Thread: Fap CEO

Anyone else figure out what may be the time required to reach the max prize on the new event without rubies? I figured about 14.6 days at it stands, but am only at level 2 right now and need to see how more things change. Hope it ain't 14.6 days, but that's what I figure based on levels and per use pleasure hits.

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:

1. 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.
2. The five "actions" are identical from a practical viewpoint, you spend 10 energy to gain 1 point of pleasure.
3. You gain 1 energy per minute for free, if you have the capacity to hold it.
4. Every minute spent with your battery full is free energy that you lost, you can't go back in time to claim it.
5. 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.
6. 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!

So thanks for the math. But if you miss a lot of those logins due to school or sleep, is it still possible to complete stage 14 (by then, you will have everything important, right?)
And how many hours per day do you need to login to get to 14? I could only reach like 12 Hours per day maximum

You will be able to get lvl 14 anyway in the event more than 12 days playing 12 hours a day on week-days and more on week-ends .... and again you don't need to be online always just get online after the energy refills to 90-100% of your maximum . As your parameter level up you get more energy and more time to refill so it won't matter much once you touch lvl 5 or beyond..

So yes you will get there and again you will face two tournaments so you will have rubies in case you don't get to lvl 14 by that time and use them to refill to get there.

assuming you play 12 hrs on week days and 16 hrs on week ends your total play hour = 12 * 9 + 16 * 4 =108 + 64 = 172 hrs
Use rubies to refill once at the end you will hit lvl 14 as to hit lvl 14 you need 175 hrs of event.

That seems a bit alarmist, to me. Your math confirmed mine, one week minimum to reach level 14. It's a 2 week event, twice as much time as the minimum. People CAN sleep and still hit L14, they can almost sleep for 12 hours a day and still get the last thread before the event ends.

Minor point of disagreement: I don't see how it matters what day or event level you're at when you spend gems on energy, 1 gem always buys 1 energy. You don't get a better rate for waiting.

If there was a fixed price to fill the battery I would agree with you.

I have a max of 120 energy and it only takes 100 rubies to refill my energy, so the 1 ruby = 1 energy doesnt seem to be right.

that being said, the best time to use rubies would still be on the last day since this is the case.

It's 1 ruby/energy but the price is capped at 100 rubies, so waiting for the end is the smart move as you'll get more energy back with 100 rubies.

Maybe buying refill during the event is worth it to increase your cap faster if you cant log in too often and for the night. But I don't know if that's the case and I really don't want to do the maths.

Cool! Glad you caught my bad assumption, I hadn't really examined the recharge closely. Anonymous's claim about 1to1 fit with what was on my screen at the time, so I bought into it without thinking. Whoops. Now that I've checked it more closely I agree with you.

With a fixed (max) price on recharges, it should be trivial to reach L14 by the last day.

If you are able to use at least 12 hours of free energy per day (12 hours of energy, not 12 hours playtime) you'll probably get to L14 without having to spend gems. Below that you'll need gems, but the higher your level (i.e. the bigger your battery) the fewer gems you'll have to spend.

In all honesty, I think this is the best event they've come up with. I've had several where I earned every reward in the first few days, and then had nothing left to win for the remaining 75% of the event.

The Alexis event gives everyone a reason to play the entire time. Obsessive players can't possibly win everything early without spending gems, they couldn't miss even an hour's worth of energy and still complete the last level for free. Normal players can get the unique rewards pretty easily, the increasing battery capacity helps a lot, but they won't get as many multiplier increases past L14. Very casual players will have to spend gems if they want all of the threads, which is as it should be. Verra nice!
