We all know that buying purple+ items from camex/pirate shop is the best value, but not everyone here is vip10+
I did some math on some common items to see if they are worth it or not.
I used 15% success rate per raid attempt assuming they would revert the nerf, if not, then farming items is useless.
Let me know if I'm doing something wrong or someone has better ideas.
Holy Neck Ring Arena Price: 1.600 = 16 soulstones = 16x12x3 = 576 energy = 576/8 = 72 raid attempts 72 raid attempts * 15% success per raid = ~11 shards Conclusion: Buying with credits is cheaper than farming. Farming during double material drop is slightly better than buying with credits.
Angels Wings* Arena Price: 4.000 = 40 soulstones = 40x12x3 = 1440 energy = 1440/8 = 180 raid attempts 180 raid attempts * 15% success per raid = ~27 shards *If you include the fact that Orb of Water also drops in that dungeon, we can increase the overall value of it to: 180 raid attempts * 30% success per raid = ~54 shards Conclusion: Raiding is better since orb of water almost always have some use. Farming during double material drop is slightly better than buying with credits.
Orb of Earth/Water/Fire Arena Price: 3.000 = 30 soulstones = 30x12x3 = 1080 energy = 1080/8 = 135 raid attempts 135 raid attempts * 15% success per raid = ~20 shards Conclusion: Buying with credits is much cheaper than farming. Not worth farming for even during double credits day.
Tome of Earth/Water/Fire Arena Price: 5.200 = Your better off buying the orb + purple item since your cheaper off. There is a good chance that you have the purple item but only need an orb too. Saves alot of credits.

Does anybody know the drop rate now? To me it seems significantly above 15%, maybe closer to 25%.

I wanted to add that the only items I farm or buy for crystals or guild/arena coins are Angel's wings and Fire Orbs/tomes. Everything else I have a stockpile of. Since he wrote this post in feburary there are new ways to obtain purples such as holy neck rings.
That being said, you should purchase every purple item shard you see if it is for sale for gold.

What's the holy neck ring? (They changed all the item descriptions ) We got the 2xloot event on our server today, and just now I managed to complete the last stage on 3* - am now using all available stamina to farm there. Hope the 2 violet items make it worth it? Back to the original question - do you think the drop rate is still around 1/6?

Holy neck ring is now called "hook of spirit".
They severely lowerd drop rates a while back. Now i think i average 1 items shard per 10x raid. With dubble loot you will get on average 2 shards per 10x raid.

Conclusion: farming is basically of the same value as buying with coins, tiny nuances depend on your tactics for better drop. Definitely worth farming during loot events.
