AfterWorld Survival Forum

Scenario:

A new player decides they will buy to win and Uber rifle & defense.
They choose to take the main 7 rifle skills and 9 avoidance skills to level 60.
Level 60 is 497,950 skill points (or 498 100% SNI chips).

Rifle requires 7 * 498 = 3,486 full SNI chips
Defense requires 9 * 498 = 4,482 full SNI chips

The player does not need SAU to enable their Uberness ... just chip in and they are setup.

The player then decides that they want to sell some of these skills.
However, you can only chip out unblocked skills - so the player will now have to acquire  9,958,320 SAU to unlock a single level 60 skill.   

To unblock all level 60 blocked skills, the player will need to acquire 159,333,120 SAU.

+100500
Rifle+defence = NOT full Uber. Need to get high healh level.
That means need to buy Strength skill too.

WOW .. seeing those numbers I'm glad i took my time ( after some headrubbing from more experienced players).
As always you are a fountain of knowledge.

The natural skilling method (skill gain by item use) is much more preferable to buying skills, though it takes MUCH longer. On the other hand, natural skilling also yields tons of additional skills, the SAU to continue unblocking those skills (if managed properly), extra SAU gain through globals, and probably costs less AWD in the long run too, especially if you craft your own items.

I think Jane is trying to show that if someone did want to become an uber overnight, it would cost an Incredible amount.

Yip - that was my point.
I even worked out what it would cost at Afterworld Alpha pricing ... it is an 'Incredible amount' as you have stated


My other point was that the SAU requirement prevents players from creating an account, buying skills then performing various 'profit actions' with the intent of converting both the 'profit' and skills  back to RL money at cost to Dedicated Logic's bank account.


Skilll points and SAU are generated by decay of items that originally generated revenue for Dedicated Logic.
SAU guarantees that any revenue returned to the player does not drag the Dedicated Logic account into a loss.
Dedicated Logic have (again) thought beyond the obvious
