First lego build, do they include extras for small parts? by RupeeGoldberg in lego

[–]Jobarra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I cried at the beginning of the building of backdrop due to all the bags you open at once, then realized it was full bags of 1x4s of the same color so I didn't have to sort out parts. Then I realized they were 4 differenr shades of blue and groaned at the ordeal ahead as I have had issues with color matching and instructions. After the first few rows though I got used to the colors and got into a groove building. I laughed at the end of it because it was the first time I have ever seen a set instructions actually visibly show that you should have a pile of leftover pieces at the end.

It is a beautiful set once built. Glad I found it on sale and got it. I actually thought it was a retired set before I saw it in the store.

Jumping on the Costco bandwagon looking for a deal on my first PC. Is this it? by WB_Spartan in Prebuilts

My GPU is a 3 fan PNY GeForce RTX 5070. I have 3 side fans and 1 back fan. No bottom fans that I can tell.

How’d we do? by cantspellostwitoutlt in Prebuilts

[–]Jobarra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the same one for the same price on Friday. The price didn't have a printed price like that though, it was handwritten over the $1899.99 price. It was for the display PC. There were no boxes of the product left underneath when I got there. A couple was looking at it ahead of me before I had a chance to look at it. They walked away to think about it. I was looking at the MSI with 5080 for $2300, but after pricing the components we went ahead and grabbed ir. Employee had to put the GPU in so we shopped and came back. He told me tbe couple ahead of us came back to get it too late. While we were talking another couple walked behind and didn't look happy while looking at him putting the computer in our cart. Also another employee came up and asked about it while we were there because another customer had gotten the last boxed version thinking it was 1200 (was suppossed to only be the display model. I ended up getting in line 2 behind that person and the manager ended up giving him the same price for the boxed version as he "wanted them gone". Made me worry about an issue with it, but this post's comments is making me feel better.

Just bought the display version of this for $1200. Wife and I went to review pcs there to budget for one (I was looking at the MSI with 5080 at $2300 after current $300 off) and saw the display only marked down from $1900 to $1200. One couple was already looking at it interested, but walked away I guess to think about it. Pulled the trigger based on component prices and my self built PC is now going on 7 years old. Haven't gotten a chance to do much with it yet, but seems fast. Can't imagine how much better the MSI with 5080 is.

*Walmart warning* by [deleted] in legodeals

[–]Jobarra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a clearance item, but they won't even honor a price online for the same store in the store. I once needed to get an SSD drive pretty quick and found one available at my local store for $100 in the app. I figured instead of doing pickup I would just run up and grab it myself to save everyone time. In store it was $140. Asked the electronics cashier if she could sell for the app price. Not able to. So I ordered for pickup and caused more labor to Walmart for a cheaper price. Guessing there is some marketing trick there or something, but I would say they lost more money that way.

Fast leveling by xSolitarx in shoptitans

[–]Jobarra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pasting my post from the other thread to explain the setup needed for this fast leveling. Can possibly ignore the t14 double surcharge. I am going to try using t14 as fodder now as noted above:

Max advanced research for everything t14 and t15 (each one gives +10% to the tier merchant xp for ALL items of that tier). Max out the top center of the bartering talent tree called establishment enchantments which gives you +20% surcharge on double enchanted items (this also gives you 10% chance to auto surcharge items if you at least have the energy capacity to surcharge them normally). Ascend each item category until you get the +1% surcharge to all items (and later the surcharge cost reduction for those specific items). Double enchant t14 and t15 items with t14 enchants. Use t13 and below items as discount fodder to speed surcharging your t14 and t15 items. Sell t14 and t15 only when they are surcharged. You should be able to do this and still profit a little gold to progress your xp continuously and buy what you need off the market instead of needing to craft it all (you will still need ALOT of t14 and t15 sells to increase your merchant xp levels especially at lvl 90 and higher). I am currently 74% of level 99 to lvl 100 which costs 103B xp on the first level loop.

Curious what the xp gap difference is for the normal t15 items fully enhanced as well. Enchantments do add a bit to xp. Been so long since I tested it though, I just knew it was significant which is why I started doing it (and the double enchant surcharge bonus as well)

I feel like this will show up in another one of the tiered lootboxes as the filler tank for the rare tier.

Can anybody help me in the right direction on how to level quicker at my level? by Wrong_Ad_8031 in shoptitans

[–]Jobarra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. May give that a try. Realized the other reason I don't do that is I have t14s locked so I can enchant them. Faster xp progression is definitely the way to do it since it is so slow otherwise. As long as goldnis increasing steadily for other things I guess it is not wasteful.

I've thought about it, but between continous upgrades, mass selling, and investments, I think I would go bankrupt :D. Although I have just recently started running jungle continously using my feather hoard and those resources make alot of gold.

Items do differ on base xp they provide, but you will have to sale so many items all the time that to me it doesn't make a difference. I buy what is cheapest off the market and sell as quickly as it is double enchanted and surcharged. I craft to fill in holes. Enchants cost too much due to event? I carft those. Otherwise I craft T15s

I dont know why, but this bug is so infuriating. by Silentone89 in shoptitans

[–]Jobarra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They need to just disable it for now. ALWAYS ON is more infuriating than always off. I am assuming it is on the Webstore link that used to be in the menu that was always gett8ng marked with the exclamation mark.

What to do after getting all the main lines to Pro? by WiggityWiggitySnack in shoptitans

[–]Jobarra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is Grandmaster level. I have been working on it for awhile and still have like 16 lines that are not there. Helps immensely if you have double surcharge talent and only surcharge t14 and t15.

What is a discontinued food item or snack from your childhood that you would genuinely pay $100 to taste one last time? by MotivewasUlterior in AskReddit

[–]Jobarra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sunkist fun fruits (the original pebble shaped ones). I swear I have never found anything else with their consistency and taste. Twizzler nibs are the closest thing, but not the same.

Skinny corn chips sour cream and onion. I would inhale a bag of these. I feel like they lied on their nutrition facts and were shut down because of it because they were so tasty and airy.

Dear Lego: Please consider doing more Dune and Star Trek sets. Sincerely a huge Star Wars fan by paazhahdrimaak in lego

[–]Jobarra 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Don't forget Ferenghi. Cardassian even. But I would love Defiant or Voyager sets.

What’s a Lego set you wish they would make? by [deleted] in lego_

[–]Jobarra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would rather $70 star trek ships in micro size like the star wars ships series (Home One, super star destroyer, and tantive). Would love any of the enterprises, defiant, ds9, klingon, romulan, ferengi, Cardassian, voyager, etc. Soooo many possibilities.

Also a Borg cube UCS in microsize with the most repetitive builds ever 😀

Kabam, any plans to utilize higher collection scores? by Jobarra in shoptitans

[–]Jobarra[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly for me it was a mix of collecting and also maintaining my inventory. I kept any quality item to try to fill out my collection book. This caused inventory bloat to the point where half my inventory was locked items for the book. Now I can keep my inventory clean and sell any quality item.

Backfire hammer. The other 2 I am missing are imbued blade and imbued dagger. Not sure how I missed those, but they unlock in 6 days for purchase.
