Hi folks!

October has come to a close and November is upon us! For the entire month, Cryptic Chests are making their return to the website (www.aetolia.com/credits) under 'artifact packages'! Additionally, we are also offering a Salvage Sale as a bonus for any direct credits purchased.

Every 100 credits purchased from the website will come with a piece of antiquated salvage, which is typically valued at 200 credits. These pieces may be traded to other players and used without bearing your mark, EXCEPT for purchasing the Antiquated Artifacts themselves. Once you obtain the first level, you can use any salvage you like to upgrade it.

Every 500 Cryptic Chests opened will trigger a global prize where one of the next 50 to be opened will contain a bonus of 500 credits on top of the other prizes within, which are outlined below:

* Chocolate bags, elemental globes, silver chalices, fireworks, customisation certificates, iron coins, morphic metal, ambience tokens, styles and a low chance at salvage.

* Style selection for this month includes gourmandic, tundral, forceful, starry, drunken and bombastic, with a chance at receiving a style point to spend at the shop.

* Credit prizes ranging from 18 - 250.

* Various artifacts valued between 50 and 2000 credits.

* Minipets from a selection of: a large fire ant, a frumpy koala cub, a fragile glass frog, a bright-eyed sylskin, a miniature dreg behemoth, and a wandering spirit pup.

* Relic coffers containing a piece from the following relics: rubble, chocobag, raceidol, shrubbing, stormhorn, compass, super_ear and star. Check RELIC LIST PROMO FULL to see the details.

* Ephemeral relic coffers containing a piece for one of: sunspear, sangchoker, keeneye, dreamscape, repair, dissonance, and resplendence. These relics are all consumed on use or are temporary and will eventually decay. Pieces for them trade in for 30 credits each.

* Compendium pages for: the forgotten depths of Mount Helba, Tak-re, the Ia'shal Barrow, the Tarblack Marshes, Tcanna Island, and a basilisk lair.

In addition to these, you will always receive a filler prize (grimstim pills, various consumables, omnipotence pills, herbal jars, broken chest pieces, etc). These do not count towards your chest's value.

You can also find a chest in the milestone shop for November - 1 gold key as always!

Finally, keep an eye out later this month for details on our regular auction!
