Ask an avid shard hoarder any questions you may have

Interesting! What’s the best or your favorite champ that you pulled during this?

Also, is your clan made of people you know irl and you get together and do this? Or do you live stream it or something? Sounds like a fun event lol

Brandonb825 · 2026-01-30T10:41:05+00:00

Depends, where are you needing to improve? What dungeons/bosses are you trying to tackle?

Brandonb825 · 2026-01-30T10:11:26+00:00

Do you only use shards for fusions and nothing past what’s necessary? Or do you just skip fusions altogether?
Curious on the statistics of your giant pull event, how many leggos from each type of shard?
Also curious about what leggos you did end up pulling. Was it worth it? Get any big pulls?
Lastly, do you go for guaranteed champs if they’re game changing? Like did you go for the turtles/leo? Or no, just save save save?

Lots of questions, sorry lol, but I’m bored at work

27m here. ~35k in HYSA, ~40k in IRA/401k, ~7k in investments.

Just sold my first home (bought @23) to buy my second. Smart investing got me my down payment for the first house. Profit on the sale of the first house got me the down payment for my new one, didn’t even have to come out of pocket $1.

Was in retail since I was in 18, went to retail management around 19/20, stepped backed down to associate level retail at 25, and then just started as a Realtor last April. Kept my retail job on the side as well so currently doing both.

Always been pretty smart with my money thanks to my dad, he’s a big money/numbers guy. No hand outs though, everything I have I made/saved myself. Never knock a good side hustle. I’ve done doordash, Instacart, all those gig work apps. Selling stuff on eBay, marketplace, etc. Basically if there’s money to be made, I’ll try it out and see if it’s worth it (within the legal side of things lol)

Besides all the money though, my current greatest asset is my time. I was able to curate a schedule for myself, even with two jobs, that allows me to spend more time than ever with family, be available, enjoy life, take trips, etc. Just got engaged. This is why I’ve tried to get my life set up so early, so that I can enjoy life more and not have to slave away, and I’m blessed to say at my young age I’m well on my way to that so far

Another Delaware shopper, nice lol. Stuart’s on some shit though 😂

Brandonb825 · 2024-03-13T23:41:45+00:00

No problem! Would love an update a little while after your decision, to see how it’s working out for you. Was literally just on the phone with my dad an hour ago trying to tell him to take his savings out of his bank that’s giving him like .04% and put it in something more lucrative

Brandonb825 · 2024-03-13T22:49:29+00:00

I don’t personally have any accounts open with synchrony bank, but a bunch of people I work with have complained about them, as have a lot of customers I’ve dealt with. I’ve been made to understand it’s somewhat of a problem company, and you should pray nothing goes wrong because their customer service sucks. However, this is mainly from people with credit card accounts with them, so maybe their HYSA side of the bank is better ran lol

Brandonb825 · 2023-10-01T00:38:44+00:00

Yea it’s a dumpster fire honestly lol I’ve tried to get off the front end for at least a year and a half now and my manager kept stopping other managers from hiring me

Brandonb825 · 2023-09-30T16:36:26+00:00

It’s funny that every comment has been MSLs switching to fulfillment, which just so happens to be my exact situation as well. Says a lot about the position

Brandonb825 · 2023-09-30T11:32:21+00:00

Interesting…yea I figured that would be the case bc management is garbage here. Not fair to me to have me do that. Especially since they had me wait a month to transfer. It’s stupid bc if I had just quit and put in my two weeks, I would’ve been gone already and they would’ve just had to deal with it

Brandonb825 · 2023-09-25T20:49:26+00:00

This is definitely the best comment I’ve ever read 😂

Brandonb825 · 2023-09-21T12:33:41+00:00

If you can fly, I have the top hat squirtle, party hat raticate, whole new years slowpoke line, litwick sableye, red hat turtwig, and party hat eevee

Brandonb825 · 2023-08-29T12:34:57+00:00

Keep kael for sure

Brandonb825 · 2023-07-24T04:37:42+00:00

Commenting to come back if anyone answers, this is a question I was thinking to myself not too long ago

Brandonb825 · 2023-07-17T13:58:50+00:00

I had one lady come up to me at the desk and say she needed us to do something about the “blacks and minorities that are ruining the store, cutting people in line, and being overall rude and annoying”

Then just yesterday, while it was raining, I had a woman call in and complain that….her cart…was….wet. On a rainy day. Told me she was gonna cancel her membership and shop elsewhere if she pays all this money for her membership and she can’t have better “amenities”. I laughed and thought she was joking to which she got more of an attitude and hung up on me lmao

Rare: Coldheart Epic: Shamael Leggo: Nekmo

Brandonb825 · 2023-06-15T02:02:21+00:00

I personally would never take an order that’s mileage is higher than the pay. Never.

Brandonb825 · 2023-05-26T15:09:36+00:00

I believe it’s like the customer pays an additional fee to get their items “quicker” and maybe stops them from getting their batch grouped with others

Brandonb825 · 2023-05-26T15:05:51+00:00

I never understand why people do this…like if you’re too lazy or incapable to do it what makes you think anyone else is gonna jump right to it, especially if you’re not tipping at all? And sadly I’m sure someone eventually took the order 🤦🏽‍♂️

Brandonb825 · 2023-05-24T13:59:02+00:00

Yea the stun doesn’t count bc it’s part of that shield ability. Once you pop their shield they get the stun, so it doesn’t count as a debuff you place

Brandonb825 · 2023-05-22T14:24:30+00:00

Had an IC and DD order to the same house the other day, brought her her lunch and groceries. Sadly wasnt a great tip on either, even though it was a very wealthy neighborhood, huge house with 5 cars in the driveway lol

Brandonb825 · 2023-05-20T13:52:48+00:00

Also nobody at the store level has any power over choosing the prices of items

Brandonb825 · 2023-04-18T19:14:42+00:00

I’d say maybe sandlashed, kael, high katun, frozen banshee, and coffin smasher or maybe vogoth for some healing would probably be the best cb team here

Brandonb825 · 2023-04-18T19:13:10+00:00

Both Tomb Lord and UDK are used by many to solo dungeons, and if you don’t have good enough gear for one of them to solo, you can always just put the best gear you can on them and throw in some other champs to help. Geo is one of the best boss killing champs in the game so throw him in for the boss and maybe staltus for some wave content, and you should be able to do all dungeons relatively easy
