The new GIFTBOX item is now released in all instances!

They contain the following items:

• a small sentient spider: This is the spider that lived inside the glaes spider charms. The GIFTBOX is a ruined version of the glaes spider charm, which you break open.
• a shimmering violet orb: This is a large RPA award.
• a hazy white note: This is a 1 pound lightener.
• a meteor-etched gold ring: This is a gold ring guaranteed for 30 days.
• a golden feather charm: This is an encumbrance reducing feather for 300 seconds and has 3 uses.

The spider has all the same verbs as the glaes spider charms. It will have even MORE features unlocked in the coming day(s)!

Everything in the GIFTBOX is account attuned to you, except the gold ring and feather charm.

Those of you who still own a glaes spider charm can COVER them for a new verb (just a minor addition).

You can claim a GIFTBOX until August 31st.

Enjoy!

>>Real quick question on this. After 30 days, does it crumble, or does it just become a regular gold ring?

Once it expires, it will vanish on its next use.

>>Re: READ verb

While listed as a verb, it's a gag verb. The spider has all the same verbs as the spider charms. Why would you read a spider?! Heh!

>>Re: Messaging

Some messaging will get updated, like RUB shouldn't say poke in it. Stay tuned.

Ok, thanks for clarification! I wanted to keep that as a souvenir for a month of many meteors, so I was planning on appropriate usage.

Wyrom gestures at you, causing you to explode.

Thanks for the stuff.

Nice gifts, thanks!

Just an elf about town...

To be clear, it's verb 'giftbox' (so limit of one per account), not like the spider charms that were for every character when first logging in on a Web account?

Thanks for the cool gift box.

Thanks for the giftbox.

As a consequence of receiving this item, I found myself strolling to my locker to retrieve and dust off my old butterfly charm - remember them? Glad I kept roundwing butterfly. I gave her a sly tickle to the thorax and was rewarded with a flutter of translucent wings.

Think I need to take my will o wisp out to play too and encourage my wandering tattoo to come out from under my armor once in a while. Definitely more to life than hunting and drinking.

Good call. All new ambient scripts should have the ability to be silenced.

You should analyze that charm, perhaps there is something more to it. ;)


Speaking in Faendryl, Jahosk says, "You will now be known as Blade Durakar, the Palestra."

And that differs from every other ring... how? :)

Thanks for the hint about 'analyze', Durakar!

Very cool gift(s). Thank you!

If we forget whether we did already, and try again, do we get told that we're being a nimrod & already got paid?

Thanks for the reminder - I just claimed mine :)

It would have been nice to see this as a sticky on the webpage rather than a buried in the forum feed. I try to check as regularly as possible but with work as busy as it is I have not had much time to play at all the last few months... maybe for the next giftbox item we can get a sticky on the homepage? thanks in advance.
