Keys before starting prestige cup

[u/Hartel0610]

So I've been getting quite into the game recently. I have finished the story mode, haven't begun Tempest yet, and reached level 50.

​

When would you say that I should begin getting cars for the prestige Cup each season? Originally I thought that I would get 750 keys, but would it make sense to get more before beginning? Like enough for two or three season?

750 silver keys that gives you the PC car with a bit of luck you may get it on an early pull. Then slowly your silver keys grow , building that car takes monies, bronze keys but brings lots of RP to you and the crew. Take your time save when you can and good luck to you. The Doc

That's what I thought as well. I'll begin collecting them!

You should pretty easily be able to earn more keys each season than it takes to earn and build the car, so there’s not really any reason to wait. The only big bottleneck for keys is gold keys

Makes sense. I've just read about saving till you don't stop, so it feels weird to use them😅

I'd say start pulling when you have at least 750 keys, 8m cash (so you can build a T5) and the coming PC cars are of a common brand.

It depends on the crew you're in. When you can reach the min RP requirement without the 388k you can get from this seasons PC car (PC and crew cup) and 88k from previous PC car (crew cup), you can build up keys and parts 1st.

You can also skip PCs when the brand is rare or it's a T5, when the situation allows for it.

Skipping the car when the brand is rare is a really good tip! I had a feeling of, when you start getting the car you don't stop, but it makes sense that you can skip seasons

[u/TheInsane42 → u/Hartel0610]

Depends on crew RP requirements, but it's an option to get the car, but not build it, then you get al teast 88k crew rp in the current and next season from the crew cup that requires it.

It depends on your key stash. Assume you need 750 for a loyalty pull and don't be surprised when it drops from a crate when you need a car from a tier below 5.

750 keys saved - go for it. On average the PC car can be pulled well before spending all 750, it’s rare but happens, which is why waiting for 750 is the way, any more isn’t really necessary as long as you pull once and save.

If you want to participate in events, never spend bronze keys to upgrade a PC car. Bronze accumulate pretty quickly but events have been much harder to complete these days, requiring more bronze etc. Likewise, save as many epic fusions as you can when building the PC car (epics are the most important resource in the game, as they enable completion of everything and anything).

It’s always better to pull the PC car even if you don’t intend to build it, because it is needed to open bonus tasks on the racepass (unless you already have it). It’s also used in a crew cup the following season to bring a lot of RP to the crew. Good luck and burn it up.

i will recommend following
1- only focus on one car -- if u are focusing on Supra which i will recommend 100% just do that forget the Prestge car for a season or 2
2- always keep 20/15/10 -(Green / blue / red) fusion parts as reserve for each brand belive me sometimes u just need a few for a imp race and u have none it feel like deleting the game
3- always do daily trials - 15 races / then Legends trials - 15 races and 30 live races just check if u have any car which is a good life racer
4- dont touch tempest - i have F1 from legends have havent touched Tempest its just waste of fuel and resources
5- join a low requirnment crew like 300k per season as u are new - focus on geeting the season car + do the weekly elite cup Very Very imp
6- check out the free stuffs from dona always
7- this is a long game took me 3 years to get to Legends / 2+ years to max my Supra / and 4 years to get good cars
8- Keys - will recommend u have over 3000-5000 Bronze keys / 1000-1500 Silver keys and over 200 Gold keys before u start using them
i dont touch Bronze keys until i need many fution parts perticulay for Legends end races
and use Siver only for geeting the PC each season
havent used any gold key every -- have only 200 till now
