Inuashakent Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 the most logical and efficient way to do this is too buy a good chunk of shards YOURSELF from the summoning shop. While this many mean a bigger initial costs as you train you can get 3/4 of these back everytime so works out cheaper in the long run, especially as none of the useless pouches really get sold anymore due to the fact everyone trades them in. If you buy say 100k shards from the store fo4 25gp ea that costs you 2.5 mil However you use your 100k shards Get 75k back then you'll get 56,250 of them back then 42,187 31,640 23,730 17,797 13,348 10,011 7,508 5,631 4,223 3,167 2,375 1,781 1,336 1,002 751 563 422 317 237 178 133 100 75 56 42 31 23 17 13 10 7 5 4 3 2 1 All in all this works out to you having the use of 399,976 Shards from the price of 100k, eg roughly quadruple what you bought in the first place. But you're forgetting that you could also trade them in even if you bought pouches. Your same math applies if you bought pouches - you could get 399,976 shards for less than 100k.

Sy_Accursed Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 My whole point was virtually NONE of the useless pouches that are therefore cheap are actually sold these days as everyone trades them in for shards meaning unless you have a hell of alot of time wait for trades to go through your gonna be far more productive buying shards. As the reuse factor means your saving loads anyway and any decent pouches you make can be sold for a profit which equates to more than the initial cost Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauke Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 Thanks for the constructive replies all. I've been buying 16k swamp titan pouches overnight, and I am using the "re-use" tactic as described above. It all worked out.
