question on wish machine purchases

[Tolwrath]

I have a a socnr rifle at 2 stars (upgraded blueprint), and I noticed the wish machine also sells a blueprint for it for 8k starchrom. What I'm wondering is: how many fragments would it give me if I were to buy it from the wish machine?

Only enough to unlock it initially I believe. Once unlocked you are best off investing extra fragments to level it.

So you think the 8k option would only give like 10 fragments? The gacha can't really be more efficient than just buying the weapon can it?

Not really sure, but I think I was able to unlock/fuse it once I won it from the RNG wish machine set, and when I checked to see about upgrading it to 2 stars, I still had a large amount of fragments of the blueprint, but I was short like 10 points.

So.... I'm thinking if you buy the blueprint for 8k, it'll probably be the same situation; it's basically a full fragment blueprint, but you have to spend some of those fragments to unlock it before upgrading it to 2 stars.

And yes, getting it from gacha seems like its cheaper in the long run (barring any future changes), but if you really want something, I'd just buy it from the shop for 8k.

Do what you feel like works best for your situation.

I think the shop only exists to buy weapons that aren't in the featured banner. So spending 8000 on the rifle is not worth it. Either buy one of the other weapons that aren't available for pull or just spend all your points on the featured or random banners.
