EXPLAINED PROCEEDINGS

~Section A~
 
A1. LOGING IN:

Despite being quite obvious, you should keep loging everyday at least once, as the game developers keep releasing sudden events, special day gifts and sudden sales with discounts on your boughts.

A2. FILL YOUR HONOR GUARD:

If you are active doing missions and fighting, by keeping your HG filled you will consistently increase the strengh and power of your squad. This is specially true during the Clan and Faction Wars.

A3. JOIN LOTTO:

Every day there are three lotto drafts (every 8 hours) where a participating player will win 100 Niodes. Additionally, every member of his clan will be allowed to get 20 Niodes after the winner claimed his prize.

Keep joining all the three lottos if posible.

A4. JOIN CIRCUITS:

A new battle circuit is released every two days.
On entering (no need to participate by fighting in the competition yet) you will get 10 free crystals and 2 free niodes.

Additionally, you may participate, to earn decent amounts of crystal on cumulative and succesive circuit fights.
 
A5. SEND GIFTS:

Every day you can send a gift ítem to your allies (Friends) and they will have the option to return you the favor. The more gifts you sent to your allies, the more opportunities you will have to get gifts in return.

A6. USE YOUR DAILY FREE UPGRADE GIFT:

Among all the gifts, there is one that allows you to upgrade for free one level to your chosen mech.

This free upgrade can be used one time per day.

There aer also doublé upgrade packs awarded with a daily clan raffle between those clans you got the higher enemy tonnage killed in battles.

A7. HARVEST CRYSTAL FARMS:

A good way to add crystal to your resources is harvesting your allies' crystal farms.
Each one of them you harvested will give you 1 to 5 crystals (1/4 of their current crystals rounded up). Note that they won't get their crystals reduced yet by the fee you acquire.

Keep using the 10 daily available crystal seeds, receiving through gifts for another 50 daily crystals.

Read more about crystal farms in the crystal article.

~Section B~

B1. DO MISSIONS:

The missions are one of the easier and faster ways to earn experience and some resources.
The deeper you advanced into the mision tree, the higher resources and experience points you will earn.

If you don't care about acquiring experience or if you want to leevl up faster, the missions are one of the best ways to acquire xp in a profitable way as you wil increase your ferriet, bioptics and niodes.

B2. FIGHT AT CIRCUITS:

The best way to acquire crystal at a high and fast rate, when not worried about earn experience, are the circuits.

Read more about circuits in the crystal article.

B3. DO BATTLES:

The best way to acquire experience, as to increase your Wins Score (that will unlock awarded quests) are the battles.

If you are aiming to power level (level at a high and fast rate), defeat other players in the battle field is the best way. You will earn high xp amounts within a fair amount of ferriet and bioptics.

~Section C~

C1. WATCH VIDEOS

the option to watch the advertising videos is only available for USA browser users.

Each video watched will pay you a Force Ion Beam that you can sell back for 1 Niode and some few ferrite and bioptics.

Videos are a powerful tool to acquire niodes. Don't miss the chance to grab as many daily videos as possible. 3 videos a day may doesn't look so much, but after one hundred days keeping getting those three videos, you may have 300 niodes... Do you still thinking 300 niodes are not worthy of a daily small invested time?

C2. SUBMITT YOUR FAN WORKS TO THE NEWS & COMICS SITES:

Every player can write their own stories related with Mecha Galaxy, create other Fan stuff (reviews, draws, comics, memes, poems...) and submitt them to any of the News and Comics Sites to get them published and paying to you some good niodes.

To learn more, check the News & Comics Sites in the "All MG links" section.

Ferrite & Bioptics


To keep upgrading your Mechs you need the following resources:

  • Niodes for your elite quiality mechs, upgrades and gear.
  • Crystal for your standard quality mechs, upgrades and gear.
  • Ferrite and Bioptics for both, elite and standard quality mechs, upgrades, bases and gear.

All mechs, equipment, weapons, upgrades and base expansion are going to require from your reserves both resources, Ferrite as Bioptics (with exception of instant upgrades, that require Niodes, or buy of weapons by bulks, that requires Niodes for elite weapons or crystal for standard weapons)

But what are those Ferrite and Bioptics?
 

Ferrite (aka Ferronite)Resource: Mechagalaxy.com


For centuries, mankind had built with steel, an iron-based alloy doped with other elements to make the molecular structure of the iron stronger. Ferrite, in contrast, is very pure iron threaded with iron nanocrystals which are fantastically strong. First discovered on Earth in AD 1988, it could only be made by the microgram. Centuries later, the Illyrians were able to produce it by the ton.


Ferrite is expensive to manufacture, and once "cast" it cannot be malleably re-shaped like ordinary metals, though it can be cut to shape using the right equipment. This limits its scrap value from dead mechs; any ferrite parts you re-use have to be cut down to suit their new application. Ferrite's strength makes it essential for structural components of mechs and for machine parts used for a range of applications.
 

Bioptics (aka Neuroptics)Resource: Mechagalaxy.com


Highly adaptable neural network technologies using optical computing rather than silicon. Dedicated laboratories grow Bioptics in tangled masses like cotton candy. When mushed together, the neural nets automatically link up to form multi-purpose algorithmic technology. These lumps can then be "trained" to function as processing power, data storage, or communication cables.


These advances in organic computers allowed the creation of the helmet rigs worn by gifted mech pilots.


-------------------- Ways to acquire Ferrite & Bioptics --------------------
  1. Mission salvages
  2. Battles
  3. Retro feed or cannibalization
  4. Bulk trade




1. Missions salvage 
While doing missions, you will usually earn both type of resources. The higher the mission line, the higher the amount of Ferriet and Bioptics you will acquire.

Yomi is reported to give the higher amounts of both resources.







2. Battles

Every time you fight against another player’s squad, you will earn an amount of each one of these resources, larger on successful strikes and tiny on defeats, but even if you got defeated, you will keep earning a small amount of both resources.


3. Retro feed / Cannibalization

You can anytime scrap (sell) your gear to get a refund of 1/3 their original cost. This will always include a certain amount of Ferrite and Bioptics.
The most profitable ratio for this comes while selling Fury Lasers.

4. Bulk trade

There is a way to acquire Ferrite and Bioptics without achieve experience, as long as you had crystal enough (could also be done with Niodes, but that praxis is extremely expensive and a total waste):
As there are weapons you can buy by bulks, paying only crystal, you can acquire several bulks to later sell the acquired weapons to receive back not only 1/3 of the crystal, but also Ferrite and Bioptics.
Basically, this practice is trading crystal by Ferrite and Bioptics and a lower return of crystal back.

Currently now, the best weapon to buy in bulks is the Fury Laser, as selling it will give you the best ratio of Ferrite and Bioptics in relation to the invested crystal.

Without a sale (in which the profit will be bigger even), you invest 8 crystal to acquire 5 Fury Laser at the cost of four.

Selling back each one, you get:
1 Crystal
55 Ferrite (1/3 of 165)
44 bioptics (1/3 of 132)


So, from a buy in bulk and selling 5 Fury lasers you get:

5 Crystal (you lose only 3 crystal per bulk)
275 Ferrite
220 Bioptics

If you were in a hurry or tired to click too much to sell the gazillion of fury lasers you might end owning, you can try with envelopers (ice weapon acquire at level 41 and above. Tha trading rate is not as profitable as with the Fury Lasers, but still good enough and you will save your hand from be clicking too much.
