[[Quotes puck]]

Atleast mocha and any of the other gm's that pitched in did something for Christmas they could have left us with nothing to do but the ordinary things, but no they gave us something fun in holiday spirit and gave us a gift.
so just be thankful for what you got, Because they didn't have to do it at all and personally i think it was an epic gift.
To me the event was hard work that payed off ;D <3
sorry, had to express my view there.

There are more then 4 items, the GMs said there are other collectibles to get as well. You just have to do the same quest you did to get the gear. So you said you got the apron, then do the same quest again and you will get a deco item. Sure you dont got the best reward, but so what, the point of the event is to have fun, and break off from your everyday routine in game, not reap the benefits. I love this event, mainly because its challenging without being overwhelming. Dont give up just because of a simple mix up, go get some deco. :)

Quoting +Mocha,

" The event is designed to be fun, there are multiple levels BUT, and this is important folks!
Once you complete a level you will get a reward based on that events difficulty. The rewards are different for each level and you will only be able to receive " ONE MAJOR REWARD " so it is important you choose the level that is right for your skills and gear. Once you complete a level you " CAN NOT " receive another levels prize. So advanced players should do the advanced one. None advanced players should do the normal one and newer players there is an easier level one for you all.

The good news is the event can be done " MORE THAN ONCE WITH OTHER MINOR PRIZES " handed out. "

All in all super duper great event! Got to see lots of people and felt mortal once again! Thank y'all staff for putting this together and even though I have the cloak slot occupied at the moment I can always give my cape to my alt toon... can I?

Let me say first of all that I am very happy that most players are having fun with this event.
When I made it I tried to think of something that would allow players of all ages and gear to get something.

Now to answer a few questions.
There are deco items, if you get just a pan of cookies that are unnamed etc then you did it wrong, you need to go back and get the same reward gem that you used to get your first prize in order to get the deco items.
The deco items are random so you have a chance of getting copies etc before you get them all.
None of the items will poof, unless of course you lose it or trash it etc.
I have never handed out temp gifts unless they are needed for the quest itself.

As for those of you who misunderstood, I am sorry you did not understand but it is set in stone the one you choose well the one you choose.
The robe is a new player items really, for a newbie it is a wonderful reward, the apron is something for your average player who has only been around a month or two etc.
I will not be trading items since I wrote the rules here and announced them in game very clearly.

To all of you, this event was a pleasure to put together and a big tray of cookies go to +Colibri who helped me so much with it and to +Veritas who helped out also.
While I hope the rewards are well liked, naturally what I really wanted was to give you all something to do in the spirit of the holidays.

Everyone have great holidays and lots of fun with friends and family.

The quest is really nice, I really enjoyed it.

There was just one problem, I didn't get the level point straight, and mainly because I ran in-game straight to the quest starting points and the NPCs wheren't so clear to me about that point.

The main point is just that it is quite clear that it was a mistake but imo it shouldn't be irrevesible. Beeing that seems very upsetting for me.

I would like to propose an option for the players who got the wrong difficulty for the reward, just make them kill five times as much as needed. I would do it pleasurely.

Come on GMs, me (and the other dumb heads who got it wrong) would appreciate it much.

Well thanks for the time,

Annalyse with care (all).

Happy Holidays ! 2012 (january) I will be getting my first GoC finnaly.

[quote="Fairis"]Someone on chat told me, that i can do all rewards ...yesterday all spots were full. I have done ball with "Royal Hive robe". Because there was some free spots.

I understand +Mochas text, that i can do 1 advenced quest and 1 minor ...So Royal robe is Minor(i think that) and i want Cape as a advenced..

Today i finnished ball and i want Cape... and received Cookies ...and someone told me that i can do only 1 piece of armor.

Why ? I can trash hive robe and do quest for cape again ? Or am I out of luck ?
Sorry, but this is stupid system...i am angry

Super fun Event.
Haven't been back for deco item ... yet ... so i have a few questions...

1.) Can we get deco stuff from every difficulty, other than the cookies i read about?
or
2.) Do we have to do the same difficulty for the deco?
and
3.) Can the [account bound] armors we win be used for our bio's?


Me and some friends will definitely be dead in there again, real soon.
Many Thanks Devs :D

Question:

Can we get the same deco items despite the difficulty level?

Or is it certain deco items for certain levels of difficulty, only?

The armor cannot be used by biopets and also can't be relayered.

The types of deco for repeating the quest is the same for all difficulties. There are 12 different deco pieces that can be obtained.

If you get the pan of cookies, that means you have repeated the quest, but not the same one as you did initially. For example, if you went for the apron at first, then the only way you will get the rare deco pieces is by repeating the apron collector.
