I am going to do the gym gains book (20%).  Thinking of using 396 redcow.  396 redcow gives me 15,048E.  20 percent of that is 3009e.  That is like just over two days of training, refill and xanax.  I really want to run redcow for the whole thing.  396 red cow is worth 867m, according to some script.  867m for two days gains.  

 

Can't do it.

 

Ugh.  

Anomalousman [2534256]

To be fair, it only gets you two days of gains from the book itself. The cans also give you their gains. So that 867m gets you 12 days.

 

However, to remove your FOMO... :)

 

867m is also just short of 2 SEs. Which will give you more than 12 days gains as soon as you get a stat to 4b. I'm just guessing, but that will happen this year for you?  If you wait till 5b, you'll save 14 days training, and would forever have higher stat than if you'd used the Red Cow. Plus, that booster would be freed up, and maybe you could invest that money usefully over that time?

I’m pausing all my training books and for that matter almost all books because the once a lifetime thing has no real value at present.

 

 Waiting for a better upgrade or use case. May be the training books shine when you reach a level where SE training is not quite useful anymore than training.

 

 But at any time period it’s 20% more training means 6 days per month extra training. You can decide what you want to do with those six days. This game is played by years not days. I would say in a year an average guy would lose xan and over flow worth of 1-2 months. 

the scale is huge.

Honestly I think the training books shine early on.

 

Early on, using a training book can double/triple your total stats. (Admittedly you might be doubling that stat in a month even without it, but getting an extra 30-50m one month (assuming no cans use, that's about what you get from one of those books) is much more meaningful at 100m in a stat than it is at 1b in that stat).

 

If you use them REALLY early on, you can also use candy to boost their impact very cheaply, while later on, getting that same kind of boost requires those expensive cans.

 

If you get to the point where you are SEing one or more stats you've also almost certainly given up on any kind of ratio that gives you more than one special gym, so doing books before that lets you use more gym books with special gyms.

i'm just building my networth to be able to SE my battle stats at 4 billion each

 

i'm on my way to that point everyday

 

i just need to be patient 

Anomalousman [2534256]

Oh I’m going to open so many presents!

 

Plus, in terms of rewards for patience, this will be my first time using TV JP. A year’s worth all spent at Halloween. :)
