The biggest present I ever got was a few vials of poisons and 14000 gold, heh. I am the unluckiest person ever, I swear.
Haven't met any gnomes this year though, yet at least.

In presents, I've gotten a lot of palettes. But I can't make use of them, which is a pity. But eh, I'll find someone who can.

So, can these gnomes be found anywhere or just in certain places? And are they only on Prime? I never get anything from Ironbeard, so I'm hoping I can get something from them at least.

As far as I know, gnomes are found anywhere on prime that's not organisational territory. As for Ironbeard, I was standing half-AFK in front of the Serenwilde library (reading forum posts!) and when I checked back he had given me something. So... I guess if you stand around long enough he'll come to you.

That would be me. Three years playing, and nothing so far.

I've been playing IRE games since Aetolia was launched, and I've never gotten any of the random gifts in any of the games. Some of us just are not very lucky when it comes to die rolls.

I got five gifts last year. I won 3 of those pre domoth events and yet didn't win one domoth.

I wonder if Ironbeard has any manse fulcrux thingies. I sure would like one of those...

I gots 93 gnomish dingbatsies! I complains no more, never! I ain't no double negative!

Does anyone else, who hasn't received presents, think that Ironbeard is bugged against certain people?

Ironbeard has never given me anything. All I have gained is from searching out gnomes.

Meliana got a large amount last year.

He's only given me vials, but I got a bubble pipe last year from the gnomes.

How many gnomes at a time are there anyway? Right after seeing the green world message thingy, I searched roads, mountains, Tosha, Clarramore, Oleanvir, Blasted Lands, Moors, Inner Sea, Bondero, Sea of Despair, Spectre Isle, Balach, Snow Valley, Zoaka, Asylum, Presidio and Observatory, and still found none. Are there like 3 or 4 or is it just my usual complete lack of luck?

Sounds like you have my luck finding them!

I wish I could shout things in elfen

I noticed it already appears in my artifact list and has my mark. Do I not have to message a divine to have it made "mine" this time?

Oh, and I found it in Caoimhe Dell.

I still hate all of you. I found one. And I got cures.

Well I get to hate you more than you hate me, Casilu! I haven't gotten presents from either. So there! And Vendetta? Is that what you liked to be called? If so I'm calling you Mo. Anyways, Mo, better be safe than sorry. Make sure that the divine know about it.

I got 7 master palettes from Ironbeard. I'm kinda clueless as to if they are expensive or not?
