In the light of Pixo introducing something nice, let's not forget what scams they are still running. They haven't done anything to component conversion, for example.
I get that Pixo takes a premium on conversion. I hate it, but I get it. They want to make it very hard to get new bots. They want to push players into playing a lot, because player numbers are dropping. (And probably get the opposite reaction.). But I am building a Weyland with my 1-bot smurf, and got to 9990 components. I thought I'll just convert the last 10 components - turns out this would take 500k silver, compared to workshopping 60 more for 290k. This is just crazy. I mean, come on, more than 10 times the WS cost?

Conversion is 2.5 times the cost of producing with a minimum charge of 500k. Notice on the Weyland the price doesn’t change until you get to 50 components.

The only advantage of conversion is getting the resulting comps immediately without spending Au.

WS component conversion makes sense only, if you have run out of useful stuff to upgrade (so getting something new out of WS would be useful immediatly), and you have the excess Ag to both get it for higher Ag cost, and to upgrade the new item to reasonable level. For me, this is basically never, I will always have good stuff to upgrade without spending extra to get new stuff quicker. And I think almost all players are in the same boat. |

Talk about it. I had to sacrifice 6k Tyr comps and 25m Ag for 2k Fenrir comps.
At least it was worth it.

i used Conversion recently to get a Raven, choice was easy since the comps i used to get it were doing nothing and i had the Ag. i enjoy the The 2nd Raven vastly.
soon as i get 7k in Tyr comps i'll be doing the same again as i Have 5k in Loki and 23k in HB doing nothing and with the Operations Spittin out Ag now for me is a Good time to not only get that Tyr but get a Mender too.
i wish i could use Comps to get Modules also... maybe they will allow this too.

I would rather sell it off for Ag or to build in workshop. U get that that conversion is instantaneous, but I have time to wait. Haha.

I think its better to sell the components for Ag then use it to build the components you want. Just speculating. I could be very wrong lol.

IDK I converted 5k chimera or thermite can't remember and ended up with 4k pulsar I think... But it cost like 20M.
So certain conversions are worth it component-wise if you can stomach, but others not so good, like 1k Ares was worth 400 Bulwark IIRC.

I gotta say, yesterday I got the Au Guang skin from Operations and just wanted to see what that was all about. Plus I've always been curious about the Green Dragon. I have a Red Dragon and it is terrible and I'm not meta chasing a White Dragon.
Anyway, I had like 3600 Greed Dragon Comps and ~2k in Comps for a handful of meta bots I'm not going to pursue so I dropped about 35m Silver to convert myself into a new Green Dragon. Which, isn't that much, really. I brought in about that much just playing over the past 2 days grinding the OPX.
Costs 136m Silver to level it, so I feel like 35m sticker price doesn't create so much shock anymore. And, really, the most valuable currency in the game is: Time.
From unlocking that skin (which is refreshingly minimalist) to trolling AJs with faceloads of Wasp in my shiny lvl1 Silver Dragon took about 30 minutes, most of that in debate over whether I should blow so much Ag on a sub-meta bot but it really compliments the Hover / Rog hangar and is a nice platform for my long-languishing Wasps.
Yes, Conversion is absurdly expensive, but...kindof everything is...

I’m shocked anytime I hear someone actually used conversion. It’s the biggest ripoff in the game
