You'll need more than 1e300, but not by a lot. Point is, don't get too eager to spend yourself out of e300 territory and accidentally set yourself back days of effort (or more) to get back up there.
The wiki is down and it's been a while since I did my run, but as I recall you'll need about 4e300 when all is said and done. There are a few decos that have a noticeable impact on that bottom line because it's so huge. You might need a little more or less than I did. I don't think there's any possibility that you'd need more than 15e300, even without anything other than computer deco (to enable stocks).
To protect me from myself in the final minutes of my run, I built up past 4e300 and then sank 25% of my funds into the coffee market before I started maxing out the girls. A couple of extra hours trading after committing 500 hours to it is a small insurance premium.
So unlike Kelly or Ditas Events, it's pointless to click on Alexis, right?
Also, there are 3 animations mentioned in the patch notes...does anyone know about them?
And there are these odd green things you get every level as well...what is their exaxt use?
Lastly, there are only 2 dialogues available if I'm not mistaken. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Tnx in advance...this event really doesn't seem to be too great at first. Atleast not for me :/
Does energy only refill if you're online during this event?
Does buying you the Femdom Alexis Outfit give you ANY advantage in the Event?
I expect that you can easily complete the event without spending gems on it, if you play often enough not to miss out on any of the event's free fuel (the fuel is "energy" in the Alexis event). That's been my experience with every other event, aside from GW#2.
That said, I have the same question since I had to drop 700 on the last GW to get all the prizes.
I'll show my work, lemme know if you see a flaw in my logic...
Observations:
- It looks like every level in the Alexis event requires Level*10 pleasure points to move up. Ten pleasure for level 1, twenty for level 2, and so forth.
- The five "actions" are identical from a practical viewpoint, you spend 10 energy to gain 1 point of pleasure.
- You gain 1 energy per minute for free, if you have the capacity to hold it.
- Every minute spent with your battery full is free energy that you lost, you can't go back in time to claim it.
- The reward for a majority of the levels includes an upgrade to your battery capacity, so you can go longer between check-ins without missing out on free energy.
- To my thinking, the last significant level is 14 because it's the final one that shows a thread for Alexis in its rewards. Everything after that is multiplier upgrades (nice, but not big deal if you miss them) and nearly useless resources.
So, assuming level 14 as the important target, let's figure out how much pleasure we need to get there.
10+20+30+40+50+60+70+80+90+100+110+120+130+140 = 1050
Now we translate that to energy.
1050 * 10 = 10500
We can think of 1 energy as 1 minute, so dividing by 60 gives us the minimum number of hours to hit level 14.
10500 / 60 = 175
That's still a big number, so let's figure it in days.
175 / 24 = 7.3
There we go. Just over one week minimum to hit level 14, and the event lasts for two weeks. You will not have to spend gems to get the unique rewards from the event, if you play often enough.
The energy for levels 15-20 also totals up to 10500. With what I've seen thus far you won't get to level 20 without spending some gems, but the weekly tournament might have a prize that helps.
So Wolf did the math and came out with 7.3 days, or 175 total hours, to reach level 14 and get all of Alexis' messages and animations.
To not waste energy you must spend it before it caps, which varies by level.
Level: Time: (to fill battery) Hours to Reach Level (from previous level)
0 1hr 40min n/a
1 1hr 50min 1hr 40min
2 2hr 3hr 20min
3,4 2hr 10min 5hr (Level 3) 6hr 40min (Level 4)
5 2hr 30min 8hr 20min
6 2hr 50min 10hr
7 3hr 10min 11hr 40min
8,9 3hr 30min 13hr 20min (Level 8) 15hr (Level 9)
10 3hr 50min 16hr 40min
11,12 4hr 10min 18hr 20min (Level 11) 20hr (Level 12)
13 4hr 30min 21hr 40min
14 Irrelevant 23hr 20min
Total Time: 175hr ~ 7.3 Days if spending energy ASAP
You get the same amount of pleasure points no matter what level, 1 every 10 minutes (albeit you need 20 for kissing). The difference is that you can go longer without having to log in to spend energy.
The issue I see is that this means that if you aren't spending energy as soon as you can (ex. go to sleep) then you are in danger of not reaching level 14.
Tips:
-Complete as many levels as possible in the first few days while they can be done multiple times a day.
-Weekend Tournaments might have event rewards of some sort. There will be 2 tournaments during this event. If no event items, no big deal, keep
grinding and leveling up. Save rubies if you feel you might need to spend them for energy, because energy refills are 1 ruby per energy, but it only lets
you fill the battery, no partial assists.
-By the 7 day mark (halfway through event) you should be on Pleasure Level 9, and past halfway through PL 10. Otherwise you're falling behind.
-REGARDING RUBIES: If you think you might need to spend rubies on energy, save up for the last day. One ruby will get you one energy, but you can only spend it to fill battery completely. This means if your battery is empty, and you're on PL 13, then it is 270 rubies to fill it completely, not 100!
