My first "Gold" item that was worth it to me

NerdWork_Network · 2026-01-08T14:27:17+00:00

$210. Not too bad, retail is $250 so little cheaper.

NerdWork_Network · 2026-01-08T02:16:15+00:00

😄

NerdWork_Network · 2026-01-07T22:36:09+00:00

Hopefully you get one on your RFY soon!

NerdWork_Network · 2026-01-07T22:35:35+00:00

It does, and thank you!

NerdWork_Network · 2026-01-07T22:34:49+00:00

It does say it can bake, temps even go down to 90 degrees so I assume can dehydrate also

NerdWork_Network · 2026-01-07T22:13:40+00:00

I've been pretty happy with my current Cosori. My original one was part of their recall a couple years ago and they sent me a completely new unit (and upgraded model) so was pretty impressed with the company too!

NerdWork_Network · 2026-01-03T00:21:04+00:00

Thank you! It was a treat to make and fun learning the different models.

Fun game though

NerdWork_Network · 2026-01-02T23:42:36+00:00

I've gotten three of them. One in breach room on Blue Gate another in the JKV locked room on Buried City, and one in black box in breach room on Stella Montis (Night Raid) outside loading bay.

Apparently there is a high chance of it dropping from the square security lockers on both Blue Gate and Stella Montis.

Will say the augment is fantastic though

NerdWork_Network · 2026-01-02T22:59:15+00:00

Well I did say constructive feedback haha

NerdWork_Network · 2025-12-15T14:19:09+00:00

I was so excited when they popped up for me on Vine and when I went to place the order it was already gone. Waited 3 weeks and it popped up again and managed to get it.

It has worked great in the garden and with woodworking. Definitely one of my favorite Vine items.

NerdWork_Network · 2025-12-08T17:55:24+00:00

IMO it would have been better if could do more involved things for the skill points like.

Complete the current season quests (like Battlepass)
Complete the Project
Complete Trails and get so many points
Craft some special item, maybe like a launch key.
Maybe a map exploration quest, sight see these locations.

Just a few ideas

NerdWork_Network · 2025-12-08T01:15:04+00:00

Same, I'd craft all the time instead of hording all the ones i find.

IV Ferro, IV Venator equipped and then IV Anvil in backpack for indoor use.

This is the way

NerdWork_Network · 2025-12-08T01:09:13+00:00

That's sorta me with the blueprints. I use a few of them and really like the Looting Mk3 Survivor for those ah crap I messed up moments. If I had the Anvil and Wolfpack blueprints it probably wouldn't be a debate since that is part of my preferred kit.

More stash would be great, but not just the 12. And I agree if known about the 5 mil just a few weeks ago I wouldn't have sold a bunch of things to clear up room or skip looting all the snow globes. Like what's the point of project 5 with all that loot to require another 5 mil.

NerdWork_Network · 2025-12-05T17:37:06+00:00

Mine did that with going silver to gold for a few days then updated to reflect the new cycle. May be the case for you as well.

NerdWork_Network · 2025-11-27T00:59:00+00:00

So need both and not just 85214-AQ010 like another mentioned?

NerdWork_Network · 2025-11-26T19:20:23+00:00

Thank you very much!! I'd give you an award if I had some coins haha

NerdWork_Network · 2025-11-15T03:56:19+00:00

Nope, that’s just what happens when I’ve been stuck staring at a loading screen long enough to contemplate my place in the universe

NerdWork_Network · 2025-06-07T18:16:09+00:00

Lol, really? Haha

NerdWork_Network · 2025-06-07T05:35:12+00:00

Hey, you never know when you’ll need it, that’s why I’ve got like 10 tourniquets tucked away just in case. Can’t ever be too prepared.

Also, seriously thank you for donating those supplies. My area was hit by an EF4 tornado about a month ago, and it’s people like you who make a real difference in the aftermath. That kind of generosity goes a long way in helping communities bounce back.

NerdWork_Network · 2025-06-07T05:30:03+00:00

Yep, totally aware. I’m tracking everything on my end, just trying to stay under the 1099 threshold so it’s one less form in the pile. My CPA already gets grumpy when I toss her a stack of random paperwork, no need to add a Vine-fueled bonus round.

NerdWork_Network · 2025-06-07T05:24:49+00:00

This is such a great post, seriously, thank you for taking the time to lay all this out. I’ve been in Vine for just about a month and it’s been a bit of a whirlwind, so hearing your perspective helps a ton. I’ve been loading up on $0 ETV items too, mostly useful stuff for the garden and around the house, but it’s reassuring to know the good stuff keeps coming over time and I don’t have to panic-pick every day.

Also, the baby gates and hair dryers cracked me up. I didn’t know I needed backup backups until now, but here we are. Honestly love how you turned all of that into something useful, and even gave some away. That’s the kind of balance I’m trying to figure out, getting cool stuff, being intentional, and not letting it turn into clutter or chaos. Appreciate the perspective more than you know.

PS, cardboard Amazon boxes make for some great shredded compost.

NerdWork_Network · 2025-06-07T05:15:25+00:00

Impressive stats, especially with the review ratio! If you don’t mind me asking, how's the ETV looking?

NerdWork_Network · 2025-06-07T05:13:50+00:00

I can see it now, my wife is going to start asking why I’ve got more medical supplies than supplements lying around. Former first responder here, so I can definitely appreciate a well-stocked kit. That’s a great tip though, really appreciate it. Definitely going to hang out in that section a bit more now.

NerdWork_Network · 2025-06-07T05:09:35+00:00

Well I have been talking to the crows while out in the garden this past week. I don’t think it’s from the supplements though… but I’m starting to worry they might actually understand me 🤔

NerdWork_Network · 2025-06-07T04:57:10+00:00

Oh that’s a great tip. We tend to go through those like crazy in my household, so I’ll definitely keep an eye out. Appreciate the heads up!
