Heh, no sorry, you can only get kissed one at a time!

Just rack up 300% worth of achievements and then bust one out.. And save it for a double xp weekend. Instant levels!

Awesome, buyable demitrain. Onward hoooo.

..but the spoon helps the diner, not the chef!

(Though I suppose the chef also dines, but no more so than everyone else?)

Aoife's a tailor/enchanter, and the artifact description isn't really clear that it doesn't affect the cooking/herofete process, but the eating process.

For $10 a day, they can have it as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, I recently bought one of those for Altana and I'm rather disappointed to find out its (lack of) effect. It's even listed as a trade artifact. How in the world does this help a person's trade?

Many trade artifacts are of no value at all to the crafter: the pantograph, for instance. (And that's not even counting how once you have something like Gloves of Mastery everyone assumes they're going to get all the savings it brings, or at least most of it.) Still, it could be clearer. A few people have asked if they could borrow mine when infusing and were disappointed that it wouldn't help.

Well Artisans aren't exactly given a whole lot of perks to begin with, Lendren

But yes, if the spoon is only good for the consumer and not the cook, maybe it should be listed elsewhere, or tweaked.

So I'm looking at the monk package, but I already own level 2 equivalent of two of the three artifacts as part of the package. Can I get a 100% credit refund on those, or do I have to trade them in and get the 66% refund?

I'm no admin, but I'd say 66% refund. Why would you buy a package when you already have two of the three? (Because you want the 100% refunds, obviously, but other than that, it seems silly.)

Well, no. It's because I'm probably going monk, so I could either buy the warrior package and sell the 2 runes I can't use, or buy the monk package and ask for a 100% refund.

I'm not going to buy anything if I can't get 100% of the credits, so we'll see.

Edit: The reason for this is so I can buy the lvl3 runes with the extra credits I have sitting on me

Does this work?

That is rather confusing and I think backwards?

nvm I think I get it now

I was confused about it too but there was a post about it and I seem to remember Estarra saying something about this applying to this sale, but I couldn't for the life of me remember.

Guess I'll wait for confirmation of it from my issue before going forward.

Okay, upon further reading...

Subj: Dingbat Tradeins and Artifact Substitutions!

Two new features have been added:

o You can now trade-in all dingbat items at 2/3 value for sticky
dingbats. (There was a bug that allowed trading in dingbat items for
bound credits but that has been fixed and is no longer possible.) Sticky
dingbats work like normal dingbats except they cannot be transferred.
Syntax: ARTIFACT TRADEIN

o If you happen to have an artifact that is an upgraded version of
another artifact you own, you can substitute the lower version for full
value in bound credits. For example, if you purchase a Cosmic Knight
Rune (like for an artifact package!) and already have a Puissant Knight
Rune, you can substitute the runes which will place the Cosmic Knight
Rune wherever the Puissant Knight Rune is and give you a refund in bound
credits refund for the full value of the Puissant Knight Rune.
Syntax: ARTIFACT SUBSTITUTE

If the runes you own are already attached to a weapon that isn't your monk weapon, you won't be able to get a 100% refund. If they're not, you might be able to attach them to your monk weapon, then "substitute" them for the runes you got in the package to get a 100% refund. It just depends whether or not the code lets you swap out identical level runes or not.

*sigh* last artifacts I'm getting, I swear, are the font and the symbol for Ongaku. Srsly. No more after that. If I buy anymore, I'm going to commit seppuku.

Not really...

I bet you've said that a few times already

Yes.

I can't help it, this sale is so awesome!
