    Do most of you still sometimes get the components to the Fairy Wand in your daily logon bonus surprise chests (see http://drakensangonline.wikia.com/wiki/Fairy-summoning_Wand)?

    If so, do any of you ever get the Flawless Diamond? Do any of you still craft fairy wands?

    My third character - a dwarf - has had the first 3 components of the Fairy Wand in my inventory for almost THREE YEARS, but have NEVER gotten the 4th component (Flawless Diamond). And I STILL regularly get the other 3 components in my daily logon bonuses (just sell them, as I have one of each already in inventory).

    I started my dwarf in Nov 2013 and levelled him up rapidly to catch up with my other two characters. It could not have been more than 3 weeks (so maybe Dec 2013) by the time the dwarf had the first 3 components of the Fairy Wand.

    Recently I realised my dwarf is level 42 and STILL has those components in inventory - ALMOST 3 YEARS LATER!!!

    My first 2 characters got all 4 components pretty quickly (by like level 8 latest - I'm pretty sure by Nov 2013) and crafted their fairy wands.

    I asked support and they assure me that the fourth component - Flawless Diamond - does indeed drop in daily logon bonuses, just 'very rarely'.

    ONCE IN EVERY THREE YEARS RARELY?!?!?

    They say there's nothing wrong with my dwarf's account, but how could this be? My first three characters both had their Fairy Wands by like level eight - were they both just phenomenally lucky????

    I could accept that the Fairy Wand is no longer in game play (but then I'd expect Drakensang to change the daily logon bonus surprise contents such that the first three components quit dropping as well), but support assures me it is still in game (they just express the opinion it's 'no longer relevant', which makes me wonder whether it's REALLY still in game.)

    There are various reasons for a character to still want a fairy wand rather than a mount in urban areas. But if it's not still in game, I don't have a huge problem with that (and I can FINALLY clear the other items out of my inventory). If it IS still in game, I'd like to know why my dwarf still hasn't gotten the last component!

    I've been able to make it on all four of my toons, and I get frustrated any time I see the diamond anymore because that means that it was a wasted box. I'd rather a green item, because that might be useful for crafting.

    Level 43 after 3 years? You just aren't playing that toon much at all? Took me about 3 months of fractured focus to get a new Ranger to Lvl50.

    That aside, yes, I've received that diamond on each of 4 toons, some a couple times. But, the wand is worthless ... the fairy only makes you faster in towns, not in wilderness/dungeons. I don't think you can sell the wand after it's crafted. You're much better off selling the pieces as soon as you get them, thereby also freeing inventory space.

    I'm a collector and I've had it for a long time. Useless, but it reminds me of the time when that was the only "pet" and it was more of a status symbol than anything else.

    ... and one of my alts still has the fairy as I play it rarely, never in events, so it will never have a chance to win, let alone buy, a practical pet.

    My friend just got the Flawless Diamond on his level 30 dwarf two days ago :) So yes, it still drops, you just have to get very very luck I guess!

    As with mostly anything =)). I don't even know why I am still keeping the first 3... even more so since one of the past bonuscodes granted me a Gloomy Harpy with the same effect of 25% runspeed in cities... guess just out of nostalgy. Eh, the life of a hoarder/collector, eh :D ?

    True, true. It is the original, and only pet for quite a while. I would no more drop my old Fairy Wands than get rid of my old Black Sabbath concert T-shirt... which is kind tight around my belly... bit loose on my shoulders... has a couple holes in it too.

    Luck be with ye,
