Spend cantina energy - one refresh


*the one refresh/two refresh thing doesn't matter, it's just for personal reference.

How To Calculate This:

Firstly, Cantina energy.

It takes 28 hours to regenerate 140 Cantina energy, so this is the easy one: if your guild activity reset time is 1730 then simply take 4 hours off that - 1330. Then start saving your Cantina energy from that time on the previous day.

Regular energy is more complex due to the free 45 energy that you get three times a day at 1200, 1800 & 2100. These times are different for different players due to daylight savings time not changing the in game time. So this may be +/- 1 hour depending on your  timezone and country.

Regular energy takes six minutes to regenerate one energy. So to get 140 energy that's 14 hours - ten per hour. So to calculate when you need to start saving your energy simply go back 14 hours from your reset time.

But, due to the free 45 energy it may take less time. Each 45 energy that you have to claim during the hoarding period will take 4.5 hours off your hoarding time. So if there is one free 45 energy you will have to hoard for 9.5 hours.

If possible it is best not to claim the 45 free energy until after a reset - if you're lucky enough to have that timed correctly.

    There are 24 different timezones with 24 different guild activity times with two differing times (DST/Not) so there are over a thousand different schedules for everyone around the world, so don't type up your one otherwise this thread will get very messy.

    Note: this is based on 140 energy. The cap at level 80 is 139. If you're only level 60 or something then this will be very inaccurate. It isn't too hard to calculate though, 12 minutes for Cantina, 6 minutes for Regular.

    You can do it!

    I've been trying to figure out how to maximize my contribution without waking up at 1am. Guild leader is in Australia. Really only GW day is feasible or at least practical for me to double up on. And it's the least payout day. Any suggestion there?

    Edit: I'm in US, west coast. Our reset time is 4:30-ish am.

    Well you don't need to have 0 energy at a certain time if that's what you mean, you simply need to reach max energy at reset time. The '0 energy at XX:XX just guarantees that you will reach 140 on the dot.

    Good job! My leader is East Coast US and I'm on West Coast US, so my activities reset at 4:30pm, perfect for when I get off work. I just have a habit of forgetting what day is what.
    Meanwhile, down on the farm....

    Yeah I get that. Just refereeing to when guild activity resets down line up with normal playing hours. At best I can make top 10, worst I'll be in bottom 30

    Nah, I gave that up. Too much work. I don't post as often because I'm trying to wean myself off the game.

    nice work ct! I have a spreadsheet that I use to minimize wasted crystals and should be doable completely f2p as long as players place in the top 5 daily.

    I'll send a snippet of it when I'm available

  • @cosmicturtle333 - Great stuff! Thanks for putting this together.

    Would you be open to moving this to Guilds (or maybe Guides) so we can sticky it there?

    I already copy and pasted in guides last night.

    But feel free to move that one to guilds if you think it would be better there.

  • Okay. Let's leave it here for a bit for visibility, and then we can move it to Guilds once it starts falling off the front page.

    Thanks.
  • I can't seem to figure out how to post it on my phone, but someone on reddit had a nice jpeg that outlines this without your specific time addition. It might also help. But not to detract from your post.
    You guys had a riot? On account o' me? My very own riot?
  • This one?

    here's one that i made for our guild (adapted to general use). if your guild leader is in your time zone, then this is accurate. depending on time zones, you may have to shift forward or back several hours.
    • the colored cells indicate energy use toward daily guild activities
    • the white cells with colored text indicate saving energy for the next day's guild activity
    • the black cells indicate non-energy guild activities / free energy use
    • this is assuming all 50 guild members will be contributing the absolute minimum and EVENLY to reach tier 7 rewards every day
    • this is broken down by the hour
    rdIS2pL.png

    as you can see, if everyone is in your guild is able to place top 10 in arena every day, tier 7 is completely doable as 100% f2p. YMMV. let me know if i made any mistakes or if i can improve readability (not my strong suit...i just provide the data and simple analysis because i'm a ****)

    side note: if you purchase a crystal sub, you only need to place in the top 50 every day in arena

  • I mean I have fun with this game and all but if I get to this point where I'm making schedules and setting timers and letting it control my life, then that's when I know I need to set my phone down and find something better to do in real life.

    I didn't make it for myself. I don't even open the app daily anymore.

    I made it for F2P players who want to get the best possible rewards they can.

    You're welcome. Nice necro by the way.
