March in Achaea!
Hi folks!
March has arrived and Year 1000 is on the horizon! Be sure you review UPCOMING for an up to date calendar of the festivities: a wealth of content, lore, events, celebrations, and weeks of fun is at hand!
The long-awaited raffle will be drawn shortly and winners announced after this post.
In the meantime we’re welcoming back polymegahedral dice! These can be obtained on the website via www.achaea.com/credits.
Dice purchases also award House and City credits, and, for Iron Elite members, every 10 you purchase grants you an extra one!
You can roll up to five dice at one time.
DICE ROLL [number of dice to roll (defaults to 1 if unspecified)]
For each two dice rolled in combination in this way you will receive 1 racetrack ticket (so 1 ticket if you roll 2 or 3 in combination, 2 tickets if you roll 4). There is a bonus for rolling all 5 together, so you will receive 3 racetrack tickets if you roll 5 dice together.
Dice currently have six sides. The prizes for each side are as follows (and yes, these dice are weighted).
1: Credits (between 30 and 50).
2: Interlocked caches that open for the Historical, Marks(*), and Planes sets.
3: Legend Deck card sleeves which open for all suits, including cards from the new Ancientstaff** suit! (see below)
4: 1 or 2 Mayan crowns
5: Shining teardrops for use in the FAESHOP, see HELP FAESHOP for details!
* You will always receive between 10 and 15 of these, and they trade in for 3 bound credits per tear (FAESHOP TRADEIN ).
* These can also now be traded with FAESHOP GIVE TO )
6: One of: a silver giftbox, a golden giftbox, a bronze giftbox, or 100 credits.

With the return of the Marks set, the Cloak of the Blood Maiden can now also be obtained in the Delosian Talisman shop, however it has undergone some changes:
– The cloak’s shield cannot be used while prone when under aggression aura (this preserves its use for PvE).
– When used while under aggression aura, there is now a 50% chance to lose one charge.
* The Ancientstaff card suit is the first in a planned series to commemorate adventurer wielders of the Staff of Nicator. Cards include:
– Isildur, the Iceman
* Draw this card while specifying another player and the the first adventure they complete will be worth double renown.
* This does not work on yourself and does not stack with the daily theme bonus, but does not consume the daily theme bonus either.
* Recharges once every 24 hours.
– Shakti Devi
* Draw this card in a direction, and any stonewall barring that path shall be reduced to rubble in its place.
* Recharges once an hour.
– Roncli Op’Shae
* Draw this card while specifying a denizen type, and become aware of all denizens of that type in your area. (e.g LDECK DRAW RONCLI TSOL’DASI will list all Tsol’dasi in the area)
* Recharges once an hour.
– Reiye Wildfang
* Draw this card and be apprised of all adventurers in the land who are visible to your eye, bypassing any obscuring chameleons in the process. (i.e You will see a version of QW with any chameleons revealed)
* Recharges once an hour.
– Jaiszur Ta’sa
* Draw this card against a target in a suitable location and both you and they shall be lifted into the skies.
* Note: This will not function during Championship Worldgames.
* Recharges once an hour.
**NOTE: Ancientstaff cards all have one charge each, and, unlike other suits, have five distinct effects in place of a joker. As such, the Jaizsur card will be obtained on completion of the other four in the suit.
There is a very small chance for a particularly lucky dice to land on its corner. This dice will pay out a platinum giftbox instead of its standard prize!
Every 500 dice rolled (gamewide), the lucky roller will also receive 500 credits on top of their standard prizes.
As always, capping renown 7 times will also award one dice!
And last but not least, the Memory talisman set (HELP MEMORY TALISMANS) is now available in a newly-opened branch of the Delosian Talisman Shop, alongside the writ of higher education (instant learning) which can be found in the Miscellaneous Artefacts shop!
Enjoy!
