![]() ![]() This will set you back $200 (costs 27,000 Zen, and the $200 Zen Charge level is 20,000 regular + a total of 7,000 Zen bonus, clocking in at 27,000 Zen on the nose). If I’ve done my math right, you need 30 sets of 10-Key packs or 15 sets of Key Ring Bundles to get 1,200 Lobi. ![]() There’s also a 20% Zen Charge Bonus for the same period (added to any normal Zen Charge Bonuses that currently exist). Key Ring Bundles, which is just 2 10-pack Keys plus an Ultimate Tech Upgrade.ĮDIT ( effective until the morning of Pacific time): For Cryptic’s July 4th Weekend sales, a minimum 20% sale on Lobi items and the Z-Store will be in effect until early in the day on July 6th (Pacific).Zen Charge Bonuses, especially going into July 4th Weekend where we’ve had Zen Charge Bonuses go live in the past.A rough dollar equivalent to get the number of Keys or Boxes necessary for that Lobi.Price of Promo Boxes, if they were to be available and at certain Zen Store price points and 4-pack Bundles.Price of Keys, both with and without certain sale prices in and accounting for the 10-pack Bundle.It can open to more, and it usually averages 5 Lobi per Lock Box, but if you wanted to be asolutely sure you bought enough Keys, I’m assuming the absolute worst streak of luck at 4 Lobi per Lock Box the entire way. Lobi drops at its worst minimum of 4 Lobi per Lock Box opened.This next set of spreadsheets tells us how much real cash (in USD) you’d have to pay out to get all the Lobi from scratch for this Bundle. How Much It Would Take to Get Lobi at Certain Lobi Store Sale Levels Taking the values and judgments I laid out above, I’m valuing everything but the new title at 1,012 Lobi equivalent (as in, “treated as if you could pay Lobi to get these things compared to their current prices”). Here are mine on the values of the various items in this Bundle! Yes, you’ll learn that STO sometimes is a game of spreadsheets. SPREADSHEETS! EVERYONE LOVES (loathes) SPREADSHEETS! I assume none of this is account unlocked (as nothing from the Lobi Store has been, to the best of my memory).I value the Garak holo-BOFF like a Lobi store equivalent BOFF: 300 Zen.No matter when you buy, you get an Ultimate Tech Upgrade (just make sure the description says it comes with one!). When old Event items are on sale (80% off) in Mudd’s Market, they sell for 2,000 Zen.When the Key Ring Bundle is on sale, it costs just under 2,000 Zen, requiring you to purchase 2,000 Zen and have a little Zen left over.I value the Ultimate Tech Upgrades at 2,000 Zen each.I take the Keldon at 600,000,000 EC, the 2nd of 3 listings on the Exchange as of late this afternoon Eastern time.This means you’re paying about 216-224 Lobi for a title.įor my numbers…I get quite a bit more complicated. If we take the ship and Garak holo-BOFF together, we get 924-932 Lobi.Īs for the Ultimate Tech Upgrades, getting ahead of myself, I’m pricing those at very roughly 352 Lobi.Ĭombining Astro’s ship + Garak numbers with my Ultimate Tech Upgrade calculation, that gives us a grand total range of 1,276-1,284 Lobi. To add a bit more to AstroAlligator’s numbers, if we use 800 Zen for a holo-BOFF (when Mudd’s Market is down to 80% off), that buys anywhere from 6-8 Master Keys, giving a minimum of 24-32 Lobi. The amount of Zen it would take to get enough Lobi to buy these things at the full 1500 price is *NOT* worth it.Ī Lobi sale might happen, and since most people will be finishing up their EVENT progress to get 1000 Lobi, we should've seen this coming, but it's still a hard sell.- Astro Alligator □□ June 29, 2020 More quantifiable are the ship, Garak, and the Ultimate Tech Upgrades.Īs I’m trying to get this out sooner rather than later, I’ll simply embed his tweets concerning his views on the value of the Bundle (with his permission): If I’m being honest, do you notice most titles above characters’ heads?
