Is the cake a lie?

[Cauthey]

It's at least six years old. Eugh!




Should I try it? What's it going to do to me? Should I try and level up some first? Yikes!



So, I took a bite. Here's what I got:

All Items are Bound to Character except the Hams.

Was it the normal old djinn or does this one grant something else as options?

The cake is ALWAYS a lie. Tasty Ham is better.

Celebrating DDO's 6th Birthday!

• Each character created prior to the February 3rd Lamannia update will receive a slice of birthday cake! This cake slice has the power to summon a cake loving Djinni, who will trade with you for “Nice Things”! Characters created prior to Update 13 on the live servers will receive a slice of the birthday cake once Update 13 is available, so feel free to start making some characters on live today!

So, "Nice Things". Okay, I guess I'll bite. *chomp*

The Caex is a lie too.

When you try and eat the cake it summons a geneie who has a barter trade list for things you can turn your cake in for.

Your choice of a +2 tome, random ddo store items (sp pots, guild reknown, crafting xp, slayer boosts), or 3 pork barrels these are the only thing I don't know how they work yet.

Overall I find these fairly underwhelming. The first cakes given out years ago would be better today as they allow summoning of shrines in raids which is really nice when first learning a raid. These rally just grant a very small xp boost.

Choice of plus 3 tome would be more appropriate since some people didn't get a couple pages ful of plus threes acouple months ago. Also no experience potions there is kinda weak too. 25 major pots is really the best thing here and those are available pretty cheap also due to the same bug/exploit.

The Pork Barrels are clearly the obviously correct choice.

Barter box - you have to feed him the cake for the goodie on the list. I'm doing screenshots now...

hmmmmmmmmmmm.... caaaaaaaaaake....

The pork barrels give you just that. An explosive barrel with a pig sat on it. Break the barrel and after the explosion you end up with a rain of 50 tasty ham.

meh

It looks funny though

[Vargouille]

If you have seen your cake in game and don't know what Pork Barrels do yet, you are doing it wrong. Mad scientists worked long and hard to bring Pork Barrel technology to the people of Stormreach.





(Digital swine may have been harmed in the making of Pork Barrels.)

[nivarch]

Using it will spawn a Djinni. Talking to the djinni will open a barter UI where you can trade the cake for:

• 3 barrels that you can spawn in an instance and will rain 50 tasty hams. So 150 hams.
• A +2 tome of your choice
• 5 Greater slayer boost [50% - 30 minute]
• 25 Major SP pot [405-600 = 10125-15000 SP total]
• 100 SP pot [105-145 = 10500-14500 SP total]
• 100 Heal serious wound pot [3d8+7 hp]
• 400 Heal light wound pot [1d6+3]
• 4 siberys spirit cake
• 6 crafting experience elixir [+25% - 15 minutes]
• 5 Guild experience elixir [+50% - 3 hours]
• 1 ethereal rest shrine

.

Agreed sounds very underwhelming

[LeLoric]

The three pork barrels summona red explosive barrel with a big sitting on top of it. When you blow it up ham falls to the ground all over, 50 tasty hams. While cute and funny still kinda blah as far as a reward.

Once again I will reiterate. These should have a +3 tome, a lesser heart, a true heart, xp elixers, or other things that are more useful. I just find these rewards pretty weak. I know not all the player base is as well geared etc as mea nd can use some of the stuff but it's just my opinion.
