Level 939

Soooooooo I finally finished the grind to 939, and honestly, it's not exactly as great as I thought. I guess you should always read the posts in detail but I guess my main issue is instead of needing 500000 to "level up" it now takes 1000000. So ever four hours I was pulling in 2 donuts with two level ups, 30 KEMs. Now it takes 4 hours to get maybe 3 donuts, only if I guess right. Ya it only takes 50000 to pick another box but so that means I'm still potentially spending money just for the extra donut. Is there a better way? A link to another thread?

*disclaimer* I have no idea what my multiplier is, and not sure how to figure that out.

    On average, you will get 2 donuts per box for 1 million XP, the same as before level 939. Click on the link in my signature to find out if you should be paying to open more boxes.

  • Here's my strategy on opening bonus boxes:
    I got 3! Hooray for me!
    I got 2. That'll do.
    Only 1? Try again son.
    Actually I hardly ever go for a second try. I usually just take whatever I get. On average you're going to get 2 donuts from the Bonus boxes. It may not seem that way sometimes, but you can't use 2, 3, or even 100 attempts as a baseline for your average. You need at least 1000 samples.
    As for the difference between pre and post 939: You were getting 1 donut for 500,000, now you're averaging 2 donuts for 1,000,000. That's the same number of donuts per dollar (or XP).

    Hey I really like your simulator! But just FYI bug report: the "Open if guaranteed improvement" option is displaying the wrong $$$ value in the "Spend per 4 hours" field - it is displaying the "Total Spent" value instead of the 4 hour value...
  • @redec69 I cannot take the credit for the sim, @alapalme posted it some time ago, but doesn't post on the forum very often, that's why I decided to link it in my signature.

    I think differently on this : IGC is free, donuts are not. Go for three every time!
  • If I get 1 I will try again. For 2 or 3 usually no. No special reason. Just because
