Nice guide, I would have liked this when I was just starting out

With the xp gain though, I've never seen anything about relating to equipment. It should be your hourly xp gain + hourly xp gain again multiplied your level divided by 25

For example if you have maxed xp gain (25x50) of 1250, and your level is 500, you should get 1250 + 1250 x 20 (500/25 being 20) which would give 26250 per hour

Ill try to keep this as constructive and as non-opinionated as I can.

[quote name="Kitteh666"]+25 current Stamina :: Costs 1 FSP :: No limit | I don't recommend you use this. It's expensive. Besides, it take only 1 hour to regenerate much more stamina than you get with 1 FSP.[/quote] I think some power levelers will disagree here. Especially the ones that sell buffs over stamina cost


[quote name="Kitteh666"]+1% XP towards next level :: Costs 2 FSP :: No limit | I don't recommend this upgrade either. It only increases 1% XP towards your level. Besides, the +25 stamina is much efficient than 1% XP.
2 FSPs get you 50 stamina. You could typically raise more XP than 2 FSP for 1% XP towards next level.[/quote]Not to mention the 1% increases bought this way do not count towards guild xp gained.

+10 Gold Gain per Hour :: Costs 5 FSP :: Max 50 upgrades | May be a good upgrade. It increases the amount of Gold printed per hour by 10. If you max out the upgrade, 505 gold will be printed per hour. Which means you will be able to make 12,120 gold per day or 84,840 gold per week. Useful if you don't log in often.
Cost to max upgrade: 250 FSPs[/quote]Hardly ever a good upgrade. The marketplace over long term has done nothing but rise. People have done the math out, it would take years to get your investment back. If marketplace inflation stays at a steady increase, you may never get the gold back to buy back the fsp. And if you dont log in often, this would substantially increase the risk of people pvping you,since the gold adds to your pocket, not bank.

[quote name="Kitteh666"]+1 Stamina Gain per Hour :: Costs 25 FSP :: Max 25 upgrades | Not good unless you purchase in multiplies. It increases the amount of stamina you will gain per hour. If you max out this upgrade, you will regain 75 Stamina per hour. If Endurance Shrine is at level 3, it will push the Stamina Gain to 90. Epic items usually raise Stamina Gain. If you equip the items as explained in this thread, you will regain a whopping 108 Stamina per hour!
Cost to max upgrade: 625 FSPs[/quote]Its good even if you dont purchase it in multiples. 1 upgrade=24 more stamina a day. Well worth it each time.


[quote name="Kitteh666"]+1 Inventory Slot :: Costs 15 FSP :: Max 1,000 upgrades | A very useful upgrade indeed. It lets you carry more items. You start with 3 slots. The first few upgrades are most useful. I recommend you upgrade 5 times, up to 8 inventory slot. If you max out this upgrade, you will have a whopping 1,003 inventory slots! These upgrades are useful for Epic quests.
Cost to max upgrade: 15,000 FSPs (This is the most FSP required to max out this upgrade!)[/quote]I personally would suggest 9. That way, you could keep your own offline set while being able to grab a hunting set or arena set from the guild to use.

[quote name="Kitteh666"]+1 Max Allies :: Costs 5 FSP :: Max 115 upgrades | Useful if you want to be popular. If you max out the upgrade, you will be able to have up to 120 friends. You start with 5 friends slot.
Cost to max upgrade: 575 FSPs[/quote]Most important upgrade in the game in my opinion This is a social game. Shallow popularity is not why I upgrade it though.

[quote name="Kitteh666"]+1 Max Enemies :: Costs 5 FSP :: Max 115 upgrades | Same reason as +1 max allies upgrade, except that if you have a lot of players you don't like, this is the upgrade for you. Like the friends list, you start with 5 and can be upgraded to 120.
Cost to max upgrade: 575 FSPs[/quote] Most use this for quick links of people who are not friends, but are useful to have quick access to such as buffers,SE hunters, or Chest buyers. Some who have maxed allies use it as an extension of that. If you really want to use it for your enemies that is your choice, but you are only giving them free advertisement.

Protect XP :: Costs 25 FSP :: No Limit | Only use it if you reach a high level and if players attack you often. Sadly, it does not protect you from XP loss by being killed via a bounty.[/quote]
Do not forget this works VS creatures to. Very important in that case in certain scenarios.



[quote name="Kitteh666"]
Player Reset :: Costs 150 FSP :: No Limit | Resets all of your level-up points. The cost will raise each time you reset, although eventually, after you use this a certain amount of times, the FSP cost will stop raising.[/quote]I do not believe the cost ever stops raising. May I ask what you base this info on? You may also want to mention that the cost increase is 25 FSP each time.

[quote name="Kitteh666"]+1 Marketplace Listing :: Costs 10 FSP :: Max 5 Upgrades | Particularly useful if you want to put different gold cost but I don't recommend this upgrade.
Cost to max upgrade: 50 FSPs (This is the lowest amount of FSP needed to max a particular upgrade.)[/quote]This is one of the most useful if You want to control the marketplace and know how. Im going to leave out details here :twisted:

[quote name="Kitteh666"]
+1 Combat Sets :: Costs 5 FSP :: Max 49 Upgrades | Only useful if you have a lot of sets you want to use, depend on the situations. You start with only 1 combat set, but you can upgrade to have a total of 50 Combat Sets.
Cost to max upgrade: 245 FSPs[/quote]This is a pvp and arena player must. You should also note that its not very useful if you rely on frequently recalled gear, since any gear reachable deletes it from the set, even if you recall it back.

[quote name="Kitteh666"]
+1 Combat Move Sets :: Costs 5 FSP :: Max 18 Upgrades | Only useful if you have a lot of combat moves and not sure which to use. You start with a limit of 2 and can be upgraded to a maximum of 20.
Cost to max upgrade: 90 FSPs[/quote]Currently, you can only have 3 of each move. There is 12 moves total, meaning 36. Thats alot of combos possible in 10 slots. This is another arena must, especially when dealing with tounreys for great prizes that fill fast.

Other then that, and the part where you say avoid the +25 stamina, I would say well done.

+1% XP towards next level :: Costs 2 FSP :: No limit | I don't recommend this upgrade either. It only increases 1% XP towards your level. Besides, the +25 stamina is much efficient than 1% XP.

I disagree with a couple points on this but the one highlighted above is the most twisted. The is an EXCELLENT one to max out once you have 5+ days worth of stamina or if you sell buffs. I have to wait a full week to max out stamina. Buring that time I can make a full level with this upgrade. If you sell buffs this is a +1000. This isn't good right away but as you level, you will want to consider this. I was maxed out by level 250 but has made itself more usefull as I level. It is a long term upgrade and pays out in the long term. You would know that is you actually leveled.

Sorry Kay, but I believe your confusing "+1% XP towards next level" with "+25 XP Gain per Hour"

Yes, yes I am. :oops:

This thread deserves to be stickied. This thread will contribute to the guide list.

Erm, no offense, but you really think one that says

+25 current Stamina :: Costs 1 FSP :: No limit | I don't recommend you use this.

will be stickied by the cows? I mean, thats likely where most the donations they get go to, if not most, a very large portion. . . .

The guide is full of tons of good info like the total cost and exact info of the effects of the upgrade, surprising good for someone of your level and amount of game play, but its also ripe with opinions that are not related to fact Thats not to mention that one statement you made based on speculation that Reg just mentioned, I mean, if you had first hand experience and could prove the upgrade has a cap, then it would be fine, but if not and someone read this planning on resetting their character often it could be detrimental to their future of FS if there was no cap

I hope rebtex don't downrate this thread. This thread deserves to be stickied. This thread will contribute to the guide list.

I only downrate the bad threads. This one is actually has some potential. Thought I would never say this but not bad Kitteh. Also I really am not a bad guy. You are the only one here that has ever gotten on my bad side. Just don't screw this thread up!

Dang it Kitteh. I told you not to screw it up.

[rebtex]

You forgot some epics. The best one isn't always the best to post as anyone using this guide is probably inexperienced and low leveled.
