Protector's Figurines
Binds on Pickup
Pewter figures made to commemorate Eliminster's visit and the rebuilding of Neverwinter. Protector's Figurines are used in the Commemorative Store and can be obtained by completing the Daily Quests in the Protector's Jubileee or purchasing a bag of Protector's Figurines from the Zen Market.
-Last time you did the daily
-Did you get a figurine?
-If yes, how many
-If no, what time did you last complete a daily task?
Thanks!
Wait, are you saying these "Dailies" are supposed to reset on a 24hr timer, not "at 3am, like everything else in the game"?
(Because that would explain the behaviour I'm seeing. It's just not how *anything* else works.)
So... why should we get the quest itself if it will not drop the reward it suppose to drop?
it's in the event description from Elmister at Protectors Enclave.
The logic thing to happen is you cannot accept this quest before this 24 hours reset, so what will be the point to run it?
We relayed all of this last year, and it's annoying that it was disregarded.

I believe they are supposed to drop from subsequent Protector's Bounty packs but after opening more than 50 on one character, I have only ever had one appear with the first one opened. A full detailed explanation of how Figurines can be obtained really needs to be posted so that players know whether it worth continuing with the event.
So what happens is that the quest to get the Figurine resets, you take it, you do it, and then you have to avoid collecting the reward until a separate and unrelated and INVISIBLE timer ticks down? If you do the available Daily, which has reset, too early, you lose the Daily rewards?
-Last time you did the daily
Tuesday (between 18 and 20 hours) and Wednesday (between 16 and 20 hours) with different characters.
-Did you get a figurine?
-If yes, how many
-If no, what time did you last complete a daily task?

The daily task does not give any figurine.
Hence, all my toon has 2 figurines (2 days x 1 from the pack of daily tasks (or drop)).
I have not received any figurine drop.
In my opinion, and this has been a repeated complaint of mine since the dawn of the game, any seasonal/holiday events should last for a few weeks at least, if not more, allowing for players to gain the highest reward within the first couple of weeks to account for player availability and of course RNG. 7 days is just too short for any main event in the game.

Now you basically have to pick a character, farm escorting the merchant, and pray, if you want Figurines. You rack up thousands upon thousands of Reknown and can't even use it to buy the big-ticket items like mounts or thrones for your alts, since everything is BtC and not BtA. Meanwhile, you may not get enough Figurines to even buy the new unicorn. I'm thankful the Garden Key is no longer useful to me.
It would also be remiss of me to not mention that the currency from this event is one of the few that still decays ("fame is fleeting", they say) and can't be saved from event to event in order to eventually buy something. You must use it or lose it.

As it stands we can now get 8 (or less if you can't play once every 24 hours exactly) figurines which means we can't even get most of the stuff from the jubilee store without paying zen for more figurines. Not Cool.
We are searching for slave labor, will pay with food from our farm!
This year, though, the extreme lack of figurines and a mount that is heavily advertised with what appeared to be a high, but still achievable amount of those figurines before the event is really shocking. Now, I have given the devs the benefit of a doubt and have agreed with many recent changes to make it easier on the players, so I can see the oversight here was the new dev team not knowing about how big the changes in the most recent code (last year's event) affected things and simply put the Unicorn into the 2nd highest tier, so hopefully they will see that they do have to do something about the drop rate/cooldown here.
I've been moderately happy with the recent changes made to make the grind less in general, so this really does hit harder because it makes the new items impossible to get without the cash shop, even for those who could try to grind for them. That takes away from the game's greatest strength as being new player/casual gamer friendly. I do think moving back to a point where grinding is still rewarded, but lessened so that it can be alt-friendly again would really help. As it is, I haven't been able to really level up and support an alt because I'm still slowly grinding away to get my main to a respectable place where I can run those higher level dungeons without wiping after two years. I was kind of hoping to try for the mount on both of my characters, but instead, I face not even getting it on my main without spending cash when in the past I was able to grind both if I had the time and would have spent the money for those figurines if I ran short on time to get enough for my alt after I got it for my main. Now, I'm simply hoping to get it for my main and may consider buying a pack of figurines, but not even trying for my alt now. THat's truly discouraging.
No
about five minutes before posting this post - Call it 7 pm
Note: Am I going to be wasting my time trying to complete this quest on all five of my characters, each day or is this something that will be detected when the fix goes through and I should continue to pursue the empty rewards?
Because that's a lot of time spent for half the potential rewards.
[Edit] I just did this again (10 pm) on a different character and still no Figurine.
[Bonus Edit] I'm also having broken quests on my Hunter Ranger - the Protector's quests aren't showing up and I've been unable to complete the quests for him.
No Reward for Vixaz.
-Last time you did the daily: June 23 @8:00PM (A little earlier than that actually, but I don't know exact time)
-Did you get a figurine? NO
-If yes, how many: N/A - We didn't get one
-If no, what time did you last complete a daily task? Yesterday (June 22)
Edit: I also tested a couple of times in between these two times, and did not receive any figurines.
While I understand the 24 hour timer was meant to give us a guarantee of getting one per day, that is not what is happening due to it not being player friendly in terms of player availability. The timer should have been set as a hard timer to reset at the same time each day, especially given the low drop rate of the figurine as well as the figurine being removed from the chest reward uptop in the garden. Better yet, there really was no need to implement a figurine drop timer at all, for the 1 guaranteed figurine should have just been left in that chest in the garden.

Putting the toys in the final chest was what they did before, wasn't it? It sure made sense to me, as you were supposed to do ALL the Dailies before you could collect... not just collect a box and be done with it.
