Scavenger items history and price guide

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by Kefo, Apr 13, 2020.

  1. Scavenger hunts were released to celebrate the release of parties to PIMD and to encourage people to actively participate in them. There have been multiple phases and evolutions of these hunts. Some of the scavenger hunts are still ongoing, and they acted as the prototype to both 'sets’ and ‘drops’.
    In this guide I want to take you through their 2-year prime, discuss the rarity of some of these items, and provide a price guide for them.

    Key,
    Tradable = it will have a price next to it
    Untradable = 🚯
    Spoiler =
    Girls fart too

    The first two scavenger sets dropped between October 24 and October 31, 2012.
    The event had 2 separate scavenger sets.

    None of the above items show up in showcases however the set, if it was completed during the
    event, will be visible. They're the only non-gifts that I know of which don't show up in showcases.

    The second set from the 2012 Halloween event is the Zombie bro.

    Zombie Bro 🚯

    3. Zombie bro arms = 5c

    The Zombie parts and set items can be traded, are visible, and were even given stats when they
    were later rereleased in the 2016 Sugar Rush! halloween event.

    Despite only dropping for half a year in 2013, these next items can still be traded and combined as many times as you like. The fact that there is no limit to the number of sets you can make led to some of the components becoming quite rare, and they can only get rarer. Higher numbered items were harder to get. The latter four in each set are labelled ‘expert’, and must have dropped from harder parties (probably the pros).

    A lot of these were collected as they dropped from late 2012 until July 11th 2013.
    The items were also subject to duplication via a glitch that was discovered at the time and later patched.

    The next two scavenger sets have some items that are still dropping from parties today. Click here to see what parties they drop from.

    The first 2 items from each set: Catsuit and Electric Guitar, and Cracked aPhone and Coyote Hood don’t drop anymore but haven’t had the opportunity to become as rare as film posters and golf carts because people can only make one set on their account, and then the items don’t combine.

    I don't know when the first 2 items stopped dropping.

    Corgi-copia 🚯
    Announcement Thread
    Duration: November 16th - December 2, 2013


    [​IMG]

    The Ugly Squash is the quintessential valuable statless item on PIMD due to its immense rarity, even having the second 10mcs item on the game ‘Ugly Squash Holo’ named after it. Suggesting stats that would match its rarity however as you can see here, it dropped from pretty plain and easy parties that could have been easily farmed. So why is it so rare?
    People were more concerned about getting the harder items, so just got one of the ‘granted’ ugly squashes and ended up combining it to make their corgi-copias, and there weren't many left over.

    Be warned: If you wish to collect this set. The components still combine to make the corgi. This can mean wasting 40 bentos worth of stuff. Be careful.

    The devs listed the parties that each component would drop from, and those will be included in the spoilers.

    1. Pumpkin Ale = 3o
    (lower level players have better chances)
    - Counter Culture
    - Dumpster Dive
    - No Hand Brakes!
    - Fake Art 101
    - DIY Tattoo
    - Draw Manga!

    2. Ugly Squash = 40-50o
    (lower level players have better chances)
    - Prank Primer
    - Frisbee Follies
    - All Roads Lead to Beer
    - Afternoon Delight
    - Cabana Cool
    - Noodle Express

    3. Preserves = 20c
    - Fake Art 101 PRO (high level players have better chances)
    - DIY Tattoo PRO (high level players have better chances)
    - Counter Culture PRO (all players but with a lower chance)
    - Dumpster Dive PRO (all players but with a lower chance)

    4. Tofu Turkey = 3o

    Santa Pug 🚯
    Hunt thread here
    Duration: December 18th 2013 - January 13th 2014


    The Santa Pug represents the first "Hunt Drop".
    In the event 'Collect all 8 reindeer pugs', collecting one of each of the pugs would cause them to combine into the Santa Pug, and players would then receive hunt rewards for reaching certain milestones of numbers of Santa Pugs collected. There was also a hunt leaderboard with other special rewards.

    This set no longer combines.

    2014 Year of the Horse Coin 🚯
    Hunt Duration: January 30th - February 17th 2014
    [​IMG]

    This item was released in the Year of the Horse Celebration hunt. There is not limit on how many can be combined, and they still combine to this day so the Red Envelope, the rarest component, has long been quite valuable.

    [​IMG]

    1. Fish Cake = 5c
    2. Red Envelope = 4o
    3. Firecrackers = 5c
    4. Dragon Firework = 5c

    Heart-shaped Box
    = 10:1c

    Hunt Thread
    Hunt Duration: 8th February - 17th February, 2014.


    This scavenger set is a hunt drop like the santa pug, and also the first hybrid set because not all of its components drop randomly from parties but one was a gift. It no longer combines so the items that dropped from parties are very common. A trend on PIMD is that as time progresses, more active people, and more people partying lead to more things being collected each hunt.

    [​IMG]

    1. Gorilla chocolate = 20:1c
    2. Shark chocolate = 20:1c
    3. Bear chocolate = 20:1c
    4. Croc chocolate = 20:1c
    5. Hippo chocolate = 10c

    The hippo chocolate acts as a catalyst, earnt by gifting, and significantly rarer than all the other chocolates.

    2014 Easter Basket 🚯

    From the Great Egg Hunt: April 14-April 22, 2014

    The devs have now learnt to use scavenger items as hunt progress markers to gain more control over peoples' ability to progress in hunts. This hunt marks the funeral of the true scavenger hunts, and the beginning of a short era of scavenger-drop-based hunts.

    Pokeyball 🚯
    From the Pokeymons hunt. September 3 - September 11, 2014

    [​IMG]

    Another hunt incorporating scavenger items to create hunt ‘drops’/progress markers was Pokeymons! The components of this set are some of the most wide-spread and abundant tradable items in the game, pokeymons are popular collectibles for players new and old.

    Probably the victims of a duplication glitch, people can have thousands of these items. The set no long combines. But the four pokeymons are far more nostalgic than the set anyway!

    1. Fire Bulmander = 10:1c

    2. Water Squirchu = 1:10c

    You can get 100 of each of these for a bento.

    Pledge Signature 🚯
    From Pledge Week: September 30 - November 8, 2014

    This scavenger hunt was a part of 'pledge week', one of the few college-themed hunts on PIMD, and something that, for a time, actually made pimd look like a college simulator.

    Frankenpug
    = 2:1c-3:1c
    From Howl-oween event: October 24 - October 31, 2014

    Originally released in the howl-oween hunt, and then rereleased in the 2016 Sugar Rush hunt. These old hunt drops from 2014 became a super-abundant item, collected ravenously for their cheap statistical bonus. Despite only being 15kcs each, people would buy 200 of them per bento because so many were around, and they were random drops from cat cafe (although remarkably rare, barely increasing their population from before rerelease).
    I remember a few keen collectors, each with over 200,000 in the early days. With some collecting over half a million. But due to this mass-hoarding, they've become quite scarce, though still a cheap source of misc bonus.

    [​IMG]
    The components are considerably harder to find, although not much.

    1. Mummy Pug = 2c
    [​IMG]
    2. Vampire Pug = 2c

    3. Werewolf Pug = 2c

    _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

    These are all of the Scavenger items... Originally statless.
    After these hunts, the devs, for the most part, desert the idea of basing hunts entirely around this format, of finding a handful of different items and then combining them into a set.

    The next chapter in the story of pimd showcase items will be the 'Set Hunts'. Where drops are collected from parties, these drops then combine to make distinct items, which are then combined to make Hunt sets.
     
  2. Bump so I might motivate myself to make another pricing guide.

  3. Wow! You made an entire guide and nobody even gave you 1 bump?!

    I am disappointed in you forums. This is why you cannot have nice threads anymore, you have no respect for the time and effort keto put into this.

    Shame on you all!!!!!

    Bump.

  4. Freudian slip? 😂
     
  5. Keto diet is a lot of effort, I couldn't handle it
     
  6. Probably autocorrect since Julie was on the Keto diet
     
  7. Yup, definitely that pesky autocorrect. We're still doing keto, and I search for dinner ideas often.
     
  8. This is very good. Also i really enjoyed combining these back then.

    Also im out of the loop with the worth of some of these items. What is the currency?
     
  9. Currency in trade is usually chibis and bentos since chibis are on spinner constantly, means their supply is somewhat consistent.

  10. This guide is super useful, thank you so much! I’ve been away for 4 years and I’ve been living off your guides for the last day to try and get my head around the new chibi/bento currency system!
     
  11. tysm for this guide 💕
     
  12. Good guide, but I think the corgi hunt prices are far too low for their extreme rarity. When the hunt was on, people weren't looking for the squash, but rather the tofu turkey was the hardest to get.
