So, I love free stuff. Last year, I got a bubble pipe, which helped me, once I traded it in, to get to fabled herbs. Otherwise, I got pocketbelts with random stuff.

This year, I have heard of Ryleth getting some poisons. Who else has recieved stuff this year? Post it here!

A novice in Seren got a rune of dominion! Lucky people.

Got poisons today.

A geo novice got that last year, and traded it in, got enough to get his staff.

I got palettes.

Curatives! which I gave to a novice. I'm dreadfully unlucky this year

Haven't gotten anything yet. Is there any deciding factor as to when the dwarf comes around?

I received a pocketbelt with sparkleberry, goldtint, bluetint, weed, and spices. The sparkleberry and bluetint are very useful for me, actually.

No, it's TOTALLY random.

Meliana got a visit like 8 + times from him last year.

She was in double digits.

That was me!

Made me want to stay. I traded it in for a boatload of lessons though.

Good idea.

I heard rumors last year that Ironbeard would visit you more the longer you had clocked.

I don't think AFKing works, like you have to be around and active. I know Kharaen whined a storm when she clocked like, 3 days that week and had only got a visit from him once.

But, on the other hand, Meliana was around all the time, and got a ton of visits (but no artifacts).

Talkan got a bunch of vials and Malicia got a bunch of palettes. That's about it, really...

No, I think it's just totally random.

Unlike last year, I'm actually hoping he gives me tints. Once. I just need green and blue ones, really. Not the 6 times he visited me with absynthe, poison, tints and who knows what else.

What I really want? An artie. Oh, yes. Daedalion got like -three- last year, I got zip. Where's the balance, man?

I got visited once. Nerf bad luck.

Do not try and find the balance.
That's impossible.
Instead, only try to realize the truth.
There is no balance.

Then you will see that it is not the balance that is needed.
It is yourself.

Yeah, Xiel got like 3 artie bubble pipes last year...

I got artifact soap once, which I traded into get harvesting gloves.

I wouldn't mind a thing full of palettes though, can always use those as a Tarot user.

Here's hoping we all get lucky and get lots of nice artifacts, though!

Only artie I got from ironbeard last year was a bubble pipe.

I can't believe you traded in one of the most useful artifacts in the game for a trade you weren't even guaranteed to keep if you switched guilds... WHY.
