Gotta love the XHT, somehow I got more than double of reward points that I was expecting on my both accounts. Thank you anet, that's 1/4 of my obsidian armor costs I won't have to farm.

For what I saw prices remain the same thank god. There was this guy hopelessly trying to buy them at 1.5k each hoping others would follow.

I would assume the last Thursday of April, and if it is sooner it will be a pleasant surprise.

That new guy mentioned is a new collector in a cave somewhere in PRE, he trades 25 grawl necklaces for something, i havent been able to find out what he gives you. No one knows if hes permanent, linsey isnt answering that question. As for reward points, theyre bugged like every month, give it a while, both my accounts got 55 reward points, alot of people got either 0, 55, 80 or 105, so if you wait a few hours you should get the rest.

Regina just stated in Pre D1 that the new collector is permanent; for 5 grawl necklaces you get a Gift of the Huntsman; when opened, it gives 5 alcohol, sweets or party items...it's now on Wiki.

What utter tripe, adding more stuff to Pre and not touching the LDoA title.

I would them rather tackle, bugs and get them fixed then have bugs in the game. how ever i do agree that its a sad thing to post. they should keep bug reports for when they fix lots of bugs not just one.

If they thought this little add-on to the game was a good thing, they were mistaken. If you want to make a game better, don't just add worthless crap because you can.

I'm really quite close to finding other things to do in my freetime. I'm sure others can agree with me.

You mean you want stuff for free without working for it? Nonsense. How does adding something new to the game such as this suddenly turn your world upside down? Where the hell is your logic behind this one? Are you suddenly forced to farm? You're dreaming if you think many people are gonna agree with you on this one. Go find another game already and when you do you can go spread the word on how we're all A-holes for not agreeing with you.

Then go! Really, what's stopping you?

Adding something to the game which gives you stuff for free... is a bad thing... why? I'm not seeing it here, dude.

But yeah, buh bye?

Does it really bother you that much that they made a lil' surprise for the Pre Searing folks?

It says on the wiki that the items he collects changes daily. Which is neat.

Plus the secret garden is gorgeous, I'd never been there before. Such pretty scenery.

That sounds like a recipe for disaster. Find the most easily farmed or overfarmed collectible in Pre. Stock up. Wait for the day that he requests it. Big payout.

Is that how they improve storage? "We added another reason for you to hoard more stuff. Now your underused storage is even more usefull!"
