How/where to get Merits/JNs/Cogbucks...

[HthrNoa]

I know this informaiton is probably listed somewhere - - - but I cannot find it. I am wondering if anyone knows the best ways to earn Merits/JNs/Cogbucks. For instance, how many Merits can be earned in the factory (short vs. long run)? How many Cogbucks can be earned in each of the various mints...also, how is it that the coin mint is not always the same? Sometimes it has more cog battles in it than other times? My son and I are finally getting busy with battling the Cog HQ's and this information would be very helpful! Thanks!

By the way, we only got interested in making repeated runs after we learned about the CCG.

You Guys Are Great!!!
Thank you from,

Hi there and welcome to ccg! I was in CJ with you yesterday and you both did great! Let me try to take your post in order so I can best help you.

Merits:
Short factory A (side entrance, both sides of pipe room, warehouse, silos) = 260 merits (520 merits in invasion)
Short factory B (front entrance, lobby room, gear room, warehouse, silos) = 240 merits (480 merits in invasion)
Full Factory = 388 merits (776 in invasion)

Cogbucks:
There is an excellent thread that details all of the various mint floors. Each floor will always be different and barrels change each time you enter. If you forget to view what floor you are on at the very beginning, you can press F2 and it will show you a bunch of jibberish. Pay attention to the "Floor ID" but take note... you need to ADD ONE to the floor ID since Floor 1 is Floor ID 0. So, Floor ID 7 would actually be Floor 8, etc.

To determine the amount of cogbucks received, the mint map on this page tell you non-invasion amounts, but to get your invasion amounts, just double the number and subtract 20. The cogs add up to a particular amount but then Disney gives you 20 bonus bucks for completing the mint. Invasions do not double the bonus bucks.

To make it a little easier, here is the breakdown of bullion mints:
Floors 1, 4, 7, 10, 11, 12, 15, 17 = 752 bucks (1484 invasion)
Floors 2 & 20 = 611 bucks (1202 invasion)
Floors 3 & 19 = 683 bucks (1346 invasion)
Floors 5, 13, 14, 16 = 677 bucks (1334 invasion)
Floors 6 & 9 = 758 bucks (1496 invasion)
Floor 8 = 617 bucks (1214 invasion)
Floor 18 = 674 bucks (1328 invasion)

Jury Notices:
There are no maps and there are no "floors" like in mint. If you press F2, it will tell you a floor ID but it is just like what floor you would be on in a building. The DA offices will change each time you enter, but the amount of notes you receive is always the same.

Office A (3 floors) = 283 notes (489 invasion)
Office B (4 floors) = 472 notes (794 invasion)
Office C (5 floors) = 687 notes (1145 invasion)
Office D (6 floors) = 924 notes (1542 invasion)

Dizzy covered pretty much everything. Here's a link to a thread detailing different factory runs you can do and the amounts you will receive.

Master Weaselgadget is excited about seeing his name on the computer, he is scouring the run results watching for our names! We are busy getting ready for another set of runs today...hence this topic. Thank you all for your help! Hope to see you on runs soon (off we go to get another couple hundred JNs and Cogucks)...

The run is buried back a page in the Saturday Victory thread... here is a link just for Master Weaselgadget.
