About The Basil Balloon Code No I am not here to ask why

[b][i]Update[/i][/b] - Mr. Basil ran out of codes and is trying to get more. Although he's not sure if he can get anymore.
The codes a day ARE limited.
You don't get the code IMMEDIATELY after answering the clue.
If you haven't gotten yours yet, chances are, the Bot is still in the middle of sending them out to the ones who did them yesterday and didn't get it yet.
If you did Day1's clue and you still didn't get one the day after, just be PATIENT.
There are more people on Basil that's doing this event. Not just you.

Don't get mad because you didn't get the code yet. You will get your code if you be patient.

[b]In previous years we've limited the event to members who've been on the site for at least a few months. Things are a little different this year because of how special the giveaway is. We feel quite fortunate that Nexon has bestowed upon us these lovely little in-game balloons. We want as many people to get them as possible, so we've opened up the giveaway to relatively new members as well - [i]if you've been on the site for a week you're good to go![/i][/b]

^ From Mr.B's Thread.

[b]THE BALLOON IS PERMANENT. It is a cash shop cover over your non NX cape.[/b]

[b]How you do the event.[/b]

At the bottom of the Basil page, there is a bar. There is a little phone that said BMOS Clues. You click on it and read the clues for each day.

Day 1: Vegetable chair:
Hint: Item

You go to the page and find a chair and if you think it's the right answer, click on it. If it's right, at the top of the page it will say you found that days clue. If it's wrong, nothing will show up and you will just have to keep searching. You don't send in any answers till the last day.

I know I am going to get some sarcastic comments like "OH REALLY? I DIDN'T KNOW!" Or "THEY COULD HAVE JUST CHECKED THE FRONT PAGE AND LOOK FOR HELP THERE" Some people apparently won't check or say that's not helpful at all or something. Whatever, I'm just going to leave this here and hopefully help some people.

Edit: I don't know how you people say I gave away the answer if Day1 is right there on the bar....

[b]How you will receive the code[/b]

When you are given the code, the top of the page will have a message that takes up quite a bit of the page. Your code will be in huge bolded letters. You will also receive a PM from the Bot giving you the code incase you forgot to copy or write it down.

Once you have the code, you log onto the character you want to receive the balloon on. Go into cash shop and next to where it says how much NX you have left, to the right of it should be a round button that says "Code" Click on that and paste your code into that box and voila! A Basil Billionaire Balloon(:

[b]And for the people saying I am disqualified, I RATHER BE disqualified and somehow help than have the forum flooded with those threads.[/b]

@mapletimex

Mr.Basil ran out of codes, and he's in the process of trying to get more. Although he's not sure if he'll be able to.

The balloons are 100% chance in getting them. But, they send out limited codes a day.

@ml999: It's okay, some people just barely got them!

@Xonchibi: haha, yea people won't really bother looking around first

@Ezio1503: Yes, the concept is like that. Maybe around 100~200 codes are given a day?

@chowei: You would know when you get a code and pm. The Code appears in huge bolded letters on the front page when you refresh if the bot sent it to you. And in case you didn't write/copy down the code, a bot sends you the code and you will be notified if you have unread mail. You can also check your PMs by hovering your mouse over "Basil ID" on the top and moving down a bit to "Mail"

Wait , ''The codes a day ARE limited'' , that mean example they give 100 codes each day only ?

@chowei If you got a code, it should be sent via PM. If you don't have a PM, you haven't gotten it yet.

BUMP BECAUSE PEOPLE KEEP ASKING ABOUT THIS.

[quote=SmilingCurse]Not that I know of. I'm assuming if I'm disqualified a mod would notify me? Although a mod posted in this thread helping a few. I don't think I am.[/quote]
Helping is fine, and really that's the reason the forums exist in the first place.
Giving the actual ANSWERS is against the rules.

@Colorblind If the code appeared in the yellow banner at the top of the page that answered the day's clue, you should also receive a Basil PM reminding you of the code in case you didn't write it down. It should also appear as a large banner on the Basil front page when you log in again, and give the code to you there also.

[quote=Colorblind]I saw them give me my code at the top of the page and then I went to a different page and I didnt save the code. Clicked away too fast, and I checked my inbox, nothing there. o.o[/quote]

Really? A bot didn't send you a message in your inbox incase you forgot to write it down? Try asking a mod or sending a ticket. I'm sorry to hear about this though.

@SmilingCurse:

I was being facetious.

I was commenting on how most basilers will immediately make a new thread about a topic rather than search for the answer first, like an intelligent person would.

[quote=LittleTLK]It's much easier for people to just make a new thread asking where their balloon is rather than look for the answer first.[/quote]

It is easier. But people won't really bother to answer anymore. Most posters would be like "You should go look for the plenty of other threads first."
And people really should look before actually asking.

[quote=MsAstroBanan]how do i redeem it i got the code but idk where to get the balloon[/quote]
Go to the Cash Shop on the character you want to have the balloon, click the "Code" button below where it shows how much NX you have, type in the code.
You can also Copy and Paste the code from the PM you get reminding you what the code is, just be sure there are no blank spaces before or after the code when you paste it.

@Suckitms: If what @Skyenets: say is correct (It being possible to claim 2 balloons on one account) All you'd have to do is log onto your I/L and transfer the balloon to that character.

[quote=SmilingCurse]You beat me to say that you're not advertising and that you're just trying to help.

But yea, go this guide guys. Mine is hard to understand cause I don't make guides. Just made this thingy today because of all the threads on the front page.

Edit: @Suckitms: I think you can have codes under the same account, just not on the same character. Like say if you have an adventurer, and you get two codes, the balloons will most likely be in the your inventory but you have to log onto different characters that share the cash shop to get the other balloon.[/quote]

oh alright, cause i already have balloon on outlaw, just wondering incase if i get another balloon for my i/l... if not then guess illgive to friend

[quote=StewieFg411]I'm not advertising. I'm making people go to it so they know what to do, and so it doesn't get hidden. The problem is people don't search for the answers and start posting threads, and if people comment the post will be on the front page so people can actually see it and stop making threads. I don't achieve anything by people looking at my thread, all it does is help[/quote]

[quote=Skyenets]Note: Claiming a balloon twice on the same character is impossible. Well it IS possible, however you cannot move both of them in to your inventory, even if one is equipped that very moment.[/quote]

but can you wear 2 balloon on different character under same account? or is it only for 1 balloon per account?

[quote=Icecreamchoco]I know where the questions are... but where do you go to answer them?[/quote]

If you'd read the thread again, I explained how to get the answer. But I'll answer you here.

To answer a clue, you have to find that specific "item"
Like say if todays clue was "A monster pig" you'd go to the monster page, [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/MapleStory-monster-Mutant-Ribbon-Pig-910.html]Monster Pig.[/url] and look for a pig that looks like a monster and click on that monster.
If it's right, at the top of the page, you will get a message saying you found todays clue.

^ That is not any of the clues answer.

What? If you think just because I commented on your thread I felt the need to make this one, the answer is no. I made this thread to help the others who are making threads endlessly to get an answer to a simple question.
