saving it for higher level items is best but if you simply MUST spend it now, stock up on the chain whips.

I look at it completely differently. I assume that if we are all in it for the long haul, we will be able to build up our income to buy the all the top-tier cash items, including the car. Here's what I've posted before.

Here's how I think you should look at the RP weapons:

I'm making 2 assumptions: 1) I will max out all the high-end cash weapons, 2) I will max-farm the TLC.

So, then I look at increase in attack/defense per RP spent over those items.

Here is what I get:

Pinpoint Sniper (8,000 RP) - +2 att/+8def = +10 total /// 4,000 RP/att - 1,000 RP/def - 800 RP/Total pts
Clean End (6,750) - +19/+11 = +30 /// 335 RP/att - 613 RP/def - 225 RP/total
Assassin's Coat (10,000) - +18/+36 = +54 /// 555 RP/att - 277 RP/def - 185 RP/total
Nitrous Cruiser (7200) - Cash item is better, so won't purchase
Doomsday Frag (28,000) - +75/+22 = +97 /// 373 RP/att - 1,272 RP/def - 288 RP/total
Disease Grenade (22,000) - +23/+66 = +89 /// 956 RP/att - 333 RP/def - 247 RP/total


So Assassin's Coat looks like best overall investment.
Clean End (followed by Doomsday Frag) is best attack investment.
Assassin's Coat (followed by Disease Grenade) is best defense investment.

Wouldn't explosives be the best category to buy, as it's by far the "rarest" category? Meaning that most players likely have more mafia members than explosives (I do, at least), so 100% of these points go to your stats? Also, the explosives you "buy" are the only ones that aren't consumable, so you'll never lose them - just an added bonus.

Maybe there are better "bang for the buck" items to buy in other categories, but you wouldn't get 100% of the points to your stats as you would with explosives... or am I missing something here?

you can farm non-consumeable explosives on higher level maps though not recommended if you're IOS. Save the RP for the best RP to attk/def ratio. You will get a lot of different opinions on RP

Go for the chainwhip for now , if you do nothing and let them stack you'll be able to buy more and better stuff later.

Don't buy the chain whip. It will be useless to you in no time at all.

I disagree slightly...I'd say if you MUST spend now, buy NVB. Both are going to be useless pretty quickly anyway, so why not get a bigger bang for your RP.

Of course this is different for everyone, but most mid-level players will gain the most / PR spent with NVBs. But I'd really urge you not to spend the RP and hold off for end game items.

I own / use:

RPGs: own 380; use 142 in attack / 0 for defense
FCG: own 333; use ZERO
CWs: own 413; use 212 / 154
Excelero: own 404: use 395 / 0

And I am a light gold spender who has never bought a LT weapon or crate, only spend lightly on events sometimes. So I've wasted a ton of RP on weapons I don't use anymore.

If you are on Android you can save the RP for something else than explosives and farm "The Last Call" in the Cartel Compound from the stretch limo(there are 2 limos, but its the one on the left). For Android you have a 100% drop rate on them. Also I am a big fan of the "Paddy Wagon" for a farming vehicle. The paddy wagon is received from Emery Chase in the Flea Market.

what would you reccomend for level 102? For a non-billionaire...IPH only $66,124 and my bank account is under a mill right now... Not being rich, I rely a lot on my respect points to buy weapons to keep my A/D up... I was buying chain whips, until recently, I had started getting night vision goggles cuz they raised my stats about 15 pts more... but I am thinking I might switch back. I am just not sure if I should invest it in explosives, cuz its so hard for me to save lol. I only have 3750 rp right now... I fight alot but it would take a lot of fights for me to save up for just one frag bomb explosive thingy....

I have A/D of 40,053/46,936

GUNS:
50 Tommy guns
5 sawn offs
9 RPG

MELEE:
74 colombian knifes
2 serrated blades
58 chain whips

ARMOR:
65 combat boots
111 night vision binoculars
2 full combat

VEHICLES
44 mustang
271 yamaha race bikes

You have to get three other people to say your name. ;)

Go into the general forum and balloon your post count on topics that fewer people read. More polite than posting off topic.

There are a variety of valid decision trees to be made from RP. The main decision is whether to win now or win later. The secondary decision is to increase versus current or to increase versus potential.

Since I just did the math for myself, at level 115, my best long term purchase available is Japanese Blade. The Chain Whip is the best short term investment. It seems that as a rule, the next tier melee weapons appear before the other classes. Melee weapons have cheap cash alternatives though. The Exeleros have an honorable mention since I am a long way from being able to equip my mafia with $6.6M cars. At this point, there is a bunch of affordable armor for me, and the Audis are an affordable compromise for cars.

My level 43 account bought a handful of cars, guns, and armor earlier, but after being boosted by boss events is presently saving RP. Your personal stat/RP will depend on what your base mafia is using. ie, if you buy one and then refresh your stats (eg by going to the syndicate donations page), how much does it increase your stats per 100RP? It is more difficult to determine this with a bunch of modifiers and without buying multiples to minimize rounding error but you can still do the calculations.

Sawn off Shotguns are pretty good. As above, the Chain Whips are available to you as a next-tier item, so those will give you the benefit for the longest time. NVB will probably help you the most now, especially in attack since there are not a lot of armors with good attack. Yamaha Racing Bikes may also give you the most help now, since cars are expensive. I am still using all of those items with my level 115 account for at least one stat category. (eg, I may have enough good armor to not use the NVB for defense, but I still use them for attacking.)

If you are in it for the long haul, slow and steady will win the day, I would go clean end for melee, assassin coat for armor and alternate frag/disease to maximise both explosive Atk and def. anything lower is a waste, I bought a shed load of tommy guns, boots, binoculars etc, what a waste! None of them are even used in my Atk/def now, wasted RP :(

What is the drop rate if you wanted to farm in IOS, it seems Android users have an unfair advantage as far as farming goes.

Full Combat Gears are bad, don't buy them

At the time, I had nothing else to spend my RP on....in retrospect I should have saved the RP, and not have bought any of FCGs, RPGs, CWs or Exeleros....

Don't buy anything we RP if you don't have to, try to save your respect for the best items available after level 100....

my opinion , dont waste rp on explosives, it cost 2k rp for first explosive which gives 16/16, if you bought 3 chain whips 25/19 at 750 rp = 2250 rp, the amount showed doesnt add up too the exact amount of bonus you get for that item. however in the long run MORE LITTLE THINGS IS BETTER.

Doomsday frags R best. That's why everyone has 500 of them.
THOSE WITH 500 DOOMSDAYS FRAGS ARE MORE THAN LIKELY TO BE CHEATING.. 500 WOULD COST YOU 14MILLION RESPECT POINTS EACH JOB PAYS BETWEEN 1-20 SO IF THEY HAVE DONE OVER 1 000 000 JOBS (IMPOSIBLE) THEY ARE MORE THAN LIKELY USING THE RESPECT HACK WHICH SHOULD NOT BE RESPECTED.. THEY SHOULD BE HANDED OVER TO THE RELEVEANT BODIES WITH PROOF LIKE PHOTO SNAPS.. USUALLY THEY WILL SHOW DIFFERENT LEVELS AND DIFFERENT AMOUNTS BEFORE AND AFTER ATTACK..:mad:

Who has 500 ? At 28k points to buy 500 would require 14 million of respect. I have been saving points for a while and have 500,000. 14 million ? Really ? That's insane and would require a pic

Edit - I posted this before reading the entire thread. Oztheman - I agree but. Really didn't want to call anyone a cheater before seeing it, but that's where my thinking was as well.

This is bad advice....more little things get replaced in the long run...of my 413 chain whips, I only use 175 for attack and 109 for defense...and every event another 10+ get replaced

Exactly. More "weaker" items is a good short term investment. If you are in it for the long haul then go for the bigger items.
