While I find this to be incredibly funny, that's sorta mean. Let's have a bake sale and buy you a second age! I'm looking for one for you...

Er... I don't really understand the process of those Gift Boxes... but that seems like an Ouch? What do you have to do to get a gift box? What comes inside? Anyway, sorry it wasn't what you wanted. I hope your next one is better!

You grind out instances in moria to get these special items called the Lorien Gold Leaves, or whatever. As you see, it takes 35 of those and some silver ones to get one of those boxes. The instances will net you a maximum of 6 gold leaves per 24 hour period, and probably takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to grind through all of them. So, ideally, you can get one gift box every 6 days, or 12 hours of grinding. The gift box is class specific, and it has a chance of giving you a level 60 2nd age legendary item for that class. What it gave in this case are tokens that you can use to improve your current legendary weapons, tokens that are pretty common and easy to get through other means.
So basically, the reason I'm upset here is that after all the work I did to get those tokens, I wound up with 2 relics that are no help at all. Understandably its not easy to get the maximum loot, but it's like working through a 12 hour long instance then loosing the loot roll on the final boss. Just very, extremely annoying is all =X.

Ouch, sounds like a good old-fashioned grind.
There are other ways to get a 2nd Age, right? Can't you buy them off the AH?

you can get 2nd agers off the AH sure... Dolen is a hunter tho and hunter ones are pretty rare, and thusly cost uber gold on the AH you can also by chance get them as drops like 3rd ages one, just a lot LOT less likely 3rdly, you can, again per chance, get them out of the Chest of Glan Vraig in the moors per turning in 25 tokens of valour.... for someone who seems to hang out in the moors a lot, this is a decent way of attempting to get them as you can build up tokens easily enough with quests and even if you dont get a 2nd ager, you can still get some good potions and other things out of the chests as well BUT, going back to the craft instances that you are farming for the tokens to trade for the leaves Dolen.... here is a little tip that will take some of the grind out of it for you... not the physical grind but the time grind all solo instances (this includes the dolven view ones and the craft instances), reset at 3 AM EST daily... so, as someone who seems to play fairly late on a regular basis also... and figuring how quickly you can run thru them all in a row (you said about 2 hrs?).... just start at a time between midnight and 1 am EST, run them all once, wait out whatever lil time remains and then do them all again! of course, after that 2nd time, you have to wait for the next reset. so this works in more of an every other day kinda tactic. which in the long run wont actually necessarily save you a lot of time per se... but it will free you up every other night to do something else, which will help relieve that grinding feel of doing them every night of course, you have to deal with the extra grinding feel of doing them twice in a row one night for many hours straight lol so in the end, it's a toss up on how you wanna roll with it i suppose

Dude, that sucks balls. Exactly what I was afraid of, and thus why I haven't bothered trying for one.

Ya, I'm a sucker and got one. I got pretty much the same thing. TOTALLY not worth the time and effort.
