This ‘sweet range’ can also extends down to lower reward spots so you will need to be mindful of how you ‘secure’ (aka prime, seed, lock) the remaining reward spots. The general method is by ‘stepping’ through each reward spot by managing access to your GB by first NOT unlocking/opening the next level until you know you have those first two investors lined up and ready. This can be cumbersome but very effective. One method is to disconnect (i.e., remove roads) your GB until such time as you have an investor ready so it will require coordination and timing. That is 89 additional FP that the owner will now need to contribute to their own GB to secure it for the investor at the 2nd reward spot if it is sniped. At a 1.9 rate, that is a 2,223 investment BUT again, it can be sniped for 2,134 FP. Who eats that 3 FP difference? You do as the GB owner.įast-forward to a Level 70 Arc that requires 4,268 FP to level.
If it is sniped at 795 FP, an additional 3 more FP is now needed to secure the second reward spot. The first reward place is automatically secured for a 1.9 investor for 798 FP, BUT it can be sniped for 795 FP. Your Level 29 Arc needs 1,590 FP to level. That’s good, right? What’s the big deal? Again, I like numbers so here is an example … That is, a simple 1.9 contribution by the investor to the GB locks in the spot so it cannot be sniped (and automatically lockes in the second reward spot). Now for the Why? At Arc Level 29, the first and second reward places are automatically secured for a 1.9 investor with no FP contribution by the owner. Also, remember that a sniper is in it to make FPs and a Level 80 Arc is the most prevalent level that folks stop at so we will stick with the 1.9 reward rate for the sake of this discussion. So, now we understand when it starts (when the owner no longer needs to protect those first two spots for the investor rate commitment), but WHY? You will need to understand another party’s perspective of your GB – the Sniper.Īs a reminder, to ‘secure’ (or lock/prime/seed) a reward spot simply means that the person that has contributed on that spot/slot/place CANNOT be sniped by others and lose their investment by being bumped down a spot. You will see this ‘dip’ or inflection point of the sweet range at on the Foe Assistant Arc-Cost Graph. Again, using the 1.9 rate, the owners’ portion is only 40 FP.
Keeping with the Arc, at its most inexpensive point - Level 45 -> 46, a total of 2,360 FP is required. By using investors at a 1.9 rate, this can be done by a 440 FP investment by the owner with all remaining FP coming from investors. Let’s look at an example from the GB owner's point of view.Īn Arc that going from Level 17 -> 18 requires 1,182 FP to level. When folks say ‘hey, you are close to the sweet range’ they are utilizing in context of utilizing investors that have a Level 80 Arc so the investor receive a 90% bonus on rewards (1.9 as in the mathematical formula: Reward x 1.9). Why? To understand, you will need to see your GB from two perspectives.Įntering this range means that leveling your GB is far less expensive when participating in a 1.9 thread. The conventional definition is at the Great Building (GB) levels where the first and second reward place need 0 FP of securing (aka priming, seeding, protecting) by the GB owner for an investor on a 1.9 thread.
