AI Overview: Arena Packs were one-time shop offers that unlocked when you reached a new Arena. Each held a chest, gold and gems, and the price rose with the Arena. The old table is kept below. A search summary says chests were removed in 2025, so the chest-based list cannot match the game today. Current pack status could not be confirmed.
Last Updated: October 2026
Key Points:
- Arena Packs showed in the shop for 2 days after you reached a new Arena, then once a week.
- Each pack was a one-time purchase. Arena 1 and Arena 2 had none.
- Prices ran from $0.99 to $9.99, and bigger packs gave more gems per dollar.
- A search summary says the chest system was removed in 2025, so the chest types in the old table are history.
- Current Arena Pack status could not be confirmed. Check the in-game shop.
How Arena Packs Worked
It answered a flood of reader questions, so it reads like a rule list.
The short version: reach a new Arena, see its pack for 2 days, then once a week if you skip it. The catch: each pack is a one-time buy, so a purchased pack never returns.
- No packs for Arena 1 and Arena 2.
- Instant rewards: chest, gold and gems arrive at once, and the chest opens at once.
- Card pool: a chest gives cards from your Arena and below. In Arena 9, an Arena 7 pack still gives Arena 8 cards.
- Second chance: a 25% chance to see a pack from the Arena below, so a top-Arena player could buy every pack.
What it means: the packs were a way to catch up, not to skip ahead. Still unknown: whether any pack with this structure remains, because a 2026 search found nothing on it.
Supercell has moved the shop from chest bundles to event offers, and more changes of that kind are likely. The negative effect: players who relied on pack bundles for a quick upgrade lose a cheap shortcut, and the shop gets harder to read.
The Old Price Table
| Arena | Chest | Gems | Gold | Price |
| 3 | Giant | 80 | 1,000 | $0.99 |
| 4 | Magical | 80 | 1,000 | $0.99 |
| 5 | Super Magical | 500 | 1,000 | $4.99 |
| 6 | Magical | 500 | 10,000 | $4.99 |
| 7 | Super Magical | 1,200 | 10,000 | $9.99 |
| 8 | Magical | 1,200 | 100,000 | $9.99 |
| 9 | Super Magical | 1,200 | 10,000 | $9.99 |
| 10 | Legendary | 1,200 | 100,000 | $9.99 |
A little math on that table shows the pattern. The $0.99 packs give about 81 gems per dollar, the $4.99 packs give about 100, and the $9.99 packs give about 120. So the bigger the price, the better the gem rate. Gold also jumps from 1,000 to 10,000 to 100,000, but it drops back to 10,000 at Arena 9.
The takeaway: the top packs gave the best gem value. The catch: prices and contents in the old table were never confirmed for 2026, so do not plan a purchase from it.
If packs return in a new form, expect tiers that reward higher Arenas, as before. The negative effect: a pack that grows with your Arena could push free players to feel behind at each new unlock.
What to Check Today

The short version: treat the old table as history, and check the shop for the truth.
Reading the Table by Arena
Arena 3 and 4: the $0.99 packs. 80 gems and 1,000 gold each, with a Giant or Magical Chest.
Arena 5 and 6: the $4.99 packs. 500 gems each, with Super Magical and Magical Chests, and gold rising from 1,000 to 10,000.
Arena 7 to 10: the $9.99 packs. 1,200 gems each, with chests ending in a Legendary Chest at Arena 10.
What it means: every price step doubled or more the gem count. The catch: the chest types alternate in a pattern the page does not explain, and cards come only from your Arena and below.
Pack-style offers tend to return under new names, often tied to events instead of Arenas. The negative effect: players who pay for convenience may find the value harder to compare than a simple gems-per-dollar table.
Is an Old Pack Worth Chasing?
Check 1: is the pack in your shop now? If not, nothing in the old table applies.
Check 2: what does the chest hold? Cards come only from your Arena and below, so a chest from a low pack adds little late in the game.
Check 3: what is the gem rate? Use the math above: about 81, 100 and 120 gems per dollar.
Check 4: what else could the money buy? Pass Royale and event offers are often better planned for long play.
The short version: a one-time pack is a small boost. The catch: no 2026 price list was found, so the safest advice is to read the shop screen.
Add up every row of the old table and you get the whole set: eight packs for $51.92, with 5,960 gems and 233,000 gold, plus the chests. Most of the gold, 200,000 of it, sits in two packs at Arena 8 and Arena 10. The numbers come from the old table only and were not checked for 2026, and none of them is a price quote for today’s shop.
