man...do you guys remember back in the day when tombola gave out codestones and faeries and all that sweet shit so frequently. i almost never win tombola anymore, and when i do (once every month or two) it gives me something LAME like a gummy rat or some gross food.

coltzans shrine is also sucking lately.

anyone bother visiting these dailies still? i don't think its worth the time now.

[Elindoril]

They might of dumbed down Tombola, but it's still free, so why not try my luck?

Plus, Coltzan's Shrine is still awesome, you just got to time it right, I've gotten quite a few strength and defense buffs from him, which are great when it saves me 4 codestones and 4 hours of training per trip.

[xZel]

Hmm it's fine for me. I've gotten codestones both the times i've remembered to do it this month.

[jonnykun]

damn...guess i'm not that lucky then.
what are the times for coltzan?

[Token]

I never get anything from the old man coltzan, and tombola is still fun to go to. It's free food for me, so I'm happy. Seeing as how that damn soup faerie is so strict on her neopoint limit. So what if I have a few... Okay if I'm way over the neopoint limit. Gimme your damn soup!

lol the most useful daily i think is the giant omelet or jelly. consistent food supply

[Eliam]

Tombola still has the same chance of winning, and it's always had the same chance of giving out crap prizes as good ones. The difference is that now you don't always win a booby prize, which sucks. I miss my Musho Mushy Peas.

[iNextGenWarrior]

Yeah Tombola's a pretty decent daily, because getting a lot from a daily shouldn't happen too often.

[ArticTheTiger]

this thread reminded me to do it

I think the % win rate has dropped a little since a few years ago

[jonnykun]

FFFUUUU i didn't win anything when i tried just now .. Q_Q

I don't think so. It's not a Deserted Fairground game, so it's not rigged. It's actually a random number.

[GKris]

I only one once, and it was a bottled faerie. My number was 325. I have tried for countless months.

Over the eight years I have been playing, I think I've won over fifty times. If you do it every day, you should win once a month on average.

does tombola give out anything other than codestones, faeries, or spooky food??

I believe on extremely rare occasions, paintbrushes are indeed given out. Somebody correct me if I'm mistaken.

If he ever does, it's so rare that I've never seen anyone else get one, I think the Fruit Machine is the resident pumper of the Paint Brushes.

[MasterJunpei]

Never get anything from Tombola 'cept fail tickets. Most of the time he isn't even there when I visit T_T

[jonnykun]

oh yeah, he's closed half the time too. . . .
i don't see him asking for donations anymore. does he still do that?

Since always, it's just rare that it does so.

[kadoatie]

I can't remember the last time I won anything decent from Tombola.

[sealonfire]

When my pet was < lv20, I keep winning it once every few days. Now it
's just empty, no prizes at all.

[Eliam]

He does still ask for donations. He does not, however, dispense PBs.

I've won 2 PBs from the Fruit Machine over the years. One was a cloud PB many years ago when that was worth something, and then recently an Electric one.

[doomsday1314]

never received anything worth much from fruit machine and tombola...


but do get alot of codestones and bottled faeries from time to time...

[Eliam]

I know that some people don't do a lot of these dailies because it "isn't worth it", but I say that while you have a slim chance of winning the lottery if you buy a ticket every day, you have no chance if you never play.
