Antique Shop: Reading Drive
The Antique Shop now has a tab for Reading Drive prize items!
Remember that buying collection items (books, stickers, plushies, food, and beanbags) from the Direct To Collections tabs will give you a discount!
Note: Any remaining Reading Drive Points and Pirate vs Islander points have been removed from site.

I had a death in the family, so no I haven't been on the site and now all my hard earned reading drive points are just GONE! I tend to hord points back to use for gifts for friends wishlists. Nice when gift giving season is coming up.
Something this big should've been emailed in a newsletter.

I didn't see the notice that they'd be retiring...looking back through the news I see it, but it was posted like a week ago. That's really short notice for something like this. It took me a lot of effort to get those points as I was a noob and didn't have any retired books stocked up. I was saving the points to buy friends Christmas presents and whatnot.
Oh well, yet another reason for me to not bother coming back to Subeta.

And yet another group of my valuables I had saved up- drop in value.
Are we doing more Reading Drives in the future?

Nice! Can't wait to get a few things for TC's
Good thing I got that Reviver of Lion (or whatever that is next to the Malice with the Lion's head on it) when it was affordable in points.
And yay! I can get Wishbook now without breaking my bank!

I wasnt a member back then, I did participate in the last reading drive. It wasnt 'just turning in some cheap hoarded books' for me though. I actually spended quit some money and time into it as I wasnt a member for too long. I cant compair it with the pirate event, I am sure if was more work.

The prices are relative to the effort to get the items in the original event.
Pirate vs Islanders wasn't a massive Cookie Clicker game. It was a plot that demanded tens of hours in to get a semi-decent score. So, of course, the prices are high because that specific plot was extremely demanding.
Reading drive was people hoarding books all year long and turning them in in the first 30 minutes of the event, then waiting 2 weeks for prizes.

These prizes are reasonable, they should adjust the prizes of the islanders and Pirates aswell imo C:
Stupid question: If my pet has read some of the books but not all of them, and I hit the "direct to collection" tab under books, will I only be charged for the books my pet hasn't read or will I be charged for all of them, regardless?
The prices for these are fantastic!Now,if only the staff would reconsider the prices on the Pirate and Islander stuff.
Yes! I am quite pleased with the prices. :) A lot of those prices are less than what they were in shop search. I can afford a few more weapons now! ;)

@Wolf_Spirit You can’t really compare the two (pirate vs islander and reading drive) because they were vastly different events. The points for each were also very different, like pirate vs islanders had such a large gap between items (some at 10 points some at like 400 some at like 1000) while Reading Drive were much closer together. We aren’t going to go back and chance islander vs pirate items. :)
@Stellar You need to click the names after direct to collection, like book or foods. :D

Didn't we have like 2 or 3 warnings?
Also, for people still complaining at the islanders/pirates point being expensive, it was a extremely tedious plot, and no matter how hard you worked, you could only buy from one of the two shops, not both.

Man am I glad I don't want anything above the 13mill line. I'm curious why the Malice is so much? Is it a weapon? I'm actually really happy that all the things I want will be obtainable sometime in the future!! :)
Wow, a lot of the prices are a lot cheaper than I expected, especially Malice! I need so many wears that I'll probably start buying them slowly. I haven't even touched the Pirate and Islander sections yet.
I was hoping to see a news post about Alegarten starting since it only runs for 6 days. Can't wait to see the new wearables.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....
I totally forgot about that!!! :(

those prices should be extraordinarily high, they're much rarer items and they were harder to get to begin with. If people want something they can save up for it. There's not an item in there that can't be saved up for, that's the point of the shop. If someone wanting an SoSS wants to save 3b, someone wanting books can save the 50-100m or however much it ended up.

Firstly, I'd like to say pretty well done on the pricing, that's pretty reasonable BUT, I think MUCH more consideration should be taken of current market prices. This shop is meant to be a last resort when there are no more of an item to be found for sale, or when people are trying to make significantly more than a fair profit hoarding up copies. This shop is effectively a price ceiling. This shop means those prices are the highest these items will ever be worth again. That needs to be considered more, clearly. Most of these items were readily available and there was clearly tens of thousands of RD points waiting to be used up still. There's not much reason any items really should have ended up under current market value. Overall it's a good job though, people have been dying for this, I'm not exactly sure why but meh.
Also to the people complaining because some people forgot or didn't know etc about their existing points being deleted. That's entirely on them, not staff and that's that.

When I click Direct to collections it just adds Direct to Collections: to the url but nothing on the page changes. I'm sort of new-ish to Subeta though so I'm not sure what was actually supposed to happen instead, but I assume not that.
Might get mixed feelings about this from people, especially if people have bought stuff from the Islander/Pirate shops but I do think that prices should be modified based on what the RD prices are. The twain just does not meet. The RD prices are realistic whereas the other shops aren't.
For people who have bought from the other shops, maybe they could be given 14 days to make a ticket, Syaff can check and see if that item did come from the Islander/Pirate Antique shops and they could get a refund for the difference between prices, or they could be given a full refund and the item deleted from the account so they can buy anew whatever item(s) they were refunded.
Just a thought because as it stands right now, the original two shops' prices are extraordinarily high

Prices are realistic however I'm not sure if the sP sink is going to work at the level which is needed for this economy D:
Just wish I hadn't double-bought a Takra when I was clearing out my RD points accidently :c then I wouldn't have to save for my last item!!

I hope you'll never do a reading drive again - I sure wasted a lot of effort and sP, only to be forced to buy stuff I didn't want and then see items at cutthroat prices for everyone later :(.
I know, nobody forced me, but still...
