4 day offer Monster Hunt Bundle 09-15-16
25 Shield Tokens, 25 Sword Tokens, 25 Staff Tokens, 10 Dire Boar Traps, 100 Energy $13 CAD
All of the following is in Canadian Funds, but I assume equivalent percents for currency are practiced.
Just my thoughts on this offer:
Staff, Sword, Shield Tokens 3 Gems each if purchased in Trader Wagon = 75 Gems/3 = 225Gems
10 Dire Boar Traps @ 5Gems/pc = 50Gems
--------------
275Gems = 13.75CAD regular Gem price making the 100 Energy "free"
**Another option to look at is this:
Regular price $13 gets you 250Gems (at regular price), with that you can buy 50 Dire Boar Traps (@5Gems/pc with 8 potential swings per unit)
With a possible 8 HP,
Lets assume an average of 5 actual hits per mob spawned = 5 Shield Tokens.
Once battle is done, Staff, Sword and more Shield tokens can drop.
Let again assume a average of 2 Sword and 2 Staff (I've seen up to 4 of either so far) and an additional 1 Shield = 2 SW, 2 ST, 2 SH
So, at the end of 1 Dire Boar ****, an average 7 SH, 2 SW, and 2 ST per trap.
$13CAD (for Gems purchase at regular price) = 50 traps could on average net you 350 Shield Tokens, 100 Sword Tokens, 100 Staff Tokens
This method requires you to use whatever energy you have on your own through producers or hourly replen and would be the only "downside".
The ability to purchase Dire Boar traps in the Market (Nature -> Other) also only shows up after completing required quests and level requirements so this deal maybe be more attractive to certain rulers.
I feel higher level kingdoms will have a much better result with the second option above.
Also with the second option, it doesn't necessarily require spending any money, rather Gems received through Trades, game downloads, adventures, etc.
**Edit - 3rd option could be Legendary Traps (@25Gems/pc)
$13CAD -> 250Gems -> 10 Leg. Traps
Looking at thread here, let's assume bad luck and you only spawn 10 Blue Dire Boars and no Glimmer Trolls
With a possible 30 HP
Lets assume an average 19 hits = 19 Shield Tokens
Once battle is done, Staff, Sword and more Shield tokens can drop.
Lets again assume an average of 2 Staff, 2 Sword, and 2 more Shields
So, at the end of 1 Blue Dire Boar trap, an average 21 Shield, 2 Staff, and 2 Sword.
With not-so-great luck potentially:
$13CAD (for Gems purchase at regular price) = 10 traps could on average net you 210 Shield Tokens, 20 Sword, and 20 Staff Tokens, but with the potential of a Glimmer Troll (90HP) spawning which could easily give you more Sword and Staff randomly throughout the fight and another 40-60 Shield Tokens.
I wasn't sure where to post this, here or current event thread, so please move as necessary.
