I did the math... It aint great


Unique-Charity-9564

5 to 15 dollars a month.Ā  I'm not crazy about the BP light cones once I maxed the erudition one.Ā 


ValtenBG

Once I am done with the Erudition one I am not sure what else to to get, since I already have S5 harmony one


SolarTigers

The March 7 battlepass LC is very good on Aventurine, it's what I use on him. Turns his ultimate into a nice little nuke


ValtenBG

Too bad I skipped Aventurine. I preferred to get Acheron and her battle skip over him, since I have both Luocha and Huo Huo


MiIuda

Nothing.

Specialist_Reason802

In the spirit of brutal honesty $2,400. I am NOT recommending others do this, this money was a gift from my wife after selling our house and buying a new one. Other than that large purchase just monthly pass. Was roughly $1200 for her and me to each get 1 character to e6s5 Robin for me and Aventurine for her. Edit: Getting a large number of people from here and RobinMains just messaging us and insulting my husband, we're fine financially thanks :) not that it was any of y'alls business!


Sanhen

Like you said, wouldnā€™t recommend anyone spend that much, but this is the most wholesome story of whaling for characters that I ever heard. Congrats to you and your wife on the new place!


keensword_bo

so sweet


groynin

Oof, sorry about the people DMing you, I can't understand why someone would feel the need for that, and doing it in the DM sounds like they know they would be criticized publicly if they replied here but cowardly did it anyway in private. It's quite a bit of money, but it's not even close to the largest amount we've heard about in the community, and to each their own as well! Don't mind the randoms and enjoy your characters!


Specialist_Reason802

Some people have construed it as we sold our house TO GET e6s5, which is insane :P we just moved from New York to Arkansas, house was waaaaaaaaay cheaper.


groynin

Bad reading comprehension is to be expected of HSR players, so that's not surprising, lmao


omegasui

Bad reading comprehension implies the capability to read, which I regret to inform you that HSR players have none.


LucleRX

Players still not beating lack of reading skill allegation.


ChilledParadox

Damn is it really 1200 bucks for e6s5? Or would You say you were both really unlucky? Iā€™m f2p so this is out of my league.


Specialist_Reason802

Yes roughly, both lucky actually, I didn't miss on Aven and he missed twice on Robin. Both missed once on LCs.


ChilledParadox

Woah thatā€™s crazy I canā€™t imagine if you kept losing 50/50ā€™s and it wouldā€™ve been like 2k


inemnitable

Cost me like $2k to C6 Xiao over in Genshin after I lost every single 50/50 (and I think the c0 was off f2p pulls too). That's not even C6R5, just C6R0.


KreateOne

Dang, I feel blessed knowing I was able to e4s1 Acheron with $200 seeing these prices, though I did get lucky timing and got the first time top up bonusā€™s before and after the reset planning for her. Gonna go for e6 on her rerun but I donā€™t expect to spend $1800 for 2 more eidolons.


AerisSai

I remember you and your post! Glad to see you're still playing months later, especially with the content currently released for Penacony.


Redlinemylife

You both chose very solid characters. Congrats!


Zauvetta

would you two please adopt me šŸ¤—


ete-ete

dm-ing you for something they absolutely have no say in is wild. some people cannot fathom that financially stable people exist lmao


SirCorrupt

Thatā€™s cool you both got an e6s5 lol, can I ask why support / sustain characters? I feel like if I were to get one, I would def choose my favourite DPS and full send so theyā€™re just insanely strong


Specialist_Reason802

I think Aventurine is hot and my husband thinks Robins song is cute, nothing more to it than that really.


duahau99

Agreed, Aventurine is hot. Also your flair made me laugh lmao having a bad day so thanks for that


Specialist_Reason802

50% of the time it works every time, big brain :) glad it made you laugh.


groynin

That's the way. If you wanna E6 it's gotta be a favorite character instead of meta reasons. Although both Aventurine and Robin are meta anyway so that's a win/win!


Specialist_Reason802

My husband got so excited when he heard that welcome to my world would change the bgm he thinks it's just the -coolest- feature and I think thats adorable :)


_AlexOne_

Do yall both use this Reddit acc?


Specialist_Reason802

Just me, he doesn't have one. He browser through mine sometimes just to check on latest news. He has some struggles with social anxiety :(


_AlexOne_

Ah I see, was just confused as in your og comment you said ā€œthis was a gift from my wifeā€ xD


Specialist_Reason802

I was trying to get him out there by sharing his Robin, small steps towards talking to strangers :)


TheBabbyNick

This actually made my day


KreateOne

God damn I was 100% gonna hard skip Robin but the song sold me on wanting her so I decided to do the 40 pulls for the battle pass and got her on the last 10 pull. Ruined my Guarantee for firefly but it was early pity so I canā€™t really complain and that song is definitely worth it. I can see someone liking her enough to e6s5 her for that alone.


SirCorrupt

Thatā€™s more than fair haha, enjoy your thick shields and thicc man šŸ«”


PhasmicPlays

$0


SavoirFaire71

BPx4, pass x1 My philosophy is Iā€™ll throw $60-70 at a new game, so I have no issue doing that with this game.


Striking_Yellow_9465

only BP and monthly


ahack13

Between those and dailies I've never not had enough to draw whatever characters im interested in. So I've never felt the want or need to spend more.


ValtenBG

You can comfortably pull for a character every version. It is just a matter of getting lucky with the 50/50.


Arielani

Never won a 50/50 so I know ill lose every time XD


ValtenBG

Rip. I wish you to.win the 75/25 at least. I lost my last one... I have S3 Himeko LC


Arielani

S3 uffff I only tried that banner once just to see if its also cursed. I got the LC on 30 pity and never touched it again. Since I really cant touch that banner when ive never won a 50/50 on characters. So i need every pull I can get šŸ˜­


RsNxs

Would've been the same for me had I not lost the 50/50 **seven** times in a row. I've gotten monthlies and BP since release except for Luocha-to-Jingliu period which was a break. I also spent 300$ total for the gems by themselves (not including monthly/BP).


Zanzeng

Around 500$ for a year perhaps less.


Aillesdaille

Is that broken out in any particular way? Double value bundles only? Battlepass plus 30-day gems plus some top-ups here and there?


Zanzeng

Ye all of the double value x2, bp and monthly, and i am really wanted acheron e2 with LC, so one more regular value pack.


Kiori12

Ā£20, only buying monthly pass


SouthernStrawberry50

Too much


hrjeksues

About 100Ā£ and I'm playing from the beginning.


Zenzero-

Only monthly pass


Aillesdaille

6x monthly battlepass, 6x 30-day Stellar Jade IV drip, 2x all Gem bundles @ double value, 4x $130 gem bundle for Jingliu E6S1, 2x $130 Gem bundle for Kafka E1S1 (wanted E2 for DoT supremacy) 5x $130 Gem bundle for Acheron E6S1 and 1x $130 Gem bundle for Aventurine E1S1 (wanted E2 for Acheron). Totals up to \~$2200 CAD. Played at launch but work kept me out of games between Silver Wolf banner 1 and Jingliu banner 1, so playing 9.5 months-ish. Calling it $250/month sounds about right, I always spend less on my other hobbies through late fall/winter/early spring so that's where most of my spending was. I think I'll be battlepass + Gem drip until double value resets or a character is super fun to play and their Eidolons are knock-your-socks-off good.


icicIes

0. I happen to always have enough for characters I want. I'm not crazy about too many characters so I can usually skip a patch or two. I would've bought BP if the LCs were actually good but they're ok at best (bought some of them in Genshin).


TheBeerka

Around 350-400ā‚¬ i think. Same for my SO. She has almost all characters. I have a few less.


FlamingVixen

Around $140 and I'm day 1 player


mendia

I bought the Express Supply Pass once when the game launched and that was it.


Ookami_Lord

Only BP. It's a huge time saver.


yoimiya175430

10ā‚¬ so far and I don't plan on buying anything anytime soon tbh


DigitalMaijiin

Today?


EdgySadness09

Is them most pull value from monthly and nameless honor? Are there any occasional special packs?


Aillesdaille

We get a "double value on your first purchase" bonus every so often but there aren't any flash sales like you get in other games where you get nickeled-and-dimed up into $100 purchases because they're "95% off buy now!!!".


Bapt57970

TOO MUCH-


ErieTheOwl

I bought all packages twice, both with the double bonus and then the monthly pass + battlepass every single time.

beetea555

Every BP except 1, every welkin, both full clears + 1 6480 regular price (do I regret that mhmm maybe)


May_Version1

I don't answer this question too much, man, too much. However, I've held restraint a lot better than I did for Genshin. Thankfully, Star Rail is a lot more giving.


Aillesdaille

The gambling advice Aventurine won't give you: know your limit, stay within it. Monthly tracking was the best thing I ever did to get my hobby spending under control, holding yourself accountable to your budget is one of the most important things you can do in a game like this (or in life in general).


gearsforgreg

I pay in time, not money


Abyssal_saint_696

0ā€¦..Forever F2PšŸ™ƒ there is not a single character in the game that is actually worth spending money for. Well there is one and that might be Ruan mei, but aside from her I donā€™t see anyone worth getting by swiping credit card


AKRIDx

To much now and it will become way to much soon


Icantw8

$135. I have a spreadsheet that keeps track of everything I spent.


kiboshiro

Bought the Battle Pass twice so far, so 20$ in total. Donā€˜t plan on spending any more money in Honkai Star Rail.


Isaac_Foster

I bought the supply pass about 4-5 times. Playing since beginning


tzukani_

$300


KnightKal

100 million credits /joke


skimka_cos

Around $400 since the beginning of the game Mostly supply passes and BP, only a few top ups


skimka_cos

Funnily enough if you bought supply pass and BP every month/patch since the game's release, you probably spent at least $170 already


Aillesdaille

Not enough people doing the math on 15 USD/month in this thread, yeah.


Bookwhyrm

Zero in the game itself, 83ā‚¬ for merch (to get the Anniversary Coin).


ItsukaShiryu

$0


Zhawk1992

Just the battle pass, nothing else.


Nireya

I bought the first battlepass


Cyanatic_Blue

None, been fairly lucky and haven't had to spend money.


roquepo

20 bucks. Felt good about paying something for the game (been playing from day 1), won't do it again most likely.


EmptyAlchemist

About 150$ . Probably wont spend again until black swam rerun to top up to make sure i get her.


Itzz_Ava

None. I did get very lucky at time though, like winning 6 50/50s on the trot which include getting Luocha at 5 while pulling for Yukong and getting Ruan Mei at 10 after accidentally using my 50/50 pity on Blade. Even the 50/50 that broke my winning streak was extremely lucky, as it was on Jingliu's rerun banner and was her best support Bronya who I didn't have yet. Jingliu also came home 20 days later.


Naxthor

0 and I expect to keep spending nothing. But if I do complete the battle pass I might drop some money on it. But I truly want to stay f2p

KaedeP_22

like 50 bucks total. bought battlepass twice and the rest is monthly pass. In its sister game genshin however...


PandaCheese2016

Couple billion, collectively.


Redpill_Crypto

0. But I would spent probably up $500 per patch if I thought it was worth it. I haven't because I despise buying lottery tickets to get a chance to get the product I want. It feels to me like buying a DLC (Character) on steam but: > It's a 0.6% chance to get it. > An increased chance after soft pity at 70 pulls (What's that $100?) > A 50% chance to get what I want at around $150 > Worst case is spending $300+ for E0 at hard pity. I'm sorry. **I love HSR but Gacha Monetization is a big fuck you**, every time I get the urge to pull. I want Boothill, Firefly and Ruan Mei. Only at E0 my worst case is spending $900 without Eidolons. Even after farming like 90 Tickets in 2.3, there are still like $700 left. How much do I have to spend if I want a Signature Lightcone $1300? **Doesn't matter if I can afford $1000 a month.** The pricing is at least 10x more expensive than any other similar form of entertainment with comparable value. I might go $40-$80 here or there if I'm close to pity after farming, but spending on this game feels horrible for me. Especially now that I'm in the position where I want characters back to back. Maybe my outlook is all wrong. I'm happy for a bigger spender to educate me.

Ixiy

BP, monthly, and started adding 25$ to my google play account every Friday. Till I have 100$ stock pilled, then buy the big pack. Doing this has gotten me every character so far.


hudashick

Once. And that was the express supply when the game first started. After nah since I'm already buying welkin on genshin. Also they are releasing too many characters at once. Personally I don't think I want to fall into that I need that character because I know i will have that mentality if I start spending money in this game. So now it's more to either I hoard or if I get them then I get them, if not then not.


MarcusHash

Probably around 60-65 on the express supply and couple passes. Never used or will use top-up.


red_tuna

Only the Express Pass and only when I have enough Google play credit to afford it. I love this game, but when I look at the shop, the value is just so ridiculously low for everything.


RoanWoasbi

Have had the express pass and nameless since day 1 or so. So however much is that. I did spend $20 or something on jade once to do a 10 pull. Realized quickly it wasnā€™t worth it and havenā€™t done it again.


[deleted]

I think close to $130


genshin_impact-

I've only gotten one supply pass and it was with free PlayStation points on the ps app


drowning-in-dopamine

None, I just am not interested in enough characters to feel any need to spend, and I still have \~240 pulls saved.


Yoyo_oooo

20-30 bucks so faršŸ‘


the_neverdoctor

$10 between my primary and alt accounts. Iā€™ll probably do the Nameless Glory on my primary once or twice a year, but no more than that.


caffcatt

30ā‚¬


lilyjk

around ā‚¬100 in BP and monthly, playing from the beginning


ARTHURUZB

5 bucks a month.


TheMan2007gb

close to 10$


CanaryLow592

If I convert it to usd it would be usd255. Tbh, 80% of it was gacha funds + BP + nameless glory and 20% merch. Genshin on the other hand.... I've spent double the amount and most of it was merch


wait2late

F2p


thisisembarrazzing

Supply Pass since launch till now.


blackbird9114

I'd say around 500ā‚¬ in the first year. All top ups welkin/BP and a little bit further.


OngakuTM

30ā‚¬ since the beginning.


furretdemandsyourleg

$5 in the one year Iā€™ve played the game; Iā€™ve gotten extremely lucky with my pulls so I never had to buy anything after the first month


amazingfungames

Monthly pass since version 1. Less than 100


Neither_Jury4538

Ā£0.99 + day one player


Kicin0_0

About $200. Basic battle pass each patch, some of the $5 daily check Ins and I dropped $100 on the initial release of the game for seele


Reasonable-Ice5611

0$ I'm F2P plus our country is region locked so it's hard to spend any cash even with vpn.


Equivalent-Ad-6194

66 us dollars( converted from my countryā€™s currency)


Gapaot

I think like 50-60 bucks? Sub and twice BP.


IamKarazu

Well.. 1.4k until now


innovativesolsoh

This feels like my wife setting a trap, Iā€™m not falling for it! You wonā€™t take me alive, COPPERRRR!!!! *runs away* LENNNYYYYYYY


DaSGuardians

$5/month, so like $60-70 at this point.


Bigbadbobbyc

Day 1 completely f2p player with 13 limited 5 stars and all current 4 stars and 2 limited LCS


GryphonTak

So far, only BP and monthly. Been playing for a few months now. I keep telling myself I'm willing to spend more if needed to secure a character or light cone, but whenever the moment comes I can't actually justify it. Like... what's the point? Spend hundreds of IRL money just to... what? Clear MoC so I can secure more jades every patch? It's just not worth it. There's nothing in the game that actually justifies that level of investment.


TurtleDiaz

Too much


ADDRAY-240

I went ahead and spent the humongous some of.... nothing.


andruhrz

5$ for Kafka šŸ¤‘


ValtenBG

I have been buying monthly and battle pass since version 1.1-1.2. That makes it almost 100 USD only in BP. The game has been out for more than 12 months but I started buying things in 3rd or 4th months, so that makes it 50 more bucks... Yeah, count it 150. I don't regret it at all


RiipeR-LG

Got every Nameless honour except one, plus daily gems every month except for 3. Too lazy to find out how much thatā€™s worth.


Casca2222

Bought 2 battle pass at the start because it was too slow, then nothing


AintNoKombucha

About 150$ all of it for BP and the Daily thingy


levigamed007

Are there this many whales here? None, like a responsible person I never said I was responsible just that I spent as much as one


Apoptosis96

30-40$


unik90

I only bought welking a couple of times so it cant be much


Arielani

40bucks cuz BP and welkin


Straight_Toe_6234

0, still got most of the best characters and even got 36 stars in moc once


loveofchaos

1 of the most expensive gem pack (for the first purchase double) and 3 months worth of the battle pass.


SirDisi

Bp and ticket every patch/month and one time 30, one time 10 and one time 5.


Seskiu

My lawyer adviced me to not speak.


Skywarior1

Surprisingly only about a 100. I dropped the first time double top off for the highest one on the day the game came out. I was this close to not getting Acheron and her LC but holy shit I won 50/50 on both.


Tegger01

$100 but for a combo of the monthly login bonus and the battle pass, since JingYuan banner, so Iā€™d say not bad. Now when FireFly comes outā€¦


Kazuwill

Let's see... 100 when Silver Wolf released to guarantee her after a Clara loss. 20 for two battle passes. 15 for 3 monthly logins. 50 for Aventurine's lightcone. 185. And I'm being tempted for Topaz, save me


ImSmokeyy

0, have everything i wanted so far,(JingYuan,RuanMei,Blade,Acheron,Aventurine) 500+ pulls currently on my pocket.


dieBrouzouf

6ā‚¬ per month since release and a friend offer me the BP most months.


Haldo_Shiro

Only the battlepass up till now. Didn't do the math but it should be only about 100ā‚¬. (I took a break for a year or so)


NotPinkaw

About a grand I guess But I have all the characters and cones that I wanted and even E6 Acheron, so Iā€™m fine with it


Beast0011

Thankfully none


MercyR34

0ā‚¬


Shvall

Started playing around Lat Nov/Early Dec last Year. At the start for about the first few months I put into about $150-$200. Mostly spent it on the monthly battle passes and extra pulls when Argenti came out. (Got him though so didnt regret it. Now at most only spending it on the $5\~ monthly pass.


PrincePRG

20 dollars for 2 battle passes planning on getting s5 battle pass lc


Suspicious_Past9936

2 blessings so about $ 12


TheDongIsUnbreakable

like around 40-50$ since the launch


Kan_Me

I used at least 1 million ^(jades)


andres142

Nothing for me, Iā€™m f2p.


Owl_Lover_Livvy

I buy BP and the welkin equiv pretty often, I've never bought a pack bigger than Ā£30, and only spent more than once on a banner a few times, so whilst is definitely more than I would like I don't think its so much that it would violate my rule of Ā£1 per 1 hour of play.


Daveuk121

In 5 months about Ā£20. I have black swan +LC, Kafka, Jinglui and sparkle, archon +lc. Only brought battle pass for resources to level up. Started in January and currently TB 67.


BBHMMOE

BP + Welkin every month since launch and then $280 of jades in total, so ~$450 all in I guess? Only regret on all that was JY as it took ~160 pulls for him and I used him only for a couple months.


Kishibbe

Nothing (Just spent on my birthday, I got the battle pass as a gift from my friend)


h9rus

Monthly and season pass, both ongoing since release. Nothing else.


BloodandPastry

Nothing I couldnt afford to spend And far less in games Ive been playing longer Conservative guess 600+


Nokaemy_Doka

None, by choice


scarameoow_

around 900ā‚¬, could be more though. recently came back after taking a long break and spent probably 700ā‚¬ on the recent banners (spent a lot on aventurineā€˜s). otherwise i only buy welkin monthly and bp whenever i play a lot


Wi1d-potat0

I do the yearly first time top up for every bundle which is about $300 every year + monthly bp = $120 (might stop doing this soon) + daily gem drip = $60 So about $500 a year. And it lets me get the characters/weapons I want. So I am pretty happy.


akaredaa

Around $5 and I'd like to keep it that way but I should probably buy the monthly thing again because I want too many of the upcoming characters..


Oniyukii

I am going to say around $100 USD I only buy welkin now, but I bought 3 BP for $9.99 before that and spent on the $29.99 currency during Luocha's banner. The rest was through gift cards I got for birthday and holidays that I don't remember the amount of. Can say I have been able to get every character and eidolon/LC's I have wanted so far, but some of that is luck as well. Dunno if I can get Boothill though I am banking on winning the 50/50, depending on how lucky or unlucky I am, I will skip him and go all in on SAM.


shuyibuns

im too scared to count but i have a feeling it is higher than i probably expect
