Spending priorities: what to buy first, and what never to buy

Update 9/14: the cash catalogue changed at Taiwan’s 9/9 maintenance (notice 3540940 / update log 3541097). 神秘奧義全套套組 and its 套組點數 shop closed 9/9 05:59 and unused points were deleted — but a NEW 套組點數商店 with 15 items runs 9/9–11/25, 皇家交響全套套組 is the new full pack (→11/25), and the weekly/monthly/special/class packs (19 class packs incl. 電擊術士) and the pass ticket were relisted. Pack names below are the pre-9/9 ones; prices were not printed in the log.

⚠️ The price comes from the official announcement of the Taiwan server and the App Store, converted to a derived value. Subject to actual store.

Remember three numbers first

**① NT$1 = 4.6 M coins, the same at every level. ** NT$33=152 · NT$150=690 · NT$500=2,300 · NT$1,000=4,600 · NT$1,500=6,900 · NT$3,000=13,800

**There are no discounts on large packages at all. ** The package purchased for NT$3,000 is exactly the same as the one purchased six times for NT$500. So always buy just enough to cover the smallest denomination you have to spend.

② 1 unprocessed Deca = 10 Deca = 10 M coins ≈ NT$2.17

This is the universal key to dismantling any gift package: deduct the Deka rough stone at 10 M coins, and the remaining M coins are the money you actually paid for the content**.

③ Google Play Points can be exchanged for M coins (152 M coins = 110 points, etc.). You can’t see this in the in-game store, you have to go to the Play Store app to buy it.

The order of buying (this order has a hard truth)

No. 1: Attendance reward package — 1,200 M coins (approximately NT$261)

After logging in for 14 days, you will be rewarded with 1,200 M coins** (300+400+500). In addition, you will be given: Unprocessed Gold Rough Stone ×24, Unprocessed Deka Rough Stone ×60, Rough Starlight Prism ×3, Alchemy Catalyst ×4, and Rune Fragments ×300.

**100% return on investment. ** The actual cost of everything in the box is zero, the only cost is to log in for 14 days. **Buying anything before buying this is strictly a worse choice. **

Pick 2: Four new glove sets — a total of NT$309

1,430 M coins, which is 140 more than the 1,290 full membership.

**So if you buy it in order, your first month is free. **

Pick 3: Membership — but buy the right one

⚠️ Taiwan server has four kinds of members, not one:

**Three items are traps. ** With all the discounts, it’s cheaper than any two items combined.

Exclusive to the Section Chief: The only large amount worth it

Complete set of mysterious secrets ×7 = 27,860 M coins (approximately NT$6,057) - This is the only way to get the legendary jewelry runes.

**Buy 1 or buy 7, never buy 2~6. ** If the middle amount is not guaranteed, the money will be thrown into the water.

🇰🇷 Comparison with the Korean server: money can’t be compared, time can

Money: not compared. Taiwan tops up at NT$1 = 4.6 M coins, flat at every tier with no volume discount; Korea tops up at ₩10 = 1 M캐시, also flat. Turning that into “X% cheaper” needs an exchange rate, and this site’s own pricing dataset forbids exactly that: the Korean prices are recorded “for comparison only — do NOT convert these to NT$ and present the result as a Taiwanese price”, and nothing in it is converted between currencies. The previous version of this line claimed Taiwan was about 4% cheaper; that figure had no source and has been removed, along with the membership comparison built on the same conversion. What follows compares cleanly, because it needs no exchange rate at all.

**Time: ⚠️ The Taiwan server pass only lasts for 28 days per season, while the Korean server pass lasts for 42 days, with the same price and the same content. ** Players on the Taiwan server get one-third less time for the same money.

**Compensation for Taiwan server: Burning Week Taiwan server is the last two weeks (accounting for 50% of a season), and Korean server only has one week (about 17%). Therefore, the suggestion of “buying as soon as the season starts” for the Korean server does not apply to the Taiwanese server - the Taiwanese server can buy it later, since the burning week ratio is much higher anyway.

**The Korean server has something that the Taiwanese server does not: **The 7-day membership coupon of the Korean server can be purchased with game currency on the exchange (2,000+ deka), which means you can have a membership without taking classes. Currently, Taiwanese servers do not have any channels to buy memberships using Deka - this is the biggest structural gap between Taiwan and South Korea.

**What to do with the Taiwan server now: **Buy according to the order above, the first month is free; after that, only full-service members will be retained, and others can be left alone.
