how hard is it the snipe/win a outfit

[DanielUK]

i just managed to get a witch premium outfit on a bid i was just curiouse as to how hard this can be i have heard people bidding weeks but tbh i only just decided to start bidding on them since the only 2 costumes i have are bought ones

It depends on how many people bid each time. Some outfits are more popular than others. I bid on one at random once for my witch and won. Then I regretted it because it doesn't look good on her. :-(

Pets and value packs are harder because a lot of people want them and they are not restricted by class.

But think of it this way: 1 person wins each item that's posted. Everybody else who bids doesn't win.

try it at night (after midnight), i sniped two costumes within 2 hours, during that time about 20-30 costumes were placed (randomly for all characters) getting a pet is nearly impossible as far as I have experienced because its not restricted for your class :(

Complete RNG. My husband won two in a row the other day.
Whereas I bid on multiple and got none.

You are totally right! The market place bidding system is dumb as hell. It’s RNG no matter what you do.

I actually enjoy that it's RNG.

i have around 15 outfits just randomly bidding while im waiting for sharps or other items, so i guess is not that hard
pets and value packs on the other hand..

First it depends on the costume, and it's all down to chance and the number of snipers vying for what you're after.

I recently just sniped the Crown Eagle costume, and I DEEPLY regret winning it, LOL because my main character looks whacked in it. It's also poorly modelled, realized it once I started customizing the colors. I only bid for it as I did not expect to snipe it, after so many failed attempts.

So far I've sniped three costume sets, and about nine 30-day Value packs, and I've just started playing this game on Steam when it launched.

Don't be discouraged though when you see some folks with 10 plus costumes sniped, they've been playing for a very, very long time. : )

It may improve your chances of sniping what you're after if you purchase the Marketplace Maid, so you don't have run back to a city when you see your alerts.
