el_blubo Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Oh goodness today I went and looked at the previous prize shops to see how many prize points it would take to get the good stuff and now Im kind of worried that I wont be able to get anything good with the track im on, any suggestion about if you've had the same problem and what to do about it (besides the obvious) and how many prize points i should try to go for?
Bubbleline Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 First of all, what's your rank and what prizes are you aiming for? Last year, I got a decent amount of prizes I was happy with and I was only rank 4
el_blubo Posted June 8, 2012 Author Posted June 8, 2012 well I rank 5 right now with 196 yyb wins and im going to get to atleast rank 6 tonight for prizes I would be going for like the top 5 prizes and Im hoping one of them is a pb
Bubbleline Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 I think if you make it to rank 14 or 15 by the end of the cup, you'll have enough to get some of the good prizes. Just try and get to the highest rank you can, and try not to stress too much about prize points. At worst, you could probably buy 1 or 2 of the expensive items and pay for any other items you didnt have enough points to get.
el_blubo Posted June 8, 2012 Author Posted June 8, 2012 i was planning on buying some of the items anyways.... i still regret selling the yooyu I earned in ac2 for 100k... now its worth around 2m XD hopefully ill find some of this years prizes for decent amounts
Zooba Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Have you seen the sneak peek of the new prize shop? You can plan out what you want to buy and make sure you earn enough points before the cup ends. http://www.jellyneo.net/?go=altadorcup7&id=prizes
Hidden Oracle Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 I doubt those are the point values. xD I remember the top prizes were all 10k points and up. One was a pb and it was 40k. o__o Also, how'd they get a hold of the prizes? o__o
Zooba Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 No idea how, I also remember the PB being 40k. I know I'll never be able to get that many prize points. But the other stuff was pretty affordable actually, like the wearables and books and stuff. The expensive stuff were all in the bottom row and were like action figures and limited edition yooyu petpets, as well as the pb. I'm more interested in the clothes and books tbh, they end up at a decent value and I actually get some use out of them. More importantly I don't have to spend a month cloistered in my room playing YYB 24/7 to earn them XD.
paperdoll66 Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 The paintbrush's cost in points varies a lot depending on what brush it is. If the brush is a less expensive one, they might require less points. In the earlier cups, the paintbrushes weren't nearly as expensive as the one they gave out last year.
MysteriousUser Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 40000 for a PB??? Was the point system the same as this year? Who has the time to sit down for hours and garner more than 50000 points from this accursed event? :V I'll be lucky if I even make it to rank 20. :/
glorious918 Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 I think there would be more. Both Altador Cup V and Altador Cup VI has 48 prizes in the Prize shop.
Hidden Oracle Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 How do you convert your scores to prize points? Anyone know? D:
paperdoll66 Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 How do you convert your scores to prize points? Anyone know? D: I don't know if there is a formula for it, but the Rank Calculator includes your prize points.
tamashiiresonance Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Yeah the rank calculator can tell you your prize points. However I was thinking about it and I wonder if it's accurate, what with the new system and all. There was also a rumor that playing the games when they offer bonus points also gives you bonus prize points.
Ashbash Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 This is the first year I think I'll actually be somewhat happy with what I get. I'm definitely not the best but I'm doing better than I have in the past.
Hidden Oracle Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Yeah the rank calculator can tell you your prize points.

D: I played a ton when it's a bonus game. xD Also I did the rank calculator, and apparently I have 4,400 prize points. D: I want at least 40k in case there's a paintbrush. xD
Mscoffee Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 I have 1843 prize points so far, I dont think I'll be seeing 40,000 this year o_O
Shiny Vulpix Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Well,heres almost all the prizes.From Jellyneo.(might be all) http://www.jellyneo....rcup7&id=prizes Kinda cool right?No 100000 points or anything.
lovedwallflower Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 will the prize shop be staying open throughout the year till the next AC?
Ashbash Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 ^It typically stays open until the next AC. I just did the rank calculator and I've got close to 5000 prize shop points. So hopefully I can get a few good things. I really want a DC pillow. It's so cute.
UND3AD Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 I hope they change some of the prizes or something....they don't look too appealing to me :(
Azeruth Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Usually the Cup Prize Shop stays open until like a week before sign-ups start for the next AC. There will be something in the news to remind you. I don't think the final top prizes are known yet, but I'm at 48k points so...I could pick the top prize most likely for once. Why does Elon get an action figure? And only 300 points for a Faerie Yooyu? Weren't Mutants worth like, 20k last year?
xtreme654 Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Well, as of now, I have 20,384 points, so if I can get higher than that, I'm hoping I get at least one of the top prizes, this is actually the first time I can actually buy the top prize. Really hope that's enough to get a pb :)
Tedhaun Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 I don't think the final top prizes are known yet, but I'm at 48k points so...I could pick the top prize most likely for once. Why does Elon get an action figure? And only 300 points for a Faerie Yooyu? Weren't Mutants worth like, 20k last year? I just wanted to correct something on the Mutant Yooyu price. Mutant Yooyus cost 30,000 AC Prize Shop points last year. Source: http://www.thedailyneopets.com/altador-cup/prizes-ac6/ If you ask me, TNT will possibly up the price of the Faerie Yooyu. 300 AC Prize Shop points is too low for such a rare and elegant Petpet.
