Hi Dreamer! I've been wondering how long it takes to save up 300 pulls as F2P. Do you have some idea? Because I really, really want Skalter, so I intend to save until I can spark her someday. Right now I have 130 pulls or so
It’s hard to give a precise answer since there’s too many variables, but we can hazard some manner of guess:
JUST from logging in and doing dailies, weeklies, and getting the 3 green cert tier 1 shop permits, you are looking at a year for 308 pulls.
Now add to this that this is not accounting for Orundum gained from doing any source. Main story maps, event maps, maintenance compensation, gifts from Hypergryph, etc. That is to say, assuming you’re up to date with story content, you’ll still take less than a year to save a spark fully F2P, as events and other sources will give you more funds over time. Reruns also give you 2000 Orundum from intel certs, if you are eligible for those.
Now, an Anniversary event, the ones in which you can cash in for an Anniversary Operator, like the Corrupting Heart, comes with 24 free pulls (10 free + 14 free dailies), around 10 pulls worth of Orundum from map clears, and since you’ll be going in hog wild with rolls, very likely enough gold certs to get the 38 ‘free’ pulls from gold cert shop. These events also come with some sort of log in minigame that gives additional Orundum, so that’s more funds. All of this meaning, you don’t need to actually show up with 300 pulls to the event, 250, 270 or so are enough, depending on how impatient you are for your desired would-be spark.
Guesstimating from the hip with all of this information, fully F2P, aiming for a spark in realistic terms, will likely take you 8-9ish months, from absolute 0 Orundum or otherwise pulls. Haphazard scheduling and a myriad of variables get in the way of a precise answer but I think that’s an educated guess.
