Money Talks LTQ Jobs and Rewards List

[reras]

Tx bigmoney! Again! And welcome back

[BigMoney]

Thanks for the info BM!
And a word to GREE; really? First an elite mode, now an elite elite mode? Just a tad much, don't ya think?

I'm reserving judgment until I see how much energy/xp Part 3 costs. It can't be worse than last LTQ (Hit and Run) though, which cost 167k energy for the Elite mode alone (that's pretty much like two Elite modes anyway).

I will say though that I don't like the idea of having an unspecified number of LTQ 'parts'-- if I wasn't screenshotting the goals, I would have totally missed the reward screen mentioning "A great start to our three part plan to get the money rolling in!" No one ever reads those goal screens.

The only other argument against not subdividing the Elite mode further is that it is nice having a steady progression of energy increases per level-- e.g. if Elite 13/30 costs 1000 energy, I know Elite 14 will be even more (e.g. 1100-1200 energy, etc), whereas there is no way to tell during Part 2 of the LTQ how much energy Part 3 will cost (or even how many parts there will be). I'd rather have energy costs proceed like 700, 800, 900, 1000, 2000 instead of 350, 1150, 600, 900, 1000, 1400. Etc.

Think of it as gree trying to mix it up. It isnt completely bad imo.

Maybe we should be looking at Parts 1 & 2 combined as a Normal Mode (25 levels) and Part 3 as an Elite Mode (30 levels)?

Part 1:
21,760 energy
5,866 job XP + 1,100 reward XP = 6,966 xp total
2619 atk / 2315 def raw stats

Part 2:
56,515 energy
18,173 job XP + 5,400 reward XP = 23,573 xp total
6198 atk / 5609 def raw stats

Combined view as a single Normal Mode:
78,275 energy
30,539 xp total
8,817 atk / 7,924 def raw stats

When compared with Normal Mode of previous LTQs:

Hit and Run:
32,238 energy
14,075 xp total
7,594 atk / 6,507 def raw stats

Annual Crime Spree:
50,223 energy
14,670 xp + 3703 reward xp = 18,373 xp total
8,147 atk / 7,605 def raw stats

Beat The Rap:
45,214 energy
13,583 xp + 4,225 reward XP = 17,808 xp total
5,719 atk / 5,452 def raw stats

Soviet Shuffle:
28,382 energy
10,465 xp
6,793 atk / 6,907 def raw stats

When you put it that way, SOGO, it looks like the quality of the LTQs has been decreasing.


I added pictures of the rewards for Parts 1 & 2. I'm currently on Part 3 - 21/30. It's getting expensive, even though I still have maps prehit, I'm going to run out soon and it's going to be monstrous. I think I will post the jobs I have so far for Part 3. #20 was 3k energy, #21 is over 4k energy, and it's getting steeper each time.

[Munch on it]

Me think gre no care of player game only syndicate

That why boss and ltq go to syndicate now

Me no think we get more boss only for syndicate

Me no understand

Me have headache

C'mon mate, lift your game. These posts aren't going to write themselves you know!

[MattThomas08]

Thanks BM. You're doing an awesome job on these and I know how time consuming it is.

[BigMoney]

C'mon mate, lift your game. These posts aren't going to write themselves you know!

Add the jobs for Part 3: 1-24 just for you, sweet cheeks.

Hi BM, any appetite in posting your raw spreadsheet data? I'd like to chart stat:xp per level for us camper types.

[sunfire]

How about part 3 pictures? Nice job ..thkx

You mean like this?

[The Reaper]

I see SOGO already posted something about this, but here is an interesting way to look at the "XP Return". Obviously, like most LTQs, it's not very camper friendly. Note that these ratios are the running XP total returns for the running A/D of the rewards.




And comparing all the LTQs that I have complete data for:

[Fredfreddy]

thanks guys, that's exactly what I mean, except I'd love the raw data if you're willing to share (and if you've got it from historical events as well, that would be great)

These events, LTQs in general, are always camper friendly for the first X levels. My personal preference is ~> 3:1 stat to XP so for this one I'd stop at L4. The LTQ before this one I recall you could get all the way to around L15 before the ratio deteriorated (beyond my personal threshold at least)
