Visit Herschell first to see if a job is available. If you’ve got 4 visits, go to a different forum with each visit.

Maximise offense for pwning so you can finish a forum in as few turns as possible (the only real exception to this rule is the level 35 forums which require a different balance of offense/ego/defense)

If you’re still getting hit alot your equipment is being damaged (especially on high end forums) so consider putting some points into upkeep, which has been getting more expensive of late as a lot of high end moar files have had their prices bumped. 3 points of offense=9 of upkeep, and will save you a bunch, though it means you might get hit more often so it’s a tradeoff. If you’re single hitting all the forums you take on, upkeep would be unnecessary.

High luck will generally get you better moar file parts, though there are exceptions (e.g. Pink Floyd from HoFF which requires low luck)

Before rollover, equip charisma boosting items. These will maximise your returns where you didn’t reach the cap for a particular forum, meaning you can visit lower end forums and still achieve the maximum flezz. An imaginary example to illustrate;

Low charisma;

Forum 1: 2m cred, maximum deliveries

Forum 2: 1.5m cred, near maximum deliveries

Forum 3: 500k cred, nowhere near maximum deliveries

High charisma;

Forum 1: 2m cred (no change)

Forum 2: 2m cred (now at maximum)

Forum 3: 1m cred (nearer maximum deliveries)

This is how I understand it anyway
