Crested Waterskin
Word has been lately that many people are unsatisfied with the Crested Waterskin (this year's Logosmas Gift from the Ho Ho Ho Society).
I like the idea of the Waterskin, to be honest, and I think adding more brews would make the item more appealing. So I'd like to open up this thread on effects you WISH the Waterskin could do. I'll start with some of my own:
A Crested Waterskin:
Fills up randomly each month with a random brew.
Deception brew - random chameleon effect (current default).
********************************************
Proposed:
Murky brew - shroud effect (wears off as normal)
Aerial brew - takes drinker into the skies (one time use fly effect)
Protection brew - 5% damage reduction (stackable) that lasts for fifteen minutes
Iridescent brew - prismatic barrier (one time use, fades as usual with actions)
********************************************
What effects do you think would make the Waterskin more appealing/valuable?

Lighten up, folks.
I don't have the item and I don't really care too much about it, but I just feel a need to reply to this post:
Basically, getting something for free doesn't mean we have to be grateful. It would be better to give no item at all, than to promise some sort of secret reward and giving an item that has a very limited function. Because people get their expectations up when they're told they can get a promotional item if they just do this quest that many times: wheter those expectations are realistic or not depends a lot on previous promotions/events/giveaways. There's only so many times you can be given items for free before the charity starts losing its apeal and specialness (is that even a word?). This is true for all IRE promotions. At this point it feels like IRE has gotten ADD or something: every month, something shinier and sparklier is meant to attract the playerbase so that we either log in and idle every day or spend even more money because this month's promotion is the best ever and oh-my-god what if I don't get the chance to benefit from it?
Take this criticism with a grain of salt. I think the monthly promotions are a great idea, and they help out new players get credits for their skills. I just think it'd be even better if they did something unique for the setting of each of the separate games. Perhaps, for the month of january, a band of bandits roam the outskirts of Delos, attacking the village every so often, and at the end of the month there is a conclusion of some sort. Or perhaps an order of holy Knights declares a crusade on Mhaldor, setting up an encampment at the edge of the red fog. Just small things that are not in an epic scale, that has set duration for how long they last, and just add atmosphere and life to the game. I'd take this over one extra credit every day I log in over a month in a heartbeat.

Think Nightmare Before Christmas: Open up a box, and HOLYJESUSCHRISTONASTICK A DUCK ON WHEELS WITH POINTY TEETH IS CHASING ME!
Things like that seem pretty Mhaldorian to me!
That love soon might end You are unbreaking
And be known in its aching Though quaking
Shown in this shaking Though crazy
Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
... god, I am full of movie references tonight.
Anyway, I think you guys could spin it. A waterskin seems pretty neutral to me - I can't think of any faction it favours, save maybe serpent Houses.

I still feel like giving presents to orphans just doesn't add up. Tampering with presents is fairly low-grade mischief. I could see, ICly, doing it once or twice or even three times for amusement's sake, but 21 times?
As for the waterskin, I like it. I like it much more than last year's flagon, which I do have and would gladly trade for it.

We're just supposed to be on the 'Torturing innocents in ways unimaginable' scale at this point, not 'Sometimes I ruin Christmas for orphans teehee'.

Wait a minute derail.
You have emoted: Jiraishin opens the present and replaces its contents with a knife. Or a viper. Or like, a concussion bomb.
