"Why Did My Dread Warhorse's Stats Change When I Stabled It?"

This Seems To Have Caused A Fair Bit Of Confusion. The Dread Warhorse Can Cast Bless And Strength On Itself - When You Use Animal Lore On It, It Will Show The Stats Including The Effects Of Any Buffs. When It's Stabled, It Loses These Buffs (although Of Course It Can Always Cast Them Again.)

--

"Why Do Artifact Level 1 Doom Stealables Have The Same Point Value As Artifact Level 10 Dark Father Drops?"

This Was A Good Point Raised By Our Tc Testers, And We've Broken Out The Artifacts By Level, Instead. (you'll Probably See The Changes Early Next Week.) Instead Of All Major Artifacts Giving 10,000 Points, They'll Vary By Level From 200 Points For The Relatively Common Level 1 And 2 Artifacts To 25,000 Points For Extremely Rare Level 12 Artifacts. Major Tokuno Artifacts Will Count As Level 10 - 10,000 Points - As Well.

"I'm A Fisherman - Why Would I Want To Turn In Soses And Mibs Instead Of Using Them?"

Actually, You Probably Won't. With The Next Revision Of The Turn-ins (next Week) Pre-chest Loot Will Be Worth 250 Points Apiece, And The Chest Might Contain A Fishing Net Which Is Worth More Points. Also, The Ghost Anchor And The Seahorse Will Be Worth 25,000 Points As Well!

"Why On Earth Would I Want To Turn In My Old And Rare Holiday Gifts For Only 50 Points?"

So "holiday & Valentine Gifts" Was A Touch Too Broad A Category - We Don't Want Your Whispering Roses Or That Ancient Fruitcake After All. You May Or May Not Think All Of These Are Worth More As Points Than As Collectibles - Certainly I Know I'm Not Giving Up All Of My Old Things - But I Certainly Have A Lot Of Duplicates Lying Around. (a Lot Of Duplicates... Man. *looks Around At Heaps Of Old Boxes*) Here's The Actual List Of The Items That Can Be Turned In For 50 Points Apiece:

snowglobes
snowflakes
holiday Cards
holiday Trees
poinsettia
holiday Tree Deeds
candy Cane
pile Of Snow / Glacial Snow
holiday Bells
holiday Candles
holiday Statue
mistletoe
reindeers
snowman
holiday Wreath
holiday Timepiece
valentine Cards
rose In A Vase
red Velvet Box (note: This Is For The Container Only. If You Turn In A Box With Stuff In It You'll Still Only Get 50 Points.)

"What Happened To The Potted Cactus That Was On The Reward List Last Friday?"

We Made Some Last Minute Tweaks And Changes On Monday, So It Got Taken Out. I Suspect A Nefarious Plan...

(I Always Suspect A Nefarious Plan. And With This Team, I'm Usually Proven Correct :p)

Correction!

There Was A Typo In The Test Center Notes (now Corrected) - The Luck Jewelry, When Worn As A Set, Gives 400 Luck, Not 300. Sorry!

I totally passed up a whole mess of v-day cards today . arg! oh well.. they're only worth 50 pts each... plus i got a 5k pts ticket for free today so that makes me happy

I don't think i have any items that will be giving me too many points.
And i really wish i hadn't used up all my points earlier . I didnt knwo they'd be expanding the list of turn -inables till i had already used all my reward points.

Personally I would not worry about it. I think the reason the points are so low is because I doubt EAMythic will turn off the turn ins. So you will get some points each and every year.

ladykolleen · 31st May 2008, 08:05 PM

i know what you mean about the vday cards! i had at least 200 in my house and i thought they were lame and taking up space so i trashed them a few weeks ago! along with tons of holiday items.

Kimmy · 31st May 2008, 09:16 PM

yep got rid of all my boxes and about 50 poinsetas snow men etc

jaycorvus · 1st June 2008, 06:02 PM

Does anyone know if you can turn in the tokuno stealables? It talks about the doom ones but not the tokuno ones.

Magister_Returns · 1st June 2008, 08:25 PM

Have you tried to turn them in on test? I'm thinking anything with an artifact rarity will work...
