    Do the DOFF missions. If you get a critical you'll get beads.

    I'm actually having more trouble getting the andorian sleigh bells... I have 40+ of the common items and had 15+ beads when I finally got the 5 sleigh bells to get my holiday jacket!

    Edit: Just noticed that this my first post! wheeee!

    It's 'cause the Bajorans aren't very grateful.

    I'm in the opposite situation. I usually have twice more beads than bells.

    On the bad drop rate subject.

    I have been tracking 32 runs with the "Winter Invasion" and have not yet gotten a single Andorian Sleigh Bells or Bajoran Beads.

    I have asked around and many of them says that they get plenty of those items.

    There is almost no chance that I'am so unlucky.

    Do you receive bells and beads with the Winter Invasion?

    a "solution" would be to "trade" and interact with "other" "people"

    If that was for me... I was only bringing up that the drop rate in W.I must be off by a mile.

    I have enough to buy 2 Bug ships so if I like to buy something... I just do.

    No thank you :rolleyes: I enjoy my anti-social behavior.

    In all seriousness, last year the interactions with other people became price gouging sometimes. Or worse races to ask the person who had the beads what they wanted to trade before they made a deal with someone else and there weren't anymore beads to be had.

    Just adjust the drop rate so that Beads and Bells aren't an unnecessarily restricted bottleneck.

    They wouldn't listen to us last year about the beads and bells having lousy drop rates.

    But........OMG!

    Slightly increased the odds of receiving Uncommon Holiday Commodities from various sources.

    Thank you Cryptic for finally listening to us. :D:D:D

    Well, this year has a different issue than last year. Pie eating and the other new stuff, had cruddy to non-existent drop rates for uncommons. That's what's getting the biggest tweak, oh and holiday doffing got a major boost. you now get 4 on success and 12 on crit. Which is pretty big. I estimate that it'll approximately double my haul.

    They should at least give you one of each for completing the qeued event, sheesh. It's easier to get to second base with an Orion than to get those stupid green drops.

    How do you figure that seeing as Orion's are renowned Galaxy wide for being TRIBBLE? :rolleyes:

    I think I would be better is there were only 2 currencies like in the summer event. Keep the pictures and the terran ornament, get rid of the rest.

    Yeah the drop rate is poor, but there's no need to get anal about the beads. I'm sure they will pull something out slowly, and increase the drop rate by this weeks' patch.

    Well they could keep the other ornaments for the fleet project and it would be good.

    Yep, help is on the way. So be looking forward to the improved rates.

    Though hopefully they keep this in mind for next year. Perhaps going to a 1 token system like the Summer Event? Or like others suggested, a trade commons -> uncommons.
