The elusive storm and riftborn 20th anniversary cookies!!!

As a nice treat for Luminaire, Alexander at the Library has the chance to give out the delicious storm and riftborn cookies from his quests. How'd he get his hands on enough to last the month? Well, he had a very rich benefactor who totally didn't lose a bet.

Like the other 20th Anniversary cookies, these will retire at the end of the month. These two cookies will still be able to go out their original ways.

I feel like this was answered before but were the previous crystal and token shop restocks for cookies the last ones or are we getting one last hurrah for them?

One hand, I'm glad thst they're finally here, but this feels kind of anticlimactic.

That's the thing with Subeta; you have to be careful with your purchases. When you make big purchases, understand that you're paying for timing. At any moment that rare item can become common. That is exactly why certain items remain on my wishlist. These two cookies were poorly released, and that was obvious a few days into it. It was stated in the news comments that these particular cookies would be revisited later to get more into circulation. The writing was on the wall.

I didn't expect there to be an abundant supply, but I'm glad I'll be able to get them now.

There can be a lot to keep up and I don't recall the announcement of making them easier to obtain eventually. I actually thought people said it was glitched and The Tempest was supposed to give them out on the first random event. I thought the item you could buy for a ton of sp was also 100% way to get them too. I personally didn't spend money on trying, but yeah I think this was a special case. Collecting is one of the few things you can do on Subeta and maintain that the initial challenge for these was too high and discouraging for a one time event.

Thank you very much! If people had the sp and didn't want to wait, they could of course buy the more expensive ones. However, for some, it is not as easy, like in my case, I get nearly all my sp from quests because shops yet another thing that overwhelms me. Fortunate that people gifted me a few as well, but most, I did get from the original way. Point is whether people bought them, or got from the various places and such, and even with these ones now being easier, I think we all worked for them in some way.

Amber told us from pretty early on, when it was clear those two cookies were gonna be a struggle, that she had a plan to make them easier to obtain in December. If folks wanted them sooner and chose to buy rather than wait for the promised easier release, I don’t think that’s really on staff.
Exactly, what I was going to say! I remained all chilled waiting for the mentioned "other way". Even though I also agree, that they still should have remained quite a bit harder to obtain (See Shark example). (Yet hoping for the Storm Cookie before the odds are turned down to 0,01 , rofl)

Btw., I am under the impression, that the Rift, since the cookies were introduced, spits out nothing a lot more frequently. Which is fine for me as well, even though damage to all the retired items' worth has already been afflicted :-(

Phew! lol let's see, got a 20th Anniversary Riftborn Kumos Cookie on his first quest, the one I already had. Hopefully the Tempest one will come along soon. If chances are as "low" as with the Shyshark Bait, it'll be all good. I already have 4 of the "rare" fish!

Oh my YES! Thank you so much. I am glad to have a different way of getting it. I've been visited by tempest 4-5x since the Anniversary release and visited the rift almost every day with NO LUCK! So having this other way to get these last two cookies and complete my achievements is wonderful! Thank you thank you thank you!

as someone who also spent a pretty penny on one of the cookies, it definitely does suck to be out that sp, but at the same time, that was the price to pay (heehaw) to have the item at that time due to its scarcity and i was willing to pay it. while i won't say that it's so easy that one will have hundreds of millions in an instant, making sp isn't especially difficult, one just has to be consistent with trying. it's possible to come back from what was spent, so i can't (personally) see a point in getting particularly upset over it.

Thank You so very much for making it possible to be able to get this cookies, I do try my hardest to work on achievements but at times it can be hard for me because I do lose my focus a good bit of the time and by the time I remember about whatever achievement I was on it retires. So again Thank You ❤️🤗

I expected like a limited of 50-100 to be given away, but now it's just like any other cookie. I'm one of those who spent a lot for them, so it is disappointing.

Finally there was a tough achievement, but now it's just easy like others, what's the point of achievements if some of us, especially the hardcore collectors, can't hold some rare to get ones?

It's not the first time that I spend a lot on achievements, just for them to end up being 1000sp a few months later.

I wasn't aware that the cookies will retire at the end of the year. (Makes perfectly sense though if I think about it.) Can anyone provide a list where I get which cookie? Just slightly freaking out a bit...

The idea was to work for these, just like the others. The others you did have actively work for (play slots, do quests for points, etc etc). These were the only two that were purely random based, and I always knew that would be difficult for people. I wasn't going to adjust the odds on the tempest pool just like I wasn't going to adjust the rift. We do want achievements to be achievable because it's not likely they will return. It's like the shark bait item, you can get it from fishing but also a tiny chance from a quest (I was dumb and messed the odds up at first but that has been updated!). These can still be achieved from the RE or trying the rift. 🤷‍♀️

Now you make me feel guilty for selling those for 100 mil sP a cookie. It's even a bit ridiculous. Why make them very hard to get at first, and now throw them around like this? Things like this remove all the challenges and fun of this site. I get that a lot of people want to collect them, but not everything has to be this easy. Now managing to get them all isn't a fun activity to work towards anymore. Now it's just 'click here', 'click there', 'congrats, you got them all'...

Seriously though, thanks. Now I might actually finish that collection. Been tossing things in the rift every day since they came out, and haven't gotten a single one yet.

I don't want to be that guy, but these were almost impossible to get until now. People spent millions upon millions trying for them. Yes these were random and people knew it, but I honestly think this should have been done much sooner so they didn't have to waste their money.

Got 2 cookies in 15 quests but of course they were both the same. So I just bought the other one since the prices have plummeted. Nice. Thanks.
