Goblin torso
Canopic Lid
Grimoire Binding
Circlet ???
Spigot ???
Keyring tiger


It was pretty 'eh', but got some people to buy it all off of me.

Note you can TALISMAN REDEEM <piece> if you don't want them - by my math you actually got a crazy good set if that was 500 cr (just going off the number of pieces). Good bit over a 100% sale, going by credit worth.

Frederich

@Makarios

Yeah.  But I turned it into unbound credits through the magic of selling it to people, haha.  I was glad I got what I did, because comparing to Zulah's I'm just... feelin really glad I'm lucky.

PS: Daeir I'll buy it if Jhui hasn't already hook-line-sinker'd ya.

@Makarios since you are commenting on talisman rates -

500cr purchase
3x signet ring bits
2x keyring bits
1x goblin bit

-both cries and dies a bit-

Zulah

Seragorn tells you, "You should fire off an email.. there really should be some sort of modifier in there to force a major piece for every X credits invested, like 500 or so."

QFT @Makarios this is something you should consider. I was planning a bulk purchase on this promotion but I'm a bit worried after my 1500cr pull having nothing of value. Not saying I won't still do it. Because I'm a glutton. But not nearly as excited to see what I get as I was before, more dread than hope.

Seragorn

I get that there should be some randomness about this sort of promotion, and some people are going to get lucky and find a great reward for their smaller investment.  But I feel like that's a little discouraging for the people who are sinking bigger amounts in to get a whole heap of average/bad pieces, and its not really going to lead to future investment, where having some sort of guarantee that for every 500 credits invested you will get at least one piece from the 1k+ artie range would be a lot more motivating.. and not that over the top, given a 1k artifact piece is only a 125 credit redeem still, its not going to guarantee an over the top reward.

Just my thoughts, I was considering dropping some cash into this one if I happen to dig any up over the next few weeks, but a little less motivated by these results.

Halstad

I haven't kept exact track of the pieces I've gotten, but let's just say that I've bought... a lot of credits since the start of the promotion and I'm still short some pieces. Seems to be the same pieces that many others are missing, so they must have an insanely small drop rate or RNG-Jesus hates me (he does - better go Occie for great success).

Aegoth

HALSTAD!! Give me your pieces!!!

Nicola

@Seragorn interesting idea. We'll see about looking into this.

Hey, I've been spamming market for a week and had an ad up before. I think it expired, though. Still at work for a number of hours, but I'll probably repost tonight or you can PM me with what you're looking for. 

If it's mantle or apperception stone pieces I can't help, though - that's what I'm trying to get my grubby hands on.

From : Makarios, the Meticulous

To : Everyone

Subject: Adjustment to the current promotion

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After some feedback, we've decided to make a minor (but no doubt welcome!) adjustment to the promotion. Each bonus piece you're awarded (these happen every 500 credits) is now guaranteed to be from one of the artefacts in the upper tear of worth. This list includes:

- Vakha's bribe (a circlet of determination)

- pedigree's jewel (a gem of transmutation)

- A canopic jar (stores your defences for later)

- An apperception stone (look into a room from anywhere)

- An experimenter's grimoire (grimoire of hasty adaptation)

- Revelation's guise (a deathmask + retributive strike)

- Suremekh'neina (level 3 health and mana regen)

 

If you've made a purchase of over 500 credits and think you'd like to exchange the piece you got as your bonus item, contact me via messages or email. I'll look into your specific situation and verify which your bonus piece was, and we can discuss whether you'd like to keep it or take another roll of the dice. This naturally only applies to pieces purchased before the time of this post!

finality	43	28%
goblin	14	9%
grimoire	3	2%
guise	2	1%
jar	1	1%
jewel	1	1%
keyring	21	14%

vakha	6	4%
Grand Total	155	100%

My birthdays on Halloween, anyone wanna give me a guise, Suremekh'neina , or canopic? Lol, I tease. This stuff seems pretty cool though

Yen

Of all the useless information cluttering up my brain, the proper spelling of "suremekh'neina" has to be at the top of the list.  I blame @Makarios.

So I've bought a fair amount of credits, and I'd be interested in rolling the dice again for better pieces, but I've also been selling pieces throughout the course of the month just assuming that what I got was the best I was going to get. What exactly are my options if I happen to have sold the (crap) talisman piece I got as a bonus one? Can I buy a reroll for the redeem (or full) value of whatever that piece was?
