Special Crate/Special Item Appreciation & Discussion Thread

[DPR]

I have a question about selling these:

If you have one or more of these "unique" items, can you sell all the other "normal" crates, leaving only unique items in a warehouse?

 

Yes i have all six rare Items in my warehouse.

http://rsg.ms/d3c96b7<-----socialclub.rockstargames.com snapmatic

 

I'm sorry for my bad english

 

Overall i have collected around ~270 crates only one at a time.

Total "output" 4.9 mil. normally i sell only full Warehouses.

I only have a M size one next to my Headquarter

Every ~40-50 crate or so was a rare Spezial Items (for me!! i play solo 1 by 1, each crate 2000$)

Normally i get one rare item a Day.

It makes no diffens selling all rare items at ones or 1by1.

i have sold all at ones and get about 735.000$ it was the same price as single crates.

also you don't need a call from the assicents, i only get one call from her, sometimes i get to the PC to do the next crate and see on the cool-down-timer the next rare items even the there is no way the click it (cool-down-timer T-2:00) i think she/he is only calling when you don't do the CEO stuff over a certain period time.

 

I 98% of the time i only play on a solo session when i do CEO stuff.

I lagged me out with a free andriod app called "Lag switch" google first hit

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hackershub.lagswitch&hl=de

 

it needs a few tries depending on your IT for me about 3 to 5 sec and 25-35% on bar-thing indicator (i think the app is like a little Lan-ddos thing, it interrupts the Trafik on the local wifi network between anythink and the router) its a funny tool with a lot of fun potencial

 

 

edit:

@ash on the PC in the warehouse you have 4 options for selling the first three are for the normal stuff and on the bottom you have the sell Button for your rare stuff but you can only sell all of your rare stuff in this warehouse. *i only have one!!

but i don't think you can manage all your warehouse from another warehouse but selling 555 rare items at ones sounds like the real deal for that achievement i want a Pegasus Death Star or at least a Falcon

 

I will buy a Large one for the normal stuff and my Medium ones near my Apartment is for my rare goddies

because the rare items are spamming my Warehouse and degress the max output on the normal sales.

to keep it nice and clean. the head quaters are a diffrend story

and at the last 7 Days i get every day one

maybe its something like the rare Beer-hat crates? (one output at a certain period time)

where its be share with the hole map?

the chance to get one is much smaller if this is the mechanism behind it.

I've bought a small warehouse for storing only special items.

 

Do you get any bonus for selling a full special item warehouse?

 

Can you even have more than one special item of the same type? e.g. Two antique pocket watches?

I have 3 Special Items; diamond, bigfoot hide and the egg. I can sell them all in one trip at $401,000. You cannot sell them individually. You cannot move them to other warehouses. Personally I'm gonna collect them all in my small warehouse. I can also confirm you seem to get a special item call after delivering 45(ish) crates across all warehouses... whichever warehouse you deliver your 45th(ish) crate to is where the special item will appear.

 

Also my large warehouse got attacked after only minutes of filling it to capacity. You get a call from your assistant telling you to hurry to your warehouse, you are provided a way point and a health bar (time limit) which steadily drops until you kill the 10 NPCs. My bar was less than 50% by the time I killed them all but luckily they only managed to steal 23 crates... from what I read on here 40 crates is the max. they can steal is that right?

[dewtech]

I've only had one, was a gold Minigun, bought for 21k sold for 115k

I'm sure it's something I could have got in ammu-nation though!

I got my one functional rare-item phone call after my 44rd purchase (44 purchase-transactions, 83 total crates), so that hypothesis may hold true.

I'm up to 66 now, so I see what happens around #86.

I envy you folks. I've been called about a special crate pick-up four times now & my damn assistant has lied about every one of them.

[iKarimster]

Has anyone here got more than 3 special items stored? I currently have 3 of them and I've also been delivering a lot of special cargo (I filled up two large warehouses, last time I delivered a special item is when both warehouses were still under 10% cargo). I'm wondering if owning 3 special items is the limit?

Look about 3 posts before yours: all 6 items in the same warehouse in photo

Yeah, just saw it. Looks like I'll have to deliver single crates everytime as the guy above did. Thanks

Wondering why would you would hold onto the rare special items, they would be at risk of being stolen from NPC gangs. I think they're just a nice little token for some quick easy cash. No point in holding onto them, IMHO..

[o_Marvelous]

I've not gotten any calls either. This combined with the repeating buy missions makes me wonder if something is wrong or glitched. I've gotten the "get to the truck only to find out three thieves on foot have already taken it" buy mission three times last night.

yep true ~300 crates missions completed and 7 rare less than legal goods collected

300/7= ~43

 

here is a screenshot from the cool-down-timer with a rare item. (Ps4)

today got my 3rd special item, the gold minigun!

thats a smart decision but i but I suggest you save your rare things in a mid size warehouse because my fear would be that NPCs robbing my Pot of Gold, just because he was charged over a longer time on one half.

 

you get a Bonus when you selling your things in a session with more People in it "gamer_multiplikator" but we all know the adrenalin rush by selling normal things in public session and there are better things to be as a 700k Red slow dot on the sky flying in weird circles

i'm not sure if there is a achievement (1?/1?,42/42,111/111)

in my hole time i have min. one in my warehouse so... maybe.... but then we would have heard about it

 

 

it might be possible if you can select the warehouse on the buying site in which your second antique pocket watch has to go.

if this is the case than i would say yes you can. but if there is no way to choose the warehouse than im not sure i mean i had all six no doubled its like getting a panini sticker album full with only minimum of the sticker-pack how high is the chance

maybe evey warehouse has a "History" so you can't get a doubled thing and when you have all six in one it stops

maybe maybe

 

 

any good experience with a large warehouse a round Arcadius Business Center?

[stayprivee]

I got a call from the assistant about the special item, but when I got to my office all that was available was the standard cargo

[ash-274]

I experimented with force-quitting the game during a sale (just two regular crates). When I reloaded it I had lost one of the regular crates but my Pocket Watch had turned into the Russian Egg. On the warehouse computer, it still had the option of selling it, but it still had the $150,000 value of the pocket watch.

 

I'm not going to try to force-quit again.

[SweetG420]

I still think the rare items are random. I have 5 full large warehouses (555/555) crates. And I have only had 4 rare items so far, and 1 raid (lost 3 crates).

[Gridl0k]

Can you still move around your office?

Yeah, the clutter stopped at around 150 crates I think.

[dewtech]

Got my second one, unsure of number of crates leading up but I was on about $1.6 million earned, I'm using a single small warehouse

 

 

Think it was $19k to buy, sells for 95... Not sold it yet.

Does anyone have info about the time when you get another special item? My friend counted purchases between them and said it should be every 25. Which kind of matched with mine. But now I am waiting on my 6th item since almost 50 purchases (a 3 crates). I screwed up a few, does that set back the counter, if something like this exists??

[malcolmfunktion]

I got a golden mini gun...didn't occur to me to look for it in the warehouse...I may have sold it...if its in my other (almost full) warehouse I'll have a look and take a pic.

 

Edit: scrolled up and saw someone already has and took a pic.

at this moment i got 4 special items and dont think there is a pattern...

 

got my first on my purchase #47, got the second one on the purchase #96, got the next one on the purchase #109 and got my 4th on the purchase #127.

 

looks really random to me!

I don't think these exist. It's been two weeks and over thousands of players that post here no one has seen anything beyond the known six. Rockstar could add more later.

I have already put together a list in this thread. "Ornamental Egg" goes under Arts & Antiques with the "Rare pocket watch" The only one I'm not sure about is the "Rare film reel". Not sure if it falls under Electronic Goods or Arts & Antiques aswell.

[Gridl0k]

^ A Faberge egg is jewelry, unless you have some reason to put them in categories other than guesswork?

[We Are Ninja]

I've gotten five special items so far between two warehouses; a medium and a large. There doesn't seem to be any discernable pattern/conditions for when the special items become available, aside from the warehouses not being full...
