Please fix the bug with the fruit cocktails

I checked with the event description on this site, and the information given by the event manager. Nowhere does it say that those potions can't be transfered. The items themselves say nothing about this limitation. So it must be a bug, or another failure by NCSoft to think about the consequences of hidden event rules.

I opened a lot of those sacks on a toon I just use for storage. The consequences for me are useless potions. My main could have used both types of fruit cocktails. And he would have had them if I had been forewarned.

The only reasonable thing to do is allow a one time transfer or freight of the cocktails so we can get them to appropriate characters.

How many did you open before you figured out that they are not transferable?

The item description states they aren't transferrable. At least, it did state this before the DLS downtime... so... yeah...

nah I never saw any about it till after I tried to sell them.

there is no description that says they can't be, but they aren't.

I would of never opened them if I knew that they can't be traded. There isn't a description of what effect lvl it adds till after you open use it.

Pretty sure it says "This Item Cannot Be Traded" or some such, because even I knew they were No Trade... and not because someone told me or I read it somewhere. It's either on the mouse-over or the item-linkage or *something* that states its not tradeable.

All my sacks, about 45 of each cocktail. I would not have found out if I had not read these forums. I had no reason to try an transfer them. They were already on a storage toon.

It does not. I just checked both potions.

well it can't, so deal with it.

first thing i did when i opened a 5th place sack was check if i could trade it. it didnt work and i assumed it was that way for the 6th place too. then i noticed buy shops for the empower pots.....

it made me wonder why some can be sold, but not the cocktails.

I had the same problem. I was uber upset because i couldn't even use them on an EE =\

The cocktails don't give top lvl buffs though, so you guys aren't missing too much. Might2 haste1 VR2, etc.

however its still the first pot that gives VR.

and VR 2 is still really good for 34-52. Hell VR 2 works nicely for fort sieges.

For sure man, and next weekend i'm gonna transfer all my lvl 5 sacs to my alt toons who can use em. :)

Ya I have 25 coctails on my lvl 40 WS and BH and have 40 on my Sps. Not the best for the Sps but just out grinding they are great. Glad I only got 1 #5 sack when I turned the pieces in. I tried to send them to my alts right away and found out you couldn't trade them.

I think you can drop them on the ground and have another toon pick them up

No.

seems odd, most people are not going to be able to utilize both cocktails (cant even say it in game) my orc tyrant can do absolute crap with magic buffs. I'm stuck now with 20 that i can't use... seems like they'd make them transferable, knowing that a good portion of them would be wasted if not so

Agreed. I have a bunch on my destroyer that I really wanted for my Spellhowler.

They should just fix it.
And if they fix it by adding the text "not tradable/dropable/etc" that's the worst fixing possible.
I would prefer they made them tradeable.
:eek:

I didn't pay a lot of attention, but I think the cocktails come in a set, an equal amount of each. It is expected that you will use what is appropriate for your toon, and toss out the other stack.

Or hold on to them until you subclass and use them on your sub.

LOL I just use them both, better than trashing them. One has BtB the other has BtM so they are beneficial.

During recent events has it not been the case that rewards such as potions or hats are untradable?

Its always better to be cautious about this. I used an alt to get the event pieces but transfered the peices before i went to create the sacks.

Even observation of the market would tell you that people were only selling/ buying sack peices. That would make you think.

I suspected there would be an issue like this but I think you would still be complaining even if it was printed in black n' white on the item.

I thought i'd add that this game has high risk/ gamble in its reward system. You get what your given or you choose to sell the event peices.

Its like life, you don't always get what you want and sometimes there are consequences of risk.

I don't remember anything like that, but I have never done hats in this game. Maybe that was one of those weekend events I missed because I was out of town.

With limited play time this weekend, I just logged my character out in the field and resupplied in a nearby town with no shops. I had no time to shop for event related pieces.

A useless speculation since there was no mention of the untradable feature in game.

I am happy for you and other's who found out this limitation, and got your potions where you want them. Talking to a few clanmates last night I found out noone had even tried to move them around yet, and they did not know the cocktails are untradable.

all else fails, just assume event rewards are not tradeable, while the items to obtain said rewards ARE.

wow.. thats 2250 pieces for the #5 sacs only... plus aproximately 15k on #6 ones... plus all those you got #1-4 with... i'd say get over it you have enough anyways.


to the others i agree with "it did not say" because i noticed that as well. i opened them with my nub EE, that was fine but then tried to transfer the melee ones over to my nub BH so i can go spoil without a buffer and it wasn't possible. i specifically recall that i checked if it said transferable or not and it didnt mention anything about it.
it would be nice if we could transfer them as desired, except the farmers guy from above who got em with i dont know how many bot groups... but hey, i think you had that problem with your apigas too? LMAO ;)

Are we playing the same game?

I think 45 cocktails = 9 sacks (5 of each cocktail from a #5 sack). 9 sacks = 450 pieces. I probable got about 20 sacks that weekend = 1000 pieces. That is actually very bad, but I was mostly limited to play during the day.
