The available items change every now and then. Check the Announce newsboard to see if a recent promotion is offering these chests and if the items may be different!
Boon Fireworks
--------------
These fireworks may be fired like a normal bomb, WIELD the firework and THROW FIREWORK AT GROUND. After doing so a 50% experience buff will be given for an hour to a group based on the firework type. These items decay, but you can save them up and chain them together for group events! The types only stack with themselves, so 2x guild and 2x city will only give two hours overall if done at once.
Guild - an emblazoned firework
City - a patriotic firework display
Spirit - a "Katshkele's Glory" firework display
Shadow - a "Catiana Wheel" firework display
Game - an "Ere's Unsupervised Explosive Extravaganza" firework display
These fireworks trade in for 5, 10, 20, and 40 credits, respectively via the PROMO TRADEIN command.
You may also, temporarily, use the PROMOFIREWORKS command. This will enable you to trade 3 guild fireworks for a city, two city for a tether, or two tether for a game. This way you can collect fireworks and work together to increase the scopes. Loyalty marks are not required.
You may also exchange your tether firework for your own side as well, by using PROMOFIREWORK EXCHANGE <firework>.
