Are CryptoBrewMaster's Nano Resource Packs Worth it?
@cryptobrewmaster recently introduced some new nano resource packs, available for 0.49 HBDs.
The pack guarantees you at least 4 good ingredients, and 1 excellent ingredient, and you get all the 5 different ingredients necessary to brew one beer, but do the maths stack up?
My first nano resource pack yielded me the following resources:
And with those resources I have a 67% chance of brewing an outstanding beer, a 25% chance of brewing an excellent beer and a 4% chance of brewing a masterpiece, and a similar chance of brewing a duff beer which are nearly worthless.
First time round I managed to successfully brew an excellent beer, and here's how the maths work out for the costings (At current prices, all of which can change of course!)
- Cost of package = $0.47 ($0.49 HBD valued slightly under $1)
- Excellent Beer Brewed with ingredients sold for 39 CBM
- Current market rate CBM = $0.008
- Dollar value of sale = $0.32 (39* 0.008)
- Loss = $0.15.
And this is my being lucky, having brewed an excellent beer. On average I will earn less for the more typical outstanding beer I will brew 67% of the time.
So at the moment then, it seems that just buying CBM tokens would be a more cost efficient way of, well, accumulating CBM!
However I don't know what tweaks @rollie1212 is going to make to the game in the coming weeks and months - already buying a nano resource pack unlocks a higher tier pack, which will no doubt be better value, and I assume that will be some of kind of rewards forthcoming with the various league tables, which include number of beers brewed and sold, and the only way you can brew beer is to play.
Also I like to give some financial support to such a great project which links virtual beer to a real world beer brew, it's the combination of the two that I really like about this game!
So get your brew on!
If you haven't signed up to play CryptoBrewMaster yet, I'd appreciate it if you used my referral link here!
Cheers!

The game seems less worthwhile playing lately. The lack of things to do is not inspiring me. It's just click and wait. I cashed out what I had, but will keep an eye on it.
Fair comment, it is kind of cute though, and with links to real beer brews!

They have really cool design and being about beer is great, but a game needs more than that.
Not brewing beer as such , though I still randomly collect ingredients.
I guess, if you sell Beer during an event, it might be profitable

I hadn't thought of the events, see I'm just not sure what's around the corner!

I loved the concept but it’s not a good way to earn. Cashed out when all these changes started to occur.

And you need to buy the nano one in order to unlock the bigger ones.
Might try when the game has more stuff to do.
Fair play, it's still early days!

The math seems to indicate that the nano packs aren’t worth their cost but there’s another factor that’s a bit harder to quantify: does the extra beer you produce help you to move up in the rankings for the various contests and does that result in a positive return?
No idea!
There are a lot of different league tables, TBH I think they need to scrap the wealthy brewer league table - it's kind of pointless when you can just buy more beer tokens!
