    Same problem here, I sold the items I had collected 2 hours ago and they where worth about 32k points in total but I didnt get those points.

    I went grinding after I had sold them and the "newly" collected Dragon Quest items gave me dragon points right after I sold them.

    Those 32k points do also appear in my history, I just dont have them. Time to wait patiently and hope they fix this I guess.

    So yeah the sold to vendor should appear instantly correct and the points show up 1 hour later.... sold some dqs about half an hour ago still nothing in the vendor section, cant help feeling my chances of getting actual points seems slim to none atm.. b:surrender

    Try refreshing your page - worked for me. My points are showing up now.

    Two questions:

    1) The event points, is one event point one gold in the event boutique, or what exactly is the exchange rate?

    2) I've read that the DQ items are character bound, but lets say you get the event points and you buy something in the event boutique with it, can THAT item be sold to other players?

    1. 50 points = 50 event gold

    2. All items from the event boutique are bound (but account stashable), to my knowledge. Only thing you could do is maybe buy refining stones and resell the refined item for a profit.

    Note: Please keep in mind that system is in "Working Beta" stage.

    does it mean that points could reset?

    First post in this thread. Yay for lateness.

    Provided this system doesn't get worse later (i.e. points resetting, good rewards removed etc), this is wonderful. The item selection does need a lot of work, but the ones that exist now are useful without being game-breaking, and the exchange rates seem to be more or less fair. Most importantly, though, a solid system like this will encourage people to get back out in the field and recover the lost art of grinding.

    Just please, please don't remove any of the existing rewards... especially the Demon/Sage Event Card. Not all of us have the gear/luck necessary to participate in the Tiger event, and event gold can really help us out. The exchange rate for one is pretty high, too, but it's fair for what the reward is. Just please don't change this at all.

    Event gold is spent in the Event Boutique. Open the Boutique with 'o' then look to the top right corner, you will see 3 circles. 1st one is the Boutiqe, 2nd Event Boutiqe, and 3rd Live Auction. Click that second circle, and you can spend event gold there.

    Well I did a little calculating about that and you would need to NPC a total of roughly 950 million coins worth of lv91+DQ's to have enough officer badges for r9 b:chuckle

    So basically you have to grind 475 mil ish in DQ's to get about half the badges you need by buying them, and the other half by DQ points.

    Yeah but dont forget that while you are grinding you are geting coins, mats and after npc dqs u win good money.

    So u can use that money to buy more tokens to get rep....

    I already took the money you get from selling DQ's in account, you need to NPC 475 mil worth of DQ's, which you use to buy officer badges. That's about 100k rep (with about 70m to spare)

    Then you also have enough DQ points for another 100k rep.

    I see what you mean but dont forget that you also do quests, fbs,(even 100bhs wich can give us rep)one mans army .

    U can "grind" for dqs while doing one mans army(i know the rep is low but well, rep is rep...)
    Also u can get the drops from fb/bh mobs


    I ts not much but its a bit lower than that anyway this the best thing they add since the Nien event.

    And then you could stack those crusade orders and oma with it and get even more rep.

    Actually at 90+ the one man armies are in heaven/hell and the mobs there have a lower droprate for DQ's than the 96 spiders. So while you get more rep with the OMA you will get less DQ's = less badges for reputation.
