It would be useful to have free QA COTOS to play around with

    It is nice to have the daily gold giveaway on QA, but some things cost COTOs, and if no player vendor is nearby that sells them, you can't test items that are for sale for COTOs.

    I'm currently in Ardoris looking frantically for a vendor that sells COTOs, but so far no luck. The public vendor doesn't show me anything.

    Pretty sure that won't be able to happen because those are account-level rewards.

    Even when you find them as loot?

    AFAIK, nothing on QA affects Live at all...so not sure what the problem is? I had a bunch of COTOs on QA that I sold off and it didn't affect my Live account at all.

    In any case, I can try and put up some on my vendor in Braemar tonight.

    OK, I will admit to being wrong! I thought COTOs were account rewards.

    Not sure what can be done vs. QA server tho

    Would be nice to have a merchant that sells things for cheap to test things out. Like have 1 gold per coto and materials. Also it would be nice to include maybe some books of unlearning or even books of learning (grants 1 level to a skill) to test things out even better. Books of learning could be used for crafting or any other skill in the game. Would speed things up for people to test things. Have a endless supply of all materials, coto's, even maybe some books of level that grants 1 adventure level. Things like this would be a nice addition to the QA for testing. Shocked they don't already have this available. Just something to keep in mind to help the testing of new crafting or even skills.. Maybe even help test things like bosses and such to help speed up problems that might happen once things go live.. Oh well just my 2 cents.

    Well there are PC merchants with cotos for sale, and we get cash gifts every day.. surely you can just go find a coto vendor if you want some and .. go get ? (if you dont have a few in the bank)

    That's a bit exhausting.
    I see no reason why Port shouldn't be able to inject cotos into the account.
    They are doing it with gold. There is no difference.

    Sure, but it could be worth it to develop something like this for the test realm to catch errors with COTO related items in the test realm prior to making it to live, where it could cause serious damage. Especially if it's a relatively simple fix like adding to the daily gold allotment (Which I have no idea if it is or not, just saying)

    Yes @Earl Atogrim von Draken , I have a bug hunter tag. Please tell me how does wanting to help make the game less buggy turn to be a bad thing?

    Well, usually if you can catch Attenwood online on QA, you can ask him for just about anything for testing. :)

    Trying items obtained from COTO merchants is also testing those items.

    That's not what I said.
    Can we get back to the topic of the op?

    Yes that maybe true but most of us just don't see him online.

    So injecting CotOs to test all the CotO related stuff is actually a good idea.
    There are quite a few things we usually can't obtain in a testing period that are CotO related. We are there to find bugs and not to farm gold or wait for gold injection to run around and buy CotOs to buy stuff we can't test otherwise.

    I just put up a bunch of CotOs on my vendor in Braemar and on the Public Vendor in Ardoris for super cheap. Happy testing!

    QA access to the Dev Hub might be nice ;)

    Starting right now, you will get CotOs and gold awarded daily. The CotOs will be found in the bank. If you've already logged in to the QA server today, then you will get CotOs tomorrow.
