How many of you actually used yours? Mine's still sitting in my cabinet. I've only played a little over a month, but I feel my level's too high for me to use the stick now. :s
BTW, I've heard of a level 60 using a greeter stick (not sure how that happened), so as long as you feel like you have something to ask that won't waste the real-life greeter's time, go for it :).... or keep it forever as a monument to your total self-reliance.
As are Play Cubes. But I've figured out how to trade them at will. Same method would theoretically work on a greeter stick (I'd love to test my theory).
I was just too enthusiastic about the game to actually use it, so I stuck it in the cabinet to make room in my pack for other stuff. Later, I invited my brother to play Glitch, and he told me how nice his greeter was, so I started wondering if I'd missed out on a key newbie experience. But I like like Shepherdmoon's suggestion to keep the stick as a souvenir, so that's what I'll do. :)
They are 100% soulbound and not able to be dropped, placed, SDB'd, but can be put in a bag in a cabinet.
Unless you actually do need help the nice people who greet in the game are all well known people who you will encounter on a daily basis anyway.
If I decided to use a twig just for the experience (which really is a waste of the greeters time but they are so nice I'm sure they wouldn't complain) I would suggest using it in a weird or instanced location that only one person could traditionally exist.
I used mine on almost as soon as I got it, and met the most wonderful Glitch. She has taught me so much, and still teaches me now! MyooKat <3s MerMaid 4 eva XD
I have a greeters stick that I snuck out of an area I was not meant to be in. I cant bring myself to use it, if anyone wants to buy it send me a message. person with top price in next 24 hours can have it, if they know how to get it off me that is...
Here is how you waste a greeter's time: call one, then tell them when they arrive that you don't want to talk to them (or just run off without saying anything).
i think i somehow got rid of mine and i have no idea why i did that :(
(one time my bf was like, "you still have that thing?" and so i probably tried to be all grown up glitch about it and discarded it, but now i miss it as a souvenir.)
i actually had no idea what it did - i don't know how i completely glazed over that part, i just knew i had this stick in my bag for some reason.
I thought it was a stick to find something.. like water. Then I tried to use it the other night and it told me all Greeters were busy. I like the idea, but maybe if there was a quest to make use of it earlier on in the game, like a tutorial, that would have helped greatly. Some newbs are afraid to ask people for help so that would be a nice ice breaker.
As a greeter, I can tell you we wait anxiously for the needy Glitch to tweak their Twig and we are disappointed/frustrated to be ignored or ditched by the greetee. If you use your Twig, please at least stop to talk for a bit. We like to socialize and help other players broaden their experience of the game (and we have a wealth of information and experience to share)--those are the main reasons we became greeters. Many folks' first and longest friend in Glitch is their greeter. Don't run: start a friendship!
