when i was in habitat bender told me to get that up. i get over 260 dev points with a full train using the 45$ trainer, and btw u cant get 39pts of rep in 3 days with rank 1 politics lol.

takes time but im unlocking a part of the game some others dont, i intend to unlock the best gym trainer

Ush said the Guru trainer is almost as good as what he gets with Arnold or Gym days. It was one of the two.

How do you unlock the trainer? and new classes would be nice as long as not too high of energy was required for them when you finished thme they helped a lot and they werent a lot of money

[filthymick]

u unlock better trainers by increasing ur reputaion. idk wats after the $20 trainer or how much rep is required tho. also, the advanced classes dont use energy at all. they work the same as skills but the use action points.

Trainers are okay, i used the 45$ one for a while, but unless you donate regularly I think the money spent on them is better spent on credits for upping your endurance which gives you better trains and access to better weapons.

This. $45 per EP = a lot of credits. Even at current prices.

May take a while to equal out, but the cash is always best spent on endurance.

Assuming you're in the Arcology house, or max for your level. There is probably an optimal split between trainer and endurance. I.e. to get the 21% increase in trains the Advanced Pro would give you, you would need to spend $15mil in credits, assuming you have 1000 happiness and 20 endurance.

How long would it take you to use 15 mil though? I used 30,000 energy last month... that is 1.35 mil if you used the $45 trainer each time.

It would take 11 months to recoup that. And since most of us here have 1000+ days, 11 months isn't much

[fngMalvos]

To recoup that cost yes, but what is the break even point for dev points accumulated? You get the 21% increase right away with the trainer and a sliding scale as you increase your endurance over the ~year. Sure if you have the 15 mil up front go for it.

If you give me your data (pm if you want) on energy trained and cash spent on trainer for a month I could try to figure out the best use of cash.
