@puzzlezaddict Thank you for your response. The math of these is sometimes hard to understand. I do understand the basic of it. You get 10% off the price of a set and 90% off the full price of the items you own to calculate your CYS. In the case of the best of 2012 compilation, the price is 5832sp and I own the grill worth 552sp and this makes my CYS price at 4750sp; it works and the price is as expected. But sometimes, the math just doesnt make sense and I get the download button when I wasnt expecting it. The whole animal abound cascade is a good example.
I made a list of the sets I wanted and have been following this thread to acquire them. But I realized that many times items criss cross between compilations and it is better to go for the compilation than the separate sets as they create a cascade. When this happens, the CYS price does not always make sense. In my list, I have the Chun co grill, the greenhouse and the more magic set that I found on the same compilation. I then found this in a 2015 thread concerning cascades...
Best of 2012-- 910 sp
- DD# 546: Chun Co Teppanyaki Grill (150 SP), it is also DD# 149, 160, 497, &579
- DD# 952: Stones Throw Greenhouse (760 SP)
- Best of 2012--- free!
The math just does not make sense, not even close.....although in the compilation, the greenhouse is not listed as a single item. All the items are listed separately and this might explain it. The method for obtaining the Best of 2012 in this thread is cheaper at 828sp but implies having to go through the rotation twice and buying many DD deals that you might miss anyways because they might end up in the middle of the night. The method listed above (if it really works) is much simpler and faster for 82sp more. I was just wondering if anyone had tried it.
I will try it and report back here. If it does not work, I will just do as you mentioned. Thank you !
