Recipemaker in the Holiday Spirit

[moomooprincess]

FREE stuff to be given away. For some of you that are server challenged, this post or thread is in the CANNITH server forum. If you play on Argonesson, no matter how hard I squeeze stuff through my ethernet cable it won't get to you.

I am currently saving up stuff to be given away during the holidays.

Some items in storage now
+1 tomes, portable holes, mithril armor&shields, adamantine armor&shields, some weapons. Assorted odds and ends.


FAQ
Just what does given away mean? It means FREE. Zero strings attached.

Where? I try to be level appropriate. Stuff that is low level will be in the Harbor or Korthos.

4th level gear Harbor or Market

tomes will be given away anywhere

Portables hole(s) will be given away in marketplace or higher

When? During the Festivult, if it happens, or sometime in the month of DECEMBER 2010. Today is November, so it won't be today.

I have yet to figure out what pajamas people really, really want. I offer stuff and usually get no bites.

You can add stuff you might like and I will see if I can find it. The MAJOR CAVEAT, just because you want it does not mean I am going to put it under your tree.

When I am in the mood to clear out inventory space that will be the time I offer the stuff. If you are around when I do it, then good luck.

I prefer to give loot away to new players.

You would not believe how many tells I get from players that ask how much? Even though in my trade chat I specifically state FREE or I mis-type and say FREEEE.

EDIT: I decided to use this for only players that read the forums. I will post a password for the items in this thread. If you know the password, the item is yours. I will also change the passwords to mess with people since I know once I post a password people will then use the chat channels to tell what the passwords are.

Props to ya, giving stuff away is fun.

You might find forum posted passwords skew you away from new players and towards the greadier forum vets looking for another 20 k plat of free goodness. Could be wrong though, and would be good platform to introduce new players to the forum community.

If you start to get skinny on freebies towards the end of your program send me a tell.....I've 6 +1 tomes and 6 portable holes I would donate thru you.

Happy holidays!

[ConnorMacLoad]

ya, huge props for this, unfortunately i do not think the clientele you want to reach is the one on this forum. In any case, i also have a few things kickin around you can have if you come short, just /tell.

also pajamas at low levels are usually guard of resistance ones i have found. the ones that are really good are usually too good to give away imo. RR heavy fort vanilla or something.

[tunabomber]

I could really use some +1 tomes for my lowbies,as I rarely if ever find any tomes of anykind.

[Maelphistez]

Same offer as Varr... let me know if you run low and need some +1 tomes and CPH to give away. I'm pretty sure I have some squirreled away on a mule somewhere.

[Fomori]

Dang, if cannith was my primary server I'd toss a few things your way to help out the cause.

Anyways, props to you...

yeah but im broke,dont have time to play all day everyday I have a wife and kids... you know,im lucky to have like 100k pp between chars right now,i do buy alot of stuff on ah but not tomes usually.Heck i prolly have some stuff i can use in trade for the tomes that other folks would like to have.Dont really like askin for freebies but you gotta do what ya gotta do sometimes,all I can do is pay it forward,I give alot of items away to people also.

I should have added

LOW level stuff will not be password protected. Anything in the harbor or korthos will NOT have a password. I will do my usual vetting there.

For pajamas I have offered moderate fortification robes MULTIPLE times, no one asked for it. I am thinking the Robe of Winter for a 4th level would be nice though. I have three of those and can always get more.

Necklace of Contemplation

The stuff I will password protect is some other cool stuff that people seem to desire. But I really don't want some of those items to go to a new player that does not really know what the item is for.

for example, a complete icy burst kit. Only a vet would know what that is for.

[moomooprincess]

Time to be determined depending on what the family does on Sunday and what my honey do list is.

In the Holiday spirit I am

Icy Burst kit = Recipe 3 + Recipe 4 + Recipe 5 + 300 motes
20 Tapestries
15 Adamantine Ore
4 +1 tomes
2 Collapsed Portable Holes
Ring of Feathers
three pairs of Feather Falling Boots (might be too high of level and people already have them)
Robe of Winter level 4 Fire Resist 20
Cloak Protection +5 level 15
Sacred necklace of Protection +4 level 13
Necklace of Contemplation basically for monks
3 Luminescent Dust + 9 Fragrant Drowshoods
6 Sparkling Dusts + 12 Deadly Feverblanch
5 Vials of Pure Water + 22 Strings of Prayer Beads
Eternal Wand Ray of Frost Level 5
TWO Snow Elemental Gems
Candy Canes
Rogue Tools +3 and +4
Sun Flasks good for oozes and undead

Assorted Mithril and Adamantine Armor mostly for low levels

A few weapons but weapons are very difficult to determine what people want. The weapons I find interesting, other players don't.

Other stuff to be added later. My Santa Bag is just about full of stuff.

[ThunderTank]

Where's mah cold shield potions? Running out of them! *hands start to shake*


Nice initiative. +1 rep.

[moomooprincess]

Not exactly sure. I will play a character and find a stash on that character and go "Oh, did not know I had those there."

Then forget about them.

[moomooprincess]

Today, I have been giving away a lot of stuff and the rest of the stuff I am placing a password on it.

When I mention the item mention the corresponding password and the item is yours.

If no one mentions the password, then I just keep the items or keep on giving them away.

In CAPS I wrote the name of the player that received the item.

GEMDUST Ice Station Zebra = Icy Burst kit = Recipe 3 + Recipe 4 + Recipe 5 + 300 motes
JRIZZT Karastan Carpets = 20 Tapestries
NIRON Homestake Mining = 15 Adamantine Ore
NONDO Red Rippers = +1 DEX tome
OOGSWAY Navy Seals = +1 DEX tome
SNOWMANE Pope John Paul = +1 WIS tome
WENPIT Incredible Hulk = +1 STR tome
STARSTONE Nightcrawler = 1 Collapsed Portable Hole
MOTIF Bag of Holding = 1 Collapsed Portable Hole

TINYTURTLE Gary Gygax = Ring of Feathers
did not write down and no clue Beyonce = 3 Luminescent Dust + 9 Fragrant Drowshoods
ELKAANA Peta Flashpin = 6 Sparkling Dusts + 12 Deadly Feverblanch
did not write down and no clue FREE = 5 Vials of Pure Water + 22 Strings of Prayer Beads
SINGINGROSE Ice, Ice Baby = Eternal Wand Ray of Frost Level 5
VISYRIES Vanilla Ice = Snow Elemental Gem
ANGTUR Edgar Winter = Snow Elemental Gem

[hooblaboo]

Are you still giving stuff away? I would really love to have a collapsed portable hole and the icy burst kit...If it was already taken I understand...

Also due to timezone difference, I don't think I'll be online that much when you're online...I'll try tommorow though!


Character is: Crimioni (9 Paladin / 2 Fighter)

[moomooprincess]

On Novemeber 30 I posted I would do this.

On December 3, I posted that I would do it on Sunday, December 5.

On December 5, I started giving away a lot of loot around noon or so.

I gave it all away on December 5 at 7 PM EST to 9 PM EST. I also gave a bunch of low end loot away all day starting around noon. 16 sets of mithril and adamantine armor and shields. +2 and +4 characteristic items. Protection +5 items. Resistance items, one necklace of contemplation, a few weapons, but nothing earth shattering since weapons are hard to determine what people like.

Amazing how few players, in game, read the forums. Hopefully, I drove some to come here and learn from the forums. Only three players had ACTUALLY read the forum before I started to give hints.

I had to give hints during my giveaway, like this,

"I Publicly posted the passwords over two hours ago."

"The passwords are still PUBLICLY available."

"If you are playing the game right now, you were given access to the post." This means that when you sign up for the game Turbine GIVES you a login to the forums. Every player has access to the forums.

The most commonly guessed magic word was "Please." Which was wrong.

[Macroscian]

Ha yes, I did guess 'Please' too =)

EDIT I find all I read here will be builds and discussions on minmaxing ~ the socializing stuff will come in time.
