Thanks for the help and quick reply @Yomo Kimyata and @Troo.  I'll give it another whirl.  After all, it's nothing but time - right?

and @Troo is it "Yes" for all my questions.  I think that too is a "Yes".  lol

The real jackpot in the super packs used to be the reward merits.  Back when enhancement boosters were selling for 1.5-2 million inf each, a 100-merit card from a pack was worth 30-40 million inf.  They're not worthless now, but the value of reward merits has been hit hard by long-term deflation.

Did I miss the party of "Profits for Super Packs"?

 

I'm honestly tending to be on the other side of what you intend to mean by "Profits for Super Packs".

 

 

 

My "Profits" are "for Super Packs". I do use my profits to buy enhances, but, seriously, I probably open more Super Packs than I buy set enhancements for slotting from the market (I tend not to buy ATOs, Winter, or Universal damage for slotting - as I get those other ways)

... versus your "Super Packs" "For" "Profits".

 

I had forgotten about the things until a friend sent me one years ago.

It wasn't long before I started buying them.

 

My issue with the super packs was not understanding that I could sort thing things in the email window.

Before I realized you could sort them in alphabetical order in email, I had already converted one SG base to hold ATOs and built another to hold Winter Lord enhances - so I could use the enhancement tables to sort them by set.

 

Now I don't pull them out of email until I want to slot a ATO - which is usually a whole set at a time- (I have plenty of the the Winter Lord stored away ... but because I have so many Merits from super packs, I tend to just buy the one or two I need with merits ... I only tend to use a couple of the same kind when I use them), give full sets of both ATO sets for an archetype to someone I'm gaming with recurrently, or - at this point - if I have over 20 of one in stock ... put them up on the market for sale ... and they can sit until they sell.

And, yes, after a time, merits from story arc and task forces really means very little to me as I have a good quantity of merits saved up from super pack purchases.

 

So, if over time you are going to alt out, then super packs can be useful in the long run.

I am not buying the to "turn a profit"; I'm buying them "with my profits", but, in the end, it is a "profit" to my characters in the long term.

 

"Profit from the market"? I gain that in other ways.

It isn't "by" farming, but I suspect most of my profit comes from the inf generated by farmers ... when they buy the goods that my characters have posted on the market.

Yup, that was a game changer
