Title says it all. I feel like by the time these are handed out i have everything i wanted either paid with gold or by max stats/supers and feel like they would be better appreciated at the start

Support. This happens every time. I am always already done with fest by the time the rewards come in.

Honestly I don't think it matters to much, the prizes are just pets and not growing/sculpting/brewing/carving supplies, it's probably easier for krin to just hand them out when he does the rest of the prizes for the other contests. Not sure what the huge difference is but I personally don't have an issue with it

@Limor: Actually, recently, participation prizes have been added which do include brewing supplies, and I assume it is these prizes that Katt is referring to. From the first post of the fall theme contest thread:

"All Participants
With a minimum of 10 valid designs

Prizes: [Fabled Brew Catalyst] x1, [Premium Vial Holder] x2, [Box of Brewing Supplies] x1, [Box of Brewing Agents] x2, [Chocolate Coin] x500"

@initial suggestion: For what it's worth, I agree that these prizes would be much more helpful nearer the beginning of fest as, by the end, not only are they usually not needed, but could even be resented >>

ahh yep I misread I thought it meant themed picks from designers
