acension points

For newcomers to ask questions to the other users... this section will usually answer most questions... requesting resources (naq/UUs/ATs) is not to be done here...

whoever told you that is a liar.

you get G&R points based on rank and nothing else. anyone else who tells you otherwise is a liar and a player showing bad sportsmanship IMO.

basically just get your stats up (your attack being the last one to raise as fatrming and raiding will get real expensive otherwise) and get inot the top 1000. then wait and wait for 1001 points and there you go! ready to ascend.

though i suggest getting FSS before you ascend.


BTW untrained mercs are worthless they do nothing and only cost you naq. though they can be a good way to store naq if you dont have enough room in your bank. but you can do that with weapons also.

Umm... the person told me this is my previous commander... Actually I've got over 1001 g&r already.

What I'm talking about is acension points. It's the point u get by converting all of ur stats, weapsons, army, covert lv, etc. What u loose once u've acensed...

I'm saving my naq for recovery, just want to figured out the cheapest way to max acension points. :p

hmmmm. untrained mercs? never heard that. ive heard of using naq though. since im currently getting points to ascend im not entirely sure but i would think that naq would do it and not UM or UM would be a lot more popular than they are now which is to say they arent popular at all.

i was told naq.

I believe that UP is the best way to get the most APP. UM do give some but not much. Im not sure what were allowed to say here so Ill stop at that.

If you get hold of the right people you can pick up a lot of UM in a day.

Even then it wouldnt do anything for your APP.

I think it is prohibited to post the actual formulas for calculating APP based on various resources but untrained mercs have a slightly higher APP return than raw naq. Most people choose to send their naq away before ascension but those that keep the naq in their account would be better off having that naq in UM.

Covert levels are useful to your account while you're building but actually have a lower return on investment than raw naq. So, if you were near ascension and had 200 billion naq to spend on a convert level bump, you'd be better off keeping the raw naq in your account when you ascend and skipping the upgrade.

Raw UP is always the best (and most expensive) way to boost APP. Keep in mind that the more you pour into raw up, the more UU you will have to give up when you ascend.

if you have less than around 500 bil to invest into up then untrained mercs is the best way to get apps. pure naq is second, up is third.
if you can invest more than that then up is best way

ok i have a question....it seems like in order for UM to pay off you need to have millions of them.

for a first time ascension would 10-15 mil in UM be a good amount?
