Now you've made me curious with your gaming blog remark! Why don't you just give it a try? I would certainly like to read it (also, I don't have Twitter and stuff). With the people you already know from reading their blogs and the NBI, I'm sure you'd be able to get it going pretty easily.<br /><br />I'm glad you like my blog, that certainly stimulates me to continue!Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-36314398485074009472012-05-11T08:54:30.235+02:002012-05-11T08:54:30.235+02:00Thanks, I read quite a few gaming blogs and maybe ...Thanks, I read quite a few gaming blogs and maybe one day I will have enough determination to create my own. Until then posting an odd silly screenshot on Twitter has to suffice :p<br /><br />The envelope quests was a GRIND. But it was like kind of addiction, you know, "what if..." this time. I wouldn't really have cared, if it weren't for the fact that having seen the mounts my bf had already pulled out (he's a festival junkie :p), I classified them as "not too shabby looking", and had to give it a try. I know there are people who are simply mount collectors and want to have as much mounts in game as they can, often without ever intending to use majority of them, but this ain't the case for me. Thus I wasn't really heart-broken when I managed to get only one mount for my main character. My other main was left with empty hands and, of course, low-level alts of classes I never intend to play (champion and hunter) have both horses and some spare ones in inventory :p Murphy's law in full effect. <br /><br />Anyway, in the end the GRIND got really tiring and I only did the quest with the characters I actually am playing or intend to play. The whole fuss with the exploiters also left a negative cloud over the whole thing, so I am so glad this particular festival is over :)<br /><br />Anyway, good luck with the blog, I like your style (both in writing and screenies).Rivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561804353287763337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-36582508710232406322012-05-10T19:03:46.555+02:002012-05-10T19:03:46.555+02:00Thanks for the heads up.

I did look around a bit in Bree (fountain, taxidermists, stable-masters), but couldn't find any token barterer myself. So perhaps they didn't leave one behind after all. Mind you, I'm known for my fail search skills...<br /><br />In the end I managed to get quite some marks as well. Totally agree with you there, so happy they made that change!Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-60505321104270567892012-05-10T18:59:13.026+02:002012-05-10T18:59:13.026+02:00Hi Riv, and welcome to my little blog.

Seems like you (both of you!) were a lot more lucky than I: I opened loads of gift boxes, but no sigils at all, only tokens and consumables. *sigh*<br /><br />I admire your perseverance at doing envelope quests. After a day or two on three characters, I couldn't set myself to do them ever again. The idea is fun, but the rewards were just so rare - and I refuse to spend any TP on stuff like that. Nice to hear your home is accordingly decorated now. :DRavanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-75734480538911160852012-05-10T06:47:36.537+02:002012-05-10T06:47:36.537+02:00I got a small pile of firework recipes (agree with...I got a small pile of firework recipes (agree with what you think about those), some sigils (maybe 4-5 in total?), a few relics (T6-7 if I remember correctly) and also one worn symbol of celebrimbor (so that was quite a lucky pull I guess). <br /><br />On the other hand, doing the envelope quest nearly every day with 8-9 characters means I had enough anniversary tokens to decorate my whole house. And the yard.Rivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561804353287763337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-26380747281233866682012-05-09T21:18:54.202+02:002012-05-09T21:18:54.202+02:00Apparently there will be one token barterer left i...Apparently there will be one token barterer left in Bree, near the taxidermy house, after the festival ends... or so I've been told!<br /><br />I gambled on a few boxes, got a couple of sigils and junk, but end the end turned the majority in for marks. I got quite a few from this, it's great!Lothiriethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12320905047246144507noreply@blogger.com
