Yeah, so I haven't played this game in ages (I first started playing it the day it came out in open beta!) and I just picked it up again the other day. Everything seems nice, I've grasped the whole fire crystal level up and orbs of alchemy mechanics. I still have all my old tier 5 armor, but I decided to work on a new armor set and specialize in something different.

Anyway, my questions are more about buying/selling, hence why I'm in this section of the forums. I have a 3 variant ticket somehow. Now I noticed when I talked to the UV guy, you can buy them for a lot of crowns, so it seems like it's worth a lot. Is it possible to trade this thing away, and if so, how much could I get for it? I'm too scared to use it right now, but I might (for my potential armor set and stuff).

I also have the Red Regalia set (already bound), but it doesn't look like I can unbind any of it. Which is fine, if I have to keep it I like the look of it. But is it even possible to put it up for trade?

Thanks!

Flowchart

should be in bazaar forum.
But I'll answer it anyway, you can probably sell it for just under what Punch charges (225k cr), although the number of buyers for 3 uv tickets is going to be limited.

You can't unbind costumes so you're stuck with it. At least it's something OOO hasn't put back up on sale yet though.

@Flowchart Thanks, my mistake

@Flowchart

Thanks, my mistake about the forum. Still debating on whether or not I should use the ticket on gear...

bound items usually have blue dots

Welcome back to the game. I think that Flowchart is right, but here are the general procedures for answering such questions yourself:

Bound items are now marked with blue dots. Possibly that doesn't apply to UV tickets, but you should check yours for a blue dot, or try to trade it to a friend, just as a test (but don't go through with it). Obviously you can't sell the thing for any more than Punch sells it. I don't know anything else about the price. As Flowchart said, price checks and offers go in the Bazaar forum.

Punch's friend Vise does the unbinding. If you don't know whether you can unbind something, just try there (but don't go through with it).

You'll probably be better off just selling it for about ~210k. You have to sell it for less than Punch, else you wont get any customers.

Oh, and something that was added to UV rolling: You can now lock certain UV's when rolling. So if you have a Flourish with ASI med, you can use your triple UV ticket on it, but lock the ASI med UV. Thus, you'll end up with a Flourish with the same ASI med UV, as well but with two additional random UVs.

That brings me to my next

That brings me to my next question, what IS the best way to sell things? Is it in-game, or on the forums? Is there a trade chat command in-game? I feel like there is, but I've forgotten it by now.

The best way to make money it

The best way to make money it was always via trading in the forum or /trade channel. Also AH is fuked up, the whole re-sell recipe economy is fuked up really.

Trade channel in game. Type "/join 2" while in haven, and then "/2 [MESSAGE]" to post in it. It'll take a while, but your message will reach those who would actually be interested in listening to it. You can leave trade channel via "/leave 2"

If you want the best Battle Sprite, get a Maskeraith.

Don't upgrade weapons past 4* until 5* Fire Crystals drop normally.

Farm for candy instead of Vana and buy boxes until the event ends, then grind FSC in elite mode.

A Gunner Update is coming.

Achreon had a big buff.

Sentenza is now a hipster weapon.

Don't create a guild because popular ones now crowd out all the T1 and T2 guilds.

Never bribe King Kromgo.

A 4* heart pendent is a LOT more expensive than a 4* mod.

Only feed your Battle Sprite 5* mats from level 1-30 then feed it 2* mats and craft enough pet food to go to level 105.

5* mats' prices have skyrocketed.

Moonstone and Valestone are worthless, only get Luminite, Crimsonite, or Dark Matter.

Sparks of Life should not be wasted on nothing.

Do NOT buy Fire Crystals from the Supply Depot.

@U77654

Maskeraith isn't objectively the best. Drakon is the best for speedrunning with Backfire Barrier and if you get Scorching Barrier instead, you have one of the most powerful things there is. It deals immense damage and boosts your defence by 75%.

Grinding FSC in Elite is not the best way to gather crowns. Speedrunning FSC on Normal is more effective and speedrunning O:CH on Normal is much more effective.

Bribing Krogmo is still the only way to get some Bombheads.
