Looking to buy an icon for 60k. (60,000 currants or bargain!)

I already have Mab, Lem, and am Working on Alph. 

If you are willing to sell a different one, let me know.

*UPDATE* I bought a Grendaline for 60k and  in the phase of paying the remaining 20k currants (out of 50k) to my friend. 

As of now, I'm not looking for icons, but rather alph emblems, I have pot,cosma, friendly, etc to offer.

  • You mean an emblem?  If so, I'll sell you whichever you want for that amount.

    Or, I could show you how it's not worth 60k (assuming currants here) to buy one.

  • No... an emblem is worth like 5-10k

    Maybe you are misunderstanding by two factors:

    1) You don't know that and Icon exists and can be made from 11 emblems

    2) K=1000 and you must have thought I meant 60 currants for one emblem? Lol

    Well, I didn't mean to be rude, just unsure why you would think that I would want to buy an emblem for 60,000 currants but you're level 28, so it must be something else ^_^ .

  • 1) Don't know about icons.  Thanks for the heads up.
    2)  I understand that k=1000.  In fact I said 60k, meaning 60,000.  If I thought you meant 60 I would have said 60.  
    3)  You could have edited it before you pushed "Post Reply" and you didn't.  So, Of course you meant to be rude.

  • I dunno about all that, but I could be persuaded to part with my icon of Grendaline for that price. Message me when I'm in game :)

  • From what I've heard, icons are worth closer to 120k... *shrugs*

    Good luck with your search though. ^_^

  • @ Wiggy I apologize, if you care enough post a better sample reply that I could use. I wasn't suspecting that you wouldn't know of Icons. Sorry.

    @Liza will do! :D

    @Miso D: lol. Thanks! (For the good luck part :P). <- Not being rude @Wiggy

  • Technically, the cheapest you can get an emblem for through donations, given that 1 favor = 10 currants of worth as stated in the info page of the item, is 1000*10 = 10,000 currants. Each subsequent emblem for a particular giant costs 100 favor = 1000 currants more, times the number of emblems you've already obtained. So, if you got all the emblems by yourself, the cheapest an icon would cost if you didn't "waste" emblems by spending them to advance skills, is 10,000*11 + (1,000 + 2,000 + 3,000 + 4,000 + 5,000 + 6,000, + 7,000 + 8,000 + 9,000 +10,000) = 165,000 currants.

    If you want to compare it to the amount of currants you could have gotten by selling those items to a tool vendor instead of donating them, it cost you 165,000 times 0.8 = 132,000 currants... wow, that's alot of cubimals.

  • What about with EHSP?

  • Well, I got my icon of mab by creating crystals and donating peat, which isn't really hard. Why people do not use the resources around them... I don't know.

    Good point nonetheless.

  • Extremely Hallowed Shrine Powder

  • Oh, true. I barely used it hehe...

  • Lol Rook I use it all the time.. pretty much every time I make any donation of anything I use EHSP to get the most bang for my buck... er... currant...

  • @Penelope Sue: Yes, the hallowed powders can reduce the "cost" of the emblem by a variable amount, depending on how much you make use of them. If you never, ever, donate anything unless you're on EHSP, then the cost is reduced to one-third of the non-shrine powder numbers I gave. Also, if you use an emblem for anything other than making an icon (unlocking higher skills, spending to speed up skill learning, or donating to fight the Rook), then the cost is increased by 1000 currants per emblem used.

    @Rook: I wasn't suggesting that anyone spend currants to buy things to donate. I was just saying that if you had sold those items you are donating instead, you would have made all that money. You make a decision to either donate or sell, and the numbers I gave give that hidden "cost" for emblems.

  • Rook, I'd sell you mine but they are far too precious to me :). It took ALOT of work to get them.
    Posted 13 months ago by Shepherdmoon Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah, I can see that, I thank you for that stats.

  • I would say that most efficiently the cheapest you could get an icon after having spent one of each on skills (i.e. the first emblem you're using for the icon cost 1100 favor to get) is 17,600 favor points, which is equivalent to 176,000 currants in "value." However with the use of EHSP (bought at auction for around 1800 currants or 360 currants/use) you can reduce that to 1/3 of the cost or 58,667 currants. Now, adding in the lowest value for the EHSP used, 11 shots at 360 c per shot that's 3960 currants.

    So the bare minimum price for an icon from donations is 62,627 ¢.  That said, there are other ways to get favor: quoins, level ups, and quests.  There is also emblem trading to get you there, which would create a much cheaper first icon, but then they are subsequently much more expensive.

    I got all 11 as fast as I could, which was about three RL days from when they were released, and I didn't trade at all to get mine, so I would value mine with the above formula and then ask at least 75k cause a glitch needs to be paid for his time.

    This is just my view of the valuation of icons, though, there are many different ways of approaching this.

  • Holy wow, thanks I can add on to my price if the person wishes hehe. I can't go over 100 though...

  • Hey Rook, I have all of the icons and I am willing to part with one (or more). IM me in game and let me know which you're still shopping for and how much you're shopping with :) I probably won't be in until after 8 pm PDT.

  • Ok, I'll gather the monies, someone is hooking me up with cosma, so I'll leave on standby :)

  • Right now I'm sold out and will be busy this week. So I shall keep all ya all on hold and don't hesitate to sell to others, although it is appreciate to expect me to buy more over time. Right now I have to pay back a friend... hehe.
