Saw a Wookiee at the starport wearing a pink apron that actually had the words "Kis the Wook" written on it.


WOW!


I collect stuff with writing on it. The shuttle left before I had a chance to ask him what it was exactly.

Can you help me identify it so I don't have to harass the tailors on my server with "I need that thing that that guy had" /tells?

(I hate em too.)

Probably just a Chef's Apron (plain non-schematic one). I don't think the text is supposed to actually be readable so you might just be thinking it says that when it didn't.

You can read it.


There's all kinds of writing scattered around, some of it quite funny. Theaters, streetsigns, gravestones, resource containers, cloning chambers, I noticed a lot in the new player walkthrough on the space station. It's all over. Somethings aren't readable, like house and shop signs, but a LOT are.

Yeah if you start just a little you'll be able to "read" it.
When I went to DisneyLand on the Indy ride there's all sorts of messages on the walls in "heiroglyphs". They're actually very close to the real alphabet and after awhile staring at them I could start to read them

My favorite are the street signs, such as the ones at the outskirts of Mos Espa, with the ever so-useful text "Street sign"

No problem. That's what I'm here for.


...Hey! Wait a dang minute!


Anyway... *harumph*


I never knew about it until SWG. I read about being able to read the theater posters, and then I started hunting for it, like easter eggs. Once you get through a couple of signs, you're able to read it almost like normal, and it seems to "stick" once you've got the vowels down. It's easier to read than a lot of the posts in the game guides forum.


P.S. I found one and bought it.I'm atwork, butas I recall itsays KIS (TH)E (SH)EF with the th and the sh being single characters. If anyone wants to know. If I was a tailor, I'd tell em it says Kiss the Wook. I think it'd sell better.
