Question about festival clothes.

First off sorry if I didn't see an answer to this question somewhere else. Anyone know if the devs have said whether the transmute of temp garbs will stay after the event. I didn't think this was a problem at the time because we technically lose the other garb we changed the appearance to. Where if you get the blue you don't have to sacrifice a thing. Kinda not cool if this was just a bad on them for letting it through to begin with. Honestly after the nightmare lock box fiasco this shouldn't even be an issue. I already spent zen/ad to dye the items.

I still have my temp waterskin. I have had it since the first day, and i play 12+hrs a day.
The timer is gone, also.
I'm pretty sure it is unintended since it effects all BoP fashion which includes pieces that they likely don't want people getting without paying them cash.
Thanks
Yes you will
Seriously, I made one version of the 2 garbs and then moved on... There is nothing worth in the summer festival... nothing... Herding Pigs/Chicken and killing trolls is fun a few times, then get boring...
In particular, if you are not an AoE class good luck ranking at the top in the Killing Trolls event... As a 16k GF with stone and 3 full T2 sets with rank 7 minimum everywhere, the best I could do was 3rd (since I have only 1 AoE and it doesn't match up against CW and DC)...
In other words, forget about it... it is boring the way it is designed.
Exactly, now...I want (and already got) the pig companion. I want the Sunite garb (yeah, yeah, I know about the transmute, but if I did that I would feel annoyed whenever I looked at my inventory, so I want the "real" thing), and I want that water thingie...
Now, what I do (after finishing the daily) is just to constantly pick flowers, but during the special events, I go and herd one chicken or kill one troll - and then return to flower picking. This will give me 15 petals with minimal effort - spending 10 minutes to get 30 petals is just not worth the effort.
Ive not tried it personally because it feels dishonest to get an item free that others have to grind for
The the prizes do seem to be propotionally low and you get an achievement for participating 10 times
in each evet or 120 flowers.
I personally would have made a special badge for doing something special like
herding the golden chicken
Killing the Big trolls smorg and geena
and killing one of every type of kobold
often doing these things actually cuts your efficiency
unless you really know where the gold chicken spawns
you can often get in 30 points of pigs in the time it takes to find her.
and unless you have a big party the trolls take longer to kill than
triple their full point value in lesser trolls.
btw I have placed silver and gold in troll event with non aoe classes.
thank you very much. its just a matter of knowing your class.
being in a relative empty zone helps too.
15 is for bronze, 30 is silver, you get 45 for gold. So it is worth it going for gold. 90 petals for two 12 minute events is pretty good.
And now that the initial rush has died. Its not hard to jump to a low populated instance and clean up on the events.
Indeed, know that if you lack AoE, go to an empty zone. :P
The Seeker - 60 DC (11.5k GS)
Faithless - 60 CW (10k GS)
Well, I can sometimes do that for the trolls, yes - in particular with my GF - harder with my DC ... however, it is harder in case of the herding, because of the golden chicken luck factor...If you don't get the golden chicken, you are probably not going to end up #1.
Villain's Menace, Terrifying Impact, Lunging Strike, Frontline Surge, Enforced Threat. Oh, and Cleave. How do you only have one AoE again? That's the loadout I use on my GF and Lunging Strike is the only ability on that list that *isn't* an AoE. You can make first as a GF *if* you can nab packs first and get hits in. Sometimes, you're right, it's not possible, if there are CWs camping every spawn, but if there's any gap whatsoever it's doable even in a moderately busy instance.
May all the little piggies that died in vain be on your conscience.
BTW Smoggy, love the sig Eric was always my favorite.
Villain's Menace daily/Terrifying Impact = daily
Lunging strike 1 target, frontline surge 1 target/debuff 3
Enforced Threat (only true AoE)
cleave ? Really,, that's what you call AoE?
What I do is time my power (like Lunging Strike) and hit when the troll is almost done.
CW do that and they get 5 kills at once...
After 2 runs, that's boring anyway...

Yes, the temp items are BoP but the Peasant's Tunic are not. So you can transmute, sell AND trade them.
Now it is obvious that no one on their right mind would transmute the pants or the headwear, we are talking about the garb here.
And the garb requires quite some farming to get.
But hey, you can just transmute your 5k peasants tunic on a temp garb, and it will become a PERMANENT Sunite garb with no effort, to use or give it away as you please.
Another fun fact:
The pig and the garb are going for almost the same price on the AH, but the pig requires a LOT more petals to get. Not to mention you can transmute the garb and get the skin for 0 petals.
Anyone guessing why?
It's odd how the rewards for contest placement work, though. I got Silver in a contest in an instance with ~6 people, and ended up getting a single cloth & thread, plus a couple vegetables. Killed just two trolls in the last minute of a contest in a crowded zone? Copper rank, 4x filigree & dye plus a pile o' veggies.
Seriously? As a 15K GF I am first almost everytime I go out there. I have 4 AOE abilities. I tab pull every mob in the area, Cleave, Enforced Threat, Frontline Surge, then Villians Menace. Lunging strike and Threatening Rush to pick up strays. Enforced threat again, rinse and repeat. Jump on your mount, head out to the next area, then back to the other. If you can get the timing down, you can catch each side as they respawn for maximum numbers. If you can get the jump on the spawns, it's gold medal every time.
With much less gear than you, I generate enough AP to use a daily at least every other group. Frontline Surge can hit multiple targets and the column it generates is very generous. And yes, Cleave is useful for sustaining my AoE until either Enforced Threat or Frontline Surge come off cooldown, which is usually maybe 1-2 cycles at most if I'm spacing the abilities out properly.
Your main problem, though, is that you're targeting them when they're almost dead. Tagging alone doesn't count, you need to generate enough damage on a troll that you get credit. You want fresh packs, hit hard with as much AoE as you can generate, because those CWs do generate AoE damage faster than you. If you get initial hard hits in though, then them finishing off the mobs advances your score and you can keep pace with them or even surpass them in that way.
Change Appearance: Temporary versions of Summer fashion items are no longer able to be transmuted over permanent items.
Bummer - I just wasted mats on the temp garb for nothing.
So if a person can't routinely do at least 33% to the non-giant trolls (and 51% if its one of the small Hungry ones) then they should find a different batch of trolls.
This is quite unfair as it was known to be allowed before. I had thrown away my peasant garb then spent AD to get more to change appearance to the temp summer garb once I got enough. Would really like it if they changed it back before the end of the event. I just wasted mats & now find summer fest useless except for...pig mount? Not really interested.
