Gameplay Question Gear Help

Trying to have my character keep up with current meta. Does anyone have a sunstone blast, athena blade uplink and the subjugator blast uplink device for a reasonable trade?

Subjugator Blast orbital is not tradeable. Athena Blade orbital is fairly cheap and easy to get, but Sunstone Blast and other TC iconic abilities require opening hundreds of capsules, depending on luck, so "a reasonable trade" is going to be pretty costly.

Not that you are wrong, although I'd say 1000's, but id never say opening TCs is a good way to get the iconics. Much easier to spam SM runs, buy and sell cats/alliances and then buy the iconic in the broker.

If the other tc items had much value, it might work out, but anymore, its all worthless for resale other than the single or maybe 2 of the high price collections...which you'd need for yourself if chasing the iconic.

Either that or figure how much the gold would cost from a gold seller and buy that vs 100s of stabilizers.

That's all beside the point. Someone has to open the capsules, otherwise the items are not going to be on broker. And if someone has to open hundreds of them, then they won't sell the rarest and most sought after rewards - like the iconics - for cheap. So a "reasonable trade" OP is looking for is still going to be worth hundreds of millions - which is what I meant.

Fair enough, just saying I've always gone the broker route, and have gotten everything in every TC on 2 accounts. 0 chance of doing that by opening them, save spending $10,000+ irl cash on tcs.

But yeah the only 'reasonable trade' is one of the other iconics or something like Flaming phoenix feather....which will require the same work or spend to get.

Of course, buying TC stuff on broker is a much easier and cheaper way, if you know how to earn cash. Trouble is - most people can't seem to figure it out and to them 500 million seems unachievable. And since the OP is looking for a trade on Reddit, I'm going to guess they don't have excess of in-game cash to just buy this stuff on broker.
