I think it's no secret that the new Rapid IE, Apprentice Charm, is going to be a great item for winter due to its wonderful color scheme and cute poses. However, with all Rapid EIs, it's not a very reliable item to hoard. So instead of hoarding them, I started to think about what items would be best to hoard that look good with Apprentice Charm, and other winter themed avatars, instead.

So let's break it down into colors; icy/white, light blue, and gray; now let's try to identify some of the more overlooked items (ex. if you can hoard Kiki Kitty Plushie great; but this guide focuses on items that are 100k or less, however, as it has been pointed out, these are all highly risky investments and just items I think will look good with Apprentice Charm & other winter themed avatars.)


Icy/White Items:


User ImageSno Yeti Pillow Plush(chillin') - 6 different poses & they're selling for a little under 60k a piece at the moment

User ImageBani the Bunny - though already flagged as a great item to invest in; Apprentice's Charm just gives it all the more credibility to be a big item this upcoming season!

User ImageSnow Feather - about 90k with 7 white themed poses and one golden pose; if you can't get winter bride's bolero pose to go with the sleeves from Apprentice Charm, I'd say this is a great alternative!


Light Blue Items:


User ImageMana Seed - a bit over 100k but has a pair of stellar sparkling blue eyes with their own blush included; in my opinion, a refreshing alternative to the overused Empty Eyes "Oculus Mythica" offers.

User ImageCecil - a total of 6 different great poses and only about 30k. something I think has been highly underrated for quite some time.


Gray Items:


User ImageTed and Dusky - a personal favorite of mine for quite some time. when I first started making dream avatars for myself and had a definite price limit I knew to turn to this as it has versatile poses including an original looking hat, leggings, sweater, and something cute to cuddle (teddy-bear squee)

User ImagePuss in Kamik - Has 4 different poses, one of which is just a companion, while the other 3 are accessories for your actual avi and it's just under 90k

***User ImageRuRu Kitty Plushie - though obviously over 100k, an honorable mention as it's a great alternative to the KiKi Kitty Plushie as well as the CoCo Kitty Plushie, however, in my opinion, with even better poses.


Alright people; here is the end of my "100k under & matches Apprentice Charm" little guide. I hope that everyone enjoys it and makes some sort of profit from it during the upcoming Holiday season! This was my first guide so feel free to leave comments and discuss items that you think I left out and should have put it as well as which items you think I should completely remove from this guide. Namaste and happy investing!

Apprentice Charm might still have hope though. I guess if you own it you get too see the evolutions before they announce it and I noticed mine had some new poses...this hair I have on and a shorter version of it. It's really pretty. heart

I'm gonna agree with you about fluff plushies (I realized that when I looked up how much they were actually worth).

However, I'm still hopeful as far as the snow yetis go. If anyone had actually taken a look at them before they'd see that it actually has some really nice plushie poses as well as a pose turning the little yeti into a hat very much like bani.

D'oh, I forgot to put bani on the list; I'll try and edit it when I have a spare moment. Thanks for the comment!

Oh by no means do I doubt that Apprentice Charm will be a great item especially for the winter season with its wonderful color scheme; I've just noticed that with previous Rapid IEs they tend to plateau once its reaches its final evolution.

*I'm curious to see what the shorter version of your hair looks like but I guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow >.< lol

That's weird that they haven't announced it; probably saving it for tomorrow. Heh, or maybe it just got leaked tonight and no one would have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it.

& I know! When I first saw someone wearing the scarf Cecil includes, I couldn't help but think that it was a pretty darn good alternative to the much more expensive Angelic Scarf; the only difference is that the Cecil scarf doesn't look as plush.

    Just to clarify: we didn't suggest Apprentice Charm as a winter hoard; we suggested it as a short-term REI investment.

    During the first few hours after the final evolution, A LOT of G1 REIs are bought (if the final evolution is good). Because the pricce of G2 is still high and not many are in the market, this sudden supply decrease causes a price spike. Taking advantage of this price spike has earned people a huge profit from the other REIs and there's no reason to believe that this will be any different.

    Still, this list is nice. Only thing is, these investments are also high risk. There's no guarantee that some of these will rise during winter, just because of the fact that they're overlooked. If you're gonna invest some of these, be very wary.

    I like the Bani, Sno Yeti, Snow Feather, Cecil and Puss in Kamik the most. Also, I wouldn't touch the Mana Seed with a 10-foot pole. It's still stuck in the Cash Shop.

Mana Seed is out of the cash shop, unless you meant something else.

I think the Heavenly Drapes might be nice with it.

Unexplained Mystery
I think the Heavenly Drapes might be nice with it.


I've been eying that item ever since it came out as it does provide a nice alternative to the very pricey Angelic Sash. I'll try and get some more feedback and if people like it enough, I'll gladly add it to the list, which fyi, I'm editing all the time based off of the comments made my everyone here.
