June 2018 Promotion!

Written by: Tiur, the Gnosis
Date: Friday, June 1st, 2018
Addressed to: Everyone


It's time for a new promotion! This month we have GIFTBAGS! Hoooooray!

And lesson sales. Lessons are for sale on the website. LEARN ALL THE THINGS.

Normal giftbags come 1 for every 25 credits purchased during the month of June. The first 100 credits comes with an extra giftbag for every 10 credits! That means buying 100 credits gets you 14 giftbags straight off the bat!

We'll also give out LOGINDAYS rewards of a single giftbag for 21 days logged in a minimum of 60 minutes each.

We are keeping the giftbag colors as well.

GIFTBAG EXCHANGE <color>
-------------------
Each color has a 'theme' (I use this phrase lightly) that adjusts its contents slightly.
Red - PvP
Blue - PvE
Violet - Death
Orange - Crafting
Yellow - Shopkeeping
Green - RP
Gold - Shinies

NOTE: Gold is special, and requires 5 unopened normal giftbags to make 1.

The contents of each bag are adjusted from the standard giftbag. For instance, if the normal giftbag lists 5 possible compendium pages, and the colored giftbag lists a single type of page, all that giftbags' "slots" for pages are consumed for that single page type. If the vanilla bag has a 1% chance at pages, the colored bag still has a 1% chance, it is just much more specific in result.

Minipet: a tiny azureus poison dart frog (amphibian)

Gold Giftbag
------------
No junk. Minimum value is higher than 5 giftbags separately, and all things that are more boring
have been removed. Does include all minipet and relic options.
Relics Exclusive: Phylactery pieces


NEW ITEMS!

bamboozle bomb
--------------
(in all bags except Gold)

You may have noticed the imps using these and been confused about their effect...
Like a standard bomb, wield it and THROW BOMB AT GROUND. Everyone in the room struck will lose all telepathic communications for 20 seconds. That's right, no Guildtells, Tells, Ordertells, OR WEBTELLS.


RETURNING ITEMS

A mirror bomb
-------------
(in all bags except Gold)

When thrown at the ground, everybody in the room will see their output in reverse for a few seconds. Quick way to make friends into enemies! Consumed on use.


NEW RELICS!

saltheart
---------
* 1x An aorta of salt
* 1x A right ventricle and atrium of salt
* 1x A left ventricle and atrium of salt

Any attempt to steal your heart (like Cannibalism or Cruelty) will find that you do not, in fact, have a heart. Instead you have salt. Of course you do.


antennae
--------
* 4x a piece of an insect antennae

A racial relic, once possessed you will always hear while deaf. No need for mindseye or lipreading.
You will also gain access to the premote "ANTENNAE".


blindsight
----------
* 4x a small blindfold section
* 1x a mindseye rune

This blindfold, when worn, will act as though you can always see. No need for mindseye.
It also looks cool.


bloodyfang
----------
* 4x a rotting shapeshifter jaw

A racial relic, once possessed you will be able to gain nutrition via eating corpses.
Gross.


an anaxagorite gorget
---------------------
* 3x a curved plate of anaxagorite
* 2x half a venantium gorget frame

This gorget, when worn, makes your body impossible to decapitate. Note that its power is only active when you are dead, and despite its superb construction, it cannot protect you from behead.


Divine Phylacteries
-------------------
* 4x a <divine> phylactery fragment

These are phylacteries (HELP PHYLACTERY) designed by your Patrons. You may only receive pieces of the relic associated with YOUR patron. If you do not have a Patron, you will receive a random phylactery from the list in HELP PHYLACTERY.
-T

For those of you that stuck with me the whole time: Expect an artifact auction later this month.

Penned by my hand on Gosday, the 17th of Lanosian, in the year 473 MA.
