    That kills all the excitement for that one guy that was stacking for seemingly no reason, but now wanted to find the cap.

    And using glasses of beer, that's easily acheiveable in *yells at Alexa* a mere 682 days [image: media1.giphy.com]

I'm not asking nnb+fac special+job special+merit
I'm saying if I spam beer for the event, will I lose my nerve after it hits the limit, or will it keep adding and going over the limit, but not increasing over time like with energy
if so, what is that limit like energy has a hard limit of 1k and happy, 99,999

One (theoretical) possibility is during the Halloween Event (Trick or Treat). There is a special to unlock which gives you +1 nerve - "Cold Sweat" (Tier III). This, in addition with other specials (from jobs etc) can be used to increase your nerve to an amount higher than your NB. As for how long it lasts, I don't know.

nerve doesn't reset, so it would last until you used it.

functionally the nerve limit will never be hit - there's simply no reason to stack nerve.

Though wouldn't maximum booster CD, Voracity (alcohol) and nerve refills be better for that, than the wasted natural regen you'd accrue just trying to get to the integer limit? ...

ANDYMAN? WHERE ARE YOU?
CRLF [2095076] · #12
Yes. It doesn't make sense to lose natural regen to try this, in my opinion. The books give a slight boost, but not enough to justify stacking nerve.

I'm mostly throwing it out there as the only possible reason I can think of to stack nerve. It's still a weak case though.

yeah better to stack job points for a huge number of days so as to get that much nerve from job special if u really wanted to stack to that much nerve for the lols and then use it all on the book
Brad [1414939] · #14
Yeah, even then just topping up nerve between ticks should be the course of action there - waste not, want not. ;)

I do want to see Andy's charts on this though :P
Andyman [471591] · #16
288 nerve per day + your daily nerve refill is a big opportunity cost to stacking nerve (or going inactive) , yes. It's less than 3 months worth.

No charts necessary.

You also better be damn sure you're not going to OD or get dirty bombed.

Wouldn't stacking the job points while hitting max nerve be the more optimal option then the either / or situation for utilising the crime book?

I.e. start book, burn through max nerve, use stack of job points, jump into alcohol and nerve refills until near the end of 31 days while doing crimes and then finish with last 30 days of accumulated job points?

This is if you were disregarding the opportunity cost and wanted to bang out a huge number of crimes in a 31 day period.
