A Message from Quiddity Cointosser

'Ey you! I'm Quiddity, of the Cointosser branch of the family. My cousin, Quibble, said if I ever had something really unique, something for very discerning customers, that I should head to Battleon and seek you out. So from time to time I might just show up with a few rare finds you might be interested in.

I am who I am, and that's all that I want to be – the essence of myself, if you will. It's the very meaning of my name! I like to take chances; it's why I travel so much. I never know what I'll find... and I like it that way.

Now Available: Player-Requested NeOni Helm Variants

After receiving requests for non-morph helm variants of last week's NeOni gear, we've just added a new shipment of hair helms. Male and female variants of both the horned "no-morph" and mortal/un-horned helms are now available in the NeOni Set Collection pet + Quiddity's rares shops.
