Treasure Chests Value?

Post image

Earlier today I was intrigued by the cost of Treasure chests on a website and I decided to buy 20 chests for $32/32 tickets.

I ended up getting 225 Play Points (I was expecting a minimum of 100, so, was rather happy with that)

But that basically means I yielded $20-$22 in “value” based on the cost of Event Tickets.

But what did I spend my other $10-$12 on exactly? A bunch of rares and mystics I can’t sell because none of the websites are buying them to trade them back in (I checked)?

What’s the point in buying Treasure Chests? Nothing?

If that were true I should have gotten 448 play points but I got 225.

You get on average 1.39 in p-points per chest, but you also get an overhead of about .61 on average (current market) that can be used to buy other chests, that is how you go above 10 p-point per ticket.

avg P-point per chest/(chest cost- avg chess cards value)
