2 Weeks have passed by and here we are again on my #terracore update. Same as previous post, my focus on today is still on DEFENSE, I am going to increase my DEFENSE and ENGINEERING. But before we go to that part, I want to share on how I see the NFT market in Terracore Game.
Let's check our market list right now, this is what we see:
The cheapest items on sale right now are those five, with Kill Droid #11778 as the cheapest tagged at 6 $HIVE. However I do not agree with this sorting, because I believe what we buy is not only an NFT but what is more important is that how much value it has.
Most of the time Value and Price do not go linear. the cheapest doesn't have the lowest value. I think all players want to get NFT with good value, not only cheap. So I believe we should see those valued based on their $FLUX price, as you can get $FLUX by burning them. So the real value should be represented by $FLUX not by $HIVE.
So this part is a tricky one, because most new players do not realize this one. Well, old players or people who have played for more than 6 months usually already notice this. Change the sort from $HIVE to FLUX/ALL STATS then we will see which ones are the real cheap ones.
You see, the order has changed now. the cheapest by price, Kill Droid X-1 #11778, is actually not the best value one. By Hive-wise it is the cheapest but it doesn't have the best value. Value-wise, the best cheapest one is Kevlar Vest #11754.
I hope by sharing this, some people can revise their NFT purchase tactics, so they can get better Value NFT in the future.
THE NEEDS
The other thing we need to count in on deciding our NFT, is the needs on our account. Lets get back to the cheapest list, from those 6 NFT(s), if I have to choose a NFT from that list, I will pick these two:
The first one is of course the cheapest and the best value one, that Kevlar Vest. The reason is simple, I want to build a defensive type and that NFT is a defensive one too.
The second option is a bit controversial, it is the Water Shuttle #11782, because it can support defensive built. It gives good amount of dogde, 0,93 , and It is very hard to improve Dodge later. However the controversial one is this NFT attributes is Damage +19,7. Yes although Damage is for offense or raiding, not for defense, the number is extremely good, almost on max number +20. With this NFT my account would not have to think about Damage anymore, because Damage is not priority.
So Why Don't I buy them? That's the question, isn't it? Well the answer is simple, I do not need them.
20 $HIVE right now has equal value to 88,711 $SCRAP and with that amount, 88k $SCRAP, I can upgrade this account and get a lot of attributes higher than buying those NFT.
This is the reason why NFT market is not in demand or having low activities, because only big boys and big gals interested with NFT. Pleb like me prefer to ugprade accounts rather than buying NFT.
Ok that's my insight today, hope it can help you in this game.
MY UPGRADES
My plan is about increasing my Engineering point and some defense, however I made a mistake by clicking Damage upgrades last week. So yeah, I lost some $SCRAP there. And this is what I do for the upgrades:
| STATS | Before | After | Cost in SCRAP | Reasons and Goal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stash Size | 1.000 | 1.000 | 0 | Currently I have no new plan on this one |
| Favor | 1.000 | 1,000 | 0 | same as stash, right now I have no new plan on this one |
| Engineering | 21 | 22 | 441 | Let's push a point up this time, having more $SCRAP is always a good thing to get |
| Damage | 310 | 320 | 961 | This upgrade was made last week due to accident, misclicking |
| Defense | 350 | 370 | 1.225+1,296 | To maintain my defensive build, at any condition I must keep upgrading it. This time I manage to improve 2 point of defense, and let's hope we could defend more $SCRAP from the robbers |
I just made 3.923 $SCRAP burn to make these upgrade. 1 Engineering, 1 Damage and 2 Defense, and this is how I look right now:
Now my account here is more like what a defense type build should be, the Defense is leading 5 points above Damage or offense. I still have 2.575 $SCRAP and I could do an upgrade again... but I prefer to see it first how this build will do for the next week.
Do you have any comment? please do not hesitate to give some feedback to me.
NEWBIE TIPS ON BUILT:
1. Focus on your built. There is no right or wrong, or the best build for this game. Everything depends on how you play the game, how often you are playing Terracore, preference in mining over attacking and many more.
2. Always have your defense level higher than your engineering level. Some said it should be at least 3 level higher, but trust me... there is no absolute formula in this game, so how many level it should be higher, all depends on how you play this game
3. Do not do upgrade frenzy... always plan well, save some for next week upgrades so you won't get penalized from being idle without upgrade.
THE RUMBLE
I am still losing more $SCRAP than getting more from robbing other players. However this rob and getting robbed have improved a lot, I lost 52% and Win 47% which gives me 5% gap. Let check last month statistic below:
Last month I lost more with around 13% gap, twice bigger than the current period. So I can say proudly that my defense has been working well recently, I lose less $SCRAP than what I used to before.
I still have Rosewalks as my biggest robber. It seems that my previous top robbers Cryptounicorn420 and PSNCHZ could not rob me again, I am getting harder to rob for those two.
I need to get some $SCRAP faster, because this Rosewalks still able to rob me easily due to that account is way bigger than me, having more Damage and my Defense. Let's hope next week I have the $SCRAP needed to build better war against her robs.
NEWBIE TIPS ON BUILT:
1. Winning the battles are great however getting more $SCRAP from battles doen't make you get more scrap in overall. There are players who lose battles badly but in daily they are making tonnes of $SCRAPS due to high engineering level. So all be back on what your goal is, winning the brawls or minting the SCRAP.
ok thats all for my 16th Terracore update. See you on battlefield, and don't give me me any opportunity to rob your $SCRAP!
