Results of my Terror Trove Training

I scratched 251 of them, and spent approximately 300K for the cards.
I gained 13 levels, so, 13x20= 260K.
(Training at the school is currently 20K per course for me.)
I also won about 115K in sc prizes, so I came out of it with an extra 75K and the levels.
Hope this information helps some of you.

Wow... 300 cards?

Man you're good! The price are skyrocketing ?

I have records of over 4000 cards. Basically it works out to one level up every 25 cards. That is 4% of the time.

that's why you don't terror card train.

Hmm, let's see.
I made some extra money, and I got the levels I needed much faster than I would've. I'm almost to 8 hour courses now, so it's time consuming.
My TT training was beneficial, and to most people in my situation it is. (Lab Rat Training)
I don't need sarcastic comments from you, especially when they're null and void because it was profitable.
Yeah.

it's like this, it's just based on chance

It is based upon chance but it is statistically reliable over the period of time. I scratched 4068 cards. I received 159 level ups. AFter accounting for the NPs I won, the cost of each level was 6547 (when cards are expensive more like 9k per level). For someone who was using 7 or 8 codestones at the time, to train level it was obviously much cheaper to train using Terror Trove cards.

So you think if I want to train from level 1 to 150 the best way (best meanings most cost effetive, I dont care about time) would be scratchcards? Or possibly for lower levelscodestones would be better and then when I get to for example level 75 start with the SCs?

I would train using the academy or school until it cost 2 codestones to train and then would use scratchcards... unless

You need to train in a hurry and want to get your level up faster, then I would do both.

That assumes 1 pet. With multiple pets then you might wait until it costs you 3 codestones to train.

Thanks for the advice.

As NPM said, it actually is the best way to train level quickly if you need lots of codestones for your pet. It can get rather tedious though, for both the buying and the scratching, especially when done in bulk.
