    I realise that everything is up for chance but which do you think is better in getting LF-4’s faster. Doing multiples of Hades, Kappa or Epsilon gates with a ‘chance’ of getting a LF-4 at the end or doing multiple Zeta and saving for 25 green booty keys for a LF-4 event? If it is Hades, Kappa or Epsilon which one is the best (fastest / easiest to do)?
     
  2. Kappa if you want ranks
    Hades is hard to get LF-4
    Epsilon is fine but it doesn't give alot of rank

    The easiest gate to do is Kappa in my opinion

  3. Do not do gates for LF4, it is not worth it at all. If you are going for LF4 the only way is booty keys. So if you are not full havoc, go for Zeta. If you are full havoc then use your uri to keys and use them during 3x LF4 day. This way it is 50-200k uridium for each new LF4 without any discount packages.

    If you do Kappa you need on average 4 gates for 1 LF4 = +600k uri
    Epsilon 3 gates for 1 LF4 = +400k uri
    Hades I don't know, but not worth it if you do not have a good group of UFE who you can join to do the gate.
    Zeta 1-8 gates for 1 LF4 (25-200 keys) = +500k uri average

    If you dont have havocs or hercules drone designs you should start with zeta gates. While going for havoc designs you will get few lf4s on the way. Use them on zeus day if you dont have zeus / apis , if you have em , use em on lf4 day.
    So if you just have havocs, you should go for kappas to get hercs. But that takes so much time / spins .

    If you really care only about lf4s i advice u to do hades gates and collect booty boxes. If you have rebate and premium, on GG sale day hades reward pay new hades. So you can just spam them and get small chance for lf4 while spending nothing.
    Bootys are just bootys. You will always find few lf4s.

    But the best way (if you are noob) is to start with zetas --> getting bootys on zeus days --> then kappas --> hades.

    Its just an advice. It isnt so nice if you going for lf4s and when u full u start doing gates for drone designs. Then u will just be mad on yourself you went for lf4s first instead of drones. - If you start with gates for drone designs u will get many lf4s along on the way for them. And thats the way how you can safe your uri.

    personaly i recived more lf4 from hades and kappa
     
  8. I know from watching my friends play that the Booty Key is an EXPENSIVE way to get your LF-4's as they have bought the Ultra Booty keys which were supposed to increase your odds of getting the LF-4 and they got Jack S nothing. They bought in to the 3X LF-4 days and bought 1000 keys and got nothing for their efforts. On Zeus day they collected Apis drone blueprints (even though they already have one built) at a rate of 10 Apis to 1 Zeus. This being said I agree with Sauroni to go for your drone designs and see what happens with the LF-4's while getting full design set.

    One question I would ask on the subject is if you are full Havoc/Hercules designs do you get a better chance of LF-4 or do you keep getting the drone designs? I am new to the game and my friends started before the addition of the NEW gates and can not answer my questions as they have not done these gates yet.

    Chance never changes.

    Btw. before u will find enough zeus blueprins - app. 20 , you will have to build another apis, cuz once it has 45 parts you will stop getting them (somehow i got 46 o_O) and instead of them you will find more zeus parts. So if ya want to build zeus faster, be patient and keep your drone ready with 45 parts in tech center, get app 20 zeus parts and then build both in a row.

    you should contact support about your 46th peace to replace it with a zues peace

    I built both 2x so i dont really care about +1 piece there.
    Its just cool i got 46th somehow.

  12. Nice to know this I will make sure I do not build the Apis before I have my Zeus built first, but since I am not buying the BK-100's in any form I guess I will never build them, HUH. I do not get enough keys from quests to do any good, but if I build enough gates I guess I will end up with a bunch, LOL.

    Glad it could help you. :)
     
  14. never do kappa unless you want Hercules!
    epsilon and hades are not worth it.
    if you want LF4 the fastest way then go for zeta and go for helix lf4 days.

    I'm experienced in that,
    I spent about 400 keys in total on 2 different lf4 days and I'm not lying but I was amazed, I got about 10-14. 1 particular helix lf4 day I got 1 lf4 for every 40 keys and I manage to get 5 lf4 at the end of day, I could have gotten more if I have time to play more on that day, map 4-x and open booty keys.

    also I got full zeus drone from keys and I was amazed but I don't remember that was zeus or helix days.

    I have now 23 lf4 and I don't even have 1 Hercules :p
    but I am full havoc so you get my message I hope
    I am not good rank but my zeta count in hall of fame in above 200 :) while my rank based on rank point is lower than 1K
    so yea, for lf4 helix zeta is way better than those kappa and other gates.
    now I am going for Hercules only because I got a stack of 500 keys on my ships so I don't need those free keys as zeta give free keys.
    in future I know I wont do kappa (until I manage to get 10 Hercules) at all unless I want to open kronos.

    my advise is try to get 100 keys go 4-x maps and open them on helix lf4 days, like me I hope you will be able to find atleast 2 lf4 that's what I always expect from lf4 days 100 keys - 2 lf4 sometime more, though luck may not be with out and if you feel that you used 100 keys and still not manage to get what you wanted then switch to gates like hades or kappa.
