When I was complaining, uh, I mean suggesting for an adjustment on the price of drill pugils and dwarf calamaries... or whatever they are, I know I mentioned having them removed altogether, but I didn't imagine you'd take it that seriously!
Heh! At least I can now relax on that regard a bit, though now there is the Timepiece... for 3000 points!?
/sigh
I really need to learn to not hoard so much stuff. My /bank is literally full of (event) furnishing already as is, so it would definitely be for the best if I could look away.
So for me, the only useful/wanted item(s) was/were left off this time around. What do you, the reader think of the latest list? Do you think the letterboxes that are (I think) 100%-loot from certain enemies are nice and cool? I could possiblai think of at least a couple of more useful things, but who knows, perhaps someone will take home a few of them.
I of course have many uses for many of the items, but I'm very indifferent about them, since I can go and do what normally is required for them. The bait for matsya is quite time consuming to procure, and I actually appreciated the idea of them being included. I'd appreciate it more if they weren't so highly priced, of course.
In theory, I might be able to get the amount the campaigns awarded, within one day, by fishing up around 200 cave cherax (from looking at my notes, I'd often be around 40 pugils at 140-200 cherax).
In a real-world example, between February 7th and May 5th, I got about 222 dwarf pugils from 872 cave cherax. Adding the bait from two campaigns, in which I used almost all of the points of 4 characters into these, I've got about 30 matsya (from which none had a shawl; I'm expecting the first one to come somewhere at around 300, meaning I should need about 2000 bait more at least, which is what, around 30 months at this pace, and I want more than one shawl).
Speaking of price, that of the duck ring still makes no sense (assuming I know of all that it does), nor does the price of the expertise ring. These are things that might be cool to obtain from the gobbie mystery boxes, if they were actually made worth the time it takes to play their menu-game... I think my total daily tally is somewhere between 50,000 and 80,000 points, or thereamabouts.
Uff, this post suddenly doubled in size... ooopsies! It probably seems more ranty than intended, too. I was simply wondering what others think of the event nowadays, and of the current items provided by it.
Meh!
Anyblue, it looks like I'll remain as a not-a-fan of these logging in campaigns, and them myst'ry boxes. ^^;
Thanks for checking in!
