Now i know that this has been suggested many times before. But i can't help but think: Why don't we have one yet? So my idea is that...

For every day you log in you will get one Spark of Life(bound)and then you would open the new Prize Wheel tab and spin a Prize Wheel.(similar to the one you see in the Golden Slime Casino)There would be a small calendar is the corner of the screen that show how many days of the month you have logged in and the days you have missed. All items you receive will be bound. You can only obtain one of the listed below rewards per day

-Basil only recipes(Suited to your rank)

-Three Battle Sprite food(Type of sprite food chosen at random and suited to your rank)

-A pack of five Materials in between(suited to your rank)

-10 Fire crystals(suited to your rank)

-A single Orb of alchemy That can be one star level higher and all star levels under it.

-Three Golden Slime Coins(obtainable at all ranks)

-UV ticket - all ranks, all 3 variants. Rarer than other items. Chance to get one starts at 1%, and increases by 1% for each consecutive day you log in. This number resets once a day is missed or a ticket is gained

But wait... There more!

If you log in every day of the month you get a Monthly Prize Box! Now the Monthly Prize Box and all of its contents would be bound. Now as to what it would contain? It would give you 10 Sparks of life guaranteed along with 30+ Fire crystals.(Star level chosen at random) And a low chance of receiving 3 Orbs of Alchemy!(Star level chosen at random)

Thank you for reading this and if you have any suggestions to make this better please tell me below. I'll make sure to put it in the main thread and note that you suggested it.

-Thanks to Neekkoths suggestion. The amount of Monthly Prize Boxes you get will be one.

-Thanks to Neekkoths suggestion. You would now get more then one reward per day.

-Thanks to Sir-Pandabear Neueragon and Fangels suggestion the Crowns are being replaced with a Spark of Life.

-Thanks to Neueragons suggestion. The Monthly Prize Box would no longer contain older promo items.

-Thanks to Fangels suggestion i now have a clear image of what the User Interface would look like and how it would function

-Thanks to Fangels suggestion other rewards have been added.

That amount of money is easily abused by the use of alts. Even without alts the accumulation of money each day is too much. In a few weeks someone would be getting 150k a week.

The sum from 1 to 30 is

The sum from 1 to 30 is 465... you'd make 465k crowns a month and we'd reach serious hyperinflation.

Maybe throw in some bound materials, fire crystals, pet food and orbs instead, or even unbound receipts.

Oh and you could make 78 monthly prize boxes per year.

To the above replies.

Not gonna lie... The use of alt accounts completely slipped my mine. :/

I also did do the math about the sum from 1 to 30/31 but derped up and put the original idea.

The idea that was supposed to be there was: 1,000 Crowns the first day you log in with 500 extra for every day in a row you log in and when you log in every day of the week you get a reward of 7,000 Crowns and the Crowns per day gets reset every week.
Also as Neekkoth said. There should be other things then just Crowns but I'm focusing on Crowns because it gives noobs the much needed Crowns every day but not too much. I realize that this could still be abused by alts but i'm not sure how to counter it. :/ Maybe nerf it more?

As to the monthly Prize Box.
I was a bit iffy on that one.
I did not do the math cause i was too tired. I knew you could get a lot and the idea was that only the hard core players getting on every single day of the year would get a lot. But now that i think about it. That's just giving the better/rich players even more money. So to change that would be to have the Monthly Prize Box live up to it's name and get one per month. That was the original idea but i felt like we needed more older costumes/accessorys in game so i changed it so that every one could have a a bit more of the older costumes.

Once again. Thank you for reading and any feedback you have on the new changes would be greatly appreciated!

hmmm

Silver key should be one of the rewards.

Just give a daily spark of life, reminiscent of the old mist regen.

cut out the crowns completely. sure, it might be nice for the noobs, but it would inflate CE even more.
also prizes should be bound so that alts are more or less pointless.

what I suggest is giving players varying rarities and possibly other supply depot items.
sparks are never bad. fire crystals suited to your rank would be good as well and as vanguards any source of more rads is great. you could also give the occasional 2* and 3* orbs. vanguards can craft for UVs with them and newer players get some needed orbs.
I still think they are a great idea, so lets have the rewards also have a chance for 2-day slot upgrades. short enough to not be worth much, long enough to give players a taste for what more slots can do.
promo items are a no. this would make using alts far too lucrative. just think of how many people would get dozens upon dozens of alts just for the chance of for example a black rose chapeau. even promo "junk" would still be worth too much. again, consider bound items. why not for example bound single UV tickets? or bound slime coins? maybe even the occasional bombhead, because LD is pretty much dead, at least in EU.

while on the topic of daily rewards and stopping CE inflation, maybe we could give players energy directly as a daily reward.
to not make this too overpowered, lets make this energy bound and reach a limit to how much of it you can hold at any time. 100 energy max seems like a good idea.
and to not make it too sudden, why not give it to the players slowly over the course of, say, 22 hours?
to distinguish it from the "normal" tradable energy, maybe we should give it a new name. maybe some sort of prefix to denote its volatile nature. something like... gaseous? no, that doesnt sound good. maybe you can come up with a better name for it.

Gah

Daily rewards could just be rarities. Sparks of Life, fire crystals, orbs of alchemy... All of those would be nice. Rarities could be bound as well.

Here's the order I'd work them with:

Spark of Life - all ranks, always single
Fire crystals - appropriate to your rank, (3,6,9,12,15) a day. Higher numbers for more consecutive logins
Orbs of Alchemy - your rank level + 1 and all types under it, always single
Golden Slime Coin - all ranks, comes in groups of 3, 4, or 5. Number not influenced by consecutive logins
UV ticket - all ranks, all 3 variants. Rarer than other items. Chance to get one starts at 1%, and increases by 1% for each consecutive day you log in. This number resets once a day is missed or a ticket is gained

If more rarities are added, then they could be added in the daily reward list.
