December is here!
Later in the month the realm will become entirely festive, Makesh will put his Logosmas wares on sale, Ironbeard will make his rounds, and Merrywick will open once again!
For the promotionally inclined stockings have returned to www.achaea.com/credits featuring a new talisman set, the Wanderer talisman set!
Caches from stockings can also be opened for Logosmas set talismans if desired.
The Wanderer Talisman Set
A large slice of waybread
EAT this waybread once per Achaean day to fully satiate yourself and remove any vestiges of tiredness.
A globe of the aimless
THROW this globe at someone and they will suffer from poor accuracy with their bows for the next five minutes. Can only be used once every 30 minutes.
A tattered parchment
CONSULT PARCHMENT <area> will tell you how many non-player loyals are currently alive in that area.
A wanderer's starchart
This starchart will increase the radius of your visible map when on board a ship.
A Khalasian compass
Possessing this compass will increase your celerity when not upon the Prime Material Plane.
A featureless sculpture
Declare that your foe is a mistake - MISTAKE <target> -, and you will begin a channeled action which, if it resolves, will slay them outright and leave a stone statue of them behind. This sculpture will also change to be the last person you slew with it.
A bloody knife
With this knife in your inventory (not wielded), you may BETRAY <a mutual ally> and plunge it into their chest. While this does deal some damage, it will also let you balancelessly farsee that person (requires but does not consume equilibrium) for the next thirty minutes. You may only betray someone every ten minutes in this way.
Some woven hand wraps
These unassuming hand wraps convey truly mighty power upon the wearer. You may OVERPOWER <target> <HIGH and send them rocketing into the sky after a channel (longer for each grade of strength). You may only overpower someone in this way every five minutes.
Robes of the wanderer
These robes serve as robes of the magi and cut all mana useage, but also cut willpower useage to a similar degree as well.
See HELP STOCKINGS for all stocking-related commands and to see a complete list of prizes and minimum stocking values!
Every 150 stockings opened will trigger a bonus stocking in the next 50 to be opened, awarding massively increased prizes!
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!
On January 10th we will also be drawing a raffle! Tickets for this will be gained from opening stockings, and each day you earn your maximum of 2000 renown you will earn a ticket too!
First winner will take home a pair gloves of arrowcatching (or 2000 bound credits if they don't want them)!
Second winner will take home a gold inkbrush!
Third winner will take home a red inkbrush!
Any tickets held by non winners after the raffle is drawn will be converted to 2 bound credits each. (If you win prize 1, 2, or 3, all of your tickets are consumed and do not convert.)
Finally!
All previously hung stockings have been returned to their original owner's inventories, and can be hung fresh for yourselves or new recipients!
Penned by My hand on the 3rd of Aeguary, in the year 933 AF.
