Hm, I see. I'd say I should run every gate on T1, but I wonder what other people do.
Tier 2 entrance fee
I'd say I should run every gate on T1
Don't bother. The 200cr fee for going straight to T2 is earned back very quickly. Unless you do like ten runs a day, the amount of money returned by going through T1 first is just not worth it.
Yeah, once you are in 4* & 5* gear T1 is a waste of time and money that I would gladly pay 200 or 500 cr to avoid.
If you have friends or guildies who are near the end of the T1, you can always try to join their party. Ideally, you'd get T2 free access by paying 10 energies for it. Other people do things like have two computer and run an alt to depth 7 (I think...) and then inviting their main, but I'm usually too lazy for either method. If you're careful, the 200 crowns fee (and the T3 fee, once you get there) can be easily made in one or two levels.
sometimes when you know you're gonna be running a certain gate, like the RJ or the IMF or FSC gate a lot, you can run the previous tier for that gate when it is first created, this way you get about a week of skipping the fee
for tier 2 you'd save about 1400cr if you ran it every day.
and for tier 3 fsc it'd be ofcourse 3500cr if you did it once a day.
but as others have said by the time you're up to fsc, 500cr isn't that much
i've been down to tier 2 lots of times and now it doesn't charge me 200 cr..... strange how it hasn't happened to anybody else or did it?
But only for gates that are worth it and i click join a party to get ahead
I even join a friend if he's on the level before the Manor :P
1. Yes.
2. No
