Honestly, the watch, ring, and flask (for it's secondary effects) are the only ones I really care about.
The rest have various levels of ick to them that I ain't comfortable with.
The spectacles are cool in concept, but I really don't give much of a shit about seeing other people's thoughts or inner workings. My soul is worth more than fancy green eyes.
The Ring is hella OP. Why it made the list.
Ain't a huge fan of the "unrivaled self confidence" bit, sounds like code for "Massively egotistical fuckprick" and Not A Fan.
But the rest is worth it.
I know right? I read a story once that featured a magical artefact that gave you ultimate control of the universe, except for your eye colour which it makes pumpkin orange as a signifier of holder.
Wacky eye colours are fun, if the glasses didn't cost my soul I'd absolutely use them for that purpose and that purpose alone.
Hmm. Wallet seems kinda underpowered? You’d have to use it for two and a half years without spending any of the money to even become a millionaire. I suppose the credit card rule would help a lot, but you couldn’t use it to wipe out a non-card-based debt, and it’d take a while to build that card limit up. The cash feature would barely be enough to pay medical bills in my two-person family, if I didn’t have good benefits.
dude just get a card from/for you, your sister, your father, your mother, your friends, your cousins, you friends' families, your cousins' families, your uncle's friend's dog's friend's owner, etc and have them all spend as much as they want but giving you even just 10% of the card limit on each card and then BAM wipe it all and start over. Hell do multiple cards on each person. Nothing in it says it has to be your card.
You'll be a trillionaire in hours, to use any of these items to their fullest you just gotta think with the mind of the sin they are embodying.
Wouldn't work, as you'd wind up making money meaningless with the abuse of it. Now... if it were on a gold standard, and it siphoned from a finite amount of wealth, totally different. Powers it WAY up, yet still does retain draw-backs, namely... if you take everyone's shit, you're also going to piss them off.
Also, with that, get rid of the $1,000 limit... as that limit was stupid to begin with.
One, you don't give a shit at all, you've already got everything you'll ever want in your life forever.
Two, even if we assume somehow you care afterwords about money anymore,
that doesn't make "money meaningless" it inflates one currency. You'll notice it auto changes the currency when you go somewhere new.
For the currency to even have any actual changed done to it that would require someone to even notice the difference which takes time especially in a country ran by bureaucrats and corporations. If you hyper inflate the US dollar and take with you as much as you can physically fit into the wallet with you to canada it'll change to the equivalent value in Canadian currency.
That also assumes that the erasing of debt leaves any record or proof of the debt ever having existed in the first place.
The watch of Sloth.
I was very very tempted by the ring of Pride, but there's a problem: it'll take the fun out of learning and I'll lose the taste of effort, which is going to do me more harm than good. The spectacles of Envy are cool (and the green eyes are not a little part of this) but I don't want to see everyone's bad sides first. I don't need the wallet as long as I have a job that pays rent and bills, and if I don't I can still rob a bank with my watch of Sloth (or go all Robin Wood on their ass). The others are absolutely not interesting to me.
But I've always been fascinated by time and I could live in such peace! Someone scary? Bam I stop time and get away. Tired at work? 2hr nap! Or walk, or jog. Cat on the driveway? Stop time and get it away! Go to Cannes and borrow some cool ass clothes, make pranks, get saved and save some people in case of emergency (fire, shooter,...)
The gun. I forgot how I played it out, but I'm 90% sure the last time I saw this I picked the gun and found a way to take everything else as well.
Edit: that was a different one, the last version of this had you pick 3 I think. In that case, the flask.
The ring, of course! I have exams to get through. Although I’m also tempted by the glasses - not to see peoole’s secrets, but to see what they think of me.
I can make due with just the ring. Everything else can be compensated with sufficient intelligence and skill... which I'll use to murder and steal from all Mexican and Columbian drug cartels. Sending fresh souls to my boy exijewa (pronounced "Zjay wah") who brokers them for towels.
Since I'm a greedy human, I'll take them all even if I must sacrifice the blood of the innocents. And virgins, you gotta get virgins, demons love virgins going to hell.
Please. Do you know how useless virgins are in Hell? Completely! Only fun some demons have is by tossing them into the orgy pit after making genitals invisible and watching frustration. Bored after 2 mins.
I found giving the introverted ones a battle axe and saying "your bullies from all your life are down here. Find them, and there's no consequences for anything you do." Then turn them loose. Wow, just... wow. Puts senior demons to shame. Few months of going all out usually sets them free, transition to purgatory with clear conscious. They become happy little trees.

Also, free money.
