If that was the point, it seems a bit too little. 31 items isn't going to cut a huge overstock by much. Although I'm glad of that myself, because it means I don't have to lay hands on a massive overstock to do it! I've just been giving them vials.

I've been giving them left over needles. Heard some have just been giving them empty present packaging, so I don't think it'll be touching overstock.

Wow, empty presents work?

Ooh. 31, that's right. I was originally calculating for 21. BUT I suppose you can continue to get the acorn gifts well after you qualify for the artie gift.

Sylphas:

Not any more.

Quest seems to have been designed to take items out of the realm. Problem is, the empty Acorn presents after you unwrap them are the perfect items to give to the Nymph's so its a self repeating cycle after you give them the first item.

EDIT: Oh that's been changed eh?

It's still not going to do much. If you want items out of the game, you'd want to make the reward scale to comms used in that item, I'd think.

EDIT:

You quickly unwrap a present shaped like an acorn, which sprays glittering silver dust and cheerful confetti into the air, and excitedly store 571 ruby in your rift.

Well, I'm good for another 114 days of giving vials to nymphs, woo!

I'm clearing out my pack first, then I'll be giving them the empty vials as I finish converting to liquidrift...

I just hope the gnomes make a cameo--even if they don't bear gifts this year, do something else with them and Jolly Bundy--it's a Lusternia tradition. (I understand some of these promos are taking the place of those--this year there were Ice Devils instead of Atropos losing her souls--but since Solstice Gnomes have been a big part of the game--including part of the large story arc last year--I still want to see them.)

But I'm actually waiting for the big story arc to come to a head--for me that's the true "December Event". :)

I'm with you on still wanting Solstice Gnomes!

Solstice gnomes are Lusternian tradition.

No one's said they won't be making their rounds!

They'll be back with their usual cheer, of that I'm certain. *jingle jingle*

And their... better presents. Right, Right? Amirite?

No, this year the gnomes are freeloading a random item from our inventory as our gift to them when they show up. They figure its our turn to do the giving, those bastards!

Enyalida:

And their... better presents. Right, Right? Amirite?

Remember their debut in '04 - people hawking unmarked artis for credits, the shower of golden paintbrushes, the surfeit of changeling novices that suicided a week later? Be glad of your eggfeed pocketbelts!

Okay, when's it coming?!

...am all I'm gonna do is sweep up acorn shaped presents until Christmas?!

C'mon, I want to see Snow Tornados, Ice Hurricanes, 1000 Ice Devils all marching on the roads, unique plagues and challenges, human drama, quests, interesting things to do, villages changing and reacting to the situation, and working to console and inspire people during a crisis. I want to lose 12 levels before we're done! I want to see 200 people logged in during the climax.

...Okay I'm getting too excited right now!

...I'll shut up...

...I feel like a 8 year old waiting for Christmas...

Isn't expecting those two together a little... how to say it... unlikely?

Eventru:

Get cracking! Stop Teasing! Don't make me start thinking Lyreth was the brains behind all the events dude! :P

All I got going on right now is watching Hallmark Channel/Lifetime Network/ABC Family Christmas Specials/Movies. I want a little adventure--especially since Assassin's Creed: Revelations was too damn short. I turn 42 on the 21st, so I expect this even to be the equivalent of Life, the Universe, and Everything... :lol:

...but no pressure... ^_^

I was specifically thinking of Tully, not all the characters--I know how angry the demigods would be if they lost a level--for me losing a few levels is the sign of an epic event. Of course, this year I hope I have better survival rankings-I am omnitrans and at level 78. (No guild skills though). I better get some leather armor and get it batted to prepare.

Teehee, batted leather, so cute and squishy!

I'll bet the tailor will get such a surprise, having never had to bat leather in their life.

Just saying, people aren't gonna bother to log in for yet another event that kills you at random until the event finishes up sometime outside your timezone.
