So that seems like a pretty good bet.

Not sure I understand what you're saying...

There are new white mantle weapons, unseen except in the .dat file?
And these might be obtainable using medals?
If so, doesn't that seem a little unlikely? (shining blade medals, for white mantle weapons?)

There may be stuff coming that hasn't been added to the .dat file yet.

Maybe the weapons are from stolen Mantle war supplies and hopefully we can put those babies in our hall too

has been a while for me.

Could be new craftable weapons like Tormented and Destroyer weapons that we can use to put in our Hall of Monuments. That might be what we use the Medals for.

Or maybe a Quartermaster that will takes so many of those for the weapons.

My guess is a medal will open up the next mission when it's available.

Cleavage · May 25, 2010, 03:37 AM // 03:37

Its going to be new elite armor

Considering Anet's lack of originality one can guess the MoH's are for either new weapons or armor. Whatever it turns out to be I doubt many people will be surprised.

PS - Would love to be proven wrong.

Gabriel of Ravn · May 25, 2010, 05:49 AM // 05:49

What if MoH's are just traded in for items like Shining Blade War Horn that would just be horrible.

I would be extremely surprised if it was for new armor.

Would you rather have new armor and weapons, or more minipets, summoning stones and consumables?

byteme! · May 25, 2010, 07:41 AM // 07:41

I'd rather have something completely different altogether.

I'm all for new armour. But I don't think it will be that, just after the costumes....if it's new weapon I'm not getting them, if it's the rest let's see what. Or maybe they're going to work like zcoins? Very improbable but a nice option.

This seems the most reasonable to me.

It seems really unlikely to me, simply because they are too "hard" to get.

Fire Hiro · May 25, 2010, 10:41 AM // 10:41

Got Salma, but quickly sold it for 40e before the prices drop any further

That wouldn't make a lot of sense. I've already gotten 4 medals from gifts. That would make any more than 1 pointless since you can't trade them.

I thought anet was against farming??? Have to farm nicholas in pre and post searing and now this too. I am confused farming continues to be nerfed only to be replaced with "anet approved" farming.

Arato · May 29, 2010, 09:58 AM // 09:58

Just bumping this to say that while I enjoy doing the bounties and participating in the WIK stuff, having so much of the loot table for gifts consist of junk items I can buy off a merchant for 500 gold or less sucks the fun out of it. I'm talking scrolls, ID kits, and expert salvage kits.

The grails, essences, armor of salvation, powerstone, those are okay (those are at least somewhat valuable and useful), but everything else should be exclusive to this gift type, like most of the items in gift of the traveller are exclusive to it.

I don't mind opening a gift and getting brandy or lokum, because it's at least unique to this gift.

aspi · May 29, 2010, 10:03 AM // 10:03

My guess is the medals are a counterpart of the zaishen coins. They canot be traded and not sold, what other items in the game resemble this?

Showtime · May 29, 2010, 10:20 AM // 10:20

started out hoping for a mini. out of the 40+ ive opened my best has been 3 of those silver medals that have no use so far and a summon. so it took 600 supplies to get 75 supplies worth...
i had especially amazing luck on last 5 gifts i opened.. scroll of adventurers, expert salvage, expert salvage, krytan lokum, expert salvage. worst 5 in history of gifts i bet.

i am due!

Dervish Kid · May 29, 2010, 05:34 PM // 17:34

I only opened about 3
-powerstone
-brandy
-scroll of res
