December 2023 Stockings!

Hey folks!

December has arrived and that means it’s time for stockings! As always, they can be obtained from the Aetolia website at www.aetolia.com/credits under ‘artifact packages’. See HELP STOCKINGS for all stocking-related commands and for a complete breakdown of prizes! I’ve included a short summary below:

Festive or Trick Stocking, minimum value: 16 credits
Fancy Stocking, minimum value: 45 credits, guaranteed at least 1 relic coffer
Grand Stocking, minimum value: 200 credits, guaranteed at least 2 relic coffers
Extravagant Stocking, minimum value: 600 credits, guaranteed at least 5 relic coffers

This year we have a new relic collection available themed around the planes of Aetolia. See HELP PLANAR RELICS for all the details, but the items include the following:

– a Kal Kelerii warhorn (planar_air)
– a jagged shard of Azvosh (planar_earth)
– a sceptre of ancient aquamancy (planar_water)
– a Rahielan illuminator’s kit (planar_fire)
– a penumbral gemstone (planar_shadow)
– a breviary of Amlesh (planar_spirit)
– a Delvian translocator (planar_prime)
– a Deathbound cameo (planar_death)

All relic pieces from the Planar set trade in for 30 credits!

Each stocking tier below extravagant also has a very small chance of rolling a big prize in the form of a 400-2000 credit artifact!

Every 150 stockings opened will trigger a global prize where one of the next 50 stockings opened will contain a bonus of 500 credits on top of the other prizes it contains.

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. Gold and platinum stockings are special and fill up only on Christmas and New Year’s Day, respectively! These are tracked cumulatively, so you can safely split up purchases without losing out. Opening one of these stockings acts as if you had opened two of that tier, giving you double the prizes!

You’ll also find a festive stocking to purchase for a gold keystone in the milestone wares shop.

Finally, stocking purchases automatically enter you into a raffle drawn on January 1st, and all stocking purchases award “a decorative gift voucher” – these can only be redeemed (LOTTERY EXCHANGE VOUCHER) by someone other than the owner, and provide 1 raffle entry to whoever you gift them to. See HELP STOCKING RAFFLE or LOTTERY 42 for info!

Enjoy!
