    The fourth Mom and Dad item for the Rudolph Nose is untradeable.

    Why is it untradeable? Someone said something about people farming and selling Pilgrim Piece D being an issue, but I don't see why that's a problem. Sellers make money, buyers get their stuff, everyone's happy! I don't see why the only way to get the last piece is pure chance. I'm worried that I'm going to turn in food every day and just end up with a bunch of silk and stretchy material, only to fall short on the orb by the time the event ends.

    Can anyone shed some light on the matter?

    If I had to guess, it's probably to get people to actually do the event quest instead of just buying the materials.

    ive gotten the nose on 2 characters now, i don't see it being a big deal tbh. i wouldn't worry about not getting one! just keep handing in what you need to, and you'll sure get one!

    probably to make it so you don't pay to get every event item, so you actually has to speak to a NPC and participate for a bit to aquire it all

    I did the quest 34 times so far ( on different characters every day) and I only got 1 orb, on a mule even. I fear that I might not be able to get the orb on one of my main characters.

    Maybe for future events we also give each daily quest a token, and at the event's conclusion, people who are still missing particular items can swap tokens for the one they're missing. That way you encourage participation, make sure nobody suffers from bad luck, and can still avoid simply buying rewards.

    The rates are a little ridiculous. I've done it three times each day and I just finally got an Orb today.

    got 3 in one day 2 on mules that have no use xD
    but i made noses anyways

    edit: if they made orbs tradeable, they may as well make face accessory leaves from showa tradeable too.

    The rate is the exact same rate as the D piece was for the Pilgrim hat event. The only difference is the orb is untradeable, to encourage people to actually *do* the event not just buy their way through it. We're only a week and some days into the event, you have plenty of time still. I got mine within the first two days on two of my chars.

    My sentiments exactly. Keep at it and chance are much more likely that you'll be able to get that orb.

    Please remove the tradelock on the orb. I want to give a character a nose but luck has not been so kind to it. :(

    Note that orb is untradeable. Once you complete 15 trades and do not have an orb, you'll automatically receives one.

    This part isn't entirely true, your chance to obtain one increases but you don't automatically receive one.
