    12 Month Rewards

    They're coming up soon for those of us that started at launch, found these gems on the powerwiki that say the source is 12mo reward!

    I'm excited, kinda sucks it coincides with the day FFXIV launches...

    18 space pouch, signal pet, and produces aether. NCSoft is pretty smart waiting so long to announce this while they cash in on people buying another copy of the game or buying pets from the NCStore that do less.

    One thing I do find disturbing on the wiki article on the new griffo pet:

    Signal: Developed to have extremely acute senses, the Aqua Griffo can alert you to when enemies are nearby. Signal pets cannot detect enemies in the Hide state.
    And from the NCStore page on the Golden Nyanco pet for comparison:
    This loyal pet keeps you safe thanks to its incredibly sensitive hearing and an ability to sniff out even the stealthiest of enemy Assassins! With one of these faithful (and cute!) pets by your side, you'll never have to worry about others getting the jump on you.
    Did everyone who paid the $10 for a signal pet get tricked, or is the first statement inaccurate? If the first statement is true, I sense a lot of rage incoming from people who paid the $10 for that reason.

    There were some posts on the official forums about it; none of the signal pets seem to detect through Hide of any kind

    So... they can detect enemies within 5' as long as they aren't in hide? Really? That's hilarious. I have two of those then, they were free, they're called EYES. The rest of the rewards are neat, except that you can't remodel with the firehead dealie. I guess it makes sense given that they don't want people creating infinite numbers of them and selling them, but it's still kind of disappointing.

    Also don't forget the 5 major ancient crowns. Kinda nice.

    Well, you can use the warehouse from this pet in addition to the panda pet, for those that have both. And yeah, the signal feature of pets is pretty shitty...

    Since they were announced in the same Eye on Community, I'm gonna go ahead and say here that the pirate "costumes" are candy and they're goddamn awful. Haven't seen a good holiday event yet from these people, sheesh.

    They also set the useful penguin candies on cooldown for 2 hours as well.

    Penguin costumes last for 60m on a 60m CD, you can use skills in them, and they give decent bonuses. Your point?

    I was replying to the guy above me.

    The pirate candies given on the recent survey share a cooldown with the penguin candies. If you use a pirate candy (which gives no bonuses and looks ugly as hell), you can't use the penguin candies that are actually useful for 2 hours.

    Is anyone else having issues applying the 12 month packs to alts? It went through on one, but none of the rest. Did I miss some fine print, or is it ticket time?

    I've applied 12 month rewards to at least 3 of my characters now with no problem.

    Also, as a warning if anyone was thinking about using the worthless personal kisk... Apparently if you use it, it will activate the 12hr cooldown on all types of kisks, not just the personal one.

    Yep, that was a great idea on their part lol.
