Fun but they r hard to find but still fun

Hi there, the sunflower wand quest is supposed to be a kinda hide and seek game to find the fairies hence they don't have markers to show their location.

Just wondered if you thought this was fun having to look around and find them or just annoying?

just my imput, i personally didnt do the quest bc i have no need for the wand but i know alot of people on mabon server who did it so i would say its a good addition to the game. but over all i have to say this last patch (the summer event) over all is alot of fun. i see it on the forums all the time where yall catch alot of crap for some stuff but you guys are definetly on the right path with the last few patches. keep up the good work and ty

Personally I like the quest the way it is, and in a few days the bottleneck will open up and people will be able to complete more easily. I like how they scamper from one hidey hole to the next!

As for the continual wands that get used in these holiday quests, I think that this is perhaps because wands are hands down the WORST weapons in the game (I am ok with this, just stating a fact) and these weapons are just meant for fun really - they are just a funny accessory that aren't really meant to be used for practical purposes. The upshot of these weapons is that, since they are not restricted to any class, they do give ALL players to option to have at least ONE medium range weapon in their arsenal, which may prove useful in some situations... What I think should be changed is to class all of these wands (both past and present, so Wand of Hallows and the Snowball one as well as Sunflower Wand) as NOVELTY WEAPONS. That way, people who can't afford or simply don't want to shell out gold for brooms/sleds/carpets are able to at least train that ability if they want to - not to mention be able to wield it with some proficiency if they do not have the Wand ability.


That being said, I do think that it would be wise to come up with a few new types of holiday weapons with some comedic effects, like perhaps a bow that shoots parsnips, a carrot dagger, a big fish that can be used as a bludgeon, or even a "Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch' or something like that (Monty Python anyone? )...

It's ok, still haven't collected all the kills i need yet. But shouldn't the sun flower wand be novelty?

yeah. i saw pouchreed run to the wall outside the graveyard, and i was helping a friend, and i had to root it to prevent it from escaping. you should make them run faster.
+infinity for your novelty item ideas. ablolutely brilliant

Thanks, i am pretty sure this issue has come up before and similar ideas have been suggested by myself and others so I don't want to take all the credit...

I should point out that if any such non-wand special event weapons are ever released, that they should have a similar damage range and overall effectiveness (which is to say, no very... after all they are generally super easy to get and should not be more powerful than the gear one starts to get in say, Shalemont!) Also, I feel that all such weapons should be classed as novelty weapons with NO class restriction. That way ALL players can collect entire sets of special event weapons and get a little use out of them, even if that use is just to get a laugh or have some fun.

Even though I usually play a mage, I still would want him to be able to swing a giant cod fish at my opponent to smite them!

the flower wand should shoot flowers. The rays are too boring. Also, I played a game and each weapon has a "special attack"

for example: lets say a staff of the moon'
dmg: 40
special attack: moonlight
no charges
no proc chances
just random

in this case, i think the special attack should be rays of the sun

It's much better quest than the recycling of the hat quest as for camping the spots make a group you all get the kill a lot more thought has obviously gone into the fairy quest and a few people have nicknamed the fairys issian bolt fairys because of how fast they run
