Beam of Light exchange

The Beam of Light even is over soon, so here is my opinion on what to exchange them for. 

50k kyanite worth approx. 33 balens, so here you get 6.6 balens per Beam.


40 crystals worth 16 balens, so here you get 1.6 balens per Beam.


2 Fashion cores worth 540 balens (usual sale price*), so here you get 41 balens per Beam.
* Please note that with the recent Violet exchange event, you could get Fashion Cores even cheaper.

40 sepu worth 200 balens, so here you get 10 balens per Beam.

A cloth worth 300 balens, so here you get 10 balens per Beam.


A wing is sold for 1600 balens (I dont say it worth that much) so here you get 20 balens per beam.


A +40 mount worth 8k balens, so here you get 40 balens per Beam.



There are a few things you can notice. Even without doing the usual math, you would think that Sunshine Pack's value is far above 35 balens. Well: it's exactly 42.41 balens, but that's just an average value, and suppose that you bought 500 chests and got exactly 1 Cloud Sailor. If you were unlucky and don't get a sailor, your average value will be only 26.41. So although it looks great, it's not so. (you can bet 7road employs a few really good mathematicians).

Second is about the Fashion core. We can say that the Fashion core's value was simply reduced from 400 to 270. This was a logical step, since now you need a lot more for clothing refinement. At 400 apiece, it didn't worth it. At 270, it was okay if we still say we are willing to pay 10 balen per +1 BR. However, there was a violet box exchange recently. Based on Cosmos statstics, you could get 3.5 violet essence per box, so 1 essence cost 7 balens which means 1 Fashion Core cost only 140 balens. If we suppose the Volet exchange event will be back in the future, the Sunshine Packs worth even less.

Thirdly, do not forget about my previous post on prices getting cheaper and cheaper. This event was a fine example. Mount and cloth was cheaper than before, boxes were better value. Let's hope this trend keeps up :)

Conclusion: if you were a casher, you should have gone for the Cloud Sailor, it was a good buy. If you are a free player, you should definitely exchange your Beams for Fashion Cores. I do not recommend buying cloth: the glistering set is sold for 900 balens just 2 months after you could get them for expensive event pieces. These will be for sale soon.
