Erm dude, the barrack boosting is for the production of troops, and not for shorten the upgrade time of the barrack.Quote:

So lets say it cost 75 gems to boost troops but it would cost let's say 50 to finish the upgrade time, which would be more effective?Quote:

I mean the maxing resources isn't the problem but lets say you have a day left on a barracks upgrade, I was just wondering at what point it become more cost effective just to instant finish it
the answer is 7.
Oh... chey.Quote:

Yes , but boosting however if your on for the full 45 mins is the better than instant finishing. It boost production by like 25 percent I believeQuote:

You can speed up the training times of troops with gems and there is also an ability to boost troop production for 45 minutes. The boost option costs 25 gems and will increase the speed of the boosted barracks by 4 times.
But i don't like how it only boost one barrack, which will screw up your barrack distribution.
Here are some reference thread for you to read up
Link 1: http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...ixirs-Barracks
Link 2: http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...sting+barracks
It boosts troop production by 4x
If you boosted 3 barracks foe 45 min you would produce 1620 Barbs instead of 405.
On that same note, to produce 1620 barb, it would take 4 barracks 135 min at regular speed.
But at what point does it become beneficial to just instant finish the barrack?Quote:

3 boosted barracks will produce 3x as many troops in the same time as 4 not boosted ones.Quote:

I don't really find the question interesting at all but since I'm already here... Well no, I won't compute for that but boosting would work for me more especially if I am farming and with pure gobs in queue. Just one barracks though, not all 3.
Well at beginn I rush my townhall to lvl 9 to early I use lots gems to boost barracks but since 4 month ago I don't use it more ;), I play normaly because almost my upgrades building need days and ->2 weeks to finish :)
I need just around 2-3 day from raid to refill my storage to 8mio
I think his question makes some sense, if you have a pile of gems and you can pick between boosting three barracks or insta finishing the one being upgraded you would want to select the option that nets the most troops per gem, which sounds like the boosting option. So from that perspective it is apples to apples since finishing the barracks construction with gems does increase troop production.Quote:

Logically that's the smartest thing to do, and this is what I do as well.Quote:
