You may now purchase artefacts from the artefacts shops as gifts for
others. It was possible to purchase artefacts as gifts previously, but
it had to be arranged case-by-case. In the spirit of the gifting season,
you can now bypass the intermediary and do it all yourself - purchase
the artefact, deliver it yourself or have it delivered to the recipient,
have the artefact reset to the recipient, and have it bear the mark of
the recipient.

The syntax: BUY <artefact#> AS GIFT FOR <lucky recipient's name>

You can specify at the time of purchase whether you would like the gift
to be gift-wrapped and delivered via the postal system to the recipient.
For this, add MAIL at the end of the syntax, i.e.:

BUY <artefact#> AS GIFT FOR <lucky recipient's name> MAIL

You will be notified when the gift is delivered.

Important note: You must use UNBOUND credits for gift artefact
purchases! Since what you are purchasing is not meant for your own
character, the credits you use must not be bound to your character!

There are NO returns or guarantees on gift artefacts! If you purchase an
artefact as a gift, then change your mind about giving it, that's too
bad! The artefact belongs to the recipient from the moment that you
purchase it, and even if you do not deliver it, it will wind up
resetting to the recipient eventually. Further, if the recipient wishes
to trade in the gift for the lesser value in bound credits, that is the
recipient's prerogative.
