About this converter
Crafting Metals buy permanent cosmetics with fixed tier prices. Common costs 30 with duplicates refunding 15. Rare costs 60 with duplicates refunding 30. Epic costs 400 with duplicates refunding 200. Legendary costs 1200 with duplicates refunding 600 at half rule. Thematic Event pools double most tiers with Rare at 120, Epic at 800 and Legendary at 2400 against Apex Coin options of 500, 1000 and 1800. Collection Events match thematic event prices. Heirloom and Prestige grants cost 150 Heirloom Shards as a separate shard currency with 500 pack pity near 1 percent drop, not Metals. Exotic Shards from the 2026 Artifact system use a third currency and stay out.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Event Legendary against Common to see the 2400 to 30 event span. The result line prints the equality plus the per unit ratio. Click a table row to load that entry as Entry A with amount 1. Craft, event, refund and shard rows share metal math with roles labeled.
Heirloom 150 Metals is false with shards separate and corrected. Legendary metal 600 refund complaints match the half rule exactly. Permanent versus event pools ride in context per row. Coin options 500, 1000 and 1800 ride beside event metal rows. Omitted: Exotic Shard 50 to 150 Artifact rows, which use 2026 system tables.
