[MoC] Top 1 of good investments
SO_HelpdeskNL
[ENGLISH BELOW]
Mateloos irritant natuurlijk, als je net begint met spelen, je hebt wat goud hebt gespaard en dan komen er artikelen uit die je vertellen dat je het niet moet uitgeven. Is ook irritant. En het zijn allemaal leuke speeltjes, die damage boosters, rockets en bombs, maar zolang jij nog elke cent moet omdraaien is het helaas niet slim om hier je geld of goud aan uit te geven.
In 5 artikelen heeft het Ministerie van Coaching de 5 slechtste investeringen die je als beginnende speler kan doen voor je op een rij gezet. Wil je ze allemaal nog eens nalezen, dit is de top 5 van slechte investeringen (met link):
1. health kits en energy bars
2. damage boosters - zelfs met 50% korting
3. rocket companies
4. wapenproductie
5. voedselbedrijven
De enige echt slimme investering? Investeer in je training ground!
Rijk worden is een kwestie van trainen. Letterlijk! Het meeste rendement haal je uit je training grounds. Elke keer trainen in je gratis training ground levert je 5 strength points (SP) op. Plus 1 bonus point per dag en 5 bonus points op de 5e dag. Na elke 250 SP krijg je een Super Soldier medal (= 5 goud). Na 36 dagen heb je 251 punten bereikt. Omgerekend 5 goud / 36 dagen = 0,13 goud per dag.
Upgrades van je training grounds zijn net zo duur als companies (wacht ook op de 44% discounts). Maar... je wordt daardoor niet alleen sneller sterk maar ook sneller rijk! Na je eerste upgrade krijg je +5 SP per dag en haal je je volgende SS medal na 22 dagen. Je verdient 5 goud / 22 dagen = 0,23 goud per dag. Je winst is 0,10 goud (omgerekend 35 NLG) per dag. Na de tweede upgrade (weer +5/dag extra) duurt het 14 dagen. Ofwel 5 goud / 14 dagen = 0,36 goud per dag. Je winst is 0,24 goud per dag (85 NLG).
Spaar dus je goud zoveel mogelijk op tot er een volgende 44% discount voorbij komt!
Geen idee wat al deze termen betekenen, of gaat het je even wat te snel? Kom gerust een keer naar #coachingNL op de IRC of stuur een pm, dan leggen we het gewoon nog eens uit!

[ENGLISH VERSION]
Incredibly annoying of course, starting out as a new player, finally having some gold in your pocket, and then these articles come out telling you not to spend it. True thing, that is annoying. And they are fun toys, these boosters, rockets and bombs. But as long as you have to turn every penny before spending it, it really is not smart to spend your money or gold on them.
In 5 articles the Ministry of Coaching created a list of the worst investments for you as a starting player. If you want to read them back, here you can find the top 5 of bad investments (with links to articles):
1. health kits and energy bars
2. damage boosters - even with 50% discount
3. rocket companies
4. weapon production
5. food companies
The one really smart investment? Invest in your training ground!
Becoming rich is a matter of training. Literally! You do get the most effect from your Training Grounds. Every time you train in your free training ground you get 5 strength points (SP). Plus 1 bonus point every day and 5 bonus points on the 5th day. After 250 SP you get a Super Soldier medal (= 5 Gold). After 36 days you earned 251 SP. Converte😛
5 gold / 36 days = 0.13 gold a day.
Upgrading your training grounds costs the same as upgrading your companies (Always wait for the 44% discounts). But... with upgrading your training grounds you not only get stronger, but also rich faster! After your first upgrade you get +5 SP a day and you get your next Super Soldier already after 22 days. You earn 5 gold / 22 days = 0,23 gold a day. Your profit is 0,10 gold (converted 35 NLG) a day. After the second upgrade (again +5 strength /day extra) it only takes 14 days to get a Super Soldier. Or 5 gold / 14 days = 0.36 gold per day. Your profit is 0.24 gold per day (85 NLG).
So, save as much gold as you can, and wait till the next 44% discount!

Training ftw
it's ridiculous that the economy is this down so you make more money with achievement-medals than with actually doing business
btw with just investing (at least the first) gold into trainingcenters the newbies don't buy bad companies like weapon and produce low-quality-weapons which equals burning money (because raw is more expensive than the weapons are worth)
& with JUST working for an employer (who is usually paying more than the newbies would earn with working as manager in 3 of their own measly low-quality-companies) the newbies don't get too much experience from working (because working is 2exp - fighting just 1) and don't raise in level and with that divisions which would just make it harder to earn battlehero-medals (and BH-gold)
& they still get the hardworker medal at the same speed no matter if they are working in one company or in 100 every day...
and companies are a too expensive investment at the moment because they nearly don't bring profit. & you shouldn't think that in the future it only can go better... admins proved quite often that there is an even worse after the worse...
usually you invest smart in companies. that's either
a) when they bring so much profit at the moment that you will have repaid the investment after just working there like 30days - so even if you don't have this huge profit for the full 30days (maybe you get it just 10days) just getting as much out of the situation as possible as long as possible is enough to justify the investment you make now
that was maybe with q4-weapon-raw after q7-companies where implemented - the q4 was not really that cheap but the huge profit of weaponraw justified the investment
or
b) when the investment is so cheap at the moment that you can just invest without any problem
that was way before when monetary market was at 1g:2600cc so with one hardworker or other medal =5g you could just go and buy like 1,5* q4raw-companies
well and what do we have now?
profits?
lower than low
cheap investments?
buying companies with gold is expensive and with currency it's even worse
* just 10g was needed to build 3 q4-companies just imagine that!
ps
yeah there is investment type c) and d) too
c) being the guy who has enough money and who can use diversification to make profit
so he invests in gold-companies, currency-companies, workers, holds gold and currency in his account...
when labour is more expensive - he has accumulated workforce from before
when MM goes up - he dissolves gold-companies and changes gold to currency
when MM goes down - he dissolves currency-companies and changes currency to gold
etc
so it doesn't matter what will happen he is prepared for everything
well and then you have investment-type d) which is the "i couldn't care less"-guy
if he want's something and he has the money he will just buy it if he has no money then he won't buy...
i think many newbies are the d)-type as they invest in bad economy just to invest and some of them are even making bad investments like producing low-quality-weapons and losing money because they don't care to calculate the profits or don't know how to do it right...
Awesome series of articles.
Ligt het aan mij of klopt de berekening niet, na 2 upgrades van je trainingsgrond krijg je niet gemiddelt 0,23 meer goud per dag, maar slechts 0,20 meer goud per dag, ( 10 str, 250 str=50 goud, dus gemiddelt 1 medal meer in 25 dagen= 0,2 goud meer per dag
Verder helemaal mee eens dat trainingsgronden de enige juiste keuze zijn aan begin van het spel.
Maar is het ook niet zo dat je alleen door te investeren in de eerste 2 training grounds je gold kan verdienen?
Zelfs al is je Shooting Range en/of Special Forces Centre q4, je maakt er alsnog verlies mee. Je krijgt hier alleen sneller strength van.
Zou er dus niet nog vermeld moeten worden dat je alleen door het upgraden van je Weights Room en Climbing Centre echt gold kan verdienen?
Of zit ik nu helemaal fout?
@girlpower klopt. maar als je shooting range Q4 hebt maak je per maand iets meer dan 1 goud verlies. als je werkmedaille erbij rekent sta je nog steeds met 4 goud per maand in de plus. En je traint dan ook nog sneller. Maar je moet shootingrange niet gebruiken als je die nog maar Q2 hebt
@herbill: in deze berekening zijn alle bonuspunten ook meegenomen, je kunt ze niet helemaal apart berekenen namelijk. Uiteindelijk is dit exact het aantal dagen tot de volgende medal, dus de meest zuivere doorrekening.
@girlpower: alleen met de eerste twee verdien je letterlijk meer dan je aan trainen uitgeeft, maar over de andere hoef je je als beginnende speler nog niet echt druk te maken 🙂 Bovendien is het altijd interessant om in je training te investeren: je krijgt een hogere basisdamage waardoor je ook andere medailles makkelijker/sneller binnenhaalt (BH, TP).
