Conspiracy Mission Energy Requirements

Share:

If you read my Conspiracy Mission Walk Through, you know that completing it is going to take a lot of energy. I was curious to know just how much so I went through the tasks and calculated an approximate number.  There are a total of 8 tasks requiring you to use energy. In one of these tasks you can use the low energy New York jobs so I didn't include it in my calculations. I spend under 50 energy to acquire 8 Huntsmen. Players choosing jobs that require more energy will spend more.

Part 8 Task #1

8 Huntsmen

Energy Cost: Varies

Three of the tasks require that you do specific jobs to loot certain items so there is no way to say for sure how much energy it will take. The numbers I used were from one account and we all know not all accounts behave the same way. I used RepeatJob by Team Spockholm and stopped it as soon as the last required item dropped. Here is the data from the three runs.

Part 1, Task #3

18 Wooden Crates

Total Energy: 5,346

 Part 3 Task #2

15 Hit Squads

Total Energy: 13,284

 Part 7, Task #3

25 Wooden Crates

Total Energy:  58,320

The rest of the tasks requiring energy are straight forward. We are told how many jobs to do to complete each task.

Part 2, Task #2

25 Jobs

Part 4 Task #3

25 Jobs

Part 5 Task #3

25 Jobs

Part 9 Task #2

40 Jobs

To sum everything up, the chart below outlines the total energy costs to complete the Mission. Accounts that haven't mastered the required jobs on the ruby level will require less energy. Energy costs assume that a players Mastermind gives a 10% reduction in energy costs and will be lower for players who get Wheelman bonuses while doing these jobs. It will take approximately 144,450 energy to finish the Conspiracy Mission. 

Mission Part	Task #	# of Clicks	Energy/Job	Total	Pay Off Option
1	1	33*	162	5,346	41
2	2	25	270	6,750	19
3	2	41*	324	13,284	34
4	3	25	378	9,450	19
5	3	25	756	18,900	19
7	3	60*	972	58,320	57
8	1	Varies	Varies	Varies	30
9	2	40	810	32,400	30
Grand Total				144,450	249

*Job clicks and energy costs based off one sample run. Not all accounts will require the same costs.


It will take approximately 144,450 energy (or 249 Reward Points) to finish the Conspiracy Mission. All you get for doing so is one loot item (2 if you complete the Bonus Mission). I think it's backwards that we get 12 items for completing Gifting Events which require very little time and no resources. With 14 days to finish, this shouldn't be impossible for players with average energy pools. It was bad timing to have a Secret District going on at the same time so some players will have to choose. New players (if there is such a thing) will probably feel overwhelmed and give up.
