  1. Farming Inactives
    —————————
    There are several different ways to grow in Pimd. Maybe not as much as the other ATA games, but that's what makes this game unique.

    The strategy I will teach you in this guide is how to efficiently farm inactives. I will try to be detailed so smaller players can understand.

    First, if you are below 3000 combined stats I would suggest you to stay on your jobs until you get to 3000 combined stats. Ok once you are above or at 3000 combined stats(3kcs) you should be ready.

    Hiring Tutors
    ----------------
    Ok now this is what you do. If you do not have a fair amount of tutors, which varies depending on your stats, hire some. For players just at 3kcs I would probably suggest you to hire about 5 5k tutors (5k is the price of the tutor, nothing to do with their stats).

    Reason For Hiring Tutors
    ------------------------------
    The reason I want you to hire tutors is so u can get max cash from each hit on the inactive you are farming. Your tutors will give you an added money bonus from each fight/dance victory you get. Remember this, the amount of money you'll make from each hit depends solely on the tutors price NOT the tutor's stats.The tutors stats adds to yours which helps you to successfully defend and attack stronger enemies, but does NOT affect how much money you'll make off of each hit.

    Make Max Money Off Of Your Hits
    ------------------------------------
    To figure out whether you are making max money from each hit you should attack an inactive once from full strength and record how much money you made off of that one hit. After recording the amount of money you've made hire another tutor and attack with full strength with the exact same stats as the attack before, and attack the same inactive as before and record how much money you've made. If the amount of money you've made this time is the same as before than good job you are getting your max money bonus. However if the amount of money you've made increases than you haven't reached the max amount of money output yet. Repeat the process of hiring tutors and attacking your inactive until the money you make off of the hit stops increasing. When it stops increasing than congratulations you are making max money per hit. Be aware as you grow stronger your max money per hit will increase also so you will need to hire more tutors and repeat this process.

    Showcase Items
    ------------------
    As you can see if you look at your profile page there is a section called Showcase. You can buy items for your showcase from the store at the bottom tab below the Attack and Defense items tabs. The items you buy here won't affect your stats by increasing or decreasing them directly but these items will help your max money per hit bonus. Since you want to have your very highest max money payout bonus buying some of these Permanent items would be very wise. Another way to get items in your showcase is from gifts from other players. Gifted Showcase Items such as Charlie and crabs won't give u any bonuses, but the items: Shutter shades, and Franks tank will give you bonuses.

    Good Farming Rate
    ---------------------
    First off hopefully you know but if you don't farming is fighting/dancing off against another player successfully 5 times in a 24 hour period. Alright now the best farming I've found is hitting an opponent about 7 times and than wait for a regeneration of full power than repeat hitting the inactive 7 more times. It is simple and effective. As you'll notice when you use more and more energy the amount of money you make per hit steadily decreases, so hitting 7 times and repeating gives you a steady flow of cash and is relatively quick.

    Finding Inactives
    --------------------
    Since I've already taught you how to farm inactives efficiently now I guess I should tell you how to find your own inactives by yourself instead of farming ones people tell you to. The reason you should find your own is because the ones that people tell you of are probably pretty popular and widely known so they are likely to be too weak to fight very often. So this is how you can find your inactives. First if you are at average price you can look up your hire price from the tutors tab by searching for tutors. Add two 0s to the end of the minimum price and than look up tutors of that price. If you are overpriced or underpriced look for a player in your stat range that is average priced and use there hire price instead of yours. Look through the tutor list searching for players who you can beat by either fighting or dancing. A good inactive for farming should either have a low intelligence or a low strength which gives you a good opening for easy ,successful attacks.The inactive should have one low stat but the other stat should be significantly higher because the higher the stats your opponent has the more money you'll make per hit. Be very careful of who you attack though. To check if the player is active or not you should first look at there wall and observe the last post there. If the post is 20 days ago than you might be good. To make sure you are safe you should post on there wall "Are you Active?", and than wait 24-48 hours after your post to get a response. If you don't get a response by 24-48 hours after than post on their wall " I am going to farm you unless you post on my wall in 12 hours" ; if they don't respond than happy farming.


    Possible Drawback
    ---------------------
    If the rumors are true than a lot of inactives accounts are being erased as of now, so many might disappear. I do not fully understand what is going on but if that happens the number of inactives could dramatically decrease and than you'll have to actually fight tooth and nail for your money.........But hey have fun until they all dissappear or whatever. Hahaha,  Good luck.
     
  2. nicely done bro.. this how tutorials should be made.. 
     
  3. Now that's an awesome tutorial for newbies, a must read for them. You have done a good job with the tutorial there Ryan 
     
  4. Thanks, really helpful! 
     
  5. 
     
  6. It, really, was of great help Sir..
    Thanks for creating this guide.. 
     
  7. Partyswager has all the cheap tuts
     
  8. Good job Ryan! 
     
  9. Sure 7 hits Is nice, but you should have included a 5 minute regen cycle for the people who want to make the most money they can when they have a lot of Time available. Other than that, nice job.
     
  10. Two  up!! Good job..
     
  11. Wow thx I was making like 1 mill a day now I make around 20 mill a day u r awesome btw ur nit getting any
     
  12. Great job Ryan.

    But really the best way to farm is to hit 2 times, wait 5 minutes, hit once, wait five minute(you'll be full again)

    Or, hit 3 times every 10 minutes.

    But other than that great thread
     
  13. @Hermes and @Royale good point guys Thx for the advice
     
  14. Bump, enjoy newbies 
     
  15. I would advice (for better $) to hit 2x, regen once, and hit one more time. Next regen should be full regen. You get more cash in 10 minutes' time.
