Paid V Stones

[Edwid]

Right now, there is a paid V stone offer. 30% off. Is this a very rare thing? Is this the best offer the game has to offer? Thinking whether to get it on offer to save for my favourite girl's birthday suit next year. Thanks in advance for the help!

It's not a bad offer, like any gacha game your throwing money away like buying lotto tickets so try and not go too crazy :) (I spent around $150 getting a tamaki suit I really wanted)

[The Dude]

This is not a "you MUST get it!" type of offer in my opinion. I hope nobody buys V-Stones without some kind of discount or as "get some additional items" deal...

Have you checked the normal v stone store as well? Can't remember if it's stopped now, but they were 50% for a first purchase at one point which was better value.

The double V stone sale is only for the first time purchase. If you ever buy again, it's full price, or right now, 30% off.

i'm definitely not getting any v stones without any special promos. just wondering if 30% is a good offer or will there be even better ones that I should be waiting for. e.g. 50% off.

Those 'additional items' deal are definitely not worth the money MOST of the time. I will only pay to get the suit for Honoka ;) Prepping for her 3rd birthday suit next year

I had the same question of "how good is this offer?". I'm not an expert on buying in this game, but from doing the math..
Deals I've seen:
14000 paid +10000 free (S$120/USD$90)
15000 paid + 5000 free + awakening crystal (S$120/USD$90)
20000 paid (S$120/USD$90)
This deal: 14000 paid (S$84/USD$66)

I think there were some deals that came with EX lotions too but that was months ago, tied to pool hopping I think.
Up to you to decide how much you value the additional items.

[󠀡󠀡󠀡⁧⁧the.jester]

The 14K V-stone price of S$84 has the same stone to price ratio as the offer of 20K paid stones for S$120.00. That would be the only nearest comparison I guess.

[Edwid]

from the look of it, this 14k paid seems like the best deal (if aim is just paid v stones)

if anyone else know possible better packages, please contribute here. just hope to optimise my spending if i were to spend.

Try not to waste any paid V-Stones and get nothing in return:
- Use on step 6 will ALWAYS get you a SSR
- Use on auto-pass will make your life easier for almost 8 days (just buy a couple of minutes after daily reset)

If you want to gamble with your real money:
- Use on 1-3 wheels

That was more than a year ago, but I did go crazy on that offer. Also there was an offer on the DMM/JP version including SSR accessory unlock material, went quite crazy on that one too...

The 20K option seems like the most bang for your buck, as you're getting 4 full 5K PAID rolls
The 14Kpaid +10K free seems like the worst deal, as paying for free stones just seems silly to me. For the longest time I couldn't figure out how that was a "deal", but I guess compared to the normal 14K price you're just getting an extra 10K free on top. The 15+5+gem deal seems fine if you're looking to awaken a suit soon, and you get 3 full 10x rolls.
The 14K pay only gives you two 10x rolls then leaves you with the need to buy more stones to make use of the 4K for gachas.
If you already have paid stones and are just looking to add more then this 30% deal is probably a good way to snag some for a (relatively) cheaper price.

I wasn't playing a year ago, so I think the one I saw was back in January. I just vaguely remember it because it was my first pool hopping, but had no intentions of spending money so I mostly ignored it.

Birthday suits are the best suits you can have in game, but they're so expensive. I think it's better to wait for the third birthday suits come out to try. At least it can help you win the SSS matches easier, so worth for the money you spend.

I bought the paid stones + ex tec oil one, after I accidentally turned all my oil into one super oil. Seemed like a 'good' deal (every single deal is ridiculously overpriced. KT are scum).

thanks guys for the replies!
