Ivar 9 Mega Bundle

Excellent.  Love the character, and for the first time in years there is a bundle in which every item I will use.  It even has swords without chipped blades! It's just a shame it's the wrong side of Christmas and before the January payday.

Can anyone familiar with Daz maths work out how much I should pay?

The front page price is $239.99 - 51% = 117.59

Orange banner #1, 'A thank you gift from us to you' -30%

Orange banner #2, 'A gift from Odin' -20%

The price in cart = $65.85

I have ADHD, I can't wrap my head around this.

Edit:  Forget it, I've done it. :)

    Did not get the 'A gift from Odin' message myself, I wonder what the criteria was.

    They seldom tell us.

    No Odin, no purchase. Valhalla has to wait for a better offer ;-)

    The math checks out. .49 x .7 x .8 = .2744 x 239.99 = $65.85. The way you calculate percentages off of something is to multiply it by the remainder divided by 100, i.e. 51% off means x .49.

    Also, I absolutely love the bundle, and like the Victoria 9 mega bundle, I want almost everything in it. I just can't justify the cost right now, both because of limited funds and not having an immediate use for any of it.

    The bundle should be properly named "Ivar, the hollywod viking" laugh

    Not much into Viking stuff at the moment, but the base character is awesome! Here some contemporary quick setups with just HDRI.

    I think the Odin gift is due to me owning all of the 'Viking Assets' already. Thanks for alerting me to the additional discount.

    A very nice bundle, sadly it is the time of the year when I have to keep my wallet as closed as possible. All the annual bills. crying

    Ivar's facial structure is very feminine looking to me.

    I agree. If I get him I will lower and thicken the brows and lighten the lashes at the very least.

    Will be buying...would have been nice to have had both banners as I buy anything medieval pretty religiously. But oh well. 

    Only thing that irks me is that this hair has popped up in promos yet again and hasn't dropped for sale. It's similar to older hairs, but appears to be of much higher quality (one on left) -

    Not played around with it myself but I have seen some people mentioning about getting better results by removing the limits and scaling the G9 feminine to -50% or -100% in similar instances.

    I'm glad you pointed that out! I own all but one of the items, so turns out it's actually cheaper for me to buy that item seperately for about $6 and then get an extra $16 off the bundle with the discount :)  Message came in immediately after, so can confirm it works

    I'm passing on him. I think his physique is too similar to Michael9's.

    G9 is still a likely still a year+ for me, if at all. Maybe when there's a skin converter for G8/8.1M& character converter I can buy that will let me mix in G8/8.1M characters and shapes.

    As someone who is kind up up there in years, I'm already aware that Valhalla awaits.  Thanks for the reminder though, Daz!

    His skin is quite different from M9 tho. I don't buy characters for their shape...I buy them for their skin.

    Ivar's skin is more like V9's than it is like M9's.

    Which is weird for a viking pack, because here in the Nordics people could dump milk on the floor and hide on top of it.

    Comparing them side by side in PS, they are very different. All three skins are distinct, which is why I have no qualms about having all three.

    All DO skins are very dark by default due to the sss settings...I will post pics with my tweaks shortly.

    'Twas tongue-in-cheek. There were plenty of non-Nordic vikings too. :)

    Perhaps. Although some of the clothing looks a little closer to the historical reality than is common in Hollywood depictions of Vikings. The "Viking Warrior Outfit" looks basically like something a farmer might wear -- which is what most of them probably were when they weren't off raiding. That belt looks wrong, though; Viking belts were narrow rather than broad.

    That's cool. I seldom use a character shape out of the box either. I haven't been able to do much with G9 I like, so it's still a pass for me.

    Here is a comparison of Ivar 9 out of the box...compared to some simple tweaks to sss (literally less than 30 sec to make the changes) - click for full size

    Oh that worked for me as well.  

    Don't get this:

    - Own 3 of the 4 Vikiing Assets. Only thing I don't own is the Boar which is a bundled item. Once I have that in cart it's nearly $14. Way too much for an item which was available < $4 already and which might lead to granting me $16 more discount. 
    - Also own nearly 2/3 of the Arm your Viking stuff, so the stuff I wanted I already have.

    As it is I might rather get a Blood Eagle than buying the Mega Bundle for > $80.

    Wow, that makes such a difference! (He's definitely Erik the Red out of the box)

    I used my Jan $6 coupon on the Boar.
