Can't see anything yet and it's Feb 14th on Europa...

I thought there was going to be a 'clicky' for a suit of armour or something...

Isn't that how the game works? It's forgotten until enough players start a public outcry. And if you get enough people and more importantly the right ones on your boat, Mesanna will eventually move.

Maybe the devs didn't get any Valentines cards and are grumpy...

Maybe it won't get turned on until the U.S wakes up.

If I remember right these clickys have to be placed by hand. So it may be a while yet - however since they're there till March 2nd, I have enough patience to wait a few hours.

Thanks Petra, I am happy to wait, but it wouldn't be too much trouble for them to politely post something along the lines of what you just said. I have a limited play window and don't like to waste it.

this preview was placed on TC
but they didn't let us click on it

I figured that they probably won't be up on all shards
until this afternoon

... clickies usually aren't placed until around 11:00am - 1:00 pm EST ... and the publish notes said it would be at Blackthorn's Castle in the kitchen.

*this will teach people to READ the patch notes that were published over 2 weeks ago before they start to complain.*

Patience should most definitely be virtue in this game....

Anyone know why it is called a taste tester?
Taste testing chocolates? Why are they armored? Maybe my cook needs a full plate suit. Maybe taste ID has become dangerous. Hmmm

Theres an npc oracle quest chain on GL from heckles that goes into the story of it from saturday. Blackthorns in trammel. Ems did a good job for the most part, when get to the bakers, its "chop chop".

Nobility usually employed a "taste tester" that would take the first sip of a drink and/or bite of food to see if it was poisoned. Needless to say a noble with many enemies went through many such servants.

ya, but you usually don't taste flowers hehe
they should have put a chef's Toque on it

my guess...
the Knight is bringing flowers to the Chef
in hopes the Chef doesn't poison him

Why wouldn't the rare hue be put in patch notes? Anyone able to verify which is the "rare" hue?
wouldn't 1068 be considered rare
because it is two different color of roses
in the same bouquet

seems to me that 5 of them are 4 digit numbers
(which are usually considered rare)
and 1 common color

If it is then I've just been super unlucky with the fire color because I've only gotten 1 out of like 30+ characters so far, gotten lots of the multi colored shade though. :(

True or not? The friendship roses will always be red. The rare hue is the statue's bouquet? There are 6 bouquet colors?

the devs are the only ones that can answer that for sure.
but with the wheelbarrows, i check those all at the same time
with one char.

so I will probably do the same thing with these.
but will have to wait a week,
because i have been picking them as I get them

Don't think any you listed are rare. They are far too easy to get as statue bouquets. All of them. I thought the actual rose would have one of 5 common colors or one rare color. I thought the bouquet color of the statue was the one you had a chance for. Different bouquet colors, different chance. Maybe it is like those stupid candles, rare hues so rare very few players got one. So far on this I have been totally wrong. I do like the goblin very much.

It's hard to tell by the way it's worded

1644871342569.png

If it IS the statue itself, we've already gotten all 6 colors and none of them are more rare then the others.

So either it's a typo and meant to say 6 common and 1 rare...OR it's just not rare at all.

All of the roses so far have been the same color.

Your toons are always lucky. I got the gold one on try 22. But since I got them all they are not that rare.

To read that easier:

  • Provides a rose once per week
  • Available in 5 common and 1 rare colors
