Today the admins have put up training contracts again. I'm going to talk about who can benefit from a training contract and I breakdown the numbers of training and discover a shocking surprise.
The ability to purchase the training contacts only lasts to the end of day 2705, so if you miss it this time: read on and an prepare yourself for when it is next on. There are two different contracts that you are offered, a 50% off cost, and a 90% off one. You can only buy one so if you are going to purchase one it should be the 90% one. This offers is better value for money in terms of initial cost verses long term training cost so it is a straight forward choice.
The benefits
These vary from person to person, depending if you use all of your training facilities each day. To work out if it is worth it take the cost of each training facility you use and times it by the amount of times you use it over a 30 day period (how long a training contract lasts). Add the different training facility costs you have worked out above together. Now you have one number that if your total expenditure on training in a 30 day period. Now you need to work out 90% of that figure and take this off the total cost. To work out 90% off the move the decimal point one place to the left* (dividing by ten has this exact effect) then times this number by nine. so for example...
Total cost for 30 days is 86.10 Gold.
86.10 divided by 10 is 8.61 Gold. 8.61 times 9 is 77.49.
So 90% of 86.10 Gold is 77.49 Gold. To find out how much this would cost you take the discount off the total expenditure figure. 86.10 minus 77.49 equals 8.61 Gold.
8.61 becomes the cost of your training grounds over 30 days. Of course add in the cost of the 90% training contract which is 53 Gold. So 8.61 Gold plus 53 Gold is 61.61 Gold. Notice this is significantly cheaper than the original 86.10 Gold.
How do I get a training contact?
Go to 'Gold and Extras' in the bar at the top of the page then select 'Special Items' and you will see the contracts on the top right as shown below.
If they are not there this is because the offer only lasts for day 2705 and you have missed it. Don't worry though, at least now you have worked out that you can benefit from taking out this offer so the next time it comes around you can jump on it.
How much Gold...
I have upgraded all of my training grounds and I purchase training contracts whenever I can, this means instead of 86.10 Gold every 30 days I pay out a total of 61.61 Gold (training costs plus the cost of a training contract). That is a saving of 24.49 Gold per month. However lets go further and work out how much I earn in 'Super Soldier' medals (5 Gold is awarded per SS medal). Each day I get 90 strength from using my training grounds and 1 strength from completing the work + train bonus. So each day I gain 91 strength; times this by 30 days equals 2730 strength. It takes just 250 strength to earn a SS medal, so in 30 days I get 10.92 SS medals. 10.92 medals times the 5 Gold a medal equals 54.6 Gold.
Now when I take my total strength gaining expenditure (training cost and training contract) which is 61.61 Gold and I take off the money earned in SS medals: 54.60 Gold, I get 7.01 Gold. So, every 30 days I spend 7.01 Gold and I gain 2730 strength! That works out at a cost of less than 0.24 Gold a day!
As pointed out in the comments section if I take the Gold from my 'Hard Worker' medal (earned after 30 days of work) and invest this into training I only have to find another 2.01 Gold over the 30 day period. This then lowers the cost per day to 0.067 Gold!
Fully upgraded training facilities make cheap training cost effective
Again thanks to the comments section for this addition... It is worth pointing out that to fully upgrade training grounds from Q1 to Q4 it costs 170 Gold for each facility.
If you only upgrade your grounds when there's a sale on (and you'd be mad not to wait for the sales), you'll get a discount of 45%. This makes each upgrade just 93.5 Gold rather than 170 Gold. If you have not upgraded any of your training building it will cost you 374 Gold when using the 45% discount. These may seem like large numbers but few people will upgrade all buildings in one go. Upgrading buildings as offers come up is the way to go. If you are not doing all the upgrades at once; do the ones that are better value for money first, so upgrade the first training ground, then the second then the fourth then the third. This order is based on which grounds provide the most strength for Gold.
It does take some investment to get to a position where it's worth buying the 90% contract to train, but once you're there it's a great position to be in.

Count HW medal, and you spend 2.01g
good information...
actually everyone already knows this.
wow i had no idea! better get me one of those
It's worth pointing out that to fully upgrade the third and fourth TG requires 340 gold (170 each).
If you only upgrade them when there's a sale on (and you'd be mad not to wait for the sales), you'll get an overall discount of 45%, which works out at 153 gold. Take the 153 saving from the 340 cost and you're left with an outlay of 187 gold.
So it takes 187 gold to get you to a position where it's worth buying 90% contracts to train.
Good info Maybe you should pass this information along to Mr Woldy

Btw assuming you don't have a TC running constantly and can exploit the full potential of 31 times trained (since it runs for 720 hrs exactly) and including the gold from the hard worker medal, you even make money (0.186g).
Its about time old UKers started to upgrade all their training grounds instead of just the free ones..
Unbelievable
Very well young fellow!
It was a bit of a shock to experience the massive 'Strength Inflation' that has occurred since I dropped off for my 3.5 Rumpelstiltskin sleep. I used to be quite 'well endowed' in the eUK strength department back in those days - I awoke to find myself a weedy underfed octogenarian!
My training facilities are now suitably enhance and training contract engaged - all I have to do now is to keep training for about 6 years in order to catch up.....
lol
yeah 11k is weak in div 3, 10 more levels your be divison 4 how much do you train a day ? you would be better not fighting for a while
How do you know this? Whilst I'm not disputing the notion that their are long term players who don't upgrade TG's, just as it's unbelievable that people multi, long in every month or any other undesirable thing to our personal level of engagement. Is this guessing by looking at the daily gains? I've upgraded my TG;s (without any loans) but can't afford to run them all the time.
how do I know , I just check on egov how much people train a day if they train 21 they have upgraded all free training grounds and that is it
I've upgraded my TG;s (without any loans) but can't afford to run them all the time.,
do you buy the training contact ?
see this is the case in question its benefits the uk if you are stronger you should be training max every day
Proving my point, you've just asserted that you do the exact thing I'm suggesting is deficient thinking. Because daily=21 doesn't mean TG's aren't maxed. Likely a temporary issue whilst people build up gold. Yes it's important to train, but it's far more important to be self sufficient. To not be a burden on eUK and live hand to mouth on hand-outs, you need businesses.
I can afford max training all the time, referral gold throne ftw?
a other thing is. how faster you grow with you strength gives you more chance to win a BH or CH and gives you faster your TP medals because your damage will be higher in a shorter time.
Thanks for the info. I believe this training cost calculator is still working at the link below:
http://tools.narrenturm.eu/trainingCalculator.php
I think the uk should have a program where we look at individual players and if their active help them upgrade their training not a loan this should be a prio !
Isn't that the job the military units? Even if they don't have programs to help active people, they're the best way to distribute government funds in a targeted manner.
MU's can come and go , it should be a national prio,
p.s I see you reign of terror over New Era is over
To all you people ridiculing this article - this is for beginners, not for experienced players who "know this". That's why it's put in the topic "First steps in eRepublic".
Good job, Max!

People may mock this as common sense but there are many people in my feeds celebrating their training contracts when they make a loss overall, in which case this is a needed piece of information for new players
yeah. I see a noob bought a 90% TG contract but he hasn't fully upgraded their TG centers.
pretty sad.
well the 53 gold would buy an upgrade, which would be much better spent (or even a rubber and a hafl)

maybe lack of education caused this...

Nice job, also worth mentioning that you do not have to wait for one to expire to get the next, the time just adds on each time you buy it.
