Battle stats and level?

Hi,
This has been probably been asked before, but I couldn't find my answer in the forums.
What is the best battle stats / level ratio?
For example if I'm level 8 and my total battle stats are 8000 is it good or bad? Or should I just hurry up and get to level 15 and start doing happy jumps as some people recommend?

I feel like either way after my newbie status ends I'll be attacked by the high level players that have billions of stats, right? Then again, I've been thinking that high level players don't attack newbies even after the newbie status is over, since it'd be the same as attacking a guy in a wheelchair aka pretty pathetic and embarrassing and other high level players might raise some eyebrows if you (only) attack much weaker players than yourself.

TL:DR : Is it worth it to keep your battle stats and level equal or should I hurry up to level 15 and then start training like there's no tomorrow?

My apologies if this question has been asked before for the 1000 times.

I'd prefer answers from players that are already minimum 15 levels or restart newbies.
Thank you for your advice.

Well you've made all the right moves so far. You have a job in a player run business while still in your new player protection period and you've joined a faction.

Getting to 15 would seem logical, yet it all depends on long term goals. Do what you feel is right. And as for being attacked by player with billions of battle stats. I wouldn't worry about in all honesty. Things like being mugged ect are all part of the game. Just enjoy!

Since you can hold your level in this game, there is no correct ratio of level /stats really. Though, if you really want to have some sort of comparison then just check out the 'ranks' section.

Compare your 'level' rank to your 'battle stat' rank. If both are a similar number, then your stats are about average in comparison to other players the same level as you.

If your battle stats rank is higher (lower value number), then your stronger than other players the same level as you.

If your level rank is higher (lower value number), then you are weaker than other players the same level as you.

You could use this method to decide if you should to level up or not. But, it's recommended you get to level 15 ASAP first. Don't even worry about it until then.

Thank you for your reply.
Umm…The ranks section is "Hall of fame"? I cant compare because all the things are hidden. I'd understand if only the username was hidden, but everything is hidden :(

You're not looking at the names.. you're only looking at the rank number.. see below:

Ooh, thank you!

Level 15 is a must, don't worry about reaching the same battle stat and level ranks until then.

Yes, sorry... I play on a mobile phone and the hall of fame is labelled as "ranks" for me.

I feel that the battle stats part of your question has been answered, but as for being attacked by people with billions of stats, it is not as common as being attacked by people with moderate stats (but higher than yours). It happens, and it is not worth holding a grudge against any of them. It will mostly be for mugging, and your best defence is to not make it worth their while money-wise, so they won't come back a second time. You will find an amount of cash that you are comfortable carrying, and the amount will increase as your stats increase.

Also you are more likely to be mugged overseas, especially on longer trips where people use energy that would otherwise have been wasted by the flight time, so do your overseas turnarounds quickly, and when you get stronger, you can choose to be the mugger if that suits your play style.

You always want more stats, no matter how high they get. But the sooner you get to level 15, the better. You'll have higher stats by pushing there fast, because the sooner you do, the sooner you have higher income which leads to more efficient training.

Once you have 500 stats or higher, you should start hitting leveling targets and push to L15. Once you get to L15, you should stop trying to level up and focus on training stats as much (and as efficiently) as you can.

Stats are more closely correlated with age than with level- you can get an idea of where you are stat-wise against people of your same age range here: Age/Stats Analysis and Spreadsheets
