Hi! I've been reading a bit about it since it's my first Odyssey and I wanted to get to the T5 Skin for the least amount of gems.

Comments

For the following, I'll have these assumpions:

  • Each BattlePass gives 15k Oddy Points.
  • The Quests rewards up to 25k more free Oddy Points. (I assumed this because the FAQ of the event says you can earn up tp 55k free Oddy points)
  • It doesn't count the gems you earn due to other events (like the Voyager's log) or daily rewards.

This can be cheaper if:

  • They explain how many skins from the Viewer Store can be bought that count towards the Ody Points (just the Odin, Raijin and the remaining skin for 30k points or just the last one for 10k). *
  • You get the Odyssey chest and unlock one of the NEW skins in them.

* I've seen comments that buying the skins in rotation DON'T give Odyssey points. So I think the max. would be getting 30k but will probably be 10k from the new skin. I won't count it towards the next situations because many won't have enough Viewer Points to buy this skin. Regardless, if you buy the next viewer store skin, you could get the T5 for 500 gems less than the case you are using.

First case: buying the Battlepasses

If you buy the battlepasses and complete them, you'll earn 10k more points while spending 800 more gems for them. Cost-wise, it's a bit more expensive but you get more skins and the avg. cost goes down.

Second case: not buying the Battlepasses

Not buying the BattlePass makes it 300 gems cheaper because you have to buy an extra bundle for 500 gems to compensate for the premium track. The thing is you are going to be out of 5 more skins for 300 gems which is really good value-wise.

Any error or other consideration needed to be taken please leave it in the comments and I'll update it.

As someone mentioned, it is super possible the 55k is an error in their math, as they calculated an extra battle pass. There is only 1 slot with free Odyssey Points, so it really is 40k free

However, a good guide. Change it to account for that and you'll have good pricing.

EDIT: This is just my assumption, don't take it as confirmed advice, but I think that buying the last viewer store skin will give you 10k points, meaning the total minimum of gems required is 5500

You're correct, but the Odyssey will span 2 battle passes, so you'll have the chance to earn 15000 for free twice :)
