    Yeah, i train my 2 pets everyday and there seems to be an increase in prices for codestones and minor increase for dubloons ><

    most noticeable in red codestones of course which is the ones im using ><

    NOT REAL! It's not true! I've been playing key quest for 5 days now.

    Here's the proof: [​IMG]

    All those codestones are rewards from Key Quest.
    !!!

    I have open only golden and silver vaults!

    Just 5 minutes away where you live (:
    5 days = 10 keys per day
    50 keys
    if you had golden keys that's still a small amount of codestones fasty.
    and if you have all silver keys it's prob. average what you got.

    yup.

    but 50 golden keys that is 4 items per key. so 200 items.
    when KQ first came out you would have gotten a lot more.
    At least i notice i don't get much out of KQ like when they first introduced it.

    And i had those before.
    When i told people on boards they said it might have to do with using the keys right after you got them.
    They told me that if you wait a while and then redeem your price it will be worthy.
    i don't know whether this is correct or not.

    Yes these keys might be working similar to scratchcards.

    If you redeem the prize, then that PRIZE and only THAT prize you'll get depending on the key's or scratchcard's ID.

    That's just my theory, though.

    Not advisable! You never know when they gonna deflate and you lose your nps! We should just watch the show without taking risks! B)

    codestones never stay at a high price.
    So buying them in bulk and later selling them isn't advisable like fasty said.
    C: Tnt always tries to deflate them
    they went up after the plot war but then deflated because of kq.

    it wouldn't surprise me if tnt does something to deflate them.

    look what they did to the lab map with tarla giving out pieces ;)

    if you do that it you increase the chances of getting frozen that way.

    My computer's too slow to play KQ properly, but I get TONS of codestones from REs. I think my record is around 4 in a day XD According to a friend of mine, my account is 'lucky'. I'm thinking of training my pets though, so I probably won't sell them. :/

    It's really annoying that PB's hardly ever get given out now, when before they were getting chucked at people. D:
    I've only just got into it.

    The PB's are still around but I would say it's around a a 1-30 chance of getting one and they only come from gold keys. The best thing you can do is get on the key quest boards and find a partner and then just trade off wins. I trade wins with my wife so it works out fairly well and I can make quite a bit for a couple hrs worth of keyquest.
