Do you have to be in game for the LTB scroll to finish the alteration?
I've typed accept and can't be in game a lot to wait for it to poof into the new item.
A ship's rat scurries into view.
The ship's rat tries to tend its wounds.
If you've typed accept, the item has poofed, and it hasn't popped into your hand in 10 minutes (or within 10 minutes of your logging in again), please drop me a note and let me know which character had the scroll (and what year it was if possible) so I can give the Gnomes a good thwack. Sometimes they like an alteration so much, they think we won't notice if they just keep it. ;)

From what I've seen, alterers don't like to make <profession>'s items these days. Also, sniper's items offer a bonus (reduction in penalty?) to sniping. You can't do things like that with most alterations.
I doubt they would let you do it.

The salesgirl gives you a funny look. "This lirum is worth more than 15 lirums!"

I am not sure about this. When I had my cloak made, I was told it could be made as long as it already existed in the realms. So I made a swordman's cloak, as well as dueling pants and shirts. Sniper bows exist, so it may be able to be done. But as mentioned, it won't give you the bonus, so maybe not. I would say the best thing to do would be to try and see what the individual alterer said.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

I don't think so in cases where there's an inherent bonus or special properties to something. For example, you cannot alter armor or weapons to say "a kertig broadsword" until the GM verifies it does in fact have kertig in it. Likewise I doubt you'd have any luck getting a scimitar altered to be a T'kashi Mirror Blade. The potential for abuse alone would reason to deny such things.

The limitation on profession-type items hinges greatly on justifying it in the appearance, I think. "Sniper's" is a bad example since there are some mechanics implied by the designation, but I've had an alteration done using a similar descriptor (and known at least one other person who did the same). These were both recently, so not a matter of getting them done current policies were active.

I know this may have been answered in the past but I can't seem to find it. This is my first LTB alteration so I'm not sure exactly how this works.
I spent 900 points on a altering scroll and wanted to know if the following is possible to do with this scroll:
I have a fitted robe of mottled red silk with a billowing amber overlay with a few verbs on it.
With this scroll can I change the tap and the look and if so, how? If not, what do I need to be able to change both? I don't really care too much about the verbs, I'm just looking for a new tap and look. I tried to use the write new verb with both descriptions in the write command and it didn't work.
If someone can please let me know if this is possible and how can I do it? Thanks in advance.

It's been a little while since I used one of the scrolls but I'm pretty sure you hold the item you want altered in the left hand and the scroll in the right hand and use one of the WRITE commands (probably write new) followed by how you want it to be altered.
You can alter the tap, the look and the read descriptions on the item.
