peices 21-45 = -10k uri (more or less) (also per piece)
this being said tho last zues event i spent 400 kes and only got 2 zues peices, but i did get 18 apis pieces

It depend whether you want the apis and zues drones faster or for the least cost for increasing strength.

Getting the 45 apis bps from gold bbs is the cheapest way to get it. As it is a free by product of getting zeus bps and lf4s etc. The only problem with the booty boxes is it is a gamble.

Comparing the benefit of getting a slim chance of getting extra lf4s from the double lf4 events with the chance of getting lf4s and reduced cost for the zeus. it still seems better in the long run to go for gold bbs way past 20 parts.

The cost reduction for the drone for each blue print is a sliding scale and not as you suggest.

Well I made my decision! Booty boxes! i forgot about the lf4 chances and designs! Thanks you all so much! and yeah i do have the apis.. But i want the zeus too thanks!

I also heard a secret from an admin that if you kill an alien and you get a booty box from killing an alien you have a better chance! and I did that and got my full apis drone so im going to try that again!

have used more than 1000 keys. got 45 apis parts plus 21 zeus parts. i haven't built the apis and have used many keys after it's been ready. haven't received a blue print of apis since then. now i have a small amount of keys from zetas and waiting to use them at x2 LF4 day.

jacking70 - The chances are the same, no matter where you find the Booty Chest. Some players seem to have better luck in certain circumstances, and that includes us MODs when we play, but it does not mean that the odds are different - everyone will have their preference.

Do you have further questions?

Nope. Thanks

Well just saying, Since you have 1.1 mil uri, definitly buy the rebate pack, if you think about it, its like getting another 275k uri for 17.99, which is more then 30 dollars worth of uri, on mega. And it lasts 3 months, so its a GREAT thing to buy if you have alota uri worth it
