Online at https://www.aetolia.com/credits/ you will find packages of arrows for sale. Now, somewhat chaotically, these arrows do not exist physically and are merely tied to your heart. To fire an arrow like that, you'll need a Heartstring Bow... CALLFORTH HEARTSTRING. Then it's as simple as finding someone who needs a little love and SHOOT <person> (LoS or in the same room, some combat restrictions apply)

Being shot will get Easy Katy's attention! Katy will find those that have been hit with arrows and pass out a bag of prizes for them. That prize is limited to once a Howling. In addition, the person who shoots the most targets before the howling, and the person who has been shot the most times, both will get 25cr! All ties split those rewards.

At the end of the day, around the Howling, Katy will start looking for people who have been shooting her arrows, and much like Ironbeard.... you get a present! 25 arrows fired nets a gold purse, 5 a silver, and singles a bronze. If they don't divide easily you'll get a mix of purses in descending order gold->silver->bronze. This resets on the Howling, so if you want gold purses, don't spread out the shots!

PROMOTIONS contains all the commands!

So let's summarize:

Buy arrows online.
PROMOTIONS CALLFORTH HEARTSTRING
PROMOTIONS SHOOT <victim>
Victim gets a chance at getting an Easy Katy prize.
Arrows shot by you break down at the Howling into gold (25) silver (5) and bronze (1) prizes.
(you can STATUS to see how you're doing, ARROW GIVE to give them away, and HURRYUP to beg Katy to hurry the heck up)

Questions:

Where is the Valentine's Day shop going to open at? I can't find it!

Is a golden purse guaranteed to give out one of the 5 prizes listed above, or does it also dip into the silver purse pool to guarantee at least 750cr worth?

EDIT: Some purses are still spitting out Hearts of Darkness currency. That's for an old Witch/wares event, isn't it? I think it should have been replaced by sachets?

Tiur

Oh no, they give the old stuff too! And I might have forgotten to attach the shop, hm.

It doesn't dip into any other pools, that's pretty much the full list. There are some combinations of credits there that could happen, like 500+500+750 that don't show, but that's it.

Elene

Seems like there's three currencies: wilted flowers, flower sachets, and hearts of darkness.

Afaik, wilted flowers seem to come mostly from bronze purses? Flower sachets from bronze/silver, and hearts of darkness random?
