the top 3? Out of the what was it, 100's of us that did it? That hardly makes the feats even worth doing. Because getting a 3 out of say 500 chance of getting a physical prize out of it are not good odds and not even worth anybodys time.
It says "top contributors", not "top 3" - might well be every player featured on that page.
Let's not jump to conclusions while the Feat-ure (heh, heh) is still being worked on. Plenty of kinks to be ironed out - but why assume that won't happen?
Aether5 - the conch is not the artefact. Every player has a chance to get a conch, as long as they complete The Last Pilgrimage of Esquibeth. (Which is an awesome quest!)
A piece of Platinium Spork (handle)
A piece of a Magical Pendant (red and green gems)
A piece of Woolly Glove Darned with a Metal Piece (thumb piece)
Edit: Moucri and I combined our Spork pieces and there's now a complete Platinium Spork! Sadly it has no uses. I can only give it to another person or drop it.
The top 13 participants got three pieces each, the top 53 (not including the 13) got two pieces each and the top 179 (not including the 53) got one piece each. There will be many more opportunities to get 'em. Endless, almost.
Loupin: Nope, it's the 179 people who "contributed" the most (in this case, played the conch for the most other people … or, close enough, with the bugs :)
Woot!! I thought I was so far down the list that I was sure I wouldn't get a thing! But that endless conch blowing actually earned me a piece of a chicken brick! LOL! This game cracks me up!
