release Unlocking Polymorph Marbles From Chests: A Guide

[Queen]

Hello everyone,

In this article, I want to discuss how you can obtain Polymorph Marbles featuring various monsters from specific chests in the game. While this method isn't officially confirmed, players have had success with it. Let's dive into how you can implement this.

Acquiring Polymorph Marbles

To start, it’s important to note that simply providing a Polymorph Marble won’t transform you, as it lacks a mob VNUM for proper polymorphing. Here’s a method to set it up effectively.

Step-by-Step Implementation

   Locate this file in your project and update the enum by adding POLY at the end:
