Hi everyone. A breaking news style update here. We noticed early this morning, that Powercubes would recycle at different values. The table below shows the changes.
| Level | Old | New |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20 XM | 1,000 XM |
| 2 | 40 XM | 2,000 XM |
| 3 | 60 XM | 3,000 XM |
| 4 | 80 XM | 4,000 XM |
| 5 | 100 XM | 5,000 XM |
| 6 | 120 XM | 6,000 XM |
| 7 | 140 XM | 7,000 XM |
| 8 | 160 XM | 8,000 XM |
As you can see the powercube recycle value matches that of its use value. Which allows you to bulk recycle them in capsules to get large XM returns. However, the more interesting part is below.
There is a new item on its way.
Boosted Power Cube
Sponsor name unknown
The true power of this item will be revealed by the new APK release, which is probably looming closer daily. We are using server-side values to produce this information. I will provide the real values and what I inferred at all times.
I first spotted the following new values
- boostedPowerCubeCapacityByLevel
- BOOSTED_POWER_CUBE
- extraXmTankEnergy.
So let us take those one at a time. We start off with a table of the boostedPowerCubeCapacityByLevel array
| Level | Cube Capacity |
|---|---|
| 1 | 15, 000 XM |
| 2 | 16, 875 XM |
| 3 | 18, 750 XM |
| 4 | 20, 625 XM |
| 5 | 22, 500 XM |
| 6 | 24, 375 XM |
| 7 | 26, 250 XM |
| 8 | 28, 125 XM |
| 9 | 30, 000 XM |
| 10 | 32, 000 XM |
| 11 | 34, 000 XM |
| 12 | 36, 000 XM |
| 13 | 38, 000 XM |
| 14 | 40, 000 XM |
| 15 | 42, 000 XM |
| 16 | 44, 000 XM |
This shows us that this item has a “capacity” based on your level vs a recharge value like cubes.
Second, we have the value BOOSTED_POWER_CUBE. This is just values for recycling this item. This field exists for every other item in the game. So once a new entry shows up in this list, chances are a new item is on the horizon. So if you wanted to recycle this new item you would get 160 XM.
Finally, we have extraXmTankEnergy. This value is in the same section as energy. This means this new value sits programmatically in the same area as your current energy (xm). This is a good guess that there will be an extra tank of XM energy connected to the Boosted Power Cube.
