Auctionhouse issue- firefly jars

Not bug, so it's going in general discussion. I know people have complained about auctionhouse before, and TS are working on revamping the system. 

I just discovered a very broken aspect of the sorting- firefly jars. Because an empty firefly jar is worth so much less than a full one... and due to the way auctions are sorted... I'm unable to buy a full firefly jar- the first page is full of empty or 5/7 full jars. I'm sure that this is just as frustrating to the glitches who are trying to sell full firefly jars.

P.S.- firefly catching itself is not quite right... else I wouldn't be checking the auctionhouse for full jars. You should at least be able to consolidate your half-full jars or something. Having all of my previously caught fireflies.. fly away..  when I attempt to gather more... is not my idea of fun. I just want to light up a carved pumpkin... it shouldn't take me an hour to do this!

  • Sly, you should be able to scroll down the page, and click on all the pages for the auction.

    If you can't see links to other pages at the bottom, it's a bug

  • Sure enough...I'm an idiot, thanks.

  • Your idea to be able to consolidate partial jars is definitely a good one that has been asked for before.  It is even more critical now with the lack of fireflies due to slow regen, and high demand to light up lanterns.

  • Maybe there should be a firefly consolidationator® . Also, it would be nice if I could craft firefly jars.

  • A better solution would be for people to just release their fireflies. That's what I do when I get a 5/7 or 6/7 jar. Then I just use another jar to capture 7/7. It's not rocket science.

  • I release my half full jars by clusters of 3-4 fireflies and recapture all of them at once.

  • It was impossible release and recapture fireflies when the pumpkins first came out.  Other Glitchen would take your half-jar of fireflies before you could whistle them back into the second jar.  We really need a way to combine jars with the spawn spots so limited.

  • There is a firefly consolidationator®.  It's called the Blockmaker.  You just need to learn Blockmaking to use it.

    (when making Bricks with the Blockmaker the recipe uses 5 fireflies, which can come from any jar in your possession.)

  • Oh, cool! I learned block making this week but can't try it until I get back from vacation and on a real computer. Thanks for the info!

  •   A crystal still requires a full jar as does lighting a lantern.
