Assumptions

1. Max AB F2p: 285 for 2200 points.
2. Max AB for subscription: 1,040 and Legendary Parcel Upgrade (LPU) for 2500 points. 300 points valued at $0.29 per month (30X, 1 badge) max and $0.075 per month max (1 badge) to receive LPU and use it on a common. AB valued at 104 AB per dollar max.
3. Valuation is calculated based on assuming you reach 2200 points to accumulate all the AB for f2p or premium. Divide achieved points accumulation by 2200 and multiply by the total AB (285 for f2p and 1325 for premium; premium includes f2p unless otherwise stated).
4. If you do not reach 2200 points at the end of the month, your AB valuation will be lower to drastically lower, depending on how far you got.
5. I put parcel buying at the end because it’s easier to evaluate its value once I’ve calculated all the other activities.

Book Travel

1. A single booking will net you 150 points. This could be a game-changer at the higher tiers for AB valuation, especially at the higher tiers.
2. Subsequent bookings are valued higher, at 180, 200, and 250, respectively.

Achievability: This depends a lot on your travel plans and the min/max cost to savings compared to other options.

Realistic points to AB value: 0-150 points for 0 to 1 bookings. Valued at 0 to 19 AB (90 AB for premium) for tiers 0 to 1.

Max points to AB value: 780 points. Valued at 101 AB (469 AB for premium).

Realistic accumulation: 0 to 150 points.

Minigames

1. There are five minigames: Racer, Fishing, Golf, Warship, and Bowling.
2. Each minigame appears a minimum of twice per month, and often three times per month.
3. Minigame plays and wins only have three tiers. You must play 19 matches and win 16 matches per minigame to unlock all the available points.

Achievability: It should be fairly simple to play 19 matches per minigame per month. You can lose every match and Mulligan your losses to recover AB. However, you’ll need to win 16 matches per event per month to unlock the third tier. This is still easily doable if you are decent at the minigames.

Realistic points: 300-675 points, with 19 plays and 0 to 19 wins for all minigames.

Max points to AB value: 675. Valued at 87 AB (406 AB for premium).

Realistic accumulation: 300 to 825 points.

AMP Missions

1. International cannot participate (yet).
2. Requires money to purchase items to receive AB and complete a mission.
3. Can complete the same mission multiple times.
4. Don’t forget to activate your mission before purchasing. Also, keep your receipt in case there’s an issue.
5. It’s possible to complete the mission and not receive credit in time for your rewards. Do not depend on purchases during the last 5 to 7 days of the month for points.

Achievability: One purchase a month is easily doable. One purchase per week is doable. 10-20 takes a bit more dedication and a lot of spending.

Realistic points: International is 0. Womp womp. USA is 320 points, if you do one AMP purchase per week. Less if you do 0 to 1.

Max points to AB value: International is still 0. USA is 880 points. Valued at 114 AB (530 AB for premium).

Realistic accumulation: 300 to 1145 points.

Atlas Arcade

1. I’m going to assume that each sub-goal within an offer counts as a “goal”.
2. If so…easiest path is to choose a few time-based offers and push them to an hour to achieve the sub-goal. This is easily doable for most people.
3. If not…Atlas Reality will need to define what they mean by a “goal”.

Realistic points: 365 points. You just need to do a few time-based offers each month.

Max points to AB value: 365 points. Valued at 47 AB (219 for premium)

Realistic accumulation: 665 to 1510 points.

Redeem Virtual Rent into AB ($1)

1. VR is Virtual Rent.
2. Total of $1, $4, $12, and $24 conversion required for each level.
3. If possible, save for 33 AB per dollar.
4. Useful if you’re a few points short of achieving the final tier. For example, if you’re 30 points short of reaching 2200 points, you can spend $1 to receive 33 AB + 70 AB for reward level 14 (+250 AB for premium). That’s 103 AB for $1 (283 AB for the same $1 and also protect your $10 premium from devaluation).

Realistic points: It really depends on whether or not you need points and are willing to pay for them. I’ll mark this as 0 for this post.

Max points to AB value: 230 points. Valued at 29 AB (138 AB for premium). This will cost you $24 in rent.

Realistic accumulation: 665 to 1510 points. Add more if you are short.

Badges

1. Most people will need badges to reach 101 total.
2. Most badges are city badges. Fewer state and even fewer country.
3. Most people will buy the country only once, a few states, and several cities.
4. Counties, townships, and equivalent territory will count as city badges.
5. For the average person, 1 city badge a month is about right. I’m not counting state and country because those will be one time only. However, there will be a point for a small select few where these numbers will be 0. It might be worth saving state or country badge if you need the points.

Realistic points: 1 city badge per month. 25 points. 0 if you have 101 badges. Add more if you buy state or country badges.

Max points to AB value:

• 135 points for city. Must buy 10 city badges. Valued at 17 AB (81 AB for premium).
• 125 for state. Must buy 4 state badges. Valued at 16 AB (75 AB for premium).
• 25 for country. Must buy 1 badge. Valued at 3 AB (15 AB for premium).

Realistic accumulation: 665 to 1535 points. Add more if you are short.

Surveys

1. Must receive at least partial rewards for a survey to count.
2. 22 surveys is essentially 1 a day. That should be doable. The point valuation is high, so it’s worth pushing through the pain, especially for premium.

Realistic points: 385 points.

Max points to AB value: 565 points. Valued at 73 AB (340 AB for premium).

Realistic accumulation: 1050 to 1920 points.

Boost During SRB

1. Everyone can sacrifice some sleep to reach 45 hours boosted.

Realistic points: 40 points.

Max points to AB value: 40 points. Valued at 5 AB (24 AB for premium).

Realistic accumulation: 1090 to 1960 points.

Boost Not During SRB

1. 250 boosts is less than 10 per day.
2. SRB hours don’t count for this category.

Realistic points: 155 points.

Max points to AB value: 155 points. Valued at 15 AB (72 AB for premium).

Realistic accumulation: 1245 to 2115 points.

Purchase Parcels

1. It’s possible to accumulate 100 AB per day from ads. 50 AB for International. 50/25 is more realistic. That is 1500/750 AB per month in ads. Possible to reach 3000/1500 AB per month in ads.
2. If you do complete 22 surveys for the points, we’ll assume you failed 3 times a day, got 2 AB once for failing, and 10 AB per completed survey. That is 12 X 22, or 264 AB from surveys per month.
3. We’ll assume that you broke even on minigames since you would have ran Mulligans on losses and win enough AB to pay for your win expenses.
4. We’ll also assume that you received 50 AB from Atlas Arcade from the timed offers.
5. USA folks should easily buy 31 parcels in a month, possibly 71 completely f2p. 6 for International, possibly 31. However, I don’t recommend breaking tier before you’re ready just for points.

Realistic points: 130 (International) to 260 (USA).

Max points to AB value: 420 points. Valued at 54 AB (252 AB for premium).

Realistic accumulation: 1665 to 2535 points.

Totals

Realistic accumulation: 1665 to 2535 points.

Max accumulation: 3515 for International, 4395 points for USA.

The average person who workd at this should see 165 AB per month + 40 diamonds (755 AB for premium, 59 extra AB per dollar spent). Those who did a travel offer, played a few more minigames, or converted rent can achieve the max AB values.

Cheapest Path to 2200 Points

The cheapest way to achieve 2200 total points is to:

1. Avoid booking for travel. 0 points. 0 points total.
2. Play all the minigames. You decide how often to Mulligan. 16 wins and 19 plays is easily doable for people are are decent at them. You should have at least two plays for each minigame, three on most of them. 300 points for playing and 375 points for wins. 675 points total.
3. AMP Missions can be skipped or completed as needed. 675 points total.
4. Atlas Arcade. Get your 365 points. 1040 points total.
5. You’ll probably buy a badge. That’s 25 points for 1 city badge. If you get none, your total is still 1040 points.
6. You’ll need to get all your survey points. Complete or receive partial credit for 47 surveys for 565 points. 1605 total.
7. Boost during SRB. Get your 40 points. 1645 total.
8. Boost outside SRB. Get your 155 points. 1800 total.
9. Buy 71 parcels. 420 points. 2220 total.

You’ll need to buy additional badges or spend more money (which could include converting $24 in virtual rent for 230 points) to reach 2500 points for your unique badge or LPU.
