Available in carbonite (above) and gold (below) Also shown above, left-right Tinkerer's Ornate Chair, Tinkerer's Piezoelectric Sconce (above the bed), Tinkerer's Bed, Red Clockwork Lamppost (also available in green), Tinkerer's Mechanokinetic Sconce, Rusty Tinkerer's Lantern (also available in non-rusty), Tinkerer's Short Bench (under the lantern), Tinkerer's Bookcase. 
And here ... again left-right .. Small Tinkered Lamppost, Tinkerer's Round Table, Green Mechanical Lamppost (also available in red), Tinkerer's Worktable, inkerer's Mining Lantern (on the table) and Large Tinkered Lamppost. Start getting ready to stockpile dividers ...

Yep yep, for real .... No word as to when it may go live yet but from what the Sainted Domino says, it's to be a once-yearly event, along the lines of Frostfell so all this lovely stuff will be time-limited. On Test, reward items are obtained by harvesting shinies which are the tokens to buy items. All items are 2 shiny cogs each (don't know if any of that will change. As well as what's here, there's other tables, chairs, chests, lights, mugs and loadsd and loads of cogs (static and moving). I didn't count how many items in total (just stopped getting things when my pack was full) but there must be at least 35-40 items listed. (I can't insert a link atm for some reason or copy/paste one (weird) but the info is on Page 8 of the 'Live Event testing on Test' thread on the 'In Testing' forum)

What a totally wonderful holiday! Most of our Norrathian holidays are associated with real world holidays. I wonder if Tinkerfest will be, too, or if it's a holiday belonging to Norrath alone. Wow, 35 or 40 items? Amazing. Scuze me...need to go get a bib...drooling....

A lot of stuff is really rather adorable! I can see a lot of this new furniture (Both Bought if you aren't a tinker and created by tinkers by purchased recipes if you are!) in houses all over norrath! I haven't finished all the quests yet, but the whole idea surrounding it is just so much fun. I'm glad tinkers aren't left behind!

Really? You can buy recipes to make these items if you tinker? What level do you have to be to get the recipes?

One recipe book was skill 400 I'm pretty sure, I didn't bother to look at the other one as my tinkerer is VERY low (like maybe 20 skill rofl).

I don't have words for how excited I am. This couldn't possibly come at a better time, especially considering my current super-secret decorating project! /happydance

Rather than start a whole new post, I'll just add my Tinkerfest Preview here. Enjoy!
