#### Why is Musicblock BB5 worth so much at auction?

The title says it all. I don't get it.

- From what I remember, it's the rarest music box drop.

- Because it's harder to get than the others.
  I have never gotten it since they reset the game. I don't think I'd gotten it before they reset the game, after they released that set.

- huh. when i saw the auction prices I put the 2 from my stash up and they sold right away. Chicken-slamming has me buried in musicboxes. (yes, i donate them)

- I've got about three during the game, and I do a lot of things that give musicblock drops. In comparison I must have had over fifty XS-3s.
  The price at auction is actually a bit lower than it was. I remember a month or so ago it was up above ₡6,000 and may even have hit ₡9,000. (I think that's longer than either of the auction tracker tools will display, but perhaps there's database rows that'll confirm that.)

- I do a ton of things that give me music blocks; more often than not, I'm swimming in them and sell or donate them. I am simply terribly unlucky when it comes to BB-5. But I'm gonna keep on trying.

- I have been playing since the reset and I do tons of things that give musicblocks. I just got my first BB-5 last week. Your time will come, Little Miss Giggles!

- Both BB-5s I've come across have come from lucky spins on the wheel.

- I've never managed to get a BB-5. I bought mine to get the trophy, and then put it back up for auction.

- I had like 5 and was shocked when I saw how much they were auctioning for. Prior to that I'd treated all of them the same and have no doubt chucked several into shrines!

- Huh. My BB-5 came pretty early for me, and I think I got quite a couple more from spinning the wheel as well which got promptly donated.
  But so far I had not a single BB-4. I don't know why either.

- From my own personal experiences my thoughts are that BB-5s come, mostly, from tending patches. I'd never come across a BB-5 EVER before I began trying for my tending badges. After 500 tendings I'd come across ten or more BB-5s.
  I am unsure if SA V is needed, though I do have it and did at the time.

- @Liza interesting - I'll have to go patch hunting! I hate poisoning trees so I don't get much opportunity to tend.
  I too am swimming in music boxes. I must have gone through hundreds of them but I have never had a BB5. I've held off buying it because I'd like to 'earn' the last one myself!

- I was wondering the exact thing earlier today...So it seems that it comes most from tending patches and spinning the wheel?

- I got mine when I was scooping up jellisacs...

- I got quite a few of BB 5s. I'm sure I donated a few. Gave one away to another player cheap and then he told me about the auction price for these MBs. So I sold the last two :)
  I still have one in my collection of the entire MB set. The only one missing is the SB MB which I have no idea how to obtain.

- BB-5 was the last (regular) musicblock I got, & like Rosque, I got mine scooping jellisacs too!
  I hadn't really gathered jellisacs before, but I filled a bag space while I was exploring Chakra properly for the first time & was really chuffed when I got it, I was determined not to cave & buy it at auction. Maybe the trick to getting one is to try collecting/harvesting something you don't usually go for!?

- Been playing since Launch 1, and no BB-5. On the other hand, I hardly ever hit the bogs... maybe it's time?!

- I got my first BB-5 the other day, and I didn't even notice how I got it. :(

- I got a BB5 while mining a metal rock or while smelting during the mining process; not sure which.
