[Trading] The Price of a Legendary Core


So recently another set of Legendary Cores was released. This sparked a buying frenzy in Trading. The question though is, how much is a Legendary Core?

If you've read this post, you know that to max a Primed mod, you'd need 528 R5s and about 1.6 mil credits.

Assuming you've got credits to burn, how much should you be buying Legendary cores? Should you even be buying them?

Let's look at the numbers.Each trade allows you to get 5 items. In the market, 5 cores sells for 4 plat, this  is a very conservative amount. I've seen people offer 2-3 plat per 5 cores. For the purpose of this, I will use the most conservative value, which is 5 R5s for 4 plat.

Rounding it up, you'd need 530 R5s. Also each trade is taxed, 1 rare mod will cost you 8k and 5 rare mods will cost 40k.

At 4 plat for 5 R5s, you can buy 530 cores for 424 plat after 106 trades. 106 trades will also cost you 4,240,000 credits.

The full cost of a Legendary core then sums up to 424 platinum, and 5,903,200 Credits.

This doesn't account for all the trades you'd have to do and time you'd need to acquire the credits.

Whatever amount you're going to offer, you'd have to consider convenience and it's price.

So, how much is a Legendary core? I'd have to ask you, how much your time is. :)


PS

I didn't get a Legendary Core :(
