I've noticed a change but I just attributed it to more people doing the quests... IMHO, any quests that asks for holiday items is going to bottleneck eventually. Holiday items are, by their very nature, released in limited quantity and after a period of time the items with the least copies released will sky-rocket as people buy them for quests, etc. Eventually even items that were released in massive quantities will be affected as people continue to turn them in, thus completely taking copies out of circulation... I'm not sure how one could conceivably code it in such a way as to stay ahead of the market, even with new holiday items being released and added to the list of items requested (supposedly.. has anyone seen Quentin ask for the new 2014 items yet?)... Cinthia benefits from having a continual source for most/all of the "special" items that she requests since game prizes that are still actively rewarded will supplement the market in most cases.

I only attempted the first 10 out of 30 possible for today... Had to give up 4 because the holiday items were ridiciously overpriced compared to the potential rewards: at 838,999 sP at 989,990 sP at (an insane price of) 3,820,000 sP at 942,997 sP Also, items from event shops (like Menagerie and Esther's) generally maintain usershop value of 100k+ anyway, without additional inflation from quests... I think the event shop holiday items need to be changed to a different rarity or Quentin's Quests needs to be coded in such a way that he won't ask for those items... Oh and please, somebody, make him stop asking for Vesnali flowers! I'm already considering asking begging that the most popular older flowers be released this upcoming Vesnali instead of new ones or, at the very least, in equal amounts to the new ones... My favorites are beginning to be (or in a couple cases are already) priced out of the range for me to be able to buy them and use them in TCs. -insert sad face here-

I am hoping that there can be some lasting solution can be found for Quentin, as I quite liked the amulet prizes. That said, I'm still dubious about the likelihood of that happening. I'd happily settle for a temporary solution though, so I could enjoy him/his amulets for that much longer.

Actually, I kind of like it when he asks for event shop items. But I guess that's unfair of mee... - I have a stock of tokens at least that I can buy from the libertine and steamworks shops if I need to. S'a way for me to save on SP at least.

Though for me, Quentin's always been pretty ridiculous soooo... but then I don't do her very often because of that. I didn't even realize this was a potential bug. Haha

I've found that a lot of the quests that I've having to reject are older Vesnali flowers and older Morostide candies. The problem with those is last Morostide and Vesnali no old items were given away and the limited supplies in shops have really hurt the prices, since the older items have pretty low Overall Averages, even if you turn it in you're not going to get much.

From my gallery, I have almost all the Vesnali flowers, and these are the cheapest/reasonable to consider turning in (according to SL there are 238 flowers) less than 60 of those are anywhere under 20k (most range from 12k and up)

Stuff Quentin Asked for Today *

*I got the last decent one at 19k Quit 11out of 30

Quentin asked me to get this for him today. There is only one user shop that sells them, and it's priced at 49,999,999 sP. A little bit pricey if you ask me...

The Bubblegum Pop was a personal favorite, with not a single on in user shops, and the bunny running second with a 24mill sP price tag :P

Today was also strange in prizes, it was the first time I've actually lost over 100k (around 130k) while doing his quests. I did receive 1 amulet, and about 10 tokens, which is great, but besides the fact that I quit 12 quests, 14 of the quests were simple r160 prizes.

Yeah he's not any better after the fix. I got asked for one item over 5mil and I think I had one that was worth 3mil or something earlier too. I've had to exit out of quite a few of them. :/

Losing truckloads of money and getting junk in return. Along the Mage Amulets, the little creep has stopped giving me any sP as well. Well, almost!

I did notice a slight difference right after the fix. I've still had off days since then (yesterday was really bad, I finished maybe half my quests). Today I actually made a very slight sP profit though, and I got two amulets (one of which I was missing in my gallery) c:

Completed: {bought from lounge)

Quit: (around 50k sp and up)

I only lost about 22k this time around, and I did get 2 mage amulets, so not a bad day today. I did have to quit exactly half the quest because they were too expensive though.

Today was noticeably better for me... I completed 20 or so out of 30 possible, only completing the ones that were under 50k. (I did have an exact number because I was saving the shop searches... But I closed the window... Nice. >.< ) I made a 130k profit and got 3 amulets. I also did not get asked for any items that cost over 500k. I did however get asked for a Libertine Lounge item and an Esther item. I think I find this more annoying since I'm one of those users affected by the multi-purchase glitch. Even if I had the tokens I wouldn't buy the items for a quest and risk get one or two extra copies...

I am still hoping for a solution to the Vesnali flowers as well. I'd be perfectly content to see them added to Esther's, if they aren't added to the RE rotation. They are very beautiful and there is really nothing else like them on the site... -thinks it might also be neat to be able to "pick" them from the garden during Vesnali- (I also think I need to take this to the suggestion board because it's only very remotely related to the topic at hand.)
