Globes of Shifting Continents - the December 2014 Edition

  • SuladanSuladan
    Usually my luck sucks, but I figured what the hell, and bought 5 globes. Got:

    17,460 gold
    comms, vials
    hellcat collar
    pack lining
    crated travelling cart
    9 racing tickets
    40 credits
    Pixies' Boots

    I'd been saving to buy 300 credits, so with that blew it on globes. Got another twenty globes.

    In batches of five for comparison:
    11,430 gold
    comms, vials
    hookah bowl
    hourglass bulb
    globe middle
    crated travelling cart x 2
    35 credits

    11,520 gold
    comms, vials
    35 credits
    reincarnation
    globe middle
    22 sips of lucky

    99,225 gold
    comms, vials
    30 credits
    artefact discount voucher
    globe middle

    11,205 gold
    comms, vials
    trait reset
    arte vial
    15 credits
    globe bottom
    whistle top
    13 sips lucky


    The first batch was definitely the best, but rest were not too shabby. If I manage to sell all the random stuff - including all these carts (I have four now, anybody wanna buy one?) - then I think I'll end up with the 300 credits I wanted, plus the boots as a bonus.
    The Truths hurt. Always.

    SOMEONE TAKE MY CREDIT CARD AWAY BEFORE I SPEND ANOTHER 450 DOLLARS ON THESE THINGS.

  • AepasAepas
    I will gladly take that off your hands. Then I can spend another 450 dollars.

    People have officially lost their minds. Someone wants 15 credits for a box of parts that you can put 10 things in that lasts 7 days. There is no way someone can make 15 credits in those parameters.

    Also, someone wants to sell globes for 50 credits. If you buy a globe from the website, it costs $5. Why the Freaking Heck would someone pay $20 for something they could buy for $5?

    That being said, here's my take with 30 globes.

    200 credits ($60), 60300 gold sovereigns, a backpack lining talisman piece, a globe's bottom talisman piece, 2 globe's middle talisman piece, 3 globe's top talisman piece, a hookah's hoses talisman piece, a hookah's wind hood talisman piece, 2 horn mouthpiece talisman pieces, a left horn strap talisman piece, a whistle's top pipe talisman piece, a group of 40 coal pieces, a group of 70 pieces of rope, a group of 120 spools of cloth, a group of 20 steel bars, a group of 50 wood commodities, a group of 219 lobelia seeds, a group of 75 goldenseal roots, a group of 87 ginseng roots, a group of 50 sileris berries, a group of 136 bloodroot leaves, a group of 22 goldenseal roots, a group of 74 sileris berries, a mountain of gold sovereigns (35065gp), a mysterious toybox, 2 wooden boxes of parts., 2 artefact discount vouchers, an artefact discount voucher, an elegant diamond vial, 30 oaken vials containing 240 sips of speed, 480 sips of mending, 300 sips of mana, 360 health, 180 restoration.

    Seems like a good deal to me.

  • KresslackKresslack Florida, United States

    Actually, I'd ask @Tecton about it. I got a free reincarnation during the first ever globe promo and since I already had one, it didn't credit me another. Messaged and he gave me a dagger of reincarnation,  so if it's a case of you already had one, I bet they'd hook you up. Otherwise unless policy changed or you just didn't want a reinc, luck of the draw I guess.

    Yeah I didn't already have one, just really have no intent on reincarnating after I've gotten used to Atavian. Wings can be pretty great, not gonna lie.

    Ring of Flying,  baby. Such a good artefact for the price.

    I bought 5, got 2 vials of Lucky, 20 credits and a marionette plus some herbs and elixirs I can't use. :(

    Edit: does anyone know if the vials of Luck are artefact vials or do they just disappear when you run out?

    Go Mhun, buy ring of flying. Better and cheaper than staying Atavian and buying an Armband of Celerity. If you already have the armband, go any other race and buy ring of flying.

    They're not artefact vials. The sips give a crit chance bonus for 12 hrs per sip.

    @Antonius, I really am considering going back to Mhun and just buying a Ring of Flying, now that Trey mentioned it. Time to save up credits again.

    Someone give me 400 credits.


    Also, anyone know what the horn pieces are for, or their general worth?

    Horn/rams horn is for shouting. And you can get a full set for like 10 credits.

    They -are- nondecay until you take the last sip, then they become a regular vial with 150 months.

    I know someone who is always buying herbs and elixirs.....*cough*

    Got a snowy owl off the first one. VERY happy with this as my character has been studying the avian species of Achaea for decades.

    Question about mini-pets: Can players kill them, and if so, do they reset automatically or do I need to get a collar of Lupus before safely placing them down?

    Will the bridles be usable after this event is over? Or does "limited time" mean that the actual capture-able mounts will be gone later?

    Good question! Normally I would assume this is in regards to the artefact itself being offered, but maybe for both.


  • TectonTecton The Garden of the Gods
    The current plan is to wrap the horses up at the end of the month when the promotion ends, so you'll want to use your bridles before then!
