And with a little thought it should actually tell you quite a bit about both what it does now and will do in the future (that's another tip off BTW).One of the dwarves in the Treasure Hunt suggests to take something lucky into the fields, saying that "one should always carry a lucky item in their pocket, like a horse shoe."

Three pretty clear examples. Also, as we've said many times, It changes. As developers add new things to it it does more. So to say it does "X" would be untrue. It does impact a portion of the epic story (which is where you get it remember), and the winter festival, and some other things and probably more that I am not aware of.
Well, instead of trying to be funny (during the times in past when asked about it), you could have said things like this two(?) years ago. Numerous amounts of people didn't pick that thing up simply because it looked like borderline april's fool day item, and there were no informations about it at all.
I won't cry about it, because you can still get things done in festivals, but your reply sort of annoyed me a little bit from general principle. You Turbine guys should really think about being a bit more serious when asked about stuff (that doesn't mean you should throw away any sense of humour, however!). This is more or less what I mean.
