1000 Pearls For The Risian Cruiser, Then Can You Use 40 To Get The Corvette?

I really wanted both ships, to my knowledge once you have 1000 Pearls you can get the cruiser but can you also get the corvette with 40 on another Toon? I was told before that you need 1000 then for other Toons you just need 40.

    Nope. 1000 for each ship each, and then 40 for any ship you already have on a different character.

    I ran the Cruiser project on one toon and the Corvette on the other. Got both ships on all toons.

    Yes, on the first run of each project you have to pay 1,000 pearls. Then once completed and you own that ship its price drops down to 40 for each of your other characters. So if you have the corvette (which cost 1,000 the first time around), it only takes 40 pearls to get it again on any of your other toons. If you have the cruiser same deal. And no, you don't have to have the two on the same character to get the discount. They are general account offers.

    That's how it works.

    Once one of your toon buys either the Cruiser or the Corvette for 1,000 pearls then all toon on your account can buy the same ship for just 40 pearls.

    If you have two or more toons and you want both ships, then one toon will need to by the Cruiser for 1,000 pearls and a different toon would need to buy the Corvette for 1,000 pearls. After that happens then all you toons on your account can buy each ship for 40 pearls.

    Wow in three posts you went from "how does this work?" to "please give me free stuff".

    That's got to be some kind of record.

    Well I think that would be a big waste of money, considering the corvette was nerfed so I'm not gonna do this anymore.

    ....... Corvette Nerf? When did this happen?

    1st Time running the Luxury Cruiser you need 1000
    1st Time running the Risian corvette you need 1000

    Basacly if you don't have the ships and want both, you need 1000 pearls...

    I'd suggest, you run 1 project in 1 toon and run the other on another toon if you haven't already done so, this way you can get 40 pearls in 1 toon (a day) and 40 in the other....

    after you have completed them you can get the ships for 40 pearls...

    don't think there is enough time to get the ships now tho...

    It wasn't nerfed, not that I know about... I don't think so, the only thing that got nerfed was the console it came with, so it could give you the bonus if you have both the luxury ship's console and corvette consoles... 2 piece set...

    dunno about the ship getting nerfed itself tho...

    If you can't get the second ship this year, just wait and do it next year.

    Yup.
    And in the meantime, pick one character that you do the Pearl Daily on even after you're completed. Gives you a head start next year.

    Exactly! I got the Corvette (I mean, corvette :rolleyes:) last year. Got the Luxury Liner this year. And I'm already half way to getting next year's ship, if there is a new ship next year. :D

    Obtained 1080 pearls for each of my 3 characters and will obtain 1080 autographs for each of my 3 characters for the Winter Event. Come the first day of Summer Event 2015 and 2016 I will have the next Summer Event ship the day it comes out without spending hundreds of dollars on Lobi. So for 2 years, I will have a break from the Summer Event and Winter Event grinds.

    I ran the daily on 4 toons but applied the pearls to only 2 for the ships. When those were conplete I got the ships on all 6 of my girls and have enough pearls for whatever ship they decide to come out with next year.

    Thanks for the help, I just wanna be sure I can do this without any bugs. So just to confirm, all I have to do is get 1000 Pearls and get the ship, then I can go on my level 10 alt and run it once and I get the second ship for 40 pearls right?

    yes, once one character finishes the 1000 pearl project for the ship, that ship, now and forever, will be only 40 pearls for your alts.

    Did the same. Infact found out the cruiser console couldn't be reclaimed in the Dil store so for some re ran the 40 pearl run again just to get another cruiser just so each ship could have both consoles.

    I was going to buy some keys with zen but I have spent a lot of money on my recent vacation so I won't have enough, I need about 5-10 keys, can anyone help me?

    Some of us can't afford a vacation in the first place so you can guess how much I care about you not being able to afford some keys.
