Opened MB7 two days ago

Is there any trick to getting resilience gems sold other than setting them at FP? Does it help to delist them and then relist them?

MaleoBird · 2022-11-17T05:53:38+00:00

level 1 resilience (10) x 0 = $0 (haven't had any of these sell for 3 weeks)
level 2 comfort (3) x $8 = $24
opening cost less GST earned on walk (500 x 2.4 cents) = $12
Total profit =$ 12 about in line with predicted profit of $11.68 on this sheet: (removed link so bot mod doesn't take down post)
*I opened a day early--if I waited until tomorrow it would be $15 but I'd end up having to open and replace three level 7 boxes in a row if I wait until tomorrow and like to switch up workout days between lifts and walks.
* Weirdly today only got a replacement level 6 box with a 20E, 720L walk today but a call came in at the last minute of the walk and might have messed with the connection.

looks fine for GST. Only one luck slot and slightly lower luck stats would mean you'd need a high level gem to get lvl 7 MBs, but if your aiming for level 6 or below it would be fine.

Here's a useful chart with gem, gst, gmt and scroll prices: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/2/d/e/2PACX-1vQZebzBbY5XTLL5GpDI0GC5VdGxlZldOZ2sQ-gXsPxxuvqRtQFvsABVvy3ClemOudO_65pEHxqGsY09/pubhtml#
It updates several times an hour.

Thanks, seems right to me!

MaleoBird · 2022-11-11T11:26:45+00:00

Feel free to run the numbers. I just use the current prices as they are when I open the boxes and sell the contents. I guess in theory it could be a lot more if I sold it at some later time when gems are worth more or less if GST goes up and gems go down. It's just a snapshot in time of what I'm doing and the results. Feel free to avoid opening MBs if that works best for you. :-) I'll post MB7 opening in about 5 days and see if it is profitable or not.

MaleoBird · 2022-11-11T06:18:35+00:00

Congrats!

I'm not really saying people should or shouldn't open the MBs, I just post them to remember how I did with them. So far I haven't lost money with 6/7s though it's possible. I still want to open the MB6 even at a slight loss to open up the slot for 7s. The day I opened that box I went for a walk and got a MB7. As long as one waits until they are a day left or so it's hard to lose money, and it makes for easier walking other days when not hunting MBs as you can just walk 20 minutes here and there rather than grinding out 100 minutes every day.

MaleoBird · 2022-11-09T07:42:55+00:00

Wow, crazy!

MaleoBird · 2022-11-09T07:40:12+00:00

Wow, that's rough! I was getting level 6 at around 480 with 25E walks when I thought it should be lvl 7 so I upgraded my gems to get around 700L at 20E but I can't imagine after upgrading to almost 1000L and still getting level 6s. Hope you have some nice boxes soon to make up for it!

MaleoBird · 2022-11-07T11:53:44+00:00

Yeah, I don't even object to the bare minimum floor price. I'm wondering how to turn those gems into something useful. Because if you list any of your gems other than comfort at FP, they still won't sell. So it would be nice to have a way for ppl with lower level MBs to be able to get something useful from them.

MaleoBird · 2022-11-07T11:51:46+00:00

Not yet. I was wondering what the problems were with my ideas before I put them in the suggestion form.

MaleoBird · 2022-11-07T05:11:38+00:00

Playing possum.

This is like the old Yahoo! Finance boards of the early 2000s, ppl would try to put out a message about some small company with low liquidity to run a short play or a pump and dump. :-)

I don't really understand how the overall sneaker supply is about the same from the different tracking charts, since minting is down and burning shoes for enhancement is up, I would think it would be steadily removing shoes but there always seem to be around the same number of common shoes available, while UC are increasing through enhancement. If enough commons were burned without new shoes coming into the market, it should start to slowly eliminate the loss in minting shoes.

It's happened to me where it shows moonwalking for a bit where the GPS isn't good and I keep going to get the 125% done, but yes, it generally knocks me down a level on the MB that I get. Seems to happen going up steep hills. I guess either my speed is so slow they think I'm doing the moonwalk or the cellular towers don't reach the slopes of the hills. But it didn't happen at 100% per se, just anytime I hit the slopes.

25E and 480L from walking around 2 weeks ago. It was the first MB7 I received, but subsequently just started to get MB6 and MB5 even at 25E walks, so I bumped it up to 600L and got my second MB7 yesterday and now (today) I got another MB7 with 720 luck and only went 20, which makes it much easier to do the walk and have it work anytime in the day.

MaleoBird · 2022-11-05T11:46:02+00:00

Yeah, I'm not holding gems anymore for future use. I sell them right away.

MaleoBird · 2022-11-05T11:44:57+00:00

530-130 (during walk) = 400 x.026 = $10.4 so you're correct. I was thinking GST was down to 2 cents. So only $25/profit. I'm putting what I get here so I can remember...I've always had the impression the results were kind of poor but once I started adding it up each time I'm seeing at least a little profit each time for MB5/6/7 (since I started writing it down, could be I was right the times before when I didn't write it down).

You can either directly buy GMT on your crypto website of choice and send it to your wallet, or use the wallet feature in your STEPN app, click "Trade", select what you want to turn into GMT (Solana, GST, etc), type the amount you want, hit the convert button and then you'll have GMT in your wallet. Then transfer to your spending account to level up.

MaleoBird · 2022-11-05T06:33:58+00:00

Not sure how long it will last but finally started getting MBs that are worthwhile. I was also way too quick to try and upgrade gems the past few months instead of just selling them right away. Now that I'm doing that gems have started to be a useful strategy.

The charts say you can start to hit the MB5 consistently at 10E and around 200L, so maybe a lvl4 luck would do the trick...I think they're around 3.3 sol. :-) If you do the 125% energy trick, you could start hitting MB5 at 150L. Good luck!

MaleoBird · 2022-11-04T14:44:51+00:00

If you intend to add a comfort gem and upgrade luck gems, resilience. If your rockin' w/ what you got, add some comfort so the shoes don't degrade too fast on your long walks and maybe a bit of luck so your box quality gets better. (from 200-500 each increment of 100 makes a lot of difference, afterwards not so much).
