February is here! To help keep you warm on these cold winter days (or cool, for our Southern Hemisphere players), we're pleased to announce the following promotions:

* Lesson sale is now on! Pick up lessons directly from Achaea.com for a great rate. More economical than buying credits for lessons, this is a great way to boost your skills and unlock new abilities.

* For every 100 credits purchased on Achaea.com, you'll receive a talisman piece (HELP TALISMANS) from our new Seafaring set! Here are the details of treasures contained within:

SMOKEFLARE - An empty smoke flare
----------
Once completed, this flare will let you mark a room on the seas with a plume of smoke. Simply put a red ink in the flare's canister and LIGHT FLARE. The plume will last 30 minutes.

FROSTPAIL - A frosted pail of pitch
---------
DROP this pail in any non-housing ship room, and it will transform the room description to have an icy cast. The pail can be used on one room once per 24 hours.

NEATPAIL - A neatly-appointed pail of pitch
--------
DROP this pail in any non-housing ship room, and it will transform the room description to one describing a meticulously clean ship. The pail can be used on one room once per 24 hours.

SEAWEEDPAIL - An overgrown pail of pitch
-----------
DROP this pail in any non-housing ship room, and it will transform the room description to have strings of seaweed draped across the decks and features. The pail can be used on one room once per 24 hours.

CROSSBOW - A crossbow of coconut lumber
--------
Based on the ship-bound ballista, this is a portable artefact crossbow. Carrying the same accuracy, speed, and power as a level 1 draw bow, this is the perfect weapon for times when you need to disembark. This item comes with shooting.

ISLANDWINGS - A scintillating pair of cascading wings
-----------
A special set of wings, taking the owner to a special clouds room with exits to many islands around Sapience. On these clouds, you'll find easy access to Shala Khulia, Polyargos, Mysia, Ulangi, Minos, Eirenwaar, Tasur'ke, and the shipwrecks in the Tears of Sarapis. These wings are activated with the verbal command "Duanatharic."

SHIPCHIT - A Shipwright's union chit
--------
Given to members of the Shipwright's union, this chit will convey a 20% reduction in the cost of commissioning a new vessel. This item is a single-use item.

GLASSBOTTLE - A polished green bottle
-----------
This enchanted bottle will transform when one of the current seamonster trophies is placed inside it. You'll find a new description and reactions for each of the 20 trophy types. PULLing the bottle will reset the bottle's customisation, ready for a new trophy.

CLOVERBOX - A cargo crate of clovers
---------
DROPping this box on the quarterdeck of your ship will increase all denizen crew experience gains for 24 hours. This item is destroyed upon use.

XPPLAQUE - An etched and lacquered plaque
--------
When DROPped on the quarterdeck of your ship, this will increase all player experience gain from seamonster kills by 30% for 24 hours. This item is destroyed upon use.

MAELSTROM - A figurine of Captain Maelstrom
---------
Take on all comers with a Captain Maelstrom battle figurine! This salty old dog comes with some great attacks.

MONSTERMAP - A stylised ocean map
----------
Once assembled, READing the map will give you a bearing and distance to a zone that seamonsters have been spotted. This map will decay 10 Achaean months after assembly.
