Fishing Treasure Map 13

twiter786 Oct 20240comments

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

3/5, Considering it's more expensive. Overall bleh.

#5. X Marks The Spot @ ~Hidden Price (Will update when I can see it lol)
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 :slight_smile:

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

So I did a thing..twiter78

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!

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...

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 :dizzy_face:
- Buy prices for the items in each quest are completely random, sometimes items are cheaper at their defau

Haunted House + 10,000,000 MP + Double Crystals?!?twiter78

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 :slight_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!
