Need some help on RP items

[Lonestoner]

I spend RP on whatever would give me the most gain per RP. This means I have to keep a tally of what my equipment is to a degree - obviously tracking every bit is pointless but I do have to know what items I'd be replacing with RP items. Ends up being pretty nice as it gives you something to work for. Anyhow, I highly recommend going by AT-gain per RP rather than feelings

I essentially do the same thing, but I just figure out which respect item is currently giving me the most stats for the rp by just seeing what the increase is per item bought, and go with those, one at a time, checking my stats as I go. Pretty tedious, but I seem to be getting the most bang for my buck right now..

Why go all the way to San Diego when I can just look on my couch...

Yeah, but that one is out of commission for the next few weeks!

I've been saving RP for a little while waiting for xeleros to open up at level 115

Just did some checking in to what will give me the most bang for my buck and RPG's will actually give me a bigger stat boost than xeleros

So the question is which do I buy? There's only a few hundred extra attack points in the RPG's. 22% of my items are guns, 20% vehicles. Should I get more vehicles (xeleros) because of this? Or is the attack point increase the decider? At level 200 will I be swamped in guns but low on vehicles?

I don't spend gold on weapons or events. and here's where I stand on how many I own and how many will still improve my stats:

CWs - own 412 - need 51 more
FCG - own 117 - need 324 more
RPG - own 182 - need 277 more
Excl - own 248 - need 230 more

No you will not be swamped with guns....you get more top-level guns then other items, but it's still small if you are trying to equip 500 mafia members...as you can see from my strategy I'm slowly increasing each item (after the very cheap CW), because I don't know if new farmable items will become available (I'm currently farming TLCs)

Edit:
You should also know the items I'm replacing:

CWs - replace a 12/12 item
RPGs - replacing Atk from M4A1 (20 attack)
FCG - replacing NVG
Excl - Replacing Atk from DD (18 attack)

I was able to farm M4A1 and DD's when the getting was good, so things may be different now.

Might be smart to stop buying chain whips... You can farm the Steel Fists 26/17 from the cartel compound, it's a cheap buy-in and doesn't require much energy... I've gotten 30 in a few days

[Timbo Slice]

It drops much more than The Last Call which has similar stats

TLCs are much better than Steel Fists in long run. If you play the game for a year long you will have enough RPs to buy CW but RPs can't buy explosives.

[Timbo Slice]

Not yet

But that is a good point, however for me it TLC nearly never drops anymore, anyone else noticed that or is it just me?

[_dan_]

During events the drop rate is like 1% ( 4800 energy loot 0 TLC ), no events 4800 energy could get 2-3 TLC.

When u get to a higher stat level, rp becomes useless. Gree need to add higher items so we can use these rp's

Yea we know. We've been continuously talking about this for ages but GREE(D) doesn't respond.
