==================================================
+25 Stamina / Rating : 1/5
------------------------------------------------

upgrade takes effect at level 150.
==================================================

uhh, the gold gain per hour is not a very good upgrade. at higher levels, we consider 10k loose change, as least i do. lol. the bio characters aren't very necessary either, unless you want a huge bio.

This guide is pretty accurate. I agree with me9455521 though because, I'm not sure if it was a joke, but bio characters aren't very....essential to gameplay. Also even I find 10k isn't much money as it usually can't afford me a doubler......Most of your other ratings I'd say are pretty accurate though and I do like this thread. Helps out the newbs, and even higher levels, decided what to use their fallensword points on...Also isn't the xp gain only good at a higher level? Okay I'm done here. Hops this thread helps some people out! :)

Most of these are about right.

Did you know that there are likely over 2000 rouge black holes in our galaxy alone. Each of them can reach very high speeds, even in space terms, are each capable of destroying anything in their path, and are invisible. Well, goodnight!

Well As the title said this thread will help you decide which upgrades you could benefit from most and which you should stay away from.

==================================================
+25 Stamina / Rating : 1/5
------------------------------------------------
Do not use your FSP on this upgrade as you can burn you stamina
easily and fast and also it is the worst upgrade ever made.

This is by far the most used upgrade in the game. This should mean something
==================================================

==================================================
+10 Max Stamina / Rating : 4/5
------------------------------------------------
This upgrade is very important if your plaining on leveling up alot so
the more you buy this upgrade the longer you can hunt and level up
faster.
==================================================

Agree


==================================================
+1% Experience towards next level / Rating : 1/5
---------------------------------------------------------------
This upgrade is not worth spending on unless your in level +300 as it
will only buy you a free 1% XP of your current level.
==================================================

==================================================
+50,000 Gold / Rating 2.5/5
------------------------------------------------
It is best not to use this upgrade as the price of FSP worth more then
that so you should sell your FSP in the "Market" . Buy if your really
desperate for a quick cash then you could use this upgrade for
instant cash.


It takes minutes to sell FSP on the marketplace for almost the double...1/5 IMO
==================================================

==================================================
+25 XP Gain (per hour) / Rating : 4/5
------------------------------------------------
This upgrade is really useful as you get +25 XP (1250 XP if you maxed
this upgrade) per hour. Heres a simple formula to calculate the XP you
get :

XP upgraded + 5 (Default XP) * Your level - 50 / 25 = Your new XP/Hour


The benefit has been greatly improved recently. When maxed, it will get you around one level in 7-8 days. Note this only gets useful after 150 I think - but I agree on the 4/5
==================================================

==================================================
+10 Gold Gain (per hour) / Rating : 1.5/5
------------------------------------------------
This upgrade is the best upgrade to get fast golds per hour. When this
upgrade is maxed you'll get 500 golds per hour and thats really
something.

Let me get this straight - you spend 250 FSP worth 25 million gold to get 500 gold per hour? It would only take what? only 50000 hours to cover the costs.....make it a 0/5
==================================================

==================================================
+1 Stamina Gain (per hour) / Rating : 5/5
---------------------------------------------------
This upgrade will help you get your current stamina refilled quickly. The
maximum you can get is :
50 (Default gain) + 15 (Guild upgrade) + 25 = 90 stamina / hour


Totally 5/5
==================================================

==================================================
+1 Bank Deposits per Day / Rating : 3/5
---------------------------------------------------
This upgrade will allow you to deposit golds more then once a day.
==================================================

or FSP.
==================================================

==================================================
Protect XP / Rating : 2/5
------------------------------------------------
This upgrade will help you lower your XP lose when killed by creature.
The more you buy this upgrade the more you can save your XP when
gotten killed by creature.


You got it wrong. This upgrades blocks your XP at your current value and it cannot go lower (except from bounty kills). This upgrade has specific uses in conjuction with deathwish - but 2/5 is correct
==================================================

==================================================
Reset Skill Points / Rating : 1/5
------------------------------------------------
If you feel you messed up your buff points then use this upgrade to
reset and start all over again. So it wise to do a little research about

==================================================

==================================================
Refill All Bank Deposits / Rating : 2.5/5
------------------------------------------------
If your run out of deposit then buy this upgrade to refill your deposits.


So I should spend 2 million gold just to be able to deposit 1-3 more times the same day? I don't think so - 0/5
==================================================

==================================================
Bounty Tickets (100x) / Rating : 3/5
------------------------------------------------
If your planing on PvPing alot then you should buy plenty of ticket from
this upgrade.
==================================================

Only if you have spare fsp in other words, you have got the more important upgrades at the point you want them
==================================================

==================================================
+10 Max Stamina / Rating : 4/5
------------------------------------------------
This upgrade is very important if your plaining on leveling up alot so
the more you buy this upgrade the longer you can hunt and level up
faster.

=>THE MOST IMPORTANT AT FIRST, 5/5. If you can play once a day upgrade this to cover up your stamina gain for an entire day. Build this one up to your own needs you can play together with stamina gain
==================================================

==================================================
+1% Experience towards next level / Rating : 1/5
---------------------------------------------------------------
This upgrade is not worth spending on unless your in level +300 as it
will only buy you a free 1% XP of your current level.

=>Never use it 0/5

==================================================

==================================================
+50,000 Gold / Rating 1/5
------------------------------------------------
It is best not to use this upgrade as the price of FSP worth more then
that so you should sell your FSP in the "Market" . In Market you can
easily sell FSP for 100k (150k by secure trade in bank to bank).

=> you easily get more 0/5
==================================================

==================================================
+25 XP Gain (per hour) / Rating : 4/5
------------------------------------------------
This upgrade is really useful as you get +25 XP (1250 XP if you maxed

=> one of the important upgrades 5/5

==================================================

==================================================
+10 Gold Gain (per hour) / Rating : 1.5/5
------------------------------------------------
This upgrade is a good upgrade to get fast golds per hour. When this
upgrade is maxed you'll get 500 golds per hour and thats really
something.

Cost is only cover in an insane amount of days => worthless 0/5

==================================================

==================================================
+1 Stamina Gain (per hour) / Rating : 5/5
---------------------------------------------------
This upgrade will help you get your current stamina refilled quickly. The
maximum you can get is :

SECOND most important upgrade
==================================================

==================================================
+1 Bank Deposits per Day / Rating : 3/5
---------------------------------------------------
This upgrade will allow you to deposit golds more then once a day.

IN a guild there are usually better benefits for guilddonations so one deposit a day is enough imo 1/5
==================================================

==================================================
+1 Inventory (Backpack) Slot / Rating : 4/5
----------------------------------------------------
This upgrade is mostly favored buy people with lots of FSP and also
helps you store more and more items in your backpack.

At a given point it's just necessary as you need to change equip alot and monsters become a bit more diverse (need high attack, or high armor or high damage), agree on rating

==================================================

==================================================
+1 Max Allies / Rating : 1/5
------------------------------------------------
Will enable you to add +1 more ally in your profile.

only usefull if you go with assist and add everyone around your lvl in it

------------------------------------------------
Will enable you to add + more enemy in your profile.


no use

==================================================

==================================================
+1 Max Auction / Rating : 3/5
------------------------------------------------
This upgrade is very useful to sell lots of expensive item for quick cash
or FSP.


i'd personally go for more bp instead of auctions, but it depends if you have lot's of items for sale or not
==================================================

==================================================
Protect XP / Rating : 2/5
------------------------------------------------
This upgrades blocks your XP at your current value and it cannot go
lower (except from bounty kills) , the more you buy the more XP you
can bloke.
This upgrade has specific uses in conjuction with deathwish.

=> hmmm, this upgrade is not worth it once bought it remains at the amount you have then, so you can't get lower then it. It's only worth it if you plan on solohunting elite's with deathwish (but is it worth the initial cost of 25 fsp?
==================================================

==================================================
Reset Skill Points / Rating : 1/5
------------------------------------------------
If you feel you messed up your buff points then use this upgrade to
reset and start all over again. So it wise to do a little research about

I see you changed the gold gain rating but not the text; it still says it's a good way to get gold.

In fact it takes over a year to break even (given that 1 FSP can be sold for 100k).


I fixed it.
