So I did get the whole set on Beta. I was very surprised to arrive at that point, I didn't really think that I would. So first off, thank you to those who posted spending strategies for best offers, that was very helpful. I was partway along the path that would lead to the very disturbing avatar, with 3 bad offers I had respawning, and 74 DCs remaining. Who knows, I may have ended up with the Dwarven Queen avatar for Beta, if I had gotten up at 1:30 in the morning to check for dropped chips, and see where the League was headed. By the way, I have those numbers, from a post on the Beta Forum.
