Everyone knows the rewards kind of suck to do quests you've done before. It's free money at the cost of time, only difference between this and Raptor Farming is that raptor farming gives you more money. To break the circle of lameness I have a few ideas on what to add to Zaishen Rewards. Don't QQ about my artwork!
The 100+ gold coins seem like much, but if you have no life, 10 characters that beat the game, do all of the zquests once on every character, all the way to this day you will have 100 gold coins right now. After that rant lets get to the ideas.

List:
Destroyer Summoning Stone
Titan Summoning Stone
Tormented Summoning Stone
Skeleton Army Summoning Stone
Everlasting Expert Salvage Kit

Everlasting Destroyer Summoning Stone
Everlasting Titan Summoning Stone
Everlasting Tormented Summoning Stone
Everlasting Skeleton Army Summoning Stone

I'd like to see more high end gold zcoin stuff to be able to lower heavy equipment pack cost while maintaining active participation in zquests for obtaining items beyond equip packs.

But everlating salvage and id kits would need to cost more z coins.

I'm not a fan of summoning stones.

I like:
Gold coins for everlasting tonics and summoning stones.
I like the everlasting salvage and identification kits.

I don't like:
% chances. Don't need them. And they sound ridiculous.
(This goes for the mini bag as well)

The % chances are to up game play a little. 1 out of 20 times you use a titan stone you might have 2 titans . 1 out of 33 times you can use the stone again etc. The % chances are not going to be in text descriptions.

You will be surprised how a game of chance will go. (locked chests?)

Hmm very interesting ideas, i like all of your summoning stone ideas, but not the double destroyers. One is enough IMO. The everlasting salvage kit i love! How come you missed out the everlasting ID kit? I'd love that too.

The lucky mini bag is an interesting idea and i do like the sounds of it too.

".4% Chance for 250 Zaishen Keys" Hmm, i know the chance is pathetically small, but i still think it should be something like 50zkeys.

I agree that there should be some funky fo shizzle for gold coins, I would like to see armour/accessories. For example, 100 gold coins gets you angel or fell wings.

I like the ID kit and Salvage kt ideas, but they'd have to be even more costly then 25 and 35, more like 50 or more. The tonic being used in pvp is bad. The stones that summon multiple things and have no sickness limitations are bad, just make them like the imp stone but useable at any level, and they'd need to be cheaper, since most stone monsters fail anyway no point in wasting 100-200+ gold zoins on em....

As long as all these special effects don't take activity in PvP areas as to distract/obstruct playing then I'm okay with it. (pretty much as long as it doesn't affect gameplay)

The everlasting id and salvage kits seem awesome, but i'm quite iffy on everlasting summoning stones.

The everlasting salavage kits and id kits looks fun but way overpowered. Never have to buy the normal ones for 500g-2k.

I will sign for anything that doesnt mess up PvP either, even though I don't play it, you must be reasonable. The everlastings would be cool, but not really needed. The minipet bag is also unsigned for. Minipets are a good flow of currency, especially 3rd Years and 4th Years. The everlasting lockpicks and kits are definatly bad, as most gold sinks are from these items. The everlasting stones would be cool, but it is another good sink and would make it too overpowered. Overall, not signed, this game is ment for an entertaining challenge, not Godmode on the PS2.

Note:
These comments are on the items, not the cost

Destroyer Summoning Stone - 8 levels above AND 2 of them is OP'd for PvE, more balance less imbalance please... remove first bonus... (add second to all summoning stones)

Everlasting Salvage Kit - yes please

Titan Summoning Stone - Either prevent the lower summons (like Hands/Fists of the Titans) or same level. MUST cause Summoning Sickness. Remove first bonus...

Everlasting Identification Kit - yes please

Everlasting Zaishen Tonic - Linsey has said why they did not add an Everlasting Zaishen Tonic or Everlasting Mysterious Tonic. "Don't get the form you want, rezone and re-use... rather pointless with a random form." - something along those lines. And it makes sense.

Everlasting PvP Priest Tonic - first need a Priest Tonic....

Everlasting Zaishen Summoning Stone - remove that bonus...

Everlasting Destroyer Summoning Stone - Same as Destroyer Summoning Stone, remove that bonus...

Everlasting Titan Summoning Stone - Same as Titan Summoning Stone, remove that bonus...

Lucky Mini Bag - don't think that last option is possible. Instead have a .01% of any of the non-ingame non-birthday minis. And reduce the Zkeys for the .4% as well... 100 zkeys MAX, preferably 50 zkeys. If someone gets that 250 zkeys, the market for them will plumet for the most part, if s/he sells... Also, increase the price. A chance to get a year 4 on a not even year 1 character is worth more than 10 gold coins imo.

I have nothing against new items that share the same principles of others.

But the costs need to change, and you're changing how items work, NO WAY to that *cough summoning stones cough*. I was tempted to respond like ajc2123, but I went kind.

If you want to add game-breaking items, make them worth a LOT more. I mean a LOT.

Make PvE a little harder, with PvE-only skills and summoning stones, if you don't h/h everything, it's really easy. The "squishy" sin profession of mine - no perma sf - has been my title character and has been breezing through 90% of PvE, Normal and Hard Mode. Again, no use of shadow form for the stuff.

I don't like the idea of everlasting summoning stones, ID kits, and salvage kits. What we have right now is fine.

Also no to a PvP tonic.

Lucky Mini Bag is a neat idea. A Lucky Everlasting Tonic Bag would work better than a Zaishen Everlasting Tonic.

I hate having to store 4 super salvage kits/ID. Keep buying them when you run out.

No PvP tonic? Is it because... no? Size won't matter... If you going to QQ about size, then say hello to rainbow phoenix. (BTW, he doesn't like anyone)

I guess I'm removing bonus to.

Err a lot of the penalties such as not being able to use tonics and PvP and summoning sickness are there for a reason. Don't mess with them.

A few good ideas, mainly junk tbh. I do like the salvage kits and the golden LP though, but perhaps reduce the chance on the LP.

Yes, I'm going to put back summoning sickness so you don't spam summons each time one dies.

Size is why they (live team) didn't allow M.O.X. to be in PvP - along with inablity to show the weapon *which some tonics cause*.

It's because unless you can somehow manage to play at 100% effectiveness while spamming tab constantly, how a person looks, what weapons they are using, and their animations (all change when in a tonic) help identify what is going on. This is why tonics are disabled in PvP.

Otherwise I like most of them if you fix them as suggested, except for the everlasting kits, I don't like those.

The armour stuff shouldn't have too high a cost, otherwise not many peopel would bother, I know I sure as hell wouldn't. Unless it was a pair of wings...I'd go up to 80 gold coins for them.

i like the idea of more items but the everlasting salvage kits and id kits i dont care for those or the everlasting summoning stones. the reason on the stones its hard to remember to use the ones i got before they become so stacked. and the kits and id kits i just dont think there should be an everlasting of those maybe an even bigger pack then what you can get but not an everlasting ones

50 gold Zcoins is a price waaaaay high considering how slow to get they are doing only the two PvE quests every day, and your prices go faaaaaaaar beyond any scale.

The only one of your prices that is correct is the Miniature egg.

Some of us don't want to compete with no-lifers for rewards.

No PvP Tonics.

Actually, the Everlasting Fireworks Crate(50 gold) is the most expensive in coin cost. Large Equip Packs are less than 1/3 of that at 15 gold Zoins.

Use for weird collectables was a good idea,but as mentioned it should be accessable to someone who doesn't spend their life waiting for the last minute until the zquests change so they can grind it on 12 chars. +1 for wings again.

Added wings, the only item that needs 3 campaigns.
Lowered price of... everything.
Also, the collectors items has no... collectors? So why not make them.

WTS Dark Claw! Only Dragon Liches drop them and there is only 2 in the entire game! Plus it costs 1k to get there! 5k!

Money drop

Also: Doing some math,
To get a everlasting skeleton army you will need 25 gold coins (250 silver) and 1500 limbs (250x5+250)... That would be... awesome. It's the only item that you can get without doing a single zquest, by buying stones off players.

For all, with a bit of tweaking for the actual values, except for the Everlasting Items. Guild Wars does need some more gold sinks.
