Big Spender Challenge: One Most Expensive Item per Shop! | Backpack Battles

[@wedomz]

Might be an interesting idea in the future to have something like "casual Sunday" where you are trying weird, different and funny builds, challenges etc.

[@LuckOuts]

Does sound kinda awesome

[@crystallized1676]

OK I'm doing this challenge myself straight away ;p Did it. Got a Reaper and took a Smelly Wall cuz you despised it even though you had a Reapers badge on a Ranger which is slam dunk Wall for me even without stones. Sadly the whole game I didn't get a Scythe which is odd so had to implement plan B :P Last link if you want to look. Strong burst. Challenge is easy to complete due to massive gold advantage but it is a hard one to get max strength r. 18. Till like r.13 it is a piece of cake. However once an expensive garbage starts popping off on a regular basis you may be in trouble. You either have to rely on big luck or you need prepare for that stage earlier by grabbing reco or even multiples. This is a key item here as well as leaving early with a broom. Broom opens you a lot of possibilities and later it's gonna be very hard to obtain. You need also to grab at least one banana early as again may be too hard to get them later. Box might be a good idea as well, I wasn;t able to get it later . As for challenge rules there is a possibility to manipulate shops with freezing low value items which will hopefully open you cheaper purchases. For me it worked well though in last few rounds doesn't seem worth it. All in all fun challenge that involves more planning than usuall if you willing to play with shops and isn't too hard :) I enjoyed it a lot.

this is actually kinda brilliant right...a secret way to play the game half decent..

[@LuckOuts]

Ah ok that's awesome that you tried the challenge too! Banana is super important to grab early on as there is no chance of getting later on/ I didn't take smelly not coz I despised it but that it was gonna be difficult to get garlics and stones with this challenge. I never thought about manipulating the shops by freezing lower value items, that is quite interesting for sure. Also, glad to hear you enjoyed it @crystallized1676

[@crystallized1676]

@@LuckOuts Yeah fun one, tried 2 more after this. 1 was total failure cuz I was constantly given GS and Wolps (had 52 leftovers before unique lol) but another one was sweet as well. Reco, banana and shop manipulation I think are the most important ones.

[@LuckOuts]

Oh that first one sounded rough haha to be getting greatswords and wolpertingers

[@crystallized1676]

@@LuckOuts The best part is it was on quadra freeze cuz I really wanted to buy sth in that shop =DDD R. 6 and 7. 1% for godly with the worst one into 5% with the second or third worst one. Rough is understatement :D I'm like 'You must be shitting me... Neh, I'm not buying it I rather die' so i got what I wished for ^^ But Scythe Serpent Dragon Pyro was just as good as in normal mode :) Literally slot to slot forced standard build. Well standard for me cuz I doubt many people play it :D Have been ages since I saw any form of Dragon instant Lamp.

I have a challenge for you.. BagLocke... money on 150%, if you see a bag on shop you must buy it and place it, you can't move it once you place it, you must buy at least one bag if you see more on shop, to get any other item. If you don't see any bag, you can choose anything, BUT with only condition you have to waste a reroll (at anytime of that shop) and if you didn't buy a bag because you already wasted all your money, but it shows on the shop, you must reserve it for the next shop and buy it first next. Edit: if you get full backpack, or the bags that shows can't place it, only then you can stop buy bags.

[@LuckOuts]

This does sound quite interesting but I am little unsure on how it goes, so is it that you can only buy an item when there isn't bag in the shop and can only buy a bag when there is bag in the shop?

[@andyrules999]

Can you do this again but no rules, except aiming for 2 Omegagoobs by last round

[@crystallized1676]

Yeah I strongly endorse that proposition :) Max Rainbows possible, no holds barred. Reroll till you get Offering of course cuz Offering is a king in such cases. I wanted do this one myself and was putting it off but gonna give it a shot today :D For me aim is 3x Rainbows as 2x had yesterday without extra gold. Gonna be hard as hell I suspect xd Edit. Did 2 on Offering and I feel it's totally doable for Lucky :) 3 is really hard though ;/ Probably you need to cheat on 1 with 68+ recos or at least steel + 1 more goob as both goobs and whets are huge issue. I tried 5 of these but no luck :P

[@LuckOuts]

I will see what I can do, Thanks @andyrules999 for the awesome idea

[@crystallized1676]

@@LuckOuts Try it out Lucky but seriously take Offering (also Pyro Rainbow much better than others). Goblings are fully manageable but without it you have to dig deep. Second best unique should be Uniquely, make 1xplat cust and hope for Stable or Present (this one is much better). I tried this run but of course didn't get either and out of 7 Rainbow recos + Offering didn't hit neither Rainbow or a single Goob component... so I failed :P My advice will be to take almost every reco you see and once you get first Rainbow do powermilling every second round or even every one. Rainbow should hold. Oh and grab 1 extra whet before r.5. 2 are a headache later.

[@crystallized1676]

@@LuckOuts Time to do some Rainbows ;p

[@LuckOuts]

@@crystallized1676 at some point will definitely try it for sure

[@vaseknovak-j2z]

You said you can only buy the most expensive item, but at 4:21 you skipped hammer and goobert.

[@crystallized1676]

He bought a Snowball which is as expensive as a Hammer.

[@LuckOuts]

Like @crystallized1676 said, I bought a snowball that round so I didn't have to buy the hammer
