24.5.1 Giftbag Artifacts
HOW DO GIFTBAGS WORK?
---------------------
There are three types of giftbags; Normal, Celebratory, and Gold.
For every 25 credits purchased your character will receive one normal giftbag. In addition, your character will also receive one giftbag for every 10 credits purchased for your first 100 credits purchased. That means you will get 14 giftbags for your first 100 credit purchase. After the first 100 credits, you will only earn one giftbag for ever 25 credits purchased.
Normal giftbags come with an arrangment of prizes ranging in value from 10 to 50 credits. This includes some bound and unbound credit possibilities.
You may now combine 5 normal giftbags into a celebratory giftbag OR one gold giftbag.
When you open a celebratory giftbag, up to 10 other people in the room will also get a giftbag. Please remember, celebratory giftbags use the same prize table as the normal giftbags.
Gold giftbags only award the person opening the giftbag, but have a wider range of prizes with a value ranging from 100 to 1000 credits.
