Crime City Quickie Questions

I have a question about where i should progress to increase my stats even more.

I started the game without the knowledge that leveling was bad. :) so im currently at level 150.
My stats:

Att: 33793
Def: 37803
Mafia Members: 432
IPH: 408262
# of weapons: 2397
# of Armours: 1019
# of Vehicles: 492


And im not sure where to go from now.
I am trying to gather and use as much Respect as possible but is there any specific items that are bettre for me to buy with respect?
And where would a good place be for me to farm items using energy?

Any help will be appreciated!

Farming will level you quickly, best to hold off until you have your stats closer to where you want them. If you do farm, farm explosives. You have TLC's available in Cartel Compound.

Essentially you always want to get the best respect/cash weapons you can - even if they're relatively inefficient now, in the long run you'll be much better off. Since you have only 492 vehicles it's a safe bet that this is a very weak category for you, so you might want to focus on that for a while. Long-run, as a free player you'll be wanting to stock up on M1A1s, which I believe unlock at level 165. They are around $12.5 mil a pop, so working on your iph is a must. To that end, focus more on RP weapons than on cash weapons, sink your cash into upgrading, and when you have the iph and the level then start accumulating the M1A1s.

Ideally you want a complete inventory, so you can see where you're weakest, and hence where you need to improve. To do it initially takes a fair amount of work, but once you've got it it's quite easy to keep up to date.

I can´t seem to find the m1A1's you mentioned in my list. but either way 165 level is pretty far off as i am currently trying not to level more than i need to. I have been using my respect mainly on explosives and vehicles for the moment buying the Street vengance for 3000 respect per vehicle Att: 40 def: 37. is there a bettre choice than this vehicle atm or just keep getting that.

I can't say for sure without checking your inventory, but that seems the right move.

Stay away from RP explosives for the time being. They are good, but incredibly expensive, and you can boost your stats a long, long way with other RP items before these should be a focus.

The M1A1 is the tank (vehicle) with 70-odd atk.

You have a few things going for you. Firstly, syndicates will be able to give you very large % stat boosts. Secondly, if you camp out for a while then the scratchers should actually help, a little.
Make smart use of open-10s (bosses too, but you will be quite hamstrung at top-tier with your stats) - use low-XP trigger events (robbing laundromats, essentially) and you can accumulate some fairly decent weapons that will also help. Even if you don't get the 10th item, the open-10s are giving you 4 quite reasonable stat items for free.

ok. thanks for the helpfull tips. will do what i an with what i have and hope for the best :) bit of luck with the events. trying to get as many bosses down as possible with my stats (would guess close to 20 or so) and keep farming them Respect :)

If i were to invest a few bucks into the game to get gold what would be a good use of them? raise iph or buying crates for weapons?

If you are spending a limited amount 1-off, then get the top gold buildings (Gentleman's Club, Pirate Tavern, Rock Cafe, and if you have enough, Palm Hotel). They will get you a long way to affording top cash weapons. Don't get any other gold buildings, these are by far the best, and limited gold beyond these is definitely best used for crates.

If you are planning on a small but ongoing amount, then split between the buildings and crates (not the current set - wait until a set with commons just under 100 stats comes up). Fair warning, seeing your stats skyrocket with crates can be addictive, and you might turn into a bigger gold spender than you expected. ;)

Are Alex and Mike - like crap versions of Tyler Durden? They seem to be everywhere :p

I've heard of people farming for explosives. How does this work?

It's really dangerous. You plant some explosives in a field, water it, tend to the field, and watch them grow.

Kidding. I believe they are referring to repeatedly completing the "Reduce the Dragon Gang's Numbers" mission in Japan Town, hoping the "Japanese firework" loot item will be produced.

hey guys i only signed up yesterday, and have activated my account via email and received a confirmation email back, but I still can't create a thread in the general forum any reason? says I don't have sufficient privileges.

You need to have 10 posts to start a thread.

If you post what you want here, I can start the thread for you (unless it's something that doesn't warrant it, in which case, obviously, I won't. ;))

We have the same issue. Our leader has been banned and no way to reassign to someone else.
Gree should do something but attempts to reach them were unsuccessful so far

basically you have no choice but start another syndicate since nothing can be done :(
