I'm so over this prize pool. I've now spent 70k rerolling, and I wasn't being remotely greedy. A worthless weapon rated a 1, the world's most hideous petpet (besides the chewed gum looking ones), and a blobby plushie. Now it's stuck on a toy that used to be 11k but has an inflation notice (current price is 70k and falling). Yes, I'll be rerolling again in the next couple days once I've gathered NP from dailies, but ugh! The chances of getting absolute trash that no one wants are so high. So many of the daily prizes are better than the weekly ones.
I had wanted to go ahead and buy the rest of the beads I don't have before they (hopefully) get removed, but now I'll have to dig into my savings to do so. Red codestones have jumped in price since they announced the hiatus. I've been using my excess NP each day to stock up on those, and so I have thirty+ of each, but that's only a 36-day supply, if even (because the ninjas really like to ask for certain ones over others -- always the one you don't have).
Have they said how long the hiatus will be?
I really hope they change the prize pool October 1st so that we only have one more week of this one. Having to refresh so much without those daily battling NP is going to hurt. (And I don't have the time to battle the regular opponents to the max. I wish they'd let you customize your own battle rounds so you automatically flow through the opponents without all the excess clicks.)
Edit: spent another 80k and landed on a cutout violin. JN says it's worth 260k (so maybe half that?)... So theoretically I could hopefully nearly break even if I stop now.
@Pickles, do you have that instrument for your collection yet? If I can add to your collection, it'd be worth it.
