hey, somebody took a shit in my anniversary cake

Phiarlan Mirror Cloak?

The people that I've run Partycrashers with rush to open chests first.
When they get the cloak they shift it to someone else.
They then laugh about taking a dump in your chest.

anyway....a while back they gave away 10 AS
their weekly free giveaways are more useful than most of these things

some used to be top items... once upon a time.

I'll probably end up taking the 100K XP... if I ever use it.

The thing that sucks is that once upon a time you got an anniversary cake for each and every character you had.
Nowadays you only get one per account...

Really?  You only need 375 and you can get 603 favor total.  You don't even need to run everything on EE anymore. 

Sigh.  You are talking about maybe 8 hours of game play.  Of some of the most popular content for ER leveling.

Fran swore on the locked thread on the ddo forums that he WAS NOT A CASUAL player. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Just because you have lots of gimped toons and some of them have been TR'ed does not make you a non-casual player.

Casual is not a defined by the amount of time you play... but rather how you approach it.   If you can't concentrate long enough to get 375 Purple Knight favor on one toon, then you are a casual player.

I think the Blade of the Inquisition would be useful to a lot of folks running heroic low-level Reaper mode @ ml 4 with Ghost Touch.

By folks I mean those who either sold to vendor or destroyed for the inventory space.

Great low level twinkage, but easily obtainable running the chain 1-2 times or replicating with CC.
    Quote:
Phiarlan Mirror Cloak
Useful for 1 level on a TR and drop like candy. Do not take.
    Quote:
Noxious Fang
I've played the carnival quite a bit, never personally gotten this to drop. The epic version used to be the best thrower in the game. Still quite usable by an assassin ER. I might take this.
    Quote:
Kron'zek's Cruelty
Epic version is pretty good twinkage on a dex tempest ER. I won't take this.

Carnifex
Bast in slot on a THF TR level 4-9. Some people still bitch that they can never get this to drop, now's your chance. I've already got a couple.

Garbage. Do not take.

Goggles of Time-Sensing
Nice TR clicky. Got mine for every character when Chrono gave a full list every completion. Still easily obtained.
    Quote:
Charged Gauntlets
TR melee twinkage. Got mine when Chrono gave a full list every completion. Still easily obtained.

You can get this on the AH. For cheap.

Sweet ass bastard sword. I've never gotten it to drop. I might take this.

Very useful. You can carry an epic one and a heroic one as well. I already have a bunch. The drop rate is not crazy.

UMD swap twink. Not a common drop, but there are better options.

Garbage.

Nope.

Solid monk twink, but I can't remember the last time this DIDN't drop.

A good bow for TRing or damage screenshots

Search twink for your trapper. Maybe a mirror target.

Pretty awesome actually. And that quest is not often run and they don't always do the optional when they do run it.

Awesome, but easy to farm.

Gift analysis


I mostly agree.  Some exceptions:

Carnifex - End reward.  The people who bitch about never getting this to drop don't run the chain I guess.  It's not guaranteed, but you should see it if you run the chain ~3 times.

Spinal Tap - Long ass run in a quest I don't like much for a rare drop.  Decent pick.

Mask of Comedy - Epic version is obsolete.  Stats Mask/CC  stat 6/9 spell power 90/111 potency 52/73 lore 6/9.  So it's good for 3 clickies of good hope/rest?

Bow of Sinew - Silver Longbow is better

Dreamspitter - Also has greater evil outsider bane for reapers, so plus/plus ooze/reaper weapon.

Sustaining Symbiont - Actually not bad as a HP item.  The hilarity here is that the suppress madness effect is bugged for a good half of the items.  So happy buggy anniversary present, yo?

Earthshatter Warhammer - Fun but yes.  :-P  I ransacked that run a couple times trying for this so this might be one of my picks.

Vim and Vigor - Doesn't this drop from the dance off at the end, so not an optional?  And who wants to farm terminal delirium for this or anything?  GH and a green slot is nice, might be a pick.

10x Commendation of Heroism - Last year I took this on a bank mule.  Xfer over gianthold relics and buy your augments with that character so the characters you play can pick something else.  This year with the 2/account, not so much.


Last year:  One gift per character.  One free character slot.  Included citw and von6 drops in the list.
This year: 2 gifts per account (although most(all?) are bta).  Nothing above level ~18.

Seems like between reaper XP and this gift list they really do want everyone to just ride the TR train and forget about end game play.
  

No, let me be Frank.

Certainly a few nice items on the list, but generally pretty garbage stuff. They did so much better last year...
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.
