It's just about the middle of the month and so we bring to you some new artefacts!

Head to www.achaea.com/credits to buy yours with the Artefact Cart discount (30% without Iron Elite, 40% if you are an Iron Elite member), or head to the artefact shops in Delos to get yours today!

A Sailor's Decree (remote_seafaring) - 1200 credits
- With this item in your inventory, when you are on ship in harbour or on land, you will be able to SPECIALISE IN [DECKHAND/WEAPONS/COMMAND/WATCH/HELM].
- This does not work on ships at sea.

A Miniature Toolkit (trapmaster) - 500 credits
- This artefact will allow you to use the TRAPS command to view any traps that are armed in your room.
- You will also be able to attempt to disarm traps that are in your room by doing DISARM TRAP <direction>.
- Disarm does have a chance to fail, if it fails, you will be hit by the trap as if you moved through it. If you are successful, the trap will be disarmed and you will receive any of the commodities used when it was created.
- If you are of the Sentinel or Jester class, this item removes the failure chance on disarming other people's traps! (This extra effect only applies if you have learned the Disarm ability in Woodlore/Pranks.)

A Shopper's Guidebook (directory) - 350 credits
- Allows you to use the shop directory command from anywhere, for anywhere.
- DIRECTORY <city> <item to find>

An Eidolic Ewer (no artefact power) - 250 credits
- This ewer will serve as an extension of a city font! No need to run those lesser eidolons back before they decay.
- TURN <ewer> <cityname> to set the ewer to a specific city.
- TURN <ewer> to clear any city association for the ewer.
- READ <ewer> to check its current association, if any.
- PUT <lesser eidolon> IN <ewer> this will add to the font of the city the ewer is associated with, if any, else it will check for your personal city alliegance.

A Lavishly Gilded Pet's Cage (no artefact power) - 100 credits

- PUSH <cage to be able to pick it up. The cage will then reset to the owner's inventory once more. (Owner only)
- The owner can PUT <pet> IN <cage> and the pet will reset in the cage.
- The owner can GET <pet> FROM <cage> and the pet will reset to the character's inventory again.
- ANY player can take the pet from the cage, but it will reset back to the cage after an hour.

In addition to the above, we have an alteration for personal pets to announce today!

Currently, pets with the REPORTING addon only report things said directly to them.

Today we've decided that invincible pets will be able to use the reporting addon as they do now, reporting things said directly to them. But a pet may have expanded reporting (reporting to their owner all things said in their presence) provided that the pet is not invincible.

Not invincible pet - reports all things said in its location.
Invincible pet - reports only things said directly to it.

This allows for some expansion of play, but also a measure of recourse for those the pet is reporting on.

If you have an invincible pet and wish to expand its reporting by removing its invincibility, please use ISSUE ME to request this and we'll make it so!

For all other pet-related questions and requests, please contact the team at Pets@Achaea.com.

Finally! We will be overhauling the Artefact, Shop of Wonders, and Promotional Items HELPS today, so while these may not be updated immediately with these new items right this moment, you can look forward to a more organised approach before the day is out.

We will announce again with all the HELP details and changes, and how these might affect you when this is completed!

Enjoy!
