Best sellers for power ups:

• Ranged Max/Min: Every ranged class has a use for these.


• Ranged Speed/Mind: Popular for most ranged classes for grinding. Limited use for master elite professions but still a good seller.


• Ranged Mind/Max or Mind/Min: For the Rifleman who is too cheap to use Brandy and Canapes.


• Melee Anything/Speed: Anything with Speed is popular.


• Melee Health/Max: Swordsman love these.


• Melee Health/Min: Less popular than the above but still sell okay.

I have a Master Swordsman alt, and I prefer Mind/Max Damage melee power-ups. When I'm fully buffed, I suffer no Health HAM costs for specials, not even with a power hammer. But even with 2 brandies and 2 arishas I still take a small amount of Mind HAM cost (when I'm wearing composite armor), so the Mind cost reduction on the power-up really helps.

I fully agree with your logic. I was surprised by the distribution of my sales at first as well. I prefer Mind+33 based melee power ups as well. I thought they would outsell the others but the consumer decides I guess.

nah, we like these not because we are too cheap for brandy and canapes but because we are far more capable of incapping ourselves than most other profs even with brandy and canapes

I only use Max/Min power ups on my stocked T-21's (base Mind about 103-107). With double brandy and a single canape (650+ power) I can spam any Rifleman special at 1 second (Rifle Speed 100) until the cows come home. If I use weaker Canapes (sub 580) I need more than 1 to keep my mind constant. With 2 brandies (always 400+ power each) and 2 canapes my mind bar will increase during a fight. With the current state of chef food there is no reason to use HAM reduction power ups in higher end gaming.
