In a series of recent polls, we asked the community to design a brand new microtransaction. The results determined that we would be making a set of Wings with a Three-Headed Creature design. The finalised concept art for the Wings is now ready which means it's time to vote for the concept you want to see in Wraeclast at some point in the future!

This poll will be open for one week. Once the winner has been determined, we can begin the process of developing the microtransaction. Thank you to everyone who participated in this process!

The results are in from our recent poll asking the community what reward they want to see on "The Hook" Divination Card. Today, we've taken the top three choices from last week's post and are asking you to make one final vote to determine the new reward for the card.

This poll will be open for one week. Cast your vote on the forum post here! You will need to be logged into the forum to vote. Once the poll has ended, we will arrange the new reward for the card so that "The Hook" can be enabled again in our 3.18 expansion.
