Did 4 runs for the hell of it. I tried to double up each round:
1st:
Red cube [doubled]
Tyrant Pirate Belt
Etc 4 slot expansion
2nd:
Onyx Apple [doubled]
Tyrant Thief Belt
Face Coupon [Reg]
3rd:
Gachapon Ticket x1
Gaurdian Scroll
Royal Face Coupon
4th:
Exp booster 150% [doubled]
Use Tab 4 slot expansion
Royal Hair coupon
This might be the first time where I got stuff each spin that was worth more than the spin itself. Usually get crap.
Anyone know if the 150% exp coupon stacks with the 2x coupon?

It's pretty funny seeing so many people freaking out about it and going to buy 100-200$ of nx for this.
People buying nx for 1:110+ here. A bit ridiculous. I heavily advise against this marvel.
Actually marvel is wonderful for many reasons, you always come out ahead, you just have to find a use for what you get.
All the root abyss and tyrants are merely bonuses.

Bull pomegranate. Plenty of worthless and shitty things in there that do not total to 4.9k nx. Forth row is mostly worthless Fearless/abyss equips, with a few scrolls and nx items. Second row is where the decent-good stuff are, with Tyrant and Terminus, and most of the other stuff is okay. But then you have to remember, they are not always the easiest to sell, and prices are not always the most stable. LAst row is decent with RA equips (not that they are worth much anymore), okay nx items, and B nebs. While it may seem great, chances are you don't get anything good in a single run or two in the long run. Sure, some people get lucky on one run, but for the most part, people have to do many to get anything they want, and you end up spending a lot more, and the stuff you got can't always cover your costs.

30 spins 3 of them tyrant, several gach tickets, always double marveled on extra slots since 8 slots cost like 6-8k nx.
If you roll a 4 slot, it pretty much pays itself, how much are 11 megas?
It pays itself.
I plan to roll more later too, just because it isnt worth it to you, doesn't mean it isnt worth it at all.
Compare with nexon standard prices.
I will concede the first row is mainly crap, which is why i double marvel whatever gach tickets and stuff.
However, if you get a 35 gach ticket one, that's quite a bit of money.
I mean hell, pretty much any cash item you double marvel is a win.
And lastly, obviously marvel machine is pomegranate if you are specifically trying to get something. That's why you roll it to roll it, never gamble and expect something, then you will be disappointed.
Mabinogi had something like this too.
I guess people only care about the meso value of the items and not the NX value itself...
*shrugs*.
I already made my immediate money, and anyone who tries to rapidly sell anything they get at this point... Well, that's their problem.
TL;DR. Purchase every individual item with nx, you come out ahead, not everyone can afford to purchase everything with mesos.
Edit: Sorry for the mishmash, i tend to lose focus when i type on my phone so my point becomes less clear, also sorry for not clarifying what i meant by my definition of "value"

I've never tried Marvel in the past, but decided to try 3 spins. I wasn't expecting tyrants or fafnirs, just wanted to see what I could get. Very disappointed...
No clue what to do with an All stars hair coupon, and Nero's Purrfect Palace shop (250m for a bonus potential slot carver? :f6: )
Only things I dug, were a 5 star EE and a CoG, both untradable.
I can live with getting disappointing results while gambling... I actually expect them.
What ticked me off, was how buggy the Marvel page was. My first spin showed a faf whip blade and a terminus fan... but it was an "error" and I had to reload the page (a long list of someone elses codes were in the coupon tab too... weird). Upon reloading the page, I saw what my three items ACTUALLY were in the coupon tab... Game of Seats chair, All stars hair, and an item megaphone. WTPineapple?!? This glitchy page, didn't show me my actual spin, nor did it let me select "double marvel" if I had chose to, AND I was seeing some other players codes...
Too many glitches, no more marvel for me...

Did you do it on the first day? For some reason marel is only good on the first day, then crap for the rest of the event. Has lead to many conspiracy theories.

It's just a theory.
Granted, a good theory that has many items suggeting it, but until nexon comes flat out and says it, it will always be just a theory [just like 95% of all science]

huh it looks like a slot machine in operation. never knew that.
also noticed they don't describe it as a raffle anymore. glad they cut that pomegranate out.
they can still kindly pineapple themselves for having garbage like Witch's Special Stew (10), The Owl of Minerva (2), Wheel of Destiny (2), Premium Fusion Ticket (2), Onyx Apple (seriously? only ONE apple?).
oh and for the person who thought this ![[Image: 1-Mil-Maple-Points.png]](http://nxcache.nexon.net/maplestory/shop/gachapon/img/items/1-Mil-Maple-Points.png) little thing up that essentially turns Marvel Machine into a lottery --

Quote:The Marvel Machine will only be around for two weeks OR until spins run out - whichever comes sooner! So get your spins while you still can.
They admitted marvel's spins(prizes) are limited, since 2012. No need to theorize anything. The good stuff is gone in the first few days, then it's all crap.

Huh never knew. Thought it was just their silly sales pitch.
BTW if anyone in YMCK gets a term shield, I'm buying an anviled copy~ We can disucss prices for it later.
