I end up playing these games for a bit then just get bored or see no point and then quit.
I hate how you're required to have certain items to do a mission, especially ones that have upkeep. I also hate how it costs money to hide your stash too.
How do you get New World Credits?
I've been putting most points into Psy and Phy, a few into attack and defense, and some into stamina. I'm a contractor, btw.
I think my attack and defense are both at 7. I have several items now also and down in the bottom of the screen, it will show like, 30 attack, 25 defense. what does this mean?
eventually, the stash cost becomes completely negligible. by level 40 or so you should be raking in enough cash to just shrug it off. I mean, I'm consistently getting hits of 20k each, and a large number of targets in my range dropping several million in one attack.
same thing with upkeep. It just becomes negligible. It is a bit strangling early on, but overcome rather quickly.
I don't know at which level, b/c it wasn't from the beginning, but at some point you get 1 NWC for each level. You can also purchase them with real money, of course.
as a contractor, you should definitely focus on stamina/attack. it's the best class, and stamina is favored. the attack/defense ratings basically show your total attack power --meaning the top attack items that will be used in an attack multiplied with your attack stat (depends on how many points you put into attack. it will get larger and larger). same with defense.
by top attack items (same with defense), I mean:
say you have 20 sectants. add yourself that = 21 sect power, or people that need to be equipped. now say you have 35 weapons. attack power will take into consideration the top 21 weapons (highest attack, as each person in your little army needs one weapon for attack), and add those only. the same goes for each item in the 4 categories: weap, armor, upgrade, pet.
consider that when you are being attacked, defense is important. your sects will then use the top items from each category with the highest defense rating first.
so, consider that you want two set in each category, for each member: the highest attack items and highest defense items.
