Where do you get these ?

Former Ruling · Jun 30, 2006, 07:38 AM // 07:38

odly - the Dragon Event in Shing Jea island..

Possible prizes:
1k Gold Coins - Currently the Rarest, but best present prize. I've opened ~20 presents with only ONE being this prize.

5 Jade Wind Orbs - Bad prize unless you are filling up to 250 after the quests.

1 Red Bean Cake - Useful only for the event. Makes you run 25% faster for 5 minutes - Only usable in towns and outposts. It was made basically for the Dragon Nest game...

1 Bottle of Rice Wine - Not worth the cost of the present. It acts as a normal ale - not a Spiked variety. Several just to get drunk.

so to recap...
Tickets cost 15g each - you need 25 tickets for a prize, so basically prize = 375g.

From your prize you get one of the following:
Prize 1.
5 Jade Wind Orbs - Bad prize as you can get most or the Orbs you need doing the quests and then easily get the other Orbs in other ways:
(a) Playing the dragon arena will get you 4 if you win and is far more fun even if you loose
(b) swap 1 ticket for an 1 Orb by taking part in the worm chase, if lucky and you end up playing solo you get 11 Orbs
(c) you can get them as drops killing monsters while doing the quests (also sell any other drops and making cash on the side)

Prize 2.
1 Red Bean Cake - Bad prize as its kinda pointless prize as it only allows for speedup in towns/outposts (lasts 5 mins). About the only real use would be in the worm game to be faster than everyone else or gett around town faster.

Prize 3.
1 Bottle of Rice Wine - Bad prize as from what we know so far its no more powerfull than normal ale, and if you wanted ale you could simply buy ale for far less (almost half the price and you know you are getting ale that way).

Prize 4.
1k / 1000g - Well not really is it as you are spending 375g to get it so infact it is only worth 625g if you get it eveytime... basically if you get this you are not even coming close to double the money spent gambling on getting it, adn we know that the chance of getting it is very small.

So not looking to good so far I dont think there are any other prizes (i hope there is tho)

In short.
Would you pay 375g for:
1. 5 Jade Wind Orbs when you can get them in a number of far cheaper and quicker ways?
2. 1 Red Bean Cake that allows 5 mins speed up in towns?
3. 1 Bottle of Rice Wine that is no more use than Ale that only costs 200g
4. A very small chance of getting 625g as thats all the 1k prize is worth when you count the cost of tickets into it.

hmmm.. I dont think I will be doing anymore of those 'prizes'..

Meh, I just got them when I got the first level of the lucky title. It's like the inevitable mask we're getting soon. Fun stuff for now, but will grow old, pointless to keep on you, but will ultimately land up in your inventory taking space and growing dust. I still have a bunch of winter and halloween stuff that I don't really use, but can't seem to part with.
