Final Shipment now available at the Extremely Rare Items Vendors

The final shipment is in. Once sold out, these four items will never be sold at vendors: www.glitch.com/items/collec... • http://www.glitch.com/items/collectibles/npc-cubimal-factorydefect-chick/ •

However, we did hold a few of them — 3 Yetis, 12 chicks, 9 potatoes and 6 spigots —  in reserve to hide around the world, use in future giveaways, and other purposes to be determined.

It was a fun and interesting experiment. So far, over 800m currants have been drained from the money supply (more than 40% of the currants held by active players) and another 750m so generated and spent on rares since they've been available.

  • I spent over 10 million currants so I had fun getting all that.

    How much did I have in my pocket when I started?  1.3 million.

    Good fun, thanks TS.  Just wait a little while before you do it again, ok?  Thanks.

  • you're right, pondering the existence of a meaningless object is very zen! 

    especially if you simultaneously ponder its non-existence.

  • Ah but I never called it meaningless.

  • Part 3 of 'Hoarder Intervention'. Ah, if only TS had a time lapse camera set up at both tool vendors, to show the comings and goings the past week compressed within a couple of minutes. Scurrying ants comes to mind. But it was worth it, I'm a happy ant (no Yeti for me, but hey 4/5 ain't too shabby).

  • As one of the newer players in this game (just started Aug 2d), I was so excited to see this opportunity to push myself to try to earn enough currants for the lowest item.  So many were complaining that they didn't have enough currants and it wasn't fair.  I just wanted to see if I could get anything before it all disappeared.  Well, I have to say, that after learning about Yellow Crumb Seeds, I went on a planting and harvesting and selling binge (a big thanks to those on that Yellow Crumb Road route after I had harvested my own plots!!).  I even wasn't able to play the game for quite a few days since I was out of town and didn't have internet access.  Tonight I purchased my spigot!!  I was so excited and happy over being able to purchase something so useless and silly.  But it was a fun goal to try to get one before they disappeared, and prove that if you focus your efforts, you can still enjoy these types of item introductions, even if you don't initially have the currants. What fun...and good deal, good deal! :D   Thanks TS for this experience! And I really like my spigot!

  • The fake Yetis are SOLD OUT.
    I knew I wasn't going to make the currants in time, but part of me hoped I could. 
    Maybe Rube will offer me one of the holdbacks.  Yeah.  uh huh.  He comes to my door with  anything less that  rare uselessness and I'm gonna turn my spigot on him.
