I need a real expert here to help me understand more about farming. I have to state first, of course that I just farm those inactives here, but still I found some problem, that's why i need help from friends, if it's possible, from the pimd directly. I found it illogical: My stat is Str 43k / Int 51k. I have plenty of tutor bonus (i wont expose it here of course, but the figure is quite big ) and item bonus of 48k/48k. The one that i dance over only has Int of 40k, no item, no tutor. And I still fail MOST OF THE TIME with FULL REGEN STATE. My Question is, what is the logic behind the farming calculation? And is there any significant stat effect of the showcase items we bought or tutor bonus stat? I feel that they're totally insignificant. Tutor Bonus still give some cash bonus though, but no stat bonus is truly significant. Even the percentage bonus from jetpack and frank's tank which is percentage bonuses. Thank you very much if there's any reply or attention here. I really needs an answer. PIMD, please... Thank you...
The farming calculation is extremely complicated. When making the formula they did random things such as piece-wise functions at different boundaries so it changes at different places and the formula can't really be derived. It does seem like you lose most of the time when you battle someone of your same stats or slightly lower. I cannot explain exactly why but perhaps the developers intended this in the formula(s).
I have always used tutor bonus primarily for cash bonus as opposed to increase chance of winning...takes lots of money in tuts to make a difference otherwise. The percentage showcase items are way more significant than the non-percentage showcase items at high stats and less significant at low stats.
Percentage bonus is going to help You more if you're higher stats. Besides that I've thought the exact same thing. I'm 50/50 on people 40kcs higher than me but I have about 100kcs in tut bonus combined with showcase item bonuses.
The game tries to make it difficult to farm people at your stat or slightly below. What is the str value of the person you are farming? I have found that unbalanced opponents make it difficult to farm as well. As for the item and tut bonus, they do help you. If your tut bonus is 10,000 str and 10,000 int, this equated to about a 400cs increase for you. The bonus given adds about 2% of that to your overall cs. I hope that made sense. In other words, some items are worth it and are cheaper or about the same price as a tutor with same str and/or int bonus. Bottom line: the behind the scenes calculations in this game are frustrating at times in battles. I "trip" and/or lose more times than I should in fights.
Thank you guys for helping me... So the thing such as tutor bonus and showcase item bonus are added to the stamina bar and not to our stat? Since so many of u have shared, i'll share mine too. Tutor Bonus 50k/50k is equal to 1000/1000 bonus to real stat right? So does the showcase item bonuses? I thought the tutor bonuses are taken from our tutor stat too and not their stamina. Why are they making so frustratingly complicated logics? And i still feel that those item bonuses apart from pots are totally insignificant...
All of the item bonuses and tutor bonuses give added bonus to your main health each time you fight. Having 50k str bonus in tuts is the equivalent of using an item that gives 50k str bonus. You just don't see the bonus but its there.
Your avatar matters too, remember that the jock is more for fighting rather than the party animal for dancing.
