Hello merchant community, i'll drop a quesiton here for those dedicated gens who pops BB occasionally.

 

So, as i understand, most of the serious BBers stock while its cheap and pop them while its 2x drops with HE gum and vip combined.

 

So that is actually quite some drop rate (7x) , if we consider this to be a 1 man job(idk if its even possible to do effectively,i only did it with my guildies a few times just for fun) is it possible to make profit out of it,or at least gain as much as you spend on bbs and consumables, lest say with 1k bbs ? 

 

This is i am assuming you don't get a card drop of course.

 

I have around 6-7b worth of item/zenny, and i don't play actively anymore.I'm just thinking of ways to have fun from time to time while i keep my zenny reserve intact.

Drops are purely luck.

 

You can kill 1000 and get no mvps or you can kill 500 and get a bee, thanatos and hibram card... Not sure what non card drops(valk stuff and ifrit rings?) average out to.

 

But yeah the exp on gen for ifrit/bee with x3 manual and vip is insane.

The MVP drops can slow the inevitable loss of zeny but will not support a BB addiction like I have unless I get a MVP card. I use to just pop like 10 a day but now that they raised the level cap to 175/60 I have to pop at least 20 to get full value of one x3bm. I supplement my addiction with the cash shop. The current groovy box is great. Overall you lose money. It's even worse if you pop BB's with a party. Best to just dual client a gen and sura lol.

A lot of people wait for double drops to pop BB's. Unfortunately the game is ok with 2X exp but they rarely do 2X drop. I can't even remember the last time we had a server 2X drop event. So I just pop with normal rates on VIP/Hegum. I've been lucky enough to get 6 MVP cards and all came during a normal drop rate period.

Oh, thank you for the detailed answer.So, as i get it from your post, even with 2x server rates, it might not possible to earn as much as you burn ? 

 

I think i'll just keep stocking BBs and see what to do later. Since i'm not actively playing anymore, time is no problem for me.

As i said, server rates no longer apply to BB's tho. Ive heard this from many many many other players. 2x EXP nor 2x Drops.

I heard about exp not being affected, but drops should be still.
