    /thread

    /thread my butt

    he was asking how the people with the cat shops got them...since they don't exactly drop like candy from monsters

    As far as I know, the majority of people get them from trading the the luck tokens from the anniversary packs....which some rich people bought as many as 200$ worth

    Ok the way you say it, these oracles MAGICALLY appeard into the game from catshops. You are not good at explaining things and answering questions properly. He asked how they are gotten BESIDES monsters. they don't magically get generated from CATSHOPS

    It may come from cashshop, but you can get it using In game monies. (Buy tokens from catshop, or gold trading.) Thanks. :)

    Of course, you failed to read what was said. CASHshop, not CATshop. Otherwise known as the boutique. More precisely:

    Anniversary packs->tokens of luck->gift exchange (where you can get most of the oracles).

    You can get 4 of the lower level oracles from 1 anniversary pack (15 tokens of luck) and still have a few tokens left over (depending on what level or oracles you get).

    the original purchase point is cashshop, as i graphed out. therefore, they come from cashshop.

    They do come from cashshop, but it's, in this case of figure, an indirect way.
    May as well say they come from coins that player saved. Not all the persons selling Oracles are CS user.

    /fail counter counter argument, the core point was related since the player who is selling Oracle isn't using cash shop. They may have a relation undirect with cash shop, but you can't say they come from cash shop :)

    also:
    their origin is the cashshop, therefore they were purchased from cashshop. stop trying to argue against fact

    You're very close, but the actual complete sequence is slightly longer, although the end result is the same:

    oracle --bought with--> token --obtained from--> other players selling to catshop --obtained from --> annipack --bought from--> cashshop

    My girlfriend and I have been selling mostly Oracle II, III, V and VI since about a week after the event started. If you've seen a catshop completely packed with Oracles at the West Archo crossroads with a title like, "Oracle 5 50k", it was probably either me or my girlfriend.

    On average, it took about 1 1/2 days to do a complete cycle of buying tokens, making 360 Oracles, then selling 360 Oracles. At 10% markup (which seriously undercut almost all of the competition), the average profit was about 1.2million per catshop per day.

    Things have slowed down, however, because we've saturated the Oracle market. Also, Tokens are getting harder to buy. It seems more people are beginning to realize just how valuable Tokens are and less people are liquidating them. The end result is that the market is getting risky, so I've exited it at this point.

    your point has nothing to do with oracles

    Yes it does....but mostly on your point that it is all CS.

    Reread....I am simply making a point that CS does not have to be initially touched to get access to them.

    As you claimed in the post above the one I was quoting.

    So we can go like this: (just saying....you nothave to spend RL $$ as you have been so bitterly implying)

    oracle --bought with--> token --obtained from--> annipack --bought from--> cashshop --> gold obtained by in-game coins in AH

    oracle --obtained from--> spring pack --bought from--> jolly jones for GA --bought from--> cashshop --> with gold from in-game coins

    oracle --obtained from--> spring pack --bought from--> jolly jones for 100k


    ** Are you bitter about the CS or what? You seem to be hyper-fixated on this when the answer to the OP's question was simple...

    ** Are you bitter about the CS or what? You seem to be hyper-fixated on this when the answer to the OP's question was simple...

    you have still failed to provide a counter-argument. regardless if you buy the gold with RL cash or ingame coin, the oracles still come from cashshop

    and the jolly jones i put in there only because yes, they can come directly from him without touching the cashshop/gold, but again, too expensive to make it worth it (you also excluded mob drops, but yea, waaaaay too rare)

    also, i'm pretty sure the OP is referring to the current catshop flood of oracles, which has nothing to do with jolly jones. i could be wrong on this point though, but since the post is made today, i'll continue with that assumption unless OP says otherwise

    also, not bitter about cashshop, in fact, quite the opposite. i like the cashshop (even though i myself cannot afford to spend on it except in the rare occasion)


    finally, lest we forget the origin of this debate:

    i simply gave the pertinent information that the OP was asking for. where are they coming from in such large quantity?

    Sorry, I gotta side with Alexeno on this one.

    I haven't touched the cashshop at all, even though my girlfriend and I have sold over 5,000 Oracles during this event.

    But for me to argue, "No, they don't come from the cashshop," would be exactly the same as me trying to argue, "No, bread does not come from wheat, it comes from the supermarket."b:chuckle
