  • RL Vendor Diving (Wendy's)

    Ever hear about the Wendy's cups with air travel points on them? My wife has been obsessed about these for three weeks. Besides using any excuse she can to stop by Wendy's to order more drinks she has started taking us by there so we can glance in thier trash bins. Last night she started talking about the 'spawn rate' of the cups in the parking lot and suggested we go hit another zone and drive across town to check out the other Wendy's. I was laughing so hard it nearly had me in tears since my wife hate's EQ but tolerates my playing and I never thought I would hear her uttering those words.

    But the diving has yielded results, she's gotten her roundtrip points and enough leftover for another one way trip already once she turns in her coupons. And I found a dollar bill the wind had blown into a bush in the parking lot. On Thanksgiving day we might join some friends and play a game of splitting into two teams and cover different territory to see who gets the most cups.

            Thanksgiving day raid, in a town of 300,000+ people with 6 Wendy's was 24 coupons. Best to date was 8 cups. Sadly it looks like I didn't notice a recent patch but the dollar bill has been removed from the loot table as I haven't seen it respawn though I carefully eyeball the same bush every time I pass it. Apparently the loot table is heavily laden with blue colored cigarrette packs, blue KFC pepsi cups, blue pepsi cups, blue Dairy Queen cups but the most spawned item noticed on roadsides were McDonald's cups.

            With a Wendy's in each zone it was found that one of them did not have the elusive coupon cup on it's ground spawn tables. Searching on side streets in what we started calling a 'hot zone radius' near each Wendy's yielded good ground spawns, sadly searching on college campuses near the Wendy's didn't yield anything, a roving npc must have scooped them up. Earlier in the week while grouping with my wife and mother n law we did a short adventure scouting out some of the potential sites and even my mother n law found a spawn (she's really good at spotting hawks on long journey's in the car also, competive type).

                        Just got back from Vegas thanks to these cups. Sorry mister Stonebow R. Jordan fan, no extra cups. I so hope Wendy's does this again.

                          I had started to collect them but apparently a little to late, since the expiration date was about a month away when I started. However, I did notice that if you got a refill that they gave you another cup. I think I got three from one drink purchase I hope they do this again, too.
