How do I boost?

[Fajita Jim]

I have like 5,000 points, I've done all the qualifer tasks, but the graphics over the boost Icon just says to earn more points.

What am I missing?

If you have as many points as your max points, you can't boost/convert until you get more max points. You need to buy stuff to do that, or wait for the free 100 per day.

If your points boosted is met with your max points...there is no way to get more points unless you buy games. It's honestly stupid with what Valve did.

I have bought stuff. I haven't boosted/converted anything. I can't do anything. I'm trying to figure out how.

0 Points Boosted / 4,472 Max Points (?)

For points, just idle a game that you have achievements in for 30 minutes.

You basically get three numbers.

The site says something like "6,856 Points Boosted / 6,856 Max Points", which means I can't do anything today.

Above that, there's a larger number surrounded by text "Available points" and "ready to boost". If you still have capacity left you need to increase this to match, which can be done as I said and then using the "claim points" button there.

The other quests seem to be of the "bad joke" variety. Feel free trying to fill 4000 points with stuff like winning a match in some dumb multiplayer game for a whopping 10 points...

Yes, you need to then earn Available Points to be able to boost up to your max points. As described above.

So...you mean I have to earn points by spending but they're useless unless I do other things to get a different kind of points?

WTF VAlvE.

[Ebyl]

You have 0 available points. You need to earn them by idling games where you already have achievements or playing qualifying games to complete quests.

Where are the 5000 points you're talking about?

I was rounding.

[Ebyl]

He was looking at the max points (which is fairly close to 5k).

For crying out loud, have you even read anything on the page?

Check the Grand Prix Quests, especially the achievement section...

As we've said, you need to earn available points by idling games where you already have achievements or playing some qualifying games to complete quests. All that is explained on the race page.

Once you have available points, you can use them to boost up to the max points. Neither your boosted points or max points will reset each day, though - it's an event total. If you want to get more max points, you need to buy stuff (and you'll get 100 free max points a day).
