To Combine or Not to Combine. That is the question.

[dubeskin]

What is a better thing do to? Today I got my 2nd (well actually 3rd, but traded that one ) Fireworks Magic Pin. In your opinions, is it better to combine them, or to leave them seperate?

Re: To Combine or Not to Combine. That is the question.

I heard that combining magic makes it last longer, or it makes it less the wait for you to use it again, or something...i would combine it, but then again i dont know that much about magic :P

Combine. People can get one easily but must trade for two, and with the new star thing that shows the number of stars they will know its worth two stars,

Re: To Combine or Not to Combine. That is the question.

Combine, esp now that we will be able to see how many stars it is in the trading window

Other magic's I would keep single, unless your wanting to combine for yourself. Just gives you more options in trade.

Re: To Combine or Not to Combine. That is the question.

Me? I've always kept mine as one-star, especially since you can't uncombine them.

Re: To Combine or Not to Combine. That is the question.

I combined mine in to four star fireworks, since not a lot of people want them anyways. And its always cooler when you can do it for 50 seconds and other people can only do it for say 12.

Re: To Combine or Not to Combine. That is the question.

Re: To Combine or Not to Combine. That is the question.

My rules for combining:
Fireworks: Yes, combine away.
Everything else: No combining.
Inferno: Haha, yea. Don't think so.

But this is just what i do

Re: To Combine or Not to Combine. That is the question.

imagine 50 sec inferno!

lol~ that would rock

it be kinda annoying waiting for it to turn off though! lol

Re: To Combine or Not to Combine. That is the question.

Lol. I can't imagine 5 star inferno even. Well, maybe LittleDragonErin could ! But I sure can't. And I went on ahead and combined them. Thanks for the advice everyone!

Re: To Combine or Not to Combine. That is the question.

I have made five star invisibility, teleportation (recharges in about 10 seconds) and fireworks magic. It's kind of cool. But if it is magic that is good for trading -- bat, snowman, inferno -- I would say that you should not combine.

Re: To Combine or Not to Combine. That is the question.

Pirate Magic - recharge time is decreased to about 1:00 and it lasts about 2:30

Cursed Storm - there is at least one player out there with a 5* but I have not come across them

Buried in Treasure - there's a few out there with 5* but have not seen them yet either

(The above three were tradeable early on but no longer are. Those with more than 1* were around during beta and that's how they got them.)

Fireworks - recharge time is decreased to 1:00 and it lasts about 2:00

Teleport - recharge time is decreased to 0:10

Invisibility - recharge time is decreased to 1:00 and it lasts about 2:30

Inferno - recharge time is decreased to 1:00 and it lasts about 2:45

Bat Magic - recharge time is decreased to 1:00 and it lasts about 2:45

Snowman - recharge time is decreased to 0:10

Blue Car (2*) - lasts about 5-10 seconds longer
Only able to get more than one blue car due to quest bug for a few people and then only 2 of them at most

Pink Car (2*) - lasts about 5-10 seconds longer
Only able to get more than one pink car due to quest bug for a few people and then only 2 of them at most

Green Car (3*) - lasts about 10-15 seconds longer
Only able to get multiple green car due to the quest being changed 3 times. A few people did it on the first day before fireworks minimum requirement was changed. It was changed a second time allowing for a possible third magic to be acquired. There are a few with 2 green cars. Unknown if any have 3.

The rest of the magic isn't tradeable, or combineable or hasn't been released to the VMK public.

Re: To Combine or Not to Combine. That is the question.

I'm not a big fan of magic to begin with. It just doesn't excite me all that much. I've acquired a lot of Fireworks magic and have combined a lot of them to five-star to make them more desirable for trades. I keep a lot of them at 1-star, though, for a couple of reasons. If someone just wants 1-star, I have it. If they want 2,3,4,5 star, I can combine on the spot.

If you want multi-star fireworks for yourself, go ahead. For trading, I'd leave my options open.

Thank you LittleDragonErin for the breakdown. That should be a sticky!
