I also received a ball-in-a-cup.

Ball-in-a-cup here. Someone who knows how, make a page for it. +2 Mysticality per fight, so I figure there's a muscle one and a moxie one as well.

I got a set of jacks.

These set of Crimbo presents are disappointing. I mean, that's it?! That's all they're going to give?!--Penguin Overlord 22:13, 24 December 2007 (CST)

Muscle one is a handmade hobby horse (also +2, to Muscle). And, yeah, I'm feeling pretty stupid here for picking both of the other ones up for a decent bit of change without first checking the stats; maybe it's time to call it a night.--Carrothatman 22:15, 24 December 2007 (CST)

Yeah, so far these are the only three I've heard of. Also keep in mind though, we've gotten a new item every day for the past twelve days, including some awesome equipment/accessories, a new familiar, a new outfit, and some of the strongest combat items yet. If it helps... think of it as hanukkah rather then Christmas. A gift a day and so forth, rather then all at once. -Darkwolf 22:21, 24 December 2007 (CST)

To be honest, they're not all that different from the Tropical Crimbo set. And if nothing else, a "disappointing" set of items as the final gift fits the whole theme as expressed in the "the old days were better" rant from the final adventure in the Dodecahedron. --Douglas Hossenfeffer 22:28, 24 December 2007 (CST)
  • Actually, they're slightly better than the Tropical Crimbo set, as these can be used like the manual of dexterity/transmission/labor, for a few exp a day. And maybe even a trophy, like The Butler Did It? --Jimfromtx 14:16, 27 December 2007 (CST)

I have three accounts. One muscle classed, one mysticality classed, one moxie classed. The muscle one opened the horse, the mysticality one got a ball-in-a-cup, and the moxie one got the Jacks. Coincidence, or does the item you receive depend on your current class? --Lolo 22:31, 24 December 2007 (CST)

  • I also got moxie on a moxie account and myst on my myst main. --The KoW 22:35, 24 December 2007 (CST)
    • I got a ball-in-a-cup on my seal clubber... Guessing you got lucky. --Denarius 22:39, 24 December 2007 (CST)
  • I'm moxie class with muscle zodiac and got the horse. Might be something like current class if not ascended or current zodiac sign if ascended.
  • My 3 accounts had no matches. Muscle and moxie got the ball in cup, and mystical got the jacks. I think Lolo got very lucky.....--Vince3 03:15, 25 December 2007 (CST)

No [Crimborg] themed wrapping paper, though -- hey? Nah. Too much of a recurring theme I suppose. Gotta shake it up a bit. ;) --MinuteEgg 22:34, 24 December 2007 (CST)

  • Skully said that to discourage multiabuse that the wrapping present way of outfits was not going to be used this year. --Chunky_boo 22:38, 24 December 2007 (CST)
  • As an AT under a moxie sign, I got the jacks. So I dunno, there may be something to that. --Santasassassin 04:57, 25 December 2007 (CST)

Does saving Uncle Crimbo and Crimbo from being assimilated by finishing the dedecahedron give an additional prize? --Shademaster00 09:58, 25 December 2007 (CST)

  • As far as I've seen, no. And the matching is purely coincidence. (3 Moxie accounts, all Blender, one got the cup and the other two got the horsey.)--MaskedLihc 11:11, 25 December 2007 (CST)
Definitely coincidence, since my Muscle Class/Muscle Sign multi got the Jacks, and my Myst Class/Myst Sign multi got the Horse. --Douglas Hossenfeffer 11:49, 25 December 2007 (CST)

Hmm, these aren't too bad, not that great equipment-wise, but then again, it's like having an extra manual of transmission/dexterity/labor. Free additional exp each day is quite nice...and for that matter, I wonder if there's a trophy for using the toy a certain number of days... --Jimfromtx 01:28, 27 December 2007 (CST)

Has anyone thought about the gift depending on your highest stat? I've tried three users, including a Myst who got a hobby horse, and it seems to work for everyone. --JasonTheMan

Miscellaneous

i bet this made multi-abuse on crimbo a tad less easy... --El taco 19:38, 28 December 2007 (CST)

Insofar as you can't collect multiple presents on the same character. However, the items obtained from opening the present are themselves tradeable, so people could still use their multis to help them get a full set or start a leaderboard level collection. --Flargen 08:06, 1 January 2008 (CST)

Reference

"Don't put your eye out" is likely a referece to "A Christmas Story", where the main character wants a BB gun and all the adults, from his mother and teacher to Santa Claus himself, tell him "You'll shoot your eye out!"--Antoids 20:55, 26 December 2007 (CST)
