[quote=Sup323]Learn prices, they dropped to 4 - 5b, that alone just made you profit about 500 - 700m ish profit[/quote]

Nah actually at first they sold for 4 to 6 bilish than as demand skyrocketed people are willing to pay 8 to 16 bil depending on the equips (I sold thief tyrant shoes for 16bilish in pure so I can vouch)

[quote=evilslasher]Honestly, I don't see why you didn't mega marvel the tyrant. Unless you got it on your last run, the chances of getting at LEAST 1 more (out of 6 extras) Tyrant equip is unimaginably better than attempting to get another tyrant equip through a new spin.[/quote]

lol didn't know i thought the mega marvel would have been rigged or such

[quote=googID]This is incorrect. If you have less items in the economy, and less people to buy them, then less money will be made in total, causing all items to deflate naturally. So no, just do it on a popular server that you'll actually play on.[/quote]

No, the number of people in a server does not have anything to do with the meso in circulation, as botters are the ones that generate 99% of the meso.
The amount of botters/server is roughly the same cross-server, so with lower supply of Tyrant, there's a higher price for it in less populated ones.

I'm in Bellonova. When I see Tyrant being sold for the equivalent of 7-8b while in Scania you're lucky to fetch 4.5...

Yes, a Mega Marvel would be nice. However, I'm fairly sure Nexon rigged the Mega Marvel if you get a Tyrant to not give you any multiple of itself.
I've never heard of someone getting a Tyrant and then Mega'ing it for like 2 more or so, and I'm pretty sure most people know to Mega the Tyrant.

How are you so sure it's on the 31st? There's a "00Ffz" sale too; that's Enlightening cubes -40%.
There's a Super Miracle -40%, Enlightening -40%, Marvel -40%, and Gachapon -40% to go, but I have no idea which day they're all on.

[quote=GHOSTxOAE]Honestly? It's almost [b]ALWAYS[/b] worth it [b]IF AND ONLY IF[/b] you are investing that much into it. Why? Simple. Check my analysis below.

Take, for example, the 1 MILLION MAPLE POINTS grand prize available from the Marvel runs. Do you realize it is ABSOLUTELY profitable to invest in a rather large amount of NX IF you were able to use maple points to buy Marvel spins? By the time you spend 500,000 (arbitrary number for those wondering) of the maple points you've already won... chances are you'll hit another 1 Million Maple Points jackpot. Rinse & Repeat.

Good thing they thought of it beforehand.

So whether those spins are "profitable" in the sense that you can make back more than what you invested depends on how much you're willing to spend on them. Consider the fact that TYRANT EQUIPS are in very high demand right now and a year or two from now they won't be selling at 4B a pop. Now apply the same principle in the aforementioned theoretical situation. Now is the best time to do it.

Conclusion: if the price of Tyrant Cloaks are 5B (guess) and you spend LESS than that, your chances of landing another Tyrant are fair and you'd be making a profit, albeit slightly. Of course you can still come out empty-handed, but we're talking about probability here. It is MORE probable that you'd land a Tyrant, than not. Another factor you have to look at which I'm unaware of and personally don't care about (since I'm not buying Marvel) are how much each spin costs and how many spins 4.5B will get you.

PM me if you're interested to hear more.

If that's true, then you can get approx. 3/5 more spins
The LCM of 4,900 and 2,940 (40% off of 4,900) is 14,700
With 14.7k nx you can get 3 spins.
With 14.7k nx and the 40% off you can get 5 spins :O

[b] IF you were able to use maple points to buy Marvel spins?[/b]
you should go to a non populated world and redeem and sell there for nx. I think

EDIT: I mean, go to a world where prices are typically higher and redeem the code for the Tyrant Cloak there, because the demand is the same there, but I could assume the supply is lower, which results in higher prices for them
