100 MIB Research
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 2:46 pm
I've been meaning to make this post for a while now. Last summer I had collected a good amount of MIBs. Seeing how much they were being sold for, I was curious how much profit people make who actually buy them. I myself have never purchased one but have fished up many. Now of course for those of you old forum savvy vets this has been done before, in an awesome post by Daolin a couple years ago.

But I figured, why not do it again? If I'm going to fish all these up, why not record the data? More data is always better. So for reference purposes, here is the loot that 100 fished up MIBs got me. I may not have kept as extensive of data as Daolin did, but enjoy. Keep in mind that with this data I did not sell any items to other players. All items listed were either GLD, items kept, or items sold to vendors for GLD.
