Unless you already have high endurance, i spend about 60k a day on trainers.

Yes, but every dev point in endu increases trains..... to paraphrase zen....

A person with 16549 total endu dev points (1 point away from 21 endu) gets better trains than the person with 14345 total endu dev points (exactly 20 endu).

$10 per EP, even just 500 EP a day going towards trains is 5k a day, 150k a month. Equivalent of donator status. In a year, that is enough money for 6k credits @ 300 each.

I think the 6k creds / 1500 endu dev points are worth more than the 10% increase.

chool or by using career points (which will be discussed later). Reputation is an attribute that allows you access to a better gym trainer. Gym trainers are expensive administrators that can be used in the gym, and when you can not afford a new house, are good to use for a boost to your gym training. If you have the option of using a $5 gym trainer and have 7 energy to train, it will cost you $35 to use the trainer fully. The benefits are not very significant with the low trainer and a small house, but increase your reputation to see how beneficial they can be!

But she didn't mention how much better the trains would be. I would assume someone with that high End would have at least 1000 happiness, so the gains you would see are only about 4%, compare that to the lvl4 trainer which is 18% according to the wiki.

I agree that over time for a younger player it probably is best to put money into End rather than a gym trainer but more for the equipment requirements later on than for any minimal gains seen in gym trains.

The other way to look at it is that endurance is an investment, while trainers are a quick burn. The boost from endurance is smaller than that from trainers for the same amount of cash, but endurance boost affects all your trains to eternity, while trainers only affect what you're immediately training.

Don't encourage the retard, I dropped 6K of creds into endurance 2 days ago, I'm seeing about 2.5% increas in my trains.

He is speaking to all those like him who have 12 endurance and a rural estate. I was merely

Yeah, I tried to work out the break even point of putting all your money into endurance daily vs into a trainer but there were too many variables. It looked to be under a year though you would make up the initial higher trains with the trainer.

it's definitely a balance but not worth my time on a game to find the optimal curve. I use the $10 trainer. Costs me about $900,000 a month but I still keep $1.5 million in profit so i figure it is good enough of a balance
