I swear, I've given 12 people expensive gifts but the stupid thing won't give me my shield! What the heck am I doing wrong? I keep increasing the amount of sp I spend but nothing works!

are you sending gift boxes (selecting wrapping paper, etc) or sending presents? iirc, the shield wants you to use the presents feature.

I did the gift wrapping first but then was told to use Presents. I sent gifts worth 50k each, then 100k, then 200k. Nothing.

it's way more than 200k. i found my post from when i did it, but i didn't say how much and i'm having trouble finding exactly how much it was, but i gifted four people and it was definitely more than 200k/each.

Sheeze. I wasted all that sp.

count it as this month's act of kindness. Winter Sphinx Trinket - solved you're spending a small fortune for that shield either way.

500k isn't terrible but now I still need to reaccumulate for a few days.
