Warrior General Games

Let's do the math...

OPTION 1:
After shopping (sometimes feverishly), you find a +1 Tight Spiral item. You spend money on it and invest 48 bonus tokens to bring the item to +4 Tight Spiral.

OPTION 2:
Instead of wasting shopping tokens, you keep stockpiling bonus tokens. Using the 48 tokens, divided by 4, equals 12 SP's (and 12 games with a +5 stat bonus). Using the 12 SP's, you put +1 in PP, +1 in Tight Spiral, another +1 in PP, another +1 in Tight Spiral, +2 in PP, +2 in Tight Spiral, another +2 in Tight Spiral, and another +2 in PP.

END RESULT:
Option 1 equals +4 Tight Spiral. Option 2 equals +4 in Pocket Presence AND +4 in Tight Spiral, PLUS 12 games worth of SP bonuses PLUS more time intense training and less time wasted on shopping.

So I guess my question is, with the exception of Field Gen, what's the point of getting all worked up over a Tight Spiral piece? An exception might be if it has pass quality on it and or a good stat bonus too, but good luck finding that. Tight Spiral is only second up the skill tree, so it seems like a waste to plunge tokens into imho.

Option 3:

Find Pass Quality +5% Vision +3
Upgrade to Pass Quality +21%, and get 15 SP's worth of vision for 64 bonus tokens.
pump tight Spiral in your SA tree and have tons of pass quality.

But I know what you mean. It is frustrating wasting your training bonus, rolling gear over and over
and having no guarantee of a good piece. I guess that's what keeps it interesting and unpredictable.

It can be really frustrating rolling, but I think it's worth it in the end because of the EQ points you get toward a stat as well, especially if you find a +3 Vision or Throwing piece. Not to mention you can always sell it back if you find a better piece and get your tokens back.

+Pass Quality is highly undervalued.

5% Pass Quality is better than a FG piece

good then. I have two of them upgraded to +30% at lvl 40.

i find that hard to believe. mine is only 10% at lvl 31.

anyway here are some aeq i found which ive found really good

Superior Black Gloves
+5 throwing, Pass distance +10%

Superior Eye Black
+1 confidence, +2 throwing, Pass quality +6% <---- still doing that up

pass distance is pretty useless

MY +2confidence/+1 tight spiral AEQ is worth atleast 30 SPs now that i have it upgraded 8 times), why would I have wanted to use these BPs on cashing in for 16SP again?

+2confidence = 4SP each at their level, so thats +8sp
+5TS = skill naturally at 6, so bonus is worth 18sp up to 10, and an additional point above the max which we'll say another 5SP

thats 31sp

My two pieces equal +36% with lvl 48 upgrades. One started at +3% so it could be +38% had it been a better roll.

what do you guys say about pass quality +3%? My thinking is, if it's going to have +3% it should have some useful attributes to it, otherwise keep looking.

and its the first time I rolled the +3% pass quality so I think it's pretty common
