Hi all, so I have about 150,000 XP sitting on my KCG. With the current sale is it a good idea to spend some MC to convert this over to GXP?

Cheers

Absolutely. That's what these sales are for. Youo get 50 GXP per 1 MC. Instead of the normal 25.

Everyone waits for the XP sale, and does their conversion then. On the other hand, you have 150,000 XP that you will otherwise not be using on ANYTHING. So might as well put them to good use.

Pretty much if you need to unlock a lot of modules. Or if you just don't want to grind out XP on your next mech. Then go for it.

He's also correct. Although I would advise against using GXP to unlock skills on mechs. Unless you're fed up with it, or you have no modules to unlock.

Just make sure not to spend the GXP to unlock mech skills -- that's a huge waste, unless of course you don't like that specific variant and just want to speed it up to date so you can get elites on another variant.

No it isn't. Play CW. You will generate TONS of GXP, as well as get a ton from achieving faction rank

Remind me of the last time you generated 50,000 GXP in one day of CW matches. Hell, I'll humor you, and say you get 200 GXP per drop, every drop. You still need 250 CW drops to get to 50K. Or, I could use all that useless mech XP, and convert it into GXP. It would cost me 1000 MC to get 50K GXP, more than anyone needs for most unlocks. (Adv. Seismic + Radar Dep + Advanced Zoom + loads of weapon mods)

Thanks all. Well I spent around 5000 mc and after buying a lot of modules (I think I have around 80% of the IS weapon modules and quite a few of the other mech modules) I now have around 160,000 gxp. I also spent around 40mil c-bills on said modules. Now I have 0 mc and around 3 mil c-bills but I think it was a great deal. Now I need to grind those c-bills back.

Cheers

I'd say it depends on how much GXP you actually still need and how badly you want those unlocks, not to mention how likely you think it is that you'll spend your MC or cash on something else in the near future.
I myself converted about 100K because I had plenty of MC left. This got me every single unlock I actually want, leaving about 120K GXP worth of near useless weapon modules and unlocks for some modules I already have the limited version of.

I used a lot of MC to convert during 2x conversion promos cause those modules are delicious. I also admittedly dumped quite a bit into mechs I didn't want to bother leveling.
