Ascention help for Tauri (Q&A)

[~Josh~]

Here are some questions I found scatterd across this Tauri/Tollan forum and thought I'd make it easier in a Q&A for Tauri trying to ascend

1) Is the current G&R range rank 1-1740?

2) Is it true that every race ascends differently?

3) How long does it take to ascend once in G&R range?

4) What happens after you click the link?

5) What are Ascended blessings?

6) What advantages do Tollan have over Tauri?

If I missed any questions please post them.


NOTE: This is for Tauri so please don't move it.

"6) What advantages do Tollan have over Tauri?"


You will lose your race bonus after your first ascension... each ascension grants you a 5% bonus to all stats. This is true for every race, but the stonger weapons alone make ascending worth it in my opinion.

thank you to the posters hope it helps the tauri... new question

what is the easiest way to get into G&R, attack because tauri bonus? or work on the others?

dont forget to post anything that you want to know or tips on ascention.

[damien snpr]

It depends... some people say fast ascension is best and some take their time.

Just try to distribute evenly and don't put too much into killable postions. I always kept my strike rather low for raiding. Anti-covert is a decent choice for a quick rise in rank if you have the units to commit to it. Uh, just don't forget to un-train them should you decide to go farming. heh

Also, don't neglect the MS... it will do wonders with enough time devoted to it.

...oh and just for a tip, try to keep 10bil in defense for every 1bil naq out.... or log in a lot.

What all do you get to keep when ascending?
Miners/Lifers? Planets? Mothership? Supers? Tech Levels? Covert/AntiCovert Levels?

Can you tell us the cost for a person's first ascension?

[~Josh~]

good question i think u keep planets definately milatary peops are gone so if they arent NID untrain them... and Bump

[damien snpr]

You keep Lifers, the MS, and planets... that's it.... although what you don't need to actually ascend you could send to someone else to hold until you're done... should you have SS.

..as for the cost, it just depends... but your first one won't be that bad. After the first you'll get a good grasp on what to do next time.

[~Josh~]

hope that helped...

new question- what are the benifits of being a Tollan? how much stronger are the weapons?

[damien snpr]

Actually, all the benefits for ascended races are the same. Just comes down to roleplay/player preference when you start ascending.

...and to be honest, I'm not sure where the percentage is on the strength of the weapons... I just know they're stonger.

personally i found as a tauri trying to hit g&r the way to go was a huge strike to make up for a measly defense, it worked too

[~Josh~]

Ok next

Do you get extra MT every week and or extra ATs a turn after ascention?

[damien snpr]

uhhh... no
