Covert Clay Red Star. 4	Posted - 2013.03.24 07:17:00 - [1] - Quote What's the best time to activate it to get the most amount of SP before you hit cap? And can you use 3 day active boosters to your advantage if you can cap out I'm 3 days?
Leither Yiltron KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 418	Posted - 2013.03.24 07:18:00 - [2] - Quote To your second question: Yes. To your first: At the beginning of a week.
XeroTheBigBoss Pink Fluffy Bounty Hunterz 61	Posted - 2013.03.24 10:08:00 - [3] - Quote I started mine on a Thurs so when I am nearly done I have a full day and a half to get it done. Than if I decide to get another one I can just do the rest of the week in soft cap rather than renewing my boost just for mostly soft cap.
Covert Clay Red Star. 4	Posted - 2013.03.24 16:23:00 - [4] - Quote So if I wanted to make the best use out of my aurum, shouldn't I just buy a 3 day active booster and apply it on Wednesday and hit the cap in 3 days (because I can)? Isn't it better than buying a 7 day passive or 7 day active (if you wanted to conserve aurum).
Covert Clay Red Star. 4	Posted - 2013.03.24 16:24:00 - [5] - Quote Because isn't the max amount of SP you can get from a active booster before hitting cap around 185,000 or something?

Isn't it better than buying a 7 day passive or 7 day active (if you wanted to conserve aurum). Well what kind of playtime do you have? If you're free to play 7 days a week, then a 7 day booster is more beneficial because you can activate it on a Sunday and get two SP caps out of it, while also getting some extra soft cap + one more day if you're that active on DUST. To give you an example, you would activate it on the 24th, cap out, the cap would reset on Wednesday, hit your cap before the 31st, and then wait till the 7th of next month to use your next 7 day booster.

Well I play about 3 to 4 hours maybe even 5 hours a day if I haven't hit cap. Pretty much every day. So I'm pretty active. It seems like you get a steady 185,000 (about) for a passive 7 day booster. How much could I get off of a 7 day active booster if I'm as active as I am?
Rasatsu Much Crying Old Experts 552	Posted - 2013.03.24 18:09:00 - [9] - Quote The booster isn't an integer number of weeks as it overflows by 2 days on 4 weeks, so the optimal time depends a lot on how quickly you're able to cap your SP. Basically, you you can cap the SP from friday-wednesday, then activate on friday, if you can cap from saturday-wednesday, then activate on saturday, etc.

Are there any drawbacks to this strategy? I mean, I'm saving like 3,500 aurum anyways.

Yes if you grind hard you can get away with 3 day boosters, I do the two weeks with one 7day, but I'll be trying the 3 day method soon.

So how much SP do you get extra if you use a 7 day passive booster?

Chojine Dentetsu Academy Inferno 4	Posted - 2013.03.29 21:55:00 - [16] - Quote Yes, a lot do, including myself :) I always have both active, currently have 40+ days active and 20 passive left :P.
