Curious, how much does it take to whale yourself to the top from fresh?

Mostly a question to the whales but if anyone knows or have calculations in check feel free to answer.

Assume you just finished the whole main story and you're now a fresh lv 55 HM1. Just how much $$$ would you need to spend to gear up for the current endgame dungeons and other activities.

Also, how far would you get with a single purchase of $250 in NCoin?

The amount of money won't be able to get you straight to whale status sadly.

Like, if you use IRL money to purchase gold to spend on run carries, souls, etc. that will set you back quite a bit and won't immediately get you to "whale gear".

 

For example, let's say price, for the sack of answering your question, is 1:1 on F9.

 

A VT/SK carry run for mystic badge material will set you back 8k gold minimum (depends on the party too, they could set a different price) - which in turn is 8k NCoin which is already $100 USD and that's just the Mystic Badge.

Prior to this update, I think a fully maxed soul (True Cosmic, etc.) could go for 20k gold or more (can't remember the price exactly), now? A true tiger - I'm not exactly sure how much it will go for, but I'd say no less than 100k gold.

Your VT necklaces can go for ~2k gold, depending on the seller - excluding the entrance fee for said run.

Your BT accessories should run for about 800 gold minimum (100 on entrance - ~300 for each accessory) - and this is excluding another set for the awakened upgrade.

Your weapon to Baleful/Seraph Stage 1 to Raven Stage 1 will set you back minimum 2k gold (if you're purchasing the materials, it could go much much higher), Raven Stage 1 to Stage 9 will set you back thousands, if you're purchase the Raven King's Souls, materials, etc. Stage 9 to Aransu will set you back minimum 10k depending on the run carry price for the breakthrough material (ie. husk, barb, rancor).

 

BUT! Even with that, it will still take you months to get your gilded gems from Trove/RNG boxes, get your Hive Queen Heart's, Blackstones, soul shield and the Hive Queen Wings for the primers

 

And this is not even counting the Legendary elements and jewels you'll need to upgrade your accessories.

 

I...can't really add up the costs exactly, but hopefully this will give you a rough estimate.

Thank you, it's quite a mountain to climb the way you presented it. I'm comparing it to another old MMO that's P2W to see which one is more expensive.

[Ludicium]

No worries.

What you're asking isn't really P2W, it's Pay to Gear XD

But yes, the price is...quite high if you're purchasing the gold with NCoins. $250 isn't much at all to be honest, even more so when you consider that you have players who spend thousands on 1 Trove event alone.

reason why the game is in such a bad state.... when devs can make money on the whales like this they dont need to care about the other parts of the game or the other non whale players...

Ah, sorry, my bad, I meant "$250 isn't much at all in this game to be honest" - but yes, $250 is an insane amount of money for a game.

maybe not that much, but the amount of materials required to get to endgame is probably several thousand $

[Oupy]

if you thinking to   skip the farm and grind  , 

 

 250$ wont do ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤  ,   to reach vt gear u will at least need 1500$  and that's the starting to vt 

 

from cosmic stage 1 to true tiger it's 1200$+ and that's your soul only 

 

so basically if u wanna sped money and  skip the grind and farm open the wallet for 1500$ to start enjoying all the content available

 

250$ ain't a bad start but will get u nowhere maybe raven 6 max bracelet and the entry gear level and that's about it

If you complain about P2W here, you should check out games in CN servers, 2k$ dump is like an entry start lol
