Valentine's event 2019 info released

[Nihility]

A meal furnishing doesn't just disappear from its placement if all the servings are consumed. They need to be removed by the owner. You just can no longer get a meal effect from them. Event meals provide very little stat bonuses, and they are intended to be themed decorations for those who have eatery designs for their homes. Even if all the servings are taken, they still serve their purpose, and you can store them to bring out again at your leisure. The reason why this guild member over indulged is likely because these meals still provide the 3% exp bonus that all foods do.

you sure about that? in my experience a fully consumed food just leaves the empty bowl/plate behind

Yeah, a meal furnishing disappears, which is how we got sinks (cake platters), "empty dishes", empty baskets, etc. before they finally decided to start giving us some of them as furnishings.

That's misleading. What happens is the furnishing turns into stuff like empty plates, empty baskets, empty cups and scattered cutlery. Sure the furnishing doesn't disappear but it literally changes into something else when all the stacks have been consumed. The food and drink disappears. Visually speaking it's no longer the same furnishing.

Event meals provide very little stat bonuses, and they are intended to be themed decorations for those who have eatery designs for their homes.

Which begs the question, why make it edible?

That's been partially fixed. You can place and remove as long as none of the charges have been consumed.

Well that's a step in the right direction. Thanks for the info.

Someone was saying they're positive the rewards are bad this year to force people to buy last year's rewards from the cash shop just so they'll get something decent.

I pointed out if the goal with the seasonal event rewards is to encourage players to buy the previous year's items from the cash shop, SE has blown it big time for next year because no one would pay real money for either the sword or the knife.

Last year's rewards were completely uninteresting to me. I have absolutely no need or use for a half-a-heart chair mount that is designed to be used alongside another person. I did the quest on only one of my characters, and didn't even bother activating the mount. I just stuffed it in my retainer's inventory and wish I could properly discard it.

imagine believing this
and someone dreading next years valentines event so much
they panic to do this event so they dont have to buy the items next year

I think the complaints about "Why aren't the stabby things even thematically appropriate?" are kinda funny.

Like, maybe wait to see what the story is before judging?

Because a Valentine's event that rewards stabby things sounds to me like it could be pretty amusing.

[Kahnom]

I’ll treat this event as no-reward quest.
The story better be good.

Just wish that tonberry nice was for Paladin and we got a matching hoodie and tonberry mask so we could look just like them and stab our enemies to death. Imagine the 100s of lalafell that would dress like that! XD ....I'm a make my own glam based off this. 8T

The ARR mages' cowls should work well for a Tonberry costume.

Could use the "lantern shield" as well! Not really close to their lanterns, but it's a start.
