purchasing booster question

Ok here is the question:

I have saved up about 2700 feez.  I have the option now to either purchase 6 12-card boosters or 23 4-card boosters. 

Are the probabilities better for the chance at more rares by buying the 23 vs the 6?  It seems to me that with the 6 you are garaunteed 6 rare cards, while there is no garauntee with the 23 4-card boosters, however the sheer number of cards received by purchasing the boosters i2 20 more cards and a potential for more rares.

Am I right in assuming this or is there some formula that I am missing?

Thanks

Eric

I once bought 2 of the 4 card packs and got 3 rares, while once I got 3 of the same pack and got only no rares. It varies and has not set amount of what you can get. However, you know exactly how many rares/uncommons/commons you will get with 12 packs.

Re : purchasing booster question

Actually, I got a post somewhere with some calculation of why its theorically better to buy the 4 cards booster in order to get more rares...

In short, the 4 booster cards say 4 random cards, while the 12 is one rare every twelve. But if you see the launchs, they usually launch 6 cards with one being rare. And in the bigger releases they usually have even more rares. So theorically u have a higher chances of getting more rares (that have more worth in the market) buy lots of 4 cards packs...

Unless Feerik have a diferente rules for cards in the boosters than the one wrote in the store...

But of course its random, while the tendency is getting more rares it can happen the oposite, or you get rares that such, witch can also happen in the 12 card packs...

I have being playing this since march, spending something like 5k feez a month, and so far only once I got less rares than if I had bought in 12 card packs, but I got a prestige that time, so I dont mind..

Those who have experience playing TCG know that cards are released by expansion sets. If a player wanted a certain card, they would know from what expansion set they will have to buy the boosters from.

Having boosters categorized by ACTS would be beneficial for all players. It reduces the size of the card pool and increases the chances of players pulling out cards they may find useful (even if it was a .5% probability)

They did this in the past for a certain period of time where we were able to buy boosters categorized by ACTS. I wonder why that was not continued? Seemed like a really good idea.

Boosters of 4 is much better in my experience
It's cheaper and you have more chance to get a legendary card!
btw, at this moment, the best is to buy some booster for 85 feez and open them when the halloween event will come ;D

Be strong and try to not open it >.<

I say 4 card packs are better. Both packs have advantages.

12 card packs - can buy specific clan pack. guaranteed one rare.

4 card pack- cheaper so more cards.

If you think about it the 12 card pack doesnt really offer any advantage at all. Your not guaranteed that your rare or uncommons are going to come from the clan that you bought in the clan pack. Next a guarantee of one rare is not enough. There are so many rares out there that are worth something like 100-1000 crystals. Really not worth the amount of money you put in to buying a pack.

Since the guarantee of one rare is not any assurance that you will get a good card you might as well buy the 4 card pack to increase your chances of hitting the lottery and pulling a good card.

One thing I'm really interested in is the rare drop rate for specific rares. I mean Master Mystic Slayer and a card like Analyze are both classified as rares. Which means that they both theoretically should have the same % chance of getting dropped. I have no proof of this but currently Im thinking eredan has reclassified their cards with some powerful rares getting rarer than the sucky ones.
