Wow it's been more than 3 weeks since my last #terracore update. I really am very busy and I unfortunately could not get spare time to play this game for more than a week. My next upgrade should be last week, and I plan was about increasing DEFENSE and ENGINEERING.

But before we go to that part, Let's check what's going on in #terracorre game.

It seemed our NFT marketplace was down earlier this morning. That leaves me a big question, do people still trade or buy NFT nowadays? I believe the frequency has already dropped from last years, but for sure... let check it out!

The right way to check NFT transactions is from our Discord, which you only need to search for "Purchased" keywords in Market Feed Channel. It looks like someone buy an NFT earlier today, mrcripple bought an Energy Shield for 25 HIVE. Right now I guess it's around $4 right?

Let's check deeper

The 2 other recent purchase was yesterday for 70 $HIVE from mrcripple again and the third one was from 14 days ago by Broniet for 25 $HIVE.

So what can we take from these 3 NFT transaction? For me, there are 4 points here:

1. Uncommon rarity is everyone favorite. It has the highest value to the HIVE we pay.
2. People still care with Damage and Defense attributes. Although NFT is more expensive than doing a direct upgrades, I guess people do not care much about it.
3. Price and attributes won't be the same, even $HIVE price to $flux amount we get from scrapping won't be significant. People just buy what they need.
4. There aren't many NFT out there listed on market. Most are already scrapped for $FLUX. so opening a crate would not be a bad idea.

Ok that's for today, we go to upgrades now.

MY UPGRADES

Ok this looks bad, I have been away from upgrades for 21 days which lead to a punishment or pinlay of 0 mining $SCRAP. However the good thing is that I have 8.000 $SCRAP and I could do some significant ugprades here. I still stick to my plan of having a defensive build, and these are what I do for the upgrades:

STATS	Before	After	Cost in SCRAP	Reasons and Goal
Stash Size	1.000	1.000	0	Currently I have no new plan on this one
Favor	1.000	1,000	0	same as stash, right now I have no new plan on this one
Engineering	22	24	484+519	I choose to push 2 points up for this Engineering, I need to catch up the gap by having faster $SCRAP mining
Damage	320	330	1.024	I know offense is not a priority here, and upgrading 10 damage is not something that significant change my performance. However I do not wish to have myself in a situation which none is available to be robbed.
Defense	370	410	1.369+1.444+1.521+1.600	40 defense upgrades, yes this is what I mean with a defensive build. I really hope with this one, I could hold more stash before they get rob

I just made 7.961 $SCRAP burn to make these upgrade. 2 Engineering, 1 Damage and 4 Defense, and this is how I look right now:

Right now my build is completed, this is the defensive built I have been aiming. But it doesn't mean I will stop upgrading, but it more like I will maintain this ratio. Let's hope the performance within next 7 days will be what I have planned before.

Do you have any comment? please do not hesitate to give some feedback to me.

NEWBIE TIPS ON BUILT:

1. Focus on your built. There is no right or wrong, or the best build for this game. Everything depends on how you play the game, how often you are playing Terracore, preference in mining over attacking and many more.
2. Always have your defense level higher than your engineering level. Some said it should be at least 3 level higher, but trust me... there is no absolute formula in this game, so how many level it should be higher, all depends on how you play this game
3. Do not do upgrade frenzy... always plan well, save some for next week upgrades so you won't get penalized from being idle without upgrade.

THE RUMBLE

I still lose more $Scrap than what I get from robbing other players, but this is common if we build a defensive type, The gap is less than 5%, so this means everything is ok.

I still have Rosewalks as my biggest robber. He has been there for two consecutive upgrades posts, but his reign is over now. I have set my Defense to 410 which is higher than his damage, so he will no longer be a threat to my stash.

So this time forward, he will join with my previous top robbers Cryptounicorn420 and PSNCHZ in retirement list, because they could not longer rob me again.

Now with Rosewalks gone, I wonder who will be the next asshole who on the top list?

NEWBIE TIPS ON BUILT:

1. Winning the battles are great however getting more $SCRAP from battles doen't make you get more scrap in overall. There are players who lose battles badly but in daily they are making tonnes of $SCRAPS due to high engineering level. So all be back on what your goal is, winning the brawls or minting the SCRAP. 

ok thats all for my 17th Terracore update. See you on battlefield, and don't give me me any opportunity to rob your $SCRAP!
