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!
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!
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 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!?
