Here. This is a 2nd part to my earlier 'shopping guide'. I really, really, really need to work on cutting down the size of these things... but they have all the important info you need to calculate your BT's and all that stuff.

The (Un)complicated Lives of the (Not-So) Simple Dot. (Or how to dumb down the AEQ math.)
Thought I’d share with you how I dumb down the complicated math for figuring out training and AEQ finishing. I mean, you can go crazy and burn a few brain cells trying to calculate all this stuff sometimes. So I wanted something stupidly simple to work with for my not-so-math-oriented brain to work with. So here goes….
After you’ve gotten your last piece of AEQ from shopping (Note; if you’re building the math is uber simple folks. A max of 425 BT’s per piece to the finished product) it’s time to try and figure out WHEN to switch off of Multi-training to acquire enough BT’s to finish off the AEQ you have. Rather than go note taking nuts and calculator crazy, try this instead;
ONE piece of AEQ costs 300 BT’s to finish. So;
1 AEQ = 300 BT’s
2 AEQ = 600 BT’s
3 AEQ = 900 BT’s
4 AEQ = 1,200 BT’s
You get 6 BT’s per day from Light Training.
It takes 50 days of Light Training to get 300 BT’s.
So;
1 AEQ = 50 days
2 AEQ = 100 days
3 AEQ = 150 days
4 AEQ = 200 days
Training is constant as long as your dot is on a team. So are Training Points.
There are 56 days of Training per season so;
1 Season = 336 BT’s
2 Seasons = 672 BT’s
3 Seasons = 1008 BT’s
Don’t forget you get 8 days of training before final boosts and Plateau. That’s 48 BT’s if Light Training. I generally choose NOT to count those last days of training. Why? Because many times you need those to finish training a skill with OTHER types of training than Light training and I also like to have a cushion in case I somehow make a math mistake along the way.
However, if you don’t make mistakes then that’s 1,092 BT’s in THREE seasons (plus the 8 days) of Light Training.
Also there are 280 days in the life of a dot before it hits Plateau.
SPECIAL NOTE! A dot does NOT age during the OFF SEASON and PRE SEASON! That’s 16 days per season of dot’s life. Also make sure you’re considering this when doing the AEQ/Training math when considering WHAT AGE to stop Multi-training and make the switch.
Also you will have BT’s IN POCKET as well to consider when calculating the day to switch. The more you have, the longer you can keep Multi-training because the less (BT’s) you will need. This also goes for those of you that ENHANCE AEQ as you go along… SO;
1 Enhancement = 30 BT’s
2 Enhancements = 60 BT’s
3 Enhancements = 90 BT’s
4 Enhancements = 120 BT’s
Ect, ect, ect… 30 BT’s for every enhancement.
So be sure to deduct all remaining BT’s PLUS add up all enhancements before calculating final numbers to arrive at the time when you should make the switch from Multi-training to Light Training.
That is what I was thinking as well.
