500k Quest Runs
7 years, 7 months & 13 days ago
12th Apr 2017 03:39 So nearly a year ago I decided to do my own log of quest runs where you set aside a certain amount and just do the same quest over and over to get an idea of profitability. However, back then I didn't have much in the way of marapoints, at least not to gamble as heavily with, however I have nearly 20 mil now so I figured why not revisit this and go bigger with 500 per run. I was going to do 1mil but as I was going thorugh the first one, I realized that would probably en up taking about an hour or more. Anyway I'll just be going in order and the rules will be outlined below, and below that will be results.
1. You can only spend a total of 500k over the course of one quest type. If you only have 13k left but the quest is asking for 20k worth of the items, the run is over.
2. You cannot skip/wait out quests. You must do them one after another until the 500k (or as close as possible) limit has been reached.
3. DOCUMENT! Write down everything, how much each item costs, how much you get, what extra prizes you get if any and their current value on SS or trades. You don't necessarily have to include all of the details in the blog post (if you choose to blog about it), but keep track of it somewhere.
Quest Run Logs:
Borak's Brew-
Starting # of quests: 84
Ending # of quests: 184
# of quests completed: 100
Total amount spent: 497,253
Total amount of MP earned: 564,041
Items won: chopping board x2, plastic tongs x2, spatula, mortar x5, ladle, frying pan x2, boraks brew game x2, spoon x4, pot, tongs, kitchen knife, plastic spatula x4, rubber spatula x3, small kitchen knife, fork, plastic spoon x2, wooden spoon x2, small pan x3, measuring cup x2
Average winnings per quest (this includes value of items): 6,484
TOTAL AMOUNT EARNED (including MP value of items): 648,402
Profitability: +64,041
Personal Recommendation: I do think this is a good quest, although not GREAT. I recommend not spending more than 5k per items to make a decent profit. On another note seeing as the value of these utensils you can win has dropped greatly, for the majority of them, they're worth nearly nothing.
Candy Tree-
Starting # of quests: 134
Ending # of quests: 208
# of quests completed: 74
Total amount spent: 492,521
Total amount of MP earned: 380,632
Items won: Grape Gummy Leg, Lime Gummy Hand, Candy Purple Grapes
Average winnings per quest (this includes value of items): 7,473
TOTAL AMOUNT EARNED (including MP value of items): 553,016
Profitability: +53,016
Personal Recommendation: Honestly, I used to love this quest but with the price on most candy being higher it really just isn't worth it. Yes the profitability was in the positive but that is purely due to the three items I received and assuming they sell for the value in SS. Without those items, it would be in the negative. My suggestion is to use this quest lightly, absolutely DO NOT spend more than 5k total per quest here.
