It's April and that means no more globes, but we welcome back the artefact cart with several new artefacts available!

Lessons and talisman caches (Invasion, Eldergods, and Moderngods) will also be available at www.achaea.com!

For those of you unfamiliar (or who just want a refresher), the Artefact Cart lets you add your artefacts to your shopping cart on the website and purchase them at a discounted rate directly (30% discount by default, 40% if the purchaser has an Iron Elite membership).

Do note that you do need to be logged in on the website to buy artefacts in this way, so to be sure that your elite bonus always applies if applicable!

On top of the standard 30/40% discount offered by the artefact cart, we're also further discounting select artefact categories throughout the month:

1st through 10th - All class artefacts.
11th through 20th - Stat and regen artefacts, and all things artefact armour.
21st through 30th - All offensive and defensive category artefacts.
These dates are listed on UPCOMING.

Available on the cart for April these new artefacts can be found in the New Artefacts section! (These are not subject to the additional rolling discount.)

• a wyrmskin patch; APPLY PATCH TO PACK to an existing artefact or resetting pack to expand its capacity by 50. This item is consumed on use and only one can be applied to a pack. Artecart Exclusive!
  100 credit value
• a writ of higher education; with this writ in hand, you can LEARN lessons instantly! Artecart Exclusive!
  Learning will only be instant if you have already learned at least one batch of lessons in the skill.
  200 credit value
• a ponderous plume; this will allow you to GLIDE without needing to be in dragonform. (Glide)
  500 credit value
• an ampoule of starlight; for Alchemists, this will allow you to change fields between Sublimation and Formulation every hour instead of every 24, and for free. (master_of_science)
  500 credit value
• an Atlantian quiver and a moon-bright quiver; these are level two and three versions of artefact quivers respectively, holding far more arrows (15 meteors and 1500 standard arrow for level 2, 25 meteors and 2000 standard arrows for level 3.)
  300 and 600 credit value respectively.
• a matrix of primal energy; with this in hand, the time taken to PREVAIL into your elemental form will be reduced by 30%. (Faster_prevail)
  1000 credit value

As always, you can find the artefact cart, credits, and members on the Achaea website at www.achaea.com/credits.

Enjoy!

With city guides and guide updates out of the way, we're going to be making TASK updates next! Keep an eye on this board throughout the month for updates on this project!

Over at www.achaea.com/credits Globes of Shifting Continents are back and keys to the Delos Bank vaults will be available for the duration of March!

All of the Vault prizes can be found in HELP DELOSBANKVAULT and Globes of Shifting Continents contain a variety of prizes upon being opened, including:

• Talisman caches, containing pieces from the Elemental, Marks, and Underworld sets (pick which set you'd like when opening).
• Card sleeves, containing one card from the deck of legends in each. These cards trade in for 33 bound credits, so even if you do not want what you get, you're not out of pocket.
• Mayan crowns.
• Bloodstained shards.
• Customisation credits.
• Artefact discount vouchers.
• A range of artefacts, from very small ones all the way up to statistic altering ones.
• Free reincarnations/trait resets(*).
• Additional tradeskill slots(*).
• Small bonuses such as racetrack tickets or shop carts. These will always be awarded alongside another prize and are not factored into the value of your globe's contents.
• You will not receive free reincarnations, trait resets, or additional tradeskill slots if you already have a means by which to reset your race/traits via artefacts or other means in the former's case, or have 3 or more bonus slots already in the latter's case. You'll receive a different prize instead.

In addition, every 500th globe that is opened will receive a bonus prize: an OFFSPRING TALISMAN.

For globe buyers who have an Iron Elite membership, every 10 globes you buy earns you a free globe. This is cumulative across purchases, so if you buy 3 globes today and 7 globes next week, you'll still get your free globe!

Finally, for 10,000 renown you can purchase a globe from the renown shop once during March!

Hi everyone!

February is upon us already and that means goodbye to dice and hello to the Wheel of Fortune which has returned to the Ace of Spades Casino in New Thera. You can purchase prismatic tokens from the website at www.achaea.com/credits and there is also a token available from the renown shop. Simply WALK TO WHEEL if you can't find it!

We've carried out an audit of the Wheel's prizes this month and made some adjustments to the odds - functionally this means the rarer prizes have been made a bit more likely to occur on your spin, meaning even better overall value!

You can find the full list of what is available from the wheel under HELP WHEEL OF FORTUNE. Talisman caches this month open for races, blackwave, and death.

For February we've also brought back the velvet pouches of chocolates - these can also be obtained from the wheel and convey a range of possible effects which I've detailed below as we haven't seen these for a while!

• Eating one of the chocolates in this pouch will grant a boon to your character or, if you're feeling generous, to someone else for double the benefits.
• The effects that the chocolates can provide range from experience boosts, increased stats, critical hit bonuses, faster movement, increased regeneration, the levitation defence, and the ability to travel to a mutual ally.
• Each of these lasts for 24 hours. Alas, there is also the possibility of being turned into a toad for 20 minutes. Alack!
• If you FEED one of the chocolate to a denizen, you will receive a bonus to all experience gained from killing denizens of that type for 24 hours.
• You can also eat more than one at once - in the event that you get the same effect, the duration of your bonus will be extended!

Enjoy!

December is here!

Later in the month the realm will become entirely festive, Makesh will put his Logosmas wares on sale, Ironbeard will make his rounds, and Merrywick will open once again!

For the promotionally inclined stockings have returned to www.achaea.com/credits featuring a new talisman set, the Wanderer talisman set!

Caches from stockings can also be opened for Logosmas set talismans if desired.

The Wanderer Talisman Set

A large slice of waybread
EAT this waybread once per Achaean day to fully satiate yourself and remove any vestiges of tiredness.

A globe of the aimless
THROW this globe at someone and they will suffer from poor accuracy with their bows for the next five minutes. Can only be used once every 30 minutes.

A tattered parchment
CONSULT PARCHMENT will tell you how many non-player loyals are currently alive in that area.

A wanderer's starchart
This starchart will increase the radius of your visible map when on board a ship.

A Khalasian compass
Possessing this compass will increase your celerity when not upon the Prime Material Plane.

A featureless sculpture
Declare that your foe is a mistake - MISTAKE -, and you will begin a channeled action which, if it resolves, will slay them outright and leave a stone statue of them behind. This sculpture will also change to be the last person you slew with it.

A bloody knife
With this knife in your inventory (not wielded), you may BETRAY a mutual ally and plunge it into their chest. While this does deal some damage, it will also let you balancelessly farsee that person (requires but does not consume equilibrium) for the next thirty minutes. You may only betray someone every ten minutes in this way.

Some woven hand wraps
These unassuming hand wraps convey truly mighty power upon the wearer. You may OVERPOWER <HIGH and send them rocketing into the sky after a channel (longer for each grade of strength). You may only overpower someone in this way every five minutes.

Robes of the wanderer
These robes serve as robes of the magi and cut all mana useage, but also cut willpower useage to a similar degree as well.

See HELP STOCKINGS for all stocking-related commands and to see a complete list of prizes and minimum stocking values!

Every 150 stockings opened will trigger a bonus stocking in the next 50 to be opened, awarding massively increased prizes!

ADDITIONALLY! For every 5 stockings of each type you purchase, you'll receive either a gold or platinum stocking of that tier! So if you purchase 5 fancy stockings, you'll get a gold (or platinum) fancy stocking. Gold and platinum stockings are special and fill up only on Christmas and New Year's Day, respectively!

On January 10th we will also be drawing a raffle! Tickets for this will be gained from opening stockings, and each day you earn your maximum of 2000 renown you will earn a ticket too!

First winner will take home a pair gloves of arrowcatching (or 2000 bound credits if they don't want them)!
Second winner will take home a gold inkbrush!
Third winner will take home a red inkbrush!

Any tickets held by non winners after the raffle is drawn will be converted to 2 bound credits each. (If you win prize 1, 2, or 3, all of your tickets are consumed and do not convert.)

Finally!

All previously hung stockings have been returned to their original owner's inventories, and can be hung fresh for yourselves or new recipients!

It's time to say goodbye to another fun-filled Mayaween, and while Logosmas twinkles on the not-so-distant horizon, let's welcome in November!

As always, we have some fun things in store for this month that we're not going to spoil just yet, so for now, the promotion has changed!

First of all, over at www.achaea.com/credits you'll find the artefact cart, talisman packages (Wonders, Blackwave, Renegades, Eldergods, and Moderngods) and lesson packages all on sale.

For those of you unfamiliar (or who just want a refresher), the Artefact Cart lets you add your artefacts to your shopping cart on the website and purchase them at a discounted rate directly (30% discount by default, 40% if the purchaser has an Iron Elite membership).

Do note that you do need to be logged in on the website to buy artefacts in this way, so to be sure that your elite bonus always applies if applicable!

On top of the standard 30/40% discount offered by the artefact cart, we're also further discounting select artefact categories throughout the month. (These are listed on UPCOMING.)

1st through 10th - All class artefacts.
11th through 20th - Stat and regen artefacts, and all things artefact armour.
21st through 30th - All offensive and defensive category artefacts.

If you purchase caches, every 10 talismans you buy of a talisman set earns you a bonus rare piece from that set.

So if you buy 10 Renegades talisman caches, you'll get a bonus, rare Renegades talisman piece! But, if you buy 3 Renegades caches and 7 Eldergods caches, you won't earn a bonus piece, because the 10 spread across sets.

Secondly, we've added a new talisman shop to Delos, and within you will find most of the Invasion, Planes, and Races talismans available for outright purchase and partial completion! See their respective helpfiles for all of those details!

Enjoy!

The Kartha have departed, leaving behind Lord Scarlatti in their wake! We are looking forward to an artistic revival as He settles in over the coming months!

As we gear up for Mayaween and all of its spooks and scares, keys for caskets are on sale now at www.achaea.com/credits!

Visit the Tomacula graveyard and begin plundering the caskets of the restless dead!

When you have a complete key you can visit the Tomacula graveyard, where they will have an array of 64 caskets waiting to be unlocked (in an 8x8 grid). The prize list that is hidden behind the locked lids is specific, you can see the full list below and at HELP CASKETS. Before you choose which casket to open you can even see what has been won from already opened caskets!

When there are no prizes left, when the special prize has been claimed, or on the first of the month, the restless dead will reset the casket contents to full once more! There is a game announce when this happens!

CASKETS OPEN NUMBER <#> - open a specific unopened casket

CASKETS OPEN - open an unopened casket by coordinates

CASKETS OPENED - list all opened caskets

CASKETS CLOSED - list caskets still to be opened

CASKETS / - view a specific casket

See HELP CASKETS for all of the details on prizes and commands! Keys can be purchased off of the website (or as pieces if you prefer), and one can be purchased in the renown shop per player for this month.
