Do people actually buy these and if so, is it just for the convenience?
A legendary monsters will cost you 249 (usually), so if you you level it up to 100 that's 2.49 gems per cell. The cell packs look like they are always 120 cells for 375 gems. That's 3.125 gems per cell. It is a slower method to hatch, feed, extra, and THEN finally rank, but it is cheaper.

As you said maybe they buy them for the convenience of saving on the hatching and extraction times. In theory it might be worth it but I have not been tempted because each one that has been on sale has not been anything I want nor at a convenient time when I have had the gems to spare. Oh wait....when have I ever had gems to spare??

HAHA! Yes, I was happy to spend about 600 on the VIP breeding. Now I am trying to build back up, but that means I will have none to spare for this breeding event. Good thing I am not racing anymore.

I am quite happy to buy them, the time and food saved offsets the increased price to me. Although i only do it for monsters i use alot otherwise i do the hatching method and take it slow.

I personally don't buy them.

I bought 2 packs of Timerion to get him to rank 3 just cuz I had the gems at the time. And it did make it nice and easy. And I never seemed to have the gems when he went on sale which I don't think is very often. So I think they're good for a once in a great while deal.

I’ve been getting a lot of rank offers with the unranked version being 299

Yes, it seems that certain monsters show up that way. I think Cloud and Patrion show up with that pricing, as opposed to the 249 price. Still that would put the per cell cost at 2.99 per cell. Although at that point, the convenience factor maybe higher.

Also I have not looked at whether they are giving you a deal on the higher ranked monsters.

All premier monsters are 299 gems base price

The two rank monsters sell for 899. You would need to buy 4 eggs and feed 3 to 100 before extracting to get enough cells. Good deal if it's a monster you don't have, otherwise not so much.

I never bought cells packs for gems but twice i ranked teamshop monsters using cells . it is a luxury way if you can afford it

@Haka-Taka said in Cell packs:

the better deal is either buy rank 2 or 3 then buy rankless monster to rank it higher

I think that is what Bruce was suggested, at least I took it that he believes those monsters are a good deal. Now I would just need to save that many gems!

@Kaiju
OOps my bad .. maybe i was a sleepy last night . thanks for correction

@Kaiju ...never bought one either, just not worth it!!! I rather save the 75 gems that they cost extra. If it'd be 20 gems extra, I could maybe be swayed for the convenience but not 75!!!
