Hey everyone, with the smithy opening late, we're going to do several things to make up for the time you were waiting.

Duskruin will stay open until September 4th at 11:59pm ET. The booklets and jars in the SimuCoin Store will stop being on sale at the end of the month (August 31st) at 11:55pm ET. The extension is mainly for shopping, but if you have booklets or jars after the 31st, you can continue to use them to run either the arena or sewers.

We're going to add 2 multi-setting, permanent gold rings for sale in the High End Scrip Shop. They will go on sale tonight. They will be made from rare materials.

I also realize many people bought certificates earlier on that were redeemed already. I know some of you have emailed me about changing what you had done due to the smithy's release changing your mind on what you'd like to do with your one service. For just this run only, due to the lack of information on the weighting/padding prices, if you want to redeem a second certificate on a single item, that is allowed.

Lastly, I've added a number of smithy invites to the envelope feeder. I've also added another special certificate that is good for +100 service points for padding only. Just follow the instructions on the certificate to get it redeemed, if you happen to find it. There are two of them total. This will be the only time we offer this at Duskruin. Good luck!

Any more information on the stats on the rings?

Veniom - 12 settings. Urglaes - 5 settings.

Will be out tonight.

Any thought on maybe allowing silver only purchasing for jars/booklets until the 3rd to help a little bit with draining silver? Or is there a reason that it might be better to stop BS generation for the game economy? Either way, the extension is very much appreciated!

We'll see how things look September 1st.

my understanding so far is that W/P/S is to be offered at every event, free or otherwise, but still in a limited format. Is it possible to add an advantage to the Duskruin invites to get in at any event regardless of whether it is for bs, silvers, or whatnot? so if someone is not chosen at an event for service, they will have a choice to use their Duskruin invite instead.

Invites will be good at the next Duskruin. For right now, there aren't any plans, but we'll see after we offer it a few times after Duskruin. Likely the next time we offer it, it will be by a live merchant via spinner.

As thanks here is something that will scale out of a decent price range before you even log in.

Whoever found it is being super quiet about it and supposedly no interest in selling. Could be a rumor -- who knows.

Who was it, and what offer did they take? I've been watching the merchant channel since 9 o'clock this morning and every day prior, and haven't seen a thing.
