Despite playing for a while, it never once occurred to me how the login bonuses were distributed and how many of each reward a player could expect to receive over the course of a year. Now, the savviest among you will have to forgive me (considering you've probably already worked this out for yourselves), but as I couldn't find everything documented in one place I thought it would benefit newer players (or FTPs who rely on bonuses) if the patterns could be more easily recognised. So, I charted my bonuses and listed my conclusions below. (Note that as I haven't been able to corroborate whether the bonuses are in the same order for everyone, I've included mine right at the bottom and given priority to the definitive patterns. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will inform me otherwise.) So, without further ado...
In one year, you can expect to receive:
- 2,925 Gems
- 520 AI Tickets
- 104 Ingots R
- 78 Rare Metals R
- 26 Booster Tickets
Why?
- Bonuses are not random. They follow a predetermined schedule that loops every 28 days.
- The least frequent rewards are Booster Tickets, at just two per cycle.
- These Booster Tickets are spaced exactly 14 days apart, creating a bookend of sorts to all other rewards.
- Of all possible rewards, Gems are the most frequent, being rewarded on just over half of the days (15/28). This means you'll earn 225 every 28 days.
- With just one exception, you will receive Gems at least every other day (and occasionally on two consecutive days) interspersed with the other bonuses.
- You will receive the 2 x Ingots R and 10 x AI Tickets once per week. (As an aside, the "up next" messages incorrectly state that you'll receive 5 x AI Tickets.)
- The 2 x Rare Metal R is the second least distributed bonus, only being given 3 times.
Therefore, in one 28 day cycle you can expect to receive:
- 225 Gems
- 40 AI Tickets
- 8 Ingots R
- 6 Rare Metals R
- 2 Booster Tickets
Below is my personal cycle using a Booster Ticket as the start:
Booster Ticket 15 Gems 2 Ingots R 15 Gems 10 AI Ticket 15 Gems 15 Gems 2 Rare Metals R 15 Gems 2 Ingots R 15 Gems 10 AI Ticket 15 Gems 15 Gems Booster Ticket 15 Gems 2 Ingots R 15 Gems 15 Gems 10 AI Ticket 15 Gems 2 Rare Metals R 15 Gems 2 Rare Metals R 15 Gems 10 AI Ticket 15 Gems 2 Ingots R
TL;DR
In one year you can't even afford 6 ten packs but hey, you can let the AI lose approximately 30 games (give or take) on your behalf.
