    Why exactly are DQ getting points from selling them to vendors? Shouldn't they offer points for using them as they were intended? On Dragon Quests... It certianly would make doing DQs more appealing if you actually got more than a little exp and a DO you have no control over for all that cost and trouble.

    I would even go as far as giving up the exp for a nice wad of cash for the major finacial setback doing the quest causes. But come one really? No points AT ALL for tendering them for the quests? b:surrender

    This system is here because of the 20% price reduction on DQ rewards.

    Some people (like me) grinded mobs for the drops to sell them and make some money.
    Other people used them for the quests.

    For the people who did the quests with them, nothing changed.

    For the people however who used them to get some cash things did change. So I'm more then happy with the implemented system. This makes grinding more profitable again.

    The DP system is great but IMO the only prizes that are worth getting are the Sage/Demon Event Card, the Makeover Scroll and the Medal of Glory. The Mysterious Chips and Perfect Stones would be worth redeeming if they were brought down to 10 points at most. Same with Wraith Badges. They should be 100-500 pts each instead of 1000. Some item and point suggestions:

    Hyper Stone - 500 pts
    Advanced Mystical Page - 1000 pts
    Chrono Page - 10000
    1 Source of Force/Phoenix Feather - 1000 pts
    Perfect (G9??) Gems - 15000 pts
    Copper Order - 1000 pts
    Silver Order - 5000 pts
    Gold Order - 10000 pts
    Dice Ticket - 100 pts
    Mirage - 200 pts

    mmmh...

    20k points----> 1x Medal of Glory (worth 25 Golds at shop)

    20k points----> 20x Wraith Officer's Badge (50 of them worth 45 Silvers at shop)

    it is a nonsense... isn't it?

    Mirage - 200 pts

    mysterious chips = dice tickets b:surrender You can get 1 dice ticket for 1 mysterious chip. So it's not really neccesary to put dice tickets in the rewards.

    Tbh I don't like the idea of hyper stones with the rewards. This would result in people farming on their main and then hyperlvling their alts even more then usual.b:surrender

    I gues you mean dragon orders, if you want the dragon orders you should do the quest imo. If you put those in the rewards the quest officially became useless.

    I do however like the idea of putting SoF/PF in the rewards. A herc/nix is almost impossible to obtain without being a damn good merchant. (about 170mil now on some servers) This would give a lot of veno's some hope ^^

    Adding mirages also seems oke, though they're quite cheap anyway already.

    Adding the items to obtain 92 and 99 skillbooks should be a really good idea.

    SOF/Nix feathers however should not be added, the pets are supposed to be rare, and we dont want every veno run around with these pets!

    Hyper stones are a good option imo.

    plat hp charms?

    g9 gems also a fair trade.

    Some people would disagree. Particularly the ones that kick Venos out of the party for not having them. Venos with pets you can catch in-game are just not good enough for some people.

    If they added SoF/PF to the DQ list even at the lowest price of 50 DQP, it would require a full 499,950 points to get 9999 of either. A good farmer would be able to do it in a month, but it's still a lot of work. Not to mention it would all be untradeable..

    well, you select the char you want to have it on, click send at the demon/sage event card. Then the card will be in your mailbox. I don't know exactly what npc it is, but she's standing around the banker in west-arch, just see which one has a quest for you to exchange it.
    :) hope that helped a bit ^^

    I don't know what's wrong.... got the cerebus pup for my barb. Have enough points for the pillar pet and want it on another character, but the button won't light up, so I can't get it. :( I have more than double the points needed to get it. I've been trying for several days and no luck. Any clue what's happening? Thanks!

    Okay dont really know if this is the place to put this but-

    The DQ page isnt working for me. At all.

    Its all whited out weird funky looking and is not updating my DQ points. Im using the current update of Firefox and before they removed fireworks for being redeemable the DP system was working fine. Now its all wonky. Can someone who knows what happened care to explain what went wrong? :3

    GMs you ever going to fix the prices? or add any useful items to it?
    how does it make sense that a chip costs 100 dp when a medal of glory is 20k?

    thats 100k for a chip if a medal would be 20m, great price!b:bye

    ok i don't know if this has been asked before because i was a little lazy and didn't want to look through every single page but...

    I was in the process of buying a random pigment and then the mysterious chip but after i clicked on the mysterious chip i went to the tab where it shows what i bought and well....It showed up that I bought two mysterious chips....and now i don't have enough to get the random pigment. Is there a way i can send the mysterious chip back for my DQ points? I really wanted that random pigment....b:cry

    Any help would be nice. Thanks!

    i pmed frankie about a months ago and asked him that.

    he said "before the expansion"

    other than that the only other thing was i able to get out of him was "dragon orders" are one of the things being added. the rest of the new items i can only guess at
    Killing level 80's with a lvl 60 is a lot more fun than killing level 90's with a level 100.
