Dino Hunters capsule ladder and pricing — Capture Luck vs. Coin / Robux cost

The seven-tier capsule ladder

The Tech-vs-Elite trap

Tech Capsule is sold for 159 Robux and grants 300 Capture Luck. Elite Capsule costs 7,200 Coins and grants strictly better 320 Capture Luck. The CL/Robux figure for Tech (1.887) looks reasonable in isolation, but it is not the right comparison — the right comparison is CL per unit of real money, and Elite beats Tech on every dimension:

• More Capture Luck per cost (320 vs. 300).
• No Robux spend.
• A pure Coin sink that re-circulates into the in-game economy.

The wiki calculator fires a hard-coded swap alert on every Tech Capsule selection.

When Master beats Elite

Master Capsule (700 Capture Luck, 90,000 Coins) crosses the CL_mod = 0.95 cap only when the rarity base rate is so low that the extra Capture Luck still matters. In practice this happens only with Legendary rarity targets when the calculator already reports p_catch > 0.85. For most Common → Epic captures, Elite is the right pick and the 82,800-Coin delta to Master does not move the needle.

Free capsules (Basic, Fine)

Basic and Fine capsules are starter / set rewards with no Coin or Robux cost. The cost-to-confidence output is 0 Coins for both, so the calculator suppresses the cost panel and surfaces an attempts-only view. The tool adds a time-cost note in minutes of farming so readers understand the trade-off is time, not currency.
