Right....so in other words...keep on buying globes, which are $5 each, until you have 32 vouchers...just to spend them to buy a game artefact.
Seriously I have 0 incentive to even partake in this Promo anymore. Tried 20, laughed my ass off, not doing more. It always annoys me how horrible the turnout of Promos in Achaea is compared to all the other IRE. Just pure painful when compared.
Which is fine really, it's gambling for a reason.
I do think it would be neat if we were able to get like one globe per 100 or 200 credits bought so those who want to buy credits to do things with still also got to play on a much smaller scale.
But that's just me. I had fun
It's a gamble, sometimes you get rubbish things in your globes.. sometimes you don't. Numbers are your friends, I can open 10 globes and win the mask (yay, love the mask) or I can open 50 globes and get enough lucky to sink the unluckiest ship in the world (anyone want to buy like.. 600 sips of lucky?) and that's why I like them, it's a gamble, and it can sometimes go awesomely, and sometimes make you totally regret buying them.
If you want a sure thing, then find someone like me who will give you a bunch of guaranteed credits in return for you buying them globes, more credits than you would get for the same rl cash. If you want to risk it all, open the globes and smile, and grumble when you get junk but open some more.
Yes, I have 60 off boxes of parts and 600 sips of lucky, but I have had a lot of fun and seeing as I started off with 500 credits.. I've come out ahead.
If it's not for you, then don't do it.
I got a solid couple thousand credits worth of items for way way cheaper than if I was buying them straight.

I'm not even sure how much the box will sale for, probably not much?
To make it worse, not five seconds later:
The special globe prize has been claimed!
I'm not even sure what to call this emotion.

A crate can give you: Upgrade credits - Cache - Artefact discount (25 cr) - Lucky sips - Death talismans - Animal Crate - Cart Crate - 10 to 25 credits (?) - Artefact.
There is also on those rare occassions for that special award, which only happens every 50 globes purchased.
The way a market works is supply and demand. Currently, there is a surplus of items, items players thought they could sell to make some actual credits, rather than have to keep some random pet or wooden carts. With the large amount of items available, the price has staggeringly dropped to be not even worth it.
With that said, let's look at these awards.
Upgrade Credits: Only for upgrade, require you to have an artefact that you want upgrading. A 'must pay more' marketting concept.
Artefact discount: 25 credits to buy a game artefact, must have multiple to try and get something for free. May be used with a purchase to cover some of the cost. Also a 'must pay more' marketing concept.
Lucky sips: Once of value, now available in scads. No longer of much market value.
Crate of wood parts: Makes a cart that you can sell things from. Temporary, lasts 7 days. People are walking around with 20+ of these, and those are the people that dont even care for them, let alone merchants.
Cache: Used to make random talisman pieces. Chance to get lucky and get a rare piece, bigger chance not to. Even -if- you got a rare piece, with the surplus of death pieces that drowned the market, the value of said rare piece is much lower. The same can be said for other pieces.
Crate: Perhaps once of value, now barely even that. People have animals they are trying to just get rid of. Open up those farms.
Death Talisman pieces: Check Cache
Credits: A globe is considered $5 in purchase, which is 10 credits. It is however considered 25 credits in game trade. So either spend actual cash and make a possible difference or take a huge gamble and see what you get (likely nothing at this point).
Artefact: The lowest chance to get. If you get this, then well done! Dont count on it though. The artefact is roughly in the 300-500 range.
So, of all these, at this point if you want to make a real profit you'll need the Artefact, which is the lowest percent chance.
Robes of the Grand magi pls

Winning.
ETA: Forgot Artefact vial and pack. Which are nice.
