    Any game that gets me screaming "Come on Piggy" is filled with win as far as Im concered the harding mini game is one of the most fun things I have done in a mmo festival put up there with Lotros drunk maze runs awesome good job every one involed. Also like the nod to City of Heros Kill Skulls joke Kill Trolls awesome made me chuckle well done.

    The best part about the event is that flowers are a currency, and people are willing to stab their own grandmother for a few petals. The chat is in good spirits about the whole thing.

    Also relatively easy to get the Pig and Armored Boar mount. Guess PWE will make money if people upgrade them to Rank 2 or 3.

    Can you get both mounts? I see the total cost for both is 25 tokens. The game says the event will only be active for 20 days total. Can we get more than one token per day?

    I really, really like this event. Just a few weeks ag I was a bit dissatisfied about the lack of things to do for solo PvE players, but now, with this event and six daily quests in Sharandar, I have all I need to keep me busy.

    Now as for the event rewards - I already made the headgear&pants for my female cleric - will get the garb and pig companion too (I collect companions - even have the recent [Mercenary] from the Polish magazine), so this is just what I wanted for that character.

    As for the mounts - I am going to get the armored boar for my male GF dwarf - exactly what I wanted - I may even increase it to blue or even purple level eventually.

    I am not happy about everything Cryptic/PWE does (and still pissed about how they handled the "lucky player" fiasco), but they did this event really well.....good job - appreciate it.
    Hoping for improvements...

    Yes.... buy them from the trade bar vendor.

    To all who want to craft a permanent top, make a temporary one and transmute your peasant tunic. You'll get the appearance without the transience. The cost is also greatly reduced from normal item transmutes.

    Wait, you can make the pants and hat. But not a permanent top? I just assumed i was not getting lucky on the rare tasks. If if cant make it at all, that would be disappointing

    I am not sure why there are "rare" tasks, since you will eventually see that it just loads the same ones over and over again.

    Transmuting the peasant tunic was the workaround from the preview shard. It only cost a few hundred ADs to do as well.

    Note that you can't buy the pants and hat from the merchant either and have to craft them (or buy on AH from someone who did).

    Guys, i have just saw the guy on the pink pig mount (it costs 15 favor of sune). The question is, HOW? It's only 2 days since event started. Is there any other way to get favor of sune then daily quest, that gives you 1 favor of sune per day?

    I think he bought it with Talmarune (sp) bars.

    Yes, you can buy the tokens with Tarmalune trade bars, which come from opening lockboxes. It was the same with the Lliira event daily tokens.

    In this case, they are "winning" a slow cosmetic mount that other players are complaining about how it's just not good enough to ever consider actually using, even for free. The mounts are BoP, so there is no profit here.

    Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

    You can do that quest more than once a day. For me it was something like 9-10 hours between ability to repeat it. It's not a "once a day" thing. More like twice.

    But the pig is cute/funny! ... Sure, it won't ever be my "main" ride, but it's adorable. Not everyone cares about 110% speed all the time. And one can upgrade it to at least a blue mount with AD (I hope). Which is what I'm going to do. Someday in the far (far) future...

    Edit: it's funny because the festival originally didn't sound that interesting to me but as I've played it I find I kind of like it, in small bursts. Altho the petal gathering grind is a chore, but with 20 days, it's not a big deal I suppose. I just do it at 2am and not many people around. :D

    Hey, I agree with you. I just think it's amusing in a sad way that someone is grousing about somebody else gaining faster access to an item exists solely to be cute and funny.

    Yeah...I don't see what the issue is in that regard either. It's not like it's a ton of work for just the mount itself, either. Log in twice a day, do that one quest for the token.

    for me, free stuff is always good. I'd spend probably around 30 mins a day for it to get a free mount but I probably won't lose sleep over it. the event reminds me of many other events in other MMOs I've played so...meh...

    I don't much like it, I spent ages trying to get my teifling away from wearing pants, and into a proper flowing skirt, and I'm damned if I'm going back to it..

    The flower weapons are great if you're playing a female character.

    However that's not really my style. I think everything looks great and I do like the event. Just not my cup of tea. :D

    The outfit design is ok, but I'm not into floral prints. And yeah...the pants under kilt/skirt or whatever thing is a bit annoying.

    ...few more things to do then I can get back to farming petals...

    Could anyone tell me what the cost is to transmute the fashion top to look like the temp event top, at level 60?

    Also, is the 8 hrs timer on the temp pieces just to actively wear them? Like, can I wear the piece for a few minutes to see what it looks like, then unequip them and keep them in storage indefintiely?

    Thank you.
