TOPIC: Suggestion: Condensed pack Changes

Azzy wrote: I'm not sure what everyone else's experiences are, but in auctions I've run that aren't super condensed I feel like I get a decent interest in rare bags yet not a ton in UC bags. I was just wondering if we could get a sort of option at the half-way point between super condensed and regular condensed, where all common and uncommon tokens are replaced by trade good equivalents, but bags of 120 rares are still included.

Jeff requested we bring this up again this year in the last thread (I brought it up too late to implement), so here it is!

I'd LOVE to have options for packs

Condensed - auto transmute all COMMON tokens
Uncommon Condensed - auto transmute all COMMON and UNCOMMON tokens
Super Condensed - auto transmute all COMMON, UNCOMMON and RARE tokens

Definitely +1 to this idea, many years I want some of the rares but not any of the uncommons

In addition to that option, I wonder if it would be possible to see an ultra-condensed 8k. Pick a Legendary, drop the appropriate other pieces of the 8k (trade goods, GP, wish ring, PYPs) to offset that. Or maybe one step lower than that, one that gives you all the Relics that aren't tied to monster bits, with a corresponding reduction in what you get.

I think that might complicate things given the different numbers for each recipe

What I have seen is that rares bags are hit or miss by year. Most of the time folks aren't willing to cover the average mulch cost of a rare bag and much less likely for an uncommon bag.

That is fairly true.

But as a buyer I would prefer to get my own $2000 order with the commons and uncommons pre-transmuted and have only the rares and ultra rares coming to me. As a buyer the uncommon condensed offer would be preferable for me.

Super Condensed is at 8K, condensing common tokens is at 1K. What would the scale be for uncommon? Since uncommon is 2:1 with Rare and 2:7 with Common, it seems like 4K is roughly the point at which you get as many uncommon tokens in an order (960) as rare tokens in an 8K order (960) or common tokens in a 1K order (840). Though I'm not sure what is special about that token volume, other than it is at least 20 times the number of distinct tokens.
