I had that earlier. But then I realized that Books don't work like Mods. Books only appear as Exclusive offers. Mods and items are offered as Normal or Special prices. Books do not have Special offers per se.

I have also stopped updating the tracker purely because all the prices seem to vary between 1k - 2k credits. The only exception has been a single spotting of a book at 984 credits for "Milk yourself sober" and a reported spotting of one other book at upper 890s. The books seem to have equal probability of landing a price between 1k to 2k. So anything under 1.5k credits is a good price and anything above 1.5k credits is pricey.

Anyone know just how much shawshank ain't for me increases your busting chance. I have a high 35 nnb and I just did 8 busts in a row and was shocked

You bought Book: Finders Keepers for 1803 mission points

I was level 53 when it came up, not sure if that is relevant.

No clue, but I just did 45 busts in around 20 minutes, including level 100s with like 20 hours jail time. I am in the law firm though. This is my favourite book ever

From analyzing the numbers posted by others, it seems to be roughly 3x boost to your ability.

Had this thread pointed out to me earlier today, bumping for relevance and to subscribe for future books that show up on my missions.

I can tell you what my experience was. For this book I had around 45 nnb and joined the Law Firm company 10*. This company let's you see % of success chance on every bust. Also I operated from the premise that busts need to be done a little multiple times a day, like 4 to 6 hours apart.

With 45 nnb, the company, faction perks for busting being easier and 3 nerve busts, I could do quite a lot. 1st 2 days about 20 to 30 every 4 to 6 hours resulting in more than 100. Keep in mind that I can see % chance of success and would only bust if 60% chance.

After that I failed a bunch, so let the % reset for about a day, and more or less did around 10 to 15 busts 3 times a day. I went for low levels under 50. If I busted an 80+ the amount of busts dropped to like 5 to 8 ish 3 times a day.

So in the end I think I managed to do around 1,000 busts over 31 days. To put that into perspective, with no faction perks, company, or book, I can do like 3 busts a day or if under level 30 like 7. I have 60 nnb now, but the book was used at 45 nnb.

That is probably the cheapest book I have seen in the credit store. Didn't know the price could go that low. :)

17:24:04 - 07/09/2020 You exchanged 1,819 mission credits for 1x Book : Finders Keepers

I observed the more books you buy from Mission Store, the more their price increases
I remember buying my first book (Ugly Energy) below 1000 credits. Now you see I am almost at 2000 credits. To date I purchased 11 books from the store.
