Training Upgrades and Contracts: What works for you?

Day 1,974, 05:06 • Published in Belgium Belgium

• by Boklevski

DID YOU KNOW...:
- ... even if you train at all the first three facilities (Weights room, Climbing Center and/or Shooting Range) you should NOT sign a training contract?
- ... you should sign a 90% discount contract if you train at the Shooting Range and Special Forces Center, but only a 50% contract if you just train at the Special Forces Center?
- ... you can actually MAKE A PROFIT by training of UP TO 12.30 GOLD PER MONTH?! Hey, we all have a little entrepreneur in ourselves, don't we?

Want to check that?
After blowing the dust of my newspaper typewriter, I'm sharing a spreadsheet on upgrading Training Facilities and signing Training Contract (or explicitely not signing any!).

I had the question myself if I should sign such a contract or not, or if I should sign it after upgrading my Training Facilities. So I made that spreadsheet and decided to share it; maybe I'm helping some others with it.

Here's the link, play around with it a bit. It might give some insights on your possibilities:
LINK TO GOOGLE DOCS Go to FILE > Download as Excel (or Open Office if you're PRO). That way, you can change all you want and see all formulas.

QUESTION TO ALL:
Creating a (new) training facility has not been incorporated here. I'm having all training facilities, so I can't check what it cost to create one. Does anybody know?

IF YOU...:
- like it: Leave a comment and shout to notify others. Or don't. Whatever you want.
- notice an improvement, or have a question/suggestion: Leave a comment.
- notice an error/mistake: PM me. Immediately.
- don't like it: Don't use it.

Nice information, Bok! I do have all facilities fully upgraded and do make a small profit with a 90% contract.

I truly hate ruining your day, but according to my sheet (so let me know if I'm wrong):
... training costs you 0.29 G a day (90% contract). During 30 days that's 8.61 G costs.
... you get a SS medal every 2.78 days (all training facilities upgraded), which is 30/2.78 = 10.79 medals during the 30 days contract, which equals 53.9 G.

So the total profit of training is 53.9 - 8.61 = 45.29 G in 30 days. However, you have to pay 53 G for the contract, so you're paying 8 GOLD in 30 days net. No (financial) profit there...

Does that make your choice bad? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

When you train at all Training Facilities, it is the BEST OPTION to sign a 90% contract! (instead of having no contract or only 50% off.)

NOTE TO ALL:
You'll never make a profit with training when training at all facilities. However, you'll become a strong fighter much faster if you do so! Obviously, MaryamQ has no problem with only 8 GOLD a month if that enables her to kick those French much harder back to Paris. Don't only look at the financial aspects!

take in mind that if you buy the contract of 30 days, you can have 31 discount trainings ...

you are counting to much parameters here
with or without contract, if all facilities are q4, medals are the same, so do not count them, without contract you pay 86.1 a month, with contract you pay 53+8,61=61.61 a month that is a difference of 24.49

@ boer jan: True... IF you wish to train at all 4 facilities.

If you want to save money, you should train at (for example) the first two only. If you want to gain as much strenght as possible, you train at all four.

The spreadsheet merely provides an opportunity to play around and test ALL strategies and grasp the concept of training facilities and contracts.
