Should you wait to gach

Those whom have gached in the past know that chairs with time limit have been in the system for quite some time. The post on the nexon site does state that Gachapierrot list has been updating so that would lead some to believe it's a permanent one at that.
However the post does mention that from [b]June 19 to July 2, 2013[/b] that 6 chairs were selected to return[b]*[/b] to Gachapierrot.

Is it convenient to buy gachapon tickets for the time being and hold out till after July 2nd for a greater chance at better prizes? Do you think they will add new chairs for a limited-time once Xenon is released so it shouldn't matter when you gach?

Leave some past experiences on your gach runs and how this might be or might not be true!

*generalization based on the prior low outcome of the chairs and how they were enhanced to give a greater percentage outcome

I went on a 6k run on 2 accounts and got 2 unique pot scrolls. It all depends on what your luck is with the gach tickets

Not much luck on getting that chair

It's most likely I will do that if I can bare the wait, most of the time for instances such as gach I cannot sustain myself from it.

@kadspwn: I bought those 60% unique potential scrolls for quite a chunk of mesos because I didn't know where they came from.
Just for spending $18 dollars on gach, that is quite a successful run.
I did 35 run at full price on my main account and only got a blazing sun pendant. I am planning to do some runs tomorrow on discount with some mules.
I just wanted to get some opinions and experiences from people doing these recent runs because mine was a mediocre run.

It's alright tbh. I did it on a few accounts of mine that are just sitting collecting dust, i think i used 210? gach tickets don't remember. My results vary.

I spent $30 on NX, $18 on gach and whatever else.

60+ Mounts including atleast 20 perm mounts
Cyg,PB,Zak,VonLeon,HT Entrance tickets
7? level 150 Items (I need to SOK them)
10? Perm chairs and like 20-30 timed ones
3 70% chaos or w.e
1 50% chaos
1 60% unique pot scroll
LOADS of skill books
LOADS of crappy equips
A Crit 6% neb

Now time to let this stuff rot away and sell it in a few months. I literally have like 200+ items to sell now -.-

@FalconWing: Not too sure on that. No one has been able to give an exact date, just guesses to when it might end, not even employees on the nexon forums. I would say if you plan to buy anything at 90% off you should probably do it as soon as possible.

@FalconWing: I completely forgot about that. Your right, those weapons at the release of new jobs are extremely profitable from.

@manhattan: It's fine, I bought a 35 bundle of tickets at full price before I knew that you could get it at 90% off on accounts that did not purchase anything since June 1st. Pretty sure you might still have time to get a nice bundle deal.
