Past Holiday items from the H'Oddments Store like the Dragnor Count Outfits are at most 1.5k H'oddment each. How come you didn't find anything good for your H'Oddments?

"gift wrap scythes and frosted wreaths" are Christmas items. Why are you looking for Christmas items in October? There was no complaining about H'oddments.

He simply said he hasn't ever been lucky enough to find an ultra-rare holiday item in a holiday event since 2005. Funnily enough, that includes Christmas!

" Not only that but I've had nothing from ANY seasonal event since I started in 2005 despite trying very hard for them (excluding those gift wrap scythes and frosted wreaths) as they were handed out like candy anyway.
I understand it's not all (gain) about getting the items going but that's the main reason players are doing it.
I've now given up trying anymore."


The person I replied to clearly complained about "nothing from ANY season event", and many of the Halloween "season event" are in the H'oddments Store. Why can't they buy them?

Which means those rewards are easily attainable.

Just like the rewards they have obtained (gift wrapped scythes and frosted wreaths).

The complaint is directed towards the rewards that are not easily attained. I.e. the rewards that cannot be bought by H'oddments.

Why are they complaining about "rewads that are not easily attained" in the RECENT GAME UPDATE FORUM when all the rewards from RECENT GAME UPDATE can be bought from the H'Oddments Store? Either you are wrong about what the user I replied to think or that person was just ranting and thread derailing.

All the previous holiday items are sold under H'Oddments Store. That's why I told the person I replied to they can go there and spend their almost 90k H'Oddments to buy them out.

If the person I replied to have any comments, I will gladly address them, but only if they speak out again.

As mentioned, these are the type of items he's talking about. The rare items. Not the limited-but-common release items that are seen in the H'oddments shop.

I mean past Halloween H'oddments store items. What do you think the "H" in H'oddments mean? We didn't get Santa in Halooween from 2001 to 2022, why should we get them in 2023?

I think Dominicolie is talking about luck overall when it comes to rare items at events like this (and xmas and so on). He wants to have better LUCK of getting something rare rather than go buy it from a store. And I get him. I have had bad luck for years too. It's about that feeling of getting lucky.

The question to Dominicolle is if they complain so hard about luck, why don't they just buy a wide selection of past and present Halloween events rewards from the H'Oddments with the almost 90k H'Oddments they have already gotten?

Of course, only Dominicole can answer their own question, and for the interest of everybody, this is what Domincole wrote about their complaint:

"Not only that but I've had nothing from ANY seasonal event since I started in 2005 despite trying very hard for them (excluding those gift wrap scythes and frosted wreaths) as they were handed out like candy anyway."
