Hello everyone, and forgive me already for spamming the news with my obnoxious
ideas.

Santa has been tuned, apparently the known feature of getting better
presents when you wait with them until 24th got too widely known, and like
everything else in Bat, when it becomes common knowledge it gets removed or
tuned to shit.

I think Santa is a fun event for christmas time, but at the moment, he seems
to be handing out mostly crap that is not useful to anyone. Stuff that would
get ignored even as monster drops, or booze or weird items, like a bag
(empty). Yes it costs maybe 2 gold in a shop, thank you Santa.

In order to make Santa more interesting I suggest the following change to the
pool where the presents are picked from:
- Remove all the useless random material random type gear from present pool
- Remove everything else that can be bought in a shop for minimal cost
- Add interesting stuff:
-- Items with some +flavour, for example the christmas hat is one at the
moment.
-- Consumables that give some effect:
--- like that candy from Shinarae's past event
--- or pills
--- or food
--- or reincflasks
--- or potions, or salves, or something
-- More gnomic apparatuses that do weird things
-- Scrolls, with the chance of something useful, like youth
-- Reagents, runestones, songbooks, relic maps, etc guild specific stuff based
on players current guild(s).
-- Ship things if sailor
-- Golems
-- Mounts
-- Skillbooks
-- Unknown implants
-- Effect similar to shrine sac or bless
-- Christmas effects, a version of godly effects
-- Free tiger mission
-- Chests
-- etc

Basically anything that would be of some use for the recipient. A fur cap, or
bronze tie is not. Nor is iron sombrero.

Or even if it was not useful, it would at least be fun.

Just my two cents. Merry christmas everyone, ho ho ho.
