Thread: What would you put in the LOTRO Lottery?

Creep goodies (of course this would require a creep mail system) such as items (especially consumables) from the T-Store.

How about a crafting focused lottery? Special ingredients, recipes, guild rep items.

A kinship title... one winner per server, everyone in their kin gets access to the title?

A kinhall as a personal house?

A neighborhood lottery... if you win your neighborhood gets some special addition (1 winner per housing zone per server).

Potions, skirmish marks, LI relics, runes, & scrolls, TP, rare dyes, Medallions, Symbols (for making LIs), mounts that can't be obtained in-game, T7 crafting components.

Worn symbols

Dragochs scales

Single use Dragoch recipes

I may be dreaming, but hey dream big right

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

In order of PRIORITY:
MITHRIL ISENGARD HORSE:



Worn Symbols of Celmbrimbor
Scrolls of Greater Delving
Scrolls of Relic Removal
Scrolls of Greater Empowerment
Shards
Rhi Helvarch Sigils

Consumables like:

• foods

• maps

• pots

• holiday items

• deed accerators

other items:

• gold (silver)

• cosmetics (I'd prefer cloaks/tunics in unique colours maybe not unique fashion necessarily)

• tokens/marks (various: anniversary, moria, skirmish marks [all types], DG, leaves, branches, etc)

• SiKs

• horse tokens

Honestly I like everything that's been in the lottery within the last two years or however long they've been around. It's always fun to win, even if it's just a bit of fluff like the fireworks (love the fireworks!) and while it's nice to get stacks of useful things like potions and the occasional money, I'd hate to see it suddenly reduced to only useful stuff. Let's not take it too seriously ^_^

- raid tokens for the earlier armor pieces such as Moria
- skirmish marks
- LI's
- removal scrolls for LI's
- mounts are always fun
- symbols

TP
Relics
IXP Runes
Worn Symbol of Celebrimbor
Greater Scroll of Delving
Greater Scroll of Empowerment
Relic Removal Scroll

-Bel

A full set of the level 45 legendary trait quest items. Make a pack of all the items required by class. So a bundle of the Loremaster items would be 20x Hateful Wyrm Eyes, 10x Putrid Fingernails, 15x Revered Wight Remains, 15x Bubbling Droplets, and then 1 each of Emblem of Ritual, Rune of Evil Presence, Putrid Slime of Helgcham, and a Goblin Badge of Rank.

Tomes of Will/Vitality/etc would be useful, but because they are tiered I'm not sure how well that would work.

Extra Milestone skills would also be useful, but again they are tiered.

IXP is always useful, as are relics. If it's possible to have the IXP runes bind to account that would be ideal.

Bright Emblems of Nimrodel (Either 4 or 6, which is enough to get a 59/60 turn in).

Someone else mentioned the Rally Horns. That would be really nice as well.

A full set of Guild Rep items. So a Large/Medium/Small rep item for each tier.

In addition to Worn Symbols, Greater SoEs and Delving, S4Ms...

Full sets of tier seven recipes for all crafts.

These aren't sold at expert vendors, and fewer drop than sigils.



"Sometimes survival comes down to not being hit. Actually, most times." -the chicken skill, Bob and Weave

Relic Removal Scrolls
Scrolls of (Greater) Empowerment
IXP pills
Cracked Sigils
Worn Symbols of Cel.


.......Cosmetics!

Southern fried chicken and fries and a 6 pack of beer delivered to our home address *grin*

What? I already have the entertainment all I need is the food and beer

Everything listed above sounds great.

But what would really make me jump up and down? Mounts!

-Sigils/flakes/shards
-morale/power pots
-crafting tools
-bandages
-rally horns
-relic removal scrolls
-travel maps
-stat tomes
-LI damage type scrolls
-scrolls of empowerment/delving

Most of these have been in lotteries in the past and I thought they were pretty cool prizes then, too.

Nothing too overpowered, please!

An emote for lottery would be fun - something like /coinflip

Some strange seeds usable at any tier farming with a very random effect (carrot granting double runspeed half an hour, mystery beans producing an aoe debuffing cloud following the character half an hour, a rare type of pipeweed, 1-3 killer sprouts stalking the character a while, a few apples that can be used as thrown weapons, nuts attracting tiny pets a while...)

A title like Freeloader or similar could be OK

Wigs? Temporary hair.

***

It's the most fun when the winnings is a mystery.

***

Superior Marks of Awesomesauce, mounts and similar OP stuff...not really a lottery thing, is it? Perhaps if non-tradable bound to character and if those gambling for goods paid a few gold to get a lottery ticket...everyone wins but 99% just a stack of potions or similar.

-Turbine points x500
-Store exclusive items
-Greater Scrolls of Empowerment x5
-Worn Symbol

If you're going to do instance tokens please don't do JUST the old ones; I do not even remotely need them. I'll end up just getting IXP runes with them. So do a combo pack of all the old ones and the raid token; ie: 1 raid token, 5x moria/mirk/etc tokens.

TPs
S4Ms
FA LIs

The chance to create your own setting, then have it made into game and be the first person to have one. This is all I would want to win as most settings I think could be better.

Legendary Level Cap Increase (store version of the Delving Scroll)
Shards
Legendary Tier Upgrade (store Scroll of Empowerment)
Store Exclusive Mounts
Stat tomes
Worn Symbol of Celebrimbor

Noooooooo..... I never ever want to see that ugly yellow default skin on another mount again! It ruined the Isengard mount for me. Thankfully the actual in game horse of that type has a much nicer skin. Now, if we could only find out when we get our grubby hands on the three or four horse designs I've seen in the expansion so far.

Now, back on topic. I loved winning the (Anuminas, Moria, Lothlorien, etc) armor barter items for my characters. Even if they were lower level there's some great cosmetic appearances in those sets. Also the new legendary and tier 7 crit crafting items.

As for wishing for things not in the game yet... we need more hairstyles! I'd love to see some beaded and braided Dunlending styles and long Rohirrum ponytails!

Chieftain Brooches and Tyrant Crests
Superior 4th Marks and Skirmish marks

Relics and other Legendary related items
Worn Symbol of Celebrimor

Turbine Points
Sigils for crafting
Worn symbols for crafting
Theodred teal items, i.e. sharp sword, etc.
skirm marks

Store exclusive items like the relic removal scroll, oh wait...sorry
Anything selling for over 20g in the auction house

I liked all the items from the old lotteries. Only suggestion to add would be items from the expansion for characters of the level to use them. Also don't want to see items that would give an unfair advantage for game play to lottery winners. We all work hard for our stuff (least we think we do :P ) so I don't want to see the balance thrown off because someone who did no work happened to win a lottery for something I have busted my butt for.

Here are the things the epic Minzisol desperately wants:

- Cosmetic Items (Preferably Rare)
- Turbine Points (Preferably large quantities)
- Legendary Items (Preferably Rare)
- Recipes (Preferably Tailor)
- Dyes (Preferably expensive ones like Black)
- Experience Boots (Preferably large quantities)

Also, just an FYI, there are not enough good looking cosmetic items in the game for fashionista people, like me! Bring more hair styles too!

Bug fixes.


What everyone else said sounds good, too, but particularly relic removal scrolls! -_-

It almost seems silly to respond since I figured it would only take minutes to have pretty much everything covered.. especially the new end-game items.

Of course, any of those would be great. I like the idea of store exclusive items though.

For me, the only thing that comes to mind as being store exclusive would be crafting guild access. I don't see that as being possible considering the variables involved, but if you gave out a code (or I suppose the equivalent TP amount) that would be nice. Crafting Guild access is the only per character thing available that holds any interest for me (I have everything else I deem useful).

I also enjoyed the seemingly insignificant lotteries (some would say, anyway), like the Free People's Flag on Memorial Day (in the U.S., since we're international now). Skeletal Painted steeds for Halloween.. stuff like that.


Or, I could just be like others I've seen: a 75 Second Age Weapon and Class Item with the exact tier 6 legacies I want. You know.. if you're feeling especially generous.


I'm just glad they're back. It's always fun to win.

Greater scrolls of Empowerment.
And on a Halloween theme (yes I know it's early... but Christmasy stuff starts early so why not..)
Unwelcome Mat
Skele steed
random fall fest goodies.

Evrything mentioned sounds great! Specially the store only items (scrolls, mounts, tomes, etc) and the gear barter medallions

top 5

1) turbine points
2) relic removal scrolls
3) stat tomes
4) tomes of defence
5) skeleton horse


other store exclusive items would be nice too.

but NOT -- repeat NOT -- top level LIs, at least not yet. you need a little bit of time before offering the best gear in game via that channel. when we're closer to the next release that will offer first ages, you can start offering second ages in lottos.

Lots of good suggestions here, but please don't include commonly accessible crafted items like dyes. These things are the inter-player economy such as it is.

What about a lottery ticket that you win, and you can go to an NPC and turn in your ticket for a certain level of item? That way people can choose something they want from the NPC, be it PvP, end-game, crafting, or cosmetic centered. Barring that:

For all levels:
Turbine Points
Silver
Morale & Power pots
Food

For low levels:
Crafting tools
Dye
Tomes (experience, swift travel free, maps)

For high levels:
Raid & Skirmish tokens
Legendary item scrolls (Greater Empowerment)
Cracked Sigils
Worn Symbols of Celbrimborbriborbrimborbrimbor ibrorian
Brilliant Stones / Brooches (Tokens of Valour?)

Mounts
Cosmetic items
Hope Tokens
Housing Items
Relics
Foods
Rare Crafting Recipes
