What's up with the false advertisement on the Laurel Wreath? I went out of my way to go find that stupid UGC card so I can participate in the event to see if that hat was good as rideword hat. Today I received the laurel wreath and in the attributes they added the reduced hp/sp to normal recovery by 50%. This is not on the advertisement on the "Holiday in Style with Ultimate Game Card! dated 12/6/2011. This is what the advertisement shows:

The hat has some nifty effects, especially if you find yourself fighting monsters that can cause status ailments:
Here is the info: A wreath made with bright blue Leaves and Flowers to make you feel Fresh and rejuvenated.
5% Resistance to Darkness (blind) and Stun
If +9 with each monster slain gain 40 HP and 3 SP
If +11 with each monster slain gain 60 HP and 5 SP.
Luck +3
Def : 2
All Jobs can Wear it at level 10.
Tradable and Vendable

They left out the part that the normal recovery rate of hp/sp will be reduced by 50%! and it is not YET tradeable or vendable!

Like I'm gonna try and get it now, wanted the effect for my gunslinger to make her viable.

I'm just unhappy that I paid for a UGC + tax (and fuel) to get what was advertised, not something with a penalty on top of it's ridiculous refine rate to get it to do anything when I could of saved myself a bit and just used paypal if I just wanted the WP/KP.

Well, since I doubt you'll change the item could you at least reimburse me $4.64 in WP/KP to make up for the fuel and tax I wasted? lol

RWH would still be miles ahead of that even if it was double hp/sp recovery rather than 50% penalty. imagine 60hp per kill in scarabs or bio2/3. St patricks hat is better than that

I think this hat was designed for low lvls mainly. FOr chars 10~60 lvl its much better than RWH So this one for low lvls, RWH in end game In end game almost every %% gear is better than fixed ones.

Where do you live? UGC's aren't supposed to be taxed since they are pre-paid O.o

Ah that explains it then, the state tax, where I live we don't have that.

I was always under the impression that pre-paid items like phone cards and such weren't subject to taxes.

theres no taxes on itunes cards

[Inubashiri]

Thats why I find it insanely odd, but I suspect it has to do with how your state (if you live in the US) deals with the taxation of pre-paid items.
