Thread: What would you put in the LOTRO Lottery?

The LOTRO Lotteries are almost here. As we continue to test the system and prepare for the return of regularly scheduled lotteries, we have one simple question:

If you were the lottery master, what would you put in the lottery?

It's a simple question and the sky's the limit. Mostly. There is one limit that even the lottery master can't get around. We cannot put account level items into the lottery. So things like shared storage, character slots, quest packs, etc. aren't possible, but most other things are!

Let's hear what you think should be in the LOTRO Lotteries!

For more information about the LOTRO Lottery, please see the Lottery FAQ and Schedule as well as the Lottery Known Issues.

Turbine Points!

The new sigils. 300+ ore and no sigils...

In no particular order:

Mounts
stacks of a certain missing LI scroll
Cosmetics/Housing Items
Misc enhancer items (eg: skirmish mark boosters, revive tomes, etc)
Tomes
TP as a last resort.

Level 75 legendary weapons/items based on class sounds pretty nice to me.

I prefer a RoI legendary code and a lifetime code. But 3000 TP are good to buy the path of the fellowship. I need MORIA to go to Isengard.

Relic Removal Scrolls & Store-only relics

Trait slots.

-mounts
-Cosmetic outfits
-PRANKS!!! and more pranks! (can we get water balloons or paint filled balloons plz!?)
-housing decoration items
-jewelry/pocket items
-reputation barter items ie: bronze feathers, tokens of the wild
-skirmish marks (500+)
-relic removal scrolls
-legacy tier upgrade scrolls
-relic chests
-relic SHARDS
-Symbols to craft 2nd age LIs
-super rare recipes
- stacks of crating mats, ie: hides, ore, wood, flour! :P

oh yeah and more pranks please!

A scroll that changes a minor legacy into a major legacy.

Goodies for creeps and unique housing/outfit items.

I always liked the horses and cosmetics are great. Did we ever have a goat?

Now character store items - additional milestones, hurried traveler - that would be nice.

Maybe as taste for the new items like the 20% quest xp or the additional rep.

sigils, worn symbols, sealed store-only relics

Thats good too.

Def new sigils (the cracked rhy ones).


Also, fused relics, cosmetics/dyes (dyes especially, given the large number of cosmetics to use them on in ROI from side-quest rewards), stat tomes, morale pots (the high lvl ones from the store), high-level class items (a small set of all the kinds).

Sigils and worn symbols of celebrimbor.

Greater Delving scrolls (every one should win this one)
Stat tomes
Stacks of raw mats especially the new t7 ones
Turbine points(not a lot of them think you guys had some before with like 100 tp that was a good number)
Skirmish marks( 500 for 1-40 and 1000 for 41-75) and other random marks(10 of each kind)

Not money there is already too much gold in the game no need to add more

lvl 75 raid armour based on class. stuff from the store. lvl 50 class quest items.

free or a discount on a world transfer for one character would be nice, but its a premimum service, so.....

Store items need a common appearance... Pots, tomes, LI scrolls, store relics, mounts, etc. (the things we can't technically get in game within reason).

I think lotteries from the past have been generous and it seems almost everything was given away in one form or another.

As for account items... could a code not be emailed?

TP seems to be a safe bet so people could choose their own reward.

Rhi Helvarch Sigils, Superior 4th marks, and Tyrant's Crests and Chieftan's Brooches.

Pets ! Why should only Loremasters have a pet rabbit / frog / snake?? we ALL want one!!
Plus new unique hairstyles ? Hats?

Big turbine points, ROI codes,

Nothing Turbine, you have already been too generous to us.
If anything, say what you need from us and we shall grant it.

Additional milestone skills would be pretty cool, but I would think that if you put the Milestone II skill in the lottery, anyone who had purchased Milestone II from the store wouldn't be able to use it. OTOH, people who had purchased Milestones III to whatever the max is would be able to use it as long as they hadn't purchased Milestone II...

Superior cooked, trail and fortifying foods.

Hmmmm good question. Lets see....

- Legendary items (1st, 2nd, 3rd age)
- Mounts
- Cosmetic items
- Housing items
- Crafting items (wood, ore, sigils, etc)
- Relic removal scrolls
- Relic packs
- Travel maps
- Stat tomes
- Turbine points if possible

That is all I can think of at the moment.

The new Sigils
Scrolls of Greater Delving
Unique housing items...

Of course anything is pretty win, free stuff!

Superior Fourth Marks
Worn Symbols
T7 relics
Greater Scrolls of Empowerment
Greater Scrolls of Delving
Scrolls of Relic Removal

My favorite lotteries are for:

*Store-only items. Especially ones I didn't know about but that are cool or that seem out of my price range.
*Hard-to-get items from the game. Moors barter items, rare crafting items, egg of the mistress barter item, etc.

And I always love to get money and/or skirmish marks with my lottery. It's like fries with my burger!

Two specific ones that I'd think were awesome:
1. All four of the store-only horses in one lottery. (I'm sure I wouldn't win, but what if I did!)
2. All of the housing decoration barter items from an instance or instance cluster that is significantly below the max level (e.g. all of the Angmar housing items, all of the DN housing items, etc.).

sigils and worn symbols

that is all we need

Recipes of any sort (one-offs or normals, doesn't matter)

Cosmetics
Skirmish marks
Relics
LI experience runes
Turbine points
Emotes
Steed of the Hunter!!!! (and other mounts) xD

Definitely should have some big lottos to honor the return of them.

Scroll of relic removal (a big stack please!)
Scroll of greater delvin
A clue to what Erebrandir's horse shoe does in game (Pretty Please!)

Content. In any way possible. Legendary RoI codes for starters

Also, epic lots of skirm marks, heritage runes, etc.

Dragon Scales!!

Level 50 class quest items.

And, possibly, some skirmish mark type things.

And, uh, that's all I can think of...

Whenever new cosmetics or mounts are added to the game, give a few away in lotteries.

I would like to see themed lotteries again. They were always so much fun!

Relic removal scrolls!

Hope tokens.
Heritage runes.
Fused relics.
XP Boosters.
Scrolls of battle/warding.
Teal jewelry and/or cloaks.
Dye.
Crafting shards.
Crit-level Morale and Power pots.
Maps.
Rally horns.
Housing items.
Cosmetic/seasonal items.

Skirmish Marks!

Two things I've won in the lottery in the past and really enjoyed are a mount (which was great timing, I didn't have one yet on that character) and a cloak. The cloak I actually still can't equip yet (I level slowly) but it's pretty enough that I am really looking forward to achieving that level.

I think the lotteries are the most fun when you win stuff you wouldn't otherwise get - either because they're too expensive for you or because you wouldn't normally spend time/money/effort on.

One thing I wouldn't want to win are reputation items. (Yes, I'll make sure to give them away to more deserving players if I ever should win them.) I still think of reputation as something that's earned, not found on the floor or something... so it doesn't seem quite right to me.

While I wouldn't mind winning something *huge*/of significant monetary value like a quest pack or a lifetime subscription or anything along those lines, I'm not sure I would enjoy it that much more than a nice cosmetic. And while the cosmetic would make me smile regularly 'that's the one I won in the lottery', I doubt I'd have that with a quest pack or something less visible like that. None of this is tangible, of course, but in-game items feel a bit more so nonetheless.

All lotteries: Silver, with the amount increasing at the higher levels

All lotteries (perhaps on the Weekend Edition only): add Standard Mount (or seasonal/promotional variant when appropriate, but not rep-gated items); seasonal decorator and/or cosmetic items (again, not rep-gated) when appropriate

Edit: Special 'theme' Lotteries like the Hobbit Feast suggested by Rosiebelle are a splendid idea! And the seasonal lotteries (either stand-alone or in conjunction with a Festival) are always nice as well.
