Upgrade Times for L11 and above?

Home Forums Angry Birds Transformers Forum Upgrade Times for L11 and above?

  • Has anyone been intrepid enough to take one of their TFs from L10 to L15 without resorting to gems? I’m curious how long the standard upgrade times are for each level up to L15?

    I’m rapidly reaching the point where once I get to Rank 297 (i.e. 27 x L11) I’m probably going to stop playing, especially if I’m going to need another 6-7 months to get this done. It now seems more like a chore than an enjoyable pastime, especially with all the bugginess.

    L11 to L12 – 1 day 16 hours X 27 transformers = 45 days
    L12 to L13 – 2 days X 27 transformers = 54 days
    L13 to L14 – 2 days 6 hours X 27 Transformers = 60 days
    L14 to L15 – 2 days 12 hours X 27 Transformers = 67 days

    So if you total the days 45+54+60+67=226 days / 30 days = 7.5 months
    But you get gems through portals so that will help you in upgrading the transformers pretty fast only using coins with it!!

    From L12 to L15 the timings are all a guess but it will be somehow nearby!!

    OMG, these seem so fruitless & why continue???

    Or it could be even worse. I was thinking 2d8h and 2h16h for L14 and L15 respectively.

    I know that I could use gems to speed things up, but keep in mind that the higher the TF the more gems you’ll need.

    And you’re still going to be limited by the amount of Super Rareium (“SR”) you have.

    I’m wondering now, if you need 1 SR to go from L10 to L11 and 2 SR to go from L11 to L12, does it increase linearly so that you’d need 3 SR for L13, 4 SR for L14, and 5 SR for L15? I don’t think I have sufficient willpower to deal with that.

    well I did few analysis like:

    1) from L10 to L11 you need 2,00,000 coins and it will take 30 hours to complete the process and to finish it up in an instant use 111 gems…
    so here’s the catch if you check the above stats it is 3.7 gems an hour (111/30) but the moment you get close to the upgrade the value of gems will depreciate a lot because in the end it will be like 10 gems for 1 hour of remaining time to finish and it gets worse 3 gems for 10 mins….

    so this is an announcement to all dont use gems in the end, if you have enough gems to complete the process in an instant then do it else avoid it better stack them up…

    2) you do need 5 SR to upgrade your transformer from 14 to 15 but then rather upgrading your transformers all from 11 to 12 and then 12 to 13 dont do it. its better to stop at 12 because from 12 to 13 it will take 2 days and 3 SR and in that time you can do around 7 hours 7 missions in Hard Portals which gives you SR.. so with remaining 2 SR from the above you can gather 3 SR and even if you couldnt then go with the 12 to 13 or 13 to 14 upgrade and in that time even if you are able to earn 3 SR then you can do a 13 to 14 mission.. even pigs help a lot in decreasing the time also…

    3) collecting coins is not at all a big deal with 4 hours node you can get around 75000 to 90000 coins a day and from portals around 25000 to 50000 coins and while playing regular missions you can harvest around 100000 coins daily.

    4) as per my judgement 200000 coins is the max limit of coins to upgrade though it might go upto 250000 like b4 but still it is easy to collect

    5) gems are easy to harvest ie 25 gems a day and if you are lucky it can be 50 gems so within 3-4 days you will enough gems to upgrade ur transformer in an instant with the help of coins.

    6) with portals all full you get less option to play with the transformers so now instead of 3 days now gold domes are available in every 2 days and the video doubler is unlimited…

    So all in all the game is a bit easy apart from insta death for all L10 transformers but once you cross that stage from 10 to 11 things get easy though it is tiring some doing the same thing again but future updates will bring more transformers as well as new areas so the interest level will go up back again!!

    ~?~ Noob Question ~?~

    If you stop a character upgrade, to play a limited time available dome event for example, can you resume the upgrade after completing the event?

    Does it actually “pause” the upgrade, or do you lose all that progress & have to start that specific upgrade all over again?

    @dawni-criswell It doesn’t pause. The clock starts over if you do. But you will get your coins back.

    Some of the posts above were not right, or else perhaps there are different times for different bots. This is the data friends & I collected:

    To take a bird to level XX takes YY:
    11 / 1 day 8 hours
    12 / 1 day 16 hours
    13 / 2 days
    14 / 2 days 12 hours
    15 / 3 days

    So taking one bird from 10 to 15 takes 10.5 days.

    This assumes of course that you always start your next update 10 seconds after the previous one finishes, and that you have the coins and materials to do it. The highest levels require multiple superariums and >200,000 coins.

    aVIP2u
    @avip2u

    If you are short on Superariums, they’ll sell you one for 50 gems (each).

    Optimus_Pig
    @optimuspig

    Well I’m not really willing to spend more gems than what I can collect randomly so at some point my upgrades will slow down significantly simply because of Super Rareium scarcity.

    Can anyone confirm how many Super Rareiums we need for L13, L14, and L15? Is it 3, 4, and 5?

    Edit: good resource management and proper mission selection is definitely going to become more critical as we progress. For the first time I actually ran into a problem having enough Pig Iron and Birdium for my next upgrade, even though those are the most common special materials.

    FYI if you don’t have enough, they’ll offer to sell you the Birdiums for ten gems each, lol.

    Thank you @partshade I’m in that situation now, Gold dome level available with lvl 10 bumblebee. Every bumblebee level they have given me is impossible so I’m afraid the dome will be too. I had just kicked off a soundblaster upgrade a few hours before. I think i’ll stop him, get my coins back, do bumblebee and insta-gem him, then go back to soundwave.

    @avip2u

    @optimuspig The data I collected for the one Bot I have at level 15 is:

    Level X to Y / Coins / Superariums

    12 to 13 / 225,000 / 3
    13 to 14 / 225,000 / 4
    14 to 15 / 250,000 / 5

    You also need increasing numbers of 2 other materials besides the S.R. The level 15 Bot upgrade drains a full, level 15, silo, to zero, in 2 of the 3 materials as well as the S.R.

    Optimus_Pig
    @optimuspig

    Thanks, makes sense.

    I don’t think I can survive another six months (minimum!!!) of grinding harvests.

    Probably closer to twelve months if we need full or close to full silos at the really high levels.

    And who knows what other changes Rovio has in store for us at the next update?

    @rdjm

    I am at level 276. I calculated update times to 405, and, without using gems, it will take until 23 April 2016 to get there. Hopefully the next updates will shorten this. Any thoughts?
