The April showers of denizen blood have brought us May flowers, and by flowers I mean artefacts and a new promotion! That's pretty close to the old adage.

We've got a surprise in store for you later this month, but let's stave off the excitement for a week or two just yet!

First up in the May promotion we have a lessons bonus in effect for the entirety of the month. Every bound credit that you convert to lessons (and this goes for everyone, whether the credits came from levelling, CFS, or website purchase) will get you 7 lessons instead of the usual 6.

Second, we have giftbags returning to Achaea! For every 100 credits purchased on the website, you'll get a free giftbag! These 100 credits are cumulative, so if you buy 50 credits today and 150 tomorrow, you'll get 2 giftbags, 1 for each 100 credits bought.

Every 500 giftbags opened offers one lucky giftbag owner the chance of a high value artefact!

Those of you opening regular giftbags may find:

Credits, ranging between 30 and 60.
Artefact Discount vouchers.
Golden giftbags.
A crafter's portfolio.
A shining feather - Innately bestows the levitation defence.
Globes of Shifting Continents (with April's content chances)
Various consumables, including:
- Lifestones.
- Critical crit boosting clovers.
- Ink-stained rose thorns (5 instant tattoo inkings.)
- Cyclone bottles* (5 charges.)
- XP orbs with 4 charges - activate orb and gain an hour of double XP.
- Phials of shimmering ink.
- A bloodstained shard of enamel (See HELP PROMOTIONS for details on these.)

The cyclone bottle is a new consumable and holds five charges of an adjacent room beckon, SHAKE <bottle> to whip up the Azatlani Windspeaker's magic!

All giftbags also have a chance of having a heron feather or an ethereal shroud in them alongside the above prizes.

On top of all of that, a range of new class and crafting artefacts have landed in the Miscellaneous Artefact Shop in Delos!
