I expect one last deal tomorrow for the summer sale. I dont really expect one for Monday though...

Oof... with me getting the new deal with little miss sleepy head, I now have to edit this sig... again... *cries*

Today's Deal: Mum and 2 5* dressblooms for 2000NG. Not too bad for collectors; she's definitely not a competitive performer.

2000 gold is a good price for 2 gold dressblooms. If it isnt Aconite I cant really care much for 5 stars...it makes me wonder why I bought Agave in the first place.

Forgive me as I get a bit dramatic.

This is a very important deal. As I see it, this is a test to see how future code girl daily deals will work, and if we want more like this one then it has to make more money than the atrocious Devils Claw one from a few weeks ago. I hope that a lot of people jump on this deal so that they come to the conclusion that catering to everyone is better than catering to just the mega-whales. Sadly though, that might not actually be the case, and it could turn out that $50 code girl deals are the more profitable option. So yeah, if you've ever had any interest in Mum (or just in some reasonably priced dressblooms), I'd highly recommend jumping in on this.

I bought it. I need the blooms. I could care less about Mum (haven't tried the garden scene yet though. It may be good)

I don't disagree with what you're saying in general terms, but in this case, I think the devs are having their cake and eating it too:

When Mum first appeared it was the last step in a step-up gacha that costs 8500 NG, with boosted overall salt rates. The -only- people who bought her were the whale collectors; it was a shitty gacha.

Now in her second appearance, Mum is much more reasonably priced.

I don't see this behavior changing; code girls being introduced at exorbitant prices to get the guaranteed sales from the whale collectors, then reappearing later at a more reasonable pricetag. Amusingly, Agave did the same thing, but in reverse: she debuted at 2500NG (and included 25 FGs), then made a later appearance for 5000NG.

Aconite, I would probably give blood for, but only if she could be rarity grown. not before. The rest no way.

At one point I had interest in Nightmaher but no longer at any kind of premium.
Did you see what they did with Camellia?

Good God.

It seems very odd to me that they keep adding these rarity grown characters that are stronger than a rainbow itself.
I mean yeah, Rarity growth takes a long time to accomplish, but the fact about it is that rarity growth is potentially more common than actually drawing a rainbow unit....
One could argue that the dress slot is a problem, but considering how lucky getting a rainbow pot is, getting the same rainbow on DMM at least has only happened once for me in the 2+ years I have played.

Regardless, back on topic. I wouldn't overthink this deal. Nutaku pricing is all over the place and honestly they probably could care less about mum. She is a fairly weak unit whose collection value was already taken advantage of.

Well that's an oxymoron. How could you claim that it takes a long time to accomplish in the same sentence as saying it takes less time it than a rainbow?

Remember that you need to still gain the crystals by drawing from the premium gacha. At a tiny rate of like, 22 growth stones per 11 draw.

The cheapest you can rarity grow a character is a gacha 5* knight at max equips (that's 3 dupes or dressblooms), which means 500 stones totaly for rarity growth. That is at least 23 11-rolls, or 1150 flower gems at the cheapest.

For free players, even with the high flow of flower gems on DMM, it still takes a few months of collecting. And free players likely won't have a lot of maxed out equip slot knights.

For whales, it's likely not as a big deal, especially now that leader medals are a thing, Rainbows also have a set amount before you guarantee getting a one you'd like. So they're likely to draw a ton of times anyways to get what they want.

Today's deal: 6* dressbloom and 10 FGs for 2000 NG. Not a bad deal.
