The SHOCKING Results of the Math Behind the Apprentice Builder...

Bro this is not a clash of clans channel this is a finance channel

Apprentice builder is good for fixing upgrade schedules. If I have an upgrade that is 5 days and 18 hours and seems to end in late night, I can just assign him to that building that aligns to my gaming hours.

There is also a not so obvious benefit to the apprentice. There is value in modifying finish time to when you will be able to play. For instance if something finishes when you just got asleep you 'waste' the whole night. But if you can speed it up and finish before bed, there will be no waste.

What else I'm gonna do with gems as a free-to-play player? Spend it on worthless skins? At least I'm getting something out of this builder over time.

I disagree with decreasing the price what they should do is scale the bonus and make it stronger

Just to be careful: Don't assign the apprentice builder to remove obstacles. He will work and sleep just after that. I tried 😅😅😅.

Me watching after spending 7000 gems

if 1-2 years to break even is too long for you, then you're playing the wrong game

6:23 Only 312 days? Most people I know have played for the past 3650 days, this is clash of clans we are talking about, people have been playing this game for over a decade.

The best way to describe it is that it's like buying a solar panel or a diesel car, high initial investment but long returns

I’ve been waiting ages for this omg 😭😭😭😭

Been waiting on your videos!!! Glad you are back! (Hope the studying went well!)

the one additional thing to consider is, that you have the flexability to use your apprentice builder on anything building related. It can give you the possibility to speed up a upgrade so that for example it does not end in the middle of the night, what would reduce your effective builder time and so the real value grows even more. So i defenetly think it is worthit

I did the same math, happy to see my calculation is correct... You gain a new subscriber buddy

I have logged on everyday before the AB and after it came out, I just maxed out TH11 going on to 12 and the AB has been one the best things I’ve bought so far in the game I only got it at level 3 so it only take 3 hours off everyday but when my upgrades are starting to take more than a day or two now some take a week / a bit more, to take 3h off everyday has been great help

You´re amazing! Love your videos!

Love your videos man, dont stop posting. You have a huge potential in ClashofClans Youtube

Considering the total price of 6.5k gems. If they would have just added new builder for 3.5k gems but would have been locked behind th13/th14 requirement. Then all this drama wouldn't have started in the first place. And cherry on the cake is that normal builder benefits from builder potions. In short AB has worst ROI than normal builder considered max level where it only reduces 1/3 day every 24hrs.

I got an idea, maybe the devs could add a Level Up system similar to Clan Perks and Level, the more u use it the more the exp more bar will fill😊

The other thing is for most players you can't get on during the exact time the upgrade finishes to start a next one or you might not have enough loot. So the builder sits there doing nothing anyway and the apprentice took away his value. So to use him efficiently you want to do some mental gymnastics on when you are playing and whether the upgrade will finish early enough or late enough to hit that time period. Players don't wanna do that. But it does help in that way to give more efficiency to upgrades based on when you are playing. So its value isn't set in stone, just about when you use him. Heck if you max him out and you have an hour to play but a building has up to 9 hours left, that shortens it to 1 hour and you can get that builder up to the next one without wasting his value. Honestly I'm trying to level him for the maxed account aspect... but as a th13 I will never get there.
