You're very welcome! The general formula should work for any gacha game you play if you are willing to do the math, haha~ We're eagerly awaiting Alpha's new frame too. ((((🗡️
If you have no spending limits, just buy everything from the limited tab in the Top Up shop. If you want even more BC after that, then you can consider ignoring the thumbnail and buying BC directly.
A PSA to all players, the blue construct tickets will be useful for the eventual CN Lamia patch (1 year + later for us global players) because you can select the S rank character upon hitting hard pity/luccsacc early if you were to pull on the basic construct banner BUT ONLY IN CN LAMIA PATCH VERSION ONWARDS!
@@ecak6124 Not asking you to buy them per se but more of asking you to not spend them unnecessarily unless you're trying to finish your beginner discounted promo so that you can hoard and wait till the patch drops
@@windless456 The one-time A rank selector stays forever and updates with patches. You can rather spend them now and get a potential SS or character you dont have, and use the selector for a future character you want to skip.

Hey, I just started the game a few days ago, and I must say it was really overwhelming, browsing through all the shop, missions and challenges. Im a low spender, and at first when I saw a 10-dollar pack for equivalent of 600 BC it felt like a rip-off =/ Thanks for clarifying better options!
ngl, gray raven radio is by far my favorite channel . Excluding gameplay . But the voiceovers, the emotion included and the sheer detailing of the video makes it all the more interesting to watch and learn more about it. BUt , alas the best i can afford ATM at least is one monthly every 2-3 months. PHEW!!! still, thanks for the guide . monthlies are the way to go for me
For the direct RC to BC exchange, I personally see it as an option when you're *really* desperate for BC right away and have exhausted all other options, a final resort. That's with the x2 first-time bonus. The normal 10 BC per RC really sucks, so it's the last, *last* resort when you're super-duper desperate or just feel like setting your money on fire. I agree that's it's best avoided otherwise. Time is on your side in this game, provided you have the patience and plan ahead.
This is perfect! For the past week and a half I've been trying to strategize how to save for Bianca - Abystigma since she's expected to be the next omn and this formula definitely helps a lot! 😅
I actually did the poggers face when you did the math for some of these. Guess I'm dipping into my poor wallet. Truly appreciate informing us on the good deals!
7:05 If you are considering buying the packs, while the Bc/RC ratio is not necessarily the best, it is important to remember that these packs usually give more pulls than you would normally get if you just straight converted the RC to BC. For example, this bundle is effectively 30 pulls, more than double the amount of pulls that 50$ would normally get you without First Time bonus. 50$ normally gives you 2990 in BC, which converts to roughly 11.5 pulls. The memory shards is just a bonus. The Resonance skill picker is a pretty decent value on the 34$ pack as well, since Leap material could put a very heavy strain on your ability to use Warzone currency for them.
Like this video because it's spectacularly well made! Extremely informative and it has a friggin chart in the end! I don't play pgr as often cause I suck at the game but the story is just amazing. This vid helps plenty
Very usefil for PGR player and you are so good to explain it to simple to understand. Thank you for good content and hope you continue to make useful guide like this.
As always, a high quality video! I actually didn't notice about that huge blue tickets deals so I might just grab that one so thank you for reminding us about that deal~
these videos are amazing and to the point. I just started playing yesterday and these videos are exactly what i have been looking for! Keep up the amazing work and i hope to see more of these soon and maybe an updated new players guide for 2024 :)
Awesome video! I'd just like to say, because it's relatively common to hit a 6* weapon before pity, minmax spenders actually consider a weapon usb to be worth 5000 tickets. The value of the weapon pass is still good though! Same with the r&d bundles
Blue ticket will also have a S rank selector soon(CN server) so its best to buy it now save blue ticket and you can get future S ranks. That's all I can add and thank you for these conversions 😊😊
Great video as always, I just want to mention that a spare 6* weapon is only worth 7500 BC if you hit pity every time, but given the generous 5% rate it actually averages out to 4500 BC per spare 6* weapon, bringing the monthly weapon pass value down to 40 BC/RC Edit: It's still a great deal if you're willing to spend for extra weapons/weapon resonances
Very good guide to spending money in this game, great video. I'd say that PGR is very generous already with it's monetization so it's only really worth it to spend money on skins and to power up your favorite character with either a weapon or a signature CUB but that's just me. Funnily enough, the more generous a game is - the more it makes me want to support the developers because they're already providing a great product.
Thanks alot! Very informative video. I've yet to spend but planned on doing it soon. This video helped me understand which deal is better than the other. It also further solidified my belief that the monthly bc pack is probably the best for low spenders!
Another excellent video from GRR. Please do one for all the character stats. I have some confusion regarding extra damage bonus, extra damage reduction and a few others.
Damn girl can you give us the fundamental beginner guide with every mechanic in pgr bcz its so many like my brain just gonna blast with all of that 😂, i can see you uncle kukki or kyostinz in pgr theme i really love them bcz i can get my brain to the world of arknight but pgr hufft...
I'm a new player and those were exactly the packages I bought hahaha, both the $0.99 one and the month of BC. I'm glad to know that I wasn't wrong in my choice lol
It actually depends on if the person is competitive or not. Weapon reso being especially essential makes up for the monthly weapon pack being more valuable compared to others giving same value. But it still depends. Optimal is around 300 RC budget every month:- 1)Monthly pass A, Weapon and Event= 217 RC 2)BP(Both) =98 That's optimal for a person aiming for leaderboards imo.
This is actually the first time I watched stuff about saving my fiance as a whale and considering myself before buying stuff... Good content for everyone!!!
bro i'm planning on starting PGR, can you maybe somehow create a beginner's guide for new players? it would really so much! love your contents bro keep on going!
pain I wished I found this sooned as I did the BC exchange, not knowing any better, when I was trying to grind for Crimson Weave and had some money for it
I'm wondering if you could do this like every new patch, basically list tbe bc/rc rate of all limited packs, and tell your opinions about each. Would definitely help all spenders here in pgr, which encourages more find fir Kuro. 👌
Day 2 player. Thank you for the video, Planning to play the game part time as I come from ToF and Snowbreak. Had PGR on my to play list the last few months as it came to PC, finally got around to trying it. I spent a way to much money in ToF/Snowbreak (I just whaled on Chenxing a little too much so im hurting on budget) So I been trying to find something that can tell me whats my best options for bang for my buck if I just put $20 into the game. I like to at least give the devs something for playing. So the monthly and the 5 card one, are the ones to go. I'd normally go BP, but dont know if Im going to log in 30 days straight. Just got to figure out who I choose my SSR pick. Holding onto it until I know for sure.
Great Video as always. But can you please elaborate more on the 0:37 part cuz i'm a bit confused about the savings I will get. I'm planning on buying selena's DJ coating so I want to make sure
Of course. The numbers along the bottom of the screen show how much one single RC costs in each pack. If you buy the smallest pack (5 RC) each card will cost you $0.20 each. If you buy the 59 RC pack, each card will cost you $0.17 each. HOWEVER, all the packs between 59-100 basically have the same value. The bottom line is that buying more RC at once saves you a tiny bit of money, but not much. As long as you are buying more than 59 RC at once, you are good.
Rn there are only few characters in BP shard selector. Can I horde those shard selectors so when Alisa got added, can I use those selectors to SSS her right of the bat? Thank you for answering.
I didnt pay too much attention to the 1$ one ingame. I was thinking that it might be a thing every patch but yeah, its way too good to come again and again. It would be basically 6$ for an S rank. Of course they wont do that. Especially for newer players I would even rate the value of battle passes higher, not just looking at bc. The shards for characters help heavily with ranking up. And unlike other games, the characters you can choose shards for are still meta for a good while and not outdated already.
One thing I want to know. Where do you find that sound effects like at 1:54 the UH! sound effect and at 3:05 one? (last one sounds like ueeeeee from kids.)
Even though 'bigger is better' is there is certain BC/RC ration to aim? For example 25? I would guess if even the 2x top-up bonus for an exchange rate of 20 is not good enough than it needs to be least 20+ right?
The prefered ratio is going to be different for each player, so really it's whatever you are most comfortable spending. Just keep in mind that the bundles are usually between 25-30, so any ratio UNDER 25 is worse than average.
@@GrayRavenRadio Got it! I will definitely keep this in mind and aim for a bundle ratio of at least 25-30. The general consensus on the PGR subreddit was the same that a packs BC to RC ratio needs to be worth minium 25. This gives me reassurance and security what to spend on to be honest. Thank you very much for the informative video and quick response regarding my question! Have a nice day! 😇
I usually take all the bundles and honestly, sometimes they are not enough. This is a common practice for me when I start a new game. BC from currency is very bad in this game.
