Gaga Twinkling Treasure Star Quest

You can gift the stars from the star generator box to your own character if you're in Ardentmill but not in normal towns like magatia, I don't know if this is common knowledge or what but I just noticed it today.

There was a glitch and people abused it. Something with letter cases.

When I try getting the box, Gaga says my Use tab is full. Maybe Nexon did this on purpose to control the economy.

So we can't get the generators at all now? I was sort of hoping it would be easy money...

[quote=tokoberas]i have the same problem as many of you are experiencing. we cant get the generator even after the 24hour time limit. is it because they patched it so that we have to turn in 100 dusts to get 2 stars first before we are able to get the generator? could some1 please explain? thanks a bunch.[/quote]

Actually I've gotten 100 dusts each day for the past week after first using my Star Generator. and i still get the same "wait 24hr." message. Just another one of Nexon's lazy bugs that will more then likely not get fixed. Much like the other event where you fight the other jobs. -_-

wat I can't even get the box anymore. It keeps saying I already gave stars out when I haven't even done it that day.
And I always could gift myself in a normal town. I just typed my ign in caps (or lower case if your ign is originally in caps) and then it works

P.S. This is just my opinion...competitive market is good for the "greater community" coz more people will get better stat (or potential for that matter) items and that will somewhat drive prices lower, thus making more people to be able to buy, more people buying means money is being circulated, money is circulated means economy gets better overall, economy is better means people with a better buying power, better buying power means people are able to sell/buy more stuffs.

[quote=uLtimatefx]Doing this could get you banned though... I don't think they did this on purpose, so people farm necro and reverse equips[/quote]

If they did that, they'll have to ban like half their players. Not that they can afford to do that.

Getting banned from this is unjust since it is Nexons fault.[/quote]

still, its like saying if there is an exploit of any kind, you have the right to abuse it because nexon didnt fix it in time

You can ask everyone to gift you stars though, since getting generators is free.

Eh, yeah it is Nexon's fault for not looking over this glitch. However, it is also the player's fault for continuously ABUSING the glitch just to make some profit.

OT: I've done it twice and I'm already feeling bad about it ;-; Gonna just keep it simple and trade with a friend of mine.

@wahaha791:

12 times per day? I should do this on my cannoneer, with extra slots <3
And I should probably pick up the pots more. Only made 5m in 6 runs

[quote=wahaha791]The game checks if the ign you typed in matches yours or not (capitalization included).
Easiest way to gift to yourself is to type your ign all in lower case. If your ign is already all in lower case, capitalize the first letter or something.[/quote]

now I feel dumb for not having realized this part =(

You can get some other good stuff like AEEs and Adv pot scrolls which would give you a bit of mesos. If you loot the reindeer milk and dews and npc them you make a few mil too. It's like lmpq all over again

I didn't realize that you could just do that :O, I just based what I was going off the patch notes
"Star Creation Box

Requirement: Lv 20 and 2 Shining Stars from Gaga created that day.
Talk to Gaga and select "I want the Star Generator".
Star Creation Box: Send 6 Shining Stars to other players that are in the same map! Only available till midnight each day. "
my bad I guess =P

[quote=DarkQuill]@uLtimatefx: You can just ask Gaga for the box without turning in anything, which could also be an exploit. I did skim through the initial dialogue quickly and couldn't find any references to it though.
As for trading, that SHOUUULD be fine, but I did all 6 on myself to rest if there was a limit of one-per-character or something. There is not.[/quote]

What if you get 100 Stardusts, sell them to a random NPC since gaga wont take them, and get a generator? that way you wouldn't be "explotiing" (unless you get many of them), and you would have to gift someone other than yourself to follow the rules as they were made...

Getting a star is a bit hard though, right? You need 2 stars to use the generator and send 6..
