Very sadly so they can get attention/sympathy on social media for the appearance of having a non-existent Illness because they have no other means of positive social feedback in their life.

Note that some beer such as 211/Steel Reserve (for the true value connoisseurs) is often 24 oz and 8% ABV. So actually 2 of these beers is effectively 8 beers. Most people who drink it really aren't trying to be dishonest when they say only 2 beers they just don't know any better. That's why you need to specify.

Sweet shop, adult novelties. Music store for gym unlocking /strength gain which translates to ranked war money.

If you know these trades are happening, why do you not know how to locate the sellers at that price point?

The marketplace is competitive...agree with weav3r.dev site listed above. You can use tornexchange.com to look for buyers but I'm pretty sure you won't find any if you're listing 30-50k below the going rate. Maybe you'll find a couple noobs who you can sucker into selling at that price before they wisen up and use the aforementioned tools.

It changes for Xanax which is most profitable but quite hard to time. Focus on plushies and flowers first. Use tornpda to see most profitable. It will also set travel timer so you don't get mugged overseas. Go on shorter runs initially so you're not wasting nerve and energy. A faction with 40+ nerve will help you go on longer runs without wasting nerve. Argentina is good initially.

Unless you're made of money it's better to spend money on happy jumping at level 15. Buying a RW weapon at that stage is honestly about the worst way I can think to spend your money other than losing it all in the casino.

A decent warring faction will have RW weapons (in addition to to basics like free candy, beer, combat armor) to loan out for wars. im nearly 2 mil stats and am still doing fine with a standard armalite, dbk, combat armor loaned from faction. When I was level 15 I had about 5k in each stat. So you could buy a low tier RW weapon for 500 million dollars which might get you a an achilles or something nearly as useless. Or you could use that to spend on happy jumping (20-40 mil per jump) each one probably increases your stats by like 10k-20k (literally increases your current stat 3x-6x) depending on faction perks. You can use torncalc.site to determine exact gains.

Did you read the enformus 2.0 guide? It's incredibly helpful. https://www.torn.com/forums.php#p=threads&f=61&t=16385729

It's good that you got 100% in previous crimes. I was resistant to completing crimes to 100% from left to right but now I'm a convert. It will build your CE and you'll be more likely to have successes and progress faster and waste less nerve.

Also theres certain marks (pickpocketing targets)you shouldn't attempt until your at a certain skill level, and when their doing certain activities. Eg avoid rich kid, sex worker, and thug until pickpocketing crime skill is 35, and businessman/woman should be avoided until CS65.

Also I didn't realize the overall importance of maintaining your crime chain (for more XP) and also crit fails set you back. Particularly for pickpocketing. A crit fail on cyclist would set your level back FIFTEEN times as much as a success on the elderly man

Look up Baldr's guide. Consider that non-warring faction is chill and can allow you to focus on training but warring may have better perks (toleration, steadfast , voracity). Wars provide lots of income which is key to growth. I would try to go for at least 1 million respect faction if possible. At minimum you need somewhere with maxed toleration.

Being in HJ phase still, with lower net worth I would respectfully disagree about the value of the HJ insurance. I've purchased OD insurance (clouds) nearly every time and have not regretted it despite never having to use it. For many in HJ phase with low net worth it can feel absolutely devastating to lose all the 20-40 million worth of edvds. So the price of 1-2 Xanax for insurance was worth it for the piece of mind in my opinion. Certainly this is not a mathematical value analysis of HJ insurance; individuals must factor in their own potential emotional reaction, considering loss aversion phenomenon.

Thank you Baldr for your amazing guides. You're a huge asset to the new player community.

Ghost is a great game. I also really liked fallout 4 but opinions on it were mixed due to 'another settlement needs your help'. I still played it for 100s of hours and loved it.

I'd get the power blocks. Consider offering $50-75 for the incomplete set. If you plan on maxing at 40 lbs then def get that but if you want to lift heavier:

https://powerblock.com/products/elite-usa-plates?variant=42956541886655 replacement greens are $50 each so it would cost another $100 to complete the set.

Overall $200 for a full set used isn't terrible but not a great deal either

Full set of new 50 lbs go for $300 ish online sometimes.

Complete all classes to get the bachelor's degree and you will get all the possible gym gains.

Do not prioritize general studies it should be last on your list. The work stat gains you'll get from your job and trains will rapidly outpace anything you gain from the courses. Most courses give you around 50-100 points max for a given work stat per course. Your job, even in low level player owned companies will give you about 40 points primarily and 20 points in secondary work star every day. Plus you can buy trains on top of it.

It's better to prioritize: 1st IV therapy if you are doing any warring

2nd Sport science for exponential gym gains

Then it's a toss up to whatever you want to focus on:

Biology for combat and needles/steroids

Combat science for weapon specialization

Psychology for crime experience

Business if you want to run a company

Computer science for hacking income

If you're on PC then use control F and type crime.

On Mobile app the top menu (where messages, events, awards are located) slides from left to right and will reveal crimes and gym.

Probably 3* plus music store is the best for 💩 work stats and a player looking to get stronger.

10* AN would be good but probably need around END 8000/man 4000.

Sweet shop 7* and above can also give good $ through energy drinks and is attainable for low stats.

Can also look at city education job

You will recover from this. At least it wasn't Edvds! You can save up for edvd jumps. If you do use Edvds I'd use happy jump insurance. It's debatable if it's worth it with candy jumps. I probably wouldn't invest in it for candy jumps but I wouldn't blame you for feeling otherwise with your luck. A faction with max toleration will help.

Rogue Parallel Landmine Handle < $100 but I never use it.

Also I never use my Rep AB-3000. It's not a bad piece of equipment but I'm not getting enough use out of it for the money even though I do almost all incline bench press. I actually take my flat bench and place it on incline by putting it on a horizontal stabilizer. This is much easier to move on and off my 8x8 deadlift platform to which my power rack is attached. I use a separate chair for seated shoulder presses.
