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

* The event will run from June 15th (9pm ET) until July 1st (11:59pm ET).

* 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:

* 12 priceless artifacts are guarded in the vaults of Bloodriven Bank, including a prized blood crystal from a secret location.
** 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

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>

These ready made insta-heels will let you stack your pretty cobbled shoes on top of incredible heels and are all new for Duskruin.

Sigil Staves
