Nice! All 12/24/48 upgraded to level10, or a mix of assorted buildings?

A mix of everything.

But no night clubs. (think thats how most people get such a high income per hour)

I didnt want to go with them because they would be too easy to rob. I'm not great at collecting on time. I have 2 level 1 pirate taverns and they just get robbed all the time!

Good to know it can be done without nightclubs. I am the same way and can't guarantee my collections so I opt for the 12/24/48.

Congrats again!

Nice job.... Why no NC's?

Because Id struggle with the collections at 6 hour intervals.

I think they give a false impression of how much "collectable" income you have.

For example. Miss one collection and you are only getting 2.5 full value collections in 24hrs... Not the 4 collections in 24hrs.

(Thats assuming that the night club was to be robbed when you failed to collect)

Therefore its not what I would class as "collectable income"

I did it with NCs. My goal is now 2 mil. I am at 1.6 now. My NCs are level 3, and I am not sure I will try to get there by upgrading them, I would prefer to do it through hotels and casinos.

They are much easier to collect on time! Well for me they are anyway.

Good luck with that mate!

Congrats JC. With no NC's thats an awesome accomplishment! I have 2 Level 5 NC's, they only get robbed when I upgrade and have to sync. I feel compelled to collect on time as they are my economy! However, with my next NC upgrade being 519 million, I may concentrate on other buildings for awhile...

Sarin gas grenades :) Landmines if you want. Nice stat boost

Now that I have maxed out my Sarin grenades, all my income is used for upgrades... no use for defensive explosives, they would be gone in a week.

Exactly the same here mate.

I may experiment with land mines... but I imagine I would lose 10 every 2 hours at least. So expensive to keep topped up.

i maxed out both, Sarin and Landmines about 2 weeks ago.
Sarins count 443 / Landmines 383...

Congrats JC nice achievement!

Just wanted to chip in regarding NC's and collections as I went the other way. Obviously down to personal preference and lifestyle but I have 4 collections a day, every 6 hours, 12, 6, 12, 6.

I don’t usually sleep for longer than 6 hours so collect at bedtime, wake up alarm, lunch and evening, with alarms set for each time. It took a bit of practice, changing the times to fit in with work, meal times and other commitments. Now I collect 4 out of 4 probably 6 out of 7 days. The failed day is only due to sleeping through the alarm after a heavy night.

Tried to fit in 8 hour buildings (PT's, Credits Agencies etc) several months back by syncing 1 collection with the 6 am pickup, worked for a bit but the two additional pickups (6 in total) turned into a major drag, so sold them all off.

The 6 hour cycle obviously caters for all 48/24/12 and 6 hour buildings but also allows 18 hour buildings to be collected reliably too.

That's awesome. Seeing as I've only been playing this game for 2 weeks it feels like I'll be 50 when my IPH is 1 million.

Joeycool

08-01-2012, 10:35 AM

Yeah thats great Dan!

A much better way of improving income. I'm not that good at collecting though and work different hours. So not practical for me. But thats definitely the way to go if you can commit to it.

On Topic: Well done mate $1,000,000 per hour does sound a tremendous amount of wong your hoods making, what reward did you get for getting your hood to $1,000,000 per hour or was it just a cash reward.

Well done mate! That is quite an effort without NCs. I'm at 1.09m IPH with a level 3 NC, so that would be about $900k without.

I have also acheived two of my personal goals this week:

1. Saving 100k respect points.
2. Getting muted for the first time. :cool:
