Flower/Wreath Offerings are just not worth burning
It's no secret that there's a heavy grind in this game. There are few offerings designed to slightly alleviate that grind. However, when it comes to BP (Bloodpoint) offerings, only Escape Cakes/Survivor Puddings and Bloody Party Streamers (BPS) give out any really meaningful payout.
Theoretically, these are the maximum payouts of all the BP offerings (on their own, also not including event ones). With maximum payout, I mean the absolute maximum an offering can pay out, minus the actual BP cost of said offering on the Bloodweb. Please be aware that the percentages are the additional percentages. I.e. 50% means 150% total BP gain, or a 1,5 multiplier. When I mention a colour, that obviously refers to rarity, and by extension, BP cost.
Brown Flowers/Wreaths (50% in one category):
4000 - 3000 = 1000 gain
Yellow Flowers/Wreaths (75% in one category):
6000 - 4000 = 2000 gain
Green Flowers/Wreaths (100% in one category):
8000 - 5000 = 3000 gain
(Yellow) Sealed Envelopes/Hollow Shells (25% in all categories):
8000 - 4000 = 4000 gain
(Yellow) Escape Cakes/Survivor Puddings (100% in all categories):
32.000 - 4000 = 28.000 gain
(Green) BPS (100% in all categories):
32.000 - 5000 = 27.000 gain (but for all players)
(Green) Bound Envelopes (survivor exclusive, 25% in all categories):
8000 - 5000 = 3000 gain (but for all survivors)
Compared to the yellow rarity envelope and cake/pudding, the flowers and wreaths really stand out as giving a very negligible bonus in BP. The green ones can buy you one (1) brown node on the Bloodweb (3000), and that's only when you maxed out the category. Lower-tier flowers and wreaths can't even buy you anything at all.
Moreover, the Sealed Envelopes/Hollow Shells are a really hard sell compared to the Escape Cakes/Survivor Puddings of the same rarity, cost and requirements. A whopping potential 22K difference. Not to mention how uncommon it is to max out all categories, especially for survivors.
So, what would I change? Apart from adding more score events to make categories easier to max out, particularly for Survival:
Brown Flowers/Wreaths: 125% in one category (up from 50%):
10.000 - 3000 = 7000 gain
Yellow Flowers/Wreaths: 150% in one category (up from 75%):
12.000 - 4000 = 8000 gain
Green Flowers/Wreaths: 200% in one category (up from 100%):
16.000 - 5000 = 11.000 gain
Sealed Envelopes/Hollow Shells: 50% in all categories (up from 25%):
16.000 - 4000 = 12.000 gain
Escape Cakes/Survivor Puddings: is now green rarity (was yellow, increasing cost by 1k):
32.000 - 5000 = 27.000 gain
BPS: is now purple rarity (was green, increasing cost by 1k):
32.000 - 6000 = 26.000 gain (but for all players)
Bound Envelopes: 75% in all categories (was 25%):
24.000 - 5000 = 19.000 gain (but for all Survivors)
NEW: A killer exclusive offering to serve as an equivalent of the changed Bound Envelopes.
Gore Cupcake: green rarity, 75% in all categories:
24.000 - 5000 = 19.000 gain (but only for the Killer)
My thoughts:
The Flowers/Wreaths see a doubling in their max payout, making for almost quadruple the max potential BP gain. Sealed Envelopes/Hollow Shells are also tripled in their max potential BP gain. This, in my mind, should make them far better options to pop, whilst still warranting their rarity compared to other, better offerings.
The Escape Cake/Survivor Pudding rarity changes are more so because it doesn't make sense for them to be in the rarity they're in as they are, as well as allowing some room for Sealed Envelopes/Hollow Shells's to exist as yellow tiers. The same goes for BPS.
Sealed Envelopes/Hollow Shells' rarity remains unchanged, as getting their max potential is not exactly a guarantee. Popping a green Flowers/Wreath ought to give a more consistent payout. The same idea applies for Escape Cakes/Survivor Puddings compared to green Flowers/Wreaths.
I didn't want to take out any offerings either, and have even added my own. The Gore Cupcake (which I swear I've seen somewhere before) is just there to fill up the gap that the Bound Envelopes fill for the Survivor side.
