I saw that, and didn't add it initially because of the drop rate. That and the next map offers a .65 better chance of dropping the same vehicle.

Added it anyway though! Thanks for the feedback so far everyone! As for future Tips of the Day (TOTD), what would you all like to see? I have a few days already done, but would like some direction for what is in demand.

[xclusiv]

thank you syn, im gunna try and loot lowrider let you know how i go,i would like to see meele loot list, eg stone hammer, and what do u think for armour? many people think nato gas mask but i think bomb squad suit is the way to go.

I would be one of those people :p I loot about 3-4 NATO Gas Masks (4/18) a day. With my penalty of -2/-1 that gives me at least +51 mafia defense a day. Also, I don't sit there and taptaptap the job. I am doing the missions story line as well.

The only problem I have with the Bomb Squad Suit is the drop rate and the cash needed to do it. The highest you can find it is .85 at the Parking Garage in Empire Central Station. As soon as I have the income to do it, I plan on hitting it a couple times. :D

where do you loot your nato masks from? ive been wanting to hit the parking garage aswell cause i have seen some people with hundreds of bomb squad suits so i thought it may be a good loot. but saving up for a building and dont want to spend the 1.9mil yet lol

[Duke.0]

Its 2,505,000 for me to loot the parking garage.

Yeah....thats a lot of dough.

[Syn]

Taken from my original post on 12/29/11:

"I thought we would start simple today. There was a thread maybe a week or two back about the best places to loot vehicles. So I tested most of these places out, and when I confirmed them, I splattered the data together. These are not all the locations, just the ones with the best drop rates. Thanks go to allhaildiscordia for his spreadsheet on loot location and drop rates!"

__________________________________________________ _________________________________________________

Thought you all could use a very simple template for your respect items. I'm still learning Excel, so if you see errors in the template let me know!

I decided to start with this template because I found it aggravating going back and forth between a calculator and my phone. Now, you can simply plug in how much respect you want to use and get the stats immediately. There isn't a start over button in the game, so you want to make sure you are spending your respect wisely.

Bump for 12/30's TOTD, the Respect Items Calculation Template (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Av-QP-6m7RTzdDNSckMxaW9JSm5fdlZ4NWIzd3hJZ0E)!

Today's TOTD is a list of all the money/experience you can make between the maps of Soho and Boardwalk, 464 Jobs. All you have to do is save your own copy to your computer and plug in your maximum energy into the G2 cell. I was hoping to get all the maps today, but this turned out to be very long and tedious work. Hopefully by next week I will have the rest of the maps and data plugged in.

Instead of having to try to figure out the energy costs off the top of your head, I went ahead and plugged that in too. So if the mission is 222 energy 6 times, the sheet automatically puts 1332 energy. The downside to this is that it only shows the completed job experience. So if you get 79 energy per tap for a 6 tap job, the sheet will only show the total of 474 experience. This is the way I wanted it, but I realized too late in the sheet that others might not want this. If this is confusing you, just take a look at the sheet. Should be self explanatory from there.

As always, if you notice any problems with the data just let me know. I do know that the min/max money column is off a bit. Just make sure to look at the maximum energy you have and then the energy required before you go tapping away.

There were about 5-6 jobs that made me double take the data. There are still secrets to be found! :p Probably not, but Happy New Years everyone.

Ever wanted to know your exact mafia defense? Just can't seem to get it 100% right? Or, do you just want to know which category of items are helping you the most in attack/defense? Whatever the reason, now you can know these exact stats with today's TOTD:



1-1-2012: All Items Calculation Template (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Av-QP-6m7RTzdGVWcUNjSGJXS01yQlgwbVJmeV9FcFE)


The instructions are on the first sheet, with the template itself on the second sheet located at the bottom left hand tab, labeled "Template". To fill this out you need to download and save it to your computer. Happy New Years!

Edit: Also, not all the items are listed obviously. Just insert the ones I didn't put.

Wow so much reading!! You people overthink too much. Lower levels don't listen to Nuttpee, he has no clue about the concept of the game, all you see about him is trash talking other player's wall, but his stats are weak, just like him in person.

[Penutt]

LMAO...Its all to tha good cuz whoever crackaddict is continues to hide his CrimeCity player name and seriously thinks he is a cyber gangster. So I will let him poke him little chest out over the internet and continue to flap him self one gums!!!!!!!!!!! Some people have no life so they take this game very seriously and at the end of the day it pays no bills or enhances the overall quality of life, its just a fun way to past time........HAPPY NEW YEAARSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

PS I'm not too weak because all of the rivals I have who want beef with me are atleast 20 levels higher than me and want to act hard because they are beating a lower level player but not realizing that when they were at my level they were weak and I would be taxin that butt! So keep yappin crackaddict because what you idiots fail to realize is that this game maxes out at level 200 and one day all of the people you think you were badder than will catch you. Wait fer ittttttttttt wait ferrrrrrrr it waitttttttttttttt fer it.................Powwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww......E ven with that said it is still just a game at the end of the day so don't get your panties all in a ruffle crackaddict, k.....

Love,
Penutt

Today's TOTD comes from our friend 2Legit! Thanks for the clarification!


As most of you will eventually encounter this Two Golden Weapons, here is the breakdown of what lies ahead to receive those weapons;

- When you reach to 28K attack stats you will receive a GOLDEN GRENADE LAUNCHER

- When you reach to 34K defense stats you will receive an RPG weapon

- When you reach to 36K or 38K defense stats (can't remember which one) you will receive a GOLDEN GATLING GUN

[Sdot]

can you reach 29k attack without buying gold weapons? i'm at 16k att now and to almost double that seems really hard...even if you farmed 500m4's.. each M4 i get now only adds 13att points as is.

[Certes]

It takes some doing, but you can do it without either gold weapons or explosives.

[Rarelibra]

can you reach 29k attack without buying gold weapons? i'm at 16k att now and to almost double that seems really hard...even if you farmed 500m4's.. each M4 i get now only adds 13att points as is.

Sdot - do the quick math.

Spending ONLY RPs you can get

500 RPGs for a total of 18,000 att/7,000 def
500 Serrated Blades for a total of 6,000 att/9,000 def
500 Full Combat Gears for a total of 8,500 att/13,500 def
500 Exeleros for a total of 15,500 att/8,500

for a grand total of 48,000 att/38,000 def

[TemplarX]

Rarelibra, is that practically possible. Championships and win streaks end...and that's the end of life as we know it...with the drop rates reduced, the only way is to spend gold... Try accumulating 1200 respect ... With each rob/ attack yielding say 5 respect, you would need 240 stamina just to get an exeleros! For 500, that's 120,000 actions. Wow, I don't even know how long that would take!

[Sdot]

Exactly. Instead of doing the math, do the time. Factor in a life+7-8hrs of sleep as well

[Anubis]

I think we have to look at it another way because it would take years to get 500 of each top respect item.

Its gonna be more like (not taking into account we will all have some rpg's, exeloro's etc).

For Att:

500M4's = 10,000 att
500 Steel Garrotes = 5000att
500 Goggles = 8000att
400 Yam bikes = 5200
Total = 28,200.

Now, that can be made easier once income is high enough by adding 2000att from 500 frag grenades. I recently did it buying 400 Steel Garrottes, 190 Napalm and 190 Anthrax.

Defence is a lot harder. I though 32,000 was the final goal/aim instead of 34,000. i reached 32,000 defence from the mission 'Godly' but it is the mission 'Immortal' that gets you the Golgen Gattling gun. I had the cash ready from the taverns to reach the goals but 34K was just unobtainable for me. I got up to 32K by buying 500 Landmines. Onviously every attack just means I lose them so I kinda wasted 30M lol. It will obviously come back as income goes up. Now in regards to doing it practically it seems very very hard. Lets stick with what the most of us farm, I also think the Golden gattling gun and 34K mafia defence is only gonna be obtainable in the higher levels with some of the most expensive pieces in the game:

500 M4's : 11,000 def
500 Goggles: 8,000 def
500 Tasers?: 5500 def (95M)
500 Stun Grenades - not sure of new price, old was 1.2K so 600K for 3000def
That totals 27,500defence so would need the final 6.5K def from vehicles

Note also, You need (from my recent experience) 30,000 Mafia defence to get the final att goal for the Golden grenade launcher. After I got 30K mafia defence I got the Godly mission (32K mafia defence forthe RPG) and the Weapons of Mass Destruction (28K att) at the same time. So you WILL need 30K mafia defence and 27K att before the final 3 goals are available. You can see Why Yachts are so expensive. 400 Yam bikes would only give 4800 defence, Say you bought 50 Armoured Limo's to add to the 400 Yam bikes that would cost a whopping 280M and u still not got enough defene needed.

Working out viable means of reaching 30K mafia defence however will at least open the goal for the Golden Grenade launcher that in comparison is obviously much easier to obtain as that final 4K mafia defence will beharder than pretty much anything else.

Sorry about the babble but the route to getting the weapons lies in a combination of Respect items, M4's, $$$ items and explosives (if only used to reach the final goals).

Reading all this just makes me not want to play anymore...There's no flippin way I'm going to be in a position to "waste" 30 freakin' million dollars on explosives just to meet one goal.

[MadHatter]

Lol don't listen to Anubis he's an idiot to pretend to know what he's on a out. Check out his hood, you can clearly see the only reason he's doing "ok" is that he's spent a silly amount on gold. Im glad he has as he's being robbed blind by an iPhone app that has no real meaning.

The 400 steel garrotes hd talks about he spent real money on (bought gold buildings and sold them for ingame cash)

His economy is only afloat because it relies him on buying lol level one gold buildings. He has like 90 NVG, 200 YH and lol 100 mustangs. 200 or so m4s. He's clearly an impatient noob that should not be giving advise.....

And the advise he's given he has not got the skill to follow himself.... And suplements his hopelessness/incompetence within the game buy spending is real life money to play catch up

[stixx]

And whats your advice?
All you seem to do is crying about every post anubis makes.

[MadHatter]

My advise, farm m4s buy nothing but goggles with RP. Attack attack attack, build Econ. When you have 400 m4s farm taxis. Stop Econ and buy garrotes. Get beat up late game because you have not spent enough on gold.

Or
sell all buildings
Uninstall iPhone app
Find a game that has an end/point. Pref one that you don't play for 9 months and put countless hours in before realizing it will never end and that you will have to spend ablot of REAL Money on to become competitive

[Anubis]

Reading all this just makes me not want to play anymore...There's no flippin way I'm going to be in a position to "waste" 30 freakin' million dollars on explosives just to meet one goal.

Although that 30M was made from sellin taverns, It is easily made from levels 150+ with economly planning following Tramps.

As Madhatter knows my hood its obvious he is level 100-125. I have 4 ppl that rob me continuously (Im not ontop of my hood right now, rl stuff gettin in the way). To eliminate one - Is Babytway still around these forums? (No accusations being made here at all Baby, your one of 4 ppl robbin me and as madhatter has been banned (and admitted to being one of those ppl) I'd like to see you post so I can eliminate you from one of 4 possible madhatter names :)

I know my child can be a bit of a handfull at times but you its time you grew up and stopped this hate campain against me and my child.

Just to let you know that you have been reported to crime city mark and i hope no further action will be needed. So please stop insulting people on the forums as this is not what the community is about!

This was sent to me immediately after my last post on this thread. What would be the point of sending me this? I ask again, Baby if you are around plz come and post. I know you rejected my friend request last week and have been robbing me ever since. That I have no problem with, it is all part of the game and Im yet to find one of your buildings up (you have them under close lock and key lol). Again I hate to ask you to post but babytway there is some co-incedential evidence here and everyone on this forum is begging to know who madhatter really is. So post for us :)

Guess I know where I stand.

[MadHattersMother]

And since when did this become a babytway witch hunt why because madhatter robbed you...

And if madhatter was babytway. It would clearly in the intrest for the avatar babytway to play along... And not act like hatter and humour you...

I would really like to know who Mr and Mrs hatter are. They in the 100-125 range. Obviously not wanting to show their true identities. I can only presume they are scared >.>

How on earth BabyTway saying she is not madhatter prove the she is actually not madhatter? Please explain where is the logic in this?

[TemplarX]

For Att:

500M4's = 10,000 att
500 Steel Garrotes = 5000att
500 Goggles = 8000att
400 Yam bikes = 5200
Total = 28,200.

Thanks Anubis...I was also thinking along the same line...so it seems like attack point of 28k is the theoretical practical maximum for non gold players like me.

[theONE]

i'm just a nooby player wanting to know how to get stronger, i've looked at enemy's profiles and sometimes they aren't that noticably special. Yet they are powerful in attacking or defending themselves...AND they have less members. Whats weird is I have more vehicles, how can a player only rely on guns be so strong? or do vehicles mean squat since it all just gets added to the total amount of 'weapons' stats a person has shown in the profile?

This has all been covered extensively. Look for Syn's thread that is called "best of the best guides" or something like that.

[Anubis]

Thanks Anubis...I was also thinking along the same line...so it seems like attack point of 28k is the theoretical practical maximum for non gold players like me.

Getting the 28K is prob the easy thing, and can be accomplished by level ~130-140 with a thriving economy (level those lofts, movie theatres, and Dominicans for none gold buyers for an economy to cover it). Along with the time needed to get the goggles, M4's, and bikes.

Getting the Mafia defence of (30K I think) is the real challenge to open up the final 3 goal missions. Getting those Armoured police trucks is actually a vital part of acheiving this goal and I am pretty sure after level 90 or level 100, the drop rate is nicely increased. I had about 7-8 before 90, now I have 78 at lvl 116. The 19 Defence is obviously essential in attaining these goals so PVP your asses off after 90!. (Remember 17 Vehicle defence costs 7M$$ and 23 Vehicle defence costs 23M$). These goals are definately obtainable but I reackon level 150+ with the correct gameplay techniques in economy, PVP, and respect building is obviously the core to getting these weapons for none gold buyers.

Spending (R) on the 3 top R items is a huge mistake for anyone thinking about it (with the only exception being the Chain Whip but a proper evaluation of using respect/building economy/getting the golden weapons would need to take place.

Anubis, can the armored police truck be farmed? If so, where and drop rate? I have 29 all from pvp loot.

[hunter]

Armored police truck - Chinatown - Teahouse - 190 energy, the drop rate is poor, 10:1 or less.

syn,

have you confirmed the double decker bus at the chinatown location?

[hunter]

Double Decker (18/14) in 3 places:
1 - Empire Airport - City Bus - 3 x 215.
2 - Army Base - Helicopter Gunship - 3 x 188.
3 - Empire Central Station - Seymour Stone - 6 x 310.

You could try the 1st place. other places requires too much $$$.

Haven't confirmed any location for the double decker yet. No one has come forward saying they have one :/

Can I nominate one for tomorrow?

Don't buy gold to replenish your energy when trying to loot an item with stats 120 percent better than the next best weapon unless you know for sure it'll be in your inventory the next day.
