Along with the continuation of the RP events currently ongoing, July also sees a slew of new additions to Achaea!

For the next 31 days we welcome back the artefact cart promotion!

Head over to the website at http://www.achaea.com/Credits and build your own artefact package to get great discounts! You'll get the lowest credit prices, as well as a 30% discount (40% with Iron Elite membership) - that's a massive discount, and you don't have to make the trip to Delos to buy the artefacts!

All of our new artefacts (see below) can also be purchased via the artefact cart!

When you purchase any paragon via the artefact cart, you'll also get a free Pryall. (See below for details on what these are.)

If you are in the market for credits, for every 10 credits you purchase from the website, you'll also get a humgii racing track ticket!

We also have some gold auctions running throughout July! The first round of these will end on July 14th, so empty out that bankaccount and get your bids in soon! AUCTION and HELP AUCTIONS has all the information!

After auditing existing artefacts in preparation for the new additions (see below!), we've made some small adjustments to the artefact shops.

The Artefact Armour shop is now open for business. Head here for all your artefact armour needs, and for your Shield of Absorption (previously found in the Defensive Artefacts shop.)

- The Clasp of Animal Spirit has been reduced to 500 credits.
- The Ring of Magus has been increased to 700 credits.
- The Aldar Diadem/Talisman has been reduced to 1000 credits, and is now considered a level 2 artefact.
- The Offspring's Talisman has been added to the Miscellaneous Artefact Store and is also available for purchase via artefact cart for July.
This Level 1 version of the Aldar Talisman/Diadem reduces the time it takes to recover equilibrium by 7% and costs 500 credits.

Now, we know you all just read the words "Artefact Armour", so we won't hold out any longer.

Before we get into the nitty gritty, we've added cloth armour to Armoursmithing! Magi are able to wear this.
