I'm a bit iffy about hoarding these new 'Poseidon's Legacy' RIGs. Aquatic items haven't always been super-popular with Gaians with a few exceptions. Btw, great guide, I'm an experienced vendor and I still learned off of this.

    @Cryptex: Fair enough, I can't really disagree with you there. There's always the risk that a RIG will flop but I don't think that the items in the RIG alone are enough to make that happen.

    @Tsuyoi:I think it's been pretty popular. A few items are still in the 500k+ range and rising.

    But don't hoard them. ninja It's better for me if there's no competition. 4laugh

The issue with the Poseidon's Legacy is that it is extremely difficult to get a victory. There is a very low drop rate for the items contained within. That is probably one of the biggest reasons why the items themselves are so high priced.

HOWEVER, because of this not many people are hoarding them, this COULD be beneficial because it means that there are not as many as there could be in the system. Which in the long run means more room for inflation.

On a personal note I am skipping these because I think later on that it will be harder to sell them because of the low drop rates. I also don't feel that aquatic items are very successful at returning large profits. But the choice is ultimately up to you.

I opened one (Just for fun) And ended up getting a North Kitten Star from it..
So then I opened another and got another one. ;3

That was the luckiest thing that ever happened.
One kitten went to my avi and the other went to charity. : D

Wow, you guys are lucky. I don't even bother opening them anymore because I have such horrible luck.

It's good to open one or two for fun but I wouldn't recommend using all your gold to open a bunch of them.

This information helped a lot, I usually ALWAYS buy RIGs and open them hoping for good items. I've made about 2 million profit, from buying them for about 50k and getting 100k-2 million worth items.

Great guide-helped me out a lot.
I don't think poseidon's legacy victories are hard to get. I hoard them and I press continue, then finally I get a victory ticket that I can sell for 290k.

@Chipychip: I think it's too risky to do something like that the chances of loosing gold are just too high but if you feel it is working for you and that you are earning enough gold that way then by all means open as many as you want.

Yea opening RIGs is way to risky. When you are ready to deal with RIGs again just read the "Things to Remember" section. Hopefully after reading it you won't be as inclined to open them.

I'm sorry you lost so much though.
