So now I'm back to cash opens. I've come to terms with this event being a wash.

    Oh well.
    How was it a wash? Sounds like you spent a bunch of gold and lost it.

    It may be the way you are approaching the event which is why you are stuck on 9.

    I think there is a combination to open up the 10th. ie rob get a debit card, if it doesnt open try a pvp, then maybe a double hit on the maps. I havent discovered what it is, but my feeling is there some method to open up the 10th. I have 4 of the event items. Though Funzio may change this combination with each event, there was method which I used to get the Midas Gun which I got. I tried it with the others but failed so it may change.

    I know someone who spent a lot of gold but didnt get the 10th item, they just did pvp and done the map's (ma sheng).

    I think you have to include rob and jobs in the combination. (Though I could be wrong).I know there are players who seem to get the 10th item all the time, maybe they may wish to enlighten us a little.

    Because people spend a fortune on some events I stick to cash only now (which I have done since the 4th event) and usually get to 9 with the occasional 10th.

    Lost it? It's not officially lost until the event ends but I'm calling the event a wash for me because I don't think I have much chance of getting 9 & 10, so I'm back to cash opens.

    And I was really happy when I got the final prize. $20 is nothing when u spent $100 before.
    If it was just up to me I would send until I got it. Especially because I've spent $100 already. My wife is my rational stopping point.

    Sorry.

    When you open the 10th item, a portal will open to hades and suck in the entire world, the population of which will be forced to watch reruns of Chips and the Cosby show whilst being force fed coffee flavoured revels and whipped with stinging nettles by singing midgets.

    Hence funzio has coded specifically so you don't obtain the item. Don't do it.

    Now for this event, I'm 1 out of 11 on opens on cash attempts. I would think the odds of getting #10 with this low of opening rate is pretty much .000000000000000001%?

    I hate gambling!

    Eyelusion, all I can say is that if that if someone from Gree contacts you and offers you more gold to open boxes if you will "go out on some dates with their friends" . . . DON'T

    But, what if they say she has a "great personality"? I'm assuming it would be a she

    You go with that assumption, when Ben Dover shows up on your doorstep for his date, well - you will know who sent him. BTW, has Mr. Dover been the one sellingf you all that gold to open the ATMs?

    70 opens for a 75% chance. (7 days, 14 hours, or 4 days, 16 hours with 1050 gold)
    116 opens for a 90% chance. (13 days 16 hours, 6 days 8 hours with 1740 gold)

    From 9 you had 32 opens. This means with that much gold, you had about a 48% chance of obtaining the item.
    Okay Ramshutu,

    How does this work out now? I have 41 opens since 9 (39 gold, 2 cash). Do my odds move up to 55% or does the cash bring those odds crashing to a hault? My current cash open rate is not the best sample with just 2 out of 12 opens in this event.

    Further yet, don't the odds reset after every open, meaning my odds each time are the same as that "...less than a roulette table"?

    Out the 10th after 2 days - cash only!
    I've found that if your doing missions and you get a teller machine drop, you open it straight away, only 23 tellers opened for my 10th debit card!
    It's all random I know, the last 2 or 3 events I've been stuck on 8 but I got this 1 done no problem 
