Aethers and Mats Offers - February 2022 (and beyond?)

I haven’t seen this offer in 2 months. looks like they closed this offer forever and seems to be replaced with Feel the power 30 challenge coins and 30 EHT coins

Date: 26 February 2023
Offer: Feel The Power (Elradir)
Focus: Challenge (Pets) and SoL
Price: S$6.98 / US$4.99

This is effectively 6 summons.

Price per summon = S$1.16 / US$0.83

Definitely better pricing compared to yesterday’s Senan offer.

If you need gems, buy the Challenge Offer D1: 200 gems S$1.48

7x 200 gems = 1400 gems => S$10.36 / US$6.93
Buy 1x of this offer = S$6.98 / US$4.99
Total Spend = S$17.34 / US$11.92

That Senan Offer (+100 gems) = S$21.98 / US$14.99
“Savings” = S$4.64 / US$3.07

Zynga has changed their offer packaging to “multi-portal” if a seasonal event or another portal is on going.
This trend started this year.

It does look like that Zynga has set aside resources for an “Offer” committee to look into both WS and In App offers.

It could be an experimentation stage as Zynga gauge response to the multi-portal offers, or it could be their preferred direction going forward.

If you only want Challenge coins, wait for CoR. Or Challenge specific WS SO.

There may be more special Anniversary offers when this game celebrates their 6th anniversary.

Offer: WS SO - W3K and SoL
Price: S$14.98 / US$9.99

Another multi-portal offer, Total 15 summons

Price per summon = S$0.999 / US$0.666

Given the constant multi-portal offers, This offer would be better if it was 1000 W3K coins (10 summons) and 5 EHTs. Or maybe even 8x W3K and 7x EHTs.

Let’s see what the expected FTW for W3K offers.

Maybe it’s just me, I’m surprised that this offer has five in stock.

It’s back to an “economical” order. 10 EHTs is a bit much. 5+5 would have been better. At least that

It’s probably for players to stock up on Easter. Immediately after valentine’s it’s springvale

@BlackZed so other than this one took the whole screen (scared me for a second thought my most recent forced update had caused a bug) don’t recall seeing it before

Real screenshot…lol…like do I got your attention now?!

Saw it while having a bite.

My reaction: :joy::rofl::joy::rofl:

That’s Sun wu kong playing up in the clouds. Or in his mountain home high up there in the clouds. Hence the misty background.

Will get cracking on this offer.

Offhand, it doesn’t look that bad. Let me value it properly.

Never seen a pop-up that took up the entire screen before…Sun WuKong must be a pretty important character

Offer: Journey To The West (Sun WuKong)
Price: S$148.98 / US$99.99

A prelude for things to come: the release of Sun WuKong (5*), one of the 3 main protagonists, for the epic saga of Journey To The West.

click here for some info on this awesome mythical deity

While waiting for the Hero to be released into beta and then live game (looking at either May or July 2023 W3K), I can buy the avatar first. Such a nice avatar too.

Is this offer worth it ?

The Details

Legendary Ascension Tome = S$65.76
Legendary GE Tome = S$36.98
15x 4* Master Trainers = S$47.85

Updated Value => S$199.09
“Savings “ => S$50.11
SWK Avatar => FREE!

If I only want the avatar regardless, then the other contents are free! :joy::rofl:

This offer is not bad if I need everything in it. Otherwise, hmmmm :thinking:

How else to get 1000 W3K Coins?

Buy 2x of the WS SO giving 500 coins for only S$29.96, get 10 EHTs “free”
And “save” S$119.02

UPDATE 26 APRIL 2023

The original offer must have been popular enough that Zynga decided to upsize this offer to test whether there’s a market for upsized offers.

Offer: Journey To The West (upgraded)

Leg. Tome of Ascension = S$65.76

It’s 55x summons. PPS = S$2.216
Not much cheaper than regular deals

If you have another 300 gems, then you can do 60x summons. PPS => S$2.03
Decent price if you want everything else in the offer.

30 Loot Tix = S$2.10

That 3m Ham is valued at S$3.22. Not significant.

All in, about 26 summons
Ave PPS = S$2.65 / US$1.73

Better offers available. :stop_sign:

T6 S$148.98 / US$99.99

5x 4AM = S$35
11000 gems = S$158.08 from Shop
Value = S$193.08
Discount 23%

Doable whale-type offer if I want gems for Covenant and need more 4AM.

Conclusion

Zynga is working very hard to shift traffic from In App to WS. The non-regular In App offers are so much worse than WS offers.

I hope their strategy is working cos Jan Revenue for this game dropped from US$17m to US$15m (Apple/Google combined)

For those of you, who have stopped spending in protest: Congratulations! A US2m decline is significant enough to celebrate. Persevere! It may decline even more with time.

A 2-in-1 post today to compare 2 offers launched today, 6 March 2023.

Feel The Might (Senan) S$14.98 / US$9.99

10 summons total.
Ave PPS = S$1.498 / US$0.999

Actual PPS:
AR = S$1.398 / US$0.932
Cov = S$1.598 / US$1.066

Zynga’s cut after deducting Apple/Google commission and SG 8% VAT = S$9.80 /US$6.99

WS SO S$21.98 / US$14.99

18 summons total.
Ave PPS = S$1.221 / US$0.833

Actual PPS:
AR = S$1.221 / US$0.833
Cov = S$1.396 / US$0.952
EHT = S$1.047 / US$0.714

Zynga’s cut after deducting max 3% payment processing commission and SG 8% VAT = S$19.74 / US$14.54

Conclusion

WS SO offer is a win-win for both player and Zynga. Lower PPS and higher net sales margin for Zynga, unless budget is a concern.

Which should I take then ? In App offer is a niftier bundle for a punt, and will give me so much more perverse pleasure. Decisions, decisions. :thinking:

Offer: WS SO AQ-Musketeers
Price: S$14.99 / US$9.99

First off: Reminder: this offer runs till the end of AQM. The usual FTW offer won’t appear till D3 or D4. It may pay to wait for other AQM offers to surface before deciding.

Buy 3x of this offer to have enough gems for 10x plus 15x coin pulls.

Total 25 summons => PPS = S$1.799 / US$1.199

If it’s only one:
(3x) Gems = 1000
(5x) 50 AQ = 1500 gems
Value in Gems = 2500 => S$32.54 from WS
Discount 54%

click here for regular Alliance Quest offers

Update 9 March 2023

It’s here! The first FTW for AQM. It’s a combo offer for players, who chase scores, and want to try both ongoing portals.

Offer: Feel The Fury (Yang Mai)
Price: S$14.98 / US$9.99

5 WE = 500 gems = S$1.82 / US$1.22
60 AQ coins = 1800 gems = S$6.58 / US$4.38
6 EHT = 1800 gems = S$6.58 / US$4.38

Discount 75%

(Incl WE) PPS = S$1.096 / US$0.731
(Excl WE) PPS = S$1.248 / US$0.83

This FT offer offers better pricing for non-gem summons.

There should be another, I think.

Update 11 March 2023

And here it is!!! Another FTW offer.

Offer = Feel The Grace (Eloise)
Price = S$9.98 / US$6.99

Total 8 summons
Excluding Scrolls, PPS = S$1.248 / US$0.874

Decent enough on its own. If you want everything, this offer is more than decent:

50 AQ coins = 1500 gems
3 EHT = 900 gems
5x Scrolls of Alteration = 1500 gems
Value in Gems = 3900 = S$56.05 from Shop

Update 12 March 2023

And it’s HERE! The final FTW for both this week.

Price: Varies

O1 S$21.98 / US$14.99

(5x) Gems = 1500
(9x) 9 EHT = 2700 gems
Value in Gems = 4200 => S$60.30 from /Shop
Discount 64%

(A) Buy 1x = 14 summons
=> PPS = S$1.57 / US$1.07

(B) Buy 2x = 29 summons
10x Gem plus 18 EHT plus 1x Gem
=> Ave PPS = S$1.52 / US$1.03

This offer is decent enough if you want to punt gems for a Musketeers while using EHT for SoL or incoming Springvale. This offer offers better value for gem pull compared to Day One offer (scroll up).

O2 S$0.896 / US$0.598

Straightforward 5 EHT offer. Decent pricing.

PPS = S$0.896 / US$0.598

And this concludes this week’s constant flow of offers in different guises, and tailored to suit a wide range of wallets.

Next week is VF and DoD (S5). Looking forward to yet another week of continuous offers.

Agree it’s worth waiting, though I am curious to see if FTW will be another mixed portal offer as has been the recent trend.
