It depends on your capabilities. It’s hard to tell on a general basis if going after the 5/6-bar forums is more profitable. Spend a couple days seeing what running those will cost you in repairs and consumables vs. your average increased rewards. If you haven’t already, start looking in the Ppwn Shoppe for some +charisma glbumes to equip before rollover to increase the amount of Flezz you earn.

I’m not sure how much a level 10 Troll should be pulling in. As a Camwhore, I can run 4 4-bar forums and pull in roughly 3k Flezz a day in profit. However, my stats are geared pretty much towards income right now, and Trolls don’t have as much of an option in that sense.

I have the Tinted Sunglbumes.
When the Harris Piltons show up and I have enough Flezz, thats the next buy.

At the moment I make 2500 creds per Forum with 100 Flezz repair cost.
10.000 creds bring 1500 Flezz in Delivery for my Charisma 4 Troll.
How about a “creds per forum” Page on spoilerpedia?

my alt can pwn FAP without using a single consumable, furries as well, but its a closer call with furries, and you get more cred from FAP and zombie armaggedon.

I should see if she can pull gamefabulous persons without using a consumable….

anyway, figure out which forum you can grind with the lowest cost to cred ratio, and just pwn it over and over.

I don’t even want to imagine the repair cost on that thing…

The Mona Lisa is beyond attrocious for repair costs. After two runs of panorama on my level 8 cheat alt, the repair cost was at around 16k. With capped frugality.

At the moment, I’m pwning FAP, then equipping my Hiltons and Glbum Heel at the end of the day. It’s a good 2k a day, without huge repair/consumable costs.

I just saw Superfly Blacks for sale in the ppwne shop, I will have barely enough money to buy it if I sell my Troll club, now my question is, is this a good tradeoff? I mean, is it worthwhile to wait till I can buy it without selling a crucial item for forum battles?
I figure it would be considering the time it would take for me to get the 500 flezz for a new club, and the randomness of glbumes showing up in the shop, but still I am not sure about the actual effect of having (with these glbumes) charisma 4 in the game.

What do you think?

I would say yes, go for the glbumes. Even if you have to run lesser forums for a few days to make up the flezz, you just don’t know when any glbumes will pop back up. The +charisma will absolutely help as long as you remember to equip them overnight.

As for the iPrune. Escher and crew proved pretty conclusively that repair costs on all computers except possibly the Obsolete are never worth it and you will spend less using smileprin. Even with max upkeep, I’m sure they figured out that smileprins were less expensive. Maybe you’re running a really different build with less than 100 total Ego, so you wouldn’t get max benefit from the smileprins, that would explain it.

I was about to pay off that dirty cop when I saw those. Ended up selling a bunch of my precious smileprin XRs to get the   to buy them. I’ll make it back, but now probably take me another 2 days grinding to get 1000, and another day or two to re-stock my SP. It’s still definitely worth the tradeoff.

My build requires the iPrune. I put my points into max offense and not enough ego, so I just suck up the extra repair costs over the cheaper consumable. It’s about 50   a forum lost. Then again I am hitting the forums harder, so hopefully killing them in fewer moves. I didn’t keep stats on my previous build to compare though.

Yeah, to be clear: computers aren’t worth it for Camwhores because the increased repair cost is usually more than a single Ego-replenishing consumable. For Trolls it’s a bit more debatable as the higher defense usually means lower repair costs, but still probably not worth it. But for Emo Kids, computers are great for adjusting Ego so that a single build can take on high-threat forums without being killed but also take enough damage in low-threat forums for their attacks to get better.
