Celestial Coin grace period?

Are we going to get a grace period for our celestial coins? It's not very fair to have a decaying currency (which I have been saving up for a few days now) rot because we can't log in.

I can see getting the Protector Angel, kinda troublesome

The ones that decay only store up to 7 for the best prize and 5 for the second-best prize.
(I do keep getting celestial and ardent mixed up though)
I do agree though, I hope I don't lose my coins (up to 4 this morning) due to server outages.

Ambisinisterr stated in another thread that the the reset timer was 29 hours. I'd have to go looking for it as, at the moment, I can't remember the title. I don't know if that's from the time of the first invocation or the last invocation.
And, it is, indeed, the Celestial coins (which have an upper limit of seven coins for an item) that decay, NOT the Ardent coins which are used for much "bigger ticket" items.

The Ardent coinage, which allows a maximum of 7 coins, will decay (set to zero coins) after 1 day 5 hours. You definitely get this only once per day. The "best" thing to purchase from this coinage is the professions pack (once per week, at 7 coins/week).
While I agree with your assessment of the best item to purchase, you have confused Ardent and Celestial coins. It is Celestial coins that decay and Ardent coins that continue to accumulate ad infinitum until spent.
Also, the professions pack is five coins. I do not recall what the seven coin package contains but, to the best of my recollection, it is more cosmetic items ... dyes, etc, maybe

Its a good choice if your not gonna craft .
The Ardent Coins do not have a cap and are permanent as in they do not decay with time. The Celestial Coins have a 30 hour decay timer that rests every time you invoke and have a cap of a total of 7 coins. (Secret for quick invoke is to log out at a fire.)
The Ardent coins can buy good gear, mounts, companions (the angel), ect. Look them all over and figure out exactly what you want to buy and when, they play for that many days. The angle will take 360 days for the first person to get it (Currently).
The Celestial coins can buy pots, profession resource packs and at the 7 coin level an enchantment/ rune pack. The Celestial coins are there as a bonus and to give you something to buy while you earn the Ardent coins; the real limited currency in Neverwinter.
There is something to be bought with Celestial coins at every level 1/2/3/4/5/7 with the exception of 6 coins. This is the only issue i currently see with the Celestial coins. The issue with the Ardent coins is how much some of the things cost. The weapons specifically are an issue as 6 months into the game only the most casual player will not have an epic weapon from the dungeons, which are better than the coin weapons, and if they are so casual as to never get a dungeon weapon either from running the dungeon or eventually getting one from the AH (Not BoP) then it is unlikely that they have also logged in enough to buy one.
Unless something has changed with the new patch there's only stuff available at 1, 3, 5 & 7. There used to be stuff for 2 & 4, but not after they changed the rewards (7 used to be an Astral Diamond chest).
Drat. With all the coinage/bars/tokens/seals/bits, it's hard to keep track of the names.
I only saw three options. 1, 3, 5. I quite enjoyed the chest of AD, it was nice - 40K, I believe. Not raw. I hope to see it again.
Logging in daily to collect the daily coin is a privilege, not a right. The only thing you miss by not logging in every day is the 7-day reward which is a box of enchantments, or the 5-day reward which is a box of crafting mats, both of which you can earn though many other methods in-game anyway. they are nice but they are not exclusive!
There are some very nice rewards for the other coins (up to 360!), but those coins don't vanish if you don't login for a day.
Ahhh, thank you, labbb. I really couldn't remember what the seven coin pack contained. What I remembered, given that I'm crafting, was that the five coin crafting package was more appealing and/or useful to me, at this time.

Hmmm, about the timing/timer ... that's interesting ... thanks, wingedkagouti!
Lottie
Hmmm, I don't blame you a bit. I didn't see it, but I wish I had and wish I would. Not, however, that I'm expecting it to reappear. Or, in other words, I'm not holding my breath!
