I already got some and I picked up an Elohora plushie.
Here's a description:
Brilliant waves of glorious blonde hair cascade about the plush form of the Lady
Elohora, her sapphire eyes shimmering brightly from soft, cloth features. A
small mouth has been sown on, a perpetual smile stitched in golden thread
against pallid skin. Thick plush limbs stick out of her torso, ending in soft,
doll-like hands - a thumb and a shapely mass, representing fingers. She's
clothed in a shimmering, white silk toga with golden clasps shaped like cherubs.
An ornate golden girdle holds fast about her waist, decorated with miniscule
carvings of simplistic, childlike angels.

Unless I have a windfall of cash, then chances are I won't be getting anything else.
A real shame, I could have made a fortune off of that Magic Candy Box.

I think the dolls are hot stuff. I got myself a Luna doll thanks to Halamir and it's awesome. I logged in after dinner just to play with my doll.

Long waves of silky black hair has been interwoven with flowers, resting atop
this plush effigy of Luna, the First of Maidens. Fashioned to look like a young
elfen lass, the figure of this Moon Avatar has been carefully tailored to be
slim and petite. A cheerful yellow shift sparkles and sways in the light, made
of the smoothest silk. Each of her limbs are made of a smooth cloth and dyed to
be a pale silvery colour, matching the two silver crescents on her forehead,
placed carefully on either side of a glittering silver disc. In her plush,
smooth hands she clutches a furry brown squirrel, the object of her attention
and cheerful grin.
It weighs 5 ounce(s).

could anyone post about what these things actually do or is the name the only information we have? (work fails :'()

I dunno the prices are too high. I would rather have a % credit boost in purchase


No one will buy 4000 credits to get a cubix like object that doesnt even go to limbo... just to get 2 entrance exits to UV... You can just buy a 500cr pyramid for that and tess back to prime after resetting every month. Nor do I see them really spending so much on a simple 40cr vial they can buy at the shops just because it was "unique"

If the cost of the higher end items were lower then yea you might see more... I just don't see it.

Although the straw hat would be useful and the little finger cuff thing sounds like fun but wasn't that like almost 1000cr worth of purchase too? I don't remember the cost on them


But the dolls and stuff are more reasonablly priced. And nifty little things... hell I might get a doll.... I want a Nifilhema dominatrix one though.

You dont get any more dingbats after 2000cr, you get the dingbats for the amount you buy, *and* all the previous amounts, so 2k credits would give you 300 dingbats (the max)

19.4.4 DINGBATS

WHAT ARE DINGBATS?
==================
Dingbats are a special currency only available during special promotional
campaigns. An example of a dingbat promotional campaign:

Credit Purchase Dingbat Value
------------------------------
100 15 dingbats
300 30 dingbats
500 30 dingbats
1000 75 dingbats
2000 150 dingbats

SHOWREWARDS will show you if a promotional campaign is active. While
a campaign is active, you will receive dingbats upon purchasing the amount
of credits indicated. Thus, if the campaign lasted one month and you
purchased a total of 2000 credits on one character during that month (it
could be either in one purchase or multiple purchases), you will receive
150+75+30+30+15 dingbats (total of 300 dingbats). The 300 dingbats would be
the maximum amount per character during a campaign. If you purchase more than
2000 credits on one character during a campaign, that character will NOT
receive any more dingbats (having reached the 300 dingbat ceiling).

COMBINE DINGBATS will create an item in your inventory with the total number
of dingbats that are available to you. Always execute this command upon
receiving dingbats.

Dingbats are non-transferrable.

Dingbats are considered OOC and you can use them to purchase gifts for others
with no restrictions.

If that is a prism with 2 extra exits... a real prsim then it would could be worth it since you are getting a free prism with a 2k credit purchase. But if it is just a thing that lets you get to UV... I don't know... I still think UV exits should be added to cubixes and those seals that people one.

If you were ever planning on getting 2k credits, now might be a good time as you then get a free gift. (BTW, 4k credits on one character will max out at 300 dingbats, BUT you can purchase 2k on two separate characters and have one gift a dingbat artifact to the other.)

We valuate the dingbat:credit to be 1:1, so the cubix-like object (instant teleport!) is valued at 300 credits, so this promotion is roughly equivalent to a 15% bonus sale. Yup, some people may prefer a bonus sale but others may appreciate getting the chance for unique items once in awhile.

If that's the case... why is there a maximum limit? You might as well just give 15% of each purchase in dingbats, and let people buy as many as they want.

Perhaps so the items can seem more rare. With only so many dingbats allowed you can only buy a certain amount of things.

Now don't get me wrong, the arties are very unique. And yeah I guess insta teleport would be a nice escape tool. I will probably not get it though. 2k credits is just alot although I need some new weapon artifacts soon. I would probably get the finger thing and get my uncannily accurate answers

Like:

Will Ildaudid get in trouble when Morgfyre gets his hands on him?

But she just said that you can make another character and buy the dingbats on that character, and then use them to buy a gift for your character. Thus, there IS no actual limit, just the added annoyance of making new characters.

All IRE games are doing a similar type promotion and some of the guidelines are fairly rigid. So while we pushed the envelope with our dingbatty approach to the promotion, we simply aren't allowed to offer 15% in dingbats for each sale. Think of this as testing the waters on a new idea (new for Lusternia anyway), and depending on how it works out, we may indeed approach it differently in the future.

*urges Estarra to have a few present give aways*

Ah. Seems like kind of an odd limit to attach, especially if it's possible to get around it like this. I guess it's not a bad idea (though the name is really awful for an actual product...)

Wow! Dingbats!! <3 I couldn't get past the name at first, but now I'm hooked. I want a fickle finger of the fates!

Dingbats is the best thing to call them.

Without question.

Yeah I have so many questions for that finger.... I wonder if you ask too many it just flips you off!


Like:

Will Luciden's brothel be shutdown by Lusternian police?

Will Nejii's ovaries drop and start to show strange enlargements in places and become a man again?

Will my stupid questions get me muted??

I would love that smoking pipe or candy box

And isn't there already an artifact (the purse) that's like the non-decay containers?

6537h, 5349m, 6151e, 10p, 27625en, 24655w elrxk<>-smoke pipe
What is it you wish to smoke?
6537h, 5349m, 6151e, 10p, 27625en, 24655w elrxk<>-ii pipe
You are wielding:
greatsword4863 : a star-crested greatsword of golden steel in your hands.
You are holding:
"pipe169623" a smoke wreathed pipe

Am I missing something?
