We're all working away on the new tradeskills for September, but to tide you over in the meantime this is what August has in store!

The Marks talisman set is now in the talisman shop, see HELP MARKS TALISMANS for all the details there.

For the duration of August, every 100 credits you purchase from the website will earn you a Mayan Crown. These are cumulative totals, so if you purchase 75 and 25 credits you will get a Mayan Crown!

Talisman pieces are also available for direct purchase at www.achaea.com/credits! Simply head to Artifact Packages and pick from Conclave, Monks, or Wonders!

With Mayan Crowns we also have a big Shop of Wonders update! There is now a second, new shop in Delos, the House of Wonders and it holds all the old housing related Shop of Wonders items, plus fourteen new items with houses for minipets, the makings of a pond, sweeping security expansions, and much more!

HELP SHOP OF WONDERS and HELP HOUSE OF WONDERS are also integrated into our artefact help system and you can use the HELP ARTEFACT SEARCH <term> to search for keywords just like with artefacts!

The details of all of the new House of Wonders items can be found below!
