I went with pebbles because so many people had been asking for them and I found a stash of fennecs on a cart Melody told me I could steal from. 🙂 (For the quest, not for me – sadly ;))
Please feel free to throw out ideas on what kinds of prizes you’d like to see! I can at least usually influence what gets picked. 🙂
I’d like to see dragon prizes. :bigsmile: Or maybe Windstone gift certificates. Is gift certificate thing possible or is there some kind of legal thing that might get in the way?
Gift certificate might be fun! Then someone can get what they really really want. But then again, maybe that defeats the purpose of having a prize that’s chosen for us?
Are test paints considered too valuable to be prizes? Like, I’m not sure if prizes are usually left over production or limited production pieces or not. Of course winning ANYTHING is special, but I’m sure people would really treasure something that’s been worked on personally by Melody or Brandi or the other production artists and has an initial.
If I say ‘kirins’ will people start throwing things at me? :bigsmile: But seriously, kirins and orientals and dragons all make me happy, though I also really really adore these pebble guys. I’m not difficult to please~
Well, I was mostly meaning types of sculpt – sorry I was not clear! 🙂
All the quest prizes so far (with the exception of the very first quest where Melody painted prizes specifically for the quest) have been ‘failed’ test paints or grab bags. Usually the sculpt is slightly flawed, or the painting is slightly flawed (paint drips, painted too many times with a few details being obscured), or it’s a color they don’t think will do well on ebay. It’s nothing TOO bad, but it usually is something Melody doesn’t feel like she should sell to people who are paying a lot of money for a piece. 🙂

I see! Well frankly I don’t mind a slightly ‘flawed’ piece, whether it’s from painting or something with the sculpt if it’s free. All of the prizes for previous quests have been lovely. What about one or some of those orientals you posted the other day on FB. When I asked about them, it sounded like one of them had some kind of paint issue where it looked like salt kept showing up? That is rather specific, though–I think grab bags or failed test paints of unicorns and dragons as well as pebble animals would probably be very popular, just based on what I’ve seen sell lately. 🙂
Gave a half-educated guess on the last one I was stuck on and sent it in! I was coming up with nothing better, so I’ll just go with it and hope it’s right 😛

I love seeing pebbles as quest prizes as they are so hard to come by right now, unless of course you can afford the eBay prices. I’d also love seeing any pegasi, Kirin, or unicorn prizes as well! Specifically babies but I’d love to see any hoofers really, since they my favorite sculpts!
Oh oh! And any special baby pegasi especially! Since these guys never get to be grab bags(And I personally couldn’t afford the eBay pieces.) I’d love to see any tests/goof up baby pegasi as a prize!

Not currently open for PYO commissions.These are the sculpts I like the best. I’m a huge fan of natural color schemes so if there’s an opportunity to grab a few of those for the quest prizes, yeah. That autumn leaf pumpkin rock dragon was just, WOW! Anyone else want to jump on the autumn leaf band wagon? 😉
Dragons –
Fledgling
Curled Mother
Old Warrior
Lap
Mini Keeper (Is that possible with this sculpt because they’ve only been a grab bag item?)
Hoarder/Trover (Whenever they’re released I guess.)Pebble Animals –
Fox
Wolf
CatThe bigger sculpts usually get used for bigger quests – (i.e. ones that require more work versus the random draws. 🙂 Such as photo contests and the like – the harder the quest, the better the prize in general).
I doubt I’ll get a little rock dragon or an autumn leaf prize – those pieces tend to be pretty high value on ebay and in the store. 🙂 Though one of the autumn leaf limited production pieces if they were on a seconds cart might be possible (kitty wizards, frog wizards, large wizard, and curlie I think).
Though – I did get a barnswallow emp, so all things are possible! 🙂

Ah, okay. Forgive my ignorance for I am a freshman Windstone fan. Still leaning. 😉 I didn’t know there were different difficulty levels for quests. That’s awesome!
While I have favorites, it’s like others have said, “I’ll take any free Windstone.” They’re all awesome. :bigsmile:
The barnswallow emp sounds great!
Okay, I think I got it. I spelled something incorrectly so that’s why it wouldn’t fit. 🙂
Thanks for doing these quests and good luck everybody.
