So I had to restart from start with new account otherwise I would newer have got SED of around 340k.

Fully f2p, never stayed on stages beyond getting cards, current SED 300k; so it's not that horrible i guess.

[QUOTE=YoshiEnVerde;1578]Well, every level you gain raises you max stamina by 3, plus another 3 if you fill the extra friend slot. That's 6 stamina per level, plus a base of 25 stamina in lvl1.
To have 430 stamina (needed for 10 spins in Stage 9), you need to be above level 68 (Lvl68 = 427sta, Lvl69 = 433sta), which will require a total exp of around 230k... Without factoring triple-exp spins, peronamins, or lvl-ups, for someone like me (Lvl46) that would take about 100 days to reach. And that's playing 24/7. Double that to take account of non-playing times, and then remoe around 10% for lvl-ups and exp-spins, and we get half a year for me to reach that.

Of course, this is one of the places where GHQ shows its fallacies: the 0.75% sta/exp rate turns that half year into 230 days.
However, just factoring in events, I believe we can cut that time down drastically. Right now, I'm sitting on 60 stamina refills from peronamins I collected in PeroColo. If we have one of those every 2 months, that means I might be able to remove up to 25% of that time in 4 or 5 months.
Of course, then, guards event sta/exp rate rears its ugly head in: 33%.

In the end, outside of paying players (some of which are already quite close to the 70s in their levels), I don't think we'll see much people reaching the 400sta line until Christmas this year.[/QUOTE

I am close it level 43 atm. Level 64 with full friend list give 403 stamina. I just need 150.000 Exp for level 64. If I played 24/7 it would take 105 days without items. In really 150 days to get level 64 if I login 4 time per day. 500 Paronamin whould also do then job.
From last event I still have 100 Paroanmin ans 200 half Paronamin so it so not hard for free players to get 400 if we just get 2 more of those events.
