Oh, what a surprise!
Shielding Wards and Shield Scrolls on sale now. What a coincidence, just as protection scrolls mysteriously disappear from FM...

Also

There’s nothing worse than when you get Sealed and have to search through your inventory for an All Cure Potion. Well, now you can let your pet take care of it with an Auto Cure Potion Pouch.

Yeah, because I never have the foresight to put All-Cure on a key, but I always remember to set it on my pet. (I'm assuming the pet will "forget" the all-cure potion just as it forgets hp and mp potions if Equip window is opened while pet is not out).

Edit: the Shielding Wards and Shield Scrolls are actually not available in CS. Emergency CS maintenance incoming?

Hm. Pack of 35 is just a little more than what dupers charged.

Those wards so cheap.. Can't say I didn't expect it.
Funny they forgot to put them in through..

Ward is essentially 71mil if you buy the 50k bundle. 40mil more to legit scroll isn't that bad. :3

Wonder when their wards will expire, hope it's not 7 days after purchase, like other discount event items. If they're 90 days, then I'd have bought them, if I had money left.
Other than that, do want seal. L>to get money before that ends.

I believe the ward packs are a typo, considering they say "up to 50% off" not "up to 90% off".
Also, the pack sizes and "regular price" listed for them do not match what we had last time they were in CS.
The "11-pack" in the notice is 3 wards, and the "35" is actually 11.
Maybe that's the reason they were pulled at the last minute.

L> the quote where I said Inb4 Shielding ward sale...

Seal must be awkward when sitting on seal cushion. inb4"Mom?" jokes on basil.

The seal is cute, but nothing will replace my cranky Jr Rog with his snot bubbles when he sleeps and farting on people.

Ward is essentially 71mil if you buy the 50k bundle. 40mil more to legit scroll isn't that bad. :3

Yeah because you can tell the difference, I'm sure people will notice you spend 40 mill more per to legit scroll....

If you can buy it for 40 mill less from a legit seller, you'd be dumb not to do so. If Nexon didn't want you to use Protection Scrolls they would have removed all of them in game, period. Clearly they made them untradeable a week before for they can start selling Shielding Wards again.

Not to mention there have been several instances where the Cash Shop Shielding Wards have exploded the items.

In Windia, the 50k bundle is the same price as buying Protection Scroll service. The difference is buying NX Codes or MTS'ing or using mesos.

-->Blocks trading of Protection Scrolls and puts Shielding Wards on sale a week later.

Hahaha, oh Nexon.

All these enticing package discounts.

Oh my fucking God. EvERYONE needs to shut up about Wards going on sale.

New Content and Events Are Planned Months In Advance[SUP]1[/SUP]
Because of #4 everything has to be planned out on a massive calendar of what's intended to come up and what has to be done when in order for each next step to occur. It's no coincidence that a shiny new item will come out as gach only until you bleed for it, then be easily available in six months. They didn't decide on a whim that it was so loved everyone should have one; they planned from the beginning to get as much money for it up front before letting it go public. They're a business; that's what they do. They do not release content as surprises or on a whim, and most especially do not release fundamentally new things as compensation.

Seriously. pineapple.

In other news, dat harp seal. And I'll actually consider Gachapon for a bit for how cheap it is.

I prefer this to mass amounts of duped scrolls.

At their height, dupers were flogging stacks of 100 for 50k. That being said, I'd totally buy those 35-packs if they choose to actually add the sale to the CS at some point. PSoKing the things I'd like protected at my own expense for the privilege of having them robbed by protection service sellers is not in my best interests.

I wish the seal was a permanent pet ._.

I guess I'll use the m.atk scrolls on my pet/equips that are perma.

I guess my Seal can cure my seal so I can seal but I'll probably sit on my seal with my seal while sealed.

Is it just me or is the smaller bundle of gach cheaper?

Is it just me or is the smaller bundle of gach cheaper?

You are correct, But people don't often read and will probably fall for it sadly.

Oh, they appear to have reduced the bundles of wards on the notice to 1, 3 and 11 rather than 1, 11 and 35. How saddening.
