Hi folks,

October is here, which means it's Aetolia's 23rd birthday! We'll have some exciting events happening, which I'll cover in the second half of this post. But first, let's talk about the promotional offerings for this month.

October's Promotion

This month sees the return of the salvage sale, the artifact cart, and a direct lesson sale! As always, these can be found on our website at www.aetolia.com/credits

Salvage Sale
- Every 100 credits purchased from the website will come with a piece of antiquated salvage, typically valued at 200 credits.
- These pieces may be traded to other players and used without bearing your mark, EXCEPT for purchasing the Antiquated Artifacts themselves.
- Once you obtain the first level, you can use any salvage you like to upgrade it.
- For those unfamiliar with how salvage works, check out HELP ANTIQUATED ARTIFACTS.
- For specific breakdowns of each item, see HELP ANTIQUATED [RING/GOGGLES/GAUNTLET/CROP/SCEPTER].
- Perfect opportunity to pick up your first Scepter piece if you missed out last time!

Artifact Cart
- All artifacts purchased directly through the cart have a 30% discount applied.
- This stacks with Iron Elite Membership for a total discount of 40%!
- You can find also find exclusive items not normally available for direct purchase, including:
- Chocolates
- House deeds
- Fireworks
- Upgrade tokens
- And more!

Lesson Sale
- For the month of October, lessons can be purchased directly from the website at a significant bonus.
- Those with Iron Elite Memberships will also receive 10% bonus lessons on any lesson purchase they make!

Birthday Celebrations
1. Official Birthday - October 7th
- You can use the CELEBRATE command after this date to receive a one-off prize of 23 bound credits!

2. Daily Quest
- There's a new daily quest! Talk to Richard Tallow in Esterport (v53357) to get started.
- Receive a candle of remembrance from Richard each day and light twenty-three different remembrance candles throughout the month to complete.
- You'll be awarded with a prize upon completing all twenty-three: your own candle smushed together from the melted wax of all the candles you lit this month.
- This prize candle has a special effect while in your inventory: you'll be told how many times you have died to your killer upon death.
- If you miss a day (or days!) fret not, you can pay Richard 1,000 gold for each day missed to reset your cooldown and catch-up!

3. Birthday Shop
- The birthday shop at Harpy's Head Tavern will be reopened on the 7th with some new goodies to buy. Keep an eye out!

4. New Character Bonus
- Any new character created during October is eligible for an extra 100 bound credits for reaching level 100.
- You'll receive 25 extra credits at level 80, and remaining 75 at level 100.
- You must reach level 100 before the end of the month to be eligible.

5. Birthday Games
- As always, we'll have birthday games and events later in the month to celebrate, including a quiz and an Iron Epicurean. Keep an eye out for the schedule being posted in the coming days!

6. Finally, all the daily login bonuses will be in effect throughout all weekdays in October:
