What Drugs should I use?

If you are using drugs to train your stats, the main question is 'What drug should I use in order to maximise my stat gain?'. The obvious answer is Xanax, but that can be expensive and hard to get hold of, especially after they put the price up to around 900k in all locations.

Thanks to killerbub [272070] for these great tutorials!
Thanks to jcgamo88 [102841] for the Xtc/refill or Xanax tutorial!

 

This study covers some of the alternatives, wether you should be training LSD or Ecstasy, or PCP or ecstasy, as well as Mush

LSD or Ecstasy?

Actually it depends, because there are a lot of variables such as the house you have, your stats, wether you are a donator or not and the effect of LSD (remember, LSD gives you varying amounts of happy)

(For strength , dexterity or speed) When you have the following precise amount of stats both LSD and Ecstasy will give you the same stat gain but when you have less, Ecstasy would be better and if you have more, LSD will be better;

Important notes;

1. N/A means that LSD would be better
2. LSD gives a range of happy from 20 to 50
3. Max assumes that LSD will give you 50 happy
4. average assumes that LSD will give you 35 happy
5. min assumes that LSD will give you 20 happy
6. This study was made when training as a whole meaning you have a total energy and happy bars and you train with all your energy
7. This study was tested from shack to a mansion as a non donator and the values deducted were true but the rest are baised on the equation (0.002 stat) + (0.00212 happy) + 0.55

PCP or Ecstasy?

Fairly simple, this all depends on what house you live in;

---

Shrooms?


This part covers the worst Drug in the game...
It's the magic mushroom! While it really isn't a great drug , on the other hand it is very cheap, at about 16k, and a lot of people can afford to take it, compared to, say, Xanax.
But actually sometimes when you take Shrooms you gain less stats then you would without it!
What the hell? Yes it's true, and that's because its effect is very strange. You lose 25 energy but on the other hand you gain 250 happiness.
But unfortunately sometimes the loss in energy is not compensated by the gain in happiness, so you end up losing both stats and cash... Being a donator definately helps, as you'll see.

Follow these guidelines to avoid losing stats and cash;

Non Donator
Don't take shrooms if you are living in these houses;
Private Island
Castle
Palace
Ranch
Mansion
Penthouse
Villa
Chalet
Do take shrooms if your stats are lower than this, in these houses;
Beach house 253
Detached house 1,313
Semi-detached house 1,843
Apartment 2,108
Trailer 2,267
Shack 2,373
note; This is for training Speed, Dex, and Strength
Donator
Don't take shrooms if you are living in these houses;
Private Island
Castle
Palace
 
Do take shrooms if your stats are lower than this, in these houses;
Ranch 1,490
Mansion 2,550
Penthouse 3,080
Villa 3,610
Chalet 4,140
Beach house 4,670
Semi-Detached house 6,260
Detached house 5,730
Apartment 6,525
Trailer 6,684
Shack 6,790
 
 
note; This is for training Speed, Dex, and Strength
Note; The italic numbers are the amount of stats you need to have less than in order to get a gain.
eg If you are training speed, your speed should not exceed the number in italics displayed next to your house.

Ecstasy + refill or Xanax?

Here's a calculator that will decide whether you should train using ecstasy+refill or xanax for each of your stats.


-Your Stats- -Take-
Speed:
Strength:
Defence:
Dexterity:
Happy:


Actual Formula:
(((Happy*2)*.00212)+.55+(x*.0002))*30 = (((happy+70)*.00212)+.55+(x*.0002))*40

Simplified Formula:
(((((Happy*2)*0.00212)+0.55)*30)-(((Happy+70)*0.00212)+0.55)*40)/0.002

Fill in the variable happy (put your happy (dependant on your house) into the formula where it says 'happy')and calculate.
The outcome will produce a number. If the stat you want to train is higher than that number, Xanax will yield more gain. If lower Ecstasy and a refill will give more gains.

Example (With a Ranch)
((1200*.00212)+.55+(x*.0002))*30 = ((670*.00212)+.55+(x*.0002))*40
(2.544+.55+(x*.0002))*30 = (1.3992+.55+(x*.0002))*40
(3.094+(x*.0002))*30 = (1.9492+x*.0002))*40
(3.094+.0002x)*30 = (1.9492+.0002x)*40
92.82+.006x = 77.968+.008x
14.852 = .002x
14.852/.002 = x
x = 7002


Example (With a Palace)
(((((1000*2)*0.00212)+0.55)*30)-(((1000+70)*0.00212)+0.55)*40)/0.002
((((2000*.00212)+.55)*30)-((1070*.00212)+.55)*40)/.002
(((4.24+.55)*30)-(2.2684+.55)*40)/.002
(4.79*30-2.8184*40)/.002
(143.7-112.736)/.002
30.964/.002
x = 15482

So if you are training your dex, and you already have 6k in dex you should use XTC+refill to get higher gains.
But if you are training speed and have 7426 or higher, then Xanax alone will yield more gains. This only works for Spd, Str, and Dex. For Def change .55 to .25 on both sides.

i've made on with the simplified formula.
http://xtremeprv.googlepages.com/calc.htm
but there are diferences between simplied and normal formulas, you guys need to check out if theres any problem.
with more time i'll add the defence calc if you want it.

What are refill?

This formula doesn't take into account either the length of time the after effects last (i.e. how quickly you can take another drug and so which gives you the best gain over time) or the relative price of xanax/ecstacy points (i.e. which gives you the best bang for your buck)

Anyway, if you actually went ahead and simplified the formula here you get the following

x = Happy*22.6-5720

Not so complicated really, and alot easier to use now happy is more variable. A better tool would be one where you enter your happy level and it shows the point at which you should switch.

Nobody has answered the question "What are refills?" I'm still wondering what it is, so I can use it with the Ecstasy.

TCB: Sorry: Refills are when you spend 25 points to refill your energy. This can be done by going to City > Points Building > Refill energy bar.
Can be done once a day!

I'm not trying to be downer but the Refill/Xanax calc seems to be missing a few variables. Doesn't it matter if you're a donator (to determine the value of the refill)?

Also couldn't you by the same theory use a Xanax and a refill? It seems like comparing Xanax to Ecstasy directly would be more valuable or am i wrong?

Also now that the price of points has been stabilized, this could be calculated based on the price of Xanax.

Ok, I figured out my own question about the refill and xanax but I think something is still wrong with the calc. It's telling me Ecs and Refill but a Xanax gets me likt 562 and the Ecs and refill only get me like 513.

Would it be possible to take xanax and ecstasy at the same time and do a refill? I would think that would give you amazing stat gains, but is the risk of OD just too high? Or do they cancel out?

TCB: You can't take more than one drug at a time. See the Drug page in information for reference.

remove the commas in your stats for this calc to show correct :P

its all well and good saying ecs and refill but is a refill not includibly more costly than xanax?
wih points selling for 50k each your talking 1.250mil which far exceeds the price of xanax at around 700k
so yeah sure ecs and a refill may be the best idea for stat gain but the price just makes it more difficult
any chance someone could compare the stat gain with prices and see what the most efficient method of stat gain was?

if it says take xanax will you od easyer or hardersmilies/smiley.gifsmilies/smiley.gifsmilies/smiley.gif

TCB: The outcome of this page has no effect on chances of OD'ing, which is always random.

Could u let me know clearly the difference between xanax and refill ??
I think xanax is more cheaper than refill and also xanax get +250 energy and refill is just +100 energy. Please kindly explain me the advantage and disadvantage between xanax and refill.

TCB:
Refill- once daily, +100 energy, can be used in conjunction with other drugs
Xanax- 2-3 times daily, +250 energy, may overdose, ups addiction level
Off the top of my head...

what if the house is rented only.. not owned by us? do we need to follow the house we currently staying in?

TCB: This is based on how much happy you have. It doesn't matter if the house is owned or rented.

This guide has to change a little bit(temporary)..
You cannot buy Points at the moment or if you buy them you'll have to spend a fortune in order to train properly..
Money-wise the only way to "drug"-train is thru Xanax ( around 900k if you buy them from market).
( normal situation: xtc ~65-75k ea + ~1250000 for refill = ~1.3m+ )
( our days : xtc ~65-75k + ~2250000 = ~2.3m+ )

Shrooms come in really handy when you move from one house to another - you can eat some and instantly gain 250 happiness for 25E (around every 8 hours), yea you can also use playstations and xboxes - depends on how long you feel like waiting around to get happiness.. to go from like 0 to 4500 happiness takes like 3 or 4 days if you don't eat any shrooms or play on xbox / playstation.
