Christmas Loot and stuff encountered

Feel free to post what you've received in loot, and what you think so far. Hoping to add more details to the event as it continues, the event is expected to run about 2 weeks so that people that are out of town visiting with family can still get a bit of the action too. It's prolly still not perfect, but considering the crunchtime involved and a few random issues with the gimp.. I'm comfortable to say it's ready. Thanks for your patience, it means a lot to us!

Very very excited.. Am downloading the update now.. Can't wait.. Thanx for all the hard work Zylia, Fuzzy and team =)

Sarumons

I've seen that someone has found 1 of the new novelty poly items. The Lucky Cat Scarf transforms a player into the Manekinko Cat!

I am really enjoying the event so far. Event mops take a bit to kill so there not so easy to farm, that was a good idea. I love the TOI Scrolls to, that is really gonna help replenish my stock =). So far I've got some plats, water cloaks, fire cloaks, wds and rds. Cant wait to see what I get next

Sarumons

Rds',Wds',Bds',Gds', Plats, Firecloaks, Watercloaks, Silver, Firecrackers

Pretty much the same as bluntz, lot of feathers in there too along with toi scrolls and I also got the panda scarf, the kangaroo scarf, the cat scarf, and I think the cloak of death so far. Gonnna keep on trucking hoping for some uberness!!

Doublet of the hog and Apprentice doublet. Are these meant to be non trad-able? If so can that please be changed?

what are those?

Those are the event tshirts, my official first drop that is decent from event is Darkness Dealear Plate!, keep you guys posted.

There are 3 of the doublets that are currently set to drop from the gold stockings. These are intentionally set to non-trade.. for the moment, will do a tally after the event and if there are enough, we'll see about making them tradeable. Got a lot of additional ideas to send for pt2, diligently testing for better playability. Should also include a lower level are to help the lowbies to enjoy the event at thier own pace!

IMO you should move the novelty collars to the reds at a lower drop rate, and remove them from the golds. Along with possibly adding additional stockings to the grinch, whereas he's dropping 2-3golds, 3-5reds and maybe 3-5greens, or some sort of mixture of the reds and greens, but for the degree of difficulty and legitimate amount of people and or pots.cm's.immunes that he requires, it seems like 10minutes for a slightly lackluster drop table..

Drop changes are being updated soon, all droprates including the stockings will be done. You're right tho, the novelty collars should be more useful elsewhere. BTW, anyone get the earrings from gold or red stocking yet?

they appear to be little more than a myth at this point.. granted it doesnt mean its true, but I haven't heard of them dropping yet

Is it a bad idea to hold the stockings & not open them yet? Im wondering if the drops from the stockings are going to change in part 2. Or will more items just be added?

Just a little curious as to why they were set to non tradeable. It takes a group to kill them ( efficiently) so shouldn't the drops be able to be split among who needs a certain item? I also don't see how having larger numbers of an item relates to it being tradeable or not. The event is pretty fun but this would be a buzz kill if they remained non transferable.

The Doublets were added as-is from the database, there will be additional stuffs dropping too, so don't focus on the bad just yet

For once i kinda agree with murderer, I have spent mad cm's and a lot of time trying to kill these grinches because they drop the "Uber" items supposedly, but you only get one gold per grinch and sometimes that gold only drops greens or reds, on top of that what the golds mostly drop are costumes which are cool for novelty but these are the HARDEST stockings to get, they shouldnt be dropping crap that is worse then the reds and greens. But still haven't seen part two yet, but i love all the other items that are dropping they are perfect we need mats, and the cloaks were nice too, id like to see rough mith added in stead of karif pouches, (sick of karif pouches they blow), prolly rough, enchant scrolls, and wind tears are the only mats that could be upped a bit. Looking forward to part 2, just hope this ends up being worth it cuz people have spent a lot of @ on this event. The mops are no joke, oh the other thing id like to see is better exp from these mops, ive gained 1% fighting mops that are harder than abyss mops, in the last 3 days. (On a side note for chao people, the mops dont give you any law at all, mabye add that in if you could, not that big of a deal if you cant)

My 2 cents

I would suggest also adding rough gold [5] into the mix.

It's needed just as much as platinum, as it takes 100 of them to craft pet weapons-- like it takes 100 plat to craft the armor.

As it is, by the end of the event, rough golds will be worth 5x that of platinums.

Actually rough gold is not used as much as silver and platinum, and also karif pouches can give u lump of gold and even gold plate, and thats not the case with gold, although ill welcome rough gold(5) from droplist, its not needed as much as the others, i'd like Rough Silver(5) thou

I'm happy, i have enough scales that I may accually make a dragon armor, i dunno.
