The GST token rate still does not want to turn to stable growth. Meanwhile, users continue looking for ways to earn money in STEPN. In the long run, one way to make money is to level up your sneakers to level 30. Today we will discuss whether it is worth doing or not.
Why download to level 30?
At the time of this writing, the GST rate is $0.056. This is negligible compared to a couple of months earlier. And the first way to solve the problem of low income at this point is to increase the level of STEPN. This is beneficial for several reasons:
1. Pharm GMT
In the future, GMT token farming will be available in the game, which is more sustainable and valuable since it has a limited supply. You can now ensure that you are one of the first to earn GMT as soon as such an opportunity appears in STEPN.
2. More income
A straightforward truth works here: the higher the level, the higher the earnings. Accordingly, now you can spend the earned GST on upgrading sneakers to farm more GST per day with the same sneakers in the future. If the token rises in price by this time, you will only remain in the black in this situation.
3. Free HP Recovery
With the latest update, STEPN introduced a health bar and HP points. Health restoration is a paid service. But at level 25, each player has the opportunity to replenish the health bar for free. This is a very profitable option that is worth taking advantage of.
Leveling cost
In one of our articles, you can read more about pumping sneakers. Recall that the cost is equivalent to the level to which you upgrade the sneaker in GST tokens. With some exceptions:
Having carried out simple mathematical calculations, you can determine how much it will cost you at STEPN 30.
Tier 0 → Tier 30 = 600 GST + 257 GMT
Tier 9 → Tier 30 = 550 GST + 247 GMT
Tier 19 → Tier 30 = 385 GST + 217 GMT
Buy or upgrade yourself?
A perfectly reasonable question. And really, why download sneakers by spending so many tokens if you can immediately buy NFT level 30 and enjoy life? And again, we did some simple mathematical calculations for you.
The following current rates were used for calculations:
GST = $0.056
GMT = $0.965
SOL = $42.41
In such scenarios, pumping a sneaker to level 30, as well as the cost of buying it, will be about $330. But to buy a level 30 sneaker is about $200.
But do not rush to choose the most pumped NFT; some disadvantages are hiding here. The fact is that there are very few instances of such a high level with unallocated points in the marketplace. Previously, when pumping sneakers, attention was mainly paid to two attributes: efficiency and comfort. After all, it is they who influence the competent farm of GST.
Now luck began to matter because each user gets mystery boxes. And the higher the luck, the higher the level of the chest and the more excellent the gifts. And even more critical was the attribute of comfort. After all, this value directly affects the degree of wear of the HP of your sneaker.
Also, many users correctly notice that the creators of STEPN have promised more than once to introduce the function of redistributing points before GMT farming. But no one knows if this procedure will be free. On the contrary, many assume its cost will be much higher than one might think.
So, it might be much more profitable to buy sneakers now and upgrade them yourself, distributing points as you see fit. Or even leave the points until better times. The choice, as always, is yours.
