But seriously, I've thought long and hard about f2p and p2w and how it can be fair for both. In short, it can't. F2P will never catch up to p2w or maybe even p2p. And as much as I'd like to say, look they got to make their money somehow, I can't fully say that because if you completely favor p2w, the f2p will start to fade away and stop playing. And this will leave p2w's alone and cause servers to die (*cough*). The events do need to be better. We need to get rid of BBQ, 10K/ 20K/ 30K coins, and maybe even dango. Ninjas should become available to f2p over time (which oasis has been doing pretty good with). And shops. Good god I can't wait for something other than the group shop to be updated. Most importantly to me Bring mood scrolls back to group lucky wheel.

Things are improving and some of the power imbalance is not due to oasis but the server itself. I have heard many people say that there is one power house group on their server that always wins (my server included). If the group always wins, they get more contributions, coins, and coupons, which allows them to level up their group at a faster pace. So my suggestion is talk it out. I know A LOT of the top groups do not want to put their #1 position on the line so it's probably going to be near impossible to fix that. And I know how 3 p2w can take down a mostly f2p with some p2p in it.

Some of these problems can only be fixed by cooperation with other groups on your server. Sorry for the rambling.

  • FYI, there is a 55.5k FTP on S12 (as a joke, we call him ptw, but we KNOW he is ftp)
    I am a 54.5K ftp, I probably can reach 55k if I used my max power team(and also equip my injure runes) but why would I ever do that? That'd just get me harder match making on masuri (I think)
    That said, that's my power on ranking, my real teams range from 52.5k to 54.5k, depending on what team/purpose they server. I most commonly pvp with a 52.5k


    I have also never plundered, despite that (you might guess from my power) that it would be easy to do. I have principles (which is also why while I have dropped hundreds, probably more like 1-2k on "useless" cosmetics in other games, I have not spent a cent on a ptw game). In any case, as a result, I'm effectively 10k coupon or so down at this point in time, and that could have been quite a bit of power.
    I'm not sure how other servers are, more active/older server have their advantages but we have ours (we only have a few ptw and they are not super ptw, ergo we have a chance in fox/sage etc). So I'm not sure if our power are the highest ftp out there. In any case, 56-57k max power is perfectly possible, IMO, 60k would be a stretch, 65k is impossible. (due to diminishing returns, it's REALLY hard to go higher after reaching a certain point)

    I am hanging on to the tail of S2-S12 Space timed, roughly hovering around 90-110. I'll probably make into round 2 and get slaughtered but whatever.

I'm only around 48K. Tips on getting more power please? I've been saving purification runes to try and get orange initiative (but to no avail).

  • Well, the simple answer is "do everything", no matter how bad they are, never miss a fox, sage, masuri, GNW. Since the start of server, I have missed less than 5 of each. In fact, you should cover every nook and cranny, make sure you get the 2 sealed ninja a day too!
    And to get the most out of everything, you should have a special team for fox and one for coin trial.

    The next bit is resource management. Don't waste coupons on ninjas or most event in general. cave rebate and lucky board is all you should ever spend on(also on fox, but only if you can get more EXTRA coupon as a result. I spend ~12 per fox to get 1st or 2nd place instead of 4-10, which is 20-35 more coupon income). Also be patient with the resources you have, never do summon pull except for monthly event and when you have 100 scrolls during the rebate event to get max value. Seal pull... waiting for 300 would be hard, but in the very least, do 100 during rebate, don't use them at any other time. Same goes for cave key, event only (thou that one, oddly enough, you can do however many pull you want during event, 50 actually have best return rate)
    For refine, personally I only refine once every 2 month now, because I need to build up a respectable amount of medium and advanced to go multiple levels at a time. Simply speaking, if you don't have enough medium to guarantee a 4 to 7 in one go, you shouldn't be refining.
    For purify, instead of focusing on them on you best refined gear and wasting tons on rerolling already decent ones, just roll them on your worst purified gear in general. Then when refine time comes around, you can refine your highest rolls. gears of refine at 7 or below really aren't worth constant rerolls more than any other gear, only ones that have taken up the precious adv refines, 8 or above, deserve special treatment (for ftp, it's usually only 1-3 of those, so not a big deal)
    For coins, seeing as the biggest usage is 8 gates, you need to be smart about the order in which you upgrade them. Yes, there is a VERY specific order that it should go in to get the most stat per coin invested. There are tables you c*e here for that:
    http://forum.naruto.oasgames.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=8384&extra=&page=1
    The guides is not completely correct, see my reply on post #41. But it does help with knowing which to upgrade first.

    But in the end, how you do things only matter in the short term, what really makes a difference is dedication, never missing any "source of income" and you can grow steadily.
Oh. My. God. I forgot about the exchange shop o-o I haven't done 8 inner gates in forever
