And, with the present from Rika, buying a smidge more credits, I know have a Crumkindivia contrivance, I've always wanted one, yum yum

I must have been a good boy this year:

3 golden paintbrushes
1 flower pot
4 daggers of reincarnation
100 dingbats
100k gold
Assorted pocketbelts

I also gave away 4, but none of them had artifacts inside.

Of the last 16 presents, I gave away 14 and opened 2. Both of mine had paintbrushes, but only two of the ones I gave out had paintbrushes.

The Rikapressie I got was:
You quickly unwrap a twinkling white present, which sprays glittering silver dust and cheerful confetti into the air, and excitedly pull a dagger of reincarnation from within.

Mine had pocketbelts.


AGAIN.

To everyone who helped me influence: thank you.

Three words:
Prestige: Like royalty.

I gave away just one present, and that one had a paintbrush inside of it.

Can we get a notice when the gnome drops stop? I want to know when I can relax again.

So far:
Flower pot
Rune of Glassworking
Pocketbelt
I need a gnome magnet or something

Yep, been a great christmas in Lusternia so far. This is what I have gotten in the past few days from gnomes.

a golden paintbrush being held by Aleria
a dagger of reincarnation being held by Aleria
a clay flowerpot being held by Aleria
a dagger of reincarnation being held by Aleria
a golden paintbrush being held by Aleria
a shroud of shadows being held by Aleria
a golden paintbrush being held by Aleria
a fiery ruby ring being held by Aleria
a golden paintbrush being held by Aleria

Also found two gnomes equaling 192 dingies.

I want! Excellent haul.

So that's why Lusternia is teaming with people at the strangest of hours, when it usually is an empty wasteland.

Does Ironbeard come to guildhalls?

EDIT: Yeah, he comes. I got a pocketbelt with herbs, tints, eggs and sugar.

Dang.

He goes anywhere, including off Prime. I remember someone (Thoros?) got a present while raiding last year.

Gonna mug you now.

Final count:

60K
I think fifteen pocketbelts but I might have lost track...
Somewhere in the region of three or four hundred dingbats, I think I also lost track.
Two daggers of reincarnation.
Two paintbrushes
A plant pot
A bloodstone ring

Woooow... Who wants some riftables? I have LOTS... Especially beast stuff. And tints...

Maybe now I can get some real sleep.

My total haul was:

1 paintbrush
3 flower pots
1 pig nose
15 pocketbelts
70k gold

and a partridge in a pear tree.

I got:

several pocketbelts of goods
3 daggers
about 100k gold (from gnomes and ironbeard)
some dingbats
and Boots of Astral Jumping

Rave to Talan for giving me gifts during the start of gnomes

Didn't even know that a nose or boots were in gifts.

Of the two gifts I was given: 6 pocket belts. From the ones I gave away, also just pocket belts. The only one of the three gnomes I found and kept for myself was a paintbrush.

It's almost as if passing the gifts on reduce the value of the gift inside.

Me got pocketbelts with lots and lots of tints, but I already have more tints than I know to make use off.
