:: smeekileaks :: Unlimited Q7 Production For 1 Day

Day 2,563, 12:18 • Published in Argentina Thailand • by deleted smee
Goodevening eRepublikans,

This Friday is Black Friday and eRep is celebrating the sales by offering us the following specials:








- 25% off on house companies
- 25% off on house raw companies
- 37% off on energy bars
- 50% off on training grounds
- 50% off on company upgrades (I believe they mean only food and weapons companies)

Also, we will once again see the War Surplus pack that was introduced on day 2,500. For the War Surplus pack you can refer to an older article of mine which analyzes it.

Regarding the discounts offered, personally I'm not interested in house companies or house raw companies. Perhaps I'll create these companies if they ever introduce Q6 and Q7 houses which provide the extra recovery they previously told us about, but until then I'm indifferent.

The 37% off on energy bars is a good offer for somebody that buys energy bars, it gives an extra 7% off. Instead of 27.3gold for 10bars it will cost you 24.57gold, a savings of 2.73gold per pack. Personally I have a lot of bars left from the Epic Warfare challenge, so I don't need bars right now.

Regarding the training grounds, unfortunately, I can't upgrade them anymore as I have them all at Q4.

Now the last discount, the 50% off on company upgrades is something that can be used to your benefit.

As you all know, the standard discount on companies (weapons and food) is 45%. To upgrade from Q1 to Q7 is 671 gold. However, with the new 50% discount it is only 610 gold. You might say "So I save 61 gold, big whoop!". What you have to remember is that when you downgrade from Q7 to Q1 you get your 610 gold back.

So, upgrade 610 gold paid, downgrade 610 gold returned.

The advantage is, if you have 1 Q7 company and a few Q1/Q2/Q3/etc companies what you can do on Friday is work your Q7 company, downgrade it, use the money to upgrade your next Q1 to Q7, work it and then downgrade it. You can use this method to work as many companies as you want all as Q7.

Even if you don't have any Q1 companies you can use this method. Let's say you have 1 Q7 company and 100 gold. You can create 10 Q1 companies with the 100 gold (or buy off the company market) and work 11 companies as Q7 (1 Q7 + 10 Q1). Remember, this is only for Friday because only then we will have this discount! 10 days later you can sell your Q1 companies on the company market and get your 100 gold back. (Check your local company market to see what the prices are)

Of course, it's up to you to calculate and analyze if the profit you can make is worth the effort. I will not get into that here.

Personally I've used this method several times in the past. When they first introduced the company discount a few years ago it was always a 50% discount. Back then we only had Q5 companies and I used this method to work several Q1 companies as Q5 for the days the discount was running. Of course, I would profit a huge amount of gold back then with this method.

Personally, I will create a few companies with the 50% discount. It is a method for me to "save" gold. If I keep gold on my account I always tend to waste it quite easily. Whenever I need the gold I will just downgrade the companies and get all my gold back. (Of course, as long as they don't change the game mechanics *wink* )

Let me also remind you, that when you downgrade house companies you only get 30% of your gold back.

I notice that no new rocket factory discount is available, and it's been a year since they offered this discount.
