Two things - Hidden Tower + Dice-a-Roo

Hi guys! Two things:

 

1) I randomly got given the 10% discount at the Hidden Tower a couple of weeks ago, and frankly I have no use for it whatsoever. The only things worth that much I want to buy are not only NOT in the Hidden Tower, but they're not even buyable I think. These items are the Ghost Fuzzle, Ghost Evil Fuzzle, Insane Evil Fuzzle and Rainbow Evil Fuzzle (if anyone is selling...hint hint). So ideally, being a nice person, I want to help someone and let them take advantage of it if they wanted something there for a slightly lower price. 

 

However, I don't really know how to go about doing this without making myself sound like a scammer! I mean, I know I would love it if someone helped me out like this! So, any words of wisdom about this would be appreciated! :)

 

2) Dice-a-Roo is back! But does anyone ever win anything decent on it? Like, ever?! 

 

Admin - sorry if there is already threads relating to these but I couldn't find any!

Do you already have the Hidden Tower Rich, Richer, Richest avatars? If not, you could use the discount on those books (the Grimoires). They're no trade but they give you an avatar, if you care about that.

 

I think that's what people usually buy in the Hidden Tower. Most of the items sell for less than their HT price on the Trading Post, but you could look to see if there is anything where 10% off the HT price is less than the TP price, and then just sell it on the TP for whatever you bought it for. That wouldn't be scamming at all, and it's pretty much what you're trying to do but in reverse order.

 

For Dice-a-Roo, the only decent thing I've ever gotten from it was the avatar. But some people like to play it just for fun. It can be a good way to kill time and it also is good for trying to get random events.

Honestly, I don't really go for avatars! I wonder if you can GIVE the books to other people? that could be an idea...I guess

 

Good idea you have there Lamppost :) but...I don't have enough NP to buy ANYTHING in the damn thing except the Tombola guy thingy! and he's for sale on the Shop Wiz..go figure!

I think dice-a-roo gives good prizes sometimes and also you get a discount for being a member for so long I think. However, the only reason I play dice-a-roo is for the avatar.

As Lamppost said the books are NO TRADE, meaning you buy them and they're yours. You cannot in any way give them to another user. They're stuck on the purchased account.

 

From the hidden tower you can look at a few of the Battledome items and Paint Brushes to make a quick buck on the TP or auction house. There's also the Faerie Queen Doll I believe which is an avatar item. It's all up to you how you want to spend it or you can just save it for later. As far as I know, they don't expire.

 

I hardly ever play Dice-a-roo so I'm no help there.

If you don't collect avatars, then there's really no point in buying the books, and most of the items go for less in the TP. However, the battle items, such as the Ghostkershield or maybe Dr Sloths personal body armor would be helpful in battle as well as investment opportunities with the 10% off as the hidden tower items have been known to retire. I used to care less about the avatars but for whatever reason became fascinated recently. So, as long as the coupon doesn't retire, you could always hold onto it *just in case* In any case, congratulations on such an amazing RE!! Good luck :)

 

As for the Dice-a-Roo, I used to just play for the avatar, but there's the occasional lottery tickets, they really rack up in the higher dice levels. I've gotten plenty of Neggs and even some halfway decent food items, I don't believe you can win any rare foods, but on a lucky run, you can fill up your inbox and resell them later on. If you do get something worthwhile (Of if you happen to have anything of value in your inbox) be quick to put it in your SDB, as the pant devil will steal it on the higher dice.

The 10% discount doesn't expire. I do believe TNT frowns upon using the 10% discount as a "gift" for someone else. Most Hidden Tower items can be purchased on the TP for cheaper than the HT, anyway. My suggestion is keep it for now if you're not too interested in avatars or battling. Who knows, one day you might change your mind! And you'll be glad to have kept the 10% discount :)

 

As for Dice-a-roo, apart from the avatar, the prizes themselves are pretty mediocre. You really only play it for the page visits for increased random events. The most I've gotten from it was 100k from the jackpot.

Thanks everyone for the ideas and tips! I appreciate it!

 

It's good to see Dice-a-Roo back though! I remember playing it on the old skool Neopets, back in the day...! great fun :)
