    Just got killed by the slivven, they are obviously not safe.

    Please make them non-aggressive, you'll still get people hunting them. Why make something which stops people having fun in your game.

    I couldn't help but notice that the reskinned tinderboxes have a dingbat price. Is there a reason behind this?

  • The reskinned tinderboxes have a credit price, not dingbat price. The ones with a dingbat price are the message pixies that Siam is so excited about.

    Oh, right. Never mind :/

  • Would it be possible to have the looks of the aethergoop vials transferable on existing vials? Cost for those should probably be lower than the regular 10 goop too, as a vial is just 8. One or two seems a fair price. I want to buy one extra vial with my quest goop, but I do not want to have one different looking vial in my collection. And I love the goop vial looks.

    It's worth emailing Artifacts@Lusternia.com to ask.

    I paid 100cr to get my tinderbox set to non-decay & resetting, and now there are things that are just 2 aethergoop (which are frankly far, far cheaper).  I am a little bummed by that, but @Estarra is letting me pay 2 aethergoop to convert it over and keep its ID#, so at least that will be cool.  In the meantime at least, I had a tinderbox that I did not have to remake!

  • Just to clarify, because I know this was mentioned earlier in the thread, but can I hold onto my 15 aethergoop and when I buy a nose in a month or two, reskin it into a snobby snoot?

    I would recommend that someone with the proper privileges look over bug 10463. I won't explain here so there's no abuse involved. It might definitely be worth fixing soonish, though.

  • Just got a really pleasant surprise after completing the aethergoop quest, as I thought I would be receiving 10 for it (must have got confused with the amount of slivvens), but magically I received 15, so now I can get my nose and a fire crystal!!

    Thanks Lusternia :D
    • a wolf's snout                        
    • a jar of ravenous shadowfire   
    • a shadow-bound pixie          

    The wolf's snout was a natural choice. I embarrassingly use my pig's snout all the time, and the wolf is a much better choice for a lobo :D I no longer look ridiculous...

    The addition of 2 and 3 gloop items meant that I could really take full advantage of the promo. I especially love the jar, as now I can light my smoke wreathed pipe all the time!

    I have no current plans to purchase credits to qualify for additional aethergoop. However, I still have my eyes on a re-skin on my faerie wings purely for cosmetic reasons: they are badass!

    • a pair of ebon bat wings

    Is it possible to pay a credit cost for description customization to change my faerie wings into bat wings, or are these descs protected under some "limited item/event" clause? 

    Also, will there the possibility for another gloop quest a year from now, or later open gloop to market transfer like dingbats? I'm trying to figure out the best course of action... Suggestions?

    I think the concept of it is amazing, and I hope it sticks around. I'm sort of hoping there's a semi-permanent quest put in place to earn some goop for future customisations. As it stands, I don't think my finances are going to allow any credit purchases this month, which is why I was hoping someone might take me up on my thread about purchasing their goop.

    Because I love last minute additions, dirigable equivalent items that are customized as the mail delivery thing of each org.

    Is Aethergoop bound to the character it's bought on, or is it shared between all your characters?

    Bound, it looks to me. I haven't seen any way to transfer it.
  • ShaddusShaddus , the Leper Messiah Outside your window.
    Alright. I just wasn't sure if it was a shared pool, or bound to that person.

    My only real complaint for this promotion is that you got a tiny amount of aethergoop for purchasing credits.
  • ShaddusShaddus , the Leper Messiah Outside your window.
    Maybe we can put goop in presents/curio packages?

    50% chance of pulling goop from a present/package. 80% chance of being 1, 10%chance of 2-5, 7% chance of 6-20, 3% chance of 30 or more.

    Looking at the goop:credit ratio, what do you expect?  You basically get 7% worth of credits in goop per 500 credits purchased.  Coupled with an elite membership, you're ending up with an extra 17% worth of "credits" in some shape or another.  Not quite as awesome as a credit sale, but for a promotion, this has been one of my favorites in a long, long time.

    Eh, I liked the goop concept and items and wanted to a way to get goop directly (would have ponied up cash for this probably) but without buying more credits.

    Did the slivven quest but otherwise sat out of the promotion because of that.

    You are holding:
    "jar119860"                             a jar of moonflame fireflies

    You have nothing in your inventory capable of starting a fire.



    am I missing something here?

    The fireflies are on strike for higher wages - you should speak to their union representative and try to hammer out an equitable collective bargaining agreement.

    For everyone who wanted to be able to buy aethergoop directly:
    ANNOUNCE NEWS #2345
    Date: 7/1/2014 at 0:20
    From: Estarra the Eternal
    To  : Everyone
    Subj: Jars of Aethergoop!

    Throughout the month of July, you will be able to purchase aethergoop
    directly in jars! The jars also incongruously contain Czigany coins!
    (We're not sure how that happened.) These are available on the website
    under "artifact packages": http://www.lusternia.com/Credits

    Further, the slimed slivven have moved from Avechna's Peak to the
    Northern Mountains! Again, if you turn 10 slivven into Professor Gargle
    von Fixit, you will complete a daily quest! Complete the quest for 21
    days in July, and you will receive 15 refined aethergoop!

    See HELP AETHERGOOP if you need a reminder on what this stuff is! We'll
    be adding even more items throughout the month, so keep an eye out!

     For everyone else, more aethergoop from killing slivvens! Woo!
