Invest in Diablo Immortal or buy a house? Maxing a char costs over €500,000

What is a strong avatar really worth?

As we reported recently, a streamer in Diablo Immortal spend over 15,000 euros on a single five-star gem. But what if you want to fully max out your character, including full five-star legendary gear? The result is as shocking as it is ridiculous, and few of us could afford the absurd undertaking.

The best equipment in Diablo Immortal costs more than half a million euros on average

We do the math: Streamer Quin had to invest around €15,000 for the gem slot machine in Diablo Immortal to drop him a Legendary Gem with five out of five stars (the average is said to be €15,689). Since each of the six possible pieces of equipment has a slot, you need six of the expensive gems to max out your character. According to our milkmaid bill, that’s 90,000 euros. But if you thought Blizzard would be happy with that, we have to disappoint you.

We have an in-depth article on the subject:

More Gem Slots Discovered: According to one Reddit post, there is a hidden “whale” mechanic in Immortal (“whales” or “whales” are people who spend above average money on a service or a game). If you combine one of the five-star gems with an item above level 6 and level it up to level 10, the gem “awakens” and five more slots are created around it, all of which want to be refilled.

Accordingly, we have six times six gem slots for a maximized character, i.e. 36 possible gems. With the 15,000 euros per gem, that would be a proud 540,000 euros. In addition, there are the costs for the gem upgrades, which each want to be leveled to level 10. With luck, it is quite possible to undercut this sum, but if you are unlucky, you may have to shell out over half a million euros for a perfect character.

Is Diablo Immortal Pay2Win?

Before the release of Diablo Immortal, there was a fear that the Hack’n’Slay could include Pay2Win mechanics. In fact, the chief developer had to defend himself against the accusation. However, a Reddit comment speaks of Pay2Pay mechanics and is not entirely wrong, especially since a high investment unlocks additional payment options.

However, hardly anyone can afford such high costs, which could make the system and the plan to maximize their figure less attractive for many.
