Popular Post VirtualNight Posted March 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) With the list being unobtainable by May, I would not recommend for a starter to begin the original list, and the reason is given by the fact that you need to get a new Celebration and 4 different types of Legendary items from the shop. Each day the shop offers you 6 randoms items you don't own yet, and 3 featured items which are new items that the dev add to the game so everybody has the same 3 items available to purchase. what tier is that is up to the dev, but they are top and bottom parts, with a bit of a chance to be legendary, and a colour which almost guaranteed to NOT be a legendary one (otherwise it's a nickname or a banner, both are not needed. A new pattern seems to be very rare). The problem is that nowadays these items are A LOT. I bought everything now and I think I spent about 800 crowns (which is one of the currencies, you get 1 crown for a win which takes usually 15 minutes) and an amount of kudos which may be about 1m (the other currency, and you get about 1,000 for a win, less if you lose and it depends where), although it's very hard to say. Consider I have been playing since the release and have over 1000 hours. So there are a lot of items, and you can only pick 6 per day. Buying all of them in order to slightly increase your odds for the item you need to get to show up for the next days is not really a possibility unless you can play decently for a lot of hours per day, EVERY DAY. But even so, your odds remain low. As I said, I have everything available from the shop, so I can tell you the amount of legendary items vs total amount of items per category (be aware that I have a few that are legendary but are tied to either a high crown rank I don't remember or limited time events, both pretty much unaccessible in time for you, so the total amount is extimated and can be wrong by 3-4 units): Colours: 10 legendary / 122 total Pattern: 9 legendary / 132 total Face is NOT required. Still, they can appear in your shop, lowering your chances. I think there are something like 30 faces so far. Upper: 72 legendary / 265. However, I believe some of these legendaries do not rotate in the shop, so there are less than 72. Bottom: pretty much like upper, because costumes come with a top and bottom, which are both of the same tier if they belong to the same costume, so you have the same chances finally, banners and nicknames take about 120 spots. You don't need them but they can pop in your daily shop as well, which lowers your chances As you can see, your problem is going to be a colour and a pattern, I have read people complaining that they haven't found a legendary after months of daily check of the shop. On top of this, you also need a celebration, which seem to be incredibly rare to appear in the shop. I personally have 12 (plus the default one), and 4 of them are from previous seasons (I don't know if they appear in the shop, but I don't think so since I have almost never seen a person using them after the season with that celebration was over) and a time limited event which will most likely not happen again until the next halloween day. Make your calculations: 6 items per day, until the day the list becomes impossible should be something like 45 days (i think the day of the closure is 9th May), so 6 x 45 = 270 items. Don't put your hopes on the featured items (which also appear once every 3 days), they may give you a top and bottom legendary but it's very unlikely to get something else.

djb5f Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 The way they are giving out Episode wins (Sweet Thieves, Tip Toe Tournament, other special events), Race wins (Tip Toe Tournament, etc.), and even Infallible (Sweet Thieves), it would not surprise me if they purposely offered Legendary items before the May 9th cutoff. Especially considering how many people who have contacted customer support begging for it. They’ve also done special giveaways (outside the shop) which might count for this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICY_Jack Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 It is great from them to bring back these game modes to allow people from getting the win related trophies. However, on top of the calculations of @VirtualNight (really nicely putting it to perspective!), you will also have to buy a total of 50 cosmetics in the shop. During completion of the season pass you will get quite some ingame money, but after that it is restrained to grinding normal rounds to ramp it up (or top it up for real money). With the increased legendary rates - items that are quite expensive either paying in Kudos or Crowns - you will have to play a ton to make it before the list is closed. So in my opinion if you already played the game its a good time to finish it, but starting now is really a bad idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Thieves is coming back because people liked the game mode itself, and not for the Infallible reason. Season 6 barely offered new contents, so that new game mode brought several people back. Tip Toe wasn't featured for awhile so it's returnal was fair enough. Special giveaways will most likely not happen anymore before the closure, they are already giving that pink shark to every ps player that starts the new launcher. Amazon prime ones have always been top/bottom I think, and they should not happen again before the closure. I really can't imagine any developer who would bother to make big changes in favour of a minority such as trophy hunters, although they surely popped trophies for people who could not unlock them after fullfilling the requirements. Anybody who wants to risk is free to do so, there will always be someone starting during the last day anyway. And yes, I completely forgot the 50 items to buy mentioned by @ICY_Jack, at some point it will be mathematically impossible to get 50. The prices can greatly vary from 1,000 to 10,000 kudos, or from 1 to 5 crowns. The current season rewards may cover 2-3 days of daily purchases so it won't make much difference.

Oh, you are correct, I wouldn’t count on a legendary giveaway (or as a featured item in the shop), but I wouldn’t be shocked by it either. Especially with all of the questions they are getting these days by people confused on the launcher going away and many of those wanting trophies and requesting legendary items appear. Remember all the noise on Infallible helped them create modes that made it easier. You could argue that they were going to do that anyway (perhaps) but it is easy enough to code it so that mini-game special events are not eligible. But they threw out a bone to the vocal minority. But for the topic (full of good info btw), I don’t think hardly anyone is starting this game for the first time now. It is 99% people trying to finish off what they already begun.

FoxleyPT89 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 All I'm missing is the legendary color, I know this is a bit random but how often did a legendary color appear in the store? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been checking the store for two weeks and nothing, we have 45 days until a legendary color appears. It would be extremely frustrating if this doesn't happen. The odds are not in our favor, we have 800 items and only 10 legendary colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POEman553 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I ended up spending real money on costume packs and kudos packs when they were available. I got 50 purchases this morning. I managed to get a custom celebration earlier this week. Even then, I'm nervous about getting the legendary color/pattern. I hope Mediatonic doesn't screw trophy hunters over; this is even after I voiced my concern to their support chat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
