    76k gold and you're going to scavenge?

    You're a certified masochist to the highest degree.

    I am testing to see if it can be done @Killdozer187_
    Definitely not something I would be willing to do more than once. ;)

    @SCBMA There are games where you get an achievement for being the first player to reach the level cap. That would be a nice forum badge!

    I earned 35M so far, enough to upgrade my Council. Now just 20M more for the Workshop needed. The base cost to finish the upgrade is 250 per building and with elapsed time it is 238 gold each.

    44 x 3.11 = 136,84 million XP + "several upgraded weapons" = ~150-160 million XP. Within one day. How the fuck!?! Or did you have like 50 fully upgraded weapons to scrap with XP booster?

    When there's an equipment cap of 300? And what about the tomatoes grind? Everything within one day? Or did you spend real cash for upgrading instant with gold?

    I had 100k in gold. Used almost 40 k in gold to finish building upgrades. The equipment limit is for rare items and below. You can have more than 500 if they are epic or legendary

    100k in gold holy shit! :open_mouth:

    Ah okay, thanks, didn't know that the cap is only valid for 1-3*.

    Oh well, it'll take "a while" until I'll be at lvl26 lol. :sweat_smile:

    I used Governor in the lead with Maggie and Glenn. I completed easy mode scavenger missions. I was tracking the first 35 million and averaged around 2-3 million per hour with steady game play. As soon as you upgrade your training grounds you reach player level 72 and only level 26 gear will drop in the crates.

    I also now have 50+ survivors upgraded to level 26. I had zillions of XP banked in weapons I scrapped wihile the double XP booster was in place.

    My workshop hasn’t finished so I don’t have weapons upgraded but was able to claim my GW and Spring weapons all at base level 26.

    Edit to add: Thank you to the forum community for cheering me on and special thanks to @JayZ because I kinda hijaked his thread.

    Omg that sounds depressing. So basically about 8h of grinding with gas booster for each building... ridiculous :(

    Congrats to those who have put a real shift in to be in a position to have L26 survivors so soon after the update. Particularly @SCBMA for going the hardcore grind route. Awesome stuff 👍🏻
