HOLD UP! SIT DOWN or GRAB SOMETHING! BOMBSHELL NEWS INCOMING
Grud came back stating he had a better idea! He EXPANDED ON THE PRESENTS IDEA to make it better for EVERYONE!
Grud recognizes that not all of us have a lot of plats to put together, but everyone deserves to give and receive presents! So in that spirit, he has changed the originally-proposed concept to something that a lot more people will be able to participate in!
$20 USD - Stocking stuffer: Non-majical but cool item. Cosmetic, but new - not something anyone else currently has.
$35 USD - Silver Santa: Special item. Items look cool (as above) but are of higher quality and rarity. Likely to have minor majical properties (unless you're a Barbarian).
$50 USD - Gold-hearted Grinch: Minor majical items, best quality and rarity. Will have majical properties (except for Barbarian items or Treasure maps).
Each level of gift will have a dozen or so items from which receivers will get a random selection.
THE ELVES WILL DO THEIR UTMOST to ensure that gifts will be something that the receiver can use (i.e. a sorcerer won't get a sword), so please specify the race and class of the person it is intended for when you purchase it! NOTE: If the same person gets multiple gifts, reasonable effort will be made to ensure the recipient doesn't get multiples of the same item - unless it makes sense. e.g. multiples of a stat-boost elixir would be OK, multiples of the same helmet, not so much. 🙂
Every gift purchased enters the gift-recipient (not the purchaser) into the bonus draw for a brand new and unique majic item!
Recipients of: - A Stocking Stuffer, receives 1 entry for the draw - A Silver Santa, receives 2 entries for the draw - A Gold-hearted Grinch, receives 3 entries for the draw
So if you would like to be in on the draw, don't forget to gift yourself, too!
After sales close at MIDNIGHT ON DRACMAS EVE, all of the entries will go into the pot and when the winner is selected, their intended present will instead be removed and exchanged for a Snowflake Token, and then all the presents will be sent out at once on Dracmas Day! The recipient of the Snowflake Token is to reach out and let Support know their personal preference on which class they wish to have it created for. The winner's gift will be a suit of winter-themed armor that will be appropriate to their class. I.E., a sorcerer could get a Cryomancer's icy robe, a sage a dragonhide tunic, a knight Remorhaz-scale armor, etc. Make no mistake, this is not a minor majic item, or rare item. *This will be a unique item of significant power. *
Do not forget, a portion of the sales for the presents that you give and receive will go to the Food Bank - always a good cause! :)
Good luck to all! Merry Dracmas!
