Ardent and Celestial Coins?

Ok so I've invoked 5 times today an only received 1 ardent and 1 celestial coin and that was on the first time. So is there some kind of percent chance to get them? The tutorial lady states "a limited number of coins can be earned each day". Or is the system bugged?

The game is still in beta , so it must be bugged lol.
There is a chance of items being earned, so it appears you've been unlucky

We got to login for 360 friggin' days! Before we can finally get it?
Seeing as this is so far the ONLY T3 healer Companion available. This gotta be a joke right?
But I Guess they will put up in the Zen store soon for 40 bucks ofcourse! /facepalm
(Repeating what I was told, so don't flame me if that's wrong)
That's only Celestrial coins. The ardent coins are permanent. But it's still an issue, seeing the T3 healer Companion is 360 ardent coins.
I seriously hope it's a bug and they meant it to be 36 ardent coins or something. That would mean that the average person, who doesn't play every day can get it in a month or two. Which would be more reasonable.
It's wrong. Ardent Coins aren't lost that way. Only Celestial Coins are.
I hate to burst your bubble but why would it be a bug at 360 Coins. This is a very common "carrot on a stick" tactics, nothing new. The game is just launching so of course they want to give some people a reason to log in every day for a year.
Do I think 360 coins is a bit much? Yes. I think it could even be 250 and it wouldn't seem nearly as bad as looking forward to getting the Angel companion on April 20th next year. But at this point, it is what it is.
No it's <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> and unfair, especially since playing a Guardian class... this is THE Companion to go for!
Other classes who need a T3 tank or T3 DPS Companion, can get it via other means a hell lot quicker.
The Whole Balance between the various Companions is just way off!
Sorry, but even the most hardcore players won't be able to login every single day for 360 days in a row.
For an average person (like me) who might be able to pull off 180 to 200 days a year, this would mean an almost 2 year wait until you can buy this T3 healer Companion.
This is not a carrot on a stick.... this is just litterly pushing the Cash Shop through Our throats... as I have no doubt they will put this Companion on the Zen store soon at a PREMIUM price!
If this is how Cryptic is going to play it.... then I am instantly done With this game. And I am pretty sure I will not be the only one feeling this way.
The manuals are not available yet. And when they do. At what cost?
If the Mount Upgrade manuals are any indication, then you are facing a whopping 3,5 to 4 million AD Investment to get a T1 Companion upgraded to T3 ! That is a hell lot of AD.
The time it requires to gain THAT much AD ... it will practically just force the average player to the Zen Store and just fork out the 40 dollars cash.
Which is just unfair, seeing how other type of T3 Companions are much easier obtainable via different currencies ingame!
One thing to remember though, at this point, we really don't know how much easier it will be to get the AD. Some things you may find will be wanted on the AH, and that could make it quite easy, or at least easier.
...lol, just kidding.
Inventory tab where it shows your currency, there is a button you can click to spend any of them, it will open a new window.
thanks kindly, I spend all my game time running around doing stuff and never even checked all the buttons yet lol. I appreciate it, I'll have a look.
You can also do it by clicking the symbol next to the invoke timer. Above the number of celestial coins you have.
I'm going to second (most of) this. I have the same number of ardent coins as I do Celestial coins as well (because I haven't missed a day yet).
That being said, I also remember reading in game that you only get Celestial Coins the first time you invoke for the day. As for Ardent coins, however, I vaguely remember it hinting at these being more easily obtainable.
My memory fails me as to where I read this or how it was worded exactly, but it's logical to me that Ardent coins would be rewarded the first time you invoke and perhaps have a very small percentage of being rewarded on following invocations for the day. Why, at least, would it go through all the trouble of explaining that Celestial coins can only be rewarded once a day, but not Ardent coins?
Really though, until one of us gets two ardent coins in one day, it's all hearsay.
Hovering over the Ardent Coins, the description simply states you need to invoke at an altar, or a resting area. No further description is available. This is why it's safe to assume this is a big F_ck Up, on either PWE's, part, or Cryptic's part. It's hard to believe that you actually need to spend 360 days just to gain one companion, in which by the time you end up getting then, PWE's screwed up cash shop will have something 10x better, and probably double the max rank (60), by the time even one person spends every single day, playing just over a full years worth of gameplay. (at least once a day).
Either way, I don't care a whole lot, I would simply love a chance to see what it actually looks like, as it does the exact same thing as the normal Cleric Companion does, with one additive skill (big whoop).
Give it a month, and you'll be able to purchase Ardent Coins from the cash shop... Only $1 a piece! The sad part is... People like me would actually spend $360 just to get the companion... (hint hint PWE....).
