-You can be clicking rapidly through your gold coin turn in, see "Tome" flash up on the screen , then discover it's a +1 Tome. (Unbound before anyone asks). Your elation may turn to ash. Your plans for laughing at your friends and linking your tome forever may suffer a setback. :D

At least it was dex. You can sell/give it to someone who was dumb enough to roll up a twf Elf. I've tried selling the +1 wis tomes game keeps giving me and they keep coming back from AH no matter how low the price is. /cry

Anyone really need a +1 wis tome on Khyber let me know. You can pay base price, I'm just sick of seeing the thing come back.

Not a good time to sell +1 tomes given that they're getting handed out with gold coins. I'd just wait a bit (about 2-3 weeks is all it takes) and then it'll sell again.

I have found that all but charsima tomes sell pretty well on tha agg AH. I had 200 gold coins and sold all but ten on ah. I did pull a sun blade though and it fetched 50K buyout.

I've got to admit to a bit of jealously here.

500 Gold Coins? I think I might have pulled 4 or 5 in the past ten days (or since whenever they began dropping again). The AH prices on them are insane because the drop rate for them is so low (an undocumented change perhaps?).

One might hope that, because the drop rate is so low, mebbe the loot tables for turn-ins might have been correspondingly improved a bit. Seems like no such luck.

I didn't get them all this run (although I'm sure there are people who have that many from this season)
I haven't really turned many in from the last 2 (maybe 3) Festivult seasons. figured I'd get to 1000 and see how it goes.
Got there, but after 500 and my +1 tome ,decided it wasn't my season, so I'll save the next 500 for Xmas.

So your ratio was 1:4:20?

By my experience, you did pretty well on gold, not so well on silver and about right on copper. It sure seems like the drop rate for gold used to be quite a bit better.

I'll buy some of those cookies off you.

My take was 191 copper, 18 silver, 7 gold.

6 of the gold I turned in: 2 White Abishai, 1 Xoriat, 1 Hezrou, 2 Succubus.

Everything else I traded to another player. Won't say for how much, as nobody would believe me. Let's just say he admitted to being addicted to Festivult...

Absorbs 50 Magic Missiles. Not sure if it works against Force Missiles.

My guildmate Pug spent a lot of plat accumulating 160 gold coins.

He got cookies. And one non-remarkable item ... sunblade? Something so non-remarkable I cannot even recall what it was.

Oh well. Plat is over-rated anyway. So mainstream.

This is why I find festivult a waste of time and I no longer coin farm.

when i get 10 k for +1 cha tome you can get 15k for the dex one.

I try to see Festivult from a new players perspective instead of a spoiled, been around forever, self entitled vets point of view.

For them it's great...for us jaded vets.....do we even need it?

I maybe old and a little jaded but I am loving those cookies rolling out new lowbies and having them has been a boon and anyone who dont want their storm reaver cookies on Sarlona fill up Kalari's mail box I am serious I will deal with the over load :D

Its the closest thing to a druid I have right now *whines*

If you look at it from a new players perspective its especially a great way to get money :D We basically financed our guild airship just through selling coins in the auction house. Now all we need are 7 more guild levels <-<

As a Vet thats been around since The Jester made his first appearance (and I think I still have cupcakes left over from then) Before TR was available I would agree, however, now with TR I find them useful items to pull out of my bag of tricks.

I usually AH any I don't/won't find useful and keep the rest in my Large Cookie Jar tell they are needed.

Cupcakes are good things to hand out for celabrations...

I'm trying to decide if I can say I "need" a (or multiple) +4 unbound tomes with a straight face.

Not quite there yet.

i would buy them if they stacked, however space is tight.

The life of a Completionist (Trelaf)

Last Nov. I gave away 24 +1 tomes to unguilded players in the Thelanis Harbor

Looks like this year it might be more.

I sent a little over 100 golds to my cookie jar toon- nothing but cookies.
Last few festivults I've pulled a sunblade, some PoP Xs and a dwarven thrower. I'm not terribly sad; my monk has a full bar of sun flasks, and the cookie jar's about full all over.

Aashrym
07-19-2011, 07:30 PM
347 coins, 1 dwarven thrower and a whole lot of cookies. i like the cookies tho, they make the low levels of TR go pretty fast.
