Choosing Between Blazing Lynx and Advanced Guild Skills

Hey guys, in this post we analyze the correct time to buy the Blazing Lynx compared to purchasing Advanced Guild Skills in the Advanced Guild Shop. To do this we are going to post the skill costs per level and look at the stats’ benefit from each case to find the sweet spot when buying the mount becomes more efficient.

Developing Potion Cost per Level

Remember that for every level up we get +40 to that specific attribute (only 1).

Stats from Blazing Lynx vs. Advanced Skills

Now the Blazing Lynx (picture below) gives +30 to all 4 attributes and while all 4 are useful to lesser or greater degree, for this article/analysis, we are going to consider this as 3 attributes as the Intelligence is of limited use for Knights and Archers and Strength is of limited use for Mages.

Blazing Lynx Card costs 30,000 fangs or developing potions’ equivalent, so if we divide this into 3 we get 10,000 points cost per attribute and this is something we can directly compare with the cost of the advanced guild skill upgrades.

Comparing Costs

For someone who just got access to Advanced Guild Skills then for only 600 points (fangs / developing potions) which is 200 x 3 for upgrading each of the 3 attributes to level 1 the player can get +40 to their stats and that’s of course a lot cheaper and better than saving up for the mount. Now the first upgrade is a no-brainer, but the interesting question is where exactly is the sweet spot and to see that clearly we can transform the above table into one equivalent of the mount by increasing each cost by a factor of 3 in which case we get:

With this new table we can see in the “Adjusted” column the price to buy +40 stats compared to the +30 stats from mount and we can see that all the way up to level 6 and even level 7 upgrade it is much more efficient to upgrade advanced guild skills instead of buying the Blazing Lynx mount!

The only other factor that I chose not to consider in this is Mount Refinement. The reason for this is that for me refining mounts has a lot more to do with following good / interesting events for maximum rewards than stats and this is why I do not consider it. However, those people who wish you refine straight away no matter on the events then can definitely not go higher than level 5 or level 6.

In any case, we hope this analysis will help you to make the most efficient decision when spending your hard earned fangs / developing potions.
