Had this question in my mind since i woke up. Since i made some results i thought it would be nice to share to all who are interested in these numbers.
Warning: they are not really useful though
I hade these questions specifically:
- how many lead cards do i need to get to a cobalt card
- how much trade-up money do i need to get to a cobalt card
After some “serious” math i came up with a little calculator doing some stuff for me now. Here is some of the console output. I finished this just at the moment and am too drunk to hang on, so there might be bugs. Feel free to check these numbers.
Goal: get to 9 Cobalt cards
Traded total of 7776 cards of type LEAD: amount of trade-ups: 2592
Traded total of 2592 cards of type IRON: amount of trade-ups: 864
Traded total of 864 cards of type BRONZE: amount of trade-ups: 216
Traded total of 216 cards of type SILVER: amount of trade-ups: 54
Traded total of 54 cards of type GOLD: amount of trade-ups: 9
Total cost for Trade-Up: 2898000
Total amount of Trade-Ups performed: 3735
So if i choose 1 merc and make myself the goal to get the ONE cobalt card i want, i would need statistically 9 trys to get that cobalt card (maybe even never, or even faster if lucky, i assume there is 9 cards for each rarity for a char). That explains why i searched for 9 cobalt cards.
I also searched for 16 * 9 cobalt cards, which means i would have statistically the cobalt card i want for every character. Here is what agent smith says:
Goal: get to desired Cobalt card for every merc
Traded total of 124416 cards of type LEAD: amount of trade-ups: 41472
Traded total of 41472 cards of type IRON: amount of trade-ups: 13824
Traded total of 13824 cards of type BRONZE: amount of trade-ups: 3456
Traded total of 3456 cards of type SILVER: amount of trade-ups: 864
Traded total of 864 cards of type GOLD: amount of trade-ups: 144
Total cost for Trade-Up: 46368000
Total amount of Trade-Ups performed: 59760
And that is just for cobalt cards :). I am excited to how much i will need to actually get all the freaking cards of the game ^^
