Seeing all these posts about invoker persona now being marketable, and some people complaining that they paid for it in the 2019 or 2021 battle pass, I just wanted to run some quick math to see if the marketable version of the persona is really cheaper than the battle pass?
iam using USD for the prices since it's what I use to buy battle pass. and max reward in 2021 nemestice battle pass was lvl 330 (spectre arcana) and kid invoker persona was 275. and iam using the nemestice 2021 prices since it was the last time kid invoker was in a battle pass. And I want to ignore free lvls to calculate the maximum cost.
So the lvl 100 bundle from the start of the battle pass costs 41.99$. the lvl bundles which give 120 lvls cost 29.98$. so we paid 71.97$ for 220 lvls. we need 55 more lvls to reach kid invoker. 24 lvls costs 9.99$ and 11 lvls cost 4.99$. so 24.97$ for 59 lvls. which leaves us at lvl 279 for a total cost of 96.94$.
So for the cost of 96.94$ ( keep in mind I did not use the 120 free lvls you can get by playing, calculating those would reduce the cost to 56.98$) yo got:
dark artistry kid invoker
Dk persona
nemestice creeps
5 taunts
a shit ton of treasures
other stuff
At the time of making this post the new heir of menace bundle costs 85.27$ at the market. keep in mind by purchasing the persona in the battle pass you get a shit ton of other rewards,including the dark artistry immortal set, while those who buy the bundle in the market are only paying for the persona and the set. so even if the price goes down to let's say 45$ it's still a fair deal.
