Want to cash in on DDO's free may items? Some tips...

[knightgf]

Edit: Unfortunately, the title needs to be changed to, "Want to cash in on DDO's 1-point may items? Some tips...", since the items are no longer free.

Some of you may be eager to cash in on DDO"s "1-point items every day in May!" offer, and some of you may be wondering about a few things. To save you time(And possibly frustration), here are a few tips for cashing in on your coupon!

• Most offers are just good for one use only. If it is not, it will be listed in the twitter post(Thanks QuarterMasterM)
• Don't forget to paste or type the code into the coupon box once you've added the item to your cart and ready to checkout!
• Do pay attention to what the offer tells you: For example, if the offer is 3X travelers tokens, it is referring to the 3 pack of travelers tokens. If you can't find it, try hitting "Show All Items" so that it says yes. Do be warned: Your character may not be able to use the item properly!
• You need 1 Turbine point to buy the product. ONE. UNO. You can very easily get points if you put enough effort into it.
• All coupons used are per account, not character.
• You can both get the 1-point item and buy more all in one transaction.
• You DO NOT need to have a twitter account in order to view the coupon code. Just simply go to http://twitter.com/#!/DDOStore and find whatever offer you missed.
• Offer is good for one day only, unless stated otherwise.
• You cannot get 10 of the items in your cart, then use the coupon to get them all for one-point.(Unless stated otherwise)
• When in doubt of the item's bindness, just buy only for the character you want the items to be on.
• I believe you will have to use the link above or this link to find out the latest coupon code, I do not feel like keeping this updated every day.
• Posting the coupon code is not a violation of the rules.(Thanks QuarterMasterM)
• I already redeemed my item, and I quite like it considering that its just one-point.
• If you have any further questions or comments, feel free to post here.

That is all.

Great post, thanks knightgf.

Some of the free offers will be more than 1 item per account. We'll call this out the amount of uses on twitter. However this will usually mean you will need to use the coupon X times rather than change the quantity being purchased.

Reposting the code is fine.

There is a bug that will prevent you from redeeming the free item if you have fewer Turbine Points in your wallet than the base cost of the item. There is no current workaround aside from acquiring more Turbine Points.

If you are unfamiliar with coupons and how to use them, you can read this guide.

Enjoy your items!

Since reposting is fine, i will update the thread with the new codes (whenever i remember).


EDIT:
Made a new thread were i will post the codes here:

Ugh,thats why it did not work for me. I only got 20 Tp cuzz i spent it all on the packs and a heart of wood. Kinda lame, In order for me to cash in on any free stuff i gotta put more money in my account. !!!! You guys shud fix this!!

I will probably end up using this code to try it out myself, but just wondering if anyone who has used the Elixer of Angel's Tears before knows whether it restores negative levels..?

(Also, the DDO Store potion of Remove Paralysis seems to say that it can be used while paralysed...does it really let you free yourself from a Hold spell?)

Sadly, it does not. As it is a Panacea effect, I believe also it does not heal any stat damage despite the description. It's basically a useful curative for getting rid of a variety of not-so-nasty-but-annoying effects. Don't try using it on undead or another ally though. As for the Remove Paralysis potion...I never tried it, so I couldn't tell you.

May First:
Elixir of Angel's Tears with coupon code qamu3hus

That's good to know, because Twitter doesn't appear to load up properly in my browser, so I never use it.

[pharky]

angel's tears give a panacea effect, which should not remove neg levels. only restoration and greater restoration does that.

i could be wrong though

Easy workaround. Start an alt and run an hour of Korthos for your first Favor TP reward. And while you're down there recruit a couple newbs into your guild, give them a piece of +1 gear you've got tying up space, and reap even better rewards down the road

Dont forget there is a twitter feed gadet for Win7 and Vista (and XP) built by Ormsbygore. It gives you single click access to all DDO related twitter feeds from your desktop (and not in a browser window).

That'll get a whopping 25 DDO points. badbob is right, any premium types such as myself who spent all their DDO points recently (like on the new pack) are kinda getting shafted on this. I realize it's not on purpose but I hope turbine looks into this bug quickly.

Just to be sure expectations are appropriately set: This issue will not be fixed during the time of the free item giveaway. Store updates are done differently from game updates, and generally can't be hotfixed in the same way or with the same speed.

Sorry all.

What is Turbine going to do to compensate those of us who are unable to take advantage of the giveaway due to this issue?

[danotmano1998]

Sorry, I don't tweet, myspace, or facebook.
If it's a DDO thing, I would expect it to be somewhere here on the DDO forums, with all the other special DDO offers and such.

THIS is where I come to find out about DDO stuff, not a social networking site I have zero use for. That's my 2 coppers.

+1 A lot of us have already spent all, or most, of our TP, that we've purchased with real money. Now we get to sit, and see all the stuff that is being given away, for the rest of the month. Could this have been prevented, perhaps by having this free give away thing for a weekend to start off with? You know, like some kind of test. Seriously, it's 30 more days of advertising something that a large group won't be able to participate in. 30 more days of people coming on here and complaining. Something should be done to fix this...

And someone is taking their own personal time to write it down day by day on the forums what the code is, and Turbine is allowing this.

If this isn't good enough for you, then this FREE gift designed to promote DDO on Twitter won't be for you. I'm sure everyone at Turbine will be heart broken about it, as will all your fellow players, but we will struggle to carry on.

Supermarkets don't compensate when they do not have the item advertised on sale in stock. Similar concept.

They will fix it....just not in time for this first trial run.


And to be honest....do you really think they are gonna give away some of the nicer high ticket items?
