Don't like what the Recycle Beast is asking for? You can now spend recycling points to shuffle ALL the items! Everyone sees when someone shuffles and the cost doubles each time you do it, cooling down over a few days. Chaos encouraged.
This was added while fixing the nightly cron that changes the items, and I just have always wanted the items to change a little bit throughout the day. And now you can add a little bit of chaos 👹
Honestly my first thought was CHAOS! Im glad that was the plan.
Oh god. I already couldn't afford anything in the recycle shop. Now I'll have other people to thank for it being even more expensive? This is only a recipe for frustration and anger.
Or you could look at it as an opportunity for items that you have stocked up on coming up more frequently?
I love the new look. I gave up on recycling before only because I was too lazy to check if I had any of the items. Now as long as I actually remember to check I'm more likely to recycle since it tells me I have the things.
Recycle Beast item rotating finally got fixed! I'm so happy!
With this update, I'm sure that the Recycle Beast will be busier for a few days, until the Site Update / News Post slides from the page, so it'll go back to being mostly ignored by most users & will easier to earn RBP in a couple weeks. haha
However, this is the kind of change that I like to see. Less of needing to be on the site at a specific time, more flexibility & reasons to check throughout the day. It also appears to be a fair system with more opportunities for players to buy items & recycle them. Before, the Recycle Beast would only update his requested items once a day & always at a set time (7 pm or 8 pm, depending on daylight savings). Many days, I would check much later after his requests changed over & he would still be asking for items that were cheaper in the User Shops than the conversion for buying RBP outright at the Smelter option (currently 8k - 10k sP per RBP).
Now? The Recycle Beast asks for more items in total every day, increasing the possibility of items players already have in their Vault being requested & I love how he can access items directly from Vaults now too, very useful! While he still has 25 slots, some slots change out in as little as every 2 hours while others stay around longer for 7 ~ 8 hours.
The Shuffle option sounds interesting too. If someone comes by & purchases all of the User Shop items up to 8k+? We can wait for a few hours for some items to swap out normally or we can bribe the Recycle Beast to ask for a fresh bunch of items, instead of having to wait an entire day for his requests to change over one time on schedule. Or, if one player is trying to speedrun 30,000 RBP for Ametsuchi? They have an option to only Shuffle a few times before the amount goes up too high for it to be worth it to them & there's a cooldown too. This will hopefully affect fewer other players, instead of every item being purchased up shortly after its daily changeover for multiple days in a row, as has happened in the past. We'll see what happens, I'm happy about it.
Subeta just keeps getting better and better.
Is there a limit to how often it can get refreshed? Like, if I refresh and get an item I have stocked up, do I have to panic about someone else refreshing again while I get the items out of my vault?
oooooh I like it :)
