Roxia appears to be clueless. Maybe this is an isolated occurrence, I don't know. Don't know if any of you have had similar experiences with her or not. About a year ago I was shield bashing with a gleaming eonake tower shield that inspected as wood and I was tracked down by a gm to have it changed to inspect as eonake. I recently acquired a couple more, so I thought I'd just assist and have it done before enchanting them since magic metals are easier to enchant than wood. This is what followed:
You remove a gleaming eonake tower shield from on an armor stand.

You hear the faint creak of a pulley turning behind the wall. The weapon rack, armor stand, and clothing wardrobe ascend into the ceiling above. Two panels slide open on the floor, and a magical item bin and a deep chest disappear into their hidden depths.

[Paupers, Vault]
Light from several torches flickers over silver sconces fastened to the walls. Legend has it that this heavily carpeted, soundproofed vault once successfully protected a king's ransom from an attempted siege by rampaging barbarians. Few have attempted to breach the security of the members' steel-reinforced storage lockers in modern times, for tales of the consequences abound and are not for the faint of heart. You also see a steel door and a curtained opening.

Your SIGN OF SMITING is no longer effective.

You carefully inspect your eonake tower shield.
Your careful inspection of a gleaming eonake tower shield allows you to conclude that it is a medium shield that protects the bearer if carried in the left hand. You determine that you could wear the shield, slinging it across your shoulders and back. The shield appears to serve some purpose.
It looks like this item has been mainly crafted out of wood.

You see GameHost Perezz.
He appears to be a Dark Elf.
He is average height and appears to be very young. He has piercing stormy grey eyes and olive skin. He has shoulder length, tied back steel grey hair with a black streak running through it. He has a gaunt face, a small nose and a pronounced jawline.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a raccoon fur hat with a striped tail hanging down the back, a large bear claw necklace, a shiny silver medallion, a blue and green plaid wool scarf with knotted fringe, a carved obsidian crow pin, some fur-lined fingerless leather gloves, a weathered leather game satchel slung over his shoulder, a fringed buckskin jacket, some rusted metal traps suspended from a battered leather belt, some fringed buckskin leggings, and some rugged leather boots.

You see GameMaster Roxia the Privateer.
She appears to be a Human from Araime Clan.
She is taller than average and appears to be young and untried. She has brown eyes and ebon skin. She has long, thickly-braided red hair tied back in white linen kerchief. She has a heart-shaped face, a flaring nose and an obvious scar across her throat. Disconcertingly, she floats along half an inch above the ground instead of touching it.She has a tiny butterfly on her ankle.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a gleaming eonake tower shield in her right hand.
She is wearing some ink black spiked steel plate, a simple white robe tied with a linen sash, a silver scroll-shaped locket, an ivory-inlaid platinum headband, a crystal amulet, a tiny furry roa'ter pin, a large gold hoop earring, a new and shiny silver locket, a custom-made kitten sling, a wicker hamper, a gold star, a blue furry roa'ter pin, a soft white linen pouch clasped with a large gold bead, a pair of simple rope sandals, a polished copper arrow pin, some round gold-framed spectacles, a large trash bag, and a red begonia.

You rub your chin thoughtfully.

Roxia asks, "Where did you get this?"
>
You say, "Bought it from a folk."
>
You nod to Roxia.

The fires from the torches suddenly die down as an eerie cackle is heard from down the hallway. The laughter fades, and the torches blaze once more.

You say, "Same wif da odder one."

You smile.

You say, "Er... nice trash bag ya has..."
>
You nod to Roxia.
>
You fidget.
>
You say, "Dere be barrels around town fer such, ya know."

Roxia grins at you.

Roxia says, "I know. But I like to pick up stuff as I go."
>'wha'e'r floats yer boat...
You say, "Wha'e'r floats yer boat..."

You work your fingers under your eonake crown and scratch your head.

You realize there are some important matters you should tend to . . . later.
>
You say, "Da odder one be in me shop."
>
You ask, "Shall I run an get it?"
>
You say, "Or ya come wif me in a moment."
>
You raise an eyebrow in Roxia's direction.
>
Roxia says, "Hold on."
>
You bow to Roxia.
>
Roxia says, "I tried changing the material to eonake, but it seems that shields should not be made from eonake."
>
You blink.

Roxia rubs her chin thoughtfully.
>
You say, "Odd."
>
Roxia begins chuckling at Perezz!

Roxia taps a gleaming eonake tower shield, which is in her right hand.

Roxia says, "So, this is a little od."
>
Roxia says, "Odd."
>
You say, "Shore is."
>
Roxia says, "Because it's a metal/wood mix."
>
Roxia says, "Thing is, real shields are often wooden."
>
You agree with Roxia.
>
Perezz agrees with Roxia.
>
Roxia says, "And I think the eonake is more of a layer or decoration than the essence of the shield."
>
Roxia asks, "Does that make sense?"
>
You say, "I've had others changed before."
>
You say, "So other than that, yes."
>
Roxia nods.
>
Roxia says, "I can't really change it to eonake, though."
>
You ask, "Is it working properly?"

Roxia says, "It should be."

You ask, "So it's sanctified wood?"
>
You ask, "+25?"
>
Speaking to you, Perezz says, "I think she should bolt you and we can check."
>
Perezz snickers.

You say, "Amusing."

You turn away from Perezz, ignoring him.

You smile at Roxia.

Perezz begins pouting.

Roxia chuckles.

Roxia says, "Well, okay...."
>
Roxia says, "It seems to be working as a sanctified object."
>
You say, "Cause it be eonake."

You chuckle.

Roxia says, "It says it should flare, if used offensively."

You say, "Awrighty."
>
You ask, "And be of 5 enchants?"
>
You raise an eyebrow in Roxia's direction.

Roxia says, "As a shield--eonake doesn't really make a difference."

You say, "Except that it's sanctified."

Roxia nods to you.

You nod.

Roxia says, "And it's five enchancts."

Roxia offers you a gleaming eonake tower shield. Type ACCEPT to accept the offer or DECLINE to decline it. The offer will expire in 30 seconds.

You accept Roxia's offer and are now holding a gleaming eonake tower shield.

You ask, "Wood should be -20, no?"
>
Roxia says, "So, although it's a little confused."
>
Roxia says, "It's 5x, above the normal 4x shield enchantment."
>
You ask, "It is +25?"
>
Roxia grins.
>
Roxia says, "+45."
>
You nod to Roxia.

The fires from the torches suddenly die down as an eerie cackle is heard from down the hallway. The laughter fades, and the torches blaze once more.

Roxia says, "+25 plus the normal +20."

You say, "That's what I needed to know."

You smile.

Roxia nods.

You swap your eonake tower shield from your right to your left hand.

You ask, "Armor?"

Roxia rubs her chin thoughtfully.

You say, "I'm just curious, my business is concluded."

You smile.

Roxia says, "No, we wouldn't use eonake for armor."

Perezz smiles.

Roxia nods to you.

You say, "Good to know."

Roxia says, "It just took me a minute to find out."

You say, "So my eonake armor is nice."

You wiggle your eyebrows.

Roxia nods.

The fires from the torches suddenly die down as an eerie cackle is heard from down the hallway. The laughter fades, and the torches blaze once more.

You say, "Thank you for your time."
>
Roxia says, "But sort of meaningless."
>
You say, "Except that it's sanctified."
>
You nod.
>
Roxia says, "Since the properties of eonake don't really matter. Any metal will protect you from the undead."
>
You say, "But not all accept guiding light flares."
>
You say, "Only sanctified."
>
You say, "For combat maneuvers, of course."

Roxia nods.

Roxia says, "That makes sense."

You say, "Good luck wif yer trash collectin."

Roxia says, "Good luck with your incredibly cool gear."
What's funny, is that I edited out the portion where she offers to change my black tower shield (which inspected as wood) to vultite (which she did) even though it mentions vultite nowhere in the description. Yet my eonake tower shield should be wood. I wrote the bottomless black hole that is feedback for some clarification. We'll see if I get it. Thought about assisting with a different account and trying again. Anything else I might try? Thanks.
