Hello, and Good day everyone. Here I am back again with my #Terracore Update. This time I manage to make this one ontime within around 7 days since my last update. I try to do this thing for a one sole reason for that, I am chasing top 400 leaderboard right now, and at the time I am writing this post, I am on rank 446
I am not a bad player, but in term of idle game, rarely login and upgrade define how bad I am. For more than a year, I only made 19 times of upgrades. I started recording my first upgrade on 10 August 2023 here: @dewabrat/the-dream-of-oceana-bandit--my-terracore-journal-1-10-august-2023
So I guess it's about time I push a bit more so I can get into top 400.
It's not about the rewards pool. That's the main point, I am not chasing reward pool, and it is for top 200 players only. Unless I spend hundreds of $HIVE into this account, I have a good shot into top 100. So why do I have this idea of pushing my rank up above as soon as possible?
Maintaining Growth Is My Main Goal Now. We have a pinalty system, which if we do not active for 5 days, our Scrap Mining Rate starts to get reduction, and it continues until 0. This game is comparative, so even you are bigger than yourself few weeks ago, it doesn't mean you get better. Your targets, which are smaller players, some might have outgrown you, so in fact you are getting less from you should have got before.
And due to that comparative factor, if you are on the bottom list of active players, such as me right now although I am not at the bottom part, you get some feeling that your targets are getting harder to get. You still have targets, but they are not the fatso you have been looking for or maybe you feel that you can't see any of your fatso freelunches anymore.
So yeah, I am trying to catch up all the lost time I have due to innactivity, by getting into top 400 as soon as possible. That's all I want to say, now its time for upgrades.
MY UPGRADES
It's been exactly 7 days from my last upgrade, so this is not a fresh from the oven one which is 5 days, but I think this is prompt enough for me to do upgrades. I have no plan to change my build,
and I think a defensive one like this account is good enough at the moment. So I do for the upgrades:
| STATS | Before | After | Cost in SCRAP | Reasons and Goal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stash Size | 2.000 | 2.000 | 0 | I am quite happy with this level, so I see no necessity to upgrade this |
| Favor | 1.000 | 1,000 | 0 | right now I have no new plan on this one |
| Engineering | 24 | 24 | 0 | Lets skip this Engineering upgrade this time, I prefer to develop basic mechanism first |
| Damage | 340 | 350 | 1.156 | We need to push Damage over time, I don't want to have myself trapped in no good target to plunder at all. |
| Defense | 420 | 440 | 1.764+1.849 | Same as Damage, I need to push my defense up harder than anything else. |
I just made 4.769 $SCRAP burn to make these upgrade. 2 Defense and 1 Damage which this upgrade change my stats like these:
I think this is good for this round, I believe I could get more next week, but let's see that later. Do you have any comment? please do not hesitate to give some feedback to me.
NEWBIE TIPS ON BUILT:
1. Focus on your built. There is no right or wrong, or the best build for this game. Everything depends on how you play the game, how often you are playing Terracore, preference in mining over attacking and many more.
2. Always have your defense level higher than your engineering level. Some said it should be at least 3 level higher, but trust me... there is no absolute formula in this game, so how many level it should be higher, all depends on how you play this game
3. Do not do upgrade frenzy... always plan well, save some for next week upgrades so you won't get penalized from being idle without upgrade.
THE RUMBLE
My Battle logs shows me that I have been losing $SCRAP from the rumble. More people are robbing me and I lose more than I have robbed from others. What can I say? This is part of reason why I choose to upgrade my #terracore account a.s.a.p, because I feel my preys one by one gone no where. Maybe they got inactive, so I need to move up finding a new hunting zone.
Recently there is an Ass named Justopinion who kept coming to rob my stash. that DD1100 dude is on top of the list because of his past activities week ago, he is no longer a threat to me. so I think next round I should upgrade 20 defense point again so that ass Justopinion could not rob me again.
Let say goodbye to old robbers : Dd1100 Rosewalks Cryptounicorn420 and PSNCHZ , they are no longer able to rob me, so I have made them listed into my forced-to-retire list.
Now with Rosewalks gone, I wonder who will be the next asshole who on the top list?
NEWBIE TIPS ON BUILT:
1. Winning the battles are great however getting more $SCRAP from battles doen't make you get more scrap in overall. There are players who lose battles badly but in daily they are making tonnes of $SCRAPS due to high engineering level. So all be back on what your goal is, winning the brawls or minting the SCRAP.
ok thats all for my 19th Terracore update. See you on battlefield, and don't give me me any opportunity to rob your $SCRAP!
