10:34 just wanted to point out that after level 40 the price increases **significantly** (it becomes 18 OP=the price of a special skin) so I wouldn’t recommend buying this pack if you’re at level 40 or more and have a particular skin you want coming soon, unless you can quickly complete new stages to have enough again or simply if you have enough OP for both the pack and the skin... That’s just my opinion but it’s always good to have this in mind

Tbh don't buy the 5* unless it is Lappland or Ptilopsis or meteor(best 5* in the game) or maybe warfarin or liskarm. Diversifying your team is good but if you already have a decent roster buying more 5*s that you are not sure you will use will just dilute your resources.

Most of my 3 and 4 stars maxed out, skyfire near full potential, 6 stars are Angelina Siege, silverAsh, 2x Exuciai and Saria... well worth it, with 84 days of monthly card supply.

It's a bad idea but realistically the packs are limited. It's not like you can afford to get 3 levels when the banner with your waifu is ending tomorrow.

I think, only buy the 6 star. You will get plenty of 5 stars over time especially with the gaurentee in the banner. But getting a 6 star is such a low probability it is always going to be worth it as a non whale.

The way you say ambience is old english lol. I also thought the furniture icon was a hammer but upon closer inspection, I'm pretty sure it's just a nail. I don't think spending prime for sanity is worth it. It's a pve game... I get it if there was a pvp aspect or a leaderboard.

[@SaltareObscurum]

The Prices of this game are insane, I play many Gatcha games but 10 Bugs for 10 Rolls is insane

[@Delphineas]

I'm going to have to quibble about your point about converting OP to Orundum. Since everyone starts out with 3800 orundrum, I got antsy when I rerolled and spent OP to do a 10 roll on the 6k banner, maybe even to do another 10 pull on the newbie banner. Ended up starting out with Eljya, Siege and Texas and my 2nd reroll account. Now I'm in save mode for skins and future banners. I agree that it isn't something you want to spend constantly, but starting out with a decent boost is nice, if a gamble. Also helping my decision was that the Exusai banner was ending in a few days since I started late and rerolled later.

[@peacecow3238]

And that's perfectly fine! The idea is that some people don't just use a little bit more to roll, they use it ALL and as soon as they get it. That part in the video was to prevent that.

[@sen5466]

8:44 "Once you've bought out these three" ... one of them has infinite stock though, lol. Anyway, about the conversion rate of sanity to red ticket, does that apply to all farmable stages or just the last one?

[@peacecow3238]

The grind to E2 never ends! For the stages, the first one is around a 1.3 to 1.4 conversion rate, but unlike the CE and LS stage, the AP stages should be done at "endgame"

Quick question, do you recommend buying all the level up packs ? (Since it gets more expensive every time)

[@peacecow3238]

Up to lvl 25 is fair game imo, after that be careful

[@victoireli7465]

as a Chinese server player,i do recommend every player buy All the level up packs,because the orginites you spend(in effect you can get all of them from the 3 stars reward )is equal to the Orundum in the pack, whick means the other ressource is free.Normally we may spend serveral days or weeks to get these ressources,I had use 800,000 LMD and about two weeks for my Exusiai...

[@Ageleo]

For the banner list, how can you tell who's going to be tradable for gold certificates?

[@nonameno4643]

from gamepress.gg/arknights/guide/arknights-currency-and-shop-guide : "You can see which 5 and 6 Star Operators are likely to be coming based on the banners for the CN version, which can be seen in our Banner List. The 5 Star Operator that will be purchasable with DCs is the one in the middle of the group of 5 Star Operators. The 6 Star Operator that will be in the shop is the one slightly further back than the other (or smaller text)." Banner List: gamepress.gg/arknights/database/banner-list-gacha PS: as far as I understood, only "Standard Pool ##" counts.

[@MiikiSama]

Sry about the probably (?) dumb question but I already got it that the 6-star in the certificate shop changes to the 6-star on the current banner that is not the highlight, like Angelina now and Nightingale when the Siege banner drops after the one we currently have. What I don't know is how do I know which 5-star between the 3 with rate up on the banner will be in the certificate shop. Also what 6-star will be available in the certificate shop if the banner only has 1 6-star with rate up instead of 2? Sry again and thx for the help c;

[@dragontmp44]

From my understanding, the 5-star will be the one in the middle of the 5-stars shown, and there will always be 2 6-stars in the normal banner. The shop is based off the normal banner which will always be available.

[@peacecow3238]

What Drakon said is correct, the only time they didn't follow this rule was the next banner, where Texas will be in the shop. Otherwise, it will ALWAYS be the middle operator of the trio.

[@kokodayo4359]

How limited are Originite Primes?

[@SjahalNoori]

about 300 for clearing the story and challenge levels i hear you can also get them in events and in the preregistration reward

[@jonathannateesri5666]

Will the monthly pass automatically charge you again the following month?

[@peacecow3238]

Nope, but you can buy multiple up to 90 days max

[@blackkat101]

Note that the Starter Headhunting Pack is actually worse than buying the Originite Prime packs with the first time purchase bonus. It is however better once the Originite Prime packs don't have the bonus up (and this is the price per single pull). The 10-pull tickets force you to do all ten pulls in one go, when if trying to stretch your Originite Prime and the like as much as possible, you want to do single pulls until you get a 5+star (guaranteed one in your first 10 pulls) and stop as soon as you get that. Then wait and save your Originite Prime until the next gacha. Meaning while the 10-pull tickets are a better deal than the normal packs without the first time purchase bonus, they are only better in situations where you get that guaranteed 5+ star on the 10th pull or you just plan on pulling lots on that single gacha until you get what you want and you don't get it by the 9th pull, then from 10 onwards would be a better deal.

[@Brynhildrify]

the link only show featured units, how do i know which one's gonna be redeemable?

[@KenseiSeraph]

I saw mention somewhere that it is usually the 6 star in the middle of the banner image. Not sure about the 5 star though.

[@shiyoamayaki8206]

Nice video. So how many originite primes do I need to buy all the skins?

[@kaffeemachine4617]

some skins are free, others are 15 to 18 originite primes per skin

[@ria706]

So monthly card, emergency sanity potion = 60 sanity .. . 30 x 60 = 3600 sanity? i dont think so, its 1800

[@Pannykun]

While the originate does provide a lot of uses, the use of grinding LMD takes your sanity just like that. So I think having an 80000 LMD boost is great

[@peacecow3238]

it does if you can afford it every week, but imo priority on other selections makes it a worse option. It's still good, just comparatively bad...

Not really, tho I do suggest holding back a bit on E1'ing vanguards unless you have enough battle records to level them up a few levels. Because when operators E1 they also increase their cost, this may or may not result in the auto-battle system failing to deploy or mimic the original copy. (do ask me to clarify if this is a bit technical)

[@Eggkao]

Hey man just a question, will the game ever give some materials for us to summon in the banner more? I already used 4 tenfold summons and it looks impossible to gather up more

[@peacecow3238]

You get around 5 summons every week. You get those through your dailies, weeklies, and annihilation.

[@lexkek5625]

Stop doing 10 summons. Only do singles on banners that guarantee a 5 or 6 star. Once you get a 5 or 6 quit rolling. You'll potentially save a ton of orumdum for future polls. Use head hunting permits to your advantage as well. Save em up for single rolls to save even more orumdum. You'll start getting tons of orumdum per week once you can clear annihilation, dailies, and weeklies.

[@matejstemberk8110]

why do i have no skins in the skins shop xd
