===Deity Detect Monocle===
GM Thandiwe is talking about the Deity Detect Monocle that will premiere at Duskruin. Use it to discern another person's deity. Also ... verby! It can also be turned to have it show in your features - or not. Bring your Religion Lore Ranks. Look for the info and ask your questions at [http://bit.ly/2yap1Tm the Officials].

===Nebular and Solar Weapons===
Also from GM Thandiwe, Nebular and Solar weapons are new this Duskruin. They will get stronger at night or day (Solar gets stronger in the daytime, Nebular at night) and weaken substantially during the opposite time period. They'll be in the Penitent Petitioner Shop. Read the [http://bit.ly/2MrEbGU announcement at the Officials].

===Bank Heist===
The first Duskruin leak is out - Mayhem Master Wyrom's code seems none too subtle. How long have we been waiting on that BANK HEIST?! Also: Duskruin is now sporting a final date, June 15th to July 1. The [http://bit.ly/2scNqCH Officials' post by Wyrom alerting us introductory that the bank heist was going to happen] on May 24th.

===The Heraldic Standard===
GM Modrian reveals a Heraldic Standard for Duskruin. It will inspire the members of your group once per day with 1 hour of +5 general attack strength and increased mana and stamina recovery. It can rally fallen group members, you get to pick your own emblem, or you can have it altered. There's lots more to read [http://bit.ly/2sTYtRj at the Officials].

===Shimmer Trinket Options===
GM Estild shows off a new way to use your Shimmer Trinket for a quick change! All on the same trinket. It will be available at Duskruin, probably at Spellbound. See the teaser [http://bit.ly/2spMTMI details at the officials].

===An Amber Crystalline Vile===
GM Estild is putting an amber crystalline vial in the High End Scrip Shop for Duskruin. He says there are two new things listed in his example of how he used some spell called 502 ;whatis 502? Chromatic Circle. So, you are going to want to read more. It involves maybe a new runestaff flare? Or ... ? Complete teaser [http://bit.ly/2JhHxOe details at the Official Forums].

===Sprite Weapons===
GM Retser whets our Duskruin expectations with a new line of weapons, Sprite Weapons. He says they are similar to parasite weapons, but with a jovial sprite that feeds on mana instead of blood. SIMILAR? How can this be SIMILAR, parasites are CREEPY! Who wants a Sprite now?! [http://bit.ly/2Jc608p Complete Teaser details are at the Official Forums].

===The News===
The first Schedule and Info was posted by Wyrom on June 8 2018 [http://bit.ly/2sTGGJ5 at the Official Forums]:

* A new stamped voucher booklet will work for everything at the Duskruin event.
** We are offering them in quantities of 1, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 250. Pricing is the same as the former items.
* The [[Bloodriven_Village#High_End_Prize_Lists|High End Scrip Shop]] (HESS) will open on Saturday, June 16th, at roughly 9pm ET. The staggered opening is needed due to a lot of new content we are putting out that may cause some hiccups.
** HESS retired the following certificates: [[Undead Bane]], Weight Reduction, [[Hidden bracer]]s, and [[Troll heart jewelry]].
** HESS has quite a number of new additions that we will announce early next week.
* [[MoonShard pendant|MoonShards]] and the [[MoonShard pendant|pendants]] will no longer drop.

Lots more details came out on June 13 when the [https://www.play.net/gs4/news.asp?id=1602 Front Page News article] came out. Here's our summary:

** STEAL all 12 artifacts and turn them over to the Ophidian Cabal Ringleader for a unique carrying case that holds 10 of any one item. Find the Blood Crystal and the Ringleader will up his ante quite a bit with a sack that holds 10 of any 10 items - and you can locate expanders for these sacks in the sewers to expand capacity, weight, or even weight reduction.
** Work with the Silent Investors to find and protect he bank vault from the Cabal. You'll be eliminating threats within the bank before it can be plundered. Good show!
** Or choose the darker route, seek the Poisoned Heretics, a band of assassins, who want to stop the Silent Investors entirely.
** Which will you choose to support?

* What you'll find in the Heist:
** Rat-shaped vial ... rat phereomone to lure rats in the sewers
** Dull grey rabbit's foot and silky white rabbit's foot for luck boosts in the sewers
** Sphere Bombs for combat aids in the Arena
*** a vibrant yellow glass sphere: stun - damages and stuns the creature
*** a bright crimson glass sphere: fire - fire DoTs the creature
*** a silvery white glass sphere: sticky - webs the creature
*** a dull black glass sphere: void - implodes the corpse (and removes it)
*** a sickly green glass sphere: enervate - decreases combat stats

* Updates to the Sewers include:
** A new legendary bloodrune: Vesperti
** New collectible drops, expanders, and small amounts of field experience now awarded per search

* Updates to the Arena include:
** Time recording to alert you about your last and fastest match.
** Challenge your friends to see who the best Arena combatant is

Wyrom added at the bottom:<BLOCKQUOTE><span style="color:red">We have the low/high steel equipment already made, but if there is a POPULAR choice we can switch it up before Thursday. We're only doing 2 weapons total for each low and high. One shield for low and one armor for high. Keep in mind, they have a level requirement of 100, so only suggest something if you are going to be looking to buy it. They will come with a hefty price tag of 200,000 bloodscrip.</span></BLOCKQUOTE>
