Advice with Dumpster Dive? (Caches)

[Hunaja-Mesi]

so, i'm opening Philosopher's Caches
in huge amounts, but i'm only looking for the charms in them.
i'm left over with tons of the caches that i don't need at all.
i've been dumping them in the trash,
but i got a pm today that asked me to "stop". @v@
some have pm'd me being grateful, though,
so i think others like to have them.

is there a specific cache i should drop there
(like platinum & gold? any more??)
that would make alchemists super happy,
and should i let the others go? (as in, delete)

which caches would the alchemists wish i'll keep dumping there,
and which ones are those that nobody needs?

advice, please~ heart

What is needed depends on what you're crafting, tbh. Gold and platinum caches are rarer and therefore more in demand but they all have uses.

Personally I am pretty much happy to get any unwanted caches that other people would just be throwing out.

[post-beast]

Don't delete them! Give them away here at the alchemy forums instead.

I do like getting caches from the dumpster, but I know other people don't because they aren't into alchemy and think that because of the caches they can't get other nicer items. They shouldn't be complaining though, free stuff is free stuff, you just can't dive into the dumpster and not expect "trash".

In short, keep dumping them in the dumpster if you want to, there's nothing wrong with that. The best way to get rid of them would be giving them away in the alchemy exchange though.

Here's some advice: the two most common Caches are Aquamarine and Emerald, so those are the two people probably want the least, but you can convert them into Gold fairly easily. Open the Aquamarine Cache and take out the item called "Fail". Open the Emerald Cache and take out the item called "Shark's Blood". Those items can be sold from inventory for more than you'd get trying to sell the Caches in MP.

okay, thanks for the help~ heart
i figure the amount of caches in the dumpster has increased since the charms came along, so i can sort of understand if "regular divers" are irritated.. cat_sweatdrop
but i don't want to delete them either, if they're needed by others. cat_3nodding

I,all take any unwanted caches off your hands if you want.

Don't let the greedy assholes stop you from donating what you want.
It's a DUMPSTER, that's what makes finding other things special. Besides I'd rather get cache stuff than papers from the admin.

I would think because they can be sold back that they would be wanted more in the dumpster.

The one I seem to like least is sapphire. It's super cheap on the marketplace if I do need any.

I always was a regular diver, liked it even when I got just trash but when people started donating Caches and I got plenty of them I decided to finally dedicate myself to Alchemy emotion_dowant
Now I'm sad even when I get a nice item instead of a Cache xD but yeah, some people are really irritated that they aren't pulling out expensive items anymore...

I don't even think that's only due to people dumping caches in.
Isn't there a cap on things you can donate based on what they sell for on the marketplace?
My theory is that the inflation on things is keeping people from donating items instead of caches.

But isn't the cap 1bil??
I think people are still donating items it's just that with DD flooded with Caches it seems that the only thing you get are Caches. I don't know if my reasoning is correct but the amount of items donated in DD affects your chances of pulling out expensive item, if the amount of rare items doesn't change but overall number of items in the Dumpster changes drastically then your chances are lower.

I thought it was too, but I'm not sure. More and more items are inflating beyond that tho. sad
Yeah, I thought so too. I just thought we'd see more change now that there's the first item RIG (it's actually two now) in a while and an influx of new items usually means higher chances of people donating something that isn't caches.
On the other hand, maybe GoFusion has made more people dump caches. =D

[Mr McMichael]

you should give them here in alchemy forum, everyone who goes here will appreciate that than in the dumpster..

Yeah...though I'm getting used to the market myself.
I think that GoFusion is the best explanation, though now that the DC has been updated there might be a chance for some pepole to fuse items without Caches. I like getting colour Caches, no need to open twice xD

Pretty much this ^
But I'm the same as the op, I've been thinking of dumping items I can't use from magical giftboxes, like the flower wrist and ankle items, but I'm too afraid of the backlash in PMs I might get... So I've been letting them sit there.
But more possitively, I've also been thinking of opening a ton of caches and dumping some heart charms, just to make some people's day.
