How much are crystals really worth?

[GunslingerMongoose 198]

I asked myself this question after having a similar discussion with one of my clan mates in World of Tanks: Blitz. We were both curious what the value of gold (Premium currency in World of Tanks Blitz) was so that we could estimate the value of certain tanks. Well, after working it out, I decided to apply the same logic to Tanki Online's sole currency, crystals. Here's what I found (Please note the values are only estimates and that they may be off by a few crystals.)

 

One cent's worth of crystals is about 15 crystals. By the way, this is in US dollars if anyone living out of the US is wondering. This makes the value per dollar about 1,500 crystals.

 

Hope you all found this little bit of most likely useless information helpful ;)

200 000 (if you don't have DCC) for 50 € (4000 crystals for 1 €). So, 1 crystal worths 0.00025 €

 

But, depending of the package 1 crystal can worth more or less than 0.00025 €

Oh wait you play that? Waw, I do too, EU region, enuff said

 

Jokes aside, now that is fun... Talking back to blitz, I once checked the value of special grind event currecies, and here it'd be cool to know how much a certain thing is worth :P Especially M3s, just allow us to check how much free players earn hueh

Please don't talk about Jageroos... My SP 1 C is sensitive to that word... >_>

Don't mention  ISU-152s, Rhm-B WTs, or T6 Draculas either...

Isn't the place to talk this (PM maybe) but Draculas (and AMX CDCs for that matter) are toys to my T-43, Waffles aren't so toyish but not too horrible, ISUs I rarely encounter hueh, Spices (SP I C nickname by me) is a horribly deadly tank tho, wait how do you face Jaggie ECs with Tier 7?! (thats my nickname for the JP E100 ok) (btw Blitz players here, my nick is Penguin4T5, on EU region)

 

Back to topic, so each dollar worth 1.5k crystals, well that means you need like 300 dollars for an M3 kit (considering this rate)? Oh wow, now that is expensive, we free players do earn quite a large amount of virtual, useless dollars for free :P

If you are a free player, then you have two options:

1) you play only as much as you like to, and wait until you get good equipment.

Then Crystals are truely for free (they come as a side product of your fun-time)

 

2) you want a specific turret and need enough free crystals in time before the sale.

Or you have your turrets are are in trouble to make them M4.

Then you pay with your time.. and most likely you pay gamemodes, maps and turrets that give the most cyrystals per hour, insted of giving you the most fun.

Take the average income you could have in that time if you would work... and find out that earning 2000 crystals per hour at a brigadeer..legend rank is a pretty low wage / or comes at a high price.

 

You would realise that it is more efficient if you do some real work (for money) and give it to Tanki; but as they said most (not all!) of their typical players are 14..18 and either in school or jobless.
