If you ask yourself: ''are Lamps of Dazzlement worth opening'', look at this table and the comment I wrote.
*I won't add results of other players, since I want to be sure that the resulsts are 100% true
*This list will be updated every time I open a new one
Conclusion: Level 3: 181 opened, 175,64kk loss
After 178 level 3 lamps I got something of value (Slot Extender Medium, worth 85kk). Now after opening 181 lamps, spending 289,6kk.. If you count 10% cash back from the **** items + potions of luck and the 85kk I get for the SEM, I still have 175,64kk which I lost, opening level 3 lamps.
So, I won't open these anymore.
Level 4: 58 opened, 97,04kk loss
After opening 12 I've got Sigmetal EoF+7, which was worth 70kk. In total I've spent 185,6kk counting 10% cash back from the **** and potions of luck + the 70kk, I still have a loss of 97,04kk.
@T0pCat
I'm just opening lamps that I find, wanna see what it gets me if I open every lamp I get (it eventualy should spit out a eox+8 or perfect core X) and cover all costs for opening.
Buying lamps is not worth it (they would never release a 'easy profit'-system), but the question is about finding them, then opening them.
Spent over 100kk just on the opening money, did not even get back the 100kk, but I will keep opening them (if there is 1 good item every 500 lamps, it should end up in profit)

After 15 level 4 lamps I got a SigEOG+7.. up till now I still don't have any profit, 200kk+ spent on opening lamps.

At least you got a SigEof+7 o; The best item i ever got from a lamp was a SEL back with the normal chaos lamps.
@Acid
yah, that was the only time the lamps actualy brought profit + some people thought they still had to sell them for 250k in afk shop.. reseller's dream:P these new lamps suck out more alz than they return o.O
Cabal made these lamps so that you could get items out of it that you probably would never find by just playing, they didn't make them to get you to make profit (so if you really want profit you better sell them)
imo the fun and tension when you open them and the joy when you get something good out of it is worth the risk of the alz
@[GM]DeathAngel nice profit with the eof+7 ;O But well, if it only takes around 100 lamps to get it, then the price will go down an enormous amount, which isn't that bad, eof+8 is another story ;D
