Ability to buy golden piggy banks with gems

[rich crown]

I think this could be a cool way to let you use gems as a small chance at items from the antique shop like legacy decorations, cosmetics, or blueprints. My idea for a price would be 250 gems where it wouldn’t make it an ideal purchase for everyone, but for some people I’m sure they would consider it.

Isn't this just loot crates?

[winged ice]

Yeah I don't think that's a good idea. It feels deserving to collect the gold to open it rather than just opening it. Taking that away just feels like gambling rather than playing.

There is 0 way to play and obtain that stuff in the game without spending money or waiting for kings caprice/1 piggy bank a week which averages 1 blueprint every 6 months

[rich crown]

Yeah a different option to gemming chests for shards

[rich crown]

You could still have it take gold to open it, just gems to reset it

[rich crown]

Cause rn you can just use gems to get shards technically but no way to use gems at a chance of legacy blueprints

[jovial wave]

You can use kings Caprice tokens in the collection book now though, and you can just buy those now

Dont even need a chance, buy tokens, guarantee you get what you want

[rich crown]

I understand you can buy them for real money

I’m talking about an option to grind for them in game in a way that wouldn’t just stop people from spending money

Same with how you can just buy ascension shards, or you can play efficiently to get more ascension shards in game

I would love to see that option for antiques and it seemed like golden piggy banks could be a way to do it without messing up balance

If you have a different idea for a way players can farm antique tokens or things from the antique shop in game like they can farm extra scrolls/shards Im curious to hear a different approach as well

[sweet granite]

That's a good idea.

But I think it would be more reasonable to spend more gems to buy higher level equipment.

[rich crown]

Ohh like the gem cost equates to like a range of tiers if you get a blueprint?

[sweet granite]

I mean, for example, how many Antique Tokens are worth of a certain level of equipment, which is equivalent to the same digital gems to buy them.

For example, if you want to buy the equipment in the picture, you will need 400 gems.

[rich crown]

I think that would be a steal lol that’s why I suggested 250 for a golden piggy bank since you wouldn’t get that many blueprints for your gems but it would still add the option for people who really wanted a chance at getting more

But yeah if they did add an option just to purchase with gems I’m sure it would scale with tier

[sweet granite]

You are right.

[jovial wave]

That's absurd for a single BP.

I even thought 400 was too high

[rich crown]

I would spend about 3-5k for a t14 blueprint

But that’s just me

That’s like 1 antique token per 10 gems

I like this idea 👍
Regarding the idea of buying blueprints with gems instead of tokens remember the price of antique tokens and set expectations accordingly
ain't anyway on this earth they're going for a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio

[rich crown]

Yeah it would have to be a worst ratio to encourage people to still buy from the shop

[rich crown]

Which part do you like? Golden piggy with gems or like a gem to antique token in game option?

[dense loom]

The piggy with gems option

Could be fun

Spend some gems to get a random cosmetic or something I think has merit
