10 keys cost 1125. So 2x10 keys cost 2250.
So how is selling 1x20 keys for 2250 15% off? This reminds me of when you are at walmart and they have On Sale Now! signs and the regular and sale price are the same on the thing. And yes while we get a tech upgrade it is not the 15% off that is mentioned lol.

Keys might be 15% off. The Key Ring Bundle is a different animal. It's usually 2250 because of the inclusion of the Ultimate Tech Upgrades.

Good point. I just assumed if keys were 15% off it would include all types. You are most likely right though.

Yes that is obvious. If you look you will see that they listed the price of the key ring bundle in the post, which is what we were talking about.

It's probably a copy-paste error listing the non-sale price from when it was available but not on sale.

so why does it say "For a limited time only, starting "[today"], you can buy the 20 key bundle?

Two things you need to remember.

1 Cryptic are bad at telling the time
2 For a lot of timezones the clocks just flipped into summer time.

Second makes the first worse for them.

In this case they actually posted the info early (for once) rather than the usual seconds before and let it linger for as long as possible as they do with the flash sales.

I think I can clear this up for you guys. Sometimes the sales and items don't always hit at the same time even though they're supposed to. I've seen an instance or two where they was a slight delay although that rarely happens. If you think you should be getting a discount and didn't then I would advise filing a ticket with customer service as that's beyond my ability to do anything.

Now as to the key ring bundle itself and so on. The sale itself applies a 15% discount to keys and key packs, which would normally including the key ring bundle unless it says otherwise. The basic 10 pack of keys I don't think needs much explanation as it's a set of 10 keys you purchase. Next is the Key Ring Bundle which is 2 10 packs bundled together with an ultimate tech upgrade, thus you get 20 keys and an upgrade. The tech upgrade takes any single item straight to Mk XIV epic with no dilithium cost involved. Overall the Key ring bundle is the same price as if you bought 2 regular 10 packs, but is bundled with that tech upgrade. So assuming for sake of argument you wanted to buy 50 keys as a hypothetical, you could pick up 5 of the 10 packs and that would be fine. Or you could pick up 2 key ring bundles and a standard 10 pack, still get your 50 keys, but also 2 ultimate tech upgrades on top of that.

In terms of cost, it's the exact same as getting 2 10 packs ordinarily, but the added tech upgrade makes it have a bit better value. Hope that makes sense.
