Fast Tech Tree Grind (2025): Research and XP Efficiency

Planning Your Grind

• Pick 1–2 lines at a time: avoid diluting boosters and mental focus.
• Session blocks: run 60–90 minute focused windows when reserves are active.
• Module research first: target gun/engine upgrades that swing battles; avoid wasting XP on modules you’ll replace quickly.

Tip: Set a minimum net credits threshold per session; if profits dip, switch to credit farms before continuing the grind.

Missions, Events & Boosters

• Stack correctly: premium time + personal reserves + clan reserves + event multipliers.
• Prioritize XP boosters: +100%/+200% XP and +300% Free XP during focused play.
• Weekly/daily objectives: align your grind with recurring missions to compound rewards.

Best Tiers to Grind

• Tier 5: cheap, great for crew training and mechanics reps.
• Tiers 6–8: best overall for speed + rewards without expensive shells/repairs.
• Tier 9: excellent for steady progress on strong, credit‑friendly picks.

Crew & Field Mods

• Repairs first on brawlers: keep guns online; then BiA and role perks.
• Vision packages: Recon + Situational Awareness help hit 445m; stack with Optics/Vents.
• Field Mod picks: choose dispersion and mobility options that reduce outliers in stock grinds.

Credit Budgeting

• Favor profitable tanks between grind steps to refill the wallet.
• Limit premium consumables unless you’re on a key push session.
• Track net income; if negative 3 games in a row, rotate to credit farm setups.

When to Use Free XP

• Use on guns/engines that unlock core tank identity (timing, pen, DPM).
• Skip modules/tanks that are notorious roadblocks only if time is your constraint.
• Don’t zero out Free XP; keep a buffer for surprise stock traps.
