The cord i think may just be fluff.

The apron was broke for me in the exact same way for me- I should have assisted but instead I threw it away :)

>As for the apron: this is an even bigger disappointment.

I believe the apron will only accept items that match your phantom item.

The chain I just picked up (from Dirge) within the past week works just fine.

I have a carver's wallet decorated with ebony studs which works just like the aprons sold in festivals that you all are discussing. Mine came filled with 30 ebony blocks, and that is what you were seeing when you looked in your apron - the pre-loaded blocks you purchased with the apron that match its decoration - in your case, onyx. You can see the blocks in there when you look in and also by using the "inventory (container)" option. The true wonder of these containers is that they reduce your inventory count by reducing the number of blocks stored in them down to one.

These blocks can be removed ("get block from (container)") and then carve into beads. The containers are also refillable, so when my wallet was empty, I went to my local block shaman and bought 30 more ebony blocks, putting them all into the wallet for future use.

MRDAHJR1971, when you said you carved a block and tried to put it in your onyx-decorated apron, I am not understanding what you are trying to do. Your apron will only hold onyx blocks, it already contains onyx blocks that you can see, and you can't carve onyx blocks from anything I am aware of in game. Your particlar apron will only hold blocks you buy since its designated for onyx. Also, once you carve your block in even just the first step of the process of making a bead, it will no longer fit back into its container, but it will go on your prayer chain when fully carved into a bead.

Alden, I'm sorry to hear that you threw your apron away. If you or anyone wants to try these block containers between festivals, they are sold in the Cleric Shop in Muspar'i and offer ebony, onyx, oak, crystal, and wood versions. They come fully loaded, are easily refillable, reduce your inventory count, and really help make a cleric's devotional needs a snap to maintain. I purchases mine within a week of the new devotional needs and am very glad that I did.

There is nothing in there.

What were you referring to?


Also, onyx: this is a stone. This can't be foraged, can it?

And what about the "onyx?" I'm not going to have to resort to buying material from a store to carve blocks, am I, with this apron? I had hoped to be able to forage up the material freely.

Eh ok I'll just hafta try and find an apron the holds ebony blocks or even oak. Pretty sure those can be foraged.

I find carving blocks to be to irritating and not rewarding enough- I like buying them and avoiding that part- if you are going to carry blocks around anyway I prefer just to buy them.

Ebony can be foraged outside the Ne Gate in the Crossing and Rugglestone Close the room with the Gazebo. In Theren near the jousting area. The Ratha the green. There's a bunch of other places but I can't remember at the moment sorry!
