Due to the fact it was never explained to me how energy products worked and there is very little info on the subject I wanted to share with you my experiences and ideas on how to use energy to increase value for fighting and working.
What you will find in this post is info on what is energy, how is it used, what items give energy, how much energy can I get, and what price is energy beneficial. It takes a lot of practice to use energy products to benefit you. I have wasted tons trying different combos and seeing how my earnings increased. I then decided to do a bit of math and determine what to buy, and how to make money with it.
What is energy you ask? Well energy is one of the stats that contribute to fighting and productivity. When used in fighting it increases your bonus by the total amount of energy you have. When you use it in working it only increases your productivity by .33 for every point gained. That means how you decide to use it will determine the profit you make. Just having energy is not enough.
Now you are asking yourself how should I use energy? Well it is very debatable on what to do first. With my experience and a massive amount of calculations I have come to the conclusion of how it should be used to best benefit you. You should acquire all of your energy at one set time (if possible) because you can use it to benefit you more. If you are on day 3 and about to earn a work bonus you should use all of your energy for work and the remainder for fights. If you are not on day 3 when you get work bonus you should use all of your energy for fights and use the remainder for work.
I will explain what products give you energy and how they work. Milk and newspapers are usually your number one resource for energy. The reason for milk and newspapers are because they has a low production cost, which makes it cheaper and more beneficial. Other products that give you energy include food, wine, cheese, clothing, and housing.
How much energy can you get? Well energy maxes out at 100 but its usually not beneficial to get to 100 unless you are fighting in the arena. I will get to arena fights at a later time because the start up cost and risk is high. The max recommended energy (my calculations) for work and fights is around 50.76. Anything past this may or may not be cost effective depending on the cost of items in your country.
Now on to the number crunching portion that you have been waiting for. It depends a lot on your country bonuses, what products are for sale, and what their price is. Most places will have cheap milk, newspapers, and food to start off with.
Below is calculations based on energy and bonuses. The main thing to consider is your country's fight bonus.
Instant Energy Items
I made a price list for each dollar of country bonus.
1.00 fight bonus makes 1 point of energy worth .03 max
This means if your countries fight bonus is 8.00 you should not spend more than 1.20 on high quality milk because it gives 5 energy. Calculation works like this.
.03x8*5=1.2
The .03 is my reference, 8 is the amount of my country's fight bonus, and 5 is the number of energy I get from high quality milk. This can be translated into any item. Newspapers for example.
.03*8*.3=.072
That means newspapers are only beneficial at .072 for a country with 8 dollars in bonus. You can use this calculation on any instant energy item if you fight and work right afterwards. If you are buying from a global market please make sure to consider the cost in your country's currency.
Instant energy items include
Milk, food, wine, cheese, coffee, newspapers. (food is one item you should buy 1 and use other products at the time food will be consumed.
Non-Instant Energy Items
Non instant energy items include clothes and housing. Housing last for 30 days and total cost should be multiplied by 3.
These are a bit more tricky to price and use. I priced mine at fighting 10 fights and working each day without missing any. This means you need to be active each day for it to be profitable at below pricing.
1.00 in fight bonus makes each energy point worth not more than 0.50
This means if your countries fight bonus is 8.00 you should not spend
more than 20.00 on high quality quality because it gives 5 energy.
Calculation works like this.
.50*8*5=20
The .50 is my reference, 8 is the amount of my country's
fight bonus, and 5 is the number of energy I get from high quality clothing.
I see people asking why is this worth more than 10 times of what instant energy products are? Well it will help keep your energy up every day, it last for 10 days, you also get more of a benefit from working and work bonuses. All of that had to be calculated in.
Overview
Use energy products they are important to your success. The values listed above are max prices to pay for something. If it is cheaper you can make more. Above values have a 30% tax calculated into them so if you pay less or more than 30% it could make you more or less money. Please be aware all of the numbers are estimated on your country's bonuses. If they can not pay a bonus then don't buy products. You should always buy products with instant energy before you buy products with non-instant energy as they give slightly less money.
