Golden Giftbags!

Over the month of May, we're pleased to announce the triumphant return of Golden Giftbags! These are special bags that you'll receive with every 50 credits purchased from Achaea.com!

Golden giftbags come in 7 different levels. When you make your purchase, you receive a default (or level 0) giftbag. If you look inside, you'll see some herbs, sigils, inks, and gold. But don't take anything out yet! If you're feeling lucky, you can try to upgrade your giftbag to the next level... which could mean artefacts, credits, and more!

How does it work? Simple! GIFTBAG UPGRADE <bag> will attempt to upgrade your giftbag's contents to the next level of prizes. Be warned, however, that there is only a -chance- that your attempt will succeed. Higher level giftbags have a progressively lower chance of success.

In the event that luck is not on your side, and your upgrade is unsuccessful, don't worry, your back will be reverted back to its default contents, so you're never going to lose out on getting anything from a giftbag!

Once an item is removed from a giftbag, or if an upgrade attempt is unsuccessful, that bag can no longer be upgraded.

Upgrade levels:
0 - Default level at which all giftbags start: you'll get some herbs, sigils, inks, and gold.
1 - Runic vials containing stat, experience, and critical hit boosting elixirs, or clay chips (worth 20cr to trade-in).
2 - Artefact pipe, Artefact vial, or ivory dice.
3 - Dragonskin quiver, drinking horn, Dagger of Reincarnation, or Serpentine Keyring.
4 - One of the level 1 artefact weapons.
5 - Wand of Reflections, Eagle's wings, Buckawn Amulet, or Wand of Portals.
6 - Veil of the Sphinx, Gem of Rapid Transmutation, Grimoire of Hasty Adaptation, or Girdle of Aegis.

Here's the available commands to check and manipulate the bags:
GIFTBAG CHECK <bag> - Check whether or not a giftbag can be upgraded, and what the next tier prizes are.
GIFTBAG UPGRADE <bag> - Throw the dice and try for an upgrade.

FAQs
----
Can I sell my giftbag?
- Yes! The contents will be loyal/resetting (if applicable) to whoever removes them, so you can gift/trade/sell golden giftbags to other people.

Can I trade in an artefact I got from a giftbag?
- Yes! Once removed from the giftbag, artefacts that can normally be traded in (that's pretty much everything but the runic vials) may be traded in.
