Hello all, I have been playing this game since launch about a week ago and I am obsessed! Many of you can tell by my leaderboard ranking and my machine god religion. I'll start by showing my homepage;
At the time of writing my current rank is #1 and my parts generated per hour is 12.12!
The image below is a screenshot of the exchange;
After you factor in my claim bonus I am currently making 357.8 part from scavenging alone, with part trading for $0.916 USD Each!! And at the bottom of the screenshot you can see Ancient Shards for $0.66 each!
My most recent 8 hour claim;
So now lets break all of this down, you have your abilities on the left of the screen, starting with level. By default you gain 0.1xp/hour, which is dreadfully slow, but the bar right below called reputation is how you can speed that process up! You can see how mine says 6.2xp/hr (which is the cap for level 21) Level lets your PvP energy recharge faster and increases your shard drop chance, there is more utility for levels planned in future updates.
Next is Algorithm, the dominant factor in your scavenge rate, increasing this stat will generate you more parts per hour. But be careful, if you don't defend this you will get robbed!
Speaking of getting robbed, Power is the next stat, which you can use to go rob other people!
Your fortification helps protect you from getting robbed!
Golem Charging Station is the less dominant part of the scavenge rate calculation, and is very expensive to level up, I made a simple Excel calculator that shows me the best part to upgrade cost analysis. Charging station is likely to have some really insane power sometime down the line, but for now I am leveling it with Algorithm based on best yield per upgrade cost.
Now we have faith, which is pretty neat. Firstly it gives you higher shard drop chances on your collects, which is awesome! Secondly it is used in PvP, both offensively and defensively the greater the difference in faith ratio between you and the other player determines how much part you can win or lose in a battle.
Lastly we have banked, you can see I have 500 in there, which increases the maximum amount of part you can carry before you need to claim, if I had zero in there my scavenge rate would fill to max in about four hours, and the other four hours I'll be earning nothing! Early on this stat isn't super important if you're an active player, but you will need to plan to use this at some point in later game.
With today it brought us a fun community element which is Guilds 0.5!
Below are the three guilds founded by me and the very active discord community, our main is The Iron Faith, a golem religious coalition that will go out and "purify" all the non believers by looting their part, but most of the time we loot Yixn, the false machine god! Currently we are the strongest group of baddies out there!
The Scrapyard Order is another piece of our religious following, with the purpose of fighting off the rebellion group against The Iron Faith!
Then we have the Backwood Savages, our brutal rouge group set out to bring our following all the parts we need to build our churches and pillars!
We have room for more savages, just contact me in the discord channel and I will be happy to accommodate your stay! That's all I have to share for now, hope you got some information through my ramblings. Can't wait to keep burning parts, because I'm obsessed!
