Drow Ranger arcana. How much does it cost?

With the new event, Aghanim's Labyrinth: Continuum Device, Valve also added Battle Pass, which includes the arcana on Drow Ranger. And absolutely everyone wants to get it.

Throughout 2021, Dota 2 players were disappointed that Valve actually increased the price of the new arcanas, making them exclusive to Battle Passes. But earlier such sets were available on the marketplace freely and at normal prices. In other games, like Fortnite, Apex Legends, CS:GO and others, there is an opportunity not only to get cosmetic sets, but also to make money from its.

This was previously in Dota 2, but now Valve forces fans to pay money for the Battle Pass, and then forces them to spend more money in order to get at least something worthwhile out of it. Events, which were previously like fiesta for all players, have turned into a drain of money by developers.

Battle Pass also contains a new persona Mirana from the anime DOTA: Dragon's Blood and a set for Hoodwink. And no matter how hard the players try to get it all, it won't be cheap. But how much does Drow Ranger arcana cost?

No. You can't get anything for free. First you need to buy a Battle Pass, then you need to buy many BP levels. Considering the event is 10 weeks long, it's pretty easy to calculate how many levels players can actually get for free by playing Aghanim's Labyrinth and completing quests:

Aghanim’s Helping Hand chest in this case is an absolutely random factor. Players can get from 250 to 10,000 points from each chest. It is possible to receive up to four Helping Hand chests each week in the form of weekly rewards, as well as one bonus chest per week when playing with Drow Ranger.

It's unclear what the average reward from each Aghanim’s Helping Hand chest is, but the weekly Nemestice Battle Pass rewards were bringing in about 6 levels per week. Given that Valve is not very generous, it is likely that the average reward will be one level or less per chest. In the best case, it will be about 60 levels.

In total, players can get up to 111.25 Battle Pass lvls for free. This is less than what is needed to get the persona for Mirana, which is available at level 135. All of this is only about one third of the progress required for the arcana on Drow Ranger.

If you want to get it now, be ready to spend $140.

This is the cost of buying a Battle Pass plus 100 levels, and then buying BP levels to bring it up to 333. This can be done at any time, but there are several options to save a little.

First, if you really play the game, you can earn some levels by completing the Aghanim's Labyrinth, weekly quests, or Cavern Crawl. This is described above.

Secondly, limited Battle Level Bundles were released for Nemestice containing 60 levels for $15. Players were allowed to buy two, 120 levels in total, at a price of $30. And there is hope that Valve will make a similar gift for the New Year and Christmas.

You can buy 100 levels with Battle Pass on the start, then wait for discounted level bundles and try to get all possible free points in the game. In this case, for about $75-80, you get the opportunity to receive a reward.

But this is just an opportunity! In this case, you still need to play. And if you don't want to waste time on the game, then pay another $40 and you can already get a Drow Ranger arcana set for the New Year.

In total. If you are actively playing, willing to spend a lot of time and want to save money, then you need at least $75. Ready to wait for discounts - be ready to spend about $120. The total cost of the arcana is now $140. How much it will cost after on the marketplace is unknown.
