Or do showdown, every 3 minutes you get 100+ gralats. So 1000 gralats per half hour.

Ive made over 50k+ gralats from showdown by winning around 450 showdowns. idk how many exactly it takes to to get 50k+ but winning showdowns is the best way to earn gralats. You all need to calm down saying repairingnships is best way cuz 11 gralats every 30 seconds isnt much compared to 100+ gralats every 1-2 minutes.

I did a couple half hour sessions and discovered that I make (on average) 650 graalats per 30 minutes at showdown. I won every showdown except for a few of them. If it takes you 20 seconds per ship, then ship repair gives you 990 Graalats every 30 mins.

Seems like even if you always win, showdown will not earn money as fast as repairing ships nonstop. Kind of lame considering how much more work it takes to win showdown vs repair ships. Ship repair is in a whole other league than showdown, recycling, and mining when it comes to earning graalats.

this is so not true... unless there was only 1-2 noobs in all those showdowns u did then theres no way ur only going to earn that. If u win all the showdowns with a decent amount of ppl there and fairly quickly (2 minutes or less) u should earn 100g for every winx 15 wins= 1,500g in 30 minutes. now unless ppl rage quit and leave showdown u might earn less but ur still going to earn around 1k in half an hour.

You aren't 100% positive you can win showdown continually, no matter how "pr0" you are

but with Ship Repairs, your 100% positive your going too earn money,

Yeah ive been on like 50 win streaks before and gotten around 200 killstreaks in the past just from showdowns... im 100% positive showdown is better than repairing. u just gotta be "pr0" enuf to do it.

I literally just wrote down how much money I had every 30 minutes while doing showdown and then subtracted it to find out how much I earned. I played every single round of showdown in that time and lost only a few of them, in some sessions I didn't lose any. For example, one time I earned 635 graalats, the next time I earned 677. If you don't believe me you can go test it for yourself.

Most of the time there were probably 5-7 other players. I just did one with just two players and it gave me just 39 graalats (plus 7 from bounty).

Edit: just beat one with 4 players, earned 45 graalats plus 25 from the bounty of the guy who was winning before I came, so 70 total.

- Did one against 9 other players and got 63 graalats (no bounty)  

Yeah ive already tested how much cash u get from showdown. ill do it again and show u how much money u can really earn from showdown tomorrow in 30min. maybe theres hardly any ppl when ur doing it and ur not doing it fast enough cuz im bored of showdown and if i wasnt i would be a millionare on zone by now lol  

Ok so i just tested it by doing 1 showdown. Here are the results:

1 minute game that included 9 players counting myslef. I killed 6 other players and when it was over i earned 90$ from that. 90$x30= 2,700g. now the amount of players wont stay at 9 so with a subtracted amount it should be about 2,000-2,250. Versus ship repairing 22$ per minute or even 33$ if ur rlly fast idk. 22$x30= 700g 33$x30=1,000g.

A picture below showing my 6 kills and cash. i had 140$ before the match and after i had 230$.

dont believe me? look at my gralats in the second picture. if u dont think i did a showdown in 1 minute then whatever i cant prove that with these pics.  

it takes like 5 minutes to get 500 gralats...  

for ship repair o.o ? no for showdown? yeah if u pr0

Hmmm there are times that I earn 90-100 still in showdown (usually because someone had a high bounty) but that much is really rare recently. Nyte posted about it too (http://www.graalians.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20403). I think if you tried to measure how much you would make in 30 minutes vs multiplying the results of one then you'd see similar earnings as me cause factors like the 30 seconds minimum between each match, people who run around the water / pillar on the fortress in the middle of the map to stall, inevitably losing a few to teamers/laggers, and the fact that people will just leave showdown if you keep winning will make the amount earned in 30 minutes much less.

If Tashkin is right in Nyte's thread then hopefully they will increase the showdown amounts back to what they used to be. I will track down some more earnings later and try to go when there's more people.  

showdown amounts back ya  

yeah thats why i said you wouldnt earn exactly 2.7k but more around 2,000g. the people who run around and make it hard for u to kill them are gun noobs trying not die. Usually i just dodge their spam while running at them and kill them lol. To earn what i calculated u have to be fast and have to have a decent amount of people in the game.  

Oh Rotaruc Tashkin set the Showdown amounts back right before you did your tests lol. That is why our numbers were so different. The amount of money was set to the low amounts on the dev version but they went back to normal today. Showdown is the fastest way to earn money again if you can win consistently.  

O lmao fail x.x
