    I made this nicely decorated item, but i want to try replacing it with a different material. Is there any way to do this without entirely destroying the decorations?

     No, you would have to reapply the deco on to the new material, I believe so.

    Looks like the console replace method works. However, that is not area specific. Only element specific. Which means you could copy/save the work in pieces and replace the element/areas required through the console and re-assemble.

     Try using !set type <your element> <element to be replaced with> for eg if you want to replace gold with say qrtz without loosing the deco type !set type gold qrtz in console.

    Repeat the process with different elements.

    PROP tool works too if you need it area-specific. Just set it to "TYPE" and enter the element you want :)

    All the above would work. But if the new element is something like COAL or FUSE or IGNC, make sure you set the Life and Tmp values correctly.
