How I Build My Bank in FoE - A Couple Microstrategies

So you want to have some stored FP to buy goods for that next cool GB, or to really start in on your sniping game. In this video I talk about a modified swap strategy that elite players have been using that can also work just fine with any other trusted player in the game. I also touch a bit on how I find reliable and compatible players that don't object to consistent sniping as my friends.

I know this is an old video, but I think it's still very relevant to many players today, myself included. I see that people have brought up the question why not just invest your collection directly into a 1.9 to quickly bank FP's, instead of going through all this hassle, and that's logical. However, an important component to the strategy being shown here is that you're also leveling your own GB at the same time, so there really is no opportunity cost. If you just dump your daily collection into 1.9 threads, you're doing so at the expense of raising your own GB's (since no one's priming them).

Thanks for the comment. Even older videos will have immediate relevance in terms of the classic gameplay aspects.

I've tried this with someone in guild so then instead of using bank to get p1 you just put your daily collection on so it all comes back without using bank points! The one issue about the highest era hoods is I've been told by majority of guild there's nothing on hood sniping! Unless you catch a mistake! But transferring active points to bank without using bank is a good way to get your bank up! Thank you for the video and I was just curious being in the top hoods of your world how often do you find good investments?

There do tend to be less neighborhood investment opps in the higher eras mainly due to other high arc players actively sniping. It kind of depends on who is in the hood in any given week. On the flip side there still seems to be 7 to 8 players per week that present good opportunities. I think it's better to curate your friends list to mainly have players that want outside investors by priming their GBs with just enough FP for you to make a profit so it's a win/win.

So if you swap 3480 on your own GB, looking for 1.9 threads when primed, you level them with no return BUT you do get to post for a person taking 2nd (1700) on the 1.9 thread. But if you trade the 3480 on your partner's GB and them to you, you get half back BUT do not get to post to the 1.9 thread the 2nd place (since it is now taken). So you are essentially banking FP at the same time leveling with a 1.9 crew but not getting more FP than self leveling. Ya get 1700 back but can't get 1700 from posting in the 1.9 thread for 2nd place (so a wash). This is just a way to bank roll daily income efficiently. Am I correct? I am missing anything?

That is exactly right - a way to bankroll your daily collection back into an FP bank.

@@foeadvance7024 but why do you need this convoluted process, why not just invest your daily into someone else's GB in a 1.9 thread?

@@pocsosocskos9179 one reason is that there aren’t always enough opportunities to bank when you do your big collection. I have run into this problem several times.

I understand about the sniping np. However; I don't understand how the swapping. I just didn't understand that part.

I probably didn't explain it very well. The basic idea of this concept applies to really high GBs that need thousands of FP to be loaded up prior to it being eligible for a 190 (or higher) set of investors. So my level 100 AO needs around 10000 FP total to flip. Only half that amount (appx) can be loaded up by other players for ROI on slots 1 thru 5. That leaves 5000FP that I need to come up with to run the next level. So when doing this my swap partner and I dump all our daily collections on each other's AO's for say 10 days. We monitor to ensure so much FP doesn't get on there that the GB becomes snipe-able. Once there's enough of my FP on his GB to get an investor to lock P1, the investor adds which then locks me into P2. Once the GB is flipped I get the payback of FP from P2 for my bank. Which is a better use of my daily collection than to just keep throwing my 5000 FP on my own AO just to get it lockable for a flip. Hope this makes sense.

Why not just put your collection into someone’s 1.9 thread to build up your bank ?

That also works very well, it just depends on what options you have available.

Most newbies and people that watch KZfaq videos to learn whatever they can learn or doing so on their phone, you are obviously recording on a desktop with a very large screen, so the window that you're referring to is so small no one see it, mostly we're looking at your city with a little small square in the middle that you keep trying to point to and refer to. Blow your screen up before you make recordings so we can actually see what you're trying to show us... Ty

That is helpful as I know most are mobile, however I don't know if expanding or shrinking is better.
