Okay, the mailer has a different segment when it comes to how we communicate there, so I understand it leaves a lot to be known still. Let me try to answer a few things.

'''Scrip Shop'''

Everything in this shop scales in price. You will now see the quantity of items that are left for sale when you appraise an item.

The weapons and armor from last time are returning.

The enchanting potions have been reduced to 10 charges, and their prices have been adjusted to reflect that.

The coraesine relic is 500,000 bloodscrip and only 2 will be for sale.

These are the certificates for sale this time. The certificates all have pertinent information when you READ them. Some have some prerequisites. Prices not listed are the same as last run.

a multi-colored greater element document (upgrade a flaring weapon to a greater elemental flare), 30,000 bloodscrip)<br>
a yellowed rotflare contract (limit of 5, 250,000 bloodscrip)<br>
a violet permabless note (limit of 5, 250,000 bloodscrip)<br>
a master instrument sheet (50,000 bloodscrip)<br>
a white undead bane permit (limit of 5, 400,000 bloodscrip)<br>
a black weight reducing stub<br>
a dark de-fusion certificate<br>
a bleached ironwright contract<br>
a maroon knockout flare debenture<br>
a cyan polearm flare debenture<br>
an opaque bubble flare debenture<br>
a brown open acuity ticket<br>
a puce flat acuity ticket<br>
a golden open mana deed<br>
a silvery flat mana deed<br>
a grey target defense voucher

'''Weighting, Padding, and Sighting'''

The new weighting, padding, and sighting updates will be debuting at Duskruin. Our Development team will talk more about that when it gets launched. Due to it being brand new, it's going to be slightly delayed after the opening of Duskruin. Don't worry though, there are no time-based limits involved with how we're offering this service. You will be limited to having an item worked on 25 times under the new system.

You will earn an invite by participating and winning in the arena. Having a perfect run will also greatly improve your odds of getting an invite. Invitations do not stack, but you can earn another invite after using one. Invites are not a tangible item nor can they be traded.

We plan on having a way to appraise costs before going into the smithy so you know exactly what you're getting yourself involved with.

'''Bloodforge'''

The bloodforge will be temporarily closed until the weighting, padding, and sighting updates are live.

'''Spellbound X/day'''

With the updates to MIU, we're featuring offensive spells this time.

General Information

Message #: 7002

Date: 8/15/2017
Subject: Duskruin Details: A Rundown

I'm just going to give some quick bullet points on what to expect this run. I'll have more details before we go live, but I just don't want to make sure everything in QC is accurate before doing that.

Dates

The event will start on the 18th, but we're going to extend the event until the end of the month. Slips and tokens will not be available after 11pm (ish) ET on the 30th. We'll leave the event open throughout the 31st for purely shopping. The extension is mainly for shopping, but with the solar eclipse happening on the 21st, we're going to give people a few extra days who might be traveling for that.

Arena

  • 3 vs 3 matches.
    • Can also do 2 vs 2 matches.
    • Prizes are individual, but group benefits from winning.
    • New drop will be available for certain service (vague on purpose).

Sewers

  • New bloodrunes.
  • Upped rate of caches (still very rare).

Shops

  • Book shop will be back.
  • New Spellbound x/day items. We're adding a bunch of offensive spells for the new magic item use updates.
  • Custom (premade) bolt messaging.
  • Unlock certificates you can REDEEM.
  • Slab roulette (from EG) will be here for bloodscrip.
  • New Illusion pins.
  • New high end scrip shop offerings.
    • This is something I really want to make sure is through QC before revealing.
    • Weighting/Padding will not be in the scrip shop. It will be handled a new way.
  • New shops.
    • More on these when they exit QC.

Titles

  • New permanent titles unlocked at certain levels of play. Tracking started April 2017. Some of you will have a lot of them going into this run.

I know I'm forgetting something, but I want to make sure you guys have some information before I go to bed.

Night Shroud Cloak

Category: Paid Events: Adventures, Quests, and SimuCoins
Topic: Duskruin Arena
Message #: 7037
Author: GS4-RETSER
Date: 08/17/2017
Subject: For those that dwell in darkness...

Introducing, The Night Shroud!

As you swathe yourself in the blackened cloak, it seemingly shifts as it takes on a darker hue.

As an Ithzir adept attacks you a cyclone of shadows emerge from your blackened cloak. The shadows swirl around in an attempt to conceal you! You attempt to blend with the surroundings, and feel confident that no one has noticed your doing so.

About

This uses the hide system and will take into account the normal factors. It can flare/proc on cast or attack from a creature.

Those with at least 1x in hiding will get different messaging on some of the verbs.

The item has 1 fluff tier and up to 5 auction tiers. They are separate unlock paths.

Each auction unlock gives you a 1% chance to have your cloak attempt to hide you. This starts at 0% without any unlocks and maxes out at 5% at a maximum.

Where do I buy it?

They are somewhere in Bloodriven Village...

They won't be cheap and the unlocks are even less so. There will only be up to the 3rd auction unlock available this Duskruin; all of which will be a limited quantity.

Good luck!

Forest Armor

Subject: Forest Armor

Here's your chance to get some Forest Armor, which hasn't been available since Briarmoon Cove.

Oh, and there are unlock certificates available, too, for T2 (2000 BS), T3 (4000 BS), T4 (6000 BS).

Reminder: Forest Gnomes (yay!) get a small boost on the enhancive as well as the flare debuff. Each tier carries 1 enhancive/1 flare, and these are cumulative as the tier is increased.

Not at this time.

Nope, it's never safe to assume! T1 (OTS) armor is available for 3k BS. They are 5x.
