IRE Asks: Which MMO artefact would you find in your cereal?
In many American supermarkets, the cereal aisle can be a nightmare. Conflicts of morality, budgeting and health concerns (like how that one always cuts the roof of your mouth!) arise, leaving consumers walking up and down the aisle twelve times, trying to find the right combination of marshmallows and sales stickers. Sugar intake vs wallet outtake is serious business, and needs to be weighed accordingly.
But what if Iron Realms introduced a breakfast product? Made even sweeter with free prizes in every box? It could never happen.. or could it? No. Probably not. But in an alternate universe, it would totally cripple Tony the Tiger and 4x BBT him. Then it'd turn around and kai banish Count Chocula for eternity. It would be the true breakfast of champions.
If such a product hit the shelves at a supermarket near you, which artefact or other MMORPG prize would you hope to find in your box?

I like the idea of there
I like the idea of there always being one, with increasing chance the less value the artifact that. So a 1k artifact would be uber rare, but you could frequently get the cheap stuff like 10 credits worth. Or new artifacts only with the cereal, not too expensive, maybe collectors stuff of some kind like curios.

Crunchy credits
I think a completely new artifact would be something to really get breakfast attention. Maybe, since it is a breakfast prize it could be something that does have to to with the digestive system. An artifact with appetite control. It can make you never hunger or it can make your enemies hungry all the time. Or perhaps give them anorexia. Such afflictions already exist but care would have to be taken to ensure that game balance is not disturbed.

Everything but the soap bar
I'd expect something pretty random, too. Could range from collectible glass vials with pictures of the Gods to silver fangs or tokens. Wouldn't like the bar of soap near my cereals, though.
But...
If the prize comes wrapped up nicely in the box, I wouldn't mind. :3
Um
Shield of Absorption please

An artefact in a box of IRE cereal. That would kind of degrade the value of artefacts, unless said artefact is a globe of shifting hues that we used to buy to get random stuff from when opened.

I would like to find something which wasn't an already existing artefact, maybe something that wasn't some huge prize, but something that could be used by anyone. Orrrrr maybe a one time free customization for any item of your choosing? Possibly a little pet that doesn't die from a group of cereal box only pets.
Sometimes these articles are good...
... other times...
But seriously
All my credits have gone to skills so far. I'd be over the moon with any artefact. I've heard good things about buckawn's.
This could go somewhere...
We might not see an IRE cereal on our shelves in the near future, but wouldn't it be fun if there was a very small chance of pulling a small Sarapis figurine from our promotional stockings once in a while? Or other gods, at random intervals - collect them all!
I'll give you my spare Tecton for your Indrani. No trade-backs.
heh
do they still make the Clementius or is that one discontinued? Sorry I just got out of jail, again.
hmm..
I think some of the dolls would be very reasonable! But in reality it'd probably be like lips or a cowbell, which are nice since they are worth something, but not the greatest.
Dolls and stuff

hahaha, great!

I like Zhentarims idea
That can actually be applied in reality and work... it would make sense and it isn't giving away too much at a time... of course artefacts would never be given away in boxes of cereal... jeesh then we would all be buying cereal and no one would buy credits or artefacts hehe... anyway with being able to use a serial code on the box random credit prizes would work wonders.

I don't buy cereal without a cartoon mascot. It's a personal principle thing. So if you had a little cartoon Smith called "Phaestus-O's" or like a little Twilight called "Darkness Crunch" then I wouldn't care what came in it.

Phaestus Pebbles was one of the cereal tossed around the idea room.

My thoughts
Wait a minute, are we getting the artifact in-game or in real life?
If it was in-game
I would probably have to go with a sword that shouts "DIE <insert enemy race here>!!!" and nearly leap out of my hand towards the enemy whenever a city enemy enters my room or I enter their room. It would save my a LOT of trouble (would probably double my survival rate), and would probably be worth a lot of credits. Other than that I would want a teleportation orb for the trade-in credits (It cost about 1600 credits last time).
If it was in real life
I would have to go with the Tsuarani teleportation orb with 8 locations to choose from, if I had to choose one from what have previously appear. Either that or the top intelligence artifact. If I could win any artifact imaginable in real life I would have to go with an orb of infinite metamorphoses, allowing me to change into whatever I wanted as often as I wanted. That way I could turn into a bird, fly around for a while and then turn back to eat.
Actually, I change my mind. I
