✭✭✭✭✭If you’re planning to buy tickets anyway, it’s an opportunity to pair up with someone with the same intention — then it really is a free bonus for both of you!

MajThorax✭✭✭✭✭If my memory serves me well, you get a crate for every 5 tickets gifted, so 1250 crowns for 1 crate?0 -

✭✭Yes, if you were already planning to give event tickets, then it is a free bonus. If you're giving tickets just to get the crates, then no, they aren't free.
Five event tickets is 1250 crowns, for 3 crates. A pack of 4 crates is 1500, so you're basically buying crates at a slightly higher price if you're only giving tickets to get the crates. You're better off just spending 1500 crowns on a 4-pack, than buying 5 individual tickets as gifts to get 3.0 -

Edit: Actually, it’s four crates instead of three. It’s a nice bonus when I was on the fence about buying tickets for an additional Indrik mount. Edited by Araneae6537 on December 17, 2020 11:24PM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭FYI, I was informed by a guildmate that based on the promotion last year, you do not get additional crates for every multiple of five tickets you gift! I had rather assumed you would and so wanted to pass this information along in case others had thought the same!0 -

Well, yes, it would be foolish to do it that way if your only intention is the crates! My point is that if player A planned to buy tickets and player B planned to buy tickets, now if they instead buy them for one another they get a bonus.
Yes, that's what I said, too. I was agreeing with you, but also pointing out that the value wasn't as good. Though, when I logged into the game just now, the announcement said 4 free crates. I looked at the article again, and it said four as well. Don't know where I got three from. So, it's actually a better value than just buying the 4-crate pack, but still only "free" if you were already planning to gift event tickets.1 -
GuildedLilly✭✭✭With no opportunity to buy 2019 berries to play catch up on missed mounts, & no future Indrik events planned, this reads like a wasted $$$ making opportunity for ZOS. It's a nice gesture--but it could have been significantly more lucrative for them if it wasn't for the arbitrary decision prevent the 2019 berries from being sold during the event.Grandmaster crafter, alt-o-holic, PC NA/EU, and XB1 NA/EU3 -
KyraCROgnon✭✭✭Why do this only for event tickets ? If it was "gift a total value of X crowns between at least 2 friends and receive crown crate", I would probably have join in, I know someone dear that always need some race or appearance change token , and that would also be a motivation to gift little house trinkets to favorite guildies.
But event tokens only ??? Sounds as festive a gift as donating food coupons

Stump✭✭✭@ZOS_SarahHecker i just got notice today that some of my gifted tickets were returned to me and not accepted by the people i sent them to. Am i still eligible for the crown crates reward or no since my gifts were returned to me?
