    Yes, there hasn't been anything I want passed Clown.


    If I see a perk I want, i'll nab it, otherwise, BP it is. I'll never bother buying survivors, since they are all the same. Plus Claudette is free so... Clown was the last killer I bought. Besides Doctor and Hag back in the day. Rest of them, I don't really want to play them and will wait for their perks in shrine if I really want one.


    Far as cosmetics go. You get the Prestige clothes. Good enough for me. Makes you harder to find. The buy able cosmetics don't really help much.

    Spending shards for bloodpoints is probably the biggest scam and the worst deal in the history of humans. I'm always suprised how people spend all the hard earned shards for a few bloodpoints.

    Hmm... Maybe I should contact those people and make some deals with them. Seems like I can make a lot of profit with them lol

    I try to keep shards for original chapters, but since Demi is coming I'll probably spend some for BPs

    Aren't bhvr employes getting everything ingame for free anyway? So there is no point for you to save shards anyway.

    Nope. I save them for shard available skins.

    I do but I agree it's silly and they should give more BP than 150k.

    It is quite silly though lol

    For sure, if a cosmetic that I really want shows up I don't mind just getting it with auric cells. Lately I've just been sitting on them to have as much BP as possible when the next chapter comes out though, it helps to be able to save up a million + dailies + shards to buy all 4 perks in the shrine 😄

    I got my black bride nurse and Kate "Aloy" Denson.

    It's the same with my BBQ+Puddin games.

    I spend my shards exclusively on bps, if I want a new cosmetic I'll just buy it, for me time is more valuable than a few bucks. It's really nice when you've already got perk from the shrine and for 2700 you get 250k bps. Not sure what happens if you get a third go round with the same perk hasn't happened to me yet.

    It's basically all I use my shards for.

    It's usually 2000 for 150k. It's only that high if it's the first time in the shrine.

    I've "re bought" ruin like 3 times. Always 150k.

    I save them to at least 10 k and when a new chapter drops I spend 1 M. BP + 4 times the shrine which are 600 k if all Perks cost 2.000 shards. Sometimes they cost 2.7 k

  • joker7997

    You are wrong, if you've already bought a perk in the shrine and it comes up again, it's 2700 and gives 250k bp. I've done it many times.

    I used to, but I’m going to try saving for shard cosmetics especially since I have bbq on several killers and Jane is fully maxed out with all perks.

    Shards for BP? Hell no!!!

    I use my shards for characters or outfits.

    So then how did I get 150k from ruin thrice then?


    It's only 2700 the first time it's in there. Sorry.

  • joker7997

    So are You saying it it's 2000, 2700, and back to 2000? Your other post wasn't clear if that's what you meant. If that's how it goes I have no clue I've never got a third go round.

    It's the only thing i ever do with Iridescent Shards.


    I either don't buy cosmetics (and i don't buy a LOT of them), or i buy what i want with real money, as i simply don't care all that much and don't mind giving SOME more money to the makes of my most played videogame.

    Though the price of all cosmetics is a tad...pricey, if you ask me.


    Also, Shrine of Secrets just sucks with this many characters, and sucks more and more with every character added.

    Look at Barbecue & Chili, i can't imagine liking a Perk the most, but having to wait over a year to get it.

    If I really want something, then yes.

    I used to, but I've gotta' save up for that sweet elephant clown outfit.

    Only at new content, I have enough saved to buy all 4 the day demigorgon comes out and all 4 at reset that night... it’s not a great rate but being capped at 1 million plus a quick 1.2 million blood points means I can level Nancy and the killer both to 40 instantly.

    I don't buy cosmetics with shards because I usually just wear my prestige so yes, BP is what I buy with them.

  • Dwight_Fairfield

    Yes occassionally.

    I only do it when I’m extremely desperate for bp. But the amount you get should definitely be raised as getting 2000 shards is MUCH harder than getting 150k bp.

    If it's the first time THAT PERK is in the shrine, its 2700, not the first time YOU buy it.

    Is what I was saying.

    I've only ever gotten 2000 costs except for the few times a perk pops in.

  • joker7997
    joker7997 Member Posts: 899

    If you have the perk unlocked, you can cash in 2000 shards for 150k BP's. If that same perk shows up again, it'll be 2700 shards for 250k BP's. After that I don't know hasn't happened to me yet.

  • Cymer

    Never, not worth it to exchange. I can generate 150k BP really fast in 2-3 games, and BP can only be used in Bloodwebs. Shards I can use for nice perks in the shrine, even for content you didn't brought the dlc and can use them for skins and content (killer, survivors) it can work as money (aurelic) something that BP never could.

    Exchange 2000 shards for 150k BP is very shortsighted. I would rather buy 2000 shards with 150k BP <3
