Rasputin's Egg (& other bad favor gifts)

So I'm curious....

Does anyone know why the favor gifts are so useless on the incredibly hard (highest level?) favors? Aside from the high resale value, I'm not finding anything about them very appealing. The Rasputin's Egg is particularly useless (as far as I can tell), but in general there's very little worth keeping. What's up with that?

I dunno whats up with that egg thing, only gotten it once. But the others are pretty good if you need those items. I don't need any of them though, *shrug*

LOL - There is a myth that the rasputin's egg has a secret power.

who would hold onto it long enough to find out? Or equip it during a case? *shivers*

There's some pretty good stuff from the Incredibly Hard favors from time to time. (A two-tone zoot hat, for example). It's true that more of the items used to seem better before we got some of the upgraded items available now through factions and through almost impossible cases. But the money's not bad, either! Those favors are what enable us to save money and pay off Shady, keep us in rent, and buy other stuff that we really want!

Your point is well-taken, Moonshh, and I really don't want anyone to think I'm complaining. For me, it was really just a curiosity that started with my first Rasputin's egg (why would anyone hold onto it at all? and what makes it worth $4800?). The cash is very nice, especially now that I'm trying to upgrade to faction equipment. But in terms of the items themselves, I've only held onto one (my feathered hat) and most seem to have worse bonuses than the items I picked up during easier favors.

You know what I wondered the other day. Rasputin by taking small doses of arsanic, became resistant to it. Was wondering if carrying the egg prevents you to retire?

Anyone willing to try? :)

Hey what's a girl to do with her rasputins eggs.
Rasputins egg and cheese omelettes are simply the best. See recipy elsewhere on the board. :)

That sounds like a challenge.


Hmmm, JST & JoJo would not both stear a person wrong. Maybe I will keep that next egg I find. Those Orbs are a dime a dozen anyway.
