Hiring a Minion (in Contests)


Jason Bourne July 5 2005 6:06 PM EDT

ok, i figured id make this a contest, because everyone looks at these things.

first i have some questions:

1) what is the rate of exp to cbd that i get from hiring a minion, like is it for every 3$ you spend you get 1 exp on your new minion? or what?

2) does the rate change for the higher one and the lower one? (ex. do i get 3$ per 1 exp with the expensive one, and only 5$ per exp for the cheaper one?)

once you answer both of those questions correctly ( i dont know the answers so thats why i need some help) answer this next question:

when should i hire my next minion?

right now the expensive one costs nearly 4 mill and the cheaper on 1.6 mill. assuming i get 1 exp for every 3$, thats 1.3 mill exp and 530k exp respectively. im looking to pour all of this into DM, so it will mean a 100k DM on the expensive one, and only a 50k DM on the smaller one.

if i wait and buy the bigger one, my stats with the other 2 minions will be higher, but i will be out 2.5 mill more. if i hire now, the 2 minions wont grow as fast, but i will save 2.5 million to use on armor and a corn for the new guy.

if you can answer all of these questions to my liking, i dunno, ill give you like 10k or something. i really just want the first two answered :D

For the expensive one its every 3 cb2 is 1 xp.

For the cheap one its 5 cb2 for 1 xp.

$3 per EXP is correct. Most English speaking nations tend to place the dollar sign before the amount, by the way. ;)

To decide between the cheap and expensive options, calculate how much experience you'll be getting as a percentage of your total EXP. Then it becomes a question of whether the extra x% PR growth is worth the cash.

this is what im trying to figure out, because ranger is telling me 3 and 5 for the cheap one, and others have said 3 is correct for both. which is the real one?

well, ranger did you hire on a cheap version, or the expensive one?
have you ever hired on the cheap one?
