Dragon Pinata Home Instance Node; When?

[Ravij.9856]

So we have a home instance node for Quartz Crystals, Candy Corn, Watchwork Gears, and the Christmas Tree that we can get snowflakes from the presents... So Anet, where's our Zhaitaffy Home Instance node?

With the introduction of some new Guild Hall decorations, how will people be able to make the decorations like the Dragon Hologram if they come up short after the events gone? There will be no way to get more Zhaitaffy until you decide to host Dragon Bash again (The original Dragon Bash before this one was some 5-6 years.)

So could we please have a Zhaitaffy Home Instance Node?

[Dinas Dragonbane.2978]

It would be nice although the uses for zhaitaffy are much more limited than any of those others...which is one reason why there were thousands on the TP for the last 6 years that most people never noticed, hehe. They are being very liberal giving out 100 zhaitaffy for most dailies too, so you might expect one to come out next year possibly?

I want too!!! :'(

[Nagiil.1230]

Yes, please!!!! :)

[Tic Tac Toe.1482]

I agree, let's have one Anet :-)

[Mewcifer.5198]

As I said in the other thread. I want this and I am surprised that it wasn't something anet already did when they brought back the festival.

And you can only upgrade the Halloween one node.Eventually every node could get upgraded up to 3 gatherings for plants and 10 for ore and trees.There could be a tradable node upgrade for nodes obtained from gemstore, chests and statuettes, that when used allows you to select on of them to get extra uses.

And each festival could sell upgrades for its nodes:

• Dragon Bash:
  • Gift of Zhaitaffy: 1 bash, 3 tiny stacks of Zhaitaffy for a total of 9-15 or so.
  • Greater Gift of Zhaitaffy: 2 bashes, 6 stacks
  • Supreme Gift of Zhaitaffy: 3 bashes, 9 stacks
  • Legendary Gift of Zhaitaffy: gathering animation gets changed from 3 bashes to a single Fist Flurry animation, getting the same gatherings in less time. Also gets a chance to drop a Dragon Coffer and an extremely rare chance to drop a Jawebreaker.
• Halloween:
  • Gift of Candy Corn : 3 gatherings.
  • Greater Gift of Candy Corn : 6 gatherings.
  • Supreme Gift of Candy Corn: 9 Gatherings.
  • Royal Gift of Candy corn: Gatherings reduced to just 3, but gives triple materials per gathering, compressing the time it takes to gather. Also gets a chance to drop ToT bags and an extremely rare chance to get a Cob.
• Wintersday:
  • Gift of Magnanimity : 1 Gift from the tree.
  • My Own Personal Flurry: Gathering the tree also gives 1-5 Snowflakes.
  • A Gift for Freezie: Gathering the tree also gives a Wintersday Food.
  • A Gift from The Judge: Gathering the Tree also gives a Wintersday Enchancement.
  • Getting all 4 adds a very small chance to get 15-50 snowflakes instead 1-5, and an extremely rare chance to get a diamond.
• Jubilee:
  • Gift of Quartz: 3 Gatherings.
  • Greater Gift of Quartz: 6 Gatherings
  • Supreme Gift of Quartz: 9 Gatherings.
  • Celestial Gift of Quartz: Gatherings reduced to 3, but each gives triple materials and has an improved chance to get Charged Quartz. Also gets a rare chance to drop a Zephyr Sanctum Supply Box.
• SAB:
  • Bauble Gathering System: 8 baubles per gathering, 3 gatherings.
  • Improved Bauble Gathering System: 6 gatherings
  • Advanced Bauble Gathering System: 9
  • Super Bauble Gathering System: Down to 3 gatherings but triple materials on each one. Also has a low chance to drop SAB Coins, and a very rare chance to give a Super Bauble.
• HoT:
  • Aurillium Node: Daily Aurillium
  • Reclaimed Machinery: Makes Aurillium node also produce Airship Parts on each gathering.
  • Ley Energy Infuser: Makes Aurillium node also produce Ley Line Crystals on each gathering.
• PoF:
  • Trade Route Agreement: Adds a mailbox in your home instance, that gives 5-15 trade contracts daily when used. Has a very rare chance to give 25-50 instead.
  • Secret Trade Routes: Increases the daily output to 10-30, and the very rare chance to get 50-100.
  • Zalambur's Persnal Favor: Increases the daily output to 15-45, and the very rare chance to get 75-150.
  • Ancient Connections: Increases the daily output to 20-60, and the very rare chance to 100-200. Also adds a decent chance for 1-5 Elegy Mosaics.

Then we'd just need an gemstore upgrade we can purchase to get an NPC in the home isntance to whom we can talk to gather all the nodes in the home instance in one go using our equipped gathering tools for a small 10 silver fee. This would probably cost between 1000 and 2000 gems.

That's a fun idea! It would be a great way to grow the home instance without adding more clutter (more nodes).

[Warlord.9082]

Yes, I want a Dragon Pinata Home Instance node as well!

[Liston.9708]

Same as above

[Alexa Scorpionwitch.8567]

I brought this up in my guild chat just last night. 2 thumbs up for a node.

[MLinni.6109]

Yes, especially for people who are not into the transparent weapons, another reward at the festival to buy for Jorbreakers would be awesome. As a collector of home instance nodes I would also very much appreciate the ability to smash a little dragon at home. ;)

[Raizel.1839]

Next year, maybe.

[Endless Soul.5178]

Adding my vote for a Dragon Bash Pinata in the home instance.

[Kirigaya Kazuto.8547]

Dragon Bash Pinata would be a great adition to the homeinstance. Especially after we already got one for quartzcrystals and one for candycorn.

And I have to say I love your idea for the upgrades of each node!

[Piney.3076]

Yep, I'd buy a pinata. Not for 50g though.

This is amazing! I think upgrading home instance nodes would be an awesome thing to do!
