Bling Gnome
#61639 - 06/10/08 08:51 AM

I did a search and could not find an answer so I apologize if this is a repeat. I was finally able to log into test server and am wondering how you gain possesion of a Bling Gnome. If I understand correctly it is a passive skill that takes up a space in the power tray. If that is true, then how do you get the skill? Buy it? If so from who? Thanks all and have a good day

If you live in the US you wait until the end of the month and buy the retail box.

If you live outside the US you wait until the end of the month and buy a code from the playNC store.

The Gnome is not currently available on the live OR the PTS Servers so no way to get it in advance.

This is all essentially correct. One big exception is that the Dungeon Runners developers and some associates have Bling Gnomes already (perks of the job and all!), so if you *do* see a Bling Gnome on PTS or in the live game, this is why.

I believe the Bling Gnome will work this way: You'll buy the box and in the box will be a special serial code. You'll add the code to your account and the Bling Gnome skill will appear in your list of Passive Skills. You'll slot up the Bling Gnome like any normal skill. (Normally, the Bling Gnome only collects gold, but press his skill button when slotted up for him to also collect some loot as well.)

Addition to Sannio's Post: The Code is just a game code, you add it to your PlayNC master account. This will indeed add the Bling Gnome AND the membership for 6 months, Its one and the same code. Do mind that if you got for example 3 months still as membership, its just added, not overwritten.

That's what I thought. Someone on the forums or in game was talking like you would need 2 skill slots to use his gear pick-up.

One question I have, though: is there a range limit on his gear pick-up? Will we have to stand near the pile for it to work?

It's gonna take up a skill slot? That kinda sucks, I just kinda figured it'd hang around your characters permanently once you entered the code. Ah well, not that big a deal I guess. It still sounds pretty awesome

Any word on the availability of the box in retail stores in Canada? All I've found in posts from staff is that they would look into it, but no answer.

Edit: Also, doesn't the gbome actually convert the items to gold rather than just picking them up? I thought I read that somewhere. I think it was actually on the box's page on dungeonrunners.com.
