Best way to use Krogmo Coin Boosters?
Thu, 02/02/2012 - 02:01
I got the Battle Pack for my birthday last November and still have the Boosters in my inventory…now there's still a week of winter vacation left, and I have essentially nothing to do now. So…
All at once (LD for one day) or one at a time (5 consecutive days)?

Also
Of the various game modes random team BN yields the highest number of coins per unit time. (As long as you can get games).

There is but one way to go.
Grab snacks and drinks to last you 24 hours, sit down on your computer, make mental preparations, and blow them all off at once.

Just depends how much you can
Just depends how much you can play. If you're lookin' at only a set number of hours in a day, then all at once is wasteful.
If you're askin' what's the outright best though, then all at once is by far the most efficient. No matter how you play out any other way, 5 boosters on 5 days still requires you spamming pvp for 5 days, which can get really exhausting, and expensive in entry costs.

Better yet
You could also invite friends over to play for you when you get tired of it. You may not win, but you'd still get coins and a break from the game.
Note: I'm not sure if this violates the TOS or not, but if they're using your computer at your house while you're there showing them the game.....not sure how that could violate the TOS. Besides, free advertising for the game to your friends. ;)
Double Note: I am in no way encouraging violating the TOS if the above does violate the TOS. (Wink Wink).....hmm I got something in my eye.

@Blitzwingoo
I am under the impression that any one character created in any one MMO is supposed to be used solely by its creator. I haven't double-checked to confirm this for Spiral Knights, but I'm willing to bet that it is a violation; so stay safe - don't let anyone else on. It is ultimately going to be you who is taking the hit for it.

@Shidara
I think there's a distinction between occasional demoing/playing and for the purpose of constant farming....or there should be one if it's not in there. Again, I don't know if this does violate the TOS or not. It is curious why there would be alt characters in the game though as I can't think of a reason why there would be a need for alts when CE & ME are linked and if nobody else is allowed to use your account.
Note: I am the only person who's ever used my account.

Lockdown marathon
I suggest picking a day, clearing your schedule, activating all of your Krogmo Coin Boosters at once, and playing Lockdown until your fingers fly off, you fall over from hunger, and the Krogmo Coin Boosters expire.

I'm another person suggesting
I'm another person suggesting all at once. Also, if you aren't enjoying yourself...tough it out for as long as possible.

hmm...
All at once. You could ask your brother/sister or irl friends to replace you, they can just play blast network and being suck at it without making other people raging at you.

Buy a sixith and use em all
Buy a sixith and use em all at once. I coincidentally did it on daylight savings time so I got an extra hour of play time. That was a good day, got 1,000 coins, the Toxic Needle line, and made about 100k cr. These things can happen when you make up to 24 coins a game in LD.

Wat
... up to 24 coins in a game in LD.
Oh god how? With 6 from Boosters + 2 from winning + 3 from bribing (at least that's the highest I've seen) it's just 11 coins.

The 2 and 3 coins from bribing are actually x2 and x3 coin multipliers. I think the 1 coin is just +1.

False.
Nope. No multipliers whatsoever. It's just that amount of extra coins, and I'm sure of it from the many times I've seen them from bribe.

Orly? Next time you win get 3
Orly? Next time you win after getting 3 from bribes, check and see that you get 6 coins instead of 5.

I have done this, but with 6
I have done this, but with 6 boosters, I managed to get 750 coins in a 24 hour period, by the end of it was starting to go bomb network crazy. As others have said, its best to use them all at the same time, using less will means more entry fees and EVEN WORSE you have to play the game for more time (your know what I mean after 24 hours), I would personally buy a 6th one. To get your maximum. BN is the best as the games are shorter so you can get more per hour.
NOTE! recipes cannot be sold as they are bound to you. If your doing it for sales, mod cals or rocks ONLY.

I did the marathon with using
I did the marathon with using all 5. I lasted 21 hours and earned between 6 and 10 koins a game, making 1055 koins.

1. Make a gear for either 1st
1. Make a gear for either 1st or 2nd tier. 3rd tier is just Pay to Win with toothpicks. You got a few neurotic players who have godly UVs for 1st or 2nd tier, but they're few and far between compared to Tier three.
2. Buy one more booster from boost. You can just take a break for a day so it only costs you 200CE with the mist offsetting.
3. Have enough crowns. You aren't going to win all your matches, and you have to win 3 matches to offset one loss. so stock up on crowns. 20,000-40,000 is a good amount.
4. Make sure you got nothing to do for that day. You got 24 hours, make the most out of it.
5. Just play and enjoy yourself. If you play to win all the time, you're going to get bored fast. Change it up. Try for pacifist runs where you only cap. Use only snowballs in frostbite, screw with enemy plays with recon.
6. Most important, you don't need to play to win. You're automatically getting 7 coins for a match, it might seem like a dicking over your teammates, but you're rolling in coins win or lose. Just do your own thing. I'm not saying just sit in spawn and sleep, but you can.
Personally... all at once, saves a lot of time. LD and blast network get super stale after a couple hours of play.
