And I love too Be still, my indelible friend 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
My (18) giftbags came with the following, though they were all split between me and another:
10 cerulean lifestones
9 Lucrescent nuts
5 balls of seftonium
8 shrouds
4 heron feathers
2 aromatic velvet pouches
13 small clay chips
2 permanent ink
5 featureless ice figurines
2 artefact discount voucher (25cr each)
1 petite glass display case
> a majestic figurine of Ashaxei
Nothing of note. The figurines are nice, they'll get used... but... in a purchase of 1500 credits I was definitely meh about it.
But hey, if anyone wants to buy the lifestones, Lucrescent nuts, seftonium, heron feathers, or Ashaxei battle figurine let me know in game. (Shrouds already sold)

This kind of return is one of the reason the giftbags don't appeal to me
Yeah, thanks for posting that Nataliia. Definitely solidified my decision to not buy credits this month. I really, really dislike these gambling promos. They are just as bad as "freemium" apps and really take advantage of people's addiction to Achaea and gambling.
The difference is, @Kiet, I got 2 veils from FREE spins... versus ^that from a 1500cr purchase? I mean... c'mon.
The edit is to say: I *do* understand everything that comes out of giftbags is "free", being that giftbags are additional on top of the credits you're purchasing. But really at that point I'd rather just do the outright giftbag promo where you can buy giftbags without spending $450 on credits. I feel like the giftbag promo where you can just get the bags had a better return. And again, what I posted that I got? That's exactly why I think Achaea should add in a system like Lusternia has, so that after so many flake bags you have a better chance of getting a superior one.

I think I bought around.. 100 tokens, best drops were: 1 belt, 1 sash.
We've just tweaked out golden giftbag promotions to incorporate a concept known as "bad luck mitigation" which, in basic terms, will prevent a string of bad luck when attempting to upgrade the giftbags. If you fail to upgrade a gift bag, you'll receive a bonus to your next upgrade chance. This effect stacks, so say that you're unlucky on two bags in a row, you'll receive double the bonus on your next bag.
What was wrong with those bag results? Trading the chips and permanent inks in is alone ~400 credits. Add 50 CR for Artie vouchers since I assume you wouldn't buy 1500 CR with no intent to ever buy arties. That's a 30% credit bonus promo right there, plus all of the other random things you got, many of which are quite good and can be sold for more credits.
@Xinna I have literally zero interest for the nuts, lifestones, and seftonium. I already have wings, so the feathers are useless. Those items are also not selling. The shrouds sold (thanks @Trey) so that got a bit more of a return. The arte upgrade vouchers are confusing since, out of the last promos they were worth 40 I believe (I could be wrong, I'm pretty tired at the moment).
I didn't trade ink the inks. I used them. I'm also using the figurines. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with them, but I feel like I shouldn't have to justify feeling "meh" about that? Not to mention I did note that I realize the giftbags are a "free" return beyond the purchase of credits. But I had way more luck with giftbags when the promo was to just buy packs of giftbags, than I did with these ones.
And honestly, if I'm already buying credits, why would I want more credits? The chips are 20cr a piece. I'd rather have surcoats. That's just personal preference.

completely different promo. those were for upgradeable giftbags

@Cooper... Wasn't the promo last month like 30% bonus credits? The gambling (spins)is just a bonus revenue generator... Anything from these bags would in theory be a bonus right? Unless you consider that there is a 30% bonus every few months.... If I'd have had the money I'd have purchased another 30k lessons when that promo was active..
I agree... I bought a bunch of those globes... But I knew what I was getting myself into. If I'd known multiclass or whatever was coming out.maybe not? I dunno. I want new class.
Are these not golden giftbags? My bad. The other thread gave the impression that they are.
The gift bags you get directly for buying credits aren't. They have a chance of having a golden giftbag inside as one of the prizes, which confused some people. If you get the golden giftbag within your giftbag, it's like the ones from the older promo.

I envy you too much right now.
Edit: Bought more than I thought
That seems like good results as far as promos go.
