Which ones would you pick in terms of Value? Point is: I am currently trying to get rid of some of my Drachenfels stuff because I rarely play there. I fell in love with Siege and I will definitely stay (forever). I hope, you like the idea ;)

So, I would like to make a GOOD choice. Easiest would be to pick 3 Soulstones. I expect them to be worth 6.5 Millions now instead of 5 Millions, as the price went up from 8 € to 10 €.

However, I think some of the Vet Rewards should be more sought after. Which are the TOP-rewards you would choose if you could pick? If you would try to pick the most valuable ones, the rarest on Siege, the most sought after?

Thank you all for your help. This is important to me, because I am really selling alot of valuable stuff on DF and I dont want to make a mistake.

Can you help me?

I'm confused, are you trying to sell your vet picks on siege? If so, you can't sell the soul stones, they are stones rather than tokens for stones. In terms of best sellers I would probably pick stumps. Everyone loves free resources.

The vet reward red soulstones are account bound and can't be used by others...so you can't sell them if you pick those. I would still pick those and use them myself if I were you. The ability to switch templates is enormously convenient, especially on Siege.

Doc, If you haven't made the picks yet, why not save them and use them on Siege? Or are you getting rid of the account?

These are picks of mt friend who takes DF-stuff from me. And yes, I forgot the soulstone-problem. Thank you, mates!

I would pick an ethy mount... Maybe an Ozzie :) I would also choose a lighthouse and possibly a sheep or log :)

I'm sure you're aware, but ...

Choose what you want, do not have, and can not trade from someone else.

A Lighthouse, if only for the awesome deco look.
A Davies Locker, for storage and coordinate reference simplification.

If you're a pirate who doesn't need either of those :), and your friend is itching to choose now, I'd go for a couple of year 7's.
Planters has the right idea - go for Tree Stump, and Sheep Statue.
Perhaps leave one unclaimed?

If you're going to be here forever, and you trust your friend will be around too - maybe hang on to all the choices.
Ya never know what might be offered *soon*, particularly with the 20th anni coming.

Could also wait an eternity (2-4 years), and go for multiple future year picks.
Davies Locker, Weapon engraving, or Gadgetry table in year 8.
Mining Cart, or rug (TMap/Seed/MIB)in year 10.
House Teleportation tiles in year 12.

I'll echo others and say that personally I would not choose a soulstone, as you cannot trade them and can get those other ways.

anyways ~ that's my two sovereigns

I wouldn't bother with any dye tubs, they are easily bought from others plus there are lots of public dye tubs.

I would go with a commodity deed box, a seed box if you plant seeds, a davies locker if you like tmaps/sos's, or an ethy if you don't have one, and the crystal portals are nice too.

Thanks! Got the Deed Box and the Crystal Portals. Davies Locker is 8th year, I think.
