[i]"Mmhm.. Yes..." the Arcanist murmured to himself, leaning his full weight into the massive telescope. He swung it carefully, aiming it just over the horizon to observe this year's Harvest Moon. It seemed bigger than usual with the striking silhouette of the Tangled Wood just below, with spindly trees that formed intricate webs with their limbs against the soft white glow.
He stepped back from the eyepiece to observe Sornieth as only he saw it from above; a warm, playful breeze signaled the end of summer and dashed through the Viridian Labyrinth, creating a soothing, rustling sound. Soon it would be acorn season, he thought eagerly, wringing his many claws together. The Arcanist, though a wise and powerful deity with infinite possibilities, really, [b]really [/b]liked acorn coffee. So much that he waited until conditions were just right, under the early fall Harvest Moon, when the acorns were sweetest and made the smoothest, richest acorn coffee a dragon could ever hope to taste. Tonight was the night where the Arcanist would liberate those plump, earthy little nuts from their trees at the base of the Tangled Wood; quietly and in the dead of night to avoid drawing attention to his secret acorn thicket that he tended to all year round in anticipation of this evening.
Yet the Arcanist knew that Sornieth counted on him to stand watch over the skies, and never left the night unguarded. With his basket slung around his neck, he carefully laid a small, velveteen pouch beside the telescope; a toolkit for his student, who would be keeping watch while the Arcanist gathered his prized goods. A hastily scrawled note of thanks was laid beneath it, instructing the recipient to keep the goods within as a token of his gratitude for their service.
He looked over his shoulder one last time before taking off into the night, giddy for the harvest that awaited him. [/i]

[b]What are the pendants made of? [/b]
The pendants are made of polymer clay burnished with alcohol ink for an aged metal look. The Arcanist pendant is polymer clay encased in an alloy locket with a antique gold-like appearance.
[b]Does the pocket laser need batteries?[/b]
The pocket laser requires one AAA battery. I can't ship you a battery due to very strict laws on shipping potential fire hazards like batteries (very, very expensive!) so you will need to throw an AAA battery in there.
[b]What's the deal with shipping? How long does it take?[/b]
I will ship the prizes within a week of the conclusion of the raffle. In the U.S., your items should take roughly 5 business days to arrive. If you are international, your package's arrival time could vary greatly based on your country's customs procedures and backlog, so please be patient!
[b]How do I know a dragon's exalt value? [/b]
With dragons, we will let you know their ticket value once exalted so you can add it to the spreadsheet! You can request a screen capture if you like and we'll be happy to provide one.
[b]What's a creation myth anyway?[/b]
A creation myth is a story of how the world or various creatures in it were created. Many cultures, from early tribal cultures to fully developed societies like ancient Greece, have their own unique creation myths! This could be anything from the Big Bang to Grandmother Spider weaving the universe from a web of silk.
[b]Why do I need to enter my own tickets on a spreadsheet? How do I do it? [/b]
I work full-time and this raffle is much too big for me to manually input everyone's tickets, so we are having players enter their own raffle tickets via the honor system. The spreadsheet has a nifty pricing reference locked at the top when scrolling so you can easily keep track of the math. Simply enter the value of what you have donated and update your 'Total Tickets' to the far right.
For gems and treasure, that's easy - if you donate 100kt and 10 gems, you can enter 100kt and 10 gems under the Treasure and Gem columns respectively. As tickets are 500t & 0.5 gems, your Ticket Total would be 220 tickets.
If you enter an egg, apparel, or food, just check the AH for the lowest AH pricing and convert that to ticket count. If you enter an egg worth 240 gems, you would earn 480 tickets under Ticket Total.
[b]When entering tickets, do I need to input separate line items, or keep all of my entries to a single line?[/b]
You can add them in separate line items or keep a running total on just one line, it's up to you and whatever you find easiest. I will sort by username and tally it all up at the end, anyway, so as long as it's on the sheet, it will count!

This raffle runs on the honor system, and we will be periodically checking the list for anything that doesn't belong there, so [b]please be cool to your fellow players and input tickets only after you have purchased or earned them!
