Step right up, ladies, gentlemen, and connoisseurs of all things candied and curious!
Tired of sagging toffees, moody molasses, or brittle bonbons that shatter hopes and teeth alike? Then allow me to introduce the Gnomic Candy Press, the finest confection-crafting contraption ever to clatter through the halls of invention, proudly brought to you by the ingenious burghal gnome duo of Fryc and Shives.
With one well-timed crank and a murmur of gumption, this dazzling device turns your stickiest dreams into sugared splendor. Simply drop in a foraged fruit or berry, add a bit of honey, give it a firm crank and a confident nod, and wumbo wambo, perfection is made!
Each model is hand-riveted, lightly enchanted, and rumored to contain a gear or two salvaged from a clock that never ran backward. Supplies are limited. Results are delightful. Fryc swears by it, Shives refuses to make candy without it, and I personally guarantee it will sweeten your day or mildly inconvenience someone else’s.
[Rumor Woods] TOURNEY VAULT: SPECIAL ITEM BUNDLE
The BattleVault system has been extended to Rumor Woods.
They are still 6,500 SimuCoins and will contain two 25-count markers, a bottle of 30 advanced spell up pills, locus oil, and two special items.
The first special item is a gnomic candy making machine. The Gnomic Candy Making Machine will allow you to put honey, fruit/berries from the foraging system, and a roller into the machine to create candy. Each application adds 10 candies to the machine’s dish. However, if you use a grot’tkel potion on it, then there is a 10% chance that the candy produced will be magical and can be imbedded with a spell. We have updated imbed to handle this special candy. Additionally, there will be store called Honeyed Gears that will allow you to search a pile for a random roller (over 300 design options), purchase a Bug’s on Parade, Jeeper’s Creepers, or Aquatic Life roller that allows you to PUSH one of those insects into it to change the design, a Candy-inator Jar, and a Roller-inator case (which will also hold 1 machine and up to 4 jars — but these do not stack).
The second special item is a patent of nobility that will award +50% base experience for 30 days! An update went into these from last time so you can REDEEM them outside of the event. They now display the expiration date, which is tied to the purchase date of your TOURNEY VAULT. This is how this item will work going forward at all events that offer an item bundle with BattleVaults.
JOUSTER NPC (MARKER EXCHANGE)
The NPC returns, the timer reduced to 10 minutes from 30 minutes like last Rumor Woods. You run the risk of losing a lot of experience if you die, so use this frequently at your own peril.
ANALYZE updates to the vaults.
This is a special item bundle for Rumor Woods. You can REDEEM it to get the following items:
- Two 25-entry markers (SimuCoin Store Event Entries – can be used for marker exchange w. NPC)
- a bottle of 30 advanced spell up pills.
- a gnomic candy making machine (character attuned on REDEEM)
- a patent of nobility (character attuned on REDEEM)
- Locus oil
- The candy making machine and patent will be character attuned to the character that REDEEMs this tourney vault.
The patent of nobility expires after the run they were purchased at.
