Title: Mystery Item Updates
Lothlómendil - May 1, 2006 10:23 PM (GMT)
I have changed the way you receive your mystery information when you purchase the mystery items and spells available to you. From now on the admin filling the request will post a reply in your purchase request telling you what your mysterious purchase has turned out to be. This is to keep solid record of what you were given, PMs aren't as reliable. Ita's egg has also been changed from waiting two weeks to being instantly informed. The admins have been provided with the necessary information for filling your requests.

Mystery items? hmmm must check out that one...
anyways, thanks Loth! the two-week wait for Ita's egg to hatch was draggy so the speed-up was very helpful :)

From what I've seen, all of the mystery items have been other items..just at random.
Is it basically just hoping to get stuff at a reduced cost? ;)

Actually, on the note of prices, in case people haven't noticed, the price of Ita's mystery egg had gone up to 200 gold.

and on the mystery spells, I've found out that they are a good buy. Out of the 150 that I've spent on them already, I've gotten about 300 worth of spells ^^

I was actually going to suggest just posting, but the suggestion forum is closed. :lol:

The Mystery Potions, or so I heard, had very unique uses. But for the Mystery spells and the Eggs, unfortunately, you should just cross your heart and hope you get a good spell/familiar. Hey, at least Loth prohibited me from giving you guys crappy 5-gold pets like fish or beetles. ^_^ And since most familiars are 100 gold or more, you're most likely going to get a bang for your buck. Or however the saying goes.
*dangles a fish in front of Phedre* See!? Dodged a bullet there, huh, Phed? :p Remember: Live with the alligator. Be the alligator. Deal with the alligator.
But back on topic, great job, Loth. A very logical change to the system. ^_^

Hehehehehe. I was wondering about the small pets ;)
Could you also get dragons from the eggs?
Sanzen - May 2, 2006 12:57 PM (GMT)
Just an addition to Garath's question, is there a price range so at least we know what we can get from the mystery items? Just to be sure :D
oh and I'm not really complaining, I got the fair price for the eggs I got :D

:shifty: I think they want it to be kept a secret, hint the word mystery
I'm going to go buy some mystery stuff later :p
Garath Parradon - May 2, 2006 01:26 PM (GMT)
Bahhh! I don't want them to give items away! :p I just wana know a bit about the stakes! ;)
Sanzen - May 2, 2006 01:37 PM (GMT)
Well my question is actually not the actual list, but how expensive or how cheap the item/creature can be.
I mean, if the prize of the egg is 200 gold and we could get something like between 50-1000 gold worth, that's probably worth it... helps with people who have a hard time getting gold and want to try to get something big in one go :D
but no pressure, if it really is a secret, then it's ok...
Phedre - May 2, 2006 05:08 PM (GMT)
As far as I know, the eggs can be anything but dragons... But don't quote me on that. Still an amazing "bang for your buck" as you say.
Oh and Ita. You suck! :p I can't believe it. Ah well, you didn't get to punch me anyway! So I guess it all worked out. And the alligator? He's my new quirky familar. I think it'll be a good time... and you'll regret "randomly" giving him to me! Muah ha ha ha!
Ita the Reckless - May 2, 2006 05:14 PM (GMT)
Loth recently changed it so you can't get Mercenaries or Sprites either. But if you buy an egg just to cheat the shop system and get your hands on a high-priced familiar, you're wasting your money. :p And by "high-priced," I mean Elder Dragons and wyverns and such.
And Phedre, remind me to burn you to a crisp. Just because I'm feeling crappy doesn't mean I can't kick your arse! O_o
Uhh...back on topic. I should start putting my off-topic remarks in the first parts of the post and the on-topic remarks at the bottom. >.< Go on people, keep commenting in-topic. O_o Don't kill me, staff team.

Although just because you shouldn't buy an egg in hopes of something really good doesn't mean you won't get something that is kick arse.
P.S. I love my new beastie.
Askain - May 2, 2006 09:59 PM (GMT)
I don't think I want to buy an egg anymore x.x Too random for me...but the spells I'm going to get anyway, so it doesn't matter to me ^^
