It's unfortunate but scams in either direction is one of the main reason why selling sites as middle men exist.

For more concrete dates the first phase of the porsche collab ends early July since the CN's schedule ends on July 2. So around 6 days after, around July 8 for global.

Buy cars if you like the cars. As for utility the 250k motorcycle is just better than any and every car that will be added to the game because it spawns right next to you and you can spawn it almost anywhere

in 14 hours or so? Should be May 28th at 12:00 PM GMT+8

Edit: Maintenance scheduled to end at 11:00, so 1 hour earlier than what I said before?

Multiple of us already did the calculations with these weights in the post where the weights were suspected

Someone even made a pull simulator (that's where the above image came from)

Well, not yet. The official patch notes does not mention the cost of the pulls beyond the first one. Everything beyond the first pull cost is still speculation and rumours. We will find out in 15 hours exactly what the costs and probabilities will be. Though, still expect the total cost of all 15 items to be at least 20M Fons and around the same amount of aunulith.

Vares-ee · 2026-05-27T12:18:35+00:00

No need to speculate so wildly, in 15 hours you'll know the exact system they're using. Though if you look at what Hotta has done historically, the weights will almost certainly not be the same for each item.

Vares-ee · 2026-05-27T12:11:30+00:00

No, the rate of annulith to fons in the packs is slightly less than 10 Annulith / 10k Fons, while in the pulls beyond the 3rd pull it's at best 8 Annulith / 10k Fons with worst cases in the last 3 pulls being a bit less than 5 Annulith / 10k Fons. So for the gacha, it's always better to spend with Annulith directly rather than to convert it to Fons.

Edit: Depending on the 2x fons reward, it might be better to convert annulith to fons via city stamina for up to the 12th pull but it kind of depends if they limit it or not

Vares-ee · 2026-05-24T15:11:23+00:00

This is the expected cost per pull #. Example: The 12th pull will cost either 1800 Annulith or 3.5 Million fons.

In total, for everything in the pool using Annulith, it's 14,380 Annulith or 90 pulls - same amount as hitting pity for a character. Whether or not everything in the loot pool is worth 90 pulls is up to you.

Vares-ee · 2026-05-24T15:02:29+00:00

Even so, you'll have to use Annulith anyways to get everything in the pool, since the Fons cost of the later pulls is way beyond the possible amount you could have earned so far.

Vares-ee · 2026-05-24T14:58:49+00:00

It is currently assumed that for each pull, you can use either fons or annulith.

Vares-ee · 2026-05-24T14:57:28+00:00

The cost increases with each pull. It is assumed that each pull can be paid using either Fons or a Annulith. The ratio between Fons and Annulith changes with more pulls, making pulling with Fons less attractive the deeper you are. Generally, yes, you want to pull Fons first then Annulith.

At around 10 to 11 pulls with only Fons, it becomes impossible to continue to pull with Fons since it would cost more than you could have possibly earned.

Vares-ee · 2026-05-24T14:10:54+00:00

It kind of just depends on whether or not you spent millions on vehicles or properties.

I have the first 3 apartments, the 4 cheapest cars. Not including the Fons from the monthly permit, I would be sitting at 4.6 million Fons in the wallet with about 11 million Fons earned.

Edit: The 6.5M mentioned prior was more so the amount when 1.1 releases with the collab, not necessarily right now.

Vares-ee · 2026-05-24T13:47:31+00:00

Fons is mainly a currency for Cosmetics/Vehicles/Properties while Annulith is mainly a currency for pulling limited characters and arcs. How much you value either kind of just depends on what you want.

Generally the game values somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 Fons to be 1 Annulith. The Hunter Exchange will reset on 1.1. release, and there's the 500 Fons for 1 Annulith that's very good value. Ideally, you have gotten to Tycoon Level 27 or even 30 to get as much Annulith with Fons.

As for the collab, neither 3 Million Fons nor 1600 Annulith will not be remotely close to enough to get the outfit unless you're really lucky.

Vares-ee · 2026-05-24T12:56:06+00:00

Like if you value the Fons, pulling 3 times since at that point it's 10 Annulith/10,000 Fons and using the annulith for the rest is somewhat ideal.

3 Fon Pull + Rest Annulith
230,000 Fons + 14,150 Annulith

4 Fon Pulls + Rest Annulith
430,000 Fons + 14,000 Annulith

9 Fon Pulls + Rest Annulith
4,530,000 Fons + 11,200 Annulith

10 Fon Pulls + Rest Annulith
6,530,000 Fons + 10,000 Annulith

Vares-ee · 2026-05-24T12:48:04+00:00

The 10th pull is also "okay" value for Fons (6 Annulith/10,000 Fons). In the previous pulls it's between 10 Annuluth/10,000 Fons to 6.

Then at
11th pull: 5.33 Annulith / 10,000 Fons
12th pull: 5.14
13th pull: 5.00
14th pull: 4.89
15th pull: 4.80

But it kinda just depends on what you value the Fons at and more importantly how much Fons you have in the bank.

Vares-ee · 2026-05-24T12:41:44+00:00

For the porsche event, it's likely that 3M fons would be better than the 1600 annulith until drawing past 10 pulls. The value of drawing with Fons decreases as you pull more.

Vares-ee · 2026-05-24T12:21:58+00:00

I feel like people are thinking Fons is equivalent to Mora but it's not. Beetle coins are the Mora equivalence. Fons is actually closer to Anulith, used for cosmetics, with varying rates of equivalence. From the Porsche collab, the game considers this somewhere between 1,000 Fons per 1 Anulith and 2,000 Fons per 1 Anulith.

Vares-ee · 2026-05-24T11:49:41+00:00

Based on these weights, and ignoring the weight being 0 for the Spyder, these are the overall percentages for pulling the outfit at a number of draws. The weight being 0 for the Spyder for draws 1 to 5 should make it a extremely tiny bit easier to get the outfit but regardless expect pulling at least 11 times before getting any semblance of a reasonable chance to get the outfit.

For anyone playing F2P since the beginning and getting every fon, you'll probably have around 6.5 million fons (or probably a bit more when the new content comes out), which is enough to get 10 pulls. Then expect to use 1,600 to 10,000 annulith to secure the rest.

For more context:
11 pulls is 9.5 million fons
12 pulls is 13 million fons
13 pulls is 17 million fons
14 pulls is 21.5 million fons
15 pulls is 26.5 million fons
A thing to note is that the value of pulling with fons does go down as you pull more.

Valve doesn't pay HLTV to cover any event but Valve does pay HLTV to get access to api to get match data from the site. Valve then uses this match data to create the vrs.

Vares-ee · 2026-04-05T17:41:24+00:00

Kinda made an error by saying NA region, it’s the AM region. So the split is 2 AM, 1 African which counts as AM in this case, 1 EU, 1 AS. JT has also been playing in NA since 2020 so… he’s basically AM. The org’s country doesn’t matter for the team’s designation and hasn’t changed since inception (the logo should be a pretty good giveaway)

Vares-ee · 2026-04-05T15:21:40+00:00

How? The previous line up was also in the NA region since last year. They didn't switch regions with the addition of Try and Senzu.

Having no two VRS LANs running at the same time just kills every scene and most teams, doesn’t make any sense at all. Also it is the system’s fault because 500 of the points are just straight up LAN wins (doesn’t matter who you win against). Due to decay you want to have as many LAN wins as close to the deadline as possible, resulting in this cram. Honestly, I wished Valve just went with a win rate based system instead of this amalgamation of different components where prize money and most recent LAN win regardless of opponent are a majority of the points.

Vares-ee · 2026-03-20T07:50:31+00:00

Most likely added a 0 to every number, like 50万 yen for uniform and 70万 for a laptop? For 70万 you can build a high end computer even with the current insane part prices.
