Turned in 301 Gold Coins:
1 Item: Major Guild Renown Pot
0 Shar Cookies
Mostly Xzzzy, Kobold, and some other mostly useless cookies. Unreal.

Total waste of time to click.

Indeed, although no gold coins I did have ~1500+ copper and figured I'd blast through in the off chance they go to the next tier.  That only happened about 3 times out of 500+ clicks, and only to silver level cookies.  Chances of a turn in getting bounced out is pretty F'ing slim.

I wish this meant you got a giant WF Golem Pet that could literally throw Dwarves on Command.

I turned in another 400 coins I had on an alt. I got 2 broaches of shielding. It looks like they were so scared of the .001% of people who duped that they just decided to make Festivult stupid and not worth participating in.

What is more likely:

1) decided to make Festivult stupid and not worth participating in and spent resources to achieve EXTREME PREJUDICE

2) did a half-assed job testing the new barter-box turn-in and now it's broken because turbine

3) both 1 & 2

4) Turbine didn't change any of the drop rates - some people have crummy luck

5) Big Change of Guard!


Comparing some results from 2010 ( https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/291258-Gold-Coin-extras-Turning-Tracke... ) to Item's recent turn in of 3997 gold coins, I'm inclined to believe that it's 1, 2, and 5.

From Titan channel:
Quote:
3997 Gold coins

no tomes. 9x Pearl of Power X, 5x Brooch of Shielding, 5x Stone of Good Luck, 3x Dwarven Thrower, 3x Sun Blade, 2x Blood of Dragons BTA, 1x Anti-Mummy Elixir BTA, 1x Medium Guild Renown Elixir BTA, 1x +5 Green Steel Dwarven Waraxe, and 1x +5 Green Steel Light Hammer

33 special items total, .8%

they will probably congratulate themselves on how long they "kept it going" never able to see that it could have easily managed to keep itself going for far longer if they had just meddled far less drastically and with some semblance of an actual gameplan.

I got a BTC craftable trinket from ~50 gold

I'll wait a week or two hoping for a change/fix to the rewards before I turn in the rest of my coins.

Please use something like AutoMouseClick or AutoHotKey for bulk interactions with the barter boxes.

Everytime I read dwarven thrower, I rember a table in the Arsenal 2060 (Shadowrun 3.01D source book) regarding the damage of improvised throwing weapons. In particular the item "other metahuman". Cheesy
  

That's not opinion, that's science. And science is one cold hearted bitch with a 14 inch strap on.

0 Shar Cookies

Per the U20p1 Release Notes:
Quote:
Shar, Mistress of the Night Cookie
Available from Jolias Leftfield (Eveningstar Midwinter Festival Barter) (for 120 Motes of Winter).

Since Eveningstar Midwinter Festival isn't up yet, don't expect to see any Shar cookies.

I think I got that twice too (I started by turning in exactly 2000 gold coins and only had 1998 results, didn't see the error). Happen to screenshot the error?

My guess is that it was trying to award an unbound Greater Heart or something that doesn't exist anymore.
