IRE Asks: What was your favourite promo item?

Wheel of Fortune has been my favorite, whenever it has been available.

Credits and lessons were really useful, but my favourites are the artefact promotions. I really liked the vial, pipe and especially the stocking from last Logosmas. What I did not like that much are the limited use artefacts, like the double xp orb (that one wasn't an artefact, it decayed. Sadly, I still had about five charges left when it poofed) or the clover with only four uses. I only used one leaf so far and then decided to save the remaining ones. Same with the compass, though I didn't even use it once so far, and I'll probably keep telling myself that the right time to use it is still ahead. Another aspect I like is that those playing since a long time are rewarded with a wide array of exotic items.

Of course, this Logosmas promotion was great as well, the Alehouse is a great place to explore, even without finding something. I'm already looking forward to the next promotion!

For 21 days we had to go and find Stian in the most random and hard-to-find places I mean at one point he would be all the way in Orilla (A whole continent away) and I thought well damn this present is gonna be so worth it... when we got the compasses I was highly disappointed. It's so pointless and only has 10 uses? People to this day still don't even know what it's uses are. If I had known that this would be the promo gift I would not have bothered finding stian and although i did learn more from the experience... NOT WORTH IT! Anyway I must say I do enjoy the 10 lessons a day most and the credits... but the silver stocking artefact is one of the bestest ever! I am liking this new magical flagon too! It's like doing a quest and there is a chance of finding something all the time... very original and worth having... it could serve more than one purpose too! You could use it once a month as a free portal to the mainland... say now you are stuck at sea on someone elses ship with nowhere to go... you could use your flagon I bet! All in all I remember a time when there were no promos at all! So I am very grateful that we get free stuff or else I might have lost interest a while back...

The wheel is almost always best...though i imagine now that i'm 100, xp and xp boon will both be pretty worthless, as will chalices, though thats like 20 cr a pop...so wheel...

daily lessons or daily credits

I think it has to be the wheel,well the first one anyways,the second one was.. let's say less rewarding.It would be awesome if we could get one like the one in aetolia where you can get artefact vials or permanent tattoos!Even with it's negative spins it still rocks.

Daily credits are probably the most useful, but that's like giving someone a giftcard for christmas. They can get what they want, mostly they won't complain (Unless they're married to you or something) but it is still really boring.

I really wish I kept the stocking I got last year, but it was on a newbie character who I found really boring. The wheel of chaos was probably my favourite promo, but I couldn't be bothered to collect curios (The limited edition promo items winnable from Lusternia's wheel) so that doesn't really answer the question about favourite promo items. So in reality, the only promo item I've got so far that I'm likely to keep (other than credits) is the transplanar snowglobe from the most recent promo. I don't really have any reason to spend a lot of time at the tree of trees though, so I mostly just use it to get to the aetherplex really quickly. (I don't have any other transplanar artifacts)

Gotta say, I love the wheel the best. Random things for the whole month. It's pretty awesome. And the unique items!

I love anything. :D

The riftkey that Midkemians just got is cool. Could be tweaked a bit, though.

The stocking is amazing, though I really like the snowglobe. I've never explored aetherspace but this is inspiration to get a ship.

I like those 21 day promos where you end up getting something interesting and unique.

I experienced the lessons, the credit and the wheel of fortune. I liked them all, but I am a newbie so I do not know that much. I skipped the stocking, though.

I've missed all the mentioned promos. I loved hunting the gnomes recently though.

I loved/Hated the Wheel! I died a few times and the worse was being teleported away because someone else spun the Wheel, but I did get some great shinies! I hated the 21 day promo where I had to hunt wompus's. I dies so many times and then the item only has a 10 use limit and it only restores endurance and wisdom which is hardly ever an issue for me. I wouldn't have done it exspaielly since the other 2 chores where much, much, much easier to accomplish that the reanimation one!

I do likethe credit for a post and the 10 lessons a day where nice too!

So hard to choose! I love them all! The wheel is probably my favorite though!

I think my favorite promotion was the Globes. They always gave you the most random of things, credits, gold, artefact pets, artefact vials, Mayan crowns, friendship permits etc. I loved them so much.

free credits and lessons

lessons or free credit

Wheel of Fortune!

wheel of fortune and the stocking

The credit per day

Silver stocking and the wheel of fortune are my favourites.

I'm in love with the 10 lessons a day as well as the Wheel. 

I have loved my artie vials, myself

I liked the $5 mystery orbs.

^ Is where it's at as a Mhun with racial digging.

I loved the wheel. I got an arte pipe and a couple crowns from it last time.

I didn't even know about the globe promotion :)

Yeah, actually I didn't find out about the December login promotion until December 15th! :/

And down with artifact drop days. Death to arti drops.

10 lessons / day, or the Wheel.

The snowglobe is a nice little convenient way to get back to my manse after a long day of bashing, so I really do love that. The stocking from last year was probably second best, since it gives free stuff every now and again.

ten lessons / credits per day

well I was hoping to get arties from the ironbeard promo, but I've seen him in one place for three hours doing nothing...he even gave me a gift that was empty

I like the wheel and everyone's favorite drunken dwarf!

I just found out that the free artefact pipe we received could be traded in for credits... I totally traded it in and it is so worth the lessons rather! Either have 3 arte pipes or it would be pointless right?

.

pet hate, xp bonus :(

Honestly never bought one, but would try one out in the future

to finding out what the next month's promo will be!

I liked the exp boosts also while I was learning veneration and before that when trying to become a demigod.

is best promo

Loved credits and lessons and I enjoyed the wheel too. 
:) 

wheel it is for me too!

weekrank was awesome too

Give me the Wheel of Awesomeness! I like dying, I like artefact tattoo tokens, I like unleashing the sandman on Delos! Bring it on! BIIIIIG MONEY!

Free credits and lessons are always good to me.

I've changed my mind, this current promo is most awesome.

This December's promo item is kind of nice. Not that useful to me, but very neat, and for a lower-level character the few hundred gold you can get there many days would be a pretty good return on the time.

The wheel was nice, I enjoyed it too.

Current one

I like free stuff too!

.

I missed the stocking. Sob

So much love to the wheel of fates. Arti vials and pipes for free bound credit tradeins? Whole level ups? Hells yes.

credits, lessons, crowns, artie pipe/vial were the ones I liked best

Definately the wheel :)

I only like the wheel best when it gives me experiance. The current promo is better.

I loved the Wheel.

currently i am enjoying the daily exp increse bonus

cool deck please

The wheel is neat and I also like the mayan crowns one since i'm curious to see what new items come to the Shop of wonders. Auctions are fun for that matter as well. Last month's flagon was pretty great! Also made up for the fact that I couldn't find any pristine snowflakes anywhere or get even one visit from Ironbeard.

Free credits are always great - I also think granting a free language (or 76 free language lessons at no charge, to be spent however you want) or access to one of the "dead" languages (like Vertani) through a quest like the Tsol'dasi language would be max cool! 

yep

My favourite is probably the Wheel, not just because the prizes were bigger (than, say, gnomes) but also because I liked that the prizes were varied.

One of the issues with gnomes is that they overfill your rift, so if you outrift something that you are overcapacity on, you can't put the extra back in the rift.

Snowglobe by far.

Except we only got it once so I want another one please So I can actually use them? KKthnxbai

I think my number one favorite was the Wheel, followed very closely by the Stocking, and I only say the stocking second because I hate getting the heavy piece of cake....lol, and thirdly I really enjoyed going and looking for the magical snowflakes that melted into something nifty

free credits

Personally, I preferred the xp bonus and truefavor promotions!

I'm really enjoying this experience promo

As a non dragon, any exp event.

Would be my very first promo item ever yes.

I'm enjoying the current bonus exp! Though I am still gaining extremely slowly it would seem, to me :( At least it must be faster than usual

had to be the best. But I wouldn't mind more crit clovers!

Gotta love the bonus to purchased credits!

I rather enjoyed getting the artefact pipe a while back.

I love the Ishapmas stockings we got last year.  so far that whas the only somewhat useful item for me.

This thing rocks. The only thing I would change is stopping the wights from running after every hit *mutter*

My favorite promo was the facebook promo, I transcended 3 skills and got an artifact with that...I miss it :(

Best. Present. Ever.

Every Realm! Always awesome...though my Consanguine in Aetolia seems to have faaar more luck than any of my other chars :<

Good stuff.

Yes, credits would have to be the winning promo for me, though I got a stocking once, w00t!
