STEPN - Lvl 9 or 19?

STEPN is a Move 2 Earn game building on Solana and really getting into the communities eyes and minds. It's a very basic start to the game, you move for 10 minutes a day with an NFT of a pair of sneakers, and you earn $GST every day!
Today's video I discuss the statistics behind levelling to 9 or 19 before you save up to get your vault of sneakers increasing toward 3 and that magical 4.0 energy!

Can you store more than 30 sneakers in your spennding account or wallet combined together? I mean can one account own let’s say 31 sneakers?

[@solanagamingwithbarndog7348]

yes you can certainly

[@MySwagkills4fun]

GREAT STRATEGY!! Thanks mate

[@FCry0suke3S]

Thank you so much with these amazing videos that you do, love your work. You’re a godsend! Question: I’m new to the Stepn. I bought a waling shoe for about 10 Sol (level 5 that’s been minted 2/7). Base efficiency is 6.3 (21.3 leveled up) and resilience 5.2 (10.2 leveled up). I’ve still got 10 Sol left, should I keep leveling up my current walking shoe or buy a second one? Any suggestions is much appreciated, thanks!

[@solanagamingwithbarndog7348]

there's a bit to think about there, do you want ti mijt fir your third or buy that also. watch the 0 or 2 mint video may help

[@ToysandFun]

Smashed that like button big time Mate! I’m on 9 sneakers. Should I invest my GST into making one sneaker to Level 30 or minting to 15 sneakers first? Your advice is very appreciated 🙏🏻

[@dweinbeck]

i would recommend using the STEPN guide to provide estimated GST/day numbers to model out payback periods for both scenarios. The only unknown that makes this difficult is that with the extra mints you have a chance at an uncommon or an extra shoebox which would change the payback significantly. I personally am at 10 shoes and putting all my GST into minting new shoes before levelling up past the level 10 that i'm on

[@solanagamingwithbarndog7348]

remember level 28 is maximum atm, but I always think having sneakers at level 19 is a good level. Personally I think ppl levelling up to 28/30 is underestimated. It's not that bad to level up with your amount of sneakers.

Hi, I´m a new beginner and got myself a common walker. I´ve levelled up to 9 and spreading the points as the Stepn Guide recommends. But what is that Resilience Socket on top left corner good for that I can open for 10 GST?. What will that benefit me? In what sense.

[@PaulioNZ]

Hi there, thanks for yourr great videos & info. Towards the end of this vid at the 5 min mark you mention about making a video about the pros and cons of moving from a Level 9 strategy to a Level 19 strategy. Have you made this video yet, or will you be doing it sometime soon? I just got my first sneaker (a Runner) to Level 9 so am looking at the best way of proceeding from here. Thanks!

[@solanagamingwithbarndog7348]

Hi mate, sorry no. basically lvl 9 is a great stopover for 1 sneaker, 19 is a good stopover for 3 sneakers

[@PaulioNZ]

@@solanagamingwithbarndog7348 I've been reading your replies to the other questions in here so I think I'm good. Stop levelling up until I have saved enough to buy a 0 mint sneaker, then save up until I have enough to Mint a 3rd. Or invest more money to buy / mint quicker. My original runner is a 2mint.

[@dandush33]

To level up from 9 to 10 I need GST and GMT, is the latter purchased with Sol?

[@sethmina]

Heya Barndog! I’m excited to start very soon! Love your content! I do have 2 Questions though: 1.) If I keep using the sneaker, would I be able to stop at 9 and just earn GST for my next sneaker? 2.) Will it be a good strategy to just level up sneakers to 9 accumulate GST then follow the mint 0-1 mint strategy, to accumulate more sneakers. To eventually sell them To get uncommon sneakers? Cheers!

[@sethmina]

Sorry i meant to say 0-2 mint strategy

[@solanagamingwithbarndog7348]

yes it is a viable option, you can use a website to check of the potential in earning differences at level 19. try stepn.guide and do the specific information in that

[@solanagamingwithbarndog7348]

I like level 19 for 3 sneakers, if you plan it well you can play the MB game without overspending points in Luck as well, worth taking thw time to plan earlier as you're levelling

[@nikumair2761]

Hey Barndog, Thanks for your content & im gonna start pretty soon.. quick question, how much GST i need to upgrade from level 19 to 20.. Thanks

[@solanagamingwithbarndog7348]

80 GST to go to level - it's a special level so 4x the level

[@sbrocks965]

[@rickchen2081]

No luck past 3 days in discord. can I buy a pair somewhere and get an activation code?

[@abu.goldjunge]

so I'm brand new here and I wonder if I'm making a logic error? isn't it best if i buy a sneaker with efficiency ~70 and 2 more sneakers (no matter how much just to have 4 energy) and run only with this sneaker that has efficiency 70? to make as more gains as possible for the beginning? or can i not start with a sneaker lvl 19 at all?

[@solanagamingwithbarndog7348]

you cab do either, people will level and sell lvl 19 sneakers and usually add the cost to that sneaker as they may change their sneaker to a new one. You can work that out before searching proces etc

[@v93382]

Awesome content thank you! I’ve got one level 8 runner (2 mint) and am waiting for SOL network congestion to calm down so I can transfer my remaining 24 SOL to my acc Was thinking of buying 2 more sneakers for more energy/longer term earnings at that awesome 3 sneaker 4 energy point. Or would it be better to buy 1 (0 mint) sneaker and mint it with my current for my 3rd shoe?

[@solanagamingwithbarndog7348]

You can see the math required - if you mint off your runner, will cost you 250 GST if you buy a second sneaker with 0 mints - that's still a good option, and it would then mean you mint your 3rd, and set yourself up to do a 0/1 minting strategy as I talk about in another video

I've a question bro, What's the better strategy, like should i have 3 common shoes, Or 2 common and 1 un-common? 2nd. Should i level up just one shoe to 19 and remains the the other 2 to 5 level and run with that one 19 lvl? Or should i upgrading other 2 as well to 19?

[@soccerblox1291]

Brilliant content. I currently have 2 common jogger sneakers (0 mint) and 15 SOL. No more to invest. What would you say is best strat for me? Get both my shoes to level 5 and then mint a new one? Or buy another and then just level up my best pair and use that? Thanks man.

[@G..G..]

I think it would be cheaper to mint a 3rd shoe for 200 gst

[@solanagamingwithbarndog7348]

I agree on minting at 200 GST, you've now set yourself up superbly for the 0/1 mint flip strategy. You have a chance to hit an UC, Trainer or twins when you mint, and you may even miny an upgrade. you alsp dont nees to use all 15 SOL doing that

Who knows how long these coin prices will last and with 9 nfts and a level 19 earner you can do a new mint every 3-4 days making $1100 or just hoard the gst and convert to usdc.
