For a new'ish player with no 6-stars yet, do you reckon it's worth saving for the 8k box to get the 25k guild coins (it would would net a Queen and perhaps key 4/5 stars for fusions) or get the Demon Hunter-box? I mean how would you rate the boxes in necessity for newbies. Got a full 5*star rainbow team currently and struggling with Gerke @ 8-5 on campaign.
I would suggest not buying anything from the guild store except guild tech. I know you want to. But I really cannot recommend anything from the guild store. My biggest regret is ever buying anything from there. It's all about Guild Tech. That and monster aura will make an epic difference on your team.
- The 500 gem box is a no brainer. The 5 heroic scrolls alone are a good deal. The pet mats are a bonus.
- I personally find the 2000 box worth it because of the gear. That gear will last you a very long time. The super casino chips are worthless (I mean they are OK but I don't consider them in the cost of the box - you're paying for the gear, not the chips)
- The 3600 box is also not a bad deal. The absolute cheapest you can get prophet orbs normally is 400 each from the vendor in aspen when you buy 5 of them iirc. So 8 of them is 3000 gems. The gear at this point is just 600 gems. But like the casino chips, you're really paying for the gear here. You just have to ask yourself if 8 orbs is worth it. I personally found it a good deal.
- The 6400 box is a bad deal, I think for almost anyone. DH is a good hero, esp for PvP (As Wanand said, not so much PvE). While 20K dust is nice, it's largely worthless (20k dust is enough to do -1- celestial gem upgrade). If this was an Asmodal or Das Moge (L/D) I might buy it, but for Demon Hunter? Nah. She's already common enough.
- The 8000 box is a "decent" deal in my opinion, but ONLY for old players. Not really for new players. The damage reduction artifact is SWEET (Maxed it's 30% reduce damage and 14% hp) but as a new player, it's going to take you a long time to max it. You need 5760 points per rank to max it and it maxes at 6 ranks, so about 34,500 points to max. The Barea skin is there to "coax" you to buy it. I wouldn't. You'll earn it over time. Barea is a decent hero, but you likely don't have him, and you don't want to use the skin until he's 10 star anyway. As for the guild coins, 25k isn't bad, but it's not worth that many gems. You are much better off being in a guild with a maxed out mill, and spending gems on order upgrades to 3/4 star for more guild coins that way IMO.
Edit: Also the black card is TOTALLY worth it, though if you're really low level maybe not so much.
