Cash in now! High trade currency rates!

Hello guys! If you are looking to make a few robux or tix, head over to the currency exchange now. The rates are really high. Buy some tix and when the rates fall again trade them back for Robux and you will make some great profit! Also, Road to 100K will be a weekly roundup from now on as I am too busy to do it daily, and Im not trading a lot at the moment either.

Road to 100K: Week 2, Day 3

Welcome to Day 3 of this second week, trading my way up to 100K.
Yesterday I couldn't make many trades and I couldn't write the post because I wasn't able to access the internet. However today I am back and I am going to discuss a topic of interest today: Recent Average Prices.

Recent Average Prices (Part 1)

Recent Average Prices is the price that shows you how much a Limited Item is worth in the trading window. It updates quite often and can leave you with a higher priced or lower priced item over time. This can obviously be good or bad. I have done only two trades in the last two days for very small profits and so today, if the R$ total has shot up, or gone down; it will most likely be to do with the RAP.


The RAP of this item has gone up considerably. I traded it last week when its RAP was around 120R$. That was a bad trade and you should really look at the two key figures below:


Firstly, the top line tells you the Recent Average Price, 305R$. The line at the bottom tells you the average price in the last 30 days. It is 221R$, but more importantly, it has increased by 38%. This means that it is a good buy and the RAP is likely to increase because the 30 day average will be pushing up the RAP.


In Part 2: I discuss how else to find a good limited using the graphs and statistics above. And how selling your item before its RAP falls is a good idea - and when to know to sell it.


So in the last two days, my total has reached:

32,524 R$

Oh No! Its fallen by 1260R$! I think that this is down to the dip in price of the Green Flash Shades and Eyes of Everfrost which is now just 3978R$ when it was over 5000R$ before!
See you tomorrow! Looks like I'll need to trade some more and get my RAP higher!


Server Spotlight: Mountain Crater

Welcome to another brand new series on ROBLOXia today. In this edition of Server Spotlight, we take a look at Mountain Crater, a great server maintained by MasterDaniel, where selected players build in a crater which is overshadowed by numerous mountains. Even though this is my place, I will not be biased when talking about it.


This is the thumbnail for the place and it is really cool and dynamic. It is in a good location and shows the most up to date image of the town. That makes it a cool thumbnail. The town features the biggest Wiring University in ROBLOX and a University called the MCU. The town contains all the facilities you'd expect; shops, hotels, housing, hospitals and schools. 

What I really like about the game is the virtual economy, players in the game build up cash slowly over time, or by completing jobs for others. It encourages people to work for money and shows them an insight into what the real world it like.



However, tools are hard to come by in this server which is targeted often by griefers. The games received 1,694 visits since it was created and has been often seen with almost full servers of 30 people. Tools are hard to come by and people who ask put themselves at risk of a ban.




Pros:

  • Good looking place with some nice terrain features and buildings to keep people interested.
  • There is minimal griefing, but at the expense of free tools
  • There is an ingame economy
  • There is very little lag
  • Hospitals and other community buildings are good for role-playing

Cons:

  • Tools aren't given out very often
  • There are high brick counts
Overall


This is a nice server that many people will enjoy, if they get tools. However it is still quite enjoyable roleplaying with other players in the schools and hospitals.

Thats it for this edition of Server Spotlight, I hope more are to come! Maybe I will be visiting your personal server next!

Brand New Catalog Launches

Some people have had the new catalog for some time, but for others this is their first sight of the new catalog.



This is the brand new catalog and I think that it looks quite slick and nice. It is a much updated UI and fits the new style that had steadily made its way across the site. 
You can also sort items really easily. I wanted to find some Social Items and I could do it in a few quick clicks. Also, I wanted to find some forest items for my character. I searched for it in the box.


As you can see forest items appeared. In fact, items that didn't even include the word forest came up, but they were relevant, like the Green Guardia helm and the Woodland Knight, which says Woodland instead of Forest.

I think that this new catalog is a good improvement to ROBLOX. It looks much more modern, like other pages across the site.

Road to 100K: Week 2, Day 1

Welcome to the second week of Road to 100K!, the daily article where I tell you about my trading system progress. Last time I worked out that I had 32,661R$ tied up in my ROBLOX limiteds. Today I discuss what I've been trading and share with you an epic trade!

Today I have been trading some more of those lower priced items for one bigger item. However I have also sold some large hats for a couple of smaller hats. I've also been taking into account the current selling price of an item and have declined many trades today because of this. Someone tried to trade my Snowman Headrow for another item but the other item had recently fallen in price and it sold for less than its RAP. The Snowman Headrow sells for much more than its RAP. I declined this trade.

Later in the day I got an epic trade which I almost thought was a mistake from the user!


I upgraded what was quiet an undesirable hat in my opinion to a much more desirable and much more expensive hat in just one trade! After I accepted this offer (which generated a profit of 880R$) I got many offers for the Shades. It was a very good deal.

An hour or so before the deadline (which is 8pm - when I stop trading to write this report) I requested more trades and got a really good one. 4 of my items for an item worth 10,000R$ or so. It generated a small amount of RAP profit, but meant I could use the gear on a bigger item, like the Classic Fedora which is very popular. However the deal was unfortunately cancelled before I could accept it! :'(

So, now its time to see how much money I have made today. Its time for the total!

1123R$ profit today, for a grand total of:

                                                      33,784 R$

Road to 100K - Week 1

Hello and welcome to a brand new feature here on Robloxia Today!

I'm looking to get 100,000 R$ by trading my way up from just a starting budget of 5000R$.

I originally bought some limiteds with this money and these are them:


Troll Pet 525
Robot Patriot 300
Moustache Warrior 250
Dark Northern Conqueror 250
Dark Lord 600
Twilight Emperor 599
Mischief Maker 300
The Reckoner 475
Courageous Warrior King 250
Red Monster League Baseball Cap 145
Z Ray Gun 1500

I actually spent 194R$ over, but that is besides the point! I then started to trade my way up. I completed quite a few trades and got rid of 2 or 3 hats to get a more valuable one. Sometimes I traded 1 expensive hat for 4 smaller ones, just so I had some extra "change" that I could spend to make the RAPs a bit closer so the other person was more likely to accept.



Now I have quite a few limiteds, which you can check out on my profile. I have added up their Recent Average Prices (RAP) and so far I have got:

32,661 R$

However, I must add that I did have some quite valuable limiteds before I started trading, however quite a lot of them have been upgraded, and I've made around 1500R$ profit on trades so far! This is now where the work begins! I have 32,661R$ but this is set to go up pretty slowly from now on, after I have included all the limiteds I have.

I hope to see y'all again tomorrow when I will do Week 2, Day 1! 
Please leave a comment telling me if you enjoyed this post, or share it on social networks!

Robloxia Today is back!

Hello and welcome to the first post in a long while for Robloxia Today.

While going through my groups, I noticed the fan group again (which you should join here: http://www.roblox.com/My/Groups.aspx?gid=474715) and I was about to close it down to create space before I remembered how good this blog used to be, the traffic it used to get and I felt a bit guilty for leaving it and making it become inactive.

Thats why from today ROBLOXia Today restarts. Theres a few series of articles coming soon such as:

ROBLOX Reviews: Yes, they will be back in the way you know and love, pitting two places with each other and scoring them based on 5 different factors. They will be posted every other weekend.

Trading System Roadtrip: I am aiming to get 100,000R$ worth of hats and items, and you can follow me each day as I round up what I have done on the Road to 100K

ROBLOX Interviews: These will also be back and hopefully more people will be interviewed including some famous faces.

Hat Reviews: These will be back in a renewed format, offering more detail about which hats look the best, could be worth a lot in the future and which hats have a rapidly increasing RAP!

Thanks to all those that have continued to check back with ROBLOXia Today over this quiet period, and hopefully you will be overjoyed to see this post today!
