Aethergoop!
An unstable aetherwave has rocked the Starhopper, spontaneously generating a horde of slivven! However, the Slivven are covered with aethergoop, a very strange substance that intrigues Professor Gargle von Fixit. Help the Professor investigate this aethergoop by killing the slivven that are now running around Avechna's Peak and bringing him the bodies. Upon handing him 10 corpses of slimed slivven, you will complete the daily quest. Complete the daily quest 21 days in June, and you will receive 15 refined aethergoop.
What is aethergoop? Glad you asked! It is the latest promotional feature whereby you'll receive aethergoop for purchasing credits throughout June. See CREDITSALE for how much aethergoop you will get. Aethergoop can then be used to transform into artifacts! See AETHERGOOP for syntax. Mostly, these are artifacts that already exist but reskinned (maintaining the exact same functionality). Some items are dingbat items and some are credit items. (Once the goop is formed, you can trade-in the items for their credit or dingbat value.) Goop can only be received through credit purchases (or the special quest). However, we've added a few auction artifacts and a new transplanar device.
Throughout the month, we may be adding other reskinned artifacts or perhaps even more new artifacts!
Let us know what existing artifacts you may be interested in seeing reskinned for aethergoop! Also, we are open to adding auction artifacts or even brand new artifacts! Take a look at the artifact thread in Ideas and see if there's anything of interest!

I really like this month's promotion, and thank you for putting a means for people to earn some goop in game!
The divine voice of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations, Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."
You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!
Perhaps I'm missing something, but from the looks of it, you can only get a max of95 group this month (15 from the quest, 80 if you got 2000 credits). How are people suppose to get enough goop for things with higher goop cost?

Edit to Xenthos' post: Oh. I thought it was a one time thing that you could only get once.
1) If this sale does well, it will likely make a repeat.
2) If it makes a repeat, this will allow you to do things like "build up" goop. Buy a few bits now, then the next time it comes up, buy more. That way you can slowly work towards some of the unique things you want, and also buy other cool things now with the credits you get as well!
3) Estarra is looking into a way to "upgrade" (using a bit of aethergoop) a current artifact that you own into the flavoured artifact.
PS: I really like this promotion.
I do think that being able to assure the players that there will be at least one more in a few months would help though, because it would allow players to know that they can (at the very least) split it up between two months.
Let's assume this goop is tradeable, which I haven't seen anything saying it is. Say 3 people buy 2k credits at 579 each and all sell their goop to one person. They also complete their monthly quest and sell them to this one person. About 1700$ spent, and this one person still doesn't have enough to afford a doctoral cord they could have spent 1k credits (299$) to purchase and 50 credits to customise.
Am I missing something?

Subj: Aethergoop Update
For the cost of 10 aethergoop, you can transform an artifact you own
into an aethergoop artifact IF AND ONLY IF that artifact is the base
type (i.e., faerie wings can become bat wings, etc.). Not all artifacts
may be available for transformation (but most of the standard artifacts
that are reskinned should). See AETHERGOOP for syntax.
Penned by My hand on the 17th of Juliary, in the year 384 CE.

Aethergoop update! See Announce 2336.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I love ninja'ing announcements.
In any event, let me know if there are any artifact ideas that you think would work with aethergoop or if there are existing artifacts you'd like to see reskinned that you've had your eye on, and we'll look at including them in this promotion. You may want to consider low credit values which will translate to low aethergoop values that'd be available to more players.
BTW, you can now see the descriptions of items with GOOP INFO as well as what they do!
I could do with a less-golden soap.
Less likely to happen, but what about some sort of access to older promotions? Like 15 credits for a random gnewpie or some number of genie curio pieces. Might be nice for the people that have most but not all of a complete set if they could put in a little bit to finish it. It could also be good for leveling the playing field a little for people who missed out entirely on one of the power spikier promotions, too. Price them so that getting them at this promotion costs more per thingy than at the original promotion, if you're concerned with turning this one into every past promotion at once.
As for the rest, I could see that.
