End Game Banquet Crystal Acquisition

EDIT: my phone posted this twice, please feel free to remove this one.

In yesterday's stream, it was mentioned that there will be different banquet crystals for end game players. My question is: will the Greater Banquet Crystal Tokens we got from the Trader's Outpost in things like the Mr. Sinister bundles be able to be used for these higher level crystals if we are at a high enough progression?

We have actually decided the crystal tokens acquired through Banquet tickets will be able to purchase the Superior Banquet Crystals for everyone. We will try to get all the descriptions updated to be accurate.

BringPopcorn

Hmm that doesn't seem fair, there is people from lower progeession who weren't able to purchase the 7*, already had a 6* or weren't interested at all who will benefit more...

kvirr

Dude that’s a great decision. Awesome.

kvirr

Can’t make Everyone happy unfortunately

BringPopcorn

Meh not even sure on the price; but its not about happy or not in this case. There are milestones and such involved.
I wouldn't have traded my 7* Sinister; but come think about it.. this info would have been nice for people who bought the 6*.

Kabam Crashed

Why will they benefit from this more?

BringPopcorn

There is a higher chance that buying a 5* or a 6* wasn't needed or even worthy, which means keeping more tickets.
Those banquet tokens don't have a purchase limit.

Buttehrs

I mean why buy the 5 or 6* anyways? Shouldn't people be getting the 7*?

kvirr

Well they need to buy something. So….

GroundedWisdom

That doesn't add up. You get the proportionate amount no matter what you buy. 10 for the 7* acquisition, 6 for the 6*, etc. You get the same as if you spent your Tickets on Crystals.

PantherusNZ

The bundles for a 6* or 7* Sinister ALSO gave as many tokens as the same number of tickets would've purchased.

7* Bundle gave 10 tokens along with Sinister + Rankup Gem for 100 tickets. 10 tickets bought a single token.

BringPopcorn

Yes, but i don't think everyone had access to 129 tickets...I might be wrong

Buttehrs

I think 129 was achievable by everyone.

BringPopcorn

Ok got it, call myself stupid. Forgot the bundles actually had tokens inside. I will do my walk of shame.

BringPopcorn

Nah the other guys are right, it would be stupid not to buy any bundles since you get tokens too.

GroundedWisdom

All good. We all have moments.

Speaking of these Greater Banquet Crystal Tokens, can you tell us the value of each individual token? A straight 1 for 1? Reason I ask, I've already purchased 7* Sinister bundle & have enough to purchase either 6* Sinister bundle (don't really need or want) or just trade them in for tokens? Thanks

BringPopcorn

Learn from my brain fart, you get more on the bundles

PantherusNZ

You get the same number of tokens, plus also the 6* Sinister and rank-up gem - you are in no way worse-off to get the 6* bundle, and only benefit.

Buttehrs

Even if you don't need the 6*, the gems and shards from dupe make up for it.

MrSakuragi

Only paragon+. Lower progressions didn’t have access to some events with tickets.

Buttehrs

Yea true but anyone paragon+ would've gone for the 7* anyways.

Alone13

Awesome man

Giantwalrus56

Both have the word bundle in the title. Which bundle are you talking about? 6* Sinister or the token bundle?

kvirr

Not sure if this was mentioned in stream, but do the sup banquet crystals give more points ? Or just better rewards ?

10or_Strong

The Sinister bundle gives you the same number of Tokens as you would get just buying the Tokens themselves, AND you get the Sinister and rank up gems IN ADDITION for no extra cost.

Example: 100 tickets can buy you the 7* Sinister bundle or 10 Tokens (at 10 tickets per token). HOWEVER, the 7* Sinister bundles INCLUDES 10 Tokens along with 7* Sinister and the rank up gem (and I think also sig stones?). So it's a much better value.

Hi @Kabam Crashed

Just want to thank you, again this is an amazing pro players decision for everyone.

This is a big win, along with the warming about Maestro awaken

Many thanks again for these, it is much appreciated.

Also thank you to @10or_Strong for posting this, I was also planning to ask the same question.

Amanda_Cruze

So superior banquet Crystals will be 300 units and greater will be 200 units?

I remember Thronebreaker and above are eligible for superior banquet Crystals

AnvilOfCrom

I think the question boils down to as to whether the purchase of any Sinister bundle will grant you GBC or SBC. It currently states that the crystals in the sinister bundles are GBC, not SBC. So if you use your tickets to buy one of those Sinister bundles, are you receiving GBC’s or SBC’s? Can anyone clarify please?

Bendy

Its updated the banquet crystal tokens says sbc on them
