anyone has figured out how Frugality works yet?

I upgraded to 22 frugality but the prices only came down like 15% from the original. It used to be 6% for each point..

I wonder who is the bumbling idiot that still has fake currency on this website and actually spends

The original Frugality formula was changed because, if you put enough points in Frugality, back on beta, you would actually gain Flezz by buying stuff.

Like this:

Now, afaik, you can get a max of 40% discount from Frugality.

Does that mean high frugality becomes useless after a certain point?

Hmm. When I’m finished with the storyline I may have a little play, see what sort of numbers come out. If I can be bothered.

This is right

I just noticed that at 23 frugality, Monica Lewinsky sells at 3954 and at 73 frugality, it still sells at 3954. What a waste of points.

Requesting a cap for frugality.

edit:not saying that it’s necessarily 20, but maybe it is

I grant you an bumhole x

With all the flezz we get now, who puts even one point in frugality?

Eh, never mind, guess it can be good at lower levels, and Episode 1. But yeah a cap makes sense if the points don’t do anything.

I think Frugality > 10 has no more effect on selling things, Frugality > 54 has no more effect on buying things. Just tested it out when I respecced to buy new gear.

Sneakily vicious and filled with virtuous pit bulls.

That seems close to the truth. Smileprin XR sale price stopped at 430, but were still costing ~650 when my Frugality was in the low teens, but buy price stopped getting lower than 501, when I reached Frugality in the 50s. There’s no effect in having higher frugality, but there isn’t an upper cap so you can carry on throwing upgrade points at it beyond this point.

True.

 

Junk Sales:

BS+(BS*(F*.035)), Up to a max of 10 Frugality (135% BS), then the increase stops. So a Venus sells at Log in to see images!40,500 at lvl 10.

 

Shopping Discount:

BB-(BB*(F*.0065), Up to a maximum of 35% discount (right in between lvl 53 & lvl 54). A Star-in-sparrow Tattoo has a base sale of Log in to see images!624,000

 

BS=Base sale price (what the Ppwn Shoppe would give you for it at 0 Frugality)

BB=Base Buy Price (What Drugs ‘R Fun, Infections, etc. would sell at with 0 Frugality)

F=Frugality stat (duh)

The Cap is at 100 F, but unless F has any further use in the game, I just wasted 46 UP proving it.

The short answer then would be if you’ve dumped alot into frugality, then respec.

Easily enough done, and if a cap does eventuate then you’re already good to go.

Well right now, the frugality increasing .moar files I have give me an extra 11 frugality, meaning I can, based on what I’ve read in this thread, get the maximum sale price for deliveries purely on the .moar files alone… So essentially, yea, once you have ten or more frugality worth of .moar files, frugality upgrades are pretty much worthless, as the price drop for buyable items is so miniscule… Log in to see images!

35% off a 1mil item aint bad. It’s worth a respec when you go to grab your best store gear, IMO. Other than than, yep pretty worthless.

I can’t wait to see Luck and Charisma spaded. Wanna bet they cap out ridiculously low too?

Note for ET: a good example of “Doin it rite”
