I thought both Admin and Users alike would find this interesting to read. Especially with all the revamps going on lately.
I randomly decided to make notes whilst doing my Pete Quests today. I currently have a GA so had 40 quests available. I completed 29 out of the 40 using 15k as a cap. Where I could restock an item priced over 15k in usershops, I did, but not if users had them priced at over 20k. This was because I felt that restocking something worth over 20k for Pete would work out as a loss and that I'd be better of selling the item. In terms of actual sP, I actually lost 16,604. In terms of the items given out though, in total, they were worth 176,938. Out of 29 items, this how the rarity stacked up: 6 Mundane; 4 Really Common; 15 Common; 3 Normal; 1 Rare.
Small sample size, imo.
29 quests is not enough to make a conclusion out of anything
I love Pete's quests, personally. I set a limit of 5k for common and below items. 10k for normal and then 15k for rare (and if it is a cheap super rare under 25k I will buy it). You will lose money if you spend 15k each time, you just have to readjust how you do his quests.
