Currently, under the new Alpha rules, there are two schools of thought. Which one do you belong to?
1) High Score Big Hair.
High base scores or high scores earned, such as 3+16 or 2+17, some participate in trading competitions to offset losses, but sometimes it can be very tragic. If caught in a squeeze, not only can losses not be covered, but one also has to double the losses.
If not participating in trading competitions, grinding 16 points incurs 3.8u more wear per day than 15 points, resulting in a total wear of 3.8×15=57 wear in one cycle; grinding 17 points incurs 3.8×3=11.4u more wear per day than 15 points, resulting in a total wear of 11.4×15=171u in one cycle.
Therefore, to grind 16 or 17 points, one must pick big hair to eat; without 100u to eat, it is also a loss (compared to 15 points).
2) Low Score Leftover Flow.
The highest cost-performance ratio is grinding 2+15 points, with a daily wear of 3.8u, resulting in a total wear of 3.8×15=57u in one cycle. The total score is 15×17=255 points, and 255-180=75. If only eating leftovers, one can consume 5-6 leftovers in one cycle, assuming an average of 40u per leftover, then the cycle profit would be 200-240u, minus wear equals 143-183u.
Which one are you?
