			* Since SimuCon2024 makers marks now appear on a separate line and do not need to be incorporated directly into alterations.
	* '''If a mark is present on a piece of equipment, it must be incorporated in the new design'''. There are no exceptions, even if the crafter is present to waive the requirement.
	* Custom maker's marks must retain their full mark in its original form. A custom mark could theoretically be moved from into the READ, assuming such a change makes sense contextually.
	* On standard marks, you do NOT have to keep the exact wording (e.g. "You see the initials 'C. M.' impressed into the surface of the metal"). You can change it to something similar as long as the mark and initials remains on the item.
	* If a mark is not present on an item, and you want to add it to the item, the merchant must be able to independently verify who made it. There appears to be a short window of time (a few days) in which it is possible to tell who made it even without a mark.<ref>Personal alteration experience</ref>		* If a mark is not present on an item, and you want to add it to the item, the merchant must be able to independently verify who made it.
