post here when your shard gets the star on the tree

Star = everyone is guaranteed a gift when a bag appears on the 3rd day
(if you drop a bulk order deed on the elf, before the bag appears)
(EC users can drop it on their health bar)

Nice. Thanks. The last of the virtue rewards are coming this year!

I have found putting .1 alchemy on a toon allows you to get BODs for potions that are on the vendor and never run out. Can buy from the NPCs from upstairs or without entering the room in Luna.

I brought eggs to many shards to get the magery book. And bought 100% LRC suits.

I hope I'm not the only one actively working on Lake Superior trees. I have a lot of BODs to drop, but I know I can't do eight trees. LOL

I just SOLOED Lake Austin's Britain tree.

As Governor of the fair city, I saved up LBODs all year, and it took 307 low-end LBODs (iron Smith & Tinker, Tailor Leather & cloth, Fletcher/Carpenter wood & oak, Inscription, low-end cooking (everything below Miso & sushi), and Alchemy (3-part & 4-part larges).

I still have 102 larges to help other cities with... Screenshot 2023-12-08 17.03.46.png Screenshot 2023-12-08 17.17.18.png Screenshot 2023-12-08 17.28.22.png Screenshot 2023-12-08 17.42.22.png Screenshot 2023-12-08 18.08.29.png

Ya I don't have the red masks glass yet. They are weighted. 96 pieces we would get old stuff all the time if not.

You have around 30 days to collect the gifts already. It's not until the event ends or the town get a second tree that you can't go and collect your gift anymore. Only time limitation is that you only have 3 days to drop your bods to build the tree.

Anyone find it ironic that so called dead shards managed to complete their trees, yet the uber-shard Atlantic failed moonglow and only pushed jhelom through in the wee hours before the deadline?

Believe it or not, Atlantic has been doing well this year. Sometimes they have none or just a few full trees.

You are supposed to have a higger chance to get new stuff, and a lower chance to get older stuff, but never seems that way right? Bet ya they made a error somewhere with that, or i really dont understand when they said newer items were weighted.

The newer ones are weighted, I have gotten 4 new items or more each round. I get very few pillows or lanterns or paintings relative to newer items.

There are 96 items. We would have a 4% chance to get the new stuff if not weighted.

Yep, but the halloween stuff is weighted as well, and i will get tons of old stuff before getting anything new. I would like to see the code and loot tables to go with it. This is a small team, and there is probably only 1 person coding for them, so mistakes can and will happen.

Test center doesnt test much anymore. The least they coukd do is release small snippets like this for the community to help, just like they used to back under luecrocian for 5onfriday

An hour and a half ago, I started sending my characters to the Drachenfels Skara Brae tree. My heart sank into my shoes when I arrived there to hand in my first BoD. There was nothing there yet, not even the little scrawny twig-thing. And then, as I logged in and out, I saw it grow, notably through the efforts of ladies Arwen, Ayaluna, Eysha and Ilka. Then, just a few minutes ago, the star was there.
Impressive work!
