HelicanV 1 Report post Posted June 6, 2014 Convertible RP, Silver Lions, Gold Eagles. I get that you can buy Lions and Eagles with $$. Eagles are used for pay-to-not-grind. What are the relationship between lions and RP? I have 1600 RP, but when i try to research something the yellow slider-bar appears (empty) then it asks me to buy it with eagles. I also have another module that is half way researched but hasn't moved further in research #s at all. This is very confusing.

Spuds_McHaggis 899 Report post Posted June 6, 2014 RP is free research that can be used on anything with the cavet that you have to pay GE's to use it. So RP's are there for those who are willing to pay to lessen the grind. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_wolf 760 Report post Posted June 6, 2014 when playing you have 3 RP types: modules RP (used for researching modules on planes/tanks/boats) vehicule RP (used for researching vehicules) "free" RP (used to accelerate vehicule research) on monies you have two types: silver lions (gain by playing the game, used for buying vehicules, training, expert your crew, repair and rearm, more crew slots up to 5) gold eagles (real monies, used for buying premium vehicules, XP for crew, bonuses(talisman/2nd plane), premium, modules, "free" RP, more crew slots from 5 to?) when you play the game, you gain RP and lions by your actions (taking off, landing, hits, destroying targets, assists, ect) when the game end, your lions and RP are given to you with this repartition for the RP first, the vehicule research, with a research bonus fonction with the tier gap between the vehicule played and the one researched, wich is maximal for vehicules with 1 tier difference then the modules research, approx 1/4 of the vehicule research then the "free" RP if you don't want to grind your favorite plane, you can use the "free" RP by buying it with GE (i don't recommend it at all, the RP/ge convertion is a bad joke), you just have to click on the "free" RP button,choose the amount, then click "convert" and bam! research progressed. (but again, the RP/ge convertion does not worth it) the only planes you need ge for them, are the premiums (yellow in the research tree) i can strongly recommend you to save your ge for them, or for premium time 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spuds_McHaggis 899 Report post Posted June 6, 2014 hasn't been called free xp for quiet some time guys, it's called convertible XP. Well, if you want to get technical about what it is called, it is actually called "convertible research points." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
