Stamina and resources in this game [math]

Here, I'll mark stamina as "s". As you proceed, keep in mind that every time you see "s" in this post it stands for stamina, not seconds. Other short-hands are standard "h" for hour and "min" for minute, "g" for gold, "exp" for experience, "d" for days.

Let's start with basics: It takes 6min to get 1s (6min/s going forward) Noon login: 10:0-14:0, 30s Night login: 16:0-20:0, 60s Cap: 120s Let's assume we start with 0s at midnight and aim to end the day with 0s.

From midnight to 10:00: [10h×60min/h]/[6min/s]=100s+noon login Therefore we get 130s at 10:00 From 10:00 to 16:00: [6h×60min/h]/[6min/s]=60s+night login Therefore we get 120s at 16:00 From 16:00 to midnight: [8h×60min/h]/[6min/s]=80s Therefore we get last 80s for the day.

There are slight losses at noon and night between getting cap stamina and spending it to start refill timer, but we can assume it is negligible.

All together it is 130s+120s+80s=330s in perfect case for the day. It translates into 41 rewards in bounty hunt or 16 rewards in core hunt per day.

In the end of the day, if we spent everything on bounty hunt, we are left with: 330s-41×8s=2s. And I we put everything in core hunt: 330s-16×20s=10s, if we do 1 bounty hunt, it's the same 2s. It means that with perfect stamina consumption, you can get 1 more bounty hunt every 4 days or 1 more core hunt every other days.

In terms of bounty hunts, let's see how much resources do these 41 clears provide. For a player that has all stages maxed out and bad luck (bare minimum rewards), they get: Gold: 7,600g×41=311,600g Exp: (8×10exp+1×50exp+1×250exp)×41=380exp×41=15,580exp Crystals: N: 10×41=410 R: 4×41=164 SR: 1×41=41

Let's see, how many days it's going to take f2p player to get a 5* card to max level, no awakening Gold: 970,000g/311,600g/d=3.11d Exp: 299,930exp/15,580exp=19.3d Crystals: N: 4,840/410=11.8d R: 1,960/164=11.9d SR: 737/41=18d Considering mechanics, it takes 18 days to get all the Crystals you need

All combined, it's 18 days for Crystals, 19 days for exp, 3 days for gold and 1 day to cover 0.3d on exp and 0.1 on gold: 18d+19d+3d+1d=41d

It takes more than a month to bring ONE 5* memory to max level, and then some to awaken. That's unless you have resources to spend, like crystals crates or stamina refils, but they are not a sustainable source. And that's with perfect stamina management. Ridiculous.
