Kwee the Elusive
Dear Kwee,

I have been wasting hours in hopes of you gracing my bags with your presence.  This is not to say that your Valentine's Day minions have not been kind to me - I now have many picnic baskets (although I wish you would let me use multiple baskets at the same time, so I could create a forest of umbrellas), and this morning I just got my third black dress.  My male rogue looks quite lovely in it, thank you for asking.

But Kwee, you tiny uglified ball of floating goblinishness, why do you elude me so?  All I want is the ability to poke your belly in front of my mates so that you are forced to tell them that time is money, friend.  I promise I'll buy you a Heavy Quiver so that your pointy little arrows can speed even more quickly into the squishy flesh of those around us.  I'll take you to Winterspring so that you can you can visit your girlfriend, Umi Rumplesnicker.  I hear she's been missing your witty truisms.

What's that?  No.  No, I will not let you wear one of my black dresses.  I don't care if you've got what I need, I can tell you right now that what I need is definitely not the sight of my lovely black dress dragging in the Orgrimmar dust while your spindly little legs peddle aimlessly underneath.  (See what I did there with the peddling?  I can make these puns all day, if you like 'em.)  But I will let you sit under my umbrella whenever your flappers need a rest.  Just please don't demonstrate your ability to chug an entire Thunderbrew Ale in one gulp.  I don't appreciate it when you get drunk and start shooting your arrows into other people's vanity pets.  Unless you can get Mr. Wiggles and a hawk owl to cross-breed and produce a flying piglet?  In that case, you may have all the ale you can keep down.

Please.  Look at my bleary eyes, my weary clicking-finger, and then come snuggle up against me and tell me I'm an amateur.  Because with a levitating goblin putti by my side, I won't need to kill the bog lords for their tendrils anymore.  I can just make them fall in love with me, and those bog lords will start handing over tendrils of their own free will.

Love & kisses,
Tigralon

P.S.  No, that loincloth is NOT optional.  Kwee!!  Put that back on!!

I must apologize. I have two of the suckers now. :( One is bound on my rogue, the second is sitting on my main, waiting for me to try to sell it towards the end of the event.

Haven't seen a damn dress yet though. Eight toons farming every hour when I'm home (and not raiding). No dress. Three silly baskets, two Kwee's, no dress!

I actually really wanted the dress too, so I'm half-happy. It's just become the principle of the thing at this point, with that dang Kwee.

I have two accounts full of toons on 1 server and two accounts half-full on another server (my RL friend is helping me out by letting me run his toons around to farm). It's absurd how many presents I've opened. I've started to groan every time I see another basket.

Well I was going to follow the warcraftpets.com guide on it, but changed my mind. Instead, I ran my two main alts, and four name holder toons to boxes and sent cash to them. That, combined with my main and my bank alt, gave me eight toons pretty much all sitting right there. The other two spots in my list were for a Horde toon and a neutral bank alt that weren't helping out.

I would have to take time away from farming to let the buff go away but it meant that I would do something else in the meantime. I also spread them out across different cities so I'm collecting all the items from various locations just for fun. :D

Gimmee my dress dammit!

(wonders if she can sell the pet and baskets for lots o' gold)

I'm hoping to sell my extra baskets but have no idea what would be a reasonable price. 50g? Someone on thottbot mentioned 100g. What are you thinking?

O_o I was thinking 5g, but I'll happily admit I have *no clue*! XD I was thinking I might open it up on /trade with "send me your best offer and I'll choose the highest" and see what comes in. :D

Well, I have no idea either, to be completely honest. 50g seems really high but then again, you can sell the dresses for 200g (I have heard). Granted, the dresses drop far more rarely than the baskets, but they're still a once-a-year-only item.

*shrug* Your method might be the best! Just remember that the boxes appear to have an expiration date this year (I didn't do the event last year but based on comments about people who'd hoarded unlooted boxes from last year, the expiration date is a new thing). So I'm going to wait until the day after it ends and then sell them all quickly before they expire.

They are selling for 10g on my server, Horde side (Nordrassil).

yesterday I spent 3 more hours grinding both horde and alliance side, only to get lots of picnic baskets and black dresses. >.< but this morning... my druid alliance side got her truesilver arrow and so did my troll shaman. ^__^ but... I still need two more... one for my ally shaman and my be hunter. *sigh*

I went and "farmed" for him for about three hours last night and got some Silver arrows and a couple candy bags and Love Fools, but no dresses, no picnic baskets or Peddlefeet.

I got one dress last year in my very first pledge box. That's it.

I've gotten so many picnic baskets. All of mine + my husbands characters have them, I've given 5 away, and I have like 4 more to give away that I got today.

All I've gotten so far are baskets. *sob*

I'm going to do another night of intensive farming for the dress and mr elusive. >_

I got the basket, and did the quest that gave me the Lovely Red Dress, but I will get the black one!

Cute post, btw!

Thanks! ^_^

But he seriously needs to put that loincloth back on, or I'm going to have second thoughts about letting him follow me around. :P

I wish...I'm on Trollbane and Bronzebeard.

The good thing about the dress is that it doesn't bind, so you can pass it around and all your toons get the love! With the pet, only one person gets it. I have no idea how to decide (if and when I finally get one).

if i get it, it's going to my bf's cousin who has a hunter and hates vanity pets. i think this would be the one(since arrows are such a thing with him and his hunter) that he would really enjoy. got the lovely black dress today from a guy that had gotten it and didn't want it. woot! told him he brings mats and he gets all the pots he wants from me. and i would even do transmutes for free for him. :)
tkk
