Cheaper way to get Magik

Would it be cheaper to get magik if you didnt buy the final token on the first and second rotation and used the ones from the 3 that you get by beating the grandmaster challenge with the 6 star? That way you save up 50000 radiance which you can use to get 1 more tokens on the next rotation since the price increases with each time you buy it so you can essentially not have to buy the last token since they are the most expensive ones. = here are the calculations

Step 1: €20.000 ████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
Step 2: €20.040 ████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
Step 3: €20.320 ████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
Step 4: €21.080 █████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
Step 5: €22.560 █████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
Step 6: €25.000 ██████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
Step 7: €28.640 ███████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
Step 8: €33.720 █████████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
Step 9: €40.480 ███████████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
Step 10: €49.160 ████████████████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░

Fully buying the first rotation costs 281.000 radiance and if you have done the challenges buying till the 7th step on the 2nd rotation would cost an extra 157.640. This makes Magiks cost be 438.640 Radiance but if you buy only till the 8 step on the first rotation (191.360) + buying till the 9th step on the second rotation (231840) = 423200.

Its not really the craziest difference but you would be saving yourself 15440 radiance. Or if you are that amount short you would still get her.

Most expensive way would be 562.000 radiance
Inbetween buying full cycles would be 438.640 radiance
Cheapest way would be 423.200 radiance

I mean the cheapest option would be buying a single token every rotation and using the free ones which would be 340k radiance in total with the free ones

Indeed. But I think OP is aiming for the Shiny Magik.

Trueee . But that's gonna take a year and a half

Btw, since First Appearance has a duration of 70 days, we can spread it under three purchase cycles right

Not sure about that one, I think one cycle is 35 days so the intend is that those who fully buy on the first 2 cycles get first appearance because that technicly would count as Magik's upmost 'first appearance'. The more important question is if you would be able to claim 2 or 3 Battlegrounds radiance rewards. Also it takes a bit to get the radiance so if it is 3 seasons I hope we get all the Radiance before the 70 days

There's one for 20k in the sigil store without subscription

Thanks for telling me this I wouldn't have visited the sigil store otherwise.

and it resets every 12 days so we can get 5 that way

@Kabam (Osaurus) Rex will there be a way to get all 40 limbo tokens before magik "releases" without spending money or will the limit be ~28?

By releases I guess i mean before the first appearance timer is up

So my guess is this is a mistake for people without the sigil. Also it will probably be on the monthly cycle as the other monthly items are at 11 days right now for their refresh timer so one every 30 days. Still, that's three tokens for 20,000 radiance a piece further lowering the cost.

This isn't rocket science.

You either pay a lot more radiance to get here in the next 2 months shiny, or you play the long game and she's cheaper to obtain but you'll be waiting a while.

Why do you need 40 tokens for shiny Magik. We can get her for 20. The other two offers can be bought later on.

Well if you read what i said Im asking if it would be possible to get them all by the last day via radiance or other methods than money

I'm just asking why.

You want the resources as soon as you get her? Or these items for Magik + other champ?

Idk but... probably not for all 40, by design the tokens are limited.

@ahmynuts 40 Limbo Tokens before the cosmetic goes away?
I don't believe so - but she only costs 20… and that is very doable.

The bundles also aren't going away, only the first appearance.

JESUSCHRIST

I bought 2 limbo tokens for 40,000 radiance for a start

And so it begins……..

Unfortunate but understandable. Would have been really cool to be able to get First Appearance Magik, R4, Awaken, and Sig 200 her all relatively at the same time

Average_Desi

So that is a total of 6 (3 from the challenge+ 3 from Sigil strore) = 60k radiance.

Then we need 14 from the Radiance store. 7 each.

That would out the minimum cost at 157,640*2= 315,280 + 60,000 = 375,280

@ahmynuts at least you can use those stone someone like Madeline Pryor. So that’s good to. And if you had a few rank up gem around. And another gem. But yea I get what you’re meant

You can still do that if you want, I probably will be. The Items work on all #DimensinalBeings, so they will have value for a wide variety of Champions.
