also just did my seasonal scrapping for a total of 75,617 ctp.
Assuming you aren't merchant, don't forget to subtract the 5,320 CTP to get all those drops... but i also didn't include hundreds of rogue tech collectors and ctp from planet scanning ... oh, and next year i expect that i will have built up a stockpile of void barrier chassis to scrap as well.

I wish someone had kept track of that as I would be interested if you find enough RTC and get enough CTP from them to make it worth it. From personal experience, the CTP I get from RTCs seems to roughly balance out the Merchant fees. That is to say, if I do a few hours NPCing, I typically end up with around the same amount of CTP in my cargo as when I started. Of course, on top of that you have Scythe Platings, Leviathan Rift-Emiiters (if you can still get them) and CTP-scrappable drops from Elites/Bosses, too.

So, this Spice item is /boggle.
I have 29 spices. I averaged just over 1/day.
I went to start upgrading them in preparation for the event ending tomorrow.
I go to upgrade the first batch. Great, 28 of them are upgraded by +10%
I go to upgrade the second batch, and am then met with this message:
"One (or more) of your Spices has been enhanced recently. You must wait a bit longer (up to 20 hours) before you can enhance the rest."
Apparently I missed the memo where you had to be doing this daily?
So now I get to spend the next 9 days upgrading my Spice to their full potential, and by that time the Chuhn event will be done.
This item was not thought out, or even tested...apparently. I don't understand how (or why) there would be an item designed to reward hoarding them, then upgrading them to receive maximum benefit...only to be met with a cooldown....during an limited seasonal event that rewards you for scrapping the item during that event for maximum benefit...
Can someone please send in a ticket about this? I tried, but it's throwing up an error.

Several people have sent ones. It seems he is just ignoring them. I sent 3 or 4 tickets this event and none of them got responses. And yes it definitely wasn't thought out and nothing is ever tested anymore, just released as bugged quality #&$#. Dan just doesn't care anymore. This event was more disappointing than last years Bane event and maybe even Q-Pedds.

The Spice Must Flow medal only requires that you: Maximize the value of your 'Spice of Illustris' 3 times says nothing about doing it during the Chuhn seasonal. as far as i know, the Best of Friends medal can be done any time during the year, not just during the February event. but thanks for giving us the info on the cooldown timer .. i've added it to the wiki. this medal might take me a couple years to do

That is awesome. May I ask how many Stem Bolts you collected?

Which sucks hard IMO.

Yes, that was my point.
I found 21-23 of each ship modules, ~50 ales, ~50 spark matters, ~80 stem bolts, and ~35 contraptions?
Math tells me I found about 310 Merchants. 310 x 70 CTP = me crying. This event is definitely not worth "farming." Even with the upgraded spice + scrapping them during the Event, I doubt I'd recoup half of what I spent getting there.

The event has been extended through October 7th. I don't see the point in doing this but whatever. These merchants shouldn't have random drops anymore. You should be able to choose what item you get OR you should be able to do multiple trades with the merchants if its going to be random.

But the price goes up each time

But the price goes up each time nah, keep the existing chuhn merchant the same (but maybe drop the cost to trade back down to the 2015 values - 100 energy, 50 ctp). then for next year, introduce an elite NPC that can be alerted to legion members: Rich Chuhn Merchant 30 trade slots duration 1 hour each player can initiate a trade with the Rich Chuhn Merchant with a 30 minute cooldown (GenoSynth coding) ctp price set around the current Chuhn Merchant price (250 energy, 75 ctp) Rich Chuhn Merchant will have an exclusive drop for the 2018 seasonal trading medal (which the regular Chuhn Merchant will get in 2019 while the Rich Merchant gets the new 2019 drop).

just got this popup: Quote: As requested, 5 Spice of Illustris(s) were placed in your artifact cargo. i had sent in a support ticket regarding the disappearance of the Spice that i used for the 2017 trading medal ... and the 5 Spices i got were all 100% enhanced. scrapped 1 to see if it would trigger the Spice medal .. but just got the ctp. so folks will still have to gather 13 base level Spices to do the Spice medal. i only have 1 base Spice, so not going to use it until i gather 12 more next year.

I got the same as Senator and my email from support is this: Yes, there was a serious bug that was causing the stacks to be 'used' in many cases when they should have remained in cargo instead. Though that has been fixed, we'll be going through and giving credit where appropriate. Apologies -GL Support 11 mins ago As requested, 5 Spice of Illustris(s) were placed in your artifact cargo.

You must wait a bit longer (up to 20 hours) before you can enhance the rest. so i will make 1 progress on the Spice medal in 9 days EDIT: and it means you can finish the medal with only 3 spices instead of 13.

Oh and the 5 Spices I got from Dan are marked "100% Enhanced" when I mouse over them.
The 4 I had left have "10% Enhanced" when I do the same. I am still not sure how to go about it and am scared if I stack they will all revert to 10% or 0% as before.

8.33 days with 20hr cooldown to get to 100% on 3 of them for medal
20hrs x10 is 200 hrs /24=8.33 days
I think you don't have an end time limit for the medal - so like in 8.5 days if you have 3 upgraded in 9 days your done

I also had 4 of the Spice at 10% and I just enhanced, then clicked on the Trade Tab again and all 4 are still there, stacked, and at 20%. So it looks like it is fixed and doing what it was originally suppose to do. Still have to wait 20 hours to enhance again. You will only need 3 to start with to work on the medal, if you haven't enhanced any yet.
