Wishing on a Monkey's Paw. It's an old fable, that a severed monkey's paw can grant wishes, however, the wish will not turn out the way you want. As an example, you could wish to be incredibly rich, but then all that money you got was stolen from someone else and you're arrested and thrown into jail. Or you could wish to live forever, but then you end up trapped beneath the ocean and spend eternity drowning over and over in terrible agony.

Aahha, thank you! I always assumed you had to be crafty with wishes, nice to know there's a term for when it all goes wrong ;)

I wish they'd give a wingless version of the coat, they just look out of place... Otherwise they're fairly decent.

But this outfit takes the crown of the most ugly and dumb outfit the store has to offer.

But, the discs are part of the lore of Nezha...

Seriously, they're suppose to be like that. They're called the Wind Fire Wheels.

It just came out today for JP, NA, and EU server. It's been out on the Korean servers. I think the Chinese servers have them too but I'm not 100% sure.

In the context of the poster, "It's not what I thought it would be"

The typical "Monkey's Paw" story (actually comes from early 20th century) and similar things like djinn wishes reflect or twist the wisher's heart/personality. So if you had a monkey's paw, no matter what you wished for, there would always be a major downside. So wishing for money, your relatives die in a plane crash and you get an the money via inheritance. Or a bag of money falls into your lap that was stolen from an armored truck, and the cops accuse you of being the thief. Wealth is easily the worst thing to wish for, because it reflects the wishers greed.

A cruel person, will never get a wish granted that will not have some horrible downside. Because their wishes are derived from their internal malice towards others, a cruel person who wishes for fame, would become famous for something cruel they did previously turning into a major scandal.

On the flip side of that, someone who is selfless (never does anything for their own benefit) would wish for something like "world peace", and because it does benefit them, would be twisted to into something like "all world leaders takes up smoking pot", and thus some kind of wacky society forms where everyone is perpetually intoxicated to make them at peace, so people die from accidents due to their intoxiciation all the time instead.

A Djinn wish is a little more up for interpretation. Taken the most literately, the story of Aladdin involved two Genies, the slave of the ring, and the slave of the lamp. The ring gets Aladdin out of the cave, but the lamp is what grants him wealth. However Aladdin's wife is tricked into giving the lamp to the guy who trapped him in the cave originally. In more recent interpretations, the Djinn takes on more of it's traditional origin, and is a trickster. So more recent interpretations of wish-granting Djinn are basically the Monkey's Paw with personality. So if you free a Djinn that is consumed with rage, any wish you make would be "rage/revenge" flavored.


Basically, a Monkey's paw can never grant a wish with no downsides. Not even to wish for it out of existence. A Djinn could be freed from enslavement, but that doesn't mean they won't immediately take revenge upon you or anyone else. So there is an entire mythology about "why haven't cursed things been destroyed", because destroying them is also an act that has unintended consequences.

I have no clue if the system could do that but maybe those wings can be glamoured on the body itself and just leave the body there and just add the wings on top of that. But dunno if that is even possible. (Thats why wings as mounts would be really nice)

So please stop bashing SE for creating an 'ugly' outfit when all they did was respond to a player desire to have region exclusive outfits brought onto our version.

Is there any source for that? We had a link once where they showed SEs office and we saw the pictures of that one chinese mount and as far as we know that just means that everything is still created by SE. I mean they just have a publisher there but as far as I know publishing things does not mean that they also create stuff.
