Retail Values: 2050

This is a good deal if you want dual Onyx & Gold Lion skins. It's also a decent discount off retail if you want all the items already on the list. However, unless you like the thrill of anticipation in opening RNG boxes (the dye kit), it's usually cheaper to buy the specific colors you want.

Retail Values: 2000 gems total plus a choice of an Immortal Weapon (not sold separately)

This is one of the better package deals out there. If you want all the items, it's a 300 gem discount of retail values. If you don't normally buy keys, then it's still one of the cheaper options for obtaining immortal weapons.

Retail Total: 2150 Gems

If you want the outfit and weapon skin, this is a good deal, since those two alone would set you back 1300 gems normally. For an extra 145 gems, you get the makeover, 5 chances to try for a dye worth 10g-50g, and 5 statuettes

Retail Values: gems

Financially, this is among the worst of the packages. 1950 gem retail value (compared to usually 2050 for the others) and one of the items is a mini, something that tends to be valued less by more people. On top of that, the premium colors in the dye kit are relatively low value. Unless you really want an immortal weapon skin, I'd recommend buying just the items you want separately.

Great deal if you want them all (or all the ones you are missing).

A okay deal if you want all the items including the immortal weapon skin.

500 gems for the dye kits isn't a great right now, since it offers a random dye, which might not be exclusive. Even among those, half are worth less than 10g, only three worth 11-20g, and only one has a market value above 100g

If you want all the gem shop items, this is a good deal: 1850 gems worth of items for only 1530. Leave out the makeover kit and it's only 1500 gems worth of items. If you want to unlock Bloody Red, Ruby Red, or Magenta dye, that's another 100-150 gems worth of value (if converting from gold).

@Astral Projections.7320 said:Runecrafter’s Salvage-o-Matic 600 gemsRead the description carefully: this item does not recover runes or sigils. It has a 100% chance to salvage them (compared to 20% for copper-fed & 80% for silver-fed). Discussion of this can be found in this thread. Recommendations and links to data can be found in that thread.


@Astral Projections.7320 said:Thunderstrike Harvesting Tool 1000 gemsIncludes a (bound) glyph of the leatherworker, market price of 375-500 gold, which is equivalent to 1000-1250 gems today.Therefore, if you want the glyph, buy this tool: you get the glyph at its TP buy-offer price and the skin is included in the deal.

Retail Values: 2250 Gems + Choice of Immortal Weapon

I can't recommend this package unless you really really want an immortal weapon skin (and already own the other packages). Glint's Winters Dye Kit has exclusive colors that can easily be acquired for under 35 gold, which is only about 100 gems for six unlocks, versus 500 gems for 5 low chances to unlock. In other words, it's cheaper to buy the things you want separately... except for the immortal skin.

Retail Values: 2500 Gems

This is a pretty good deal even without the discount if you want all the non-random items (outfit, longbow, mini, and makeover kit), which are worth 2000 gems retail, since you get the five dye kits thrown in for the same price. Keep in mind you're not guaranteed to get an exclusive color.

If you want the three wardrobe skins, this is a great deal, even without the discount: just those unlocks are worth 1900 gems.

A steal if you want the three wardrobe unlocks, as those alone are worth 1800 gems at normal prices, plus the chance of an exclusive dye and a makeover kit.


@"Astral Projections.7320" said:Black Lion Keys and Scrap Package 900 gems[Contains 10 Black Lion Chest Keys. 2 Black Lion Claim Ticket Scraps]Good deal if you buy keys at retail price: retail value of 10 keys is 900 gems, so you get 2 scraps for 'free'


@"Astral Projections.7320" said:Path of Fire Preparation Package 3500 gems 2800 gems. (20% off)

Retail Values: 6900 Gems

This is a great deal for anyone without a set of everlasting tools, as those alone retail for 2400. For an extra 400 gems, you'd get a character slot, two bag slots, two handfulls of BL keys, and an instant L80 booster.

It remains a good deal for anyone who would pay for an instant L80 booster, as that alone is 2000 gems, so in effect, you get a new character slot with a pair of bag slots for 50% off, and they throw in the tools plus keys to sweeten the deal.

On the other hand, for veterans with stacks of knowledge tomes and more tools than they can use, it's no bargain.

Not a good deal unless you really want an Immortal Weapon skin, as the contents can be purchased for less than even the discount price of the package.
