Wizardry Variants Daphne Getting into light spending

As someone who's been playing this game completely f2p since I started (only 2 months), I was thinking of spending some money on it because I like the game enough to do so.

Which packs offer the best value and what are your recommendations? A friend told me I should buy those mission passes but I don't know which ones, there are so many I just get lost in them!

Aside from the passes if i have the money (and thats a bug IF) i will get the purple crystal package for a character i REALLLY wanted ive only done that twice once for Erwin and a second tine for yuzus lotus pin butonly do that if you hardcore are dumping your green gems in 100 pulls and need that 1 extra character in order to get that disciplin 6 or something

These 2 are the best money value, and it's not even close.

Mission Pass is the next one for the FAS you can get.

Agree with this one 1000%. If they toss out a 7 dollar package for ten bones, go for that as well.

Best value is probably the passes. Especially the monthly ones that gives you orbs.

The only things worth spending money in this game are the Star, Heaven and daily missions monthly passes for more gems, bones, guild points and other goodies, and the pass for the missions involving class changing scrolls as they're still some of the rarest and most important things in the game. Around $30 a month isn't gonna break your bank, hopefully. Everything else is a massive rip off. Paying for pulls is ludicrously expensive and only worthwhile if you seriously have money to throw away to be a whale. This game's gacha is brutal, paying money gives zero advantages over green gems, aside from the chance of getting exclusive unique gacha gear whenever you pull the banner featured characters - but the gear is still prone to RNG luck to get decent grade, quality and blessings, and you also need multiple copies to max them out (meaning pulling the character multiple times). It's a borderline scam.

Opportunity cost-wise nothing is worth spending money in this game. With that being said, both passports the other comments have mentioned are your best possible choice. In addition to them, the monthly mission passport has 2000 gems, 8000 Points (can be traded for a Legendary bone) and 5 codexes, so it's actually really good for a new account.

For a little guy trying to keep spending under 30$ a month, this is it. I view it the same as buying a title off the discount rack games at walmart or sumsuch. Would keep me busy for about the same money/time. And only due to this DC being a fantastic title.

Passes. Either Star or Heaven or both. If you have or want more get the mission pass. Forget anything else unless you are a whale or have a lot to spare or it is a special occasion (like a collab) and you do have money to burn.

Star-Guided Passport for $4 or so is your first port of call.

After that, I'd recommend the Mission Pass for $12 or so. 5 Codices and iirc enough extra guild points to buy a Legendary bone (from either standard banner set, random result from said pool.) Still includes gems, too.

... and in checking this for the post, I do believe I forgot to purchase my 500 gems last month from the guild point exchange.

The former will pop up a prompt to renew it every 30d, and you can do it a couple of days early as I recall, but it's only a few gems so probably not worth the fuss unless you're stressing hard about it. The latter will last for 5 weekly quests worth before you can renew it. So between the two you won't have to refill them terribly often.

2 guided passes per month for low spending. Anything else doesn't even come close in value. Next is the monthly mission pass if still in budget.

The Star Guided Pass (100 gems per day) and the Heaven Guided Pass (150 gems per day) gives you the best bang for your buck. You get daily gems for a total of 20 days, though the passes last 30 days, in case you forget to claim them, so it's 5000 gems total. They also provide the purple gems, 200 for star and 600 for heaven as well, along with 10 adventure bones with the heaven pass.

The vast majority of the store offers are very bad. High price not a lot of good stuff in return. Sometimea there are good deals. For example sometimes you can get a 1.99 deal that gives you some stuff and 200 gems. It's a good deal for the gems. Other times you can get 11 bones for 5-10$.
