[TIPS] How to buy weapons
Ministry of eBe Education
You just recently inherited some cash from your dead eUncle or you just got bored to fight barehanded and you would like to fight a lot. What is the most efficient way to do so?
Here are some informations based on the eBelgian market.
I will deal with the way to maximize your damage overall.
There are 2 possibilities:
1: Buy food
2: Buy food and weapons
If you are short in money, buying food is the most efficient way (excepted if the market is very special):
Let’s compare the Q5 food and Q5 tanks.
Cost of 10 Q5 foo
😛35 BEF
Cost of 1 Q5 tank and 5 Q5 foo
😛34 BEF + 17.5 BEF =51.7 BEF
With the influence formula:
I = ((R-1)/20 + 0.3) × ((S/10)+40) (1 + FirePower/100)
I: Influence on the hit
R: Value of the Rank
S: Strength
Damage done with 10 Q5 food barehanded = 10 *((R-1)/20 + 0.3) × ((S/10)+40)
Damage done with 5 Q5 food and 1 Q5 weapon = 5 *((R-1)/20 + 0.3) × ((S/10)+40) *2 = 10 *((R-1)/20 + 0.3) × ((S/10)+40)
You see that the damage done in both case is similar. However, the second option is 50% more expensive.
FOOD IS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN WEAPONS
Now, there is another problem. Daily you cannot consume as much food as you want (maximum 240 Q5 food/day). Let’s suppose that you are rich enough and you are hesitating on which weapon you should buy.
If I look at the market, I currently see:
Q1 weapons : 6.85 BEF
Q5 weapons : 35.5 BEF
as 6.85 * 5 =34.25
However, this is totally wrong!
There is another thing that should be considere
😛Q5 weapons can be used 5 times while Q1 weapons can only be used once!
Which means that if we consider that the price of Q5 weapons is 35 BEF, here should be the price of other weapons to deal the same damages with 5 hits:
Q1: 1.4 BEF
Q2: 5.6 BEF
Q3: 12.6 BEF
Q4: 22.43 BEF
Q5: 35 BEF
As you can see, it is impossible to find those price on the market.
IF YOU WANT TO BUY WEAPONS ALWAYS BUY Q5 QUALITY!
This was the tips of the day.

You could do a similar calculation for foo😛 depending on the situation on the market, sometimes it's more interesting to buy different quality food to recuperate health - just compare the price per unit of health.

I'm confused, if you can use the Q5 weapon 5 times, you should divide your cost by 5 to have the cost per hit, then compare it to a Q1 weapon, a Q2 divided by 2, etc... seems fairly obvious to calculate? Using the above sample
Q1 / hit: 6.85 BEF
Q5 / hit: 7 BEF
So Q1 is the better deal, unless I'm missing something???
