If you look at the shop right now, the Ifrit set won't be the last thing to expire, but it is right up at the top as if it would be.
I don't think you understand this correctly.
The first Treasure Trove set to expire is
always the one on the bottom, not on the top. Right now it's the Joseon Set and the The King set.
But maybe I should explain better why I am not so fond of this, because you probably think "Why is she making such a big deal out of this? Just add the date like in the Candy Caracan, no harm done!".
With the Candy Cravan, where it's not by date, but by month every 3 months, the leaving dates of items are always the same. The last time the items are in the Candy Caravan is always February, May, August and November. So I already know the dates whenever I work on a new item.
With the Treasure Trove the leaving date is exact to the day and it always depends on what day the Treasure Trove sets are put in the Treasure Trove. (and this would already be a problem, because the Candy Caravan dates don't show you the leaving dates, but the last month during which the item will be available. So this would be very confusing with two different dating systems) But I never know when this will be when I work on the items including the shop preview images that would contain the date. I work on an update, I finish all files, I ZIP them and send them off to starkad and I move on and work on the next update. And I never know when starkad will find the time to take care of the update. Sometimes he gets stuff I sent him done in days, sometimes it takes weeks. (sometimes even months

). So when I work on these images there is no way for me to know what date they will leave the Treasure Trove as I don't even know what date they will be put into the shop, so I could not finish the files and send them off.
The only solution around this would be for starkad to code some kind of feature that would let you put on a date (not on the images, but maybe somewhere in the description) on the day the items are put into the shop, but this would mean coding work for him, which is what I am always trying to avoid because he is not able to keep up with all the work I have for him as it is. So I try not to give him even more work, when I don't think it is something very important, or I put it off to "maybe one day when he will have some free time" (which will most likely never happen).
So it's not an issue of me simply not wanting to add any dates, but that it can't be done as easily as with the Candy Caravan.
And since the leaving dates of Treasure Trove sets are announced with the original announcement, since it is always the last items in the Treasure Trove to leave and since I always make an announcement 2 days before sets leave, so that I think it is pretty hard to miss the leaving of such sets unless you ignore announcements, I don't see this as an urgently needed feature to make starkad work on in his already way to scarse time.
