17th Year
Search tool, unlimited uses.
What it does : Search the entire belongings of an account on the single shard it is being used on, for a given item or for keyword (i.e. part of the name of an item). It will search all of the secures/lockdowns contained in any house that is attached to the account that is using the tool in game, all of the characters' backpacks attached to that account (whether they are logged in or not), all of the bank boxes of all characters and all of the blue beetles contents that are being mounted by characters belonging to that account (whether logged or not in the game). Basically, if the account holds a searched item, this tool will find it no matter where it is hidden !!!

17th Year (alternative to the above)
An ethereal Mount which is specifically set to count for 0 (zero) followers. That is, the character using it can mount this particular ethereal mount and still be able to use up to 5 followers (like a Greater Dragon, for example...).

17th Year (yet another alternative to the aboves)
A Shard Shields "changing shard" tool
A tool which, when used, can modify the whatever Shard that a Shard Shield may be set to and, therefore, make it possible to changefor what Shard tokens will be produced by the Shield. Can only be used once per month, unlimited uses.
Have had enough of collecting tokens for a Shard that you no longer play ? Use this tool and re-set the pertaining Shard of the Shield and start making tokens for a Shard which you now play !!

17th Year (yeah, one more...)
A special "saddle" to mount any pet ! When used, it will allow to ride any pet that the character has, be it a Greater Dragon or else, even if that pet was originally not ment for riding. Only restriction is that the pet needs to be a tameable and would not work with the Spellweaving spell Dryad Allure.

12th Year
A Jewel Box
Basically a box that can hold up to 500 jewellery items and counts for 1 (like BOD books, Davies' Locker, seeds' boxes etc.) AND that has filters for all existing modifiers. That is, players can drop all of their jewellery in it and then, when searching for a specific modifier or combination of modifiers that they want, the box will show up only those jewellery items having those modifiers among others.

10th Year
An Armoire
Basically a box that can hold up to 500 Armor pieces and counts for 1 (like BOD books, Davies' Locker, seeds' boxes etc.) AND that has filters for all existing modifiers. That is, players can drop all of their Armor pieces in it and then, when searching for a specific modifier or combination of modifiers that they want, the box will show up only those Armor pieces having those modifiers among others.

7th Year
A Weapons's Rack
Basically a Rack (placeable by a Wall) that can hold up to 500 Weapons and counts for 1 (like BOD books, Davies' Locker, seeds' boxes etc.) AND that has filters for all existing modifiers (including the Damage modifiers should one look for a 100% damage weapon...). That is, players can drop all of their Weapons in it and then, when searching for a Weapon with a specific modifier or combination of modifiers that they want, the Rack will show up as a search result only those Weapons having those modifiers among others.

1st Year
A STATs Soulstone.
A special Soulstone that allows the user to store away for future use any of the 3 Stats (Dexterity, Intelligence, Strength). This way, when rearranging Characters which need a different combination of stats, it will not be necessary to rework them all over again....

Please remember when you're counting that the team are not going beyond 15 - so there is no such thing as a 16th year reward and there will be no such thing as a 17th year reward.

My 'twist' on soulstones. A skill cloning soulstone. Will copy a skill from one char to another on the same account. Account bound of course. Possibly limited by time or number of uses. One skill cloned per month maybe?

This is kinda off topic I know.... but. Does anyone know how bring back your vet reward gump on EC?

I remember telling it a long time ago that I would decide later what to pick.

If you are Using Pinco's, he has a ton of toggles buried in the user options tab. If not, well, then I am not sure.

2nd year award:

A new design for a mailbox.

The current one is too contemporary in design and can only be placed on the floor. One that could be mounted on an exterior wall like banners, wall plaques and bulletin boards would be a cleaner look. The old ceramic salt pouches that have wooden lids work well. And of course to suit everyone's individual taste it would have to be dyeable.

The gump only shows when you have rewards available so wait until your next anniversary. In the meantime use stratics or uoguide to review the rewards.

You must have disabled it in Pincos. Go to User Settings and on the Pincos tab scroll down and deselect (uncheck) "Enable Auto-Close Veteran's Reward Gump" . It's about halfway down under the "Other Settings" section.

A non-account bound soulstone is the one idea here I think should NEVER be implemented.

Yes, let's sell new players their skills. No need to learn to play the game. Let me buy my 120'd character.
They are rewards..once u sell it..it's gone..many would use it to move a second tamer or Mage rather then reworking it could go one of two ways..it removes the skill and power scroll or just the skill and you'll still need to eat one to move it...and what do I care if someone "learns" to play..because that wolf spider teaches so much about gameplay..gotcha

It is a good idea, but not for a Veteran reward, IMHO. It could fit well within the new ideas as a Clean Up Britannia reward or for this year's Christmas Holidays.

I absolutely agree. Anything skills or stats related should ALWAYS be account bound.
And I think murderer should ALWAYS be judged in the same manner..I have my reasoning..what's yours?

That's exactly what I did... must have forgotten it was so long ago.
Thanks Zeke!

And for the OP.. how about a token or something that you could carry around that would let you res yourself?

I do not like the idea of skills or stats being able to be transferred between accounts.
Skills of stats should be worked for, that how I see it.
But it was worked for..it's not like I'm creating a skill out of thin air..I spent the 5000 hours training my taming. What's wrong with moving a skill I already worked. What's the difference if I use it one if my accounts or another..there really isn't a reliable way to "sell" skill and keep your reward..and anybody who has to learn the game and is just starting out doesn't have the 175m+ to throw away..unless of course they are buying gold, and in today's account market it's cheaper to buy a fully worked account..

You can still move the skill to another character. To another account has two problems. First is the soulstone market that would inevitably emerge. The second is that people would consolidate skills into few characters and start closing accounts, which means your proposal could contribute heavily to the death of the game.

Its not much work to bind them by hand lol But even still, it should be free and I know I would be upset if the only Powerscroll book we got was a vet reward.

We can already combine a dozen 110s into a 115, and ten 115s into a 120. Turning ten 110s into a 120 for a mere 1000 gold would cheapen them too much. Whether or not the drop rate for 120s is too low, it's the relative scarcity of 120s that makes champ spawns worth doing (particularly for PvP groups). And then imagine the outcry of "unbalancing" that might ensue as the supply is increased.

Oh I meant 10 115's to 120..my bad! Obviously I wasn't ask to skip a tier of scrolls..just an easier way to seperate, categorize and bind without taking up 200 lockdowns or more..

Things I'd like to see that could be good for X-Mas or the Anniversary rewards:

Card box (A box that stores all your cards from years past. But organizes them by year they were received who received them and such..... also holds up to 500 takes up 1 lockdown)

Gift Ticket booklet (Same as the SoA or SoT concept holds all the Gift Tickets and Holiday Gift tickets and organizes and sorts them according to what year they were received and lists what the rewards were. Again holds 500 and takes up 1 lockdown)

Wine Cellar (A nice trunk graphic that holds up to 500 bottles of various drinks from the smugglers. Also holds up to 25 Magic Brews to sober you up ...... again one lockdown)


Rewards for Anniversary gift choices... :

5th year: Statue of King Blackthorn, Statue of Queen Dawn, Statue of Queen Zhah, Statue of Minax, Statue of Mondain

10th year Crystal Portal of (Your characters name)... Allows you to place a crystal portal that will take people to 10 destinations of your choosing. Works like the regular crystal portals but you put runes into it marked to 10 choice destinations... and it allows anyone to come up and use it like a crystal portal without needing recall, Gate, or Sacred Journey skill.

12 year: Embroidery Box ..... Unlimited uses or can be recharged with something perhaps arcane gems..... But allows you to embroider (put names on ) cloth items, robes, hats, sashes..... etc..... like the Engraving tool does for armor.

15th year: Magic Carpet... a magic carpet ride like an ethy mount only it does NOT count as a mount. However you are more suseptable to dismount.

How about a lower aged Shard Transfer Shield that is less potent? Maybe have a limit on how many of these shields can be selected per account? Max of 5 per account? The limit does not get applied to the original Shard Transfer Shields they stay with no limit you can pick.

Year 1 reward Shard Transfer Shield:: Gives one transfer token to selected shard once every 4 or maybe 6 months and are account bound.
Year 7 reward Shard Transfer Shield:: Gives one transfer token to selected shard once every 2 months and are account bound.

Something of that sort...


Again these would have a limit on how many shields can be claimed. Keeping the current year 15 shields more powerful and more sought after.
Make it so new players and late comers have a chance at a shield. I know the 15 year vets earned them for playing/paying so long.. But this way promotes more players moving across shards. Letting more players attend more rares fest events. Can give the average player a chance to get startup items to a new shard. Maybe make some new players play more then one shard. Could also help the number of players at EM events.

Your 12th and 10th year ideas should be non-gold-sink governor abilities, not vet rewards. If a lot of people had that power the griefing could get out of hand--with governors there would be at max 9 people who could be kicked out if they abused the privilege. Furthermore, if it cost a lot, it would end up producing nothing but barkers for gold sellers. (And I don't think vet rewards should be gold sinks anyway.)

We have been rather lacking on indoor plumbing for a long time though...

That's no gold sink. First, it's only available to an elitist group of ancient vets. Real gold sinks should be available for everyone.
Second, it's furthermore only available to filthy rich people. See above.
Third, it's just used to fuel some vanity/luxury item. A true gold sink should be something, you want to spend on a daily or weekly basis.

Soulstones that mount to a wall like a painting so they take up less floorspace.
This would be awesome..if I could store up to 10 full soulstones or 50 fragments in it..I don't have enough wall space for individual ones..doubt many people do
