Hey all f:grin

I was wondering about the amount of money which r spend on S cards.

So those who got full set of S cards (6 cards or less) how much did it cost u to get them?

Could it be really more expensive than getting r9 (1st cast)?

I Kinda tried to find thread about this, because im curious, but didnt had much luck finding one ;D





Thank you for your answers f:flower

    There is the luck factor so I don't know if you can really have an answer (or you need a lot and do an average).
    I still haven't got any S card myself.

    Depends on what you are after. If you want the complete neuma portal set (6 cards with the best combined stats) and you are looking at buying the war avatar packs directly from the boutique, then the cost far exceeds the cost of a full recast rank 9 set +12 with full josd *prior to the sirens of war (nation wars) expansion* on average.

    i.e. on the order of 10,000 of the war avatar packs from the boutique.

    War Avatars are heavily based on luck, which is something I strongly dislike.
    You need to be pretty lucky to get S cards and super lucky to get S cards that belong to a good set. Sets of two cards or three are possible but not as good as having 5-6 piece sets.

    I'm fairly sure it costs far more than R9 considering that War Avatars themselves are like equipping another set of reinfed/sharded R9rr on top of your refined/sharded R9rr, just play with Asterelle's calculator and you'll see what I mean.

    Don`t spend it, it`s a huge gamble, eventually you will regret it, there might be a few winners but there will be a whole lot of losers who attempt this, I gave up on catalysts also, so far blew 300m in them and never got even an A card, **** this!

    For any 6 S cards (ignoring which slots they go in or whether the sets match) the average cost would be 1000+ gold (if everyone didn't stop opening the packs until they had 6 S cards).

    In reality I imagine most people bought a fixed number of packs based on their budget. It is probable that most of them didn't spend that much and simply got lucky. Of course there will be far more people that spent the same amount and have little to show for it.

    Tried to look for an older thread, smb. described in detail how much everything would cost and so on, and the numbers were simply staggering if you needed, for example, a full nuema set! Maybe smb can find it, if some evil GM/admin hasn`t deleted it for the shocking reality it reflects and so people would try and spend their money on this sinkhole!

    You could get many R9 chars before get a full S cards set.

    Average cost would be 20 000 gold if you get the boxes from cash shop, for a 6 card nuema portal set. Even by spending 20k gold you are not guaranteed to get the complete set...

    Why do you have Kestra in Destroyer instead of Battle, where you could have 2/6 Nuema Portal?

    There's no bonus until 6/6 Nuema Portal and I like the blue stats on Anonymous Wiseman better.

    I spent 200 gold and got 1 A card. I'm not spending another coin on avatars until I get jades. Which is apparently going to take forever because they make DoD unnecessarily rare for no reason.

    The worst part about my cards isn't the bad luck with the packs, but the fact that the entire contents of my war avatar bag disappeared after one of the maintenance cycles and as you know I hadn't devoured any cards since I didn't realize that you can get the XP back when you devour upgraded cards.

    I have 3 S cards.

    Plume City Elder
    Lorelei(Nuema Portal set)
    Emperor Tsang.

    I've gotten them from under 20 FSP packs, which I consider very lucky, seeing there is a 2% chance to get them from FSP packs. Each pack costed 8m so a total of 160m. Do I think that amount of money was worth these cards? Yes, I do. S cards are extremely overpowered comparing them to C B or A cards.

    Have to use a S durability in battle slot

    You need approximately 2300 gold to have a decent chance of getting 6 S cards, based on 1.04% chance.

    You can convert the rest into real money or ingame coin to see the costs. In short, getting S cards = luck based.

    A and S cards have a random 1-3 leadership point requirement B cards have a random 1-2. You start with 10 default leadership points and every leadership point a card requires takes away so many leadership points

    Example. I have 10 leadership points. I equip a card that requires 2 leadership points. I am left with 8 leadership points. If you don't have enough leadership to equip cards that require more than you have available, you can upgrade at the War Avatar Master
