Extra Credits

I'm not sure if this has been previously stated but the 2% drop rate is just that. 2% chance every time you do a job successfully. This does not mean you will gain one ec for every 50 jobs successfully completed. It's the same 2% chance every time.

 Extra Credits 

Extra Credits, commonly referred to as ec, have a large role in pimd. Using ec one can purchase store items which boost stats, change their avatar, have a name change, buy a club, purchase in-game money, send cool gifts, and also regenerate.

Thats all great, but how do you get ec? Well, there are two ways to get ec! The first and simplest is buying ec, the other method is jobbing!



Buying Ec

Buying ec is the fastest and most effective way to get ec. To buy ec you must first go to the nurse (there are multiple ways of getting there):

One way is by clicking the store button
065C420F-65D6-4932-895A-E69FF812125D-4267-000003D1BC7B9F57_zpsc268a19c.jpg

Another is through the bank

0825ED83-624B-4A45-965B-0C6111C9C096-2552-000002D183F56F51_zpsd4ee11af.jpg


A third is when you win against an opponent

And a fourth is when you complete a job

When you are at the nurse scroll down, there you will see options to purchase ec:

There click buy!

Jobbing

Sometimes known as spamming jobs

Jobbing is the other method of earning ec. Jobbing takes a lot more time than purchasing ec, however; it is free.

The best way of jobbing for ec is unloading from full regen on an easy job. You earn ec only on successful job completions, so the easy jobs are your best bet because you will almost always win on them (I have yet to fail once).

Each time you complete a job there is a 2% chance that you will earn an ec.
If you unload from full regen, it takes 34 actions on a job until you are out of energy. This means that you technically should receive an ec every 1.4705 unloads. However, you do not always get an ec at the same point of an unload. For instance you can get an ec 2 job hits in a row, or you can get an ec and then not get another for 3 unloads (it can be even more).

Let’s suppose that you earned an ec at the "beginning" of an ec cycle and another ec at the end of the next ec cycle. That would mean that you didn't get an ec for about 2.9411 unloads. That is completely normal, the ec giver outer is not glitching. You are just somewhat unlucky (sorry).

You know that you earned an ec when this screen pops up:

Congratz!!


Usually, this method provides about 4-5 ec a day. Happy jobbing!

A Slight Side Note

Jobs do not drop only ec, they also occasionally drop dn’s (doctors notes), however; this is extremely rare… I haven’t earned one yet


Anyways, Hopefully this helps in your hunt for ec!  :)
