Farming vs bonuts

I've thought about this myself, but since I build a set number of KM each time (so I don't burn through all my cash), I think I'm getting more using them for event tasks and bonuts.

Bonuts breaks up the monotony of KEM farming. It's temporary, so forget the calculations.

I did a quick number crunch, but I need someone to confirm a couple things.

I determined that if your bonus percentage is <295%, you should go for the event bonuts...otherwise, you should go for the KEM farm donuts.

This is based on having all the event premium/regular characters. I am counting 6 that pay out 80, 6 that pay out 60 and 8 that pay out 40 (total of 20 characters). Of those, 17 are either premium or have a premium skin (Cletus, Bont and Wayne Slater have no premium option).

This doesn't take into account the situation room or scanner...it only calculates the incremental boxes obtained by having these characters on either type of task.

I get excited by bonuts but not as much by KEM farming donuts. I farm all day every day, so they just don't seem special. I know they are the same but I prefer to get bonuts during the event.

One other factor is that once level 939 is reached the second chance doughnut boxes cost $50000 instead of $150000 I believe.

Ah, yes, I should have mentioned that my numbers were for players at 939...I also didn't factor in the cost of additional boxes, but that is definitely important to consider

I have over $250 mil, so it doesn't really help me to have more money.

Taking that assumption - you get a bonuts box every 4.16 cycles (one cycle being 4 hours).

Sending the same 20 characters on a 4 hour task yields $4945 per four hour cycle (not factoring in a Multiplier). That can get you 11 KEMs (with resale $ reinvested).

For me, at 395% Multiplier (and 153% hidden SH bonus) and XP collider on, it takes about 13-14 KEMs to get Bonuts. That plus the fact that it's cheaper to buy extra boxes by leveling up means that sending characters on tasks and KEM farming will earn more donuts in the long run.




That being said - my characters are all working on intel round the clock.

haha, everyone uses the term bonuts now...

Incorrectly a lot of the time.
