Mon Dec 11, 2006 7:42 pm

What exactly do they do? And which ones are the best to have? (Sorry I haven't played Neo much in the last 3-4 months)

Is a very good guide to Lutari Beads,
how to get them,
and what they do.

Oooh nice. I allways wanted to know what these things do but I can't do the mobile thing anyway where I am. Still, it's nice to know eh! =D

Oh I think I understand now. I don't think it would be worth for me to buy them because I can't put together a full set? or will just having 1 bring you luck?

Does anyone know if you recieve an additional charge per Kb on cingular while playing the game?

yup...that's why I stopped playing. After paying for unlimited internet and lutari island, it ended up being around $33 a month. It just wasn't worth it to me.

I have one (got it in a RE) and it's never done anything for me.

Ditto. But I think for anything NOTICEABLE to happen, you've got to have a good amount of em.

I know a few people with full sets and they very rarely get any sort of perk from it. Even then it's mostly gaming.

From paranoiapenguin said, each bead is worth 500k, 20 beads (full set) will be worth 10mil.
Let's say each game you play, the set increases the nps you earn by 200nps.
So if you only play games, you'll have to play at least 16,667 different kinds of games to earn back the 10mil (not in the total you earn, but in the 200nps). And of course it'll be actually much more, because some games you play may not have the nps increased, and some games you play the nps will be increased, but less than 200nps.

Hope you understand what I mean...
Not worth it eh. I wouldn't spend 10mil on those.

I thought just one bead was enough to have a noticeable effect? I'm sure I read that somewhere, but of course whoever wrote it could have been wrong.

But I still don't think it'd be worth it, I'm never buying one, and if I ever get insanely lucky and get one in a RE, I'd sell it for sure.

Ouch, I didn't think about the internet charges (stupid really, I should have) now I'm not so eager for it to be available for Verizon. That's definitely not worth it.

They aren't worth 500k. They are worth less ... people buy around 175k. (green can sometimes go higher). Usually you can snag them for less, though.

They sometimes give discounts in shops and sometimes increase the payout from games. The amount of increase from a games depends on the number of beads you have.

You can't get the tongi beads, unless you sign someone up for the phone service.

The green ones claim to increase "luck" ... but no one really understands what that means. I still get the stupid 5000 NP Kadoatie mewwing at me at times. :)

Are they worth it? Who knows. Just something fun to collect.
