I thought Ian always asks for ornaments? And hopefully items he asked for drop down overtime... :D

i hear you on hoping the items drop.... Yesterday I was only able to complete 2/10 of the quests. i had to quit the rest because an item was unbuyable or 100k+. I just can't justify spending that much cash money when I know i'll only get about 20k back each time.

In the beginning he only asked for ornaments, but that was causing items to become overpriced/unavailable, so they widened the pool. Except that now all those items are becoming overpriced and/or unavailable.

Ahh yea I see... I'm only doing it for the achievement haha..

The only reason to do the quests is for the achievement, I dont think its supposed to be profitable

I think they've retooled it now-- I only had to quit 4 of the 15 for asking for items over 100k, and I actually MADE 250k plus all the crystals. Most of the items he asked for were available in actual shops, not just user shops.

So if you've been avoiding doing it like me, might want to give it another shot!

Hmm, may have to give it another go later on then. I was avoiding it like the plague especially considering the tier prizes weren't anything I wanted. Thanks for the update.
