Sylph equipment component balen values

I wanted to write an analysis of the Lucky Rabbit to help you decide whether to open or exchange, and if exchange, for what – but first, I needed to determine the value of some new items. Below is a loooong boring analysis with numbers. If you don't want to read that (I wouldn't) here are just the balen values I came up with.
Golden holy water: 1 balen
Glint of magic, magical moonlight: 1 balen
Divinity soul: 50 balens
Blessing of god, gift of god: 10-12 balens
Will even try to add a few pictures later to make this post look nicer :) But now it's pretty late.

Based on this, I try to finish the analysis tomorrow (I hope it's still in time).

Gold value: Since a long time, I say 50k gold worth 1 balens. This is based on gold spent on astrals which increase BR. Since a while, I have astrals maxed out, so I checked if this value is still valid. Right now, I can use gold to refine the astral slot which I use for Determination. I need approx. 800M gold to get +1% determination, which is +0,8% ATK. I have 100k MATK so this will give me +800 ATK. 800M gold for 800 ATK means the gold value is rather 100k gold per 1 balens now.

Sylph equipment stats: When I started this blog, I said never pay balen for an item when you get +1 BR for more than 10 balens. With the late bigger and bigger promotions, we can safely say this limit has decreased, but for consistency, whenever I calculate BR into balens, I still use the 10 balen : 1 BR ratio. But! a sylph equipment stat does not always increase your BR directly. HP does, but ATK and DEF works only in awakened form. (which is still important, since battles are decided in this phase.) Also, a sylph equipment's value decreases greatly when you give it to a secondary or tertirary sylph. So in case of sylph equipment, I rather use the 5 balen : 1 BR ratio.

Sylph equipment shard: Although Wartune tries to sell you this item constantly, it worth NOTHING! Anyone will have enough in no time to fully equip 3 sylph. So the only value of these is when you sell it for 5000 gold (ie. 0,05 balens).

Golden holy water: The most convenient way to get these is during Cloud adventures. Usually, you need to buy a magic dice to reach a boss. It will yield you 45 golden holy water (or 30 + will crystal/crystal shard) and 3x glint of magic and magical moonlight. When you buy a magic dice for 180 bound balens, depending the roll you have to make the boss, you get 1-1.7 extra roll also at the end of the Cloud adventures, which worth 120-200 balens. Based on these 2 equations (cost of magic dice – value of final roll, and comparison with will crystals / crystal shard) we can say a golden holy water worth 1 balen at most, even when the +stats you can gain by them worth more.

Glint of magic and Magical moonlight:The best balen buy for these were the „buy 100 of each + 500 bound balens for 2k balens” was (which was still very expensive). Since you can use them to get some more, the average value in this sale was 5 balens. You need an average of 164 of these and some 20M gold to level up a blue equipment to lvl 10 and gain +753 stat (4,6 / stat). You need 344 more and 100M (?) gold to make it a maxed out purple with 1859 more stat (5,4 / stat), and 524 more and 300M (?) gold to make it epic increasing its stat by 1493 more (2,8 / stat). The gold cost is not so great (/stat) for blue and purple, but for orange, it is significant. Calculated from this data, a 1 balen is realistic price for each these items AS LONG as you use them to develop your main sylph, and increase your own BR. After you start using these for your 2nd and 3rd sylph, their value diminish greatly.

Divinity soul: Yet another item where determining the value is very difficult. Let's suppose you always make lvl 3+ divinity gems only during events. So a lvl 2 needs 4, a lvl 3 8, a lvl 4 16, and a lvl 5 32 divinity souls. A lvl 5 divinity soul +610 stats (or 3660 HP, which is about the same), so it's +19 stat / divinity soul. Unless this is HP, it applies only to your sylph, which works only in sylph form –based on this, it's value is approx 100 balens. Please note 2 factors: sometimes you will use more than 32 lvl 1 souls to make a lvl 5. And, after a while, you will make souls for your 2nd and 3rd sylph – then it will be much less useful. So I would say a 50 balen average value is more realistic.

Blessing of god: It's very hard to determine the value of this, since it does not increase BR directly, just let's you use additional resources. When you upgrade an item, the basic stat increase comes from using glint / moonlight, and the cost is already calculated there. The same is true for the additional divinity soul slot: there, you pay for the divinity souls to gain BR. So direct benefit of blessing of god can be the extra refine slot, the increased stat of all the refine slots. The stat gain here can vary greatly, but you will get at least +500 in refine stats, compared to a blue item. Of course, to refine you still need to spend bound balens and golden holy waters, so 10-12 balen is a realistic price for each blessing of god.

Gift of god: The average stat increase can be a bit higher here, like +600, but you will need more bound balen to for the refine. So in average, the value of this item is the same as of the blessing of god.

Divinity soul and other great combos

I spent a lot of time on the weekend converting all my leftover cloth into sepulcrum and mount whips. I had about 70 chest of cloth (where I really need only like 10 for the next 3 cloth event) so converted 60 into like 4000 sepulcrum and 12000 mount whips, which, in turn, netted me like 240 extra new year chests. 

The cloth chests I got for free from the last 4-5 cloth events. I got like 100 new year chests for free from resist crystal and other events, but had no real luck so I bough 52 more for 1600 balens. At the end, I got a full set of cloth, mount, 70 divinity souls, 4000 sepulcrum, 12000 mount whip and other goodies. Pretty good deal in exchange for 1600 balens and items I didn't really need anyway. 

The usual sylph gear events are up now: divinity soul and sylph gear enchantment.

Divinity soul

Making higher level divinity souls need a LOT of lvl 1 gems normally. 4x for lvl2, 16x for lvl3, 64x for lvl 4, and 256x lvl5. Considering the shop price (100 balen / divinty soul) and how little BR they give, this looks a very bad deal. Fortunately, you could farm some divinty souls for free with the above cloth conversion combo, and the hot event rewards halve the cost of making them.

If you can do every combines each day, it can save you 170 divinity souls daily, 680 in total!

I did both previous divinty soul hot events, spent about 2k balens each time. After the second event, I had 5x lvl 4 gems, 3x lvl3 gems and a bunch of lvl1 gems. Using these and the 70 gems I found from the new year chests, now I will end up with 3x lvl5 gems, and several lvl 4 and lvl3 - without spending balens.

The theory is the same as with the resist crystals. If you do as much combines as possible during (and only during) the hot events, then you do the upgrades at mega-discount. If I would just buy a large amount of lvl1 gems and make them into 3x lvl5 and some lvl4, it would cost me 100k balens! But this way it cost only 4k, giving approx. +4k BR to my sylph (and me). So you can achieve very good BR / balen if you make the right investment which can multiply by time.

I do the same with clothes and resist crystals. With a total of 3k balens spent, now I have 2x lvl7, 2x lvl6 and many lvl5 resist crystals. But you have to be patient, always do the proper amount of combines during events which get you the maximum reward.

Sylph gear enhancement


This is the biggest gold sink in Wartune's history. I had a purple sylph gear which I could upgrade to orange, but waited until this event to do this. Making a lvl 20 purple equip cost me like 200M+ gold. Unfortunately, when you upgrade it to orange, you have to enchant it from level1. And while my lvl 20 purple equip gave 3262 ATK, the brand new lvl1 orange only 750. After spending all my gold and reserves (like 150M in total), it's only lvl 15 and gives only 2379ATK. So it looks like when you upgrade a lvl20 purple to an orange lvl20, it will be only 50 more attack (!!!). Max. enchant level is 24 only, so you don't gain much. 

So the funny thing is, we have the sylph gears, we even have the glints/moonlights do upgrade them - but lack gold (or at least, I do). Fortunately, this event lasts for 3 days so I can spend everything I earn during this time as well.

Right now, it looks like that the only sylph equip which might worth upgrading to orange is the one which gives attack (and even that is a hell lot of gold for a neglectable bonus).
