June big spender analysis

The previous big spender promotion was okay, let's see how good is the current one.

First, let's see the value of items:
gold: 1 balen per 50.000
daru. worthless
crypt token: worthless
mahra: 10 balens
whip: 2 balens
fate stone: 10 balens (if it's not maxed)
star sand and tear: since you need only a limited amount of these, and you can get them for free eventually, also you don't gain BR here, just your awakened sylph will be stronger, it's very difficult to assign a value. I will have 1000 star sand in a week or so for free, so I don't think there is much point in paying for it. Same for star tears, although it takes more time. The only importance of these would be when you want to evolve your second sylph. But you should do it only to win more in sylph arena, which gets you only sepulcrum, which is not such a big deal. Anyway, you should worth for yourself how much these goodies worth to you. To me, star sand 1, star tear, max. 2 balens.

Spend 2,000 Balens to receive: 200,000 Gold, 100,000 Daru, Crypt Tokens x80, Mahra x5, Star Sand x50, Gods' Gift x1
   value: 4 + 0 + 0 + 50 + 50 + 39 = 143 balens (7.1% bonus)

Spend 5,000 Balens to receive: 400,000 Gold, 200,000 Daru, Mount Training Whip x100, Sylph Sepulcrum x10, Star Sand x100, Gods' Gift x2
  value: 8 + 0 + 200 + 50 + 100 + 78 + 143 (prev. pack) = 579 balens (11.6% bonus)

Spend 10,000 Balens to receive: 800,000 Gold, 400,000 Daru, Soul Crystal x300, Mahra x40, Star Sand x150, Gods' Gift x4
  value: 16 + 0 + 150 + 400 + 150 + 156 + 579 (prev. packs) = 1451 balens (14.5% bonus)

Spend 20,000 Balens to receive: 1,600,000 Gold, 800,000 Daru, Fate Stone x300, Sylph Sepulcrum x60, Star Tear Shard x50, Gods' Gift x6
  value: 32 + 0 + 3000 + 300 + 100 + 234 + 1451 (prev. packs) = 5117 balens (25.5% bonus)

Spend 30,000 Balens to receive: 3,200,000 Gold, 1,600,000 Daru, Mount Training Whip x300, Star Tear Shard x100, Gods' Gift x10
  value: 64 + 0 + 600 + 200 + 380 + 5117 (prev. packs) = 6361 balens (21.2% bonus)

Spend 50,000 Balens to receive: 4,000,000 Gold, 2,000,000 Daru, Crystal Shard x800, Star Tear Shard x150, Sylph Sepulcrum x150, Gods' Gift x20
  value: 80 + 0 + 320 + 300 + 750 + 760 + 6361 (prev. packs) = 8571 balens (17.1% bonus)

As you can see, the only case when you get the minimum bonus they give during such promotions (25+ %) is the 20k pack. The question is, if there is anything in the shop worth buying.

  • You can spend a few thousand balens on the skills of your future evolved sylph.
  • You can buy god's gifts to get the scorpion mount and spend about 10k more.
  • "hot sales", sepulcrum is 4 times more than the realistic price, mahra is 2.5 times more expensive, don't buy those.


Conclusion: this promotion is no worse or better than the ones we see every month. If you have 20k balens you purchased earlier with some recharge bonus, need the scorpion, and your fate is not maxed out, it's okay to spend. But it's not so good so it worth to recharge 20k without getting a recharge bonus. you better wait, there will be better and better promotions as time passes.
