Agent Insights Ep 46: Sapphire - Diamond Conversion Rate


What's up everyone! Today, I bring to you your next episode of agent insights! Today, I'm gonna be talking about what the conversion rate of sapphires to diamonds (and vice versa) is. This episode might be a little mathy, but the math has to be done to get the conversion rates. Without further ado, let's go!

For this post, I will be basing the conversions on multiple things. They are namely Animals, Pets, Dens, Items and the premium currency - gem conversion rate.

The first one I will touch on is the animals. A premium animal in AJPC costs 10 diamonds. A premium animal in AJPW costs 150 sapphires, assuming that it is not on sale. Assuming that the animals cost the same across both games, that means 1 diamond is equal to 15 sapphires. Alternatively, it can be seen as about 0.067 diamonds per sapphire.

Next up is pets. One premium pet in the diamond shop costs 3 diamonds. One premium pet in the sapphire shop costs 50 sapphires. This means that 1 diamond is equal to 16.7 sapphires, or 0.06 diamonds per sapphire. Note that these values are similar to the ones calculated above.

Next are the dens. One premium den in the diamond shop costs 7 diamonds, while one premium den in the sapphire shop costs 150 sapphires without a sale. Doing the math once again, this means that 1 diamond is equal to about 21.4 sapphires. It can also be seen as 0.047 diamonds per sapphire. These values are noticeably different from the ones previously calculated. I'm not sure why, but WildWorks decided to price it that way.

Now, I will touch on common items that both shops share. For this post, I will be comparing the prices of the full Ice Armor Set. The helmet costs 2 diamonds in AJPC and 10 sapphires in AJPW. This calculates to 5 sapphires per diamond, or 0.2 diamonds per sapphire. The amulet follows a similar rate. It costs 1 diamond on AJPC and 5 sapphires on AJPW. The rate is also the same for the armor. It costs 3 diamonds in AJPC and 15 sapphires in AJPW. However, the rate gets a little different from here. The gauntlets cost 1 diamond on AJPC but 10 sapphires on AJPW. That means that for the gauntlets, the rate is 10 sapphires per diamond or 0.1 diamonds per sapphire. Similarly, the tail armor costs 2 diamonds on AJPC and costs 20 sapphires on AJPW. That rate is the same for the gauntlets. Overall, it costs 9 diamonds for the full set in AJPC and 60 sapphires for the full set in AJPW. That tallies to about 6.67 sapphires per diamond, or 0.15 diamonds per sapphire. Note that this rate is significantly different from those above, so bear that in mind if you are looking to do a cross-platform trade! (Though, I do not encourage that. More can be found here.)

Lastly. I will look at how they compare by using gems. For this comparison, I will be using best dressed as a means to compare gems across the two games. In AJPC best dressed, the winner wins 200 gems. In AJPW, the winner wins 250 gems. Therefore, 1 gem in AJPC is worth 1.25 AJPW gems. In AJPC, 1 diamond is equal to 1000 AJPC gems. In AJPW, 10 sapphires can be exchanged for 1000 AJPW gems. Doing the math, 1 AJPC gem is equal to 0.001 diamonds. 1 AJPW gem is equal to 0.01 sapphires. However, since 1 AJPC gem is equal to 1.25 AJPW gems, we can conclude that 0.001 diamonds is equal to 0.0125 sapphires. Multiplying both sides by 1000, 1 diamond is equal to 12.5 sapphires.

After all that math, I decided to summarize everything for easy reference:

Animals: 1 diamond = 15 sapphires
Pets: 1 diamond = 16.7 sapphires
Dens: 1 diamond = 21.4 sapphires
Items: depends on the item itself, but generally it is 1 diamond = 6.67 sapphires
Comparison using gems: 1 diamond = 12.5 sapphires

Phew, that all the math from me now, till next post!
