I feel a little sorry with the GPx1, as all other Pachinkos have their own topic, but this one not. And as I wanted to find out if it is still a good invest compared to buying books and gifts from marked, I did some statistics. Probably others find this interesting as well: Level 278 EPx1 price 80,900 Club bonus 0.07 Aff Amount Market price Marked price sum Sell value Sell value sum 130 32 54,210 1,734,720 5,801 185,632 250 24 104,250 2,502,000 11,155 267,720 370 36 154,290 5,554,440 16,510 594,360 490 23 204,330 4,699,590 21,864 502,872 700 1 291,900 291,900 31,234 31,234 950 3 396,150 1,188,450 42,489 127,467 1,200 0 500,400 0 53,543 0 1,500 1 625,500 625,500 66,929 66,929 Sum 119 16,596,600 1,776,214 XP Amount Market price Marked price sum Sell value Sell value sum 180 28 36,050 1,009,400 3,858 108,024 200 16 40,056 640,896 4,287 68,592 250 25 50,070 1,251,750 5,358 133,950 500 23 100,140 2,303,220 10,715 246,445 1,000 3 200,000 600,000 21,401 64,203 1,500 6 300,000 1,800,000 32,100 192,600 2,000 5 400,000 2,000,000 42,801 214,005 2,500 5 500,000 2,500,000 53,501 267,505 Sum 111 12,105,266 1,295,324 Equipment Amount Market price Marked price sum Sell value Sell value sum Epic 127 541,018 68,709,286 57,890 7,352,030 Legendary 128 823,288 105,380,864 88,093 11,275,904 Sum 255 174,090,150 18,627,934 Invest 485 39,236,500 Sell value 21,699,472 Market price 202,792,016 Sell value equipment + market price Aff/XP 47,329,800 Balance 8,093,300 Control 8,093,300 In early game, it was clear: Rolling the GPx1 was cheaper than the cheapest books or gifts you could buy in marked. So even that a share of the drops was epic equipment (which gives always less money when selling than GPx1 price), it was overall totally worth it, and the equipment could be sold on matching contests. And below level 200, resp. with still some legendary equipment, there was also a chance to enhance your characters gear. After level 200 with mythic items, equipment gets an additional use as upgrade material. However, GPx1 price starts to get more expensive than an increasing amount of the lower book and gift drops. The average rarity (amount of XP/Aff per item) seems to increase, and also the epic vs legendary equipment share becomes better, but one will face streaks of 180-250 book drops which are all increasingly cheaper to buy in marked, making one regret or wonder whether GPx1 is still worth it. On the other hand, as you can see, at level 278 the chance for legendary gear and epic gear is the same, and legendary gear gives you a little more money when selling it, than the price for GPx1. So at level 278 I did the above statistics over 485 GPx1 rolls: If one has either zero use of affection items or books, it is not worth it at this level. Especially books can be bought cheaper in marked, also if you take into account the money you get back by selling the equipment. But if you generally can make use of affection items and books, it is about 30% cheaper: Buying the ones I got in marked would have cost ~29M, investing ~39M in GPx1 and selling the equipment for ~19M finally costs you only 20M (roughly). If you have mythic gear to level, the value of the equipment drops raises, but being hard to rate: I am personally trying to level all mythic gear to level 20 ASAP (nearly done), but others may be more busy upgrading new girls. If there is a "Sell items" contest, then the equipment becomes more valuable as well, again hard to compare to Ymen prices. This is especially true when you are below level 200 or do not have mythic gear yet (to level). I rarely participate these contests currently as I need the material and Ymen (winning the contest means repeating GPx1 => sell => GPx1 rotations => more Ymen finally go into books/gifts) for mythic gear. Note that I have +7% money club bonus, so get 7% more for selling items. Otherwise it is 10% of the marked price. However, this does not significantly change the overall result that, until this level, usually GPx1 is better than buying books/gifts from marked. Let me know what you think guys, also how things change on higher levels/in endgame. I read from veterans that they buy all books from marked every 6h restock. So either affection items are not such a need anymore, or GPx1 price raises faster than the average book/gift drop value?
