Sell the Autopsy Scar then? It's still 75K, and the Giftbox will probably cost less than that on the 16th, when everyone is selling them.

Besides, you've done better than me either way. I made a box way back at the start of this limited formula, and tried to list it for 440K, but I missed a digit. It didn't stay in the MP long enough for me to cancel. >_<

Which is why one should wait one to two weeks after that, when the price will have increased again. I'm confident I can get 400k for my gift box if I play the marketplace right, since right now it is around 250k, it will briefly increase, then drop sharply, then increase again, at which point it is best to sell. smile

I'm just worried that they'll do something that makes the giftboxes worth less within that time. Making them more common, or having other ways to get the items inside, for example.

That's certainly a possibility, and in a way I really wish they would Alchemy items should be rare, but not as rare as they are. I just hope they wait a couple weeks before making that choice. XD

Tissue? We just may as a well be crafting s**t poo, because you probably need quite a few of them to make whatever you are making probably and it isn't even worth than much. (edit: I just looked in the marketplace, and used tissue is at the least 370k)
...
I can't believe it.

I really can't believe the site has become this money hungry. :l It's like you can hardly have anything of value or any real fun in this digital place without spending real money- unless you save every piece of gold you ever made, play games like crazy and become a entrepreneur.

you right and your wrong the only way i even able to make 2mil on gaia is by being a smart merchant i played black jack to get cash, then i bought a gen item on gaia and sold it to buy a bundle when i repeated this for about 2 or 3 months .......... at any rate i was doing good till i kinda just bought every thing and donated most of it to ...so yeah its not that hard just really complicating

I just made a giftbox too and now I'm too nervous to open it and end up with something crappy so I think I'm going to sell it for 200K and if nobody buys it then I'll just keep it and open it or wait for the price to go back up (hopefully).

I'm done with Alchemy after this, too. I thought I'd give it another try, but it's such a pain in the a** to pay all this money for stuff that's not even that great and the chances of getting an item might be s**t anyway.

I just wasted 100 charge orbs and thousands in gold to try to make one lousy orb aggregate and it FAILED. Do I even get a consolation prize? If I did, I didn't see it. Alchemy blows; you should at least get the damn item you try to make; they need to take the "chance of SUCK-cess" out of it. scream

If a formula fails then it just returns the items (and gold?) to you and you can just try again. It is kind of annoying though...

It does? Oh thank you, that's nice to know, but it still wasted the cost of the formula, right? At least that's not as bad as losing everything, but I still think Alchemy needs a LOT of tweaking.

ME TOO! Medium chance = double your costs right now! Not $5K, but $10K. Then I used it to make some worthless snake shoulder pads....I just hope those become part of some recipe in the future 'cause they aren't selling! (And why are all the starter recipes for things you would NEVER buy or wear!!!)
