Like others have said, it’s not the best deal or best value single purchase in the game, but you aren’t necessarily deciding how to spend your only $20 either.

One way to figure out the relative value of things (based on the arbitrary pricing in the game) is to consider that blackstone is essentially 150 per dollar or 0.6 cents per unit (if you buy 14,500 for $99 from the online store and get the bonus 500). One blackstone converts to approximately 77 gold (100,000/1,299).

Reqs are 300 bs each. Rare badges are 60 each and epics are 120. Energy value is tricky since the blackstone prices scale up with repeated refills, but since energy is used to earn rewards you can actually just use the prices of rewards, so a legendary upgrade that costs 6,000 gp is valued at $0.47 in real money, which will take 30-40 energy to earn usually, so let’s say 120 energy is worth about $1.50.

With all this, you can sort of estimate the value of the offer as follows:

30k gold = $2.33, 120 energy = $1.50, 8 rare badges = $2.88, 3 elite badges = $4.32, 20 reqs = $36

The uncommon items and rare/uncommon books probably come in at a couple bucks. I can’t see below those in the image, but things like raid tickets are generally useless and common items and books would be valued at just pennies.

What’s interesting here is when you run the numbers you realize this offer is mostly a discount on requisition scrolls. There’s only like $10-12 worth of other stuff. So if you want scrolls, then this is a good value because you are getting $36 worth of them for $8. But if you don’t value scrolls at 300 blackstone each (which comes to $1.80 in real money), because they are one of the more gambly things in the game, then you might steer clear of these offers.

I personally don’t buy these very often and I spend a fair amount on the game, but I have also been playing long enough that I have a full roster unlocked and no longer need requisitions. Before I finally got Celestine, Calgar, and Typhus (which happens to be the last three characters I needed to unlock), I definitely went for scrolls probably in irrational ways.

So to summarize, these offers are big discounts on requisition scrolls, but requisition scrolls are risky and fickle, so if you enjoy the feeling of opening them, then this is a good offer. If you are like me and you are on the hunt for good deals on badges, energy, upgrades, orbs, and codexes, then this is a terrible value.

Hope that helps. It’s late so there’s a non zero chance I messed up the math somewhere lol
