I have over 155 + FP 10 packs due to treasure hunt which is why I still play it.
I normally keep around 2500, with a level 8 Arc, but recently I've started leveling it, so it's going down. But I don't use Treasure Hunt at all.
Great buildings don't offer much with out mega investing beyond its fp value and its rare to place (at least for smaller players) at all in GBs except for a couple of metals.
I place regularly. Since there are FP bar FPs (or in some cases coin-for-fp FPs), I will go through my hood and friend's list and find good options. My goal is to *convert* free FPs and coin FPS to FP packs, and so I don't care if I go over the big 1.9 arc amount. So I "lose" a few. I consider it sort of a fee for converting bar FPs and coin FPs to FP packs.
Things are a bit different since I started Arc leveling a month or two ago, but prior to that, I always had 2000 - 2500 FPs, just from leveraging my daily collection and coin. If it took an extra 20 FPs in FP packs to do it, including a bunch of collection FPs and a few coin FPs, but I was getting 100 back...that works for me.
I don't pay D/C since it forces me to move on in ages when I'm far from ready to.
I have no idea what you mean by this. Only some quests require sectors, and up until now you could skip those, and then pick up the next one. Yeah, you'd go down one but it wasn't like you'd lose them all. And with the NEW thing they are adding, you can completely skip the ones you don't want to do, and it won't harm you.
I think, not sure, DC also puts any fps you get into the bar, not inventory, correct me if I'm wrong.
Everything except GBs have put the FPs on your meter instead of into packs in inventory, for quite a while now. I think the only thing that *doesn't* do that are certain regular and recurring quests, and leveling on a GB.
I desperately need fp packs.
Where else besides GBs can we get these?
See above. You just need to convert your daily/meter FPs and coin-bought FPs to FP packs, by finding likely GBs and dumping on them. If a GB gives 100 FPs, and I can get it for 150 FPs, I'm happy to dump to it - meter, then coin, then a few packs to top it off, usually over a couple of days - to convert my FPs to FP packs.
