Marketplace

Marketplace is the Tales of Honor in-game real money shop. In it, you can exchange prestige for consumables (metal, plasma, warp charges) and cargo pods. You can also acquire prestige for real world currency.

When spending real money on presige there are a couple things to consider:

Legendary cargo pods cost 20,000 presige

@$0.99 for 750p, a legendrary cargo pod costs ~ $26.00 per pod

@$99.99 for 140,000p, a legendary cargo pod costs ~ $14.00 per pod

You can also speed up upgrades using presige

Each minute costs 4 presige, so instantly upgrading a component that takes an hour will cost 240 presige.

Using the same formula as above

@$0.99 for 750p you can buy about 187.5 minutes of upgrades at about 1/2 cent per minute

@$99.99 for 140,000p you can but about 35,000 minutes of upgrades at 1/4 cent per minute ($0.0029/minute) which is about 25 days of upgrade time.

Using the above schema, it is always better to buy higher quantities of presige at a time in order to maximize the benefit. However as a word of caution, the cargo pods assure the best item at that level or above, but there is no assurance that you will not receive a repeat item.
