September was crazy! I sort of watched from my lounger on the beach, drinking beers in solidarity with Achaea's 21st birthday (that was definitely the reason), and I've heard all kinds of tales of excitement and derring-do since I got home!

A few congratulations need to be given out as we move on into October. First goes out to Mhaldor for winning Lord Adryn's tournament! This second win of the tournament continues their 100% streak; will Sartan's favoured be able to maintain it in the future? Cheers also for Targossas, who keep the Effigy of Victory for another term with their massive CTF win. And thirdly to all of our lottery winners over the month!

October might be a slightly less frantic month, but nothing is ever boring when the Serpent rises in the Vault. We'll be watching out for this as the 15th of the month rolls around. I promise you won't be disappointed!

As expected, we're saying goodbye once more to the Wheel of Fortune. For the next 31 days we're bringing back racetrack tickets and running a tiered credit sale!

For every 10 credits you purchase you'll earn a ticket for the Humgii Races!
This is based on credits purchased prior to the 10% bonus adjustment for Iron Elite holders.
HELP RACING has all the details on how you can bet these and hopefully win big!

In addition to the racetrack tickets:

For every 100 credits you purchase you'll also earn a bonus prize. This is based on credits purchased prior to Iron Elite adjustment, and your total is cumulative. If you reach 2000 credits you'll also roll over and start back at the bottom of the table again. Prizes are as follows:

100 credits - A Mayaween themed artefact vial.

200, 300, and 400 credits each reward you with a magnificent pumpkin*.

500 credits - A talisman cache that opens for all sets.

600, 700, 800, and 900 credits each reward you with a magnificent pumpkin*.

1000 credits - A talisman cache that opens for all sets.

1100, 1200, 1300, and 1400 credits each reward you with a magnificent carved pumpkin**.

1500 credits - A talisman cache that opens for all sets.

1600, 1700, 1800, and 1900 credits each reward you with a magnificent carved pumpkin**.

2000 credits - 2 talisman caches that open for all sets!

Pumpkins!
SMASH PUMPKIN - To see the options you can choose from.
SMASH PUMPKIN <option> - To claim your prize!

* Magnificent Pumpkins smash for a vellum page, a bloodstained shard, or a collections cache that opens for all collections.
** Magnificent Carved Pumpkins smash for a vellum page, a bloodstained shard, a Mayaween themed artefact vial, a Mayan Crown, or a collections cache that opens for all collections.

Any player can smash your pumpkin to claim the prize, but they will reset to the owner.

If you plan on using these as currency, please bear this in mind.

We will not be altering the reset destination on these items.

Pumpkins and their details have been added to HELP PROMO ITEMS.

If you're in need of some credits to pick up that shiny artefact, or you're searching for a specific talisman piece, maybe you just want to add another class to your repertoire, October is a great month to head to www.achaea.com/credits to bring these plans to fruition!

Enjoy!
