Efficient Purchasing Guide

## IAP (in app purchase) diamond value analysis with ranking

**Note: All of this analysis is done in USD prices before tax, the rankings should hold regardless of tax and currency conversions however price of in app purchases may differ in different regions so check if converting your price to USD matches up roughly with the USD prices shown here.**

1. Monthly login diamonds pack - $12.99 - 431 diamonds/$ value
	* 800 +120/day \*30 days = 4.4k diamonds, 60 packs of 50 energy, 3k energy, 1.2k diamond value, total 5.6k diamond value
2. Weekly login diamonds pack - $2.99 - 375 diamonds/$ value
	* 200+ 7\*100 = 900 diamonds, 7 packs of 80 energy, 560 energy, 224 diamond value, total 1124 diamond value
3. Monthly battle pass - $12.99
	* will attempt to calc value properly later but I would guesstimate it to be ranked here
	* Points per rank up scale up significantly after level 50 so you can’t actually max this out without buying other resources, NOT recommended for your ONLY purchase
4. One time investment - $30 - 317 diamonds/$
	* 400+500+600+800+1000+1200+2000+3000=9500 diamonds
5. Monthly super luck pack - $100 - 181 diamonds/$ value
	* 10k diamonds, 20 gatcha rolls (10 device, 10 pet, 1800 diamond value each), 3x 200% boosters (1.5k diamond value each), 18,100 diamonds value
6. weekly super material pack - $70 170 diamonds/$ value
	* 7k diamonds, 200 alloy material, 200 lost cores, 50 leg material
	* 200 alloy material, 50 for 200 diamonds from black market, 4 \* 200 = 800 diamond value
	* Alloy mats from pvp - 80 diamonds for 5 gladiator coins from black market which are 25 alloy material every time with 400%+ item drop, 3.2 diamonds each 3.2 \* 200 = 640 diamond value
	* 200 Lost core, 8 diamonds/core (80 for 10) from black market so 8 \* 200 = 1.6k diamonds value
	* 50 legendary material, 50 diamonds per from black market and dungeon merchants, 2.5k diamond value
7. Weekly pet/monthly device supply pack L - $30 - 170 diamonds/$ value
	* 13 gatcha rolls, 3k diamonds, 13\*160 = 2080 diamond value, + noah navigator, not sure price from black market
8. Monthly capture master pack $100 161+ diamond/$ value
	* 10k diamonds, 1 leg capture, 1 epic capture, and 20 ace hunter medals
	* 10k + 3.2k + 800 + 1.5k + 666 = 16,166 diamonds, legendary pokeballs are much more value than a bribe as you only have to encounter the monster rather than get a prompt so I underestimated the value as roughly 2x a bribe
9. Weekly pet/monthly device supply pack S $19.99, 140 diamond/$ value
	* 2k diamonds, 5 rolls (160\*5=800) 2.8k diamond value

	* 12k diamonds

	* Only buy during recharge events or when trying to get raw diamond count up for midas touch
12. Monster supply packs L and S -  100 diamonds/$ (ignoring monster gatcha rolls)
	* Only worth if you want the monster gatcha rolls, green and blue catchers are meh
13. Daily adventure pack L $5 108 diamonds/$
	* 150 diamonds 400 energy, 5 rad zone passes, and 60k gold
	* 150+ 400\*0.4+5\*40+20 = 540
	* 60k gold is basically 1 ordeal ticket ie 20 gems value
14. Daily adventure pack M $2 - 90 diamonds/$

		+ 180 diamonds

## Regular Store

* Only thing worthwhile are the green boosters for 10k gold each, since most other boosters don’t have xp, you can stock up on those, you can also use gold boosts alongside adam or bobs smile boosts

2. Medium Stamina Potion - 15k honor, 20 diamonds value
3. Medium EXP Tome - 100k honor, 300 diamonds value

## Best usage for consumable buffs

### Bob’s smile

```
800% Item drop, 800% xp, 800% capture rate, 50% move speed, 30 minute duration

```

1. Guild Wars (GvG)
	1. Chip material reward scales with item drop and you can clear a lot of gvg battles in the 30 minute span of time
2. Bounty Boss (WB)
	1. You can gain a large amount of xp quickly from adam as you can complete many runs in the short span of time, xp comes eventually anyways and beyond 200 is not that meaningful, however if you want specific drops this is still worthwhile
3. PvP
	1. You will get 25 alloy material from every win but weaker buffs can still achieve this
4. Radiation Zone (Raids)
	1. If you are very desperate for raid drops, have all your chips and mount sorted, this is an option but you won’t get many raids done in such a short span of time, especially with fairly low move speed bonus

### Adam’s Gift

```
400% item drop, 400% xp, 400% capture rate, 100% move speed, 2 hour duration

```

1. PvP
	1. This is enough item drop to get 25 alloy material from every win
2. Guild War
3. Bounty Boss
4. Radiation Zone (Raids)
	1. 400% capture rate so good chance to be prompted for legendary monsters you want combined with 400% item find

### Quantum Ark

```
200% item drop, 200% gold drop, 200% capture rate, 200% move speed, 24 hour duration

```

1. Ordeal
	1. Best gold drop bonus in game
2. Raid
	1. Raids take a long time compared othe other activities, this buff is accessible, long lasting, and gives great all around boosts

### Noah Navigator

```
100% item drop, 100% gold drop, 100% move speed - 8 hour duration

```

1. Trade towards quantum ark during events, 1:5 ratio, not worth using resources while on this booster, arks are twice as strong, give an additional bonus (capture chance), and last 3x as long so that’s more than 6x the value

### Wasteland Device

```
75% item drop, 75% gold drop, 75% move speed, 8 hour duration

```

1. Use for 1 per day for daily regen, can sustain with daily online time quest ace hunter medals, can use all your daily regen within one of these boosts
2. Trade excess in for noah navigators to then trade in for arks

## Monster shop

The npc is located to the north part of the city, near the refining npc. Raid epics are the best way to go, 4k gold per persuade, 1/8 chance to persuade, 32k gold average per raid epic, epics trade for 10 monster shop currency, 2k monster shop money for a legendary, so 200 raid epics per legendary, 6.4m gold per legendary, 26 5 ticket ordeal runs (250k gold per run), 2.7k diamonds of ordeals per legendary. This does not factor in the diamond cost of running the raids, this is assuming you turn auto persuade epics on while running raids anyways.

Best legendaries to trade for are alloy shark and death spiral, hard to get materials part of top tier monsters

## Fishing Shop

* 5 Gladiator Tokens - 1400 seashells, 100 diamonds value
* 1 Skeleton Key - 2800 seashells, 200 diamonds from shop
	+ You would not normally buy with diamonds but this is still the best option if you don't need alloy material or pvp medals. Each skeleton key gives 25k-100k gold, 0-5 legendary material, 0-12 epic material, and misc. gear you would typically find in chests.
* Medium EXP Tome - 1400 seashells, 300 diamonds value
* 50 Chip Material - 15,000 seashells
* 50 Alloy Material - 15,000 seashells
* 1 Wasteland Device - 15,000 seashells
