Just wanna chime in to say that this has been a very helpful thread for a C2P like me.

Great work so far… thanks @BlackZed

The way I saw it, 5 epic tomes give you 25 levels. 1 legendary gives you 80 levels. So you’d need at least 3 of those offers to come close to the legendary.

Of course, this is very subjective to one’s needs so each to its own.

Keep up the great work!

Best to just buy the legendary tome then. Most economical in that case, and reserve it for the most deserving hero.

Most use that epic tome only for the last 5 levels. 4.75 onwards.

UPDATED 21 December 2022

Date: 21 December 2022
Offer: Aethers Aplenty
Price: S$44.98 / US$29.99

This offer has been upgraded. Used to be 2000 gems. Now 2500 gems.

Aether I - 30x @ $0.25 = S$7.50
Aether II - 15x @ $0.50 = S$7.50
Aether III - 3x @ $2.50 = S$7.50
Price for all Aethers = S$22.50

Price for 2500 gems = S$22.48
Price for 2500 gems from Shop = S$35.93
Discount 37%

Gems still a tad low for this offer. Another 500 gems to 3000 gems, will make this offer more attractive.

UPDATED 17 MAY 2023

Less than 6 months later, this offer has been discounted further but in S$. The US$ remains unchanged at US$29.99.

Previous : S$44.98 / US$29.99
Now: S$39.98 / US$29.99

It looks like an overall 10% discount for S$ spenders, for this offer’s contents:

Aethers III 3x @ S$2.25 = S$6.75
Aethers II 15x @ S$0.45 = S$6.75
Aethers I 30x @ S$0.225 = S$6.75
Price for all Aethers = S$20.25 (previously S$22.50)

=> 2500 Gems = S$19.73
Discount 45%

It looks like Zynga has started using flexible pricing now that Apple has released their previously inflexible grip on IAP offers. This also means that Zynga’s net take home (after deducting SG VAT, then deducting Apple’s 30% of US$29.99) will reduce.

if this is their way of retaining smaller markets, it may work out. I am not sure if this reduced foreign currency pricing applies to other countries too.

Wonder how the blue aethers offer Is “performing”, coming few days after the Blue Quest…

Perhaps less sales than if it was the dark aethers quest?

Looks like they reworked this last one, from what I remember last time it featured silver coins and less overall pulls. Still not a great offer which imho as it split the price over several portals

With offers for Aethers everywhere, and their dropping prices, looks like SGG finally realized those were heavily overpriced. HEAVILY. In the past I was buying offers with 4* mats in it, because there’s a special joy in being able to max your new legendary hero sooner… So I was willing to pay even ridiculous amounts… But for Aethers? The fact that it’s the same hero, just somewhat stronger, makes me totally ok to wait couple of months… I literally have 0 urges to buy these offers, despite the fact they are getting visibly cheaper.
