Has Saggitarius gotten EXTREMELY cheap lately? Or do I just have horrendous luck with him?

He's usually my big source of income, quest wise, but lately I've been having ridiculously terrible luck even breaking even on his quests lately (and no, it's not that I don't know when to quit a quest that will obviously make me spend more than what I will get back, ) I'm used to his pattern of around 50-80k for low rarity/cheap items, ie crap that's ~3k in shops at most, averaging at around 100k + in return on an average quest, 200-300k on rare items or if he was just feeling generous because there have been times where ive spent less than 30k and gotten like 250k back. I usually set my "don't spend more than this" limit at 100k for him and it's always worked but ever since Vesnali started I have noticed a really steady decline in how much he's willing to give me, and how much I'm willing to spend due to this pattern decreasing and is quite frankly discouraging from quests all together for me.

His pattern of what he asks for hasn't changed as far as I'm aware, but what he rewards me with in return has, and for me it's literally been pocket change for him. I've seen maybe a handful of over 100k rewards from him in the past WEEK but I've had to quit so many quests because they were either too expensive normally, or made me question whether or not I'd break even on it, even if the total of the few items he's given me didn't go past 50k. In the last quest I did before making this topic he gave me a little over 25k.

25,000 sp and ooh a quest point. big whoop. man thats such a lowball even for him for two cheap items?? and I've gotten as low as 34k on him for two cheap items before when I could actually do ALL of his quests daily?? That's basically the average reward from a regular quest, and from the looks and feel of it, that's where his rewards seem to be headed since he's been dishing out now 25k- 85k on average and I have to quit at least half his quests because I'm afraid I won't even break even on them or they're too expensive, especially when I'm used to say 100-200k on average from him with quitting 1-3 quests if they were too expensive.

Did his rewards get tweaked? is anyone else having this problem with him? or am I just really unfortunate with his rewards lately?

He has his moments. My usual is 50k per item, so 200k total for 4 items. Sometimes I'll get back 300k+ and sometimes I'll get back half of what I spent. I pretty much always walk away from him with atleast a 750k profit. I also have a GA, so I get 5 more quests.

don't go higher than 50k an item, he seems to be stingy lately for suuurree!

I've noticed this too -- recently I did a four-item quest and got 20 000 sP. If he was a real person I probably would've clocked him.

I've noticed a decrease in his rewards and have had to cut back on my budget for his quests to be sure that I'll earn something. That means lots of skipping. :(

glad it's not just me getting short changed. and thats more for a comfort that hey saggi doesnt just have a vendetta against me because hes where i earn like 90% of my income on subeta and hes noticed. bah. i haven't even bothered with his quests at all in a few days because i just really don't want to bother with losing out on most of what I put in unless the total costs 50k at most (and even then theres that fear he'll be a dbag and hand me something like a standard low quest turn out- stares at that 25k he thought would be appropriate to reward me with. ) or just skip most of the quests he hands me all because he's feeling exceptionally greedy lately :s i hope he stops being a greedy greg soon and give us what we deserve/are used to for doing his quests. :( [edit] we must be having some really terrible luck then if him asking for items that are in his usual range of 100k at most for what I'm willing to spend yields around half that if not less. ill try his quests today with less apprehension and see if its any better luck then.

Sometimes he's stingy, but other times he's bizarrely generous. One time, when he was the weekend quest, he gave me nearly 1 mil for a single quest!
