December in Achaea!

Phew, we made it! Who thought we wouldn't? Who thought we'd all be toiling under our Tsol'teth overlords by now?

Not us! We in the Garden had faith in you!

To celebrate, (and because it's nearly Logosmas) Logosmas stockings are back again!

These are items that you'll be able to purchase from the website and be able to hang up in-game for you or your friends! Once you've purchased them, you can simply HANG STOCKING FOR ME or HANG STOCKING FOR <adventurer> and it will be placed in the room! You can additionally add ANONYMOUS to the end to give someone an anonymous gift!

Once hung, Ironbeard will drift through the realms at the next in-game midnight and fill them with gifts! Stockings come in 4 varieties: Logosmas, Fancy, Grand, and Extravagant, with each tier containing higher and higher values of gifts inside! That's not to say that you'll luck out if you stick with the Logosmas stockings, as they have a chance to contain the higher tiered gifts.

You will be able to see the status of all of their hung stockings with the STOCKINGS command, and once Ironbeard has filled one, simply go to the room and OPEN STOCKING (or <STOCKING#> if there are many in the room). Only you can open your stockings, so no need to worry about the nasty Krampus coming to steal your gifts! Once you open your stocking, it will be destroyed.

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. These special versions contain double the reward value as the regular versions! Ironbeard only has so much room in his sack, so these stockings will only be filled on December 25th (gold) and January 1st, 2017 (platinum). All unhung gold stockings will be converted to platinum versions after December 25. These tallies count over multiple purchases, so if you purchase 5 single stockings over the month, you'll get a special version with your 5th purchase.

All commands for stockings can also be found in HELP PROMO ITEMS.

In addition to Logosmas stockings, we're giving away giftbags with every 100 credits that you purchase from the website. There's also an additional giftbag every 500 credits, so if you buy 2000 credits you get 24 giftbags!

Now, onto the fun part...

Prizes!
This year you have a chance to find:
- Silvery candycanes*
- Various statistic altering artefacts
- A Logosmas themed artefact vial

* The silvery candycanes are a limited edition currency! Collect, sell, gift and trade these and you can spend them in the Logosmas Shop.

You can see how many candycanes you currently have with II CANDYCANE, these are groupable items.

In the middle of January the Logosmas Shop will close and any unspent candycanes will be automatically traded in.

Head over to https://www.achaea.com/Credits to get yours today and see the next Announce news for all the details about your candycanes!
