Let's talk about upgrades

[ZenMaster]

I noticed that we have quite a few options to boost battle performance and stats, and I'm wondering what your main target for upgrades is?

So.. Equipment obviously helps you to boost your own stats, so do boosters (so they say) but their use is limited. Getting books & XP for the girls helps them to improve, but giving them gifts and leveling them up that way helps you get more money so you can buy more other stuff.

And just the other day I noticed that you can even throw money at manually upgrading your stats, but then it's only 1 point per upgrade and the upgrades get more expensive if you keep buying.

Right now my main strategy is to keep XP maxed out at all times and continue buying gifts. Every time the market restocks (or my level goes up) I immediately buy all the low priced books and gifts (up to 15k / item) and some of the more expensive stuff (it's usually more profitable not to buy high end but lots of low end, but it only saves you 1).

Here's hoping the poll works

You forgot the actual answer in your poll: "Stats dont matter at all"

The level cap is 400 at the moment so the only thing that makes a difference now is gifts you can upgrade your base stats to be higher than other players in the market without even needing any gear..

Sorry dude, but your poll is like asking which grain of sand you like best. stats just arent worth talking about yet.

equipment: you'll get a set eventually without ever making a purchase. might not be perfect, but it'll be easily good enough to complete the game by itself.

boosters: the ultimate expression of worthlessness. like giving a horny teenager a bottle of viagra. completely uneccassary and will run out before it becomes even remotely needed.

books: exp for the girls for better stats? a side effect of contests, one so unimportant its not even worth considering outside of contests.

gifts: doesn't really make a huge impact. on its own the numbers are so small they have zero impact, you would need to combine books and gifts for gifts to have any kind of impact at all (on stats)

white crosses: i presume you mean the purchase buttons for stats. get 1000 for the story and never come back. i haven't purchased stats since about my third day in the game, when i realised just how worthless they are with the vs combat system broken.
