Go in with at least 2 more of any item than you think you’ll need. It’s better to be safe than sorry when the gods of the RNG turn on you. I usually went in with at least six of each smileprin and douchebaggery drugs. If I didn’t use it in one fight I’d have it for the next. Sure I had to sell them back off later when I didn’t end up needing them, but sitting on 9k flezz at the moment I’m not overly bothered with the flezz layout early.

PROTIP: Spend a day or two pwning lower level forums to build up a cash reserve. It’ll help in the longrun.
