Claim your prizes before its too late!

[AJ11]

Just read in the latest editorial that the prize shop will close any day now for the Altador Cup prizes to be claimed from last year!

 

If like me you still have prizes to claim, make sure you go and claim them quickly, I think there is just a couple of days to go. I didnt know there was a time limit so glad I found out in time

Thank you so much for the reminder! I had no idea that I never picked up my prizes from last year - strange!

I picked what was left of my points and made a nice little profit by selling the items :D Thanks for the reminder!

so Im not the only one who had forgotten .... glad other people are collecting their goodies from last year too :)

Has anyone else made a NP-to-prize-point ratio for the prizes yet? I made one for the staff tourney shop, but the main shop has a lot more prizes. Here's the one for the Staff Tourney:

 

Item PP NP NP/PP

jellybeans 1 7 7.00 food

slice cake 25 200 8.00 food

ring toss 100 100 1.00 toy

forkful 250 800 3.20 wear

moehog 400 1500 3.75 wear

potion 1000 4000 4.00 intelligence

book 3500 10000 2.86 book

wig 7000 17000 2.43 wear

kit 11000 5000 0.45 toy

contacts 15000 53000 3.53 wear

*The higher the NP/PP ratio, the better in terms of resale. Those are the current prizes (as of two days ago, anyway).

Thank you for the reminder!

 

Someone on the Neo-boards a couple weeks ago posted a list of links to all the Prize shops that are still accessible. I was shocked to find how many points I had sitting around from the various Events/Wars/Etc. over the years. I was able to pick up some nice treats!

 

If I can find that list again I will add it to this reply...it really was handy!

 

Cheers!

So as usual, I'm waiting to the very last minute to compile my prize chart and figure out what to buy.

 

A couple of questions regarding the weapons: 1) The battlepedia entry on the thrown slushie cup says it's a freezer, but that the log doesn't say that it froze. Does this thing actually do anything? Does it actually stop the opponent from attacking? If so, is it 100% effective? (I just noticed that it's single-use, so not a great weapon anyway... but if it were cheap enough, it might be useful for a key plot battle.)

 

2) What about the exploding clockwork yooyu? Is that any good? And is it single use (1 use and it's gone, like a muffin) or limited use (once per battle, like other bombs)? Both are listed, but it can't be both... and it makes a big difference in terms of long-term price.

I checked JN's IDB, Exploding clockwork yooyu replica deals 13-15 icons, single use. Thrown slushie cup is supposed to do 100% freeze, single use (no limit to the number you can equip). It could be overridden by 1P faerie abilities, though.
