1) Is it more profitable to trade in your lunar tokens for lunar fortunes or red gifts bags?

2) If I was to buy a load of Festival Tickets & go AFK (for around 8 hours) whilst in the 9 rings game, how many tickets do you think I should buy? Also, just to be on the safe side but also make profit, which ring do you recommend I stand on?

Thanks.

Not sure on the first save that the lunar fortunes wont net you much at all as far as gold unless you wind up with a mini pet you can sell before they become worthless.

As for the nine rings, last time I bought 20K and lost them all in 4hours, my luck but thats all I have to go on.

mathematically you should lose around 200 tickets per hour, check wiki. If I plan to spend a long time away from the computer I figure I will loose a stack per hour since I stand in a corner and the losing streaks can get rough, so 8 stacks should last you for 8 hours or so.

So you think it'd be better to get the red bags?

What do you think of the profit though? Is there any to be made from doing this?

No people really dont stand on nine rings to gain tickets for gift bags or presents.

Its bascially an up and down thing it depends what wins and such i've gotten more tickets then I started with and also lost 315 in like 45 mins.

sorry, I typed in tokens instead of tickets, since you play nine rings with tickets and that was what I was referring to, I fixed to clarify the mix up. Since you are 99% guaranteed to lose in 9 rings there is no profit margin unless you get into a lucky streak right at the very beginning and win a stack or two of tickets, but that is only 3-6k-ish and not really worth the time. I think it would be better to get the red bags for money making as people will be more willing to dish out money for sweets, booze, and now fireworks during a festival and you have a good chance of getting those from a red bag.

The lunar fortunes can get you a miniature or fireworks or 100g or a useless aura.

So the safer bet for money would probably be gift bags but neither is especially good for money making, unless you get really lucky and get a miniature.
