If you ascend with a MT remaining it will ALWAYS use it and you will not then get the free one.

So best bet always your all your MT's first before ascending in any given week


Wait... WHAT? You lose all market turns if you ascend :S? As in you used all of them?
No, but if you ascend it uses an MT when it gives you the PPT so if you say have only used two, it uses your third, but if you have used all 3, it just counts the PPT as a 4th.

People, this has been said many times before, the max PPT is 14 days.

Before PPT 1 below you add your other PPT from that previous week which will be 08:59 Saturday - 08:59 Monday. And obviously you don't have to do it at 1 minute to market reset, you have a 24 hour window over Friday/Saturday in which to pick your start time so that PPT 4 gets you over into the second week.

Save a ppt from Week 1 and use it 1 minute before market reset

PPT 1 08:59 Monday - 08:59 Wednesday (this ppt will be from previous week)
PPT 2 08:59 Wednesday - 08:59 Friday (This is 1st PPT from week 2 )
PPT 3 08:59 Friday - 08:59 Sunday (This is 2nd PPT from week 2)
PPT 4 08:59 Sunday - 08:59 Tuesday (This PPT is free if you ascend 08:59 Sunday)
PPT 5 08:59 Tuesday - 08:59 Thursday (Market reset 1st PPT)
PPT 6 08:59 Thursday - 08:59 Sunday (2nd PPT from this week)

Note 08:59 assumes the minute before market resets for you so adjust acordingly


Hope that makes sense

Re: Things you lose and things you don't...Ascending

works if you save both MT's and start your PPT on a Friday nets you the same result.

PPT 1 Friday - Sunday
PPT 2 Sunday - Tuesday

PPT 3 Tuesday - Thursday
PPT 4 Thursday - Saturday

Ascend Free PPT Saturday - Monday

PPT 6 Monday - Wednesday
PPT 7 Wednesday - Friday

In fact, you can be on PPT for 14 days AND 6 hours and 46 minutes.

now how does that work?

I know the 1st one can go for 2 days and 29 minutes but then the next one can go for 2 days and 1 minute. So you can't stack em that way.

So the way I see it if you can time it exactly right then you can string together a 14 day, 3.5 hours max PPT because each can go for 2 days 29 minutes 59 sec max and you spend 5 or so seconds off PPT over each turn change every 48.5 hours.

Feel free to poke holes in that as I'm not to sure of it...

Re: Things you lose and things you don't...Ascending

Yea, 3.5 hours is more accurate. You are 7 times on PPT not 14, what I used for math. dunno why tho.
