Hey guys, this started as a thought I had on whether I should invest more in Energy or Stamina. After thinking about it for about an hour and doing the math, I decided to make this post to let everyone else know about what I had thought up. I'm not sure if someone else has already done this though.
The first thing I did was go through all the Jobs to see which one gave the most XP per Energy. After doing all the ratios and averages,
Area 2's The Shakedown had the highest overall.
Job Title: XP gained / Energy Spent = XP per Energy
The Shakedown: 7/6~9/6 = 1.17~1.5 = 1.33 avg.
Then, I got the average for XP per Stamina.
Stamina: 1/1~4/1 = 1~4 = 2.5 XP per Stamina.
Now that might make you think you can level up faster from stamina, but keep reading.
Next, I figured how many skill points I earned each week. I go up about 1 level per day, and complete about 1 Job per day.(Higher areas suck :P)
From that, I worked out that I gain around 42 skill points per week.
1 level * 5 skill points * 7 Days + 1 job * 1 skill point * 7 Days = 42 skill points
The next thing I had to do was calculate the amount of XP I would get for each if I put all 42 into one or the other.
42 Energy * 1.33 XP per Energy = 55.86 XP
21 Stamina(2 skill points per) * 2.5 XP per Stamina = 52.5 XP
So that shows that I should put more Skill Points into Energy right? Wrong. After doing this, I remembered that both of them were based on averages and so I worked out the same thing using each possible outcome.
Energy:
42 Energy * 1.17 XP per Energy = 49.14 XP
42 Energy * 1.33 XP per Energy = 55.86 XP
42 Energy * 1.5 XP per Energy = 63 XP
Stamina:
21 Stamina * 1 XP Per Energy = 21 XP
21 Stamina * 2 XP Per Stamina = 42 XP
21 Stamina * 3 XP Per Stamina = 63 XP
21 Stamina * 4 XP Per Stamina = 84 XP
Now with those values in mind, I have a 33% chance of getting any of the values for energy and a 25% chance for each value of Stamina. However, since I'm wondering which one would be best for me, I can group the values for stamina into 2 50% chance blocks.
Energy: 33% chance of either 49.14 or 55.86 or 63 XP
Stamina: 50% chance of either 21-42 or 63-84 XP
Energy: 66% chance of less than 60 XP
Stamina: 50% chance of less than 60 XP(and all Energy values)
In other words, I have a 50% chance of doing as well or better with stamina than energy and a 50% chance of doing worse.
In conclusion, energy is a safer way to go, but if you want to gamble, stamina is for you
