All good things must come to an end, so we bid farewell to our Mayan Crown sale. Do not fret though, as we've just released an exciting new promotion! For the next couple of weeks, you'll receive a GOLDEN GIFTBAG for any purchase above 100cr! Ordering more than 100cr? You'll get one for every 100 credits purchased!

We've run giftbag promotions before, so what's different about this one? Rather than a giftbag with random contents ranging from mundane to extraordinary, golden giftbags come in 7 different levels. When you make your purchase, you receive a default (or level 0) giftbag. If you look inside, you'll see some herbs, sigils, inks, and gold. But don't take anything out yet! If you're feeling lucky, you can try to upgrade your giftbag to the next level... which could mean artefacts, credits, and more!

How does it work? Simple! GIFTBAG UPGRADE <bag> will attempt to upgrade your giftbag's contents to the next level of prizes. Be warned, however, that there is only a -chance- that your attempt will succeed. Higher level giftbags have a progressively lower chance of success.

If you are unsuccessful in upgrading your giftbag, its contents will be replaced with ONE item (or group of items) from the default tier. So if your bag is already at the default tier and you are unsuccessful in upgrading, rather than a group of 20 sileris, 10 key sigils, a group of 25 red inks, and 1000 gold... you might get a group of 20 bloodroot. So there is a risk of not getting much... but you will always get something!

Each bag can be upgraded multiple times, though remember, the chance of success goes down the higher a bag gets! If an upgrade is successful, congratulations! Your giftbag's contents will be replaced with an item from the next higher tier. Once removed from the giftbag, artefacts that can normally be traded in may be... traded in.

Once an item is removed from a giftbag, or if an upgrade attempt is unsuccessful, that bag can no longer be upgraded.

The tiers:
0 - Default level at which all giftbags start: you'll get some herbs, sigils, inks, and gold.
1 - Runic vials containing stat, experience, and critical hit boosting elixirs, or clay chips (worth 20cr to trade-in).
2 - Artefact pipe, Artefact vial, or ivory dice.
3 - Dragonskin quiver, drinking horn, Dagger of Reincarnation, or Serpentine Keyring.
4 - One of the level 1 artefact weapons.
5 - Wand of Reflections, Eagle's wings, Buckawn Amulet, or Wand of Portals.
6 - Veil of the Sphinx, Gem of Rapid Transmutation, Grimoire of Hasty Adaptation, or Girdle of Aegis.

To do this, you can:
GIFTBAG CHECK <bag> - Check whether or not a giftbag can be upgraded, and what the next tier prizes are.
GIFTBAG UPGRADE <bag> - Throw the dice and try for an upgrade.

FAQs
----
Can I sell my giftbag?
- Yes! The contents will be loyal/resetting (if applicable) to whoever removes them, so you can gift/trade/sell golden giftbags to other people.

Can I trade in an artefact I got from a giftbag?
- Yes! Once removed from the giftbag, artefacts that can normally be traded in (that's pretty much everything but the runic vials) may be traded in.
