The Recycle beast is on my list of dailies and I've noticed that he seems to ask for less than 20 items more often than not. I checked the FAQ and he's supposed to ask for 20 items daily, not a random number between 15 and 20.

I haven't started keeping exact count until 3 days ago, but now that I've started counting for the past 3 days, he's only asked for 20 items once.

[edit] Going to keep the list up to date because I have nothing better to do. No longer keeping it up to date, found something better to do. :')

The formatting also keeps switching between the old and new version, which is possibly the cause of the problem.

There are probably not enough items that meet all the criterias, such as price (5k?) and the quantity of items available on shop search.

Yyyeah, looking at Subeta's economy and somehow... I'm not fully sold that this is the reason for the Beast bugging out. :'D

A whole ton of items are always special rarity or games prizes, and most of them aren't exactly dirt cheap.

But then, seeing that there are certain game prizes like shards still around, I wouldn't be surprised if the RB f'd up D:

@ Rocketlauncher Beast tends to pick roughly half and half of restockables and special-rarity items, if memory serves and there's still buckets of special-rarity stuff that's under 10k in shops. Quentin takes some special-rarity stuff out of the system, yup, but more often than not ends up paying out with them too. So I think the ol' Beast is just having memory problems with how many things he's supposed to be asking for. ;P

[edit] Just checked today, Sept 18th and... The Beast is asking for 21 items. Um. Beast, you are very bad at counting, pls hire Cinthia to double-check your math for you.

Sept 17 news post:

Any more updates on this? The RB is asking for r170 expected, although it doesn't seem to be checking if they are affordable or not. [item2=Bringing The Harbinger] [item2=Squishy Brain Eater Plushie]

Sorry for being a nag, but I'm wondering if the change to 21 items was intentional?

It's the second day I've seen the Beast ask for 21 items and I definitely prefer this over the mass of days he's asked for 14-19 items.

- Are we allowed to know what the requirements are?

Nope! We're not going to give you the specifics of like what range of sP it asks for because its' something we might tweak at any time.

Woot! I hope the code keeps picking 20-21 items, in that case. I'm assuming the number was lower before and that's why it was having issues?

- Fair-dos, thank you ^_^
