Cash them in for Ancient Shards to finish Summon Events and Energy Refills/XP Banners for Gear and Event Points. Gems can be the flexible long-term store of value for you. You want Gem Mine, Market Slots, and Sparring Pit Slots (lv1 Only). Ignore all the talk of buying Ancient Shard Packs with Gems. The Game is played out over months and should culminate for you in about a Year. If you play till Scyl of the Drakes (6 months) then you will have an extra 1500 Gems by then. By your first three months, you have made back your initial 1500 Gem Investment and have transformed it into 500 Gems a month of Income. Take advantage of the Gem Mine’s best feature: 500 Gems a month (roughly). You Gem out Masteries for your Starter first (800 Gems) then you max out Gem Mine (1500 Gems). The one true source of “Income” in Raid is the Gem Mine. the $15 for 2 sacreds is just an early account offer, iirc.Follow wsoul13 How to Obtain RAID: Shadow Legends Shards Passively but other than that, most packs operate on price bands. There are packs that appear periodically that try to get you to spend if you spend almost nothing, most notably the warriors pack. its 1/10th the cost, but you're getting less than half the resources per dollar of the big pack. the base version of this is 6.99, for only 2 refills, 300 energy, 150 gems, and 150k silver. for example, the special progress pack right now is 30 energy refills, 2k gems, 4k energy and 2.5m silver at 69.99 USD. edit: technically, some of the lower priced versions of packs are actually worse value because their price per resource goes up slightly due to the smaller amounts of resources. deals don't get better, they just get smaller. the price per resource really doesn't change at all, higher bands just give you access to more resources at once.

each band has almost identical value, just with different totals and amounts. each "pack" has multiple price bands that you get put into based on your 30 day spending habits. The less you spend (in 30 days) the better the deals are, simply trying to egg you on to spend, so like your example, 2 sacreds for 15 then they throw a 2 sacred for $50 (Never buy silver) hoping to hook you on spending and hoping they hook a whale (big spender)
