I would like to know if it's feasible to get away with a three day active booster and start it on Monday night, and hit the cap for two weeks. That would give you until Thursday to hit the cap for both weeks. The SP reset is on Wednesday at six AM eastern so you would potentially have time to cap out by deactivation time on Thursday evening. Anyone have any thoughts? Sorry if you think this is off topic.
Without knowing exactly how the SP system and cap works, it's impossible to tell. If having an Active booster on an account involves some sort of flagging system that unlocks an extra 95k or so SP before getting that 1k-1.5k per match, then theoretically you could grind earlier in the week to hit the 190k unboosted and then use a 1 day and grind the remaining 95k. Someone should really try that.
I use a 3-day booster at the beginning of the week and make sure I hit the cap, which seems like the safest way to ensure you're getting your full SP and also being as efficient as possible with AUR (unless you think you can hit the cap in one day every week). |

Yeah, Monday night would give you a day and a half to try to cap. I was thinking the same thing about a "flagging system" though, Tokyo bad I'm a nine to fiver 
There are two problems I see with trying to use one 3-day booster to cover two weekly bonuses.
1. The first we already mentioned. Because of the unknown nature of the booster, you may end up playing early in the week and hitting the cap unboosted, only to find out that when you finally do activate one, you're stuck at 1.5k per match max despite thinking you were unlocking another 95k.
2. If you're trying to hit two full weekly caps in the span of 3 days, then you're going to burn out on the game, most likely.
The only solutions I can give you is to either use the 3-day booster at the very beginning every week, like I do.
Or you can try a 7-day booster that overlaps between two weeks (instead of a 3-day overlap). It would cost the same as doing the 3-day every individual week, plus you get a day more in one of the weeks as a grace period. If you avoid playing the character you're trying this on for the first few days before you activate the booster, then you can bypass any worry about gained SP beforehand somehow cutting into the boosted total. Antwerp with 3 days instead of 1 and a half, you don't need to kill yourself trying to cap. |
