Hello folks,

Well as the subject says it all... I am slightly confused at the logic behind this having collected a few bags I purchased 4 x Waukeen's Treasure Chest and I got 4 Cloaks which were all (Bound) ?

Please can somebody elaborate on that lol as it seems to get worse by the day in all areas. :D

Any suggestions you can come up with what I can do with these (not rude please) would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thx

    just open the purses ;p
    it`s kind of sad that those things are bound, but what can you change about it ;p
    seems like the pants and cloak are going to be pricy , with some lack of luck and being bound

    Is it not salvageable? if it isn't all you can do with the spares is sell them to the vendor since I'm guessing that they are bound?

    You just had bad luck on the dice rolls. I've only opened two chests, and got 40 coins of Waukeen from the first, and 256k RAD from the second. A faction mate reported getting 2 dragon eggs from the one he opened.

    NPC 3 of them, and use the remaining one as a fashion item.

    I feel your pain. I got 3 chests and got nothing but coins. So now I have 120 coins that I can use to buy a 80 coin item and nothing else because everything is bound. That makes the last chest I opened a complete waste. Actually, they were all a waste because I do not want to transmute my weapon but I DO get something for the first 80 coins so I have to be fair. I gave up on this event and any purses I get I will just open and hope for rough AD or dye. No more chests for me.

    I NEVER complain about the free events, but this one sucks. The new BOP EVERYTHING in the game policy killed this event.

    actualy to be honest you were not very smart by keep buying after the first cloak.
    only item you maybe needed besides that would have been the golden pants,
    which also can be obtained from the strongbox.
    x 4 the chance. vs the chest.
    if it was for ad, you re most safe with the purse.
    if you don`t want to depend on eggs price changes ;p
    and the smaller chance on rough ad.
    it`s a bit casino like, which bag/box/chest to open.
    there s not realy a golden rule, but i`m only opening purses at the moment.
    i don`t have to wait long also for them to be refined. have 27 chars, so i`m just dropping 100k on each of them ;p 5 days and all is cashed in.

    I'd much rather get the dragon eggs than anything other than the RAD. Got the RAD once. I should have stopped there. I have no use for bound gear with no stats.

    my plan is open the 32 bag till i get cape/pants if i get pants i ship all my purses to my next character, if i get cape i start opening 8 purse bags,

    what they should have done is make both the holiday uique objects (cape and the pants) ALSO available for say 500 and 100 coins for people with bad luck. another possiblity for if they must have cape/pants bound have the npc trade you 4 purses for pants and 16 purses for cape. or coins... that way people wont feel cheated by the RNG. but i do agree they really need a account bak if this stuff was BOA (till equipp)

    it would both make dupes less painful AND make 1 account with more alts more benificial this will raise the value of character/bank slots. also they could sell account bank slots for double single character bank slots (if not more)

    if i came to your house every day for a month and handed you ten bucks completely free of charge with no strings attached whatsoever... and on the first day of the next month, i handed you a banana... would you ask me where your ten dollars is?

    let's say it wasn't ten dollars i gave you. let's say it was one of three items: a pair of ray ban sunglasses, an iphone or a laptop - every day for a month - but this time, the stipulation was that you couldn't sell it. you had to use it or you could return it for credit that you could change into cash up to $2.50 per day.

    this is essentially the same type of scenario in game. you are getting something for free... something in return for your own personal entertainment... and the complaints are about the stipulations of those free items. BoP is great because it prevents a flood of those items on the auction house and it forces you to participate if you want the items. BoP in dungeons forces players to EARN their gear rather than simply buying it from the auction house. is this going to cause such things as getting repeated golden cloaks and other items... sure. that's just how the system is in place. if this broke the game for you, i suppose you can look at it any way you like. but it's great for the economy.

    Yep, after opening 2 chests and getting coins that I personal have zero use for and a cloak that I am not really interested in, its boxes for me. Of course I opened 2 boxes and some marks of gratitude...oh YAY!

    Still, I think the boxes are the best choice for me so I don't get potions for the purses...

    and when you have purses, strongboxes and chests that don't hold anything of value to you... you sell them on the auction house. BONUS!

    Smart people will wait till after the event to sell them. The only thing, at that point, that wouldn't be useful would be the coins. The rest would most likely still be highly in demand. Especially once stocks of dye and the like have dwindled.

    Time isn't free, time is money so your whole point is invalid.

    Double bound items that can only be equip or discard are useless and there is no way you can change people's mind about that.
    Maybe that you are the type to accept everything that is thrown your way but others aren't.

    I doubt anybody here is entertained by farming for hours for boxes and than getting 4 the same bound items.

    No one is forcing anyone to farm mindlessly. This isn't a contest, just a fun little event.

    Ive simply been doing the dailies I would of been doing anyhow. It was a double bonus today simply because it was also Neverember foundry bonus day. Today alone I ended up with a ton of bags, as well as a nice pile of daily AD. And never once did I feel like I had to farm them. Perhaps tomorrow, Ill do some Sharandar dailies, and if I get a ton more boxes it will be just another bonus.

    Id like to hope that most people are doing the event in a similar fashion. The hard core farmers, for the most part, tend to be in the minority.

    if time = money, think about all that money you waste in the bathroom, while sleeping and while eating... not to mention relaxing and personal entertainment.

    nope, i don't think my point is invalid. i think your perception of time is a bit skewed. if you are playing a game and expect to get paid for it, i think you're in the wrong dimension. free items drop on nearly all npc enemies you kill. whether they are BoP duplicates or not... that's the chance you take with participating in this event.

    can it be annoying? if you let it annoy you, sure. does it suck that you didn't get 256k rough AD x4 and instead you got a bunch of capes? YES. it does suck. but it should all be in good fun.

    My mindless farming comes from there being no bag drops if you're in a group.
    Would've been more fun if you could get them as you play however you like.

    ...or did they fix the group drop? (Assuming it's a bug.)

    It's an attempt to give bored lvl 60s something to solo, so they'll keep playing. This thread is feedback.

    So far, I've got the RAD 2 out of 4 times. I'm not upset. At least it gave my GWF something to do, besides professions.

    2 Dragons Eggs, 40 Coins, 1 cloak and 256k AD from my 4. Guess I was lucky and got the whole spectrum.

    Now I will have to send my purses to an alt.

    Don't get me wrong, the % of getting goodies we all know is very vague but having 4 of these items (ooops I mean now 6) and all bound is really madness, please see the thread here regarding a vote on BOP http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?510141-Change-BoP-to-BoA
