As the halfway point of May comes and passes, we've just switched out some of the items in our promotional giftbags for new ones. Here are all the details:

When you purchase a giftbag, you will now get one of the following items in addition to the standard prize. You will also no longer get ethereal shrouds, heron feathers, or lifestones (these new items replace them).

- A translucent mask: WEARing this mask will cause guards and other organisation-owned denizens to ignore you for five minutes. This effect fails if you perform any hostile actions of any kind. Each mask possesses 3 charges.

- A bottle of fairy dust: THROW this dust to gain a prismatic barrier. You may also throw it over someone else THROW DUST OVER MAKARIOS to give another person a prismatic barrier. Throwing dust in this way requires both balance and equilibrium, but consumes neither. Each bottle has enough for three barriers.

- A wooden horse: BREATHE on this horse and it will serve as a raido rune for you, similar to the runelore ability. Notably, Runewardens may even place one of these if they already have a raido present somewhere in the land. These horses are good for one use: just say RIDE HOME once its placed, and you'll be teleported straight to its location!

- A phial of golden liquid: DRINK from this phial at your own risk. Within is contained a sample of the destructive serum, which will massively boost your balance and equilibrium recovery, but guarantee your death shortly after consumption. Note that alchemists that possess the Mayology ability that drink from this phial shall have double the time to take revenge on their enemies before succumbing to death. The phial is good for one use, and may not be used within the arena.

That's our giftbag additions. You'll also continue to get artefacts and credits alongside these new consumables. As a reminder, you'll receive one giftbag for every 100 credits you purchase from www.achaea.com/credits, as well as a bonus giftbag every 500 credits.

We also have an exciting release this week, so stay tuned!
