Kings Court Casino is in Shadowhaven on the way to Paludal Caverns (from Nexus). It's the first door just before you go up the stairs on your way from Nexus zone in. open door, turn right, turn left quick, go down stairs for the class-specific token/game NPC and handy banker. Gold Ticket NPC Jacob Thornblade is on the main floor your entered by.


Patch Intro: Shandeling's Roost in Shadowhaven now houses a game of chance. To play you will need to buy a King's Court Token. You then take this token and turn it in to any of the dealers. Based on what your hand turns out to be, you will be awarded a prize. The highest hands will return a gold ticket as the prize. This Ticket can be turned in to win prizes such as a Guise of the Deceiver (not if you are a dark elf), Fungus Covered Great Staff, or Holgresh Elder Beads. Good luck to all that play!

You say, 'Hail, Jacob Thornblade'

Jacob Thornblade says 'Welcome! Welcome to Shandeling's, the gaming hall of chance! The game room is downstairs. If you are lucky enough to get a Gold Ticket, be sure to bring it to me for a spin on the big wheel of prizes! Make sure to tip your waitress well!'

You can buy King's Court Tokens from two Brewing merchants nearby : Nayda Winterwind and Keiya Oakwood.

Note: In order to make sure you can use the item, only give your token to the dealer corresponding to your class. If in doubt, hail the NPC first. Their responses:

Therin Asakith says 'Welcome to Shandeling's Casino! If you would like to try your luck at a game of chance, I can offer you a game of King's Court with prizes best suited for any warrior, monk, or rogue. To play, buy a token from any of the waitresses and hand it to me when ready.'

Gralin Silvertooth says 'Thank you for coming to Shandeling's Casino! If you would like to try your luck at a game of chance, I can offer you a game of King's Court with prizes best suited for any shadow knight, ranger, beastlord, bard, or paladin. To play, buy a token from any of the waitresses and hand it to me when ready.'

Vuri Pandar says 'Welcome to Shandeling's Casino! If you would like to try your luck at a game of chance, I can offer you a game of King's Court with prizes best suited for any druid, shaman, or cleric. To play, buy a token from any of the waitresses and hand it to me when ready.'

Tirac Goldbender says 'Welcome to Shandeling's Casino! If you would like to try your luck at a game of chance, I can offer you a game of King's Court with prizes best suited for any wizard, necromancer, magician, or enchanter. To play, buy a token from any of the waitresses and hand it to me when ready.'

Turn in your token, and in return you can receive a variety of things based upon which item you don't have already:

Nothing (common)
Stat Food (common; the better the stats, the higher the rarity)
More Tokens (range from 2 to 25+ - uncommon)
Fireworks (uncommon)
Gems (rare)
Potions (illusions, various effects - very rare)
Minor Stat Items (very rare)
Gold Ticket (ultra rare)

Should you be lucky enough to snag a Gold Ticket, turn it into Jacob Thornblade upstairs for what is typically a very nice reward.

Upon turning in a gold ticket, a shout is heard across the zone:

Jacob Thornblade shouts 'Ladies and Gentlemen gather around, as our brave _____ is turning in his Golden Ticket for a chance at the big time! With a spin of the wheel let us determine the prize. Ladies and gentlemen, the [race] wins a [prize]. Everyone please congratulate _____ on this excellent luck!'

Note: says "his" even when a female character does the turn in.

If you already have all the items you will see him say this when you try to hand in a gold ticket.

Jacob Thornblade says 'I am sorry, but at the moment our great wheel of prizes is not spinning! Could you try again in a few moments while I try to fix the jam? Thanks!'

Kings Court? it's in Shadowhaven on the way to Paludal Caverns. it's the fist door just as you go up the stairs on your way from Nexus zone in. open door, turn right, turn left quick, go down stairs.

there's even a banker down there--handy for those who hunted luclin and wanted quick access (quick for back then) banker and merchant access.

can't help but feel some nostalgia for those days--not saying they were better, just brings a bit of a smile to me face remembering those times and knowing they're lost forever as change occurs.

has anyone ever gotten a glowing drum BESIDES the black one?

I know the red/green/white drums exist on lucy, but I've seen 4 people win drums and they've always been black.

I'm guessing that when the casino went live there were all 4 colours, but when they made the wheel jam message system they removed the other 3 colours. Either that or the red/green/white drums were from stormhammer.

so has anyone gotten a white/red/green drum at all in 2006?

I myself have won 2 DE masks and 2 black drums on 2 seperate characters in 1 years time. I have all the dropable prizes.

I am convinced that the other drums do not exist anymore. The only drum you can get from the casino is the black one.

I've turned in 13 tickets in my life. all of them I bought for plat. I've never won one.

Dont destroy Lore items..or you will keep getting them..it increases your chance of getting a Gold ticket by keeping them..
As of today...
# Mar 24 2007 at 6:10 AM Rating: Decent
If you already have one of the lesser rewards, it still trys to give it to you, and just destroys it immediately because they're lore. If you watch the appropriate window, you'll occasionally see the "Duplicate Lore Items" message when you turn in tokens. It doesn't increase your odds of getting a Gold Ticket.

I've looked at most of these rewards...am I missing anything or is there nothing really rogue oriented in any of these prizes?

I've spent about 1.2 million pp in the casino since it came out. I've gotten 4 golden tickets, first one took me over 650k to get. Last 2 have come within 100k of each other. Completely random. You have as much of a chance at winning on your first ticket as you do with your thousandth ticket. In order I got, Gaunts, Rubi BP, Ton Bo's, and then Holgresh beads. I already had the fungi staff, and DE mask. I also bought the Scimitar of the mistwalker before turning in my last ticket for holgresh beads. I wasn't going to take the chance and get the scimitar, so I bought it for 80k. I have yet to get a glowing drum. From my personal experience the 2 items you will get the least in the casino is the drum and holgresh beads. One more ticket and drums are mine though!!

Ok, so I have the Ton Po staff, pre-nerf Fungi Staff, Vibrating Gauntlets / Hammer, Rubi. BP, and Mistwalker Scimitar. I'm trying to turn in the 2 Gold Tickets I have and get Holgresh Elder Beads and the DE mask -- is there anyway to guarantee this? There appears to be two possible Drums you can win as well, and neither are LORE -- so does this mean I could turn in 4 gold tickets and get 2 white and 2 black drums and no DE mask / Holgresh beads still? Anybody who has tried this please let me know...

Yes the "trick" to winning the item you want is having the bad winning items on you or in your bank when you do the turn in.You can buy the junk awards from bazaar for pretty cheap (vib gauntlets-20k,po stick-20k,ect)or just borrow them from guildies.

If you do buy the items you still have a chance at winning a drum or guise due to the fact that they are no drop.There is a rumor that if you have the Mask of Deception(nerfed version),or you have a dark elf illusion on you,you will not get the guise of deciever as a reward.

I have won 6 tickets so far and in my last turn in I used this method to get my prenerf fungus staff.It appears that you cannot win both the white and black glowing drum because I had the black drum on me and after almost 100 "wheel is stuck messages" I got my fungus staff.

I would not go into this trying to make plat because imo the only item worth any pp is the elder beads and they sell at around the same price as a gold ticket.Just create your own casino kit and farm away

i've won 6 gold tickets on the last two months on 7th hammer.

won the items in this order:
glowing black drum
Rubicite Breastplate
Ton Po's Bo Stick of Understanding
Vibrating Gauntlets of Infuse
Guise of the Deceiver

at this point, i borrowed a fungus staff and mistwalker scimitar from guildies. i was also concerned that i would win a glowing white drum or another black one. when you hand in a gold ticket, and the NPC tries to give you an item you already have, you get some emote about the wheel is stuck, and to try again.

well, with all the items i have, i had to retry to hand the ticket in 23 times before Holgresh Elder Beads appeared on my cursor.

this tells me two things, it's not possible to win a white drum or even a 2nd black drum when you already have one. hologresh elder beads are extremely rare rewards.

i'm gonna keep pushing my luck with tickets, so see if i can win another seat of beads by default.

good luck
Quick Question
# Jul 21 2005 at 9:17 AM Rating: Default
Does anybody know if the person you get the gold ticket from affects what kind of item you get out of it when you turn it in to the other guy?

Also, what other kinds of things can be won from gold tickest and what kinds of stuff is won for archetype specifics?

Well I just spent 100k in the Casino at one go, here are the final totals.

Roasted Mammoth Sandwich: 588 (Whee I don't have to buy rations for a year)
Club Sandwich: 127
King's Court Sandwich: 4
Gnomish Fireworks: 32
Illusion Potions: 12
Deluxe Sewing Kits: 4
Tree sticks: 3
Elixir: 1
Prayers of Life: 1
Vial of Swirling Smoke: 1
Beer Goggles: 1
"Duplicate Lore" message: 2 (Yes, that's right, it attempted to give me beer goggles 3 times, rather than giving me somthing new! Isn't Sony great?)

Just in case anyone was interested. *Shrug*
Note: There were also several trash gems, these got vendored and so were never counted. I'd estimate the total value between all of them may have approached a whopping four hundred plat.

The duplicate lore messages could also be vial of swirling smoke or any other lore item such as white, red or blue resistance gems or snakefingers.

My monk is like really really really lucky at this game! A few days ago i came here, bought about 5 coins (100pp each with 113 cha) and started handing them in to the monk person. I kept winning more and more coins for prises, i ended up with like 5 stacks of coinds from only buying 5!! I got tons of food, a few illusion potions, 1 heal potion, that thing that turns you into a tree, snakefingers, and beer goggles =D Was really fun, all the times i went there after that ive won atleast 2 stacks of coins from spending atleast only 1k

well anyway my main server is on povar. Ive spent easy over 100k trying to get a golden ticket on there...I ran outta cash, so i went to my old server...bought about 5k worth of tokens. Turned a few in, and got a golden ticket...I was shocked! turned it in and got a DE mask. Few minutes later, got ANOTHER gold ticket, and ended up with holgresh elder beads. Im thinkin it was just pure luck..which is amazing cause i never have any usually =P just sucks because i wanted those on povar!

Which npc do I give the golden ticket to in order to get the guise of the deceiver?
RE: which npc?
# Oct 17 2005 at 10:11 PM Rating: Default
completely random. although u can kinda rig it to get your chances down. you can buy most of the other items in the bazaar that they have for prizes, and not many of them are very expensive. theres ton po,mistwalker,pre-nerf fungus staff, rubicrate bp,black and white drums(no drop) and holgersh beads, as well as a guise of the deciver which is a clicky from invintory by anyclass that turns u into a dark elf.

theres 4 total items u cant get by rigging it. some say that u cant get 2 drums, so technically if u get a drum and a mask, and u got the other items, your guarenteed a holgresh elder beads. idk about other servers but on bristlebane last i heard beads were going for north of 600k. a lot of people will sell tickets for mabye 300-400k. its very nice since beads will sell fast, and you can make a 2-3 hundred k profit in no time, granted you have the cash/luck to the get the other items/tickets.
RE: which npc?
# Nov 19 2006 at 10:56 AM Rating: Decent
well, this might not have to do with any thing but after about an hour of handing in tockens, i put on the beer gogles i had won, and got a cha buff, raising my cha in total to about 320, after this within 20 minutes i had won a golden tick, im not sure if cha helps more, but i won after this.
WON!!
# Mar 12 2005 at 7:52 AM Rating: Decent
Finally!! after blowing about 130k in that Cazic forsaken casino I finally won a Gold ticket (off 30k), I was really trying for the Guise, but won the Holgresh elder beads and sold for 400k ;) not bad profit. I went back to try my luck and lost 40k but I'll keep playing until I get that freaking mask.

Ranger buddy wanted the Scimitar of the Mistwalker from here...So I decided to try my luck and spend 2k. First few tokens were relitively uneventful. Once I got down to 4 tokens I recieved a yellowish envelope. I thought "surely that's not a golden ticket."

I was wrong, golden ticket on 2k and 4 tokens remaining. Went ahead and turned it in hoping for the scimitar (since it's dropable). Got a Guise of the Deciever which is just as cool =D Dark Elf Shammy powah!

My friend sunk 30k in and still no ticket. Beer Goggles and the Snake Gloves but no ticket. We'll keeep trying I guess ^_^

I decided to try it out today just for fun. I had heard that you have to spend a decent amount of plat just to get anything. I was just going to try it out with 14k. I got lots of stat food (cheaper to buy better stuff in the bazaar) and 3 gnomish fireworks. Best 14k I ever spent, honest.
