How to- Gift Giving/Recieving

[Bayushi Haruka]

Just a little quick How To on the new gift giving feature for Emerald Empire! (And you don't even have to refuse it two times!)
It's very easy and hopefully it should answer any obvious questions..

When you click on the interact page, we have the chat feature still, but next to people in your vicinity you've got a new give gift button!



Obviously you can only send one gift to a single person per day. But how many gifts you can give is based on your air ring, and of course your fate/koku at the time.


To recieve your gift-
Most people have been forced into the new gaming window setup for facebook. If not then the process might be different for you. But if you hover over the EE icon the names will drop down and when you click on it, it will bring you to the accept/refusal page.

Recieving gifts is also based on your air ring, so remember that!



~Enjoy! And thank you Jay :3

Nice, I see you picked up on this quickly

I added a way to receive gifts from the "interact" page also, in case some people find the facebook game interface too clunky. If you have gifts waiting it should display a link there.

You can also give gifts to people via your Dynasty, or the high score pages.

Also worth nothing: if you accept someone's gift, you automatically give them a clan favor (of your clan) in return.

Likewise if someone accepts your gift, they will automatically give you their clan favor in return. (Accepting the "thank you" favor does not itself incur a favor, though.)

I thought about doing the "refuse 3 times" thing but figured that would just be too annoying.

I've purposely not added any in-game way to ask for a specific item. My understanding of Rokugan society is that it would be a great loss of face to actually say "I need X". It's more correct for some courtier to somehow notice that you need X and just happen to give it to you - for which you would owe them a favor.

I have the link on the interact page saying I have one to receive, but I don't.... actually have one to receive.

Sorry Jay.. I'm far too hawkeyed to miss anything. Be it forum or game changes XD

[Bayushi Hisa]

Are these items from our inventory that are sent?

Also, if you go to your Dynasty tab and view dynasty you can send gifts to them.

I think I fixed this now. Thanks for the report.

The items that you gift to other players are not from your inventory; they represent items that you are able to arrange for other players to receive due to your influence and wealth. (represented by spending fate and koku.)

lol, just noticed I was in the one picture, with such fine esteemed gentlemen, like the Scorpion and Lion Champion. And then that spidery-fellow. =D

A small question. Let's say, I offer a gift to another player (let's say a Crab), who gratefully accepts it. Then, the game automatically generates a Crab favor for me to accept or not, without him paying any Fate/Koku. However, the Crab player also wants to send me some iron, because he feels I might need it. What happens then? Do I get to choose which one I accept? Can I accept only one of his gifts per day? And if I accept his Crab favor, does this count towards my day maximum?

What I'm trying to clarify is whether the Crab Favor he owes me is automatically added to my inventory, or if I have to accept it, and therefore lose one of my other items for the day. In my opinion, it should be added automatically.

You know, the first time I saw that, I literally asked myself: should I click refuse the first two times I get something from somebody?

I'm glad I didn't, though...
