Daily/Weekly Quests [Split 2]

[Siniri]

Well, that officially puts mine in the bottom half of prizes. Rerolling...

Spent 10k and ... Yellow Oranu Bead

Well, that was definitely worth it. Don't remember what yellow ones do. I think I had a few on my old account.

[Blue]

Hmm.. This week is: Supreme Deluxe Faerie Queen Hair

Worth it? Probably not. Currently around 300k... but I do not have one of these

[Pickles]

I would reroll if I were you, Blue. Especially with how high the odds are for getting a bead.
I rerolled twice (started with a really bad one, then got one only a little more expensive) and now have a yellow bead as my prize.

It will be interesting to see if they keep the beads in next rotation or not. I'm hoping they'll like, bring it down to only one color or one type or something, but, I guess we'll see...

[Blue]

Ok. Here goes... and... 10k later... Spotted Gelert Morphing Potion (300k)
again...20k later... Ummagine Plushie :/ (460k)
hmm.. why not? again... 40k later... Green Poogle (TCG) Oops. (140k)
and again... 80k later... Strength Serum. Ugh. (200k)
alrighty... 160k later... Red Urapa Bead (6mil) Yellow would have been better, but I'll take it!

So... lets see. 10+20+40+80+160 = 310k to get a Red Urapa Bead? On top of the 280k for the wig yeah. I bought one in the shop. Certainly a spendy day. But it was fun

[Siniri]

Got the oranu bead. From what I can tell from JN's guide, the yellow ones may not have ever been activated (and the descriptions don't seem to match for the red and blue, because the blue is diplomacy while red is strength, and red decreases shop prices -- blue also doesn't seem to be activated yet). It would be nice if yellow shortened training times (it's supposed to be speed).

I threw it in my SDB for safe keeping while I decide whether to use or sell.

Edit: and my next prize is Green Urapa Bead. That's 4 in 8 rolls between the three of us, unless I'm remembering your rolls incorrectly. They're not 50% of the prize pool, so either we got a bit lucky, or they're overweighted.

[Pickles]

Hello Neopians! Quick reminder that the items currently available via the Quest Log will be rotating out on Thursday (5/1), making way for some exciting new additions!

Just a heads up...that was in the news today. No clue if the Lutari beads will stick around or not.

[Siniri]

Got the oranu bead yesterday. Today's prize is Floppy Turtum Plushie. Definitely going to reroll, but I'll give it a few days to let prizes and prices stabilize a bit.

[Pickles]

Looks like the beads stayed in. I rerolled once to one. The rest of the weekly pool...I could kinda care less about. Nothing new for my album or my gallery. Or my Battledome set. Very disappointing. So...guess I'm just going to go for beads this time, unless I hit something that has good resale value. I guess this is good for my bank account for the next two months?

[Blue]

I got a Well-Aged Hot Dog this week.. Not super excited about it. ~385k on the SW.

Thinking I should re-roll until I get a bead. But... how difficult is it to sell a bead? The only avenue to get pure NP is via auction?

Rerolled for 10k. Strange Potion. JN says... 15MM. Zero on the TP. Perhaps I'll stick with this one

Checked the auction house, too. There is one in the auction house that is not selling for 6MM. Hmm.

Strange Potion is a R99 that can change the gender of your pet. It will lose value, but I'm not sure how much as it's a consumable potion, with some level of demand (some people either don't have the lab ray or don't want to fight the scientist to change gender of their pet).

I don't know how difficult it is to sell the beads, but I've been seeing them go on the auctions for varying amounts. The overall price on them is still trending down, and will probably continue to go down. I'm hoping they do, at least, because I wouldn't mind collecting them all just because, and the less I have to pay for them, the better.

[Blue]

Yeah. I wondered how useful the Strange Potion would be. It might change the gender, which indicates that it might not change it. I miss the Cape of the Sun trick, but the Scientist is a "free" and very viable option, so not sure how the potion has such a high value. I might hang on to it anyway. Even if it sells for 4 million, that's 4 million more than I would had the day prior. Or, it can sit in my SDB forever. Meh.

[Siniri]

Ugh. Someone seems to have messed with the estimated prices for most of the items (maybe by pricing them at something ridiculous).

My first item is no longer even on the list. It was worth about 300k and dropping when I first shared it.

10k --> rainbow Kau plushie worth... 20M?

I doubt it. 10M was removed in December after holding for 6 months. The last one that actually sold was 1.3M. People are asking 12M for that and a Valentine's PB, and 5M is not selling in auctions. I don't want a HTS plushie.

20k -> 3rd worst prize
40k -> Thoughtful Linae Stamp (5M, but probably dropping). Even if it's only 1M, I only spent 70k. Unless I really threw away something worth 20M, this was a great deal! This should at least be easier to sell.

Picked up the Strange Potion today. JN still shows 15MM value and many on the TP and Auction house reflect this. However, there are two on the TP for only 2MM + 2 Baby Paintbrushes. I expect these to plummet in value...

ETA: Only 1 on the TP for 2MM now.

ETA: New item this week: Altador Travel Stamp ~5MM. For now.
Prices on the Strange Potion appear to be somewhat binary - either 2MM-ish or 15MM-ish. Strange.

...JN has now dropped it from 15MM to 3MM. No huge surprise, really. Not entirely sure why someone would want this at all, other than a collector.

[Siniri]

Got my stamp today. What will tomorrow bring?

Edit: apparently it's my turn for a strange potion. I guess I'll wait until later in the week to see where prices stabilize before deciding to reroll (or not).

[Blue]

Picked up the Altador Travel Stamp today. It is currently on the TP ranging from 1.9 + 1BBPB to 30mm ea. Typical is around 3mm. JN says 2.6mm.

Auctions are typically 2.8. I might skew the world and put it in my shop for 1mm lol. Nah, TP at 2 pure.

But first... does anyone need this stamp? Great deals for friends
