After some discussion recently on these forums about what’s worth paying for in the game I got curious about how much things are actually worth. So I’ve put together a spreadsheet that breaks down the main in-game shop items into real world currency values. It’s still a work in progress, as I’m still missing some info on the traitstone packs that cycle around. (Thanks to @Cell for his contributions on that matter so far!) Also hoping to try and find a way to value armour and/or glory. But these will take a bit more experimenting with formulas etc. You can change the VIP level at the top (The white cell), however I think at the moment it’s a case of anyone can change it and it will change for everyone who’s looking at it, so it might be better to make a copy of the spreadsheet (File → Make a Copy) if you want to play around and examine all the different levels’ values. I ended up doing this in USD as that seems to be what my Steam version of the game displays in, and the JPY on my phone is inconsistent ( eg on Steam both the Deathknight Pack and the current Mist of Scales Pack are $49.99, but on my phone the DK pack is 5,678 yen, and the Mist of Scales one is 6,133 yen. It might be a case of it sets the price at the exchange rate of the day the item gets added to the store) I’ll add the prices for the daily gems/souls/gold later tonight when mine run out and I can see the prices again. Let me know if you have any issues or suggestions for more things to add. EDIT: o.o apparently these forums support google docs linking… interesting! > **[Gems of War Economy Breakdown](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SF3wq8ruXNlCE2MCBd6X6CO65RDj4vzXNrT0q3MK8zo/edit?usp=sharing)** > > USD > > Item,VIP Level,1,0.05 > Cost,Gems,$ (USD),Assumptions: > Gems,Cost per Gem ($),Cost Base,D4,Death Knight Amour is valued at 750 Gems > 21,N/A,$1.99,$0.0948,Cost per Gem,$0.0948,Ultra-Rare are valued at 10 Glory Keys > 53,N/A,$4.99,$0.0950,VIP Point...

Daily gems are 15x15 days for $5. Daily gold is 8,000x15 for $20. Daily souls is 150x15 for $5. Daily maps can be purchased also, 3x15 days for $5. ---

A couple of thoughts: One way to back into the value of Glory is the 40 Souls = 25 Glory option in the Shop. Obviously it doesn’t take into account the relative ease of accumulating the different resources, but it’s still a good baseline for someone that wanted to pay their way through the entire game. For the DK Armor it’s clearly \>500 Gems in value. Up for debate if it’s 750 or 1k gems, but you could use the lesser value to at least establish a ballpark value for the pack. ---

Ah yeah I forgot about the glory → Souls transfer. Will probably use that as a base then. I see what you’re saying for the DK Armour. Might go for the lower value since the pack is already valued higher than it’s price and I haven’t got the glory keys involved yet. @Grundulum Cheers for those! Will add them shortly. ---

Ok I’ve updated the spreadsheet with the information from @Studs and @Grundulum A couple of notes: With the valuation of Glory I’ve added all the glory packs! I’ve valued an UR card at 10 Glory Keys, and an Epic at 10 Gem Keys. I know this probably aren’t the best representation, but it felt like a good starting point at least. I’ve also rearranged things a bit. Traitstone packs are first, then the non-themed packs (DK Armour and Spoils of War), followed by the Themed packs. I don’t remember how the “bundles” work, whether it’s always a UR and Epic from the week’s kingdom, or if it varies from week to week, but I’ve put these in tentatively assuming the former. I might look at putting a VIP point breakdown in as some point soon as well, though would be interested in what the points needed for each level would be. All I know so far is: Level 1: 50 Level 2: 100 Level 3: 200 So if any one is able to help expand on that it would be appreciated 😉 EDIT: Unsurprisingly VIP Point values are pretty static, at $0.20 per 1 VIP point. EDITEDIT: Ok found a couple other guides going over VIP levels. However the only cost I’ve found seems off. > [@I need help constructing a VIP Rewards guide](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/i-need-help-constructing-a-vip-rewards-guide/2019/25): > > Now obviously it doesn’t apply the same for every currency, but this equals out to $790US. Interesting, my fault for thinking people were talking cumulative rather than additive. =P VIP 1 = 1 pt - $1US VIP 2 = 50 pts - $10US VIP 3 = 150 pts - $30US (+$20) VIP 4 = 350 pts - $70US (+$40) VIP 5 = 650 pts - $130US (+$60) VIP 6 = 1050 pts - $210US (+$80) VIP 7 = 1550 pts - $310US (+$100) VIP 8 = 2150 pts - $430US (+$120) VIP 9 = 2950 pts - $590US (+$160) VIP 10 = 3950 pts - $790US (+$200… @Zelfore These numbers seem out of date now, is this the case? or am I missing something major? EDIT3: Nevermind… I got thrown off by the first level where you said VIP 1 = 1pt = $1. I should probably sleep… ---

That DK bundle value… I actually thought it was more like, “everything but the armor = $50”, which meant the armor was essentially free. Based on your work it seems like it’s negative dollars!
