How Is The Value Analyzed Here?
The Vibranium Powered Offers event can be broken down into separate parts, thus making 12 bundles. Each bundle includes not only the contents of the corresponding stage of the reward track but also the following reward. This is so because you have no other way to get, for example, 100 Gold that come after the first reward with 800 Credits, except by purchasing the node for 4.99 USD.
In addition, since you can’t buy the last bundle in the series without buying the very first one, there’s no point in analyzing them separately. There is a cumulative effect here, so the bundles are grouped by stages, sequentially, to answer the question “when is it worth stopping?” and “which purchases will provide the most value?”
Thus, we will be analyzing the value of bundles when purchasing them sequentially, dividing the purchase stages into tiers.
Vibranium Powered Offers Value Analysis
As with the last time, the distinctive feature of these (and probably all future) Vibranium Powered Offers is that they are sold exclusively in-game, do not count towards milestones progress, and effectively do not have the 10% discount that can usually be applied in the Webshop due to currency exchange rate differences.
Therefore, keep in mind that although the prices of these and past Vibranium Powered Offers are the same, in fact, you will have to pay slightly more now than, for example, a month ago. But now, let’s break down the analysis into the main tiers by key price categories.
Vibranium Powered Offers (May 11) – Tier 1
The very first and cheapest bundle in the chain is traditionally the best value among the rest, and at a price of 5 USD, it offers the most for each dollar spent.
If you compare the bundle with other bundles for USD over the last three months, it is evident that it is among the best, but not at the very top. And although it falls short of the previous two cheap Vibranium Bundles (April 28 and May 3) in terms of Progress Value and the April 28th bundle essentially offered almost as much for 2.7 USD, it still holds up well in its price category.
Meanwhile, in terms of Credits per USD, the bundle performs slightly worse than it could, since the 100 Gold detracts from its value, but it still remains at an impressive level of 160 Credits per USD, against the standard of 87.5 Credits per USD when purchasing in the shop via the Gold conversion.
Thus, it is one of the best ways to spend 5 USD right now, but I advise considering an alternative in the form of purchasing the Gold Pass, which not only provides 2.37 times more Progress Value but also comes out slightly cheaper when purchased in the Webshop (about 4.43 USD when buying with the country changed to the Philippines in the interface).
Vibranium Powered Offers (May 11) – Tiers From 2 to 3
Although the second and third tier individually offer good value for their $10 and $9, when calculated cumulatively, the $15 Tier 2 Bundle does not provide enough to call the purchase worthwhile.
The majority of even remotely acceptable bundles over the last 6 months are significantly better than it, if one does not focus on the overall Progress Value, where both bundles show extremely high results.
In conclusion, an astonishing fact is evident – purchasing the second tier is definitely not the best decision unless you value random cosmetics more than the exclusive ones in the bundles.
However, buying the third bundle looks significantly better, as seen in the charts above. The price of $9 for the separate third tier instead of $10 positively affects the bundle and allows recommending the third tier if you want to spend more money in the event than on the first tier. At the same time, I do not recommend buying only up to the second tier.
Vibranium Powered Offers (May 11) – Tiers From 4 to 9
The rest of the bundles up to and including tier 9 are repetitive bundles priced at $14 and $15 with minor changes. When calculated cumulatively and compared with other bundles, all of these look quite poor, and their price is not at all small.
I cannot recommend any of them; it’s better to purchase the first bundle you come across in the in-game shop for $50-$100, and it will give you more currency. The only bundle that is somewhat of an exception is the very first one, The Tier 4 bundle for $38. Compared to previous bundles, it’s on par with those that cost $40. Yet, you can still buy 2-3 other regular, cheaper bundles and come out ahead.
Vibranium Powered Offers (May 11) – Tiers From 10 to 12
The last three tiers of bundles this time are not the most typical. We see some experimentation with the content: a lot of Gold is added at Tier 10, many Credits and a significant amount of Gold at Tier 11, and just a lot of everything at Tier 12. These are also the only tiers where a regular mystery variant isn’t added, but rather a premium mystery variant is included.
All comparative charts, meanwhile, show the same picture – the value of the bundles isn’t that great, but since these tiers add the most Gold, they can be of interest as a very good and quick source of Credits and Gold for whales.
But let’s take a closer look at the last tier and try to answer the question – what will you get if you purchase the Vibranium Powered Offers in full.
As can be seen from the charts below, with a price of 176 USD, Vibranium Powered Offers outperforms the May 3rd offer priced at 148 USD both in terms of Progress Value and Total Value, but it significantly falls short when compared to similar bundles from February 29th and April 28th, which were priced at 166 USD and 211 USD respectively.
We can also look at the bundle values if we convert all the Gold into Credits.
In the case where we convert 8,200 Gold into Credits at the standard in-game shop exchange rate (1.25 Credits per Gold), it turns out that this bundle offers us a total of 27,350 Credits for the price of 176 USD or 155.5 Credits per USD.
In this case, the bundle even slightly surpasses the credit-rich Vibranium Powered Offers from May 3rd, offering 0.64 more Credits per USD. And if we look at all the bundles over the last 3 months by this indicator, it turns out that such a bundle among the expensive ones gives the most Credits per dollar.
Of course, this is partly due to the fact that few bundles offer a lot of Credits at once, instead containing Collector’s Tokens and Gold. But even so – it’s an excellent option for whales to get a lot of Credits at a favorable rate.
However, even in this case, I would advise to first purchase almost all the other bundles in the shop, as they will still be more cost-effective in terms of Progress Value, and if they contain Gold or Credits, that’s still the priority. For instance, right now, Dealing with Demons and Beast Mode Engaged will still give more Credits for Gold when converting Gold to Credits.
Conclusion
Thus, three main conclusions can be drawn:
- The first bundle for 5 USD is quite good, but its purchase is more debatable than in the previous few times due to the absence of a discount from currency conversion in the Webshop and because the past 1st Tier Vibranium bundles offered more resources for their price. But overall – it’s still worth prioritizing over other bundles currently available.
- Purchasing the 2nd tier and stopping there is definitely not recommended. Buying up to the 3rd tier inclusive is a better deal. But it’s not as good as purchasing only the first tier; it’s just about on par with the other bundles. This is where most players who have decided to spend more than 5 USD should stop.
- The remaining tiers are not worth taking unless you’ve decided to go all the way. In that case, you should be a whale, having purchased the other bundles with Credits and Gold in the shop and still needing a huge amount of Credits. Only then can I say that it’s not a bad deal, as you rarely can get such a large amount of pure currency for a significant amount of money.
