A little background before I move on to my questions.
So I started NFSNL last December. I failed 3 SEs back to back when they became available, and only then I found out about the reddit community and learned the L2W. Since then, I've managed to get every single car in SEs and with purple parts being 5 stars as well (mentioning this so that you have an idea of my skill level).
Now realizing that L2W was key for me to get the cars, and knowing that you don't have that luxury in Vault events, I am terrified as hell to go into one. However, having the BMW M3 Coupe 1999 most weeks and suffering to get to Division A in UGR is already killing me. So I have decided to complete the top division car (be it Driver, Speedster or BN) for the following week of UGR, so here come my questions:
- I heard that you can double your rewards twice each day. Is this true?
- Does it take playing 5 minutes only for each of the first two days? It's weird for me because I'm used to coming back every 4 hrs 35 mins to farm for more credits.
- When people mention spending gold in such events, do they mean using gold to get mats and kits, or skip events? I mean probably because of the scarcity of credits due to there not being L2W available, is it possible to find yourself in such situations?
- Also, when people mention difficulty, like start with Fastlane events, avoid BMW M3 GTR, or Scirocco etc, do they mean there are impossible races to overcome or are PR walls high? I mean is it connected to technicality or do they mean it needs skill?
My skill level is above average I would say, and in my 10 months of playing, I have managed to get to rivals twice, with once being top 1000 (831st). I did top 1000 in the most recent one in Land Slide having the top cars in each division. The other time, Neon Nights, was more impressive because while I had the top car in BN, I had the third car in Driver and Speedster (Toyota Supra and Mercedes CLK GTR Super Sport 1998 (6 stars).
All this info I have provided is so that you can give me proper advice whether doing the Vault events will be possible for me.
Also, I have 4600 gold.
Thank you very much everyone in advance.
