[JS]Training Booster Guide

Day 1,178, 10:14 • Published in Malaysia Malaysia • by Marcotje

This was going to be included in my series of Guides later on in the month, but TeMing has asked for it sooner than that so this section is being sent to the front of the pack 😉

First though, I have received PM's from eSG stating that there are still prominent eMalaysians fighting in the wrong battles. These orders are here for a reason guys, I may not be able to force you to follow them, but you are potentially hurting eMY by not following them. Any damage you do means more damage eSG has to do in order to counteract it which means more gold spending from their side which doesn't exactly make them happy. Please just follow the orders and wait for a battle in eChina to open up or for an attack on Sarawak.

Training Boosters
There are multiple factors that go into deciding your strength increase everyday, I'll be exploring the different combinations so that you can decide which you believe is best for you. I'll compare the combinations over a 90 day period starting from immediately after earning a SS medal which means 250 strength points are needed for each medal, and which assumes three HW medals are included.

Note: The base strength increase is 5 points

Free Booster
The base training amount is 5 strength. Everyday you train with at least the free 10% booster, so that means a 5.5 increase plus the one strength from the work/train bonus which totals 6.5 for free. With this combination it will take 38.46 days to reach each SS medal. So over the 90 day period, you would receive 25 gold and a strength increase of approximately 585.

50% Booster
If you train everyday with the 50% Booster you would receive 7.5 strength points plus the 1 from work/train bonus, which totals 8.5 for 0.19G everyday. With this combination it would take 29.41 days to reach each SS medal. So every 90 day period, you would receive approximately 30 gold and spend 17.1 which means a net gain of 12.9 gold every 90 days with a strength increase of about 765.

100% Booster
Training everyday with the 100% Booster would get you 10 strength points plus the 1 from the work/train bonus, which totals 11 for 1.49 everyday. With this combination it would take 22.73 days to reach each SS medal. So every 90 day period would get you about 35 gold and cost you 147.51 gold for a net loss of -112.51 gold every 90 days with a strength increase of about 990.

200% Booster
With the 200% Booster you would receive 15 strength points plus the work/train bonus, which totals 16 for 1.79 gold everyday. With this combination it takes 15.63 days for every SS medal. So for every 90 day period you would receive between 40 and 45 gold and spend 177.21 gold for a net loss of about 130-135 gold and a strength increase of 1440.

These numbers don't include the NE bonus and invited friends bonuses. The numbers don't change a whole lot for these, they are just attained more quickly and slightly more gold is earned every period. The full list will be in my future guide. The main purpose of this guide was to show eMalaysians how affordable the 50% Booster is. 0.19 gold is approximately 21 MYR at current market price. So if you are a level 5/6 worker or higher, you can afford the 50% booster everyday with just your salary. I strongly suggest every eMalaysian use the 50% booster as often as they can, it is worth the gold and you don't actually lose any gold over an extended period of time, you just earn less. If you want to use something higher than 50% I strongly urge you to NEVER use the 100% booster, it is absolutely NOT worth the gold. For only an extra 0.3 gold everyday you can use the 200% booster. If anything just use the 200% booster every other day, you'll get the same results for less gold, it'll just take longer.
