I calculate the break even points for the learning skills as:

  • level 1: 400k points learned ~ 10 days learning to have more points in the category than if you hadn’t learned anything
  • level 1-2: 610k points learned ~ 16 days learning to have more points in the category than if you had only learned level 1
  • level 1-3: 960k points learned ~ 24 days learning to have more points in the category than if you had only learned level 1 & 2 only
  • level 1-4: 2.6m points learned ~ 65 days learning to have more points in the category than if you had only learned level 1,2 & 3
  • level 1-5: 4m points learned ~ 90 days learning to have more points in the category than if you had only learned level 1,2,3 & 4

As long as you’re planning to stay in the game long term, the best way to catch up with everyone is to work out how many points you plan to spend in a category and invest in the relevant level of the learning skill on day 1. All the number
