Space Monster Mask


I was just wondering... What will we call these items? Especially when more of these type of items come out. confused

We will need some sort of way to announce it and maybe if GEN called it something the rest would follow... ...and we could post a thread about it in the exchange. 3nodding

Possible Names:
Unlikely (The Chort)
Unusual xd (Kwazistar)

I think that they are fine as "Blue Giftbox Rares" and a subcategory of "Rare Items." ^^; The Blue Giftbox is so random that it is unlikely that one would receive an item unique to it, but the blue boxes are, at the same time, more common than pink giftboxes. Besides, no one knows the ratio of Space Monster Masks to other items that come out of the blue box, so we cannot place a rarity level on items unique to it, if that makes any sense.

At least, that is only my opinion. Other updaters may see it differently.

However, a new category, probably "Game Items," will probably be added when Gaia Fishing is released. Either that, or the "Prize Items" category will change into the "Game/Contest Items" category. ^.^ I think that the second one would probably be better, as "Prize Items" only includes three items so far.

I see what you mean... A space monster mask could be REALLY hard to find because a blue giftbox can be one of somewhere around 60 items. @.@ ...and the fishing sounds awesome! I can't wait! surprised

PS: What if someday there are a bunch of blue giftbox only items? Do you stick to your opinion? confused

I think that I would. Look at how many donation items and event items there are. ^^; The Rares category has plenty of room.

I have found 8 trunks since I returned, but not a single Blue Giftbox crying

*ahem*

I'm guessing we'll probably start to see more and more Blue Box Only items. I think the name "Blue Giftbox Rares" works even when there are more items, because these rares are exclusive to the Blue Giftbox - the name says it all 3nodding

For now I think the listing is good where it's at, but if we continue to get new Blue Box exclusive items I think we may need to give it it's own section.

The problem with the Blue Giftbox is a lot of new users(and I have seen proof of this in the Q&F) don't realize that you can get things other than the Blue Box Exclusive items. When the new Masks came out and were selling for a LOT, numerous threads from newer Gaians popped up asking, "Why did I get a Flower Crown instead of a Space Monster Mask?!?!?"

Oops, I meant to say "more common than pink giftboxes." ^^; Let me go and fix that...

I thought that that sounded odd. Because I don't find that many blue boxes. @.@

My guesses all begins with Un-- for some reason...

If only there were more blue box items, i'd probably could think of another one sweatdrop Just one item isn't enough...

My guess is they like to release one summer movie related item each year(last year was Android Parts unofficially celebrating the release of Terminator 3 domokun ) and for whatever reason they chose to release them via events.
