Who has the best strategy for highest IPH, please tell us in this specific thread!

[Jinxybear]

Nightclubs? Diamond Grillz? 8Hr buildings? We need an updated thread on this.

[madnoob]

Personally id suggest 12 and 24hr buildings. If you're starting with a low iph upgrade killer condos they're cheap and pay pretty well. Stick to type a buildings ltb only imo. This is just my strategy and my iph is 44m at level 155

[mxz]

Nightclubs!

[Dipstik]

Make sure your mafia has enough Henchmen. If you don't have at least 1 Henchman per building, you lose an extra 20% cash every time you're robbed.

Lmfao... I miss the henchmen posts.

[Dipstik]

Yeah, new players probably don't even know the importance anymore...

[1Shot]

Dismond grillz is the highest IPH building.

[Nighteg]

The new LTB (underground casino) has the best IPH in the game.

[Thatkidyouknow]

Yeah, new players probably don't even know the importance anymore...
Henchmen are overpowerd

[Jason_Bourne]

Then why won't you tell us more about it? (please!)

[montecore]

Movie Theaters > Lofts > Night Clubs to 10

Great LTBs, if you have them:

Pagodas
Diamond Grillz
That beat up church that just ended

From there, it comes down to how good a collector you are. Most people are able to collect 24s and 12s regularly.

It also depends if you actually want "a high IPH" or high income. Some buildings, like laundromats, will add quite a bit to your IPH but you won't be collecting them the 480 times they come up per day.

[Evan1000]

I've built my first nightclub, upgrading my first underground casino to level two, almost done building a second and am gonna build my second nightclub after it's finished. Plan on bringing my first to L5. This it's going to skyrocket my IPH :D

[montecore]

upgrade your first casino to level 2 before building the second one.

[Evan1000]

Some buildings, like laundromats, will add quite a bit to your IPH but you won't be collecting them the 480 times they come up per day.

I've had all those buildings at 10.. even the gun shops which are probably the worst for IPH in the game

[montecore]

This thread reminds me of a time when the game was very, very different. Before mxz's heart turned black. Before Gree took over from Funzio.

[Evan1000]

upgrade your first casino to level 2 before building the second one.

I'm doing both at once, don't want to waste any time with these because I want to start collecting from them ASAP so I can afford to bring it to L5 lol

[montecore]

Cliff notes from a guy who sucks at math: Basically there are two types of buildings in the game. Type A, and type B. One follows a fibonacci pattern (type B) and the other follows a triangle pattern (type A). Type A buildings are far superior as the income basically triples instead of doubling with each upgrade.

Nightclubs are the single best Type A building in the game, that isn't an LTB. Get them, upgrade them, collect them, and the rest is easy.

[My2cents]

NCs are best by far. Even though they are no longer the best iph building around they are the cheaper of the high ones. Always be upgrading something. When saving for high cost buildings upgrade buildings that you can easily replace the money spent during the upgrade time.

If you can afford it at least purchase the LTBs. That will provide a basis for a later time when you can afford it and they release cheap LTBs.

[therealbengie]

time to get slated again, NightClubs are a BS waste of time now, super long and expensive upgrades for a relatively poor payout, yes they boost the iph on your profile but in reality are far less worthwhile than a good 12/24 LTB.

some of my buildings and they're payout

L7 NC 9.3mil
L6 Mikes tattoo 17.3mil
L7 shooters gun shop 16.3mil
L9 diamond grillz 54.6mil
L8 tsar's teahouse 52.4 mil
L8 sparky's fireworks 20.7mil

without mods my next NC upgrade is ~1.5bil and ~145hours, that's 6 days!


bottom line is I make a shed load more money from my 8's, 12's and 24's than my NC.

[FlyMeMoon]

I managed to get a decent IPH without bothering with NCs. Its only now with 2 upgrades that Im updating them but agree that the upgrade times are ridiculous. It doesn't mean to say that they are not effective as they have worked for many people.

Montecore made a very good point before, high IPH is one thing, high income is another. Its about what you collect at the end of the day.

The best building for me is the Diamond Grillz based on income and collect times. Its very affordable compared to other LTBs and I was surprised how low they were to upgrade so have them both at 10. If you have this building concentrate on upgrading them to bump up your income.

Homophobia isn't cool, man.

[PhantomNine]

The problem with the old buildings including the ever beloved nightclub is the time it takes to upgrade. Unbelievably long!

Agreed, neither is hemophilia

[Weasel]

It's not exactly a strategy, but here are a few tips to keep in mind.

1. Select tycoon as your starting class or upgrade to goodfella for however much gold it costs these days (150g back in the day).
2. Always have something upgrading. Preferably something worthwhile, but options at the start are limited.
3. Don't invest much time, if any, upgrading buildings you think you might sell in the future.
4. Do collect your buildings on time. Use a timer/alarm clock if necessary. (Losing cash to robbers is no big deal, but keeping everything your buildings produce makes the IPH game that much easier.)
5. Build an LTB if you can afford it. Don't worry if you can't afford to upgrade it yet.
6. Regarding stock buildings, if you don't want to bother yourself with a lot of math, planning, and maybe even spreadsheets, a fairly reliable rule of thumb is to do the longest upgrade and/or most expensive upgrade available to you. There will be exceptions to the "rule" and they will depend on factors that can vary from one person to the next.
7. If you don't need to sell a building, don't.
8. Try not to expand your hood more than you need to. Expansions are expensive. If you run out of space it might be OK to sell buildings, but it might also be a better idea to just buy the expansion. Plan ahead and don't take any action without first giving it careful thought.
9. Rob people. It's nearly impossible to replace having your own IPH just by robbing others, but it is a fun way to earn a little extra on the side. Having a little extra never hurt anyone.
​10. Pay yourself first. Syndicate bonuses are great and it takes teamwork to buy them all, but things happen. If you give too much to your syndicate it is more difficult to build yourself up, and in the event that you decide to leave your syndicate, or worse, your membership is revoked, you could find yourself donating all over again with a different crew.

problem is if you are extremely careful with your income per hour you're going to run into more leeches then you can rob, although I can find somebody to rob if I am persistent it usually takes 20 minutes to half an hour to find somebody that has better income than me on my level with my stats

If you collect your buildings on time it doesn't really matter where you leave a link. Suppose your only building is a Pawn Shop and you use an alarm to collect it at the same time every day. You are almost in complete control over how often it gets robbed. Maybe you forget about it and also miss your alarm, or you complete an upgrade causing the building cycle to come due at a time that is not convenient for you to collect, or you are busy with real life and decide to let it be robbed. In any of those scenarios, the only time your Pawn Shop can get robbed is when you let it get robbed.

I don't care too much when I get robbed its not a big issue for me its pretend money and I have a real life this game is not the most important thing in the world

A lot of people use timers in this game and it's not a bad strategy, but personally, I never use timers. If I ever get to a place where collecting my buildings is so important that I have to use a timer, that's when I will call it quits, because that is a clear sign that the game is now more important than real life...

The quickest way to build iph is to be effective at robbing. It might not be the most popular answer but if your funds are limited it is impossible to upgrade.

Rivals list is great for some but hosed others

[Dipstik]

Yes, but I'm guessing OP is not part of our elite club.

[Green Drake]

That can be debated. My iph is higher than most on my rivals list. I have zero issues finding people to rob. Difference is I don't mind leaving a link to someone with a lower iph.

[Dipstik]

It's less about leaving a link and more about wasting my time. The more you make an hour just by logging in a couple days and collecting your own buildings, the less exciting it gets to slog through a bunch of rivals hoping to find someone's 12s or 24s uncollected.

To each his own. I believe I could log on right now and easily rob 200 mill in ten minutes. But I don't limit myself to 12s and 24s.

[Dipstik]

I call BS, but claim whatever you like. Everyone knows exactly what I'm talking about, and the point remains the same... if you make 200 million every two or three hours WITHOUT wasting ten minutes clicking through hoods, why bother?

[Green Drake]

Lol just because you are incapable or unwilling to do it certainly does not mean it can't be done.
And to answer your question. Why not do it? The same question could be asked why you bother to play the game as all. Why are you concerned with finishing the raid bosses? Why do you bother to build IPH? Just part of the fun in playing crime city.

[Dipstik]

I find robbing tedious, and its value goes down as the ratio of robs/income goes down. The first clause is obviously personal opinion, and if you disagree, then feel free to rob if you enjoy it for its own sake. The second clause is indisputable.

The value has zero to do with the actual ratio expressed above. The value is in enjoying a game.
And quick update. Took me 15 mins but I just got 439 mill. You can believe what you want.

To each their own, but just because a timer would mean you personally care about the game more than real life does not necessarily mean the same for others. There are any number of reasons why someone would need to use an alarm throughout the day, and if using one to make regular collections is something they choose to fit into their schedule it says absolutely nothing about the rest of their life.

@Green Drake, everyone knows you love robbing. Good for you. Considering how time consuming it is though, I would never refer to robbing as the "quickest" way to build anything. Read Dippy's posts a few more times until you understand what he is saying.

[Dipstik]

You said your second clause was indisputable, however it is merely your opinion that the value decreases.

No... it's really not. Unless you're prepared to somehow argue that as the relative value of a robbery decreases, the overall utility gained from robbing goes up... are you?

[Green Drake]

The actual monetary value of any rob in crime city is zero, as is our iph. Aside of from obvious fact that it is fictitious money the only real value here is the enjoyment one garners from playing. I could be wrong but it seems to me that you are trying to apply real world principals here.

Please PM me your ingame name and level :D

[therealbengie]

robbing 200 mil is 10-15min is easy as long as you are willing to throw gold at stamina refills, you must have a super high iph to have the relevant rivals come up to pay such decent amounts. my iph is above average but not crazy and its only once in a blue moon that such a rob comes up, its nothing to do with skill or persistence, its luck and you cannot create luck.

it amazes me to say such a comment but I agree with dippy on this, at 44mil iph I find very few rivals actually worth robbing when I make approaching a billion a day from simply collecting my buildings.

to rob buildings worth 439mil to you then you had to have found buildings with a total uncollected output of ~1.1bil which is extremely rare in a single hood and as pointed out would generally require virtually impossible luck or a fair few stamina refills on lower output buildings.

Personally I have better things to spend my actual cash on than robbing fake cash.

I am tapjoy gold (with a few slips here and there. Lol) Have 61 stamina so I rarely use is all. The 439 was not from one hood however 240 or so was in one hood. With ltbs being what they are it is fairly easy to score 100+ mill from 2 or 3 buildings now. My iph is exactly double yours however the majority of robs come from hoods with iph lower than mine. It is not about needing the cash.

To bring this thread back around. My point still remains. If it is your desire to upgrade a low iph quickly robbing is the most effective way to do so. It is how at level 13 I built first nightclub and level 15 the second.

[Evan1000]

My highest rob was 50m.. I have a 3m IPH but it really is all luck. I robbed 1 bil last week but only 100m this week, I come across truly amazing hoods with nothing to collect our fairly decent hoods with everything to collect.. just takes time and patience I guess. I also only have 20 stamina, you don't really need much more than that

Well said. There is no pattern to robbing unless you know someone's timeframe

HA!


so its super easy to find buildings paying out 15-20mil+ per hit that are available to rob now? are you playing the same game?

even with +56% building output mod and +10% class bonus you still need a building with a base income of ~60mil

even the tsar's teahouse only pays out 49.5mil as a base which with the above bonuses is ~85mil payout giving only ~17mil per rob at L10.

[Weasel]

People should realize by now that Green Drake just loves robbing. Nothing he says has to make any sense because he has fun robbing and it's all about enjoying the game. Good for him, that's his right, but that should also be a red flag as far as taking his word for anything. Not everything he says comes out his mouth.

[crime cow]

To each their own, but just because a timer would mean you personally care about the game more than real life does not necessarily mean the same for others.

Sorry, you're wrong. If you are setting a timer that means you are saying that when this goes off I'm going to stop what I'm doing and I'm going to collect my hood. That means this game is more important than whatever else you are doing. Even if you are in a position where you don't collect, you're willing to risk having the timer interrupt whatever you are doing, which will require you to stop what you are doing and silence/reset the timer.

Now as I mentioned in my post this is not necessarily a bad strategy and it certainly doesn't make anyone a bad person for setting timers, it just means we view this game with a different level of importance. I don't spend cash on this game (I can't say I'm a free player because I do check out videos now and then), but I do spend money elsewhere that many people here would say is a waste, so to each their own...

[Green Drake]

Can't speak for anyone else but my gems, teas, church and grillz all pay over 80 mill. I imagine that others do as well. Add level 10 docks and coupled with my robbing mods...,yes I routinely score hits over 20 mill per hit. My highest single hit is actually 34 mill off some one that I believe has even more mods from syndicate placement. Highest screenshot I have seen was 41 mill from someone that has devils takedown(?) early case event prize that added 50% to robs.
So Bengie to answer your question. Yes it is easy.
My tea pays 96 mill per with mods.

Weasel now you are just starting to sound silly.

[Weasel]

Hardly silly. Most people won't have robbing mods anywhere close to what you must have, so your entire premise for robbing being "the quickest way" to building iph is quite biased. Robbing helps a lot, but for most it is not quick. It also has no affect on upgrade times, which basically limit how fast anyone can grow their iph (without gold, of course). If you can always afford your next upgrade it makes no difference how much you rob. Eventually you reach that point just by collecting your own hood, which means robberies are no longer needed to build your iph.

[aarondavidsdad]

On robberies, I was just perusing hoods to see what I could see and I stumbled upon a 30+ mill rob within just a few clicks. It's never like this but sometimes you get a gold mine out of the blue.

Which is why I said the quickest way to build a low iph up is by robbing. And with the upgrade times on the ltb being relatively short it is quite easy to build that low iph quickly provided you have the $ on hand to do so.
My rob mods are 55%. Don't remember where they all came from but I know they are not uncommon.

[therealbengie]

rob mods of that level aren't common, you live in a rose tinted bubble. I've been playing the game for over 3 years, since syndicates started I've been in a top500 most of the time and the last few months in a top100-250 and have no rob payout mods at all.

as said your advice is heavily biased towards your own position and not relevant to the vast majority of players, this view is far too common on this forum and why I rarely post nowadays and prefer to take a peak every now and then. There are a lot of players on this forum that believe that anything outside of the top250 is a failure and syns outside the top150 are gold free.

the only real truth in this thread is that the game is about having fun, it doesn't matter about your stats, syn or participation level.

Is this true ? If it is then it sucks , why should new players not have to work at IPH same as everyone else when they start . If anyone should get the option to upgrade over level 10 surely it should be players that have been playing so long that they no longer have stuff to upgrade other than LTB`s :confused:

New players can also have 4 of each building! :mad:

You are entitled to your opinion, and it is worth about what I paid for it, but I use timers preciesely becuase I have a busy life. I can never remember when buildings are due, and when my phone buzzes in my pocket, that tells me when the next meeting is over, I sould check the game.

Usually, the people who dont need timers are the people who are on hourly. Now you tell me which of the two has no life.

[wayno]

So, what is best to have. Buildings that pay out every 6 or 8 hours, or buildings that pay out every 24 or 48 hours?

Usually, the people who dont need timers are the people who are on hourly. Now you tell me which of the two has no life.

Wow! Did I hit a sensitive spot with you? Don't worry, that's not a sign of an addiction or anything. I don't actually judge people on what they do for a living, but if that's your thing more power to you. If you'll read my post again I said that how you play the game does not make you a bad person, it just means we prioritize things differently. Hopefully you find work that you truly enjoy and become a happier person.

As far as your post, thank you for proving my point. You said you set timers because you are busy and don't want to miss collections. This means that you view the collections as more important than whatever else you are doing. Again, that's fine, and if you've invested a lot of money into this game, it even makes sense. As for me, I don't want a timer interrupting a meeting, presentation, conference call, tailgating time, or even time with my wife and kids. This time is more important to me and if I get robbed, oh well. The game doesn't matter to me that much and I check it when I think about it if I find some dead time at work, on a layover, at halftime, using the facilities, etc.

Thanks for your response today and have a great rest of the weekend!

So, what is best to have. Buildings that pay out every 6 or 8 hours, or buildings that pay out every 24 or 48 hours?

Personally I prefer 12 or 24 as they fit in with my work and I can pretty much always guarantee I collect them on time , with 12 hours I collect once at 7am and once at 7pm and have my 24`s to coincide with either , 8 hour buildings I can collect at a push because i usually work 8 hr days with them I always assume I`ll lose a collection . It depends on your circumstance , if you worked split shifts for example then 6 hour buildings could work for you . No timers here , if I dont collect I leave the building robbed until its synced with my collection times again . Real world money is more important to me than in game cash ;)

It really depends on your strategy. I usually upgrade whatever building is going to give me the highest IPH boost. However, if everything is equal, the longer and more regular the collection times (12, 24, 48hrs) the better as they are easier to remember for most people and you don't have to collect as often. The odd hour collections can be a pain, even if you use timers, as they are going to need to be collected when you are sleeping, at work, etc. For most people, the 12, 24 and 48hr buildings can be timed to collect either in the morning or evening, when it's more convenient. If you are logging in more frequently, than having some strong 6, 8, 18, etc, hour collection times won't affect you as much. Of course if you are robbing people with a lower IPH than yours you are going to have plenty of hood stalkers and you will get robbed as soon as your buildings are due for collection if you aren't on top of it.

I think we both said the same thing...but apparently you type faster than me!

If you`re not fast...you`re last :p

[quityourwhining]

No sorry not true. I was kidding because of what dippy said trying to twist what I had written in a previous post.

seems like you're backtracking to cover your lies. we know... you rob for billions every day. sure.

Very sad that you are incapable of an original thought and that basic reading comprehension also escapes you.

[Dipstik]

Ambiguity tends to thwart comprehension

So you really thought I was trying to claim I had level 20 buildings? Guess I gave you more credit as well.

To be fair with Gree nothing would surprise me , even 20 upgrades for newbies .

[Dipstik]

Nope, I was just messing with you because your post was ambiguous. People who can't write clearly shouldn't criticize others for not comprehending.

[Green Drake]

Sorry for a misplaced comma or ambigious post on the crime city forum. Didn't realize these were being graded. Maybe I should throw in an OMG or brony love occasionally.....or better yet just delete a post when I realize I made a minor mistake and hope it is not caught.

Not at all, collections are a very low point on the priority scale, I use timers to remind me to even remember them. Without them, I would forget to collect all day. Timers never interupt anything, ever. Not sure how you even come close to coming to the conclusions that you do. I guess there is an alternate reality for anything.

Interesting and accurate discussion of setting personal priorities.
