I would just like to inform the PWI player population about the Dragon Quest Raffle. I spent 15 copper dragons to test out the LVL 4 Raffle. Here are my results.

1st Try: 2 Rough Amber Shards
2nd Try: 2 Star KneePads of Dawn
3rd Try: 5 Big-Headed Pills
4th Try: 2 Blemished Amethyest Shards
5th Try: 2 Rough Amber Shards

After attempting the raffle 5 times, this is what I determined about the Dragon Quest Raffles:

If there are any uber items from the raffles,
A. There are a low chance of getting anything worth the three copper dragons. (Duh!)
B. There may not be any uber items you can get from the raffles. (uh-oh =X)
C. Do not waste any copper dragons on the raffles unless you can afford to just try the raffles for the heck of it.

    You can only come to such a conclusion if you keep getting the same items over and over again and on 5 tries, you got 4 different items...

    I have decided to postpone my Dragon Quests endeavors until I can afford to do so.

    My eyes are still on the DQ mount, but my main focus in the game is not that. The coins I spend on the DQ is the coins I can save for my necessary skills. Until then, I would say I am wasting my time and I hold my conclusion true.

    Unless, a GM or admin can inspire me on my DQ journey again by letting me know if the raffle does has any chance of getting any uber items and what they are.

    Oh, if someone else tried the raffles, please feel free to post your results here.

    b:sad
    AHHHHH!!!
    b:cry

    I have wasted 15 copper stones for those kind of rewards!!!

    (Taking a deep breath.)

    Thank you Mosz for setting it straight. Now that I have this info. I would like to make a final conclusion. Do NOT waste your copper dragons on the raffles. Unless a GM or admin can vouch differently, the raffles are worthless.

    Yeah it is, you should have enough items to get you all the way to level *5. You always start picking up DQ items from mobs 5 levels lower, so you get DQ41 items from 35+ mobs, DQ51 from 45+, DQ61 from 55+ etc. So by the time you finally get 31/41/51/61 you should have like 50 of each item, if not more, which is more than enough to get you up to around level 35/45/55/65.

    From around level 30 - 60, a usual level would be: Quest to 30/40%, crazy stone + 2 or 3 DQs, then I was always in the 90%s for an easy grind to ding.

    If you have the items, I'd say they're really worth the xp + spirit to carry you up levels. All my money has been from selling copper + silver dragon orders. Selling 34 copper dragon orders at 30K got me 1mil, which I could use to finance skills, gear, and then buy more DQ items to get more xp + spirit.

    The other day I sold my silvers that I had pretty much collected free from DQ51/61, and made another 1.5mil, and now I have a buyer lined up to buy all my silver DOs, it's such easy money and the xp can kill hours to grind time.

    Anyway, that's just my opinion, I like them.

    What Mosz means is that copper dragons orders are relatively useless. You can get some OK rewards from them, like the lvl 52 weapon molds, but by and large you'll come out better off money wise by selling your DQ items, than selling the copper DOs.

    And you can probably get more XP by simply grinding in the time it takes to fly around the world talking to NPCs. The exception is if you sell a lot of cash shop items to pay for teleportation.

    At level 71 the DQs give a 100% chance at a silver order which is a lot more useful. But again, money wise, simply selling the DQ items to the NPC will get you more money than selling the silver DOs.
    I like pie
