What happened to APQ?

@ OT: More people are realizing that APQ is a waste of time compared to hunting for time pieces if you can do it. Apples are fairly rare, and can't compare to PoT money gain.

And this is the reason that Onyx Apples have inflated in every server. People have started relying on PoT for money instead of apples, so they have become rare, causing everyone to want them. I'd suggest you just ask friends.
