Stratosphere Strategy Goals: 80 Arc, 75 CC
WHY: Stratosphere (push to high level) an Arc to 80 to reap the benefit of 1.9% rewards for all GB contributions. This includes FPs, Medals & BPs. FPs rewards @ level 80 should result in an accumulation of FP packs measured in 10s of thousands in a very short period of time (for aggressive, daily players, much sooner... for a casual, non-daily player like myself, months). Medals: I've planted the final expansion in both cities that have 80 level Arcs well before my contemporaries (again, comparing myself to other members of more casual-minded guilds). BPs: I don't really need to hunt BPs... it's easier to stack CC BPs as a contributor to the 75 CC "leveling party" if you're an 80 owner...
HOW: Pushing an Arc to 80 can be very time-consuming. It can become a little monotonous... it can get a little boring pushing the same GB day after day, week after week... so, when that feeling bubbles up, shift your attention to another GB... give yourself a break. Now, the reality: to push to 80, you'll need 80 complete BP sets... haha! This requires you to actively participate in the growth & development of Arcs in your guild, 'hood & friends lists... @ a reward level... it's not enough to throw 10 here & there... you need to secure spots... which is why you'll want to open your thread to BP hunters & initiate a reciprocal relationship. You're also going to need to "lock" or secure your contributors, which means self-contributing to ensure no one can snipe their reward position.
IMPORTANT NOTE: everywhere I've played, if a "secured" reward spot is sniped, the owner owes the contributor the difference... get familiar with the tool & learn how to read/use it...
The Tool: https://foetools.net/gbleveler.html?v=0.8.8 *appreciation to the creator (I am not, nor do I assume credit)
Level 80 Arc:
Create an individual Arc leveling thread, preferably including multiple 80 level Arc owners to secure 1, 2 & 3 spots @ 1.85%, 1.8% & 1.8%.
You might engage fellow Arc owners within arms reach of your level... everyone on this journey needs a minimum of 80 complete BP sets to get to 80. These additional participants can/usually will grab 4 & 5 spots. I do not try to lock/secure all 5 spots... I think you'll go broke trying it &/or significantly extend the time needed to complete the push, but there are multiple factors involved, so... ymmv.
Do NOT open Arc levels past 29; from level 30 & up, the 1 spot can be secured @ a 50% total level cost contribution which is significantly less than 1.85%, specifically in higher levels. If you open future levels early, a mate/friend/neighbor can roll your GB for you to secure the top spot on the next level.
Once you've identified who is taking what spots, what spots are being secured for the specific level & what your contribution is, then open the next level. You may also inform your guild via a "GB ready to level" post for BP hunters to grab 4 & 5 spots once you've secured the top spots...
The Arc owner should secure spots 1 & 2 (<100 FPs) for levels 30-35; 1, 2 & 3 should be secured from 36-60 (<100 FPs).
61-65 are less clear. The owner would spend 100-200 FPs to secure 1-3, but could work with contributors & not spend any FPs to secure/lock 1 & 2.
66-72, the owner should focus on 1 & 2; securing 3 becomes quite costly here.
73-75 will cost the owner 100-200 FPs to secure 1 & 2.
76-80 will cost the owner 200-500+ FPs to secure 1 & 2.
CONSIDER THIS: It is suggested that the owner elevate contributions to 1.9% for 1, 2 & 3 from level 65-80... this should be agreed upon early/in advance within the pool. The medals, particularly for recent 80 owners, should be sufficient reward. If you have a good group, you might adjust from 60 forward (perhaps 1.9, 1.85, 1.85 for 60s, 1.9, 1.9. 1.9 for 70s... I'll come back & update this with the approach I take on my next Arc in Xyr).
Level 75 Cape Canaveral:
WHY: The Cape is the most cost-efficient FP producing GB in the game. *I could be totally wrong... haha! I just think, for the footprint & the # of FPs being equal to level, it's worthwhile... &, you can push to a high level, meaning, significant FPs per collection, very, very simply...
HOW: Find someone hosting a CC leveling party & get involved. The 5 spot costs 10 FPs from 33-62. You'll gain significant BPs, even without an 80 level Arc, by contributing @ this level... obviously, if you can secure the 1 spot, you're gold, even the 2 spot puts you in great position.
Build the CC to level 32; do NOT open levels past 32 for the same reason as previously described.
The approach to the CC "Leveling Party" requires 10K FPs in packs for the owner to stratosphere from 33-75 in a single event which should take about an hour. ROI for the owner is roughly 9m (difference in daily FP production from level 32 & 75 = 43). If preferred, the owner can push from 33-60 for about 3K in FP packs. (all following #s are based on 33-75)
The participant pool should consist of Arc owners near 80 or above as each spot, 1-5, is required to contribute @ 1.9% with the CC owner adding all remaining FPs per level. Participants building their own CCs are preferred as the BPs are significant.
The rewards for 1 & 2, if static, are as follows:
1 will receive 900K in medals & enough BPs to complete their own push to this level.
2 will receive 450K in medals & approximately 40 BP sets.
I do not have #s for 3, 4 or 5, but *again* the 5 spot contribution is 10 FPs from 33-62 & 19 from 63-75.
The #s for levels 33-75 are as follows:
