[SLUAGH] Profitability of Packs
Dante Boss
Citizens of eRepublik,
Today we have been offered a limited time only "Black Friday Offer". The big question right now is how profitable is each pack to you! I hope to breakdown each pack and it's capability for you so you don't have to do too much thinking.
*I have ignored damage accelerators as what most people are interested in is the financial return.
**Damage boosters vary by citizen so their value is not factored despite being highly valueable.
***Bazookas are useless and are also ignored.
[What are the packs and what do they really provide]
XXL (500G)
250 Big Bombs = 1,250,000,000
600 Cruise Missiles = 900,000,000
4 100% DMG Booster (8hr)
TOTAL DMG = 2,150,000,000
XL (250G)
100 Big Bombs = 500,000,000
300 Cruise Missiles = 450,000,000
2 100% DMG Booster (8hr)
16x 200 EB's
TOTAL DMG = 950,000,000
L (100G)
24 Big Bombs = 120,000,000
80 Cruise Missiles = 120,000,000
1 100% DMG Booster (8hr)
TOTAL DMG = 240,000,000
M (50G)
8 Big Bombs = 40,000,000
32 Cruise Missiles = 48,000,000
8x 200 EB's
1 100% DMG Booster (2hr)
TOTAL DMG = 98,000,000
S (25G)
4 Big Bombs = 20,000,000
16 Cruise Missiles = 24,000,000
80 Bazookas
TOTAL DMG = 44,000,000
XS (5G)
2 Big Bombs = 10,000,000
4 Cruise Missiles =6,000,000
2x 200 EB's
40 Bazookas
TOTAL DMG = 16,000,000
What Proftit Can I Make?
*These profits are entirely based upon damage inflicted due to Big Bombs as well as Cruise Missiles.
**Individual hits vary greatly so EB's as well as Damage Booster influence is subject to individual citizens and thus their capability has not been included.
***Returns are based off the following standard damage required to achieve a Battle Hero medal (please note amounts vary greatly).
D2 @ 10,000,000
D3 @ 20,000,000
D4 @ 100,000,000
GREEN: Provides profit
YELLOW: Profit with 5 BHs or less obtained through additional fighting
ORANGE: Profit with between 6-10 BHs through additional fighting
RED: Profit incredibly hard to come by.
What About CO's?
Using the damage from the bombs can also earn you a sizeable chunk of money through CO.
*CO's vary from battle to battle through budget as well as cc/million.
** Gold conversion is worked at 400cc/1G
Bonus tip:
1. DO NOT buy a single energy bar, it's cheaper to by the XS Pack. Alternatively buy in bulk.
I hope this information is of some benefit and helps you decide on whether or not to buy today's limited offers.
Comments
but why don't you calculate the CO?
for 500G pack if you have a 90cc/million CO you get the money back.
CO's vary through how much you earn per million as well as the budget set making it impossible for me to give you a full analysis of what you will earn back.
That being said I will do a quick analysis of the average CO's available at the minute.
~93,023255813953488372093023255814 cc/mil
16200 EBs?
really?
So the XL is better than XXL?
oh it's 16 x double EBs
great analysis 🙂
interesting - this is all true but my unwillingness to waste all my gold on this is the following:
1. all big tanks will buy this so until the ;last big bomb is spend your chances in each battle of a bh can be nullified by people who bought the same pack than you. everyone is giants.
2.usually these suck our gold vaults empty offers rolls out before a major update that requires lots of gold for example perception training.So if you buy you may later need to buy gold at a higher prize update your perception training fully.
3. the time it may take you to make a profit might make keeping your gold now a better option.
checked now you can only buy 2 of a pack so if you used more in your calcs you would be off.
basic inputs are already wrong
1. you can consider yourself happy if you get
d1 for 7m. that s 40% more then what you ve been counting
d2 as well, maybe 13m.
d3 is more less realistic.
you can get d4 even for less dmg
2. with this inflation of bombs, all the needed dmg for BHs will rise (unless we get much more open battles) so your calculations get even worse
anyway, you have vote
as always BHs amounts are disputable. In Div2 (last week) I was getting BHs for 10m sometimes 8. Even now that I am in D3 I am getting them between 8-20M.
All depends on the number of active wars, number of real wars as well as the timing of Epic battles.
yeah, i know guys that get BH in d1 for 3m. but average is quite different. i am telling you. initial thesis that you set are wrong. over and out
or you wait one-two months so that dmg for BH goes down 😃
Neither right or wrong as the definition of average BH is highly speculative. If I see a player I respect taking a BH in D3 for 6million I won't touch that. But if I see a player I don't know/respect taking one for 10million I won't hesitate to take it.
So in a sense, the average BH requirement depends a lot on the players reputation.
no. average is quite firm number. it s not debatable. again, you are avoiding idea - your initial thesis are set wrong. all the time your argument is "i would do... I got BH for..." . and then you also ignore second point i made - that if people buy lot of bombs and go hunting with them - BH dmg will increase
I would entirely dispute average being a firm number in terms of damage required for BH's.
Yes of course some battles will require more, but I firmly believe that you can win BHs easily enough at these amounts as long as you don't have somebody walk in guns blazing and bombs dropping left right and centre.
I am afraid resoperka is mostly right, the average damage of div1/2 BH's will go up for sure. And missile's from packs have 30 days duration until expiry, so everyone will need to use up theirs.
Here are current damages for BH medals while I am typing this:
Div1: http://prnt.sc/dblaqo
Div2: http://prnt.sc/dblaw8
I do assume damage will go around these figures again in 20 or so days so if you buy rockets you should wait and use them for CO only at the moment, or during the low activity time (EU nightime).
once more - average is firm number. you take all dmg's in d1 (for example) on one day, divide with number of battles and you you ve desired number. there is nothing to discuss there. basic maths. if you exclude "active" wars where dmg is quite bigger you ll get even more realistic dmg needed for BH. but it is still higher then your numbers. and again, for 3rd time - you ignored inflation
V!!
Kompliment!
good article

And the 12 points goes to.....SLUAGH!
I say EB are much more attractive because you can fight in Epic battles and get PP (so more E😎 and rank points...
BH hunting will be hard because of all the players with bombs and you can end spending a lot of dmg and lose the BH....plus the cruise missiles expire in 30 days.
Nevertheless nice article, voted.

it s stupid to use all gold for packs, George explain you why....at least u need 100 x2 EB for tuesday epics, if u use all gold on bombs you cant take double pp in epics...best solution is if u have 1k gold - 1 bigest pack + rest on EB
Most of the people have no more aim in this game. Where u will spend your gold unless you buy packages ??
This is a great chance to spend your golds to make battles more core and more fun.
Game is going to die each day and at the end when u will be yourself, you will have to take your golds to your grave 😃
Spend your gold and enjoy the last days of erepublik
IT WORTHS only if you have maverick pack to steal bh from low level players
Maximum purchase is 2 packs. At least in the small pack.
Do they have a sale on EBs?
Yup 🙂
40% more than usual.
