I think I made around 700k profit from saggi last night. I don't see anything wrong with that payout.

His payouts are totally within normal range. It just seems like they're worse bc so many high rarity items are artificially expensive after the Quest-A-Thon. Also, you probably have just been a little unlucky lately.

It's important to keep in mind that Saggi does NOT give out a flat rate per item rarity turned in. He gives out a wide range. idr exactly what it is, but let's use a pretend example (that I think is actually pretty close to the real rate). Rare 15-50k and Super Rare 25-100k.

With good luck you can turn in a rare and two super rares and get 250k back. Not bad. On a crummy quest you can turn in those same items and get a payout of 75k. It all comes down to luck. I've had non-weekend Saggi quests give payouts higher than 400k because he asked for four cheap super rares and I got lucky with the payout, but I've also taken lots and lots of losses.

I finally had a pretty good day with Saggitarius, though I still got 40k for a four-item quest, so it wasn't perfect. Nice to know my bad luck's starting to run out, though.
