View Full Version : Best use of respect points

I have devised a metric for best use of respect points. With my current inventory, the best way to increase attack is buying Tommy guns, and the best way to increase my defense score is with combat boots.

Right now, I'm level 75, so my 375th least powerful gun is a machine pistol, with 2A, 2D. If I buy a Tommy gun (10A, 6D), it knocks one machine pistol off the list of used items by my mafia, for a net gain of 8A, 4D. That means I get an increase of 1A for every 12.5 respect points (100R/8A). Using a similar metric for melee, armor, and vehicles, I get the following:

.................A......D......R.......R/A.......R/D
Tommy........8......4......100....12.5.....25.0
Sawnoff......20.....12.....360....18.0....30.0
Columbian.....9......8......200....22.2....25.0
Serrated......10....17....400....40.0....23.5
Chainwhip....23...18.....750....32.6....41.7
C. boots.......3......4......50....16.7....12.5
Night vision..14...14....300....21.4....21.4
Full C. gear..15...25....800....53.3....32.0
Mustang......5......3....125....25.0....41.7
Yamaha......12....11....325....27.1....29.5

Thus, best way to increase attack with respect points is with Tommy guns, best way to increase defense with respect points is combat boots. Your results may vary, depending on your own inventory. This wouldn't work if I had 375 M4A1s, but as it is, I only have 7 at the moment. Try it out for yourself.

It's better to buy the high value items in the long run. It's been proven

Yep. I'm no longer using any of my Tommy Guns or Combat Boots, so those are just wasted respect points to me now (although I'm sure I needed them at the time).

My advice is to stock no more than 50 of each. The last thing you want is hundreds of unused Tommies at level 105.

My advice is to skip the Tommy Guns and low level Respect items in general and to sc**** into level 30 with a small mafia, really the smallest you can get away with specifically so that you don't need to blow all your Respect on rapidly obsoleted items. From there grow with the M4s. All along supplement with high-value cash equipment.

Used a lot of respect on yamahas, made sense at the time, but turned out to be a waste in the long run. I agree with Tramp Stamp on this one.

why do you think investing RPs in yamaha bikes is a waste of resources?

Actually I disagree on the Yamahas. They are not that easy to replace.

Weapons in the other categories are easier.

Chain whips are great, but steel garrotes are good too. Tommy Guns are decent, but M4s render them useless, NVGs are hard to replace too and trump boots big time.

I think Yahamas may be the last thing that gets phased out.

I have 140 yamahas and don't think it was a waste at all. I doubt ill get 500 of something better for a very long time

The Yamaha is the best vehicle to purchase for anyone with a low income. Once you're rich enough, buy fighter jets! lol

YH bikes are a waste...... Iv put a lot of thought into this and they are a huge mistake. But I don't mind if my rivals dont agree and keep on getting them.

So which RP item is good in the long run?

Royal Flush

Best would be the Night Vision - from a pure attack perspective in the long run you only lose 1 atk per item so 500 max, which isn't much in the long run!

I'm oscillating between NVG and Yams. The NVG look like a better longterm item but my current deficit is in vehicles so the Yams look like a pretty good option for now and the foreseeable future. I think I just need to rob more respect.

JimmyShines

Removing the deficit in items is the most important thing to do, and in your case, yes, Yam's all the way, they will last a very long time, I'm sure you will still have Yam's used in the mafia at lvl 200.

So what do people think of Exeleros?

Just too expensive?

I've been saving RP for a couple weeks now with those in mind, even though aren't the best in the RP per attack or defense gained stat.

I figure I can farm M4s and buy Garrots to fill out some of the other categories.

Just curious what others think.

how many RP will u get after completed all pvp goals and about 20000 fights? im trying to figure out the average amount of respect you would get to balance what to buy.

Matthew91188
01-05-2012, 05:11 PM
I guestimate an average of 5 respect per attack, now of course you can get lots more but this is a good medium, i couldn't tell you the challenges but you do get 1000 for the last goal, and like 800+ for the last few. I'd say an easy guess between everything would be 150k respect for what you asked for.

i believe someone already posted before on the lowest level respect items equivalent that CC money can buy... thus, i would say max 50 for the lowest level respect items if you really really want them, else use CC money to buy. mid tier respect items, sawn offs (equivalent of M4A1s)... thus some balance between farming loot items and the mid tier respect items, max them out at 500 total... then go all out for the max respect items after that...

currently i'm building only RPGs, ChainWhips, Full CombatGears and Exs now. as a non-gold player, this is the best i can do. at the rate i'm going, probably will take another 2-3 years to max them out at 500 each... that's if i'm still wanting to play everyday...

I've been saving for Exeleros too, I'll probably be able to buy about 14 when I unlock them. I'm not sure if it's worth it though. I might as well be buying NVGs and then exeleros later after I unlock them.

Since I don't think I will have 2 or 3 years to fully equip my mob with the very best respect items, I am opting for a "tiered" approach.
Tier 1 = 100 "low end" respect items like mustangs, combat boots, Columbian knives
Tier 2 = 200 "mid range" respect items like Yams, NVG, Serrated blades
Tier 3 = as many "Bestest" respect items like Exceleros, Chain whips, Full Body, supplemented with best loot & cash items.
Start with tier 1 and when the 100 items achieved move on to tier 2
Exception is for Guns as M4s are the firearm of choice.
This approach will allow a reasonably strong mob equipped as you move up the levels.

Are respect points considered useless now? Since after one month play I have 159k respect points.

there is now a need for them, you can buy uzi's for the raid boss and there will be new weapons in the future.

Camerino
05-18-2014, 02:27 PM
I recommend you all use your respect points buying uzi's for next raid boss...you don't want those things bogging down your inventory...

I endorse this excellent advice. Players should also give all their cash to syndicate bank and buy henchmen.

Don't do that Bala the respect items you can buy now are trash. Either use them to buy Uzis for the raid boss or save them for the new event that's coming soon because they are suppose to be coming out with better respect items for the new event.
