There are today's specials - 2022-04-30:
Sacred Vial x3 - 10€ - Overpriced - this item, that's usually given for free on events, but was removed from current event out of greed
Pristine Oil - 10€ - Useless
Honing Oils - 5€ - We get these for free
Pet Packs - 5€ - Overpriced - Check the Sacred Vials for reason why
Overstuffed ... Pouch - 10€ - The amount in this bag won't help to improve on what we get from Soul Boost
Hongmoon Gem Powder - 5€ - Pretty useless...
Elite Hongmoon ... voucher - 20€ - This is an absolute robbery! We get the non-upgradable ones from Soul Boost
Hongmoon ... voucher - 15€ - Same reason...
This selection is absolutely garbage and a spit on people's face.
The real money price is based on this link: https://www.bladeandsoul.com/en-us/shop/ncoin
I'm calculating at 400 ncoins = 5€.
Even if something is less than 400 ncoins, you need to buy 400 ncoins - 5€ - to buy it.
Expanding on my opinion:
The presence of Pet Pods and Sacred Vials in the Today's Specials shows an absolute lack of self-awareness, a massive amount of greed and a disrespect to the playerbase.
You made an event that doesn't provide those items, while all others previously have, and now you sell it to us.
You made a problem and you're selling us the solution. Pure greed...

Regarding the gems and gem powders...
TL;DR: ANY GEM STUFF IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE IDEA TO BUY! FINISH SOUL BOOST INSTEAD!
Cold Storage provides us with Heptagonal Gem stones.
These are the costs to make each gem after:
Octagonal - 3 Hepta, 8 Gem Powder and 10 gold and 50 silver
Gilded Triangular - 3 Octa, 32 Gem Powder and 20 gold
Gilded Square - 3 Gilded Triangular, 128 Gem Powder and 40 gold
Gilded Penta - 3 Gilded Square, 180 Gem Powder, 180 Soulstone Crystals and 60 gold
Gilded Hexa - 3 Gilded Penta, 240 Gem Powder, 240 Soulstone Crystals and 80 gold
Gilded Hepta - 3 Gilded Hexa, 300 Gem Powder, 300 Soulstone Crystals and 100 gold
To make 1 Gilded Penta, it takes:
1 Gilded Pentagonal
Sub-total: 180 Gem Powder, 180 Soulstone Crystals and 60 gold
3 Gilded Squares
3x 128 Gem Powder and 40 gold
Sub-total: 384 Gem Powders and 120 Gold
9 Gilded Triangles
9x 32 Gem Powder and 20 gold
Sub-total: 228 Gem Powders and 180 gold
27 Octagonal
27x 8 Gem Powder and 10 gold and 50 silver
Sub-total: 216 Gem Powder and 84 gold
81 Heptagonal - From drops
Free
That gives us a total of: 1008 Gem Powder, 180 Soulstone Crystals and 444 Gold
On the 27th, NCWest was selling gold at a rate of 1:0.25:
Aka: 100 gold costs 400 hmcoins or 5€
To make 1 Gilded Penta, it costs you up to 20x Gem Pouches and 4x Secret Safe - up to 9600 ncoins or 120€
Why all this rambling about the Gem thingy? Well...
This is to show how utterly pointless and useless that "overstuffed" bag is.
If you want to get at the same level that you get from Soul Boost, you can either:
Spend about 120€ to make each gem, however, you need to do a trillion runs of Cold Storage to get enough Hepta.
Buy 1x Elite [...] Gem Voucher (1500 ncoins) and 5x Gem Voucher (5x1000 ncoins)
This is a total of 6500 ncoins, or 85€
Be incredibly lucky in Daily Dash and get 9x Gilded Triangle gems, which reduces the cost per gem to:
1 Gilded Pentagonal
Sub-total: 180 Gem Powders, 180 Soulstone Crystals and 60 gold
3 Gilded Squares
3x 128 Gem Powder and 40 gold
Sub-total: 384 Gem Powders and 120 Gold
Total of: 564 Gem Powders, 180 Soulstones and 180 gold
Up to 7x Gem Powder Pouches and 1x Small Safe = 40€
All of these assume you buy the gold and materials through official means, with ncoins.
If you want to have upgradable gems at the same level as what you get from Soul Boost, you will need to pay at least 85€.
If you want to upgrade from the Gilded Penta to the Gilded Hexa, you need to spend 3x 6500 = 19500 ncoins = 245€
Then you need 240 Gem Powder, 240 Soulstone Crystals and 80 gold per gem (6 gems total), which is: 1440 Gew Powder, 1440 Soulstone Crystals and 480 gold.
That costs up to 29x Gem Powder Pouches, 1440 Soulstone Crystals and 5x Small Safe.
I won't put it into ncoins and euros because lazy.
There is absolutely no reason at all to buy any of these.
Unless you have money just burning holes in your pockets, or you just are a Trillionaire.
