 Post subject: Jewel boxes: can you get multiple suits/flags/ident. cards?

So here's the deal. I started a new character, because I've always wanted to have a nuker. I start playing, only adding SP to Lightning and Spear so I can keep a 0-2 lvl gap and level fast until I get my nukes. This also allows me to kill fast = many jewel boxes (well, relatively many).

The first two days I played with this character - only three or four hours - I got 12-15 boxes, and I got the black devil suit, the special identity card and the red flag. Since then I've exchanged 60+ boxes without getting anything like that again (my favorite exhange was last night when I exchanged five boxes and got 5 x 3000 gold...).

So I was wondering - is it possible to get more than one of each of the special items, or does the game block you from getting those once you have them? If it's not, I'm gonna NPC at least one of them (since I don't plan on doing much trading, and since they are impossible to sell during the event) and hope I get a new one from another box.

Has anyone got multiple suits/card/flags when exchanging boxes?

why hold them? No one is ever going to buy them for more than npc price. Sell them to the npc for 440,000 gold and be done with it.

Hey man I also got something bizarre.

Since the start of the event I turned in exactly 284 boxes, in batches of 5-10 piece usually.

In the 2nd batch I got 1 flagg. The many batches after that I only got crap items, and now last week I turned in 6 boxes and got 3 flaggs at once, since I'm poor that made me realyl happy :D

I would argue that point. But...it appears you believe that the event will last forever so....the natual state of economics wouldn't apply.

Of course....if say the event did not last forever.....then after the event ended say 2 weeks the prices would readjust. 3-4 wks the prices would have normalized. But then maybe when you used the words "No one is ever going to" you meant "No one will during the event." :)

If you have room in storage and you don't need the cash now I'd save it and sell it later. But thats just me. YMMV

Last night some noob was selling job suits for 400K apiece. I bought all four and sold them to a NPC for 440k each.

I'll hold on to them because I only have one of each and I want to use them in the future.

Hang on to them if you want. You are using them as an investment. I would rather cash out today and invest in something that will increase in value (like an SOS weapon) rather than something that has a fixed value (like a job suit). Especially with the rising inflation on the servers (prices going up on most things).

Also I need the inventory space for 'good' items. If the items (including elixirs) stacked it might be different, but I seriously dont think that you will be able to sell them for more than 500k any time in the next 3 months.

good luck.

What part of "If it's not, I'm gonna NPC at least one of them" is it that you do not understand? I'm not talking about selling them to other players, I'm talking about SELLING THEM IN THE SHOPS.

Even if I sold all three today I'd only get 1.32 million, which is not nearly enough for a lvl 32+ SoS spear. I'd rather hang on to the suits as long as I only have one each.

Finally! :D Four days, 100+ boxes and I've got the hunter card, the thief suit, the trader flag AND the gold dragon flag, all female, and as a nice bonus (and at leats 440k in the bank) a male hunter card too. :)

Time to kill ~800 chakji now, and hope for more boxes with more good stuff...

i npced all of my job items except the 3 for me. and i am now stalling the extra 2 gold flags for 1.5 mil a piece. or something like that. i hope they sell.

this event made everyone too rich... now i hope the economy isnt gonna be messed up for a long time after it is over... :cry:
