So every time you go to the *Purchase* tab in the Supply Depot, let's say to purchase the Guardians Armor Pack or some Promo Boxes, you can select any of the different types of methods to purchase these items, and one of them stands out to me: the option to purchase with crowns.

I am not that rich, so whenever I would click that just to see, it would take me to the trade crowns for energy tab.

My question here is: Does anyone know how much Crowns or Energy, let's say, and Deluxe Starter Pack, would cost if you used the crowns tab instead of regular payment methods?

Any answer is appreciated!

You can't

You can't purchase anything off of the "Purchase" tap in the supply depot with crowns. If you select the crowns option, the drop down menu will grey out and you will not be able to select anything. I honestly don't know why it still exists.

As the above poster has said, you cannot, but...

Hypothetically it would cost between 200K and 300K crowns by player standards, or using Fangel's math where 100 ce = about 6250 cr by developer standards, they would cost around 2,500 energy = 156,250 crowns. I believe at least, they cost 2,500 ce when they were for sale I want to say. I couldn't find it on the wiki.

This would have adverse effects on the value of crowns in that it would make playing the game a very fruitful activity compared to buying energy. Since playing the game in this case means grinding FSC for crowns I'd say that it would be a rather dull time.
