Lab map advice

Wed Jun 02, 2004 1:06 pm

I need some advice on how to buy/ how much to pay for certian Lab Map pieces. I need

the first one on the left and second down
last on the right and second down
last on the right and third down

How much do each of those three cost and where's the best place to get 'em?

Thanks :)

do you need this one?

because i got one in a trade if you want it,

i bought mine all in the shops, its hard, but since all nine pieces search for the same name, you need to shop around, but actually you can find some really good pieces. for reasonably cheap. i would say that each of the pieces would be around 50k with some around 47k, actually alot of them are, but one piece did sell for 60k

i find the trading post is a rip off. but the auctions are good, only if you know how much the piece sells for, thats why its best to poke around the shops first and get a feel for things :)

I accidently fell across that piece for 47,600NP. Although, as I'm currently looking for the middle left piece, I can't find the one you're looking for for under 49K.

sometimes you get a very good newbie deal, like a piece for 10k. and even if it's not the piece you need, you can sell it to buy the one you do. I only need one more piece of lab map, and that's the top left.

Out of curiousity, is it generally better to buy the pieces one-by-one from shops, or to just buy the entire set off the trading post?

For me, it was slightly cheaper to buy it from shops.

I buy them from shops a bit at a time. Like the others said you can get some good deals. I know when i find a bit that i dont want i sell it cheaper than the average, mostly cause im to lazy to find a matching bit and get the price ;)

Yay!!! I just finished the map! **does the lab map dance**, First time I used it, though, and it brought my grundo down a level. Jeez. Well, at least I got to post and gloat AND a cry, lol

Yay! I got mine about 7 days ago!

And it's been nice to me..so far!

I bought all of my pieces from the same shop.

I think that when I got mine, I shopped around for it. I'd suggest staying away from the ones that have 20+ of each piece, you can normally find them for cheaper than that. And like a couple of others have said, you can sometimes find a piece or two cheap.

Heh, congrats guys! :D I'm slightly tempted to get lab access on this account, maybe in the future.

The first time I used the lab in my old account, my pet's gender was the first to change. :?

I did get one or two peices for around 30k through auctions, but it was *very* difficult I had to fail many auctions - they're full of the same people who sell tons of the pieces for a profit. I finally got impatient and bought the rest from user shops for 47-55k depending on the piece. Didn't have any luck finding "newbie deals" like I usually do with codestones :)

I've only had the map for a few weeks, myself. My lab pet is currently a yellow usul, with most stats improving nicely.

i think the best thing to do is to buy them as a set

I didn't have any luck with buying a set on the trading post. The people either didn't respond, or refused the offer that they requested.

So I shopped with the wizard, It took a while, but I kept trying.

Now I adopt pets and zap them until they are pretty and I think someone would adopt them. I check on them to make sure, and sometimes they are adopted within a few minutes.

Just go here and enter "secret lab". It will show you the current prices for each of the nine lab pieces.
