Diablo Immortal fans estimate fully levelling a class could cost six times more than previously thought
That's 🦂$300,000💟 - $600,000 to fully level a character, math fans

It could cost $300,000 - $600,000 🌜to max out a single Diablo Immortal character -much more than the $110,000 figure that initially did the rounds following the action-RPG's launch.
Following Diablo Immortal's release earlier this month, t♚hat fully upgrading a character could cost $110,000 worth of gems. The idea is that each character needs six five-out-of-five gems, which is around $16,000 a gem on av🐻erage.
, slapping a five-out-of-five gem levelled up to ten on a piece of gear above rank six allows you to awaken that item.What happens when you awaken a gem? You get five additional slots around it that take even more legendary gems that need to be levelled up to ten. That means you need 36 five-star gems 🅠to maximise a character rather than six. On top of that, you'll need to purchase a𒊎 Dawning Echo for 1,000 eternal orbs from a vendor if you want to awaken a gem, which costs roughly another $30 each.
Fans have frequently discussed the cost of acquiring a five-out-of-five star gem since Diablo Immortal was released. Alongside the previous examples, you've got who have used binomial probability calculators to determ🧸ine your average spend on a five-out-five-star gem.
Since you can see the odds of getting a particular gem in-game when doing Rifts, one fan has even made a spen🌄d . For what it's worth, it cost me ✱$37,250 in simulation currency to get six five-out-of-five gems and $159,250 to get 36.
By way of comparison: Genshin Impact, one of the most successful gacha titles ever, is estimated to have made ~$33 million on iOS and Google Play in May. Across millions of user accounts, worldwide.ܫThat would be enough to max out about ten DI user accounts in that month.
As founder Andrew Diღce points out on , it's tricky to pin an exact estimate on getting all the 🗹perfect gems you need due to the element of luck. Taking the most agreed-upon estimates for six gems, however, puts the figure between $50,000 - $100,000. Getting the 36 five-out-of-five gems you need means multiplying that by six, giving us the new estimation of $300,000 - $600,000.
