    something totally new

    a 'double drops' charm

    this way, irrespective of level you use it where you want to boose drops/money

    the tier of prize could be how long it lasts - 1/2hr, hr etc

    i say this cause im broke and need a quick 50mill for new armour and a tt80weapon, so chop chop, I need it YESTERDAY

    -skill books for sages and demons...

    -lotta the higher end DQ things that sell for ~4k, makemonsters drop lots of these such as the things in the legion attacks

    -merit badges, you know those exp items the legion monsters drop too

    -wraith officer badges and dog tags

    -contest for a supply of FB wines, in the form of large amounts of those ones you get from weding packs and trade at the match maker

    -weapon and armor molds, tired of high priced elite leather molds!

    -mysterious chips

    -GOLD TT/LUNAR mats, i need ancient devil souls for my BM ):

    -frost gold gear


    and another catshop contest... where the GM would hide in a catshop among a town or wilds, and had a rare item for 1 coin. I WON ONE OF SANCS FIRST BLACK RAPTORS THAT WAY 8D!

    Going sage is like drunken sex, at first she may look good, but when you wake up the next morning; you'll look at her and go WHAT HAVE I DONE.

    'Rare' items. Or, things that normally drop after certain mobs are killed.

    Dragon orders (All tiers). Or a mold of a person's choice.

    - Demon and sage skill books. Really, more of these need to drop in places and if it's not going to happen anywhere else in game then in an event would be just fine.

    - If you're going to make DQ items drop, try and implement the higher to highest end ones, and lots of them too. After all if you go through a whole event and end up with one of these, which is 4k at most, you aren't going to be happy.

    - Rep! Dog tags, wraith officer badges, hell maybe even darkness stamps of some kind. Seriously, let's see some rep. You could also include the merit badges that the legion monsters sometimes drop because hey, a bit of EXP is always nice too.

    - High end shards.

    - Maybe some of the rare TT mats, like TT gold for the higher instances, and rarer molds too. Ones that hardly ever drop.

    - Pages if you aren't going to implement actual skill book drops.

    The only problem with all of this is, while it's great to see you've been improving your events one after the other and learning from them, people are still going to come to these events in masses, so even while you're trying to find out what players want, unless you work out an apt way to organise drops so everybody gets the smallest bit of something at least, players are probably still going to be unhappy.

    It's my only thought in all of this.

    You start dropping stuff like skill books and uber rare TT mats or mold drops, you're going to have even more people than normal flocking to take part in the event, meaning that people are still going to end up incredibly unhappy.
    I know you can't please everybody but it's something that needs to be taken into consideration when looking at what monster or randomly spawned boss is going to drop what, and how much.

    stupid packs to be gone

    So what does that have to do with event prizes and monster drops?

    Wait, that's totally it!

    Monsters should drop packs. =)

    It would be cool if the winners of the events could choose their prizes from a few, like molds, armor and weapons, etc.

    And everyone who participated and did something useful should get something (even something pointless like 5 mirage celes) + the items should be non-tradeable and worth only around 50k if NPCd so the people who get those uber-rare items wouldn't be millionaires instantly.

    And it would be more useful if the prizes matched the persons level, for instance, if you're a level 72 cleric, you can choose from a few items made for clerics around level 70. I totally hate those quests that give me an armor piece I can't wear or sell so I just have to npc it for 5k.

    Although the idea of the Apoc pots that sleepcat said and the fb109 books that LadyofReal said would be awesome too =)

    sat about a mid-ranged mount or something?

    land mount +6/+7 (lvl 10 req)
    flying .8-1.8

    "drop" charms (small charms, formerly emerald)

    and I agree with the double-drop thing, but a book perhaps?
    training esotera like items but lower gain and time. example: gain an extra 25% for 1/2 hour

    How about something like diamond charms?(would be better than plat charms and are only event rewards) 8D you guys think bigger or how about some of the aero gear that hasnt been released in game yet like dark lord (not dark night), or fadeing beauty. Or mounts like the white panther (i was told its a PQ reward but idk if its true or not)

    Anything but Mirages. We have enough Mirages as it is and it's impossible to sell them at a decent price anymore. XD

    So wait... they aren't allowing you to give us anything from the CS? And that doesn't strike anyone else as a little bit penny-pinching? -_-

    There aren't too many commodities that are entirely free of the taint of the CS. Hell, even those Mirages can technically be purchased (Celestone Box?)... Scarlet Fruits... any kind of normal mats...

    I guess TT mats would be exempt though. Oh, that actually makes a lot of sense now that I think about it. Give us TT mats, or maybe Frost/Lunar mats if you ever decide to enable them again... or Nirvana crystals. I can't wait to hear the elitist-rage over that one. XD

    Dragon orders would be good, too. Preferably in bulk quantities (perhaps an event where everyone earns several, but some earn more than others based on performance/luck ?). Nobody ever does DQs anymore, so... yeah.

    EDIT: Swift Whitewind, Crimson Leaper and Dark Charger are all mounts that cannot be obtained through CS means. They'd be fair game too. :D

    EDIT 2: I support Sunday's post at the top of this page about Pet Skills, as well. Maybe even a few rare ones to lower the insane prices of those skills at the moment.

    EDIT 3: Rare pet eggs for venos? Or all class versions? Maybe that'll cut down on the greed and savagery that sometimes goes on at those pet spawns... -_-

    Chrono Pages pl0x.

    Apocalypse pages too I suppose.

    Ultimate Subs are a pretty cool guy too.

    Apothecary doesn't afraid of anything.

    I herd u liek shards.

    By the way, I lol'd hard when you said nothing out of cash shop. There is basically nothing in this game that can't be bought anymore. Not levels, not gear, not special DQ rewards, not even manufacturing anymore.

    Book pages of all kinds

    Celestones of all kinds

    Gold TT mats

    Ultimate Subs

    Event Food

    Rare Pet Eggs (frogs, bunnies, turtles, crabs, bears)

    Rep tags of all kinds

    Perfect stones

    Cube prizes (boxes, OHT mats, etc)


    And one suggestion, if you haven't heard it a thousand times already.

    Map-wide distribution of Event Mobs. The *only* way to prevent massive lag, and make it possible for all classes and levels to participate equally.

    Doing it any other way makes it nearly pointless, and will irritate more than it pleases.

    slightly off topic

    can there be an announcement when there is a wraith attack like there used to be so that we can enjoy these mini events that are already there. I know duke was shut up about the pack stuff but at least the wraith attack announcements were useful

    back on topic.

    has anyone said socket stones yet
