No idea what's coming tomorrow, but I hope it includes the Double XP Boosters on Beta. And maybe if they put the Rocket Board on sale, I'll remember to buy it this time.
But not the Magic Carpet. That thing is just tacky.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
Personal storage, Enhancement trays and Personal salvage will go on sale for the first time..... LOL not. They will never put that valuable stuff on sale ever.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
They have said that eventually all items in the market will be on sale at some point. I expect extra Storage to go on sale the day they pull the plug on the game.

I still hold that they'll be on sale either as part of an anniversary special or a later Black Friday or "winter holiday" special. But no, they're not going to go on sale willy-nilly (though I was really surprised when Character Slots were on sale a couple weeks ago... yet sadly I forgot to actually purchase them).|

Anyway, best bets for 2 hours from now are either the new Double XP boosters or the Panther Transformation. Still personally expecting Staff to be the last week of the month, to hit close to the anniversary.

Tuesday again... that means it's NEW STUFFS DAY!
This week, we get some new Store-Bought Travel Enhancements: Freebird, Celerity and Blessing of the Zephyr (all of which are 25% until next Monday night).
Quite a few sales this week, too!
Character Slots are on sale for 50% off, as are the LKT-1700 Rocket Pack temporary jetpack power, the Warwolf Whistle temp power and the 5 packs of Dual Inspirations (Protected, Precise and Invigorate).
We've got Respec Tokens and Server Transfer Tokens for 25% off, along with Enhancement Unslotters, XP Boosters and the aforementioned newly-added Travel Enhancements.
The spreadsheet and OP are up to date with the current info, though there might be new additions or changes made by tomorrow afternoon, as happened with the last two weeks.

The XP boosters listed here are the x2 variety for N hours?
What are the 25% boosters called? I thought they were just called XP boosters as well.
I've already forgotten about most of you

No, the ones that are on sale the +25% boosters. The only new stuff that made it into the store last night at midnight are the new Travel SBEs.|

The ones on beta (that are NOT on live as of the time I write this) are called "Double XP Boosters" and have associated time limits.

Tuesday again, time for another edition of NEW STUFFS DAY!
Today we've got the highly-anticipated release of the Staff Fighting Power Set for 800 Paragon Points! Bring stick-spinning justice to evil-doers (or for the purposes of wickedness, if that's your thing) with the new melee power set available as a primary set for Brutes, Scrappers and Stalkers or as a secondary power set for Tankers. Use Staff Mastery* to focus different energies through your weapon, choosing to increase the damage, reduce the endurance costs or lower the recharge times of your attacks as fits the situation!
* Note that Stalkers do not get the option to change Staff Mastery "forms," and will instead be locked into the Form of the Body for bonus damage purposes and have access to Build Up.
The Martial Arts costume piece bundle also makes a triumphant return to the store with a standard costume bundle price of 400 PP, but is on sale for 300 PP this week. (Only the bundle itself is new to the store; the individual Martial Arts costume pieces have been available in the market since Freedom launched this past September.)
For sales this week, we've got a bunch of melee damage Store Bought Enhancements for 50 (yes, FIFTY!) percent off, including Mako's Bite, Kinetic Combat, etc., and defense-related Store Bought Enhancements for 25% off. Ninja Run is also 25% off, and extra Character Slots are on sale again this week for 25% off as well.
I'm not completely certain, but I think they either added a couple Defensive sets to the market (namely Kismet and Gift of the Ancients) or I missed them in an earlier update. OP and spreadsheet have been updated regardless... I just wish I had time to play my new Staff/Stone Brute a bit before bed! x_x

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
I'll be updating late tomorrow. Have to get up early to be somewhere around 7:00ish (that's Eastern... yes, only 6 hours after when I'm writing this). I'll try to jump on for a few minutes somewhere in between my shower and my ride to do a quick write up, but expect it to be a little dodgy at until I get home to do the full update tomorrow afternoon.

It's Tuesday, that means it's NEW STUFFS DAY!
First of all, ho. Ly. PANCAKE. Storage increases are on sale this week! <3 <3 <3
Now that I've gotten that off my chest, let's talk about what's new. This week, we're getting 50% XP Boosters (1 hr at 240 PP, 4 hrs at 720 PP, 8 hrs at 960 PP) and Double XP Boosters (1 hr at 360 PP, 4 hrs at 1080 PP, 8 hrs at 1440 PP). Can't help but feel those are priced a little bit high, and also, Double XP Boosters are only going to remain available until April 30th, at least for now.
We've also got the Hecatomb Store-Bought Enhancement Set added to the store at 400 PP per enhancement (or 2000 for the whole set), and it will also only be available for a limited release until April 30th. (They are on sale for 50% off during this release period.)
The Who Will Die?: Complete Collection Ep. 1-7 was also released today at a standard price of 2400 PP, but is also only available until April 30 and is 50% off until then.
Now on to the sales... and it might almost be shorter to mention what isn't on sale this week! 
- Character Respec tokens are on sale for 50% off (400PP)
- The "Create a Praetorian" feature of the Going Rogue expansion is on sale for 25% off (900PP)
- Enhancement Increase (1 of 2) and (2 of 2) are on sale for 25% off (1200 PP each). Each is an extra tray of enhancements (10 slots) that each character on your account can carry, to a max of 30!
- Salvage Inv Increase (1 of 10) through (10 of 10) are on sale for 50% off (400PP each). Each gives you an additional 10 Invention Salvage worth of storage space that each character on your account can carry!
- Recipe Inv Increase (1 of 10) through (10 of 10) are on sale for 50% off (400PP each). Each gives you an additional 5 Recipes worth of storage space that each character on your account can carry!
- To let you celebrate the 8th anniversary of City of Heroes in style, the New Year's Firework Emotes (Rocket Flare, Bloom and Sparkle) are back until April 30th and sale for 25% off (30PP each).
- The original XP Booster temp powers that increase XP by 25% for 1 hour each are on sale for 50% off (1x @ 60PP, 3x @ 150PP, 5x @ 225 PP)
- Enhancement Boosters are on sale for 25% off (5x @ 150PP, 30x @ 675PP, 90x @ 1350)
- The Hecatomb Store Bought Enhancements are on sale for 50% off (200PP individually, or 1000 PP as a set)
- The Who Will Die?: Complete Collection Ep. 1-7 bundle is on sale for 50% off (1200 PP)
Definitely won't get all this added to the spreadsheet or update the OP before I have to leave in a few minutes, but I don't think I'm going to mind the 2+ hours it's going to take to get everything added and formatted correctly this week.

I'm actually tempted FOR ONCE and the prices still seem stupidly exorbitant 
I've already forgotten about most of you
Quote:
So, one would want to pay the least amount of Paragon Points for the most percentage boosts. If we calculate the Points needed for a 1% XP boost for 1 hour, then the 5 Pack of 25% XP Boost at 50% off costs 1.8 PP for a 1% XP Boost for 1 hour.|

|
Because of that deep 50% discount, the only version of the 50% or 100% XP boosters that can match that is the 100% XP Boost for 8 hours, which is also 1.8 PP per 1% XP Boost for 1 hour.
Any other version of the XP Boosters will cost you 2-3 times more per percentage per hour.
So, to save Points, either buy the 50% discounted 5 Pack 25% XP Boosters, or the full price 8 Hour 100% XP Booster.

Whew, OP and spreadsheet have been updated.
I also made a quick pass and added some comments in the "More Info" section of the spreadsheet to several things that were missing that info, for the sake of newer players who might be unfamiliar with certain terms. I also updated the More Info text for the boosts to calculate their PP cost per hour and list exactly what buff(s) they give (things were left a little vague previously).
