Oct 2026 at 5:36AM
from the Official GemStoneIV Discord
on #forums/paid-events/ channel
So, the Resinator? What makes it so modular?
Well, I’m glad (you) I asked! Right now, it is limited in capability ONLY because I ran out of time, however I have PLANS for future releases.
Okay, well, what can it do NOW?
Well, the base Resinator box will allow you to take a foraged item (not herbs, though) and turn it into a gem using resin. The resulting gem will be organic, if that makes a difference to you all. But let’s start with a preview:
You pick up a cluster of jungle geranium blossoms.
>put bloss in my box
WARNING: All foraged items added to your box will be permanently destroyed. If you are certain you wish to continue, please CONFIRM by PUTting (or DROPping) your blossoms into your box again.
>put bloss in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the jungle geranium blossoms within it, taking care to lower your box’s lid back in place.
>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single jungle geranium blossom. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display.
>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.
Please confirm you wish to create a jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.
>turn my box
You push a button on the side of your resinator box and select enameled.
(cont.)
>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.
Please confirm you wish to create an enameled jungle geranium blossom by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.
>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over jungle geranium blossom. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.
You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an enameled jungle geranium blossom from within your box.
Wait a minute! Did that just get de-pluralized?
Yes… yes, it did. But that’s not all…
>get lemongrass
You pick up a stalk of fresh lemongrass.
>put lemon in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the fresh lemongrass within it, taking care to lower your box’s lid back in place.
>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single white-tipped feathergrass blade. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads white-tipped.
>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over white-tipped feathergrass blade. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.
You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw an amber-encased white-tipped feathergrass blade from within your box.
But that’s a LONG on a GEM item?!
Yes… yes, it is. So at its base, you can manipulate the foraged items as needed.
Why did it become a blade, though?
Because grass is typically a blade (so basically, some foraged items will see their noun switch up based on what makes sense for a singular noun… just be aware that ear of corn will stay ear of corn because corn ear feels weird).
So I can make gems with it? Long-alter gems?
Yep! Some things will only work with the base 15/15/15, however there are others that will handle long descriptions when used.
Okay, but what else?
Welp, it’s better I show you…
>get mold
You pick up a shoe-marked oiled soapstone mold.
>nudge my mold
You carefully nudge your oiled soapstone mold into a small slot on the front of your box.
>l my box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing an empty interior. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a blank display. A curved tab etched with the words “Cobbling Settings” sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.
>get clustervine
You pick up a star-leafed sky blue clustervine.
>put cluster in my box
You lift the lid of your resinator box and gingerly place the sky blue clustervine within it, taking care to lower your box’s lid back in place.
>l box
A clear glass lid caps the box, revealing a single clustered vermilion fire moss. On one side, connected to a small sluice and plug, is a dark glaes tube that sits less than half-full of resin. The opposite side features a small button beneath a display that reads clustered. A curved tab etched with the words “Cobbling Settings” sticks out in the front, indicating a mold has been inserted into the box.
>push my box
Just as you are about to push the sluice plug on your resinator box, you stop to verify what you plan to make.
Please confirm you wish to create a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines by PUSHing your resinator box again in the next 30 seconds.
>push my box
You push the sluice plug on the side of your resinator box, and slowly, resin begins to seep through the connected tube and over star-leafed sky blue clustervine. Following a subtle flash of light, you hear a pop from within, signaling that the curing process is complete.
You lift the lid, reach in, and withdraw a set of resin-encased sky blue clustervines from within your box.
>l my cluster
The clustervines, which appear to be made from resin-encased sky blue clustervines, could be used when cobbling to make footwear that is:
studded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-studded
inset with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-inset
buttoned with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-buttoned
beaded with resin-encased sky blue clustervines resin-encased sky blue clustervine-beaded
But why didn’t it keep the original article in the settings like it did with the gem?
… because do you see how long it is already? You want your whole shoe to just be a setting? However, if you want to keep the original article instead of replacing it, you can (except for when considering words like “cluster”, “stalk”, etc).
Okay, but what about the resin?
Good question! Resin can be added to your Resinator to increase charges.
How do we get the resin?
Another good question! For now, it will be for sale at Resin and Releaf, but I’m hoping to have an announcement regarding [redacted]
soon! Once [redacted]
is available, I will let you know. It will not be available for the PERM-ifier because of [redacted]
.
Is the resin edible?
Why would any ask that… but technically, yes. Technically, you can drink the resin. However, technically it is TOXIC and you WILL die if you drink it. No unpoison, you will die. Period. Don’t drink the resin…. but if you do, please share with the class what you learned.
Is there anything else I should know?
Right now? No. but please do keep the ideas coming. I want to make this as modular as possible, and if there is something you think could benefit from resin casting, I’m all ears. (I already have some things in mind, and Vanah has feature-creeped me on some things. What it is right now was the result of initial feature creep which made me semi-start over to rewrite the script).
More molds? How will we store them?
Can I alter my resinator box to actually be a “resinator box”?
No, absolutely not.
I think I got it all! If you have any questions that were not already covered, please feel free to ask!

on #forus/paid-events channel
No shock here. Lightning Edition, Vacuum Edition, Fire Edition, and Frost Edition versions of Twisted Gloves are going to be available this Ebon Gate. The perfect compliment to Twisted Kicks released last year.
Refreshed Shop: Sparked Interest (Lightning edition)
New Shop: Fingers Crossed (Vacuum, Fire, and Frost editions)
What might not have been expected, however, is Script Adding is being made available this year for these editions at this Ebon Gate, in addition to Script Adding for Twisted Kicks. No need to wait a year! These “certificates” will be for handwear and footwear that already have Lightning, Vacuum, Fire, or Cold weapon ability flares. As it is with other Twisted armament scripts, you must purchase the correct Script Adding item for the associated flare and item type.

From Aether and Bloom Apothecary, a line of luxury preparations for use in your portable and permanently affixed tubs.
>sprinkle jar in tub
Holding your arm over a creamy pink marble tub, you gently sprinkle the contents of your glass jar into the water. The scented soap flakes dissolve into the water, forming a thick lather of pale bubbles that drift lazily across the surface. You detect the faint scent of roses.

You deposit a small amount of soap from your glass jar into your palm and then rub your hands together. You apply the soap generously to your face, the rich lather working to remove the impurities from the surface of the skin.
Lingering on your skin is the faint scent of roses.
>look Vaella
You see Vaella.
She appears to be a Human.
She is tall. She appears to be very young. She has long-lashed pale blue eyes and fair skin. She has long, touseled smoke-hued hair gathered over one shoulder and woven with dried flowers. She has a heart-shaped face, a small nose and full, blush-tinted lips. A magnificent beard of soap bubbles clings to her face.
Wait! There’s still more! Thanks to GM @Vanah , you’ll be able to choose from a plethora of scents for your spa products OR pour in your own favorite perfume.
PS. Someone please tell Katara so she can stop bugging the tubs. 💕
PPS. Vaella will be working at merchant week to provide custom sit messaging for folding chairs AND tubs. Don’t miss out.

Available in the Roof Over is a doorbell contact that will allow a private property owner to customize and install a doorbell in or outside their private property.
Any merchant can customize what the doorbell will look like when installed. The item should make sense for something that is outside a property and sounds inside any room, such as a button, bell, door knocker, chimes, etc. Long descriptions and show descriptions are simultaneously allowed but require two separate alteration sessions to have both.
The contract can be turned to cycle through several different messaging types which echo throughout the private property when the doorbell is rung:
You hear the gentle ringing of a bell.
You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by the discreet voice of a servant, “(Person) awaits outside and desires entrance.”
You hear the gentle ringing of a bell followed by a soft whisper, “(Person) is ringing for entry.”
The gentle tinkling of chimes announces a visitor.
The resounding clap of a door knocker announces a visitor.
The resounding strike of a gong announces a visitor.
Custom: You may submit this doorbell contract to Sadie as a delayed service. Sadie can customize the message seen by the visitor who rings the bell as well as the message seen by anyone else in the visitor’s room. Sadie can also customize what anyone in your private property hears when someone rings the bell. Each custom option carries the 300-point cost for a customization and must go through delayed QC. The entire contract can be customized at one time for 1200 premium points.
The property owner can RAISE the doorbell contract while standing in the room where you want to install the doorbell. If you wish to place it ON a portal leading to your property or ON an item in your property, RAISE doorbell contract AT {DOOR}.

Doorbells can also be placed inside the private property, such as a dinner bell in the kitchen calling all in the property to eat; in the bedroom letting the household know that the mistress is awake; a dog barking that echoes through the property.

[Ebon Gate] Stationery Box
on 07 Oct 2026 at 11:43AM
from the Official GemStoneIV Discord
on #forums/paid-events channel
The Elidi-Vanah alliance presents to you updates to the stationery box!
Off the Shelf
Newly purchased boxes will generate with keys that match the box’s lock.
Elanthian Binder and ink, Flower Press, Paper Maker, Message in a Bottle bottles, greeting cards, Invisible Ink Pens, and confetti punches can now be stored in the stationery box.
Paper with long descriptions or shows may now be PUSHed into the box to stack the paper.
Can be analyzed anywhere.
Works if placed alongside you at your feet.
Envelope Unlock
You may purchase an unlock that adds stationery envelopes as something you can PUSH into the box to stack.
EXTINGUISH will remove a stacked envelope again.
PERM-ified paper Unlock
Paper and envelopes PUSHed in can be duplicated via the PLUCK verb (for paper) or EXTRACT verb (for envelopes).
PULL and EXTINGUISH will still remove one stacked paper or envelope at a time; once all are removed, you can PUSH in a new piece and change which item is stored.
Stay-Put Unlock
Adds Stay-Put qualities to a stationery box, allowing you to PLACE it on the ground for up to 4 hours, or until you remove it again in a private property.
Frees up a hand for writing, stamping, folding, decorating.
You can customize what the box looks like when placed, allowing you to create a desk or other furniture.
When placed, you can PROD the desk to toggle it between anyone being able to access its contents vs only you.
These unlocks, a box, and some stationery envelopes will be available in the Naidem shop A Vague Inkling.
You can NUDGE them instead of place them if you already have a desk and want the box on top
there’s no block so you could NUDGE a desk onto a table or whatever but you know, decorate however you want
This uses stationery envelopes and not mailing envelopes. Stationery envelops generally hold two items, so can hold a greeting card with an item such as confetti, flower, or bank note stored inside. Stationery envelopes can be dyed, spoodered, and similar to the Cheval Mirror, take the color of your lip gloss by Naidem or apiary jar lip balm and use it in the color of the lip print if you KISS the stationery envelope. You can also use mailing wax and mailing stamps on stationery envelopes, and once stamped, a stationery envelope may be mailed.

GM Vanah has been teaming up with a lot of people this Ebon Gate. Myself included.
Let me ask you a few questions…
Have you ever wanted to share your own cooked food with friends?
Have you ever brewed a cup of tea or a pot of coffee and though, I do wish that they could share this with me….
What if we told you that you could?
Gazing over the various tableware items stored within your basket, you mentally catalog each in turn:
Fork : a two-tined scrimshawed bone fork featuring sea lions
Spoon : a deep-bowled scrimshaw bone spoon displaying anemones
Knife : a serrated steel knife affixed to a whale-motif scrimshaw handle
Chopsticks : a pair of heron-motif scrimshaw bone chopsticks
Teaspoon : a dainty scrimshaw ivory teaspoon featuring pandanus leaves
Plate : a blue-glazed terracotta plate with an unfinished bottom
Saucer : a shell-shaped fragile white porcelain saucer
Napkin : an ebon-embroidered barkcloth napkin in russet and ecru
Teapot : You’ve not added a design for this type of tableware item yet.
Teacup : You’ve not added a design for this type of tableware item yet.
Pitcher : You’ve not added a design for this type of tableware item yet.
Glass : You’ve not added a design for this type of tableware item yet.
Carafe : You’ve not added a design for this type of tableware item yet.
Mug : You’ve not added a design for this type of tableware item yet.
Serving Bowl: You’ve not added a design for this type of tableware item yet.
Bowl : You’ve not added a design for this type of tableware item yet.
Platter : You’ve not added a design for this type of tableware item yet.
With this EG, the Basketifier has an unlock that allows you to if you EMPTY a player-made food item onto the table, it will transfer it onto the table for you. The player-made food only lasts as long as the table is out. After that, the food gets destroyed.
Preserving Breads will have a new room that sells certificates for all of the above.“`
Also added was a requirement that the basket be register it before putting it out and the timer now in SPELL ACTIVE.

Quintan Manse – The hair bauble has been added to the manse. Its unlock certificates were always there and I didn’t realize it wasn’t there, too. This is also true of the Black Rose deck. I meant to do it last year.. and poof, right out the brain.
Blindman’s Bounty
This will feature the return of the Beggar’s Attire but will have a new item added to it. The blindfold and cane now have a tier 2. When I get a moment, I’ll update the wiki.
The new item is the leper’s clapper.
You analyze the wooden clapper and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
Leper’s Clapper
Part of the Beggar’s Attire line, the clapper is a worn wooden clapper with two paddles, of the sort once used to announce a leper’s presence or to appeal for alms. It must be held to be used.
The clapper is tier 1 of 2. It can be unlocked by a voucher.
Available Verbs: Clap (may be targeted), Shake, Wave, and Tuck
Alterations:
You may alter the clapper freely so long as it remains a handheld clapper, rattle, or similar noisemaker with two paddles that knock together.
The Sable Quietus This shop moved from DR to EG. It had been close for a number of years in DR but its theme is very much EG. It is the home of the plague masks. I’m working on a new item to add to it in 2027.
Plague Mask
Plague Cowl
Plague Overcoat – Updated to allow robe.
Scaboisa’s Simple Seams (Delayed opening)
The simple seams line is actually what it sounds like. It is scripted clothing that has 4 verb traps on it. It can be dyed and used with the Spider Apothecary.
It comes in the following patterns:
Skirt (which includes various gown nouns)
Shirt (which includes various nouns)
Pants (which includes various nouns)
Cloaks (which includes various nouns)
The shop will also feature a pair of snips and a spool of thread. The thread is used to charge the snips. The snips allow you to add the various zests to the matching, unscripted, noun-approved garment.
Snips come with 5 charges, and each thread is 500 soul shards to add 5 charges.
