Hi folks!

October's festivities are done and November has arrived in a flash! We hope you had a blast celebrating Aetolia's 23rd birthday with us, because we certainly did! For November, we're pleased to offer you coffers of elemental shadow and elemental spirit! Both versions can be obtained on the website via www.aetolia.com/credits and opened for a slew of prizes!

Without further ado, let's take a look at what you can find inside:

All Coffers
-----------

Credit prizes ranging from 28 to 500
Iron Coin prizes in batches of 25 or 50
Artifacts ranging in value from 50-2000 credits
Chocolate bags, elemental globes, silver chalices, morphic metal, patriotic fireworks, and a low chance at antiquated salvage.
Technique scrolls for the ghostly, starry, forceful, and clumsy styles!
Compendium pages for: the Festering Wastes, Clawhook, Dovan Hollow, a volcanic island, the Liruma Crater, the Endless Battlefield, and Spiral of the Corrupt.
Transmute beetle vouchers*

These vouchers can be exchanged at the shop at before the bridge to Esterport (v80871) for transmute beetles (see HELP TRANSMUTE) of all armour types themed for shadow and spirit, as well as other options previously made available! The vouchers can also be traded in for 10 credits using PROMO TRADEIN.

Shadow Coffers
---------------

In addition to all of the standard prizes, the shadow coffers also include:

Five minipets: a shadow-touched butterfly, a shadowed grey badger, a puny shadow elemental, a miniature potted blight, and a new dark-furred gorilla juvenile**!
Steed whistles for a shackled shadow-corrupted orgyuk!
Iterators for the BLEAK vox.
Caches of relic pieces for: shadow_shield, shadowshroud, veil_darkness, phyl_shadow, flair_shadow, grapnel, compass, observereyes, planar_shadow, and a new transmute beetle for a shadowy curse-themed culling blade***.

Spirit Coffers
--------------

In additional to all the standard prizes, the spirit coffers also include:

Five new minipets: an ethereal butterfly, a white-speckled pheasant, an ivory swan cygnet, a miniature spirit elemental, and a new silvery-white gorilla juvenile**!
Steed whistles for a prowling symayda!
Iterators for the ZEALOUS vox.
Caches of relic pieces for: spirit_shield, spiritshroud, veil_light, phyl_spirit, flair_light, grapnel, compass, observereyes, planar_shadow, and a new transmute beetle for a brilliant judgement-themed culling blade***.

** These two gorillas juveniles are from the same lineage as the bonded silverback pair that once terrorised the Tcannan jungles! Collect both and you can MINIPET EXCHANGE <gorilla1> <gorilla2> to exchange them for a combined 'a pair of bonded gorilla juveniles' minipet! Unlike normal exchanges, there's no cost to this one other than the two gorillas themselves.
*** These include new coloured trigger messages to match their theme! Only have the culling power and not the blade itself? Don't worry, we've made it so you can apply this transmute directly to the power: TRANSMUTE CULLING POWER WITH <beetle id>

All coffers will also award one or more consumables that do not count against your value:

an immolation bomb
a crude siphoning device
a set of obsidian scales
a pill of omnipotence
a preserved, yellowed eye

Relic caches will open for either one or two pieces depending on the piece value. There is also now a global prize of 500 credits for every 500 coffers opened, and coffers now award full organisational credits! There are also coffers up for sale in the milestone wares, one of each, for a gold key each!

Finally, since it's November, you'll have to keep an eye out later in the month for details on our regular auction!
