A little love for pre-searing could never be a bad thing

I never said that it was efficient to get the items this way. I just mentioned that there are collectors who do give these items out after pre. It's not exactly the most efficiant to get them from this new collector either unless you've had stacks of these items in your inventory this whole time and plan on bringing your characters across to give them the items only to do it all over again. It's still more efficient to farm the cash and buy them from the merchant. But I personally have always been with the mind set in the game of "why buy what you can get for free?"

But I'm still all for this addition. It gives my pre character something else to do than just going after the defender title. :P

Latest quote says hes off to cantha but i don't recon he actually is.
They could do a week in each nooby island, then again can he time travel?.....
edit: i just got told to not tell a newb where the secret area is because apparently it devalues the gifts...right?

Thats rubbish

hell, if a "new player" asks for help, why not help and take them to where he is?

BenjZee · Apr 14, 2009, 01:46 PM // 13:46

That's what i said and besides its not like hes a secret, everyone knows where he is or atleast can look on wiki. I don't see how it would devalue a gift anyway....

and besides, you can only get 5 "gifts" per account per day anyway

Jensy · Apr 14, 2009, 05:37 PM // 17:37

I've been enjoying collecting the item of the day, and getting the gifts. People who cry about everything other people do devaluing *their* playing experience are morons.

Really good to see that they care at least a bit about pre-searing.
I wonder why he and his yak are not mentioned in the update notes.. or am I just blind?

Would be nice to see a few more of these little additions.. they make the game more.. alive.

Minako Sawai · Apr 14, 2009, 06:32 PM // 18:32

It is a nice little addition to Pre, the models are nicely done, the daily text is cute, the gifts are minor but motivate many to play a bit more in Pre, and it is just a fun little thing. Fort Ranik now has a bit of life to it and depending on the item of the day, many of the other outposts are busier. Players are offering to team up a bit more from what I've seen, either to show newer players where something is, or just to go out and collect stuff.

Thank you to Linsey and everyone else involved!

oooo an NPC with my surname...

We wanted him to be a bit of a surprise, though Linsey, Martin, and I did go in-game to provide some helpful (frustrating? :-P) hints on the day.

Everyone running around the outpost going WHERE DUDE?! at one time was pretty amusing, you have to admit

BenjZee · Apr 15, 2009, 07:03 PM // 19:03

Its different they have DEv powers

Depending on the right situation it is exceptable to allow them to time travel. As long as he didn't kill a butterfly

Indeed, after almost 4 years I still love to explore in area's as the prophecies Jungle or the kurzick woods etc.
The only thing is that I never know what to do with those collector items drops, dont need weapons of them, there are
dropping enough nice weapons as it is.. so what to do with those drops.
Those kind of collector (not to many) hidden some where in fields or forrest
would make exploring very funny.

I know that I posted long a go a option to change some existing weapon
collectors in somekind of consumable collectors.. And believe me, there will be
lots of people that wanna spend lots of hours roaming some woods and fields once more.
When they now there drops can be changed in somything eatable, drinkable, shinig or what ever.

I definitely like him. A new fun story every day (as long as it lasts, maybe he will start recycling the items and stories after some time).
Revived my dusty pre ranger that I had LDOA in mind for, but gave up. Today it took me 15mins to earn 10 strong ale and 15 party items, not too bad. After a while you will have some stachs that you can sell or take to post and use or sell there.
I also recruited a guild member just by showing him the location of Nicholas

Prof Yakkington for President!!!

Professor Yakkington, I need to make a Prophs char just to see him... What a brilliant name.

I like this I'm thinking of trying Legendary Defender of Ascalon now

Um why doesn't Regina say anything about how you can delete a character and keep getting gifts?? I mean sure it requires work but that's not how it's suppose to be intended. I'm saying this cause I want to do it and not get banned and if I'm going to get banned for doing it then I want to know beforehand.

Before you guys think I"m ruining things for you, it says it right on the wiki page linked in the first post so it's out there already. But I rather not get banned.
