Featured: Divination Cards
Divination cards are a new type of item introduced in The Awakening.
A full card set can be given to Tasuni in exchange for the item(s) described on the card.
Each card can drop only in specific areas. This gives players a way to work toward acquiring certain items without relying entirely on random chance. Divination cards can also be traded with other players.
All divination cards are designed by players who purchase a Highgate Supporter Pack.
