Vault Of Piety Rewards are kinda dated

Thought it was worth mentioning

If they add anything there I would imagine it being a new currency we would get for the coins...at least in the one case. One that could be used for new stuff and old stuff. The old coins still used for old stuff only. That way it gets new stuff and those of us who are still saving up can't automatically buy the new stuff. I have been expecting something like this since the one year anniversary. Maybe it could be something to save up and get the gear from Mod 3...lol

A few things off the top of my head that I'd like to see are:

• Celestial Coins:
  • Campaign Treasures updated to include choices for Gauntlegrym, Icewind Dale, and Tyranny of Dragons. Then, a month after each Module release, update it again to include that Module if applicable.
  • An "Events Treasures" (costing 2 coins per 1 day's worth, depending on event length & rewards) box added during any currency-related event that functions similar to the Campaign Treasures, adding a box to open that would reward the player with currency appropriate to the current Event.
• Ardent Favor:
  • More dyes in the same price range as the current ones.

I'd go further, hijacking* the topic for the ardent favor rewards. The original rewards were created for a different game that we have today. they were supposed to reward a player to "stay" in the game for a long period of time and some of then were expected (by the devs) to be an awesome reward that is no longer applicable.

My suggestions:
1. Transmute weapons that would indicate how old a character is. This could be and ongoing addition to the rewards table for every 60 days or so.
2. Replace the blue weapons for a purple one that levels with you. since this is supposed to be a helping hand from your deity, it would make perfect sense to have a weapon that levels with you for those that play very casually or love to have alts.
3. Titles to display how old your character is.
4. Update the rewards table to add more 370 days (5 missing for the 1st year and 365 for the second year of gameplay); Faerun has a different calendar so that would explain having the 360 days per year although I'd make it Gregorian to make it easy for players.
The below items would be advisable rewards for more than 360 days of praying.
5. Add one (or more) artifact(s) to that table (Gond's maybe?) make it Bind on Acquire to be a reward to your character's prayers and not a form of profit.
6. Add a purple mount to the table. Make it look cool.
7. Add Sergeant Knox companion to that table and make it Bind on Acquire to be a reward to your character's prayers and not a form of profit. It was a good event to remove the floating AD from exploiters and now it's a good chance to reward long time players loyal to the game the legit way.

Great feedback! I personally agree with all of these, save for #4:

4. Update the rewards table to add more 370 days (5 missing for the 1st year and 365 for the second year of gameplay); Faerun has a different calendar so that would explain having the 360 days per year although I'd make it Gregorian to make it easy for players.

The Realms have 365 days in a normal year and every fourth year, there is a leap year for 366 days in that leap year.

In the Harptos Calendar, there are exactly 365 days in a Year consisting of 12 Months and each Month has exactly 30 days. There are three Weeks in every Month and one Week is exactly ten Days long in the Realms. There are five days that fall in between certain Months and additional sixth Day that occurs once every four Years. The Harptos Calendar is the most widely used calendar system through out the North of Faerûn. It is named after its inventor, a long-dead wizard by the name of "Harptos of Kaalinth."

You can read more on the Harptos, and other Calendars, as well as other "timey-wimey, wibbly wobbly" stuff in my tome here, the Grimoire of Time.

A small amount of GG Coins and Glory Tokens. Boosters wouldn't be a bad idea either in their stead.

Very nice list. My only objection is with no7. Knox is a companion already. It doesn't have to lose it's exclusivity. There are more prominent residents/allies worthy of becoming a companion: Celeste, Makos, Zoey Fargo, Doomguide Vollahk, Windle, Quorthon, Xuna and Shil Yargo just to name a few.

WOW! I really like this idea! they would include each of the storyline companions as rewards on the Ardent coin table. As for Sergeant Knox, I'm one of the frustrated companion collectors that would/could not spend the high amount of AD in the Rix event and they have already given "exclusive" companion mounts in future promotions (e.g. armored bear, quickling, faithful initiate)

I would really prefer GG coins and glory tokens to be restricted to a PVP activity.

I think if that were the case, we should then start exploring giving out TOD currencies (such as cult secrets etc) in PVP, open world, and GG PVP matches.

I don't really see the need to add GG in this since it's not really a campaign but an event returning every 3 hours. Plenty of opportunities to get in and progress towards PvP gear. That said, I'm not against it per se. What did you have in mind? GG coins? Glory tokens/boosters?

^This. Exclusivity should mean exclusivity if that is what's expected. I feel bad for those that ever paid over the odds for mystic inferno stuff. This game completely destroys exclusivity that some people care a lot about. One person bought the knox companion for 30m AD. It'd be a kick in the balls to add it to the ardent store. The same applies to the gond artifact.

I'd say add a purple weapon as a 200 coin reward, leave the blue one as a 150 day reward, and maybe add a 75 day reward which is the blue weapon but as a level 1 free appearance transmute.

I'd like to see a different version of the deity cloak also added (free transmute).

We have the 360 day purple angel companion - how about a green and blue companion somewhere else in the line - like maybe a green cleric at 90 days and a blue paladin at 180 days.

Maybe allow us to exchange Ardent coins for Celestial ones as well, or offer something akin to the campaign and 7-day chests.

I really like those suggestions.
Plus the Scourge Warlock doesn't have a weapon transmog in the vault, so they could add one too.
