I've purchased 5 of the first 5 cheapest Scratchcards, I'm gonna list the results here.

#1 Lucky Lagoon @ ~2300MP Ea:
1. Not a Winner
2. Not a Winner
3. Not a Winner
4. Not a Winner
5. Not a Winner

No surprises there..

#2. Fishy Fortune @ ~2700MP Ea:
1. Not a Winner
2. Not a Winner
3. 135RP
4. 72RP
5. 105BP

3/5, not bad, not a good roi though.

#3. Bubbles Galore @ ~6300MP Ea:
1. Not a Winner
2. 4,107MP
3. Red Knutt Plushie
4. 351RP
5. Mummy Osafo Plushie

4/5, also not bad. Plushies could be useful for the colleciton, but ended up cheaper to purchase than the scratchcards.

#4. Jenoa Ritches @ ~9000MP Ea:
1. Black Twig
2. Not a Winner
3. 313RP
4. 1 Strength Stat
5. Not a Winner

1. Not a Winner
2. Not a Winner
3. Brown Rofling Plushie
4. Starry Glowing Egg
5. Not a Winner

Gambling isn't worth it! The house always wins Smile


Shall I do 1 each of the first 5 most expensive?

So I did a thing..
4 years & 8 days ago
19th Mar 2020 21:49

I decided I would run a little experiment.

I wanted to figure out if I could plot a chart that describes how much profit you'll make ranging on how much MP you start with.

The results are based off the Haunted House quest specifically. This is due to the multiple different factors in each quest.

I started this by getting some base values from the Haunted House Quest.

================
After 50 Quests
Cheapest Item: 53
Most Expensive Item: 9500
================
After 50 Quests
Highest MP Rewarded: 7345
Lowest MP Rewarded: 506
================
After listing the crystals in my shop
Highest Price: 13570
Lowest Price: 6994
================

Notes: 1 in X chance for 25kMP but no crystals (I set this value at a pretty generous 35 for this experiment..

After collecting this data, I scripted a little program to simulate completing haunted house quests. This didn't take long at all, it was quite easy.

How the simulation works is you'll input a starting amount of MP and click go! A whole heap of information will appear and that's it!

Here is a quick screen shot of what I mean using 100,000,000 MP!
simulation.png

Using this *very inaccurate simulation* I had run each simulation once. I noted down the starting MP and Overall Profit. I started this at 100,000 MP and finished at 1,000,000 MP, moving in 100K increments giving me 10 data points for a line chart.

This is that line chart here...
graph.png

Now, you'll notice that it isn't exactly what you probably though you'd see. You would be thinking that it would be a semi-straight line going in one direction, up. Simply because the more money you spend, the more crystals you'll get as well as reward mp, meaning more profit in the end. Right? Well yes, I guess. The issue with this graph is that the results aren't exactly the most accurate.

Here are a couple of things that weren't factored in
- Price Changes on selling the crystals.
- Improper reward system (the 25K random reward wasn't calculated correctly as I didn't know the real change %)
- Buy prices for the items in each quest are completely random, sometimes items are cheaper at their default shops, this isn't factored in.

There are many more I can guarantee. But I'm not here to give you reasons why this failed lol.

So, in theory (and most likely practically) yes, the more MP you start with, the more MP you'll likely end up making after questing for hours on end. Here are raw numbers if you want to see some data for yourself.


======================================
RUN 1 @ 100K
======================================
Time Taken: 2 Minutes 12 seconds
Overall Profit: 28,949
======================================
RUN 2 @ 200K
======================================
Time Taken: 5 minutes 19 seconds
Overall Profit: 77,319
======================================
RUN 3 @ 300K
======================================
Time Taken: 7 minutes 20 seconds
Overall Profit:120,596
======================================
RUN 4 @ 400K
======================================
Time Taken: 9 minutes 10 seconds
Overall Profit: 63,631
======================================
RUN 5 @ 500K
======================================
Time Taken: 11 minutes 55 seconds
Overall Profit: 179,987
======================================
RUN 6 @ 600K
======================================
Time Taken: 13 minutes 45 seconds
Overall Profit: 162,901
======================================
RUN 7 @ 700K
======================================
Time Taken: 14 minutes 29 seconds
Overall Profit: 137,877
======================================
RUN 8 @ 800K
======================================
Time Taken: 25 minutes 29 seconds
Overall Profit: 510,368
======================================
RUN 9 @ 600K
======================================
Time Taken: 21 minutes 16 seconds
Overall Profit: 280,659
======================================
RUN 10 @ 1M
======================================
Time Taken: 25 minutes 29 seconds
Overall Profit: 435,876

Note: The time taken thing, that's based off an average of 11 seconds per quest. So for every quest that is completed, 11 seconds is added to the clock.

In this table of data you'll see the discrepancies in why the line chart is wonky. I feel this is due to the fact that when the simulation ran, it got unlucky with expensive items in the quest, on top of low mp rewards and crystal sell prices.

The same can be seen on the opposite end of the scale with cheap items in the quest, high mp rewards and high crystal sell prices.

To get a more accurate result, it would really only take more time collecting data from the quest and running much more simulations, and simply refining it down until you have the closest average you can achieve.

All in all it was a lot of fun and I did enjoy doing this.

If anybody wants any of the materials I used such as the source code to the simulation or any of the resources I used feel free to MM me and I can let you know! (Source Code will be on paste bin)

I also just realized the application name is MarapestQuest lmao rip.

Yes, you are also correct to say this is excessive. But it's fun and I'm filling in time while I'm home, with nothing better to do
XD

Gonna do another quest run..

Want to see how many runes I can get for 10,000,000 MP worth of quests as well as the overall worth to see what kind of profit I can make!

I will start later on and note down results as I go!

If you want to be updated when I finish, please let me know and I shall tag you in the comments!

Feel free to check out the other two quest runs I did if you\'re interested in some other results Smile

Haunted House + 10,000,000 MP + Double Crystals?!?
5 years, 3 months & 15 days ago
12th Dec 2018 03:42

Well, I\'ve done this before. However I only used 1 million mp. This time, I\'m gonna ramp it up a lot. I\'m going to spend 10 million mp on doing haunted house quests.

Afterwards, I\'m going to jot down a few stats for those who are interested in reading them, then I will clear out my shop, put all the crystals up for sale and see how much profit I draw form this experiment.

As with the previous adventure, this is going to take a lot of time. So check back here in a few hours and there may be some stats Smile I will be going for speed and convenience over straight profit. So I likely won't be buying from game shops, but rather user shops (unless its crazy cheaper)

Do note, with this experiment due to how these quests work, I will be gaining MP as quest rewards. This is factored in and does go towards completing more quests. However I will only start with a budget of 10,000,000 MP.

p.s: any good music you would recommend, feel free to comment it. This is gonna be boring so Im gonna jam some music in the background!!

UPDATE 1
currently at 3,000,000 spent! @ 1:54 AM

UPDATE 2
currently half way! 5,000,000 spent! @ 2:23 AM

UPDATE 3
Gonna call it a night.. will pick it back up later on in the day and pump out the last 3,524,781 MP! @ 3 AM

UPDATE 4
currently at 8,000,000 spent! @ 2:41 PM

UPDATE
paused, gotta go do a few things.. @ 2:59 PM

UPDATE
FINISHED! All (and some) 10,000,000 spent on quests! I will do the calculations when I arrive home from work!

Time taken: 3 Hours 17 Minutes (non-stop)

MP Left over:5,909 MP

Starting amount of quests: 1,180
Ending amount of quests: 2,189

Crystals gained: 2002!

Air Crystal: 142 * 27000 = 3,834,000
Ash Crystal: 142 * 6900 = 979,800
Dark Crystal: 134 * 7126 = 954,884
Digital Crystal: 146 * 6934 = 1,012,364
Earth Crystal: 148 * 7224 = 1,069,152
Energy Crystal: 148 * 7100 = 1,050,800
Fire Crystal: 180 * 6300 = 1,134,000

Love Crystal: 164 * 8249 = 1,352,836
Shadow Crystal: 134 * 8400 = 1,125,600
Steam Crystal: 136 * 7300 = 992,800
Water Crystal: 150 * 6000 = 900,000

At current SS prices, combined these would reap: 17,168,664

Meaning a profit of: 7,168,664 MP at current prices.

Was this worth it? I dunno, it was a lot of effort to make only 7.1 million MP. It was easy, but time consuming at the least.

I will post how much I had made from the sales once the last crystal has been sold. I'll leave it to sit in the till until there are no crystals left.

"You have 15,815,026MP in your Shop Till" <-- thats all of the crystals sold

Haunted House with 1million MP and double crystals
6 years, 2 months & 25 days ago
2nd Jan 2018 08:33

This.. Is.. Going.. To.. Take.. A.. While..

Hi , how this will work is I will quest the Haunted House until all 1 million MP is used up (or can\'t be spent any more, ie the cost of the quest is greater than what I can afford).. For each of the quest I will note the amount of item/s and their what I paid. I will then also list the crystals I get from it (I have the double crystals box.. The point is to get an average profit per quest and see how many crystals 1,000,000 mp will get me xd

WISH MEH LUCK PAL. SEE YOU IN A FEW HOURS BUD.
Okay

Note: Instead of typing the name of each item, I will list the amount of items required.. And the crystals is the combined value plus any mp won..

(FINISHED!!\!Wink


MP left: 3463.. So it took 136 quests to smash 1,000,000 MP. And a time of.. 2 hours, 58 minutes to complete.

Some stats: (probably not very accurate)
Average Cost (per quest): 9793.4 MP
Average Profit (per quest): 7975.5 MP


CONCLUSION
Please note there is ALOT of flaws with how I did this..

Such as counting the mp won in to the profit, this means that the total 1,000,000 initial spending technically goes up x amount (x being the total amount of won mp over the 136 quests). If I want to see the \"raw\" profit, then I would have to sell every single crystal, and only then would I see a closer value to what I would have made in \"profit\" (correct me if I\'m wrong!Wink

Another factor is the fluctuating prices of the crystals. Each value in the \'CRYST\' column is based on the whatever the current price for the won crystal type was at the time of calculating that quests\'CRYST\' value. (ie in quest 1, the value for the won crystal was 8954, but in quest 2 the value went down 100mp. The 100 was not added to keep the playing field even, the used price would have been 8854 for quest 2.).

All in all.. Was this worth it? I dunno. The numbers are cool to look at. I WILL definitely make a profit once I\'ve sold all the gained crystals.. Oh. By the way if you want to know.. Here is some extra stats!

In total, I collected:

Air Crystal: 8
Ash Crystal: 24
Dark Crystal: 16
Digital Crystal: 10
Earth Crystal: 26
Energy Crystal: 14
Fire Crystal: 32
Grime Crystal: 18
Ice Crystal: 22
Light Crystal: 18
Love Crystal: 22
Shadow Crystal: 32
Steam Crystal: 18
Water Crystal: 12

Total: 272 Crystals (136 quests * 2)

Want me to do another quest with a million MP to see the kind of profit? Or maybe this one again, but more MP?? I\'ll do quests that DO NOT require items that are worth lots or are difficult to obtain.. Simply because I want to do lots of the quests, not a couple and have the mill (or more) spent with in the first few quests Smile
