Well it's been fun! I came back to RO with 200m zeny after a very long hiatus, and will be disappearing until the cat race comes in
I used 200m to buy MCAs, which were super cheap compared to when I left, and I got a DR. So I sold the DR for 700 or something, and bought 45ish MCAs. Then I got a DR, and sold it around the same price, got another 45-50 MCAs, and so on. I did this about 7 or 8 times, and in total ended up opening a grand total of around 650-700 MCAs. My last DR went for 1.1b but apparently could have gone for 1.6, whaddayado!
I got x1 DR every time I opened 50 MCAs, except on one occasion when I got 2. The time after that I got 0. Then, to top it off, I went nuts and opened 120 MCAs this morning, and got 0.
The best tactic I found was to log out every time I opened 4. When I deviated from this, I got nothing! I.e. spamming them or opening a bunch all at the same time was a miserable fail. Being totally superstitious, sitting in my favourite spot in Eden Group, wearing my adventurer trusty towel and kissing birds hat seemed to work better. I also unequipped all my other gear, as I used to do whenever upgrading, just so the RO higher powers wouldn't scoff at me!
In case anyone cares for what I got, here are the rough numbers before I dropped all the low quality cards in south pront today. I also gave away 7 AA and x4 Angeling, so hope some of you got lucky out there!
