FiBraTorn: forum

If this was a real life city, in the real world, one might even consider this, as a city in a game where money literally infinite: NO.
Those high profits dudes and dudettes you are talking about? those are the ones that buy your plushies, that give you money. 
Taxation for playing the game longer it's just stupid. 
What you want in lower Xanax prices, but xanax is never supposed to be the new players drug, despite everyone everywhere saying that you must happy jump or whatever. 
Same story with the PI. 
What I read in between the lines of your post is: "I want the good stuff cheaper so I can get it faster and the old players have more money than me". This is not a real world economy mate, money is literally infinite here. 

As so many have said before me (and yes, i'm just a green leaf in heart still) : "Torn is a marathon, not a sprint"

As I am unsure if you are shitting or not, a straight answer. No.

The one you see when you go to the rental market. Entries are organised by happiness then by price/day. Just see what is the first entry for the amount of days you want to rent by, and ball park from there. Honestly, it's a moving market, so observe and take note every day for 3 days or so and make your decision by that :) 

Just a comment?

I'm in

I've only played this for the past 9 months and i already share the opinion of both WompLong [3853956] and SirJux [2695126].

It is my belief that if something becomes so general widespread use either include it in the game or remove it entirely. Mind you, I use all of the above mentioned websites as well as some travel planners. But I would like NOT to. I would like to just need to use the browser to play the browser game. one website. no scripting. But I'm not naive, I know there will always be ways to "exploit"/"improve" the game with scripts and I know someone will always do them. but at the same time, I would like to play this game on the intended website/server without having to log in to other websites to keep up. because the truth is: yes, we all use them to keep up. FFScouter to not waste E and select the right FF for war. Maybe even to double check bounties. weav3rs site to sell AND BUY stuff to traders/bazaars. Travel planners to know where/how much profit to gain. 

Maybe I'm wrong though. Maybe I'm too much of a noob to really appreciate. 

Even so, if everyone is using them... maybe there's a reason? maybe they should be added to the game? maybe it's a mechanic ppl want? and if the devs don't want them... maybe provide an alternative? a good enough alternative?

General rule of thumb is train the best stat on the current gym. And do it all the time. Don't let the energy bar rest at maximum for long. If you can afford Xanax, take it. You can't, don't take it, but train anytime your happiness is at maximum. Basically, ignore builds just train. That's what I understood. I could be wrong though.

Isn't that how science sciences? Been wrong my entire life

But did you have fun still? 'cause let's not forget than in the middle of min-maxing this numbers simulator: this is still a game, for you to enjoy :)

great freaking answer, almost as a guide itself. 

I think this is where it comes down to: what's your play style? I bloody hell hate traveling, I only do it when my funds are really low, or as an attempt to get cheap Xanax. 

So i'll look into anyway to maximize my "passive" income as much as possible. 
If I travel all the time like a goddamn lunatic, maybe I don't have a use for bank. 

But If I do something else other than traveling: wars , oc's, literally anything else - I want my bank merits so I can have more for doing the same: nothing.

Now that this is in the correct forum of QnA let me try to also give you another side of the explanation:
Some people level hold as a way to try being shrewd. During war most people who DON'T use FFScouter will ball park the battlestats according to level, and think that if one is low level it's more likely to be an easy fight. While this is true in the sense of Low levels have lower life, if the person is level holding his/hers battle stats can be much, much higher. In a middle of war, where no one is taking the time to look at the proper stats of a person, they would simply attack, and lose. 

Another reason is for people to try and follow the thumb guide of "Battle Stats Rank in hall of fame should be close to Level Rank". And one might level hold as a way to try to achieve that balance.

here for it

I start to question if the issue is that the new ppl joining in are too young to remember how forums actually work. I mean there's no way that so many general posts like this are from actually knowing what ppl are doing right?... right?

I stopped reading halfway but i think this is supposed to be guide. Wrong forum.

1 per page!

I've been warring a lot though i am still relatively new and smoll stat'ed . 
I have yet to fully grasp the concept and good use tactics of warring.

that said, there's one thing I agree with you:
the time commitment is huge. even if we "only need to login a few minutes" it's never just a few minutes. Chain watching. Chain rotation. 

wars tend to go for 2 days at least. 

I started this game because it had "cooldowns" of how much action I could/should place in the game. it forced me (in the beginning) to "touch grass" as they now say. Then things started to pile up and sometimes it does feel like a chore.

I'll continue warring, specially because that's where the money is, and I hate flying. but i agree that most times it is a looot of time

Since we are bringing this post up, and since I know there are thousands of guides now, I think it is worth it to have one "clear" guide. For the question above, I am also Interested (I like numbers). Why stop at 1.5 and not go for 2? Does it get harder? Does it get too unbalanced?

As for another question: currently is it still better to whore Dex? I've seen so much posts arguing for a Dex whore build, that I'm now unsure if the patches and game has been updated in a way that the argument flipped in favour of Def, or flipped for a balanced approach at all.

I most definitly agree on this. Whatever your goal is, almost certainly you can just put in a little bit of time and turn your account to the way you want. I see no point in restarting in this game, even if you where an older account it doesn't make sense to restart. Either it doesn't make sense 'cause you're too young and it's easy to turn to whatever you want, or you're (the account) too old and it doesn't make sense 'cause you already unlocked several goodies or NW that would be lost. 

basically, take a breather, decide what you want to go for, and go for it

Do I expect to win? No. Do I want to win? Yes. Is this post relevant? maybe.

Why tf not, i'm in

Curious, just made a small test in my account recently and jumping (candy) was better for stats than xan+NAT e training. 

Is this blunder specifically from the money point of view?
