What are fireworks for?

So I've got all these fireworks. Are they good for anything besides the "oooh" and " Aaahhh" factor? Should I just throw them away to save my space for something else?

You can crash people in siege to obtain an advantage. Usually crashing your own guildies, but hey still annoying as hell.

You can plant like 30 of them around a bot and see if you can crash it.

There is one event during a festival I believe that does take fireworks from you. I do not remember which one, but it 'seems' to me it was a worthwhile turn in. Someone else who remembers better than me could enlighten, but it doesn't hurt to keep a certain amount of fireworks for just such an occasion.

fireworks are 99% of the time used for gm events.. when entire servor is in one spot pulling a gm apron strings asking for handouts..and people drop about hundred of them.. lag out half the servor back to log in screen, then gm leaves... and HUGE qq fest happens afterwards when they log back in to find GM gone....

They are mainly for taking up room in your inventory. Some of the festivals and events they can be traded for rewards also. They also look pretty :D

We GM:s do crash too from these fireworks so would highly suggest to not use any, especially if we come with gifts then you might not get any.

So the main use of fireworks is to create lag and cause people to be dropped from the game. Seems about right. Another thing in the game that only purpose is to cause problems with no redeeming features.

For me, it was that one event. Without being sure in any way, I believe it's the Snowflake festival fireworks? turn in. Takes 1 firework from you each day. And the rewards would get generally better, though partially random, as long as you turned in before 24? hours was up. Max was somewhere around 7? on the build up. I simply remember not having enough fireworks stored up on a few alts to do the turn in.

yet fireworks are one of the oldest items. while they may be useless, so are having different variations of mounts that have the same +movement speed.


it's for fun. if you don't like it, then, well, don't collect them.
