Note: The Christmas Lotto is now live! Coming to the Holiday Price shop in patch 85 is the Christmas Lottery. Players can risk 100 holiday coins for a chance at a large random list of older, current, and new items. Even some things that can only be found via this method. Players can find this option in the Christmas Reward store at the bottom. Notes - Most of the rewards from the lottery are not blessed. - The event lobby will be open for players who want to use this feature in relative safety. (Sorry Thieves, this is a holiday coin sink, so need to encourage players to take the RNG risk) - There are 4 marble island houses available from this lottery. Should you win one of those you will be given a special ticket and a global server message.

The chance per 100 Hcoins spent on some of those categories is crazy! Rare Items - 8% - (11%) A Cerebus Statuette - 1 / 113.6 chance Epic Items - 2% - (4%) Crystal Deer Mask (Hue 1165) - 1 / 1250 chance Epic Items - 2% - (1%) Marble Island Tower/Large Keep - 1 / 5000 chance Very well done lottery system @Chris ,some of these items will be 1/1 or 1/2 on the server
By popular request I lowered the rates of the carpet dye tubs, and added a runebook dye tub to balance out the change. Various rates updated.
A lot of time was spent with the calculator on these. I've got some detailed tracking on the system to see how effective it is as a holiday coin sink. Going forward it is possible we create a much larger list of holiday (all) themed items and have a special raffle system for those. Yes some will be rare, but additionally these items will remain on the list for a long time. Items such as the marble houses are special surprises for some lucky player. They supersede the other rates until they are claimed. (So they do not affect or drag down your chances at other items once someone is lucky enough to get one). We will be open to player opinion as the system goes forward. But a common theme from years leading up to this is that small lottery options were very popular. And I think the volunteers did a great job of selecting some epic items. Not everyone will get exactly what they are shooting for I suspect, but that will create some new trade opportunities as people trade what they got, for what they want.
this is cool! Also a great kudos to @Keza with the Cerbetus Statuette. I think that's a very great way to recognize the efforts from community to help this shard thrive. thanks @Chris!
I will update the main post with more info on the hues. I also added some notes on items that are exclusive to the raffle. As in we have no plans to introduce them in any other manner.
Thanks - is the item database updating frequently? Doesn't have a last updated at the bottom and I am not seeing any of the new items in it yet.
