The time is finally here! After over 550+ votes made by the community, the results of the Trade Task Exp Contest are finally in!
In Round 1, we had members submit ideas for trade tasks that they would like to see added to the Guidebook. In Round 2, members voted on the submissions in a public poll. In Round 3, the 5 top-voted submissions for each trade moved on to the final Staff review and decision, to see what ideas would be getting added officially to our trade system!
Petals are claimable at the end of each round.
- 2 petals per suggestion (that follow the contest rules);
- 5 petals per suggestion that gets voted on and moves to the Staff vote; and
- 10 petals per suggestion that is added to the Guidebook (and, of course, bragging rights!)
If your suggestions are on this list, you can claim 5 petals per task! Note that some trades have more than 5 suggestions because of ties in the voting!
