I thought it's gonna be complicated to the level of Ag cost that happyfunball did, but turned out middle school math is good enough in this case...





All we need to look at is the first Private gold cost from lvl 1 -10







Pix just adds some random extra 20, 30s for each level and trying to scam us to pay more gold for the levels.

No, thanks. I'll get every single pilot at level 1 and slowly level him/her up. At the end of the day, it's the promotion gold that eat us alive, so you better preserve every bit of level up gold and level it free through battles.



Here is all the information I have







Very simple pattern here,



Same level pilot

Promote Priv --> Corp, cost 500 gold, but if you get Corp from shop directly, you only paid 400 gold for the promotion. That's 20% discount



Promote Corp --> Serg, cost 1000 gold, but if you get Serg from shop directly, you only paid 800 gold for the promotion. That's 20% discount, again.



Promote Serg --> Lieu, cost 1500 gold, but if you get Lieu from shop directly, you only paid 1200 gold for the promotion. That's 20% discount, again!



So the deal is, whatever rank you get from shop, that pilot's entire rank promotion is 20% cheaper.







My suggestion to minimize total gold cost for 5 pilots is



Get 2 pilots first only to lvl 21

Then buy a low level Serg from shop which saves you 300 gold.

Get those 3 pilots to lvl31

Then buy a low level Lieu from shop which saves you 600 gold.

Get those 4 pilots to lvl41

Then your final pilot will be a low level Captain from shop which saves you 1100 gold.



This way, it will save you 2000 gold total than buying 5 pilots on the first day you update the game.

But the bad side is that you have to level pilots up 1 after 1 and wait to get lucky in the shop to buy a low level high rank pilot.

Thanks for each one of you who shared the Screenshot from Pilot shop, as promised I'll crack the math for ya.I thought it's gonna be complicated to the level of Ag cost that happyfunball did, but turned out middle school math is good enough in this case...All we need to look at is the first Private gold cost from lvl 1 -10Pix just adds some random extra 20, 30s for each level and trying to scam us to pay more gold for the levels.No, thanks.

You only need 5 bots, refresh skills when switch to new bots. I’m sorry I don’t know what you mean.You only need 5 bots, refresh skills when switch to new bots.

I figured it out. Sometimes it takes awhile for these things to sink in with me. 😆 I was wondering if there’s a different route for bigger savings with 2 hangars. It’s basically the same route you proposed. Just get pilots 6 thru 10 with 1100 savings. Brilliant post.



I have another question though. How long does it take to get to level 41? I figured it out.

For whales, about 20s, for the rest of us, I est a few weeks or more of game play. My play time is down a bit and my highest is lvl 27. Will probably hit 31 today.

Member Back to Top Post by noctaire on So...there’s more to this process than just the gold savings side of it. You need to consider the time aspect as well. The higher the rank, the longer it will take you to grind out the next set of levels. This is why buying a pilot with rank AND level is often an even better deal. Of course, the issue is whether or not you have the gold to do that. Players who are buying more than the basic 5 would get ahead by getting their first few upgraded then going all in at whatever rate you can afford using the above. There have been some deals where you can get a higher ranking Pilot with levels for roughly the same cost as just a L1/Private after discounting the promotion costs. I’ve seen Lieutenants (500/1000/1500) with ranks around 25 to for as little as 3300ish. I think THAT is where you get the best bang for the buck they come with probably a couple three weeks worth of leveling already done and 3 skills to boot.



Having the gold though...that’s the issue....

Jagging a 10% armour boost for 100 gold is a darn sight cheaper than 5000 gold and 120million silver. Hence why I'm getting the cheapest L1 Private and then going for a decent skill for each of my bots and not bothering promoting them until I have more gold.Jagging a 10% armour boost for 100 gold is a darn sight cheaper than 5000 gold and 120million silver.
