Best update ever and now I can get rid of more useless items.
This. So much this.
Can you please add the odds of crystals for r101 and r150 and the new rarity in the first post, please?
500 Point Wizard Token Rarity: Special (150)
Can we also make the Credit Gift Cards R155?
Should the 50 v. coin piece also be 155?

Each item gives you 0-1 crystals, so about 50%.
Thanks, changed the token and coin. Not sure why the token didn't update, it was the very first thing I changed earlier! And I managed to remember the steamworks bag but not that coin, thanks! We're keeping CSC as r125 because that kinda overrides any other rarities.
Thanks for fixing those.
The 100 and 250 Credit Gift Cards are both R150, not 125. When I checked them, I just checked the 100 and assumed they would all be the same rarity, that's why I asked about it.

No problem. LOL can just hear the screams of anguish at accidentally fragging CSC!

Sounds exactly like something That would happen to me. I'm so addicted to the cash shop and CWs I'd spend every ounce of sP I have on hand on a gift card..., then accidentally frag it!!!!
Baby Banner is marked as Cash Shop rarity when it's a drop prize from a Cash Shop challenger (none of the other drops seem to be set to this rarity) so I think he needs fixing.
Also, can the rarity on the pieces that make up the Frankenpie and Frankencluck get a rarity change as well so they can be fragged?
-oops, I accidentally pinged to the comments for the news post on this with that info, realized my mistake and thought I should post it here, sorry-
oh my god all my yes ;-; THANK YOU

Yeah. I'm paranoid about CSC cards and usually either get it out of my inventory ASAP or cash it in as soon as I buy it. But I've fragged stuff that I thought I'd put away in the past, so just the idea of being able to frag those cards scared me!

Please let us know if these and the holiday rarities go back to a 1:1 ratio. Until then, I'm sitting on my hoards. Thanks for the update though! :)
We won't be going back to automatically getting 1 for the "special" rarities (101, 115, 150, 160, and 175 all have the same odds). We might do another thing in the future where we make it 0-2 again for a short period, but we're not going to guarantee one!
That's fine, but staff doesn't get to gripe about hoarding. Those things are worth more to me with RB or Quentin quests if they aren't a guaranteed crystal. Actually, even as a guaranteed crystal they are still worth more at RB or even Q, but I would be willing to frag to clear stuff out periodically.
The thing about the Crystal Shop though is that it’s always been a bit of a gamble. Just looking at items that are rarity 1-99, you know the higher end of a rarity will give you 1+ crystals while the lower end you’ll be lucky to get 1. There are so many items in 115, 160, etc that we'd classify as a lower rarity if we were using a 1-99 scale, tbh. We have to look at the big picture, and if each one of those rarities guaranteed one, it’d devalue crystal prices (or we’d have to start making items cost more).
Like I said, that's fine. I'm just letting you know why I'm not fragging everything I own and am sitting on it instead. I can't speak for why others act as they do, but if staff isn't seeing the reduction in items like you all had hoped -- well maybe others feel like I do. Time will tell.
As for crystal devaluation, when I have a lot of crystals, I spend them. Usually I only have enough for books so that's all I buy. If I had enough for the plushies, etc... I'd buy those too.
No, I get that! You're more than welcome to wait until things pop up in the Recycle Beast if you think that's a better choice (with the new changes we pushed, quite a few items that are fraggable might pop up there) or whatever else. I just wanted to explain our reasoning for why we've kept it at 0-1 for the rarities over 99.
and I both want users to achieve their goals, whatever they may be. That's why we're working on bringing back old collection items where we can and doing changes to things like fragging and recycling. There's a thread in S&I that has some great ideas to "help stop hoarding" but I see it more as YES GOALS TO COMPLETE. Like the food day suggestion, there are a lot of people that want to be able to get the gourmand achievements but hunger takes ages to go down. We want to play around with that some!
