But wait – what about another premium surprise? How about the all-new Hour Glass item!

Of course, why not add this in randomly after adding in Cubes lol..

Oh god, not another one of these events.

As much as I want that Pink Bean pet, it's just not worth paying up to 500k nx for one... and considering past experience, it might be more profitable to just spend the NX on cubes.

Also, that hourglass looks useless. I wonder which equipment's life I can even extend...

Wonder how much it'll be. Something low like 100-200 NX, I hope.

I'd like to see this thing extend CS equipment, just for laughs.

Those 5 att 5 m att face icecreams comes to mind. But to prolong an item like that, and then be unable to extend it after say a year for one reason or another. That would cause rage. I just ignore that this item is even there.

That would be amusing, though it clearly says it does not work on NX items.

Just reusing an overpriced gach again i see. Maybe if it gave a choice of 3 prizes when you use one id go for it. Id rather not get loads of maple life or some other niche item. Ill wager the hourglass is there to poison the chance at good prizes.

Nice point. As pro as the items are (minus the expiry), I can never see myself buying Gachapon Tickets for the sake of the Popsicles or Shoulder Accessories.

Wow, you managed to resist the allure of Miracle Cubes? Or did you buy pre-cubed gears?

If I recall correctly, the last time I mass bought these silly CS Surprises, around 90% of my prizes were 14-day NX Clothes, Beauty Coupons, Weather Effects, and Common Pets.

If I remember correctly you get mostly tons of items that cost less than the CS Surprise (megas, tele rocks, weather effects, owls, charms, wheels), and multiples of items you can't possibly use more than a few of at once, like shops or pets, all of which expire at the same time of course. I believe the "Premium" boxes don't contain clothes, which the first batch of CS Surprises gave a lot of.

If only we had the ability to sell Cash items in FM... 100k meso owls, anyone?

Actually no. I did buy cubes and cubed a lot of my gear. As many as....50? maybe? I already had NX when cubes came out. It was the cubing that made me quit buying NX. I felt bad every time I charged a card but the last one was murder. To see me spend 25k NX on cubes within 20mins just killed me. Haven't bought NX since.

@shouri. he was talking about the Hourglass, not the Cubes.

Aren't they like 20k in MSEA? I bet they'll be at least 2k here.

I know what you mean! I bought NX for cubes, and it's so sad to see it all spent in minutes without any positive result. Since then I bought NX for mesos in game and used MTS more, but sadly my funds are dropping as a result and I am not even aiming for perfect potentials Sad

I told myself I would do the same. I haven't really gotten around to meso farming or anything just yet =3

But, I can say without a doubt I will not be as much as a NX whore if I decide to find ways to get NX.

Fun Fact: I usually have a back-up NX card in case I ever needed it. I don't remember using it, so maybe it's still in my room somewhere :X

What makes it even worse is when right after this, some showoff smegas his 12/8/8 VIP earrings, claiming he used only 35 cubes or something.

Not that you can't get lucky, but it seems that it's the latest fashion to brag about how few cubes you used. I think you can safely take their numbers times 10 in many, if not most, cases.

Oh goodie, another event where Nexon laughs in the face of Paypal NX users..

They failed to mention if the PB pet is perm or not this time around as well.

Well, at least they finally released the hourglass. Although, Cash Shop Surprise isn't the way that everyone would want to obtain it from. :^|
